Chapter 2

"Oh my god." Darcy breathed, trying not to hyperventilate as she took hold of Thor's hammer. "I'm going to see him again."

There was a blinding flash of light, and suddenly she was in a very techy room, surrounded by people. "So, Thor, who'd you bring this time?" A vaguely familiar voice said. The girl turned around and gasped. It was Bruce. Everything faded out until it was just him and her. "... Hi, Bruce." Darcy said, and Bruce turned around slowly. "D...Darcy?" He asked, very slowly and unsurely. On the verge of tears, Darcy grinned. "I- I thought you said you'd never call me that."

This time it was Banner who grinned. "Larcy."

Somehow, in the next few moments, they ended up in each others arms, completely oblivious to the presence of the others in the room. They just clung on, and didn't let go for a while. When they did let go, they simply grinned at each other. "H-How'd you find me?" Bruce stuttered, completely flustered now that he was aware of his friends grinning like crazy. "Well, when you look on the TV and see your old... friend, I don't know- on TV saying he can turn into an uncontrollable green monster, it's kind of hard not to find you."

"So! Brucey found a girlfriend!" Tony almost yelled in a singsongy voice. The scientist felt his cheeks turn red. "I- I don't-"

Darcy stepped in for him, relieving his stress. "Hell yes he does! And it's me! Anyone got any questions?" Tony raised his hand. "Yeah. Just one. Um, who are you?"

The young woman (who was grasping Bruce's hand), rolled her eyes. "I'm Darcy Lewis. And Bruce and I met several years ago, we never got our second date, I made a promise. There. Enough said." She could practically hear her boyfriend- wow, boyfriend- grin behind her. Tony just rolled his eyes and laughed. "Ah. A fiesty one. I wonder how you ended up with Bruce and not me?" He wiggled is eyebrows at her, and somehow that enfuriated her. "Shut up. At least Bruce deserves me." Darcy seethed, and Tony took a step back. "Woah there. Don't get too fiesty. I just wondered why a socially awkward genius like him would date a fiesty bi-" He was interrupted by the girl, who had slapped him in the face mid-sentence.

Silence. Darcy turned back to see the rest of the Avengers struggling to hold Bruce back from Tony as well. "S-Sorry, I don't know what- oh who am I kidding? I don't care, I meant to slap him." Darcy shrugged, and Bruce grinned and seemed to calm down a bit.

"Well then. Bruce, you've got yourself a mean one." The billionaire grumbled, feeling his now red face. All of the rest of the superheroes where stifling their laughter, and Darcy turned to Bruce. "So... shall we go on that date now?" She asked, and Dr. Banner looked around. "Well, I was kinda in the middle of some-" He began, and the girl grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Good! Let's go!" She said, and Banner sighed. This is going to be an interesting day.
