A/N: So this is taking place after Thor and before the Avengers. Just pretend like the other movies didn't happen. Hope you all enjoy it.
Chapter 1
There wasn't much that Darcy Lewis couldn't handle, but having the Intern follow her around like a lost puppy dog was starting to get on her nerves. They had kissed once, once and he acted like they had been in love for their entire lives. So when she was hanging out in the apartment she, Jane, and Erik shared and Ian the Intern let himself in and tried to massage her feet Darcy decided enough was enough.
"Jesus Ian, stop. We talked about this, we thought we were going to die and kissed one time so please stop acting like we're an item."
Ian slumped to the ground, it wasn't as if Darcy had never said that to him but there was something about the way she said it this time that made it seem real for him. Jane had been sitting at the kitchen table working on a proposal for Stark Industries but had been startled by Darcy's sudden outburst, she watched as Darcy pulled her shoes back on and walked out the front door.
"She's really not interested is she?" Ian sounded pitiful and it pulled at Jane's heart strings but she had watched for almost a year as she spurned his advances again and again with no change.
London was a busy city and Darcy had gotten lost more than a few times, so it was no surprise when Jane called her an hour after storming out asking where she was.
"I just went for a walk, is the intern still there?"
"Ian left, but there is someone else here that wants to see you."
Finally making her way back to the apartment and not even in the door completely Darcy was accosted by two very strong arms.
"Lady Darcy! What a pleasure to see you once more."
Well it wasn't Thor which meant that there was only one other person who could be holding her a foot off the ground at the moment. "Volstagg, good to see you too." There might have been one of two ribs broken from the hug but Darcy would survive.
"There is nothing more wonderful than seeing your smiling face once more Lady Darcy," Fandral bowed deeply before kissing her knuckles, it was moves like this that had made her consider jumping his bones on more than one occasion. "I hope you have been well."
Fandral backed away while keeping intense panty-dropping eye contact before the third visitor approached her. "Lady Darcy," Hogun bowed to her ceremoniously before giving her a hug. "How are you?"
"I've been better honestly, but you know that's life."
"Is something the matter?" Thor appeared from another room with a worried look across his face, "Has someone hurt you?"
"Oh hey muscle man, no one's hurt me I'm fine."
"She's lying, Ian's been at it again."
"Jane!" There had been so much hugging in the last five minutes of Darcy's life she didn't know what to do with herself, Thor had always been gentle when hugging her understanding that her puny mortal form couldn't handle his strength but Volstagg was so excitable he forgot her bones broke easily. "What are you guys doing here anyway?"
"We are here to take you to Asgard of course!" Fandral swept his hand outwards toward her in a flourish, he was so much like Robin Hood that Darcy was surprised he didn't have a bow and arrows.
"Sorry, what?"
"I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it yet."
The silence was deafening, Darcy's mouth hung open looking from face to face to find some reason to think it was a joke. "Jane?"
"Erik and I have been invited to study in Asgard on the Einstein-Rosen Bridge from the other side to make sense of how it works, that way we will have the data we need for the experiments we've been trying to run for the past few years. One of our conditions was that you would come with us if you wanted."
The Asgardians stood watching as she tried to make sense of everything, this wasn't news that she could take and just be expected to leave right away with after all. "You're serious?" Jane nodded. "Well what the hell are we waiting for?!"
Darcy ran to her room only to find her things were already boxed up her purse and a weekend bag were sitting on the bed. "I hope you don't mind, we assumed you would agree to go with us." Jane was smiling wider than ever.
"If Fandral went through my underwear drawer I'm gonna kick his ass."
"Are you alright Lady Darcy?"
Colors were swirling around even with her eyes closed making her pounding head worse and threatening her breakfast to make a reappearance. Darcy shook her head trying to breath normally.
"The bifrost is not something that Midgardians are accustomed to." The voice was much deeper than any Darcy had ever heard before, either someone had joined them or Thor sounded different on his home planet.
Finally gaining the strength to open her eyes and try to brace herself. Hogun and Fandral were crouched next to where she had collapsed with worried looks across their faces, taking the formers hand up she kept trying to control her breathing. There was someone new with them, one of the tallest people she'd ever laid eyes on with a sword almost as big as he was. The gold armor he wore matched his bright gold eyes only making them seem brighter and stand out more against his dark skin, the gaze seemed lazy but deep and Darcy suddenly felt naked in front of him.
"We should get the three of you settled in before the feast."
Being led out of the giant golden dome out on the rainbow bridge the earthlings gasped, the city was so bright and shiny that everything glittered in a way Darcy was glad she had her sunglasses on hand. Finally getting to the giant palace looking building (which was still smaller than the actual gigantic palace) they found that their rooms were all in the same hallway and the lab was just around the corner, they each even had an office to use and keep items in if they needed the space.
Depositing a couple of boxes in the lab the three ran for the rooms.
"How the fuck is this single room bigger than the entire apartment?" Darcy's scream reached her other roommates. The bed was twice the size of a regular queen sized bed on Earth, the closet had enough room for Darcy to live in and it was already filled with clothes of all Asgardian styles and colors. The bathroom on the other side of the room was filled with marble fixtures and floor, a rug thrown across a portion of the floor to keep her feet from getting cold, a giant tub took up one of the walls, a shower was situated a couple of feet away, the sink was wide enough to sit in and the mirror was the largest she had ever seen.
On the opposite side of the bathroom was a vanity already filled with hair brushes, combs, something that looked like gems, and another thing that looked like it curled. Darcy didn't know what most of it was but she would be cure to try it out.
"Darcy are you in here?"
Poking her head out of the bathroom she saw Jane and Erik walk in. "This place is amazing."
"Thor said we should change into some of the clothes provided for us so that we don't stand out too much at dinner."
Finally noticing that her friends were wearing different clothes, she ran to the closet and pulled on the closest dress to her. It fit really well, the waist sat high and the fabric covered enough of her humongous boobs to keep Fandral from drooling.
Thor led them to the feast and brought them immediately to meet his parents.
"Mother, father may I introduce Doctor Erik Selvig, Doctor Jane Foster, and Lady Darcy Lewis." In turn each of them smiled. "My friends, may I introduce my parents Queen Frigga, and the Allfather Odin." In turn each lifted their heads in an informal hello. Frigga smiled widely at Thor realizing that this was the Jane he was always going on about.
Darcy was almost too entranced with looking at how intricate the walls were to notice that another person entered the room but when she did everything stopped. Jane and Erik stiffened next to her, the three of them weren't sure what to expect while they were in Asgard but it certainly wasn't this.
"What the fu-" Jane slapped a hand over her interns mouth before she could finish, Thor kept smiling at the man but didn't move to embrace him.
"And may I introduce my brother Loki,"
Darcy had never seen Thor's brother but had heard a lot about him, she didn't imagine that he would have been so tall, or pale, or even so angry looking. Sure the guy tried to kill Thor and destroyed a small town in New Mexico but did he have to look like absolutely everything pissed him off? Where Thor and Frigga had blonde hair, Loki's was black only making his skin look even paler.
Loki didn't even look at them; he didn't say a single word and instead sat next to his mother and started eating. Thor motioned for the guests to take a seat and fill their plates with food, he started telling his family about the work Jane and Erik were doing and how exciting it was for them to have this opportunity. Frigga seemed to be the more talkative of the parents but Odin did have a few things to say, Loki was the only one who stayed silent.
As the intern Darcy was tasked with finding bits of information that could be useful to help Jane and Erik's experiments, but the office she was given and the books they had brought didn't have everything they needed so instead she made her way to the library for the day packed with a couple of notebooks and snacks.
Pulling out her ipod and throwing on the soundtrack to Harry Potter Darcy took a handful of books off the shelves and settled in at a table, reading through and finding bits or what she needed Darcy would jot them down to take back to Jane. She cited everything just in case they needed to publish when the bridge opened. Where the information came from wouldn't be remembered five minutes from now so she made sure to get everything she needed before moving it away.
Hours passed, almost twenty books were piled up in the chairs surrounding Darcy, and she was already on the third movie's soundtrack before she realized that the books she had gone through were starting to disappear. Looking up she saw none other than Loki sitting in a chair on the level above her reading a book and waving his hand lazily.
"What the hell are you doing?" Silence. "I need those books!" Still silence. "Hey assbag, I'm not done with my research and I need the books you're taking from me." The books stopped disappearing and there was a small sigh of annoyance from Loki, the only thing sound he had made since they were introduced. "For being the god of mischief that trick wasn't great by the way."
Suddenly he was in front of her sneering down, "You think that was an actual trick?" His voice wasn't as deep as Thor's but it was still deeper than she imagined, his eyes were dark green flecked with gold, his mouth closed looking like he was waiting for an answer. "That was nothing," His voice was above her now where he had been sitting. "This is a trick."
Darcy looked up and Loki was still on the level above her looking down, but he was also still standing at her table.
"Projection, Thor told us about that." The one at the table shimmered and disappeared. "It's almost like he wanted us to know about you just in case." The sneer deepened as Loki continued looking down at her. "He said that you were tried and you got into some real trouble, but that you were forgiven. Even with all of that you would still try to pull some tricks to make what we're doing inconvenient."
Loki scoffed, "You mean what the other woman and the old man are doing, you Darcy Lewis are a glorified assistant."
"Yeah I am, but I get money for it and I get to travel to fun places, and meet freakin' gods so I'd say that getting coffee and going through notes isn't so bad."
The library was Loki's sanctuary, he didn't have to talk to anyone while he was there and people eventually started avoiding the room if they knew he was in there. That was why when Thor's Midgardian friend came into the room and stayed for much longer than he deemed necessary Loki felt a bit annoyed. She had pulled out more books than she should have taken and left them on the table instead of putting them back when finished, and continued to tap on the table with her wooden writing instrument.
It was infuriating. He was about to tell her that she needed to leave, but when he looked down at her he was struck with an odd feeling. Of course her ample bosom caught his attention but that wasn't what made him smile. He decided he would have a little fun with this mortal woman and teach her some manners.
When she started yelling at him the fun only increased, but she took a step too far by insulting his magic and again by spouting her knowledge of his projection ability.
I will find a way to make her realize that I am not to be trifled with.
A/N: So I had started a story but realized I made Loki to human so I'm starting over. Let me know when you think.
