Loki's Point of View
These mortals are pathetic. Loki thought for the fifth time that day. Since he could not say it out loud anymore because of the ridiculous deal he had made with Darcy, he had taken to thinking it as much as he could instead. Not that he had any obligation to keep a deal with anyone, let alone a mortal, but because of Thor, he would keep this deal. And he hated to admit it, but this 'game' he and Darcy were playing was fun. Everyday Thor grew more impatient to know why he was being so kind, but he would never ask. On many occasions Thor had almost confronted him, but he had always walked off before completing his train of thought.
Being stranded on Midgard and being without his magic he could not cause much mischief, so he cherished any opportunity to cause some, even if it just affected Thor and the idiotic mortal, Jane. At the moment said mortal was curled up beside Thor on the sofa. Loki was sat on the other sofa trying to focus on the television and the movie with a ridiculous plot line. A mammoth, a sloth and a Saber-toothed tiger trying to return a mortal baby to its 'heard'.
"I have finally thought of who you two remind me of" Darcy announced loudly as she walked into the room. She was pointing at Thor and Jane.
"Who?" they asked in unison.
"Tarzan and Jane, and it's even better cause your name is Jane" she replied, as she jumped onto the other end of the sofa.
"What?" Jane questioned. "Seriously?"
"Who are Tarzan and Jane?" Thor asked quietly.
"Characters from a book, the book was later turned into many different film adaptions until it was turned into a Disney film" Jane explained.
"You guys seriously remind me of them" she paused then continued "I would obviously be the professor, with all his nuttiness" she then turned to Loki and said grimly "you would sooo be Clayton"
"Pray tell, who is this Clayton?" he asked in a bored voice, but in truth, he was honestly curious, he would never admit that though.
"He is the guy who tries to capture all the gorillas" she shook her head and looked towards the television screen. "Oooh Ice Age, I love this film."
A man who tries to capture all the gorillas, what in all of Valhalla was she talking about. Midgard was indeed a strange place, maybe he did not want to rule such a place after all. While being on Midgard he had already heard of many strange things, for example a film called ratatouille, it was about a cooking rat. He looked to his left to see Darcy taking her glasses off and cleaning them on her shirt.
"What lovely glasses you have Darcy" he said with as much kindness as possible. Thor's head snapped up quickly and he studied him. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Loki questioned. Beside him, Darcy covered a giggle with a cough.
"Nothing" Thor said slowly. Thor looked at Jane and they gave each other the same look they had been sharing for weeks now, one of utter confusion and cluelessness.
"Something wrong?" Darcy asked them both, with an expression of her own faked confusion and curiosity. Loki must admit Darcy was a good actress when she wanted to be. The confusion on her face looked very real. Jane turned and stared at her incredulously. Loki had to hold in a laugh, he hadn't felt the urge to laugh genuinely for a while, and the one time he did, he couldn't.
"No, nothing" Jane replied as she turned her concentration back to the movie called Ice Age. Out of the corner of his eye, Loki saw Darcy bit her lip to hold back another laugh.
After ten minutes or so Darcy broke the silence as she stood up "Well no matter how much I love Ice Age, I'm going for a walk because i need air"
"Pick up some milk" Jane said.
"Yes sir" Darcy saluted. "Anything else?"
"A world free of adverts" Jane sighed as she stared at the commercial playing on the television.
"I wish" Darcy muttered as she shook her hair out of face and started towards the door.
"Take care" Loki called after her. All he heard in reply was hysterical laughter until the door shut.
"They are definitely scheming" Loki heard Thor whisper as quietly as he could to Jane, which wasn't actually all that quiet. "And by the sound of her laughter, I think Darcy has gone insane." Jane just burst out laughing.
Darcy's Point of View
The deal with Loki was so hilarious. Loki actually complemented her on her glasses. I mean, HER GLASSES. Soon it would be on her fingers or her nail cuticles or something strange and ridiculous like that. Darcy hated to admit it but Loki wasn't entirely that bad when he wasn't trying to enslave or destroy things, although she doubted he would be the same if he still had his magic. The only reason S.H.E.I.L.D left them mostly alone was because he was pretty much powerless, and of course because of Thor. Darcy was so relieved that S.H.E.I.L.D wasn't all that concerned because she didn't think she would be able to handle agents popping round every now and then… but saying that, one of the agents named Alistair was one hot guy, not as hot as Loki though.
"Shit, I did NOT just think that" Darcy muttered to herself. Actually never mind … she DID just think that and it was true. Loki was hot, I mean kind of scary but still…hot. She was single, why couldn't she think that. Because he was a killer, that's why. But that didn't stop him from being eye candy. She sighed in utter frustration with herself, she was internally arguing with herself, again. It happened a lot, but a lot more recently. Darcy was so busy thinking, that she didn't notice the post in front of her until it was too late. She smacked straight into it. "FUCK, that's gonna bruise' she muttered quietly as she rubbed her forehead.
Darcy walked to the shop and got the milk for Jane as quickly as she could, she had a bad headache forming and because of that she decided not to go for her walk. Stupid post!
As she walked in the door of the house she called out "I have the milk, a bruise, a headache and maybe concussion but alas I could do nothing about commercials"
"A bruise, a headache and concussion?" Jane questioned worriedly, coming out of the front room to see her.
"Yup' she replied, smacking her lips together on the P for emphasis.
"How?"
"I walked into a post" she smiled. "I am so unbelievably clever, am I not?"
"You are" Jane laughed before walking back into where she came from.
Darcy walked into the kitchen to put the milk away. Loki was stood pouring himself a drink, which was really unusual because he usually made other people do it for him. Thor must have refused this time.
"I heard something about concussion, are you alright?" He asked.
"Wow, there is no one else around and you actually sound concerned" she commented.
"Maybe I am concerned"
"Huh" she shook her head as she rummaged around in the drawer for some pain killers. "Concerned about a 'mortal'?" she said questioningly.
"Well, for a mortal you are not that bad". He said casually. Darcy's heart gave a stutter at his words and she opened her mouth to reply but words failed her, so she just continued rummaging in the drawer.
"TA DAH" She proclaimed loudly as she held up the little box of tablets. Darcy went to the cupboard and got a glass and filled it with water.
"How did you come upon your injury?"
"I walked into a post"
Loki actually laughed and it was genuine, damn he had a nice laugh. Holy shit Darcy, you did not think that. You are NOT developing a slight crush on this guy, well this trickster God. Thinking he was hot, she could deal with, but this was a ginormous NO. "You walked into a post" he repeated amused.
"Yup, I need to start paying attention to my surroundings, instead of thinking too much"
"I think that would be wise" he stated.
"So do I" she replied. "But I doubt that will happen, I have always thought too much and I always will, but I never think about the decisions I make until it's too late. It's just one of the perks of being Darcy."
"I am sure you cannot be as bad as me in not thinking through decisions"
"I'm not going to deny that" she replied.
"I didn't have any doubt that you would" He pointed out. In this second Loki suddenly seemed different. He seemed nicer and like a normal person and not some God bent on destruction, there was no one else and around and he seemed to be coming out of his sarcastic, mischievous shell.
"Why?" Darcy suddenly asked, taking advantage of his unusual mood. "Why did you want to take over earth, I mean, as a native of this planet I am admitting that it can be an awful place." She didn't think he would answer, or if he did she thought he would make it sarcastic but she was wrong.
"I wanted to be adored. I wanted to be better than Thor. And the tesseracts power allowed me to do so. I wanted-" he paused before he continued. "I don't know what I wanted" He stopped suddenly, aware that he was speaking his thoughts. "Why am I telling you this?" he snapped.
She shrugged. "I'm not sure" she answered honestly. "Maybe you needed to talk about it" she suggested.
"I am a god, I do not need counselling!" He snapped loudly, suddenly angry.
"Dude chill" Darcy raised her hands. And Loki took a breath.
"I am sorry. Forget you heard any of that" he said before turning away and walking quickly out of the kitchen to his room.
"What actually just happened?" she asked out loud to herself before walking down the hall to her own room.
LONGEST CHAPTER YET!
