Chapter Ten:
Slowly Darcy started to become conscious in the dimly lit room. Once she opened her eyes, she saw nothing but a measly little henchman guarding her while reading on his kindle. Asshole she thought. Where was she? Who had taken her? What did they want? Darcy wiggled but realized she was tied to a chair tightly. She tried to calm herself. She worked with the most dangerous group of people on the planet. She would be found. In fact, they were probably already looking for her. But what did these people want with her? What was their angle?
"Hey! You! Yeah, you! Stop reading The fucking Notebook and come here." she said, flailing her limbs trying to get the guys attention. He grunted and got up to walk towards her.
"Sure sweetie. What do you want, some water? Too bad." he snarled.
"Why am I here? What do you want with me?" Darcy growled.
"You're the scientist, Foster. Figure it out." he said with a scoff before walking back to his chair and resuming his reading.
Shit she thought. They somehow got the impression that Darcy was Jane. Darcy had nothing to offer them; once they find out she's not Jane, they'll kill her without a second thought. All she could do was wait until they figured out who she was. Darcy hated that; feeling powerless. She wasn't even smart like Jane. She tried to fiddle with her hand binds to no prevail. She was caught alright.
Steve couldn't sleep. He couldn't rest. He couldn't even eat well knowing that Darcy was in danger somewhere. S.H.I.E.L.D. was looking for her everywhere at every second, but Steve knew that wouldn't be good enough. Yet there was nothing he could do. Moonstone could be hidden anywhere in the world and it could take them weeks to find out. Darcy could be badly hurt by then, or worse... Steve couldn't manage to think that, slowly shaking his head and getting out of bed to go to the kitchen.
"Morning, moody. Rough night?" Tony asked, sitting and eating while reading the paper. Steve nodded his head. "Wow. You must really like the kid. I mean, she's a good kid. Reminds me a bit of myself." he said with an eyebrow raise and slight smirk.
"She's not a kid. She's in danger and we're sitting on our asses staring at walls. We need to find a way to locate her." Steve said in a low voice.
"Yeah, yeah, I feel you. Look, let's go bust into SHIELD and hold Fury at gunpoint until he finds her." Tony said sarcastically.
"It's not a joke. Her life is on the line here." Steve said sternly. "She's innocent."
"She knew what she was signing up for when she agreed to work for Jane here. Besides, I think Darcy can handle herself." Tony said giving Steve a look.
"We can barely handle Moonstone. What makes you think she can?" Steve asked, growing angry.
"I don't know. But I have a little faith in her." Tony shrugged. "We'll find her."
"Sir, commander Fury is on the line." JARVIS said. Tony gave Steve a look.
"Answer." he said. "Yes, hi Fury. I hope you have good news. Our Capsicle hasn't had a great night." Steve frowned at him.
"We have got a relative location on Lewis. She's somewhere in southern Sweden. The quinjet will be at the tower to pick you guys up shortly. Wake the others. Avengers assemble." Fury said, before hanging up.
"Well, there you go Cap. Let's go rescue your little friend." Tony said, getting up from the table and walking away.
