I DO NOT own Marvel or the Avengers

"You know you're being dumb right?"

"I am not."

"Loki." She said. "You are."

"Where exactly and you getting your information, Darcy?" Loki asked, shooting Darcy a look.

"I don't need a source to tell you you're being stupid." Darcy shoots back. "Your parents love you, your brother just wants you to be happy, and Jane isn't ever going to love you the way you want her to. She's in love with Thor. Get it through that thick head of yours."

Loki sighed, turning away from the brunette. "What don't you get about this?"

"Apparently everything."

He shouldn't have to explain this to her. Again. He'd already told her several times what the situation was. He didn't want to do it agian, but here he was.

"Ever since we were children, Thor's been the favorite." He started. He always started it this way. "In hindsight, i should've seen it sooner. They favored him because he was their child by blood. I was adopted. It wasn't out of love either, it was out of pity. My parents were killed, and they couldn't stand to see a baby left to die."

Darcy Lewis had heard this so many times, she could recite it along with him. She just... She enjoyed the time they spent together, loved hearing his voice. Even if he was talking about how in love he was with Jane Foster, Darcy's bestfriend, or how everything in his life sucked. She had to hear him talk.

"He's always had the support. No matter what he wanted to do, he's been able to do it." Loki says, and she hears the familiar emotion in his voice. Bitterness. "Everything he's ever wanted he's gotten. Even her. Jane Foster."

And when he says "The girl I love." Darcy mouthed the words right along with him, changing 'girl' to 'boy'. He wasn't looking at her, so he wouldn't see.

"So, what you're saying is," She said, causing him to turn towards her. "You have to get some sort of revenge?"

"If you knew that, why did you ask me to tell you?"

"Good story, I guess."

Loki just shook his head. "Want to go grab a coke with me?" He asked.

"Sure." Darcy agreed.

(This represents a Point of View change!)

The little bell on the door jingled when Bruce pushed it open, stepping into the warmth of the coffee shop. It was the same little place that was special to Tony and Pepper, and Bruce wouldn't have even come in here if he hadn't been up all night last night. He was acctually on his way to the library, but he needed caffine. He'd been working with a colleague of his dad's on gamma radiation. It was something he wanted to study when he finally got out of high school, so he jumped at the opprotunity to work on it.

He tugged off his gloves, tucking them in his coat pockets as he made his way to the line at the counter. He waited behind a terribly adorable older couple. They were telling the cashier how they'd been together for fifty-two years, and how it wouldn't last too much longer, because he had cancer and only had a few years left. It brought tears to Bruce's eyes. When they had sat down, Bruce stepped up to the counter, ordering a caramel macchiato with whipped cream and paying. He then went over to a table by the window to wait.

After a few minutes, a brunette waitress came over to where he was sitting.

"Caramel macchiato?" She questioned, and for a second he couldn't find his voice to say yes.

"Um, y-yes, thank you." He stuttered.

"No problem," she said. "Hey, um, don't you... Don't you go to Shield high?"

"I do." Bruce answered.

"I thought I saw you there last week." She said with a smile. "I just moved here a week ago and started school there. It's my senior year."

"Mine too." Bruce returned her smile.

"Awesome!" She said. "Oh, by the way, I'm Betty Ross."

"Bruce Banner."

She was about to say something else, but a voice from the back stopped her.

"Betty! Come here please!"

She sighed.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow, Bruce." She smiled again, then rushed off to help whoever needed her. Bruce took his coffee, and headed out the door, a blush on his face. He had a feeling that Betty Ross was going to be on his mind a lot...
