Pretty Soulmate
This was not what Darcy was expecting when she moved into Avengers Tower with Jane. She expected the SCIENCE! Of course, even expected the occasional explosion, but she was not expecting a giant green rage monster. Some Bunsen burner had exploded, not unexpected, and the glass had flown right into the adorably bashful face of one Dr. Bruce Banner, then he'd turned green. Totally unexpected. It seemed no one thought it necessary to tell Darcy and Jane about the good doctor's condition, not that Darcy would have thought differently about him, but it would have been nice to know to expect the occasional green episode. As it was unexpected, both Darcy and Jane screamed in an embarrassing fashion. Jane ran right out the lab doors, hopefully to alert the super people, but seriously, she just left Darcy there all on her own with the ten-foot green dude with a bad attitude. Not knowing what to do, and being wholly terrified, Darcy fell back on her standard defense mechanism. She talked.
"You sure are green…and big. Don't smash me." Hulk tilted his head at her words, then took a gorilla hop towards her making her squeak.
"Pretty soulmate." He boomed. And she melted. How adorable was that? It didn't even occur to her to wonder how that was going to work, he was just too cute when he stopped looking like he wanted to smash all the things. So what if her soulmate was big and green and only showed up when Banner got angry? He was hers and that's all that she cared about. Of course, she had two different soulmate marks, and if Hulk was one it was likely Bruce was the other one. She just had to get him back to his small pink self to find out.
It took several hours for the Hulk to let Bruce back, he wanted to talk to his Pretty Soulmate, and who could resist that. Once the Avengers, Jane had gone for help, had found out Hulk was one of her soulmates they'd deemed her safe with him and left them to their chat. Though she suspected most of them did it so they didn't have to see the weird, and potential grossness, of that soul bond. Tony, she figured, was recording it all anyway for laughs. Finally, Hulk let Bruce out to play, and he was wonderfully naked when he shrank back down to normal. Darcy couldn't help but to look, and wondered if he wasn't done shrinking yet. Looking up into frightened brown eyes, she smiled.
"Want some pants?"
"Oh jeeze." She just laughed. Yup, the good doctor was her soulmate too. Oh, the wonderful possibilities.
