Chapter 2
Darcy break in like a storm in the office where Bruce Banner, brilliant scientist and one of the calmest and kind people that she knows, spend part of his time in the building. The Avengers were found of her since the day they met her, for some reason that she hadn't quite understand yet, but didn't care at all, 'cause that give her access to some parts of STARK TOWER that most of the agent didn't get access. Tony Stark was one of the group that was petty found of Darcy, he has kinda adopt her like his little sister, all of them treated her like that, but Tony, somehow was different when he was near her, all over protective and make fun of everyone and drag her within him, the other just shake their heads and keep with their things.
So to her luck, Bruce actually was there checking some papers and stuff that Darcy didn't try to understand anymore, and to her lucky he was all alone. With the headache rising to almost unbearable to this point, she didn't care a shit anything.
—Bruceeeee… — Darcy moaned piteously, dropping herself in the nearly couch that was in her way, her eyes shut trying to suppress the hideous migren. —I need help…
Bruce drops the papers that was holding and came near her, he was dressed with a purple shirt and grey pants, and over that a white lab coat. His brown eyes painted with worried and kindness.
—Are you okay, Darcy?— he ask quietly, putting a hand in her forehead checking her temperature, but finding nothing unusual.
She blinked her eyelashes to focus in him.
—Please tell me that you have any pills to kill my headache or otherwise I'm gonna die… — she shut her eyes again, 'cause the light of the light bulb were making her feel ill.
Bruce smile a little to the petite brunet and go get the pills that were in his desk to give it to her with some water. Darcy drinks it immediately and let out a soft sigh.
—Thanks… — she starts to say, but were interrupted by the door opening.
—Hey, Bruce did you check the notes that I send you early to…?—Tony Stark pause when he notice her in the couch, and his friend standing beside her. His brow furrowed with concern for the women that he consider like a littler sister. —Are you all right, darling? Is anything wrong with you? Need a doctor…? Oh, wait, Bruce is a Doctor… Why you're not doing anything to help my littler baby over there?— demand Tony, coming closer to them, his tone of voice like a worried mother over her only child. His early question already forgets.
Bruce rolled his eyes, and went back to his desk to pick up his note and wave a hand to his friend, dismissing his words. Darcy, smile weakly to him, eyes barely open and her brain half away from them.
—I already give her something, Tony… she just needed a painkiller pill for her headache, now if you excuse me, I'll finished reading the notes— Bruce say, without looking back at him, already concentrate in his papers.
—I'll wait for them later then… — Tony focuses his eyes again in her, and sit beside her still worried.
Since the first day that the billionaire meet the petite brunet, he enjoy her sense of humor and the sarcasm that she carried with her and her wit comments that not everybody understand at all, but obviously he did. Over the weeks, he develop an over protective sense toward her, and make sure that everybody knows that he was something kinda like his big brother and nobody must mess up with her and the others Avenger were ok with that. 'Cause since he was an only child and his parents were death… well, Tony find in her some resembled to a family, beside Pepper and his now friends and comrades.
—Hey, now Miss Teaser… how are you feeling?— he ask with a smile, with his fingers pulling a part some strands of hair out of her face, that was in fact some pale and under her eyes some bags.
Darcy tries hard not to fall asleep there in the comfort of the couch, but her body was thinking differently. So with effort she get up until she was sitting and her head spin a bit, but she manage to stand still just to not worry him. She smiles a little to him, wincing a bit to the pain.
—Hey big bro… yes, I just a bit fucked up from last night… stupid bastards neighbors, you know…
Tony smile brightly at her, and he relax in the couch.
—Yeah… stupid people that doesn't know when to shut the hell up and turn the music off— His grin more big this time, when both of they realize that Tony was exactly that type of people.
Darcy sigh, she knows that she shouldn't has to stay there for long, specially 'cause Jean really need her that day for continue in her new experiment, and she didn't want to disappoint her at all… Jane always was good to her, and was her best friend. That brings something back to Darcy's memory… something about a dark and tall prince God of mischief and lies that was supposed to be dead. But she was too tired to think hard about it. Didn't care, anyway.
######
So Darcy talk a littler with them, most Tony because Bruce was busy and then after half an hour, she left them to them science and stuff and walk back to the lab where Jane must be working, but for her surprise and kinda annoying luck, she came face to face with Thor and his brother. In the begging she hasn't paying attention to her surrounding still mind off with her pain, that was starting to fad way slowly… to slowly if someone ask her, but then she was walking throght the passage that lead to the elevator to the lows labs, when she turn around a corner and smash her face direcly to a mass of strong wall, that was actually alive.
Darcy growled annoyed, and step back to glare daggers to the person that was in her way, only to discover that was actually Thor and Loki. Great… just great. Just the last thing that she needed it was the kindhearted blond God of thunders to speak aloud when she was dying with her headache.
—Lady Darcy… am glad that we found again!— Thor say, with true glee, but like always didn't mediate his strong voice.
—Shit… — Darcy mumble under her breath, but force a smile to her face just because she did really appreciate the big blond giant. —Hello Thor… how… how are you?— even when she tried to sound normal she knew that didn't get it, but he was too distracted to note it, Loki on the other hand did notice her false smile and force tone, she just didn't hasn't notice him yet.
—I'm fine Lady Darcy, very happy actually— bounce him, putting a friendly hand in her shoulder that almost got her face to kiss the floor. Again he didn't notice.
She almost let split a curse and wince when a shot of pain pass her brain, so she bit hard her lower lip. She knew that she must get the hell out of there before she will scream at him… or worse, tease his ass again.
—Yeah… yeah… I glad for you… but I have to leave, Jane is probably waiting for me— she starts, trying to pass him. But Thor got other ideas.
—By the way, I'd like you to meet my brother— Thor grin like a mad man, when he step aside a bit more to let her see that in fact, Loki was standing somewhat behind-aside from him, looking extremely like an ice cube, no emotion in his face. —He'll be staying with us for now and on!
Loki in the other hand, all the time since they meet again with the petite brunet, was observing her the whole time, and this time, he did notice that her face was pale, paler in the way of loss of sleep and under her eyes were dark bags. His brother apparently was oblivion to this sings. So when he put a hand in her shoulder she almost fell but Thor was to found of himself and didn't pay attention to that, even when she wince under his touch. His brother almost always forgets his force.
Darcy blink a bit, her eyes meeting his, the green emerald that give her a sensation of ice and sadness at the same time. If she wants to get over and disappear in the lab, she better finish with the crap. Mysteriously she didn't hate the guy, for her Loki was some other dude, with big daddy issue and a crap life, that lost his mind for what happen to him, Thor has told her about it when they were at Greenwich. Not that she excuse that he has kill a lot of people and bad stuff that he did, but Darcy think for herself that if she would have been in his position and with all the power he possess begin a fucking God, she probably would have done a lot of shit too.
But this was not the best day to have a conversation. With anyone.
—Hey, Mr. Mischief, nice to meet you!— Darcy smile to him, actually a real smile, not a fake like she has given to Thor, she didn't have anything against the dude after all.
Loki was bewildered with her attitude, when she has smile falsely to Thor, who from what he has hear, was one of her close friend, for whatever reason she has to do it, he was waiting to see hate, disgust in the minor case, even fear in her… but contrary to what he expect, she actually did smile, a real smile at him. Her next words were same confusing as her way to treated him. Like he was nothing but a mere person, not the God of lies and mischief, bastard son of Laufey, king of Jotunheim, adopted son of Frigga and Odin, brother of Thor, and Prince of Asgard, a God himself and the most dangerous sorcerer in the nine realms. The midgardian woman was nuts or something? He barely blink but keep his gaze in her blue eyes, that only show honestly, not a single lie, she was clear like the water, but Loki did see a flash of pain past her features quickly, before she look away and took a barely imperceptible breath and her hand move to rub her temple again.
Loki didn't know what to say to her greeting, but noddle to her.
—Well big boy, talk to you later… —Darcy wave a hand to Thor, and pause to glace again at Loki, who hadn't take away his eyes from her, but in this moments she didn't care a shit. —See you around Mr. Mischief!
With that Darcy disappear down the hall, without another word.
####
Three weeks has pass since that shitty morning, and Darcy was keeping well her shit, since she barely can sleep in the night, 'cause her stupids neighbors were teenagers without control, and well… they give a party four of the seven days of the week, and shit if that didn't cause her to be a bit annoyed and grumpy at work, but nobody has ask her what's wrong 'cause things at STARK TOWER were a bit mess up, with Loki's presses and the work environment was uncomfortable for most everyone. So Darcy, take her lunch time to sleep in the table of the lunch room. Were happen to be Loki too at the same time, so she, like a total normal and sane person like she was, went straight to his table and sit down, he just stay still sitting there reading some book without looking at anybody. But when she do that like two weeks ago, he stared at her like she has lost her mind and begin to turn his attention to his book again, when she spoke to him.
—Hey, Mr. Mischief, I'm gonna sit here and take a nap, so please wake me up in an hour. Thanks— Darcy didn't miss the confuse expression in his face, but just smile tiredly at him and then put her arms in the table and upon them her head, and in matter of seconds she was completely asleep.
To her surprise, Loki actually wakes her up in the time that she ask him to. And so they did the next two weeks, with a bit of conversation before she take her nap, but mostly from her part, Loki actually didn't say much, but that was okay with her. She babbles about nonsense and by the look on his face almost half of what she said he didn't understand. Mostly, the references to the pop-cultures ones. She just suggests him to read or see the movies of The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and a long list of books and movies. He only stares at her like he was having troubles figuring her out, but when she still babbles about something he didn't look so confuse, and she soon found out that he actually was seen and reading what she ask him to. That makes her happy for some reason and in return she gives him a cheese cake and a bright smile. Then when to her nap.
So it goes for another two weeks before Loki finally speak to her when she sit down beside him.
—Why are you sitting with me?— his voice was like ice and indifferent, but his eyes were shinning with confusion.
Darcy blink, looking at him with the same confusion that she could see in his wonderful emerald green eyes, wait wonderful? She blink again, focusing in his question, and not in how regal and sexy he looks, sitting there like a bad boy/nerd with his usual book. Definitively, she need her sleep back before her brain make her do something stupid... like trying to kiss his God Damn sexy expression of confusion. Yup, Darcy definitively need that hers neighbors stop partying every night.
—Well... I do it all the time— she looks at him, a bit more confuse, bags of loss of sleep under her eyes.
Loki sigh with frustration, this mortal girl always manage to make him wish to shake her. Hard. Lowering his book, that he was reading, it was The Return of the King, from the trilogy of The lord of the rings, that she has mention he must reed... he's not going to tell her that he actually has taken her world and was seen and reading all she said. So with his magic he cover the book, so it looks to everybody else like some old one. And he stared at her intensely.
—What I mean, Miss Lewis, it is, why are you still sitting with me?— his teeth clenched and his lips were pressed together in a tin line. A little frown in his brow.
She blinks again, before she understand his meaning. Resting her elbows in the table, Darcy keep her gaze over him, a little smile in her red lips.
—Why wouldn't I?
Loki was stunned for a moment, before he turn his gaze away from her, and into the front, not really seen anything.
—Because am a monster, Miss Lewis... that's why you should stay away from me, I'll do no good for you... I assured you, nothing good came from begin near me— Loki said with a lame voice, still not looking at her.
Since the day of the Death of his mother, Loki has know that he only bring grief to those who's near him, only pain and shame can come to anybody that stay with him more than a few days. He already knows that Thor still love him like his brother, and since the day of Loki's staying in STARK TOWER, a month ago or so, he's been doing everything he could to make Loki comfortable and social with his friends. But things haven't worked the way the God of Thunder wanted, everybody would ignore Loki, or simply out of the way when they see him come. Or just give him some rude worlds, that he know he deserve and go away. The Avengers for other hand, were other kind, he expected them to be against him right away, but even when Banner always get out of the way most of the time he sees Loki, the God of mischief suspect that was because the Hulk want to go crazy, but Banner always nod to him before go.
Barton, for other hand, wasn't very happy and he shot him a death glare every time he see him, and storm out without a world. Natasha Romanoff , aka the Black Widow, just stared at him with a blank look, and he assume that she was think of every way she could kill him, but anyway she same as Banner nod when she see him. She never leave like his comrade do.
Tony Stark... well, he was something that Loki wasn't figure out yet, like the woman here with him, Darcy Lewis. The two of there were alike, in more ways that he threw it would be. Strak keep talking to him like he wasn't an ex-super villain that has try to take over his world and kill a lot of people. He just enter a room, and smile mischievously to Loki, and start talking nonsense and always trying to poked him every time he got with a sharp object when he was near the God. Sometimes, Loki think that Stark love to live dangerously. But the man of iron, didn't show like he hate him, but the first time Stark meet him again in the reunion that decides that Loki was staying in Midgar, he kindly point out that if Loki touch his toys of his family, he personally would kick his God Damn Ass back to Asgard. The genius was... strange in the worse case.
The Man of Time, Steve Rogers aka Captain America, wasn't pleasant for his staying, but keep quiet most of the time, but always polite.
Pepper Pots, Ironman woman, just warn him that if he try to harm Tony or the others in any way she would rip his ball and make him eat it them right away. But she like, Rogers, keep polite.
Jane Foster, was one of the few that talk to him with a tone of friendship, but that was just because of Thor and 'cause he was kinda help her to built a Rosen Einstein Bridge like she call it, Darcy just call it rainbow bridge, and he and Thor call it Bifrost. He was helping her with some information with her investigation, but that was all... he most of the time was either reading a book or seen a movie in the TV or internet in his room. Or in some case, sitting in the lunch room, reading or wondering why the petite midgardian women still talking to him the way she does.
Loki was okay with his loneliness and to stay away of the others, with occasional encounter with the Avengers, Thor or the agents working there. He actually didn't want to relate with anyone beside Thor, and even with him things were complicated. A whole life of resentment and feeling set aside by everyone but his mother, was something that he has to come along slowly and it must be that Thor see it that way too. So why would she spend time with him? Even when the others don't and he clearly didn't want company.
Darcy all never stop watching him the whole time that he was lost in his thought, wondering what could possibly he could be thinking about, and why he suddenly looks sad and more far away than ever. So she recalled his words, and she frowned
—Well, why don't you let me decide that by myself then?— she wasn't sure why she said that, but deep inside her, she knows that what he has said wasn't true.
The look in his face was priceless, the shock, confusion and vulnerability was something that she didn't expect to see in his face. But fast it has come, the fast it gone. But Darcy was sure that he was more than others see in him, and more than he himself see. Not all was bad. And she was determinate to know him and help him go out of his shell.
I hope you have like it! I try my best!
