So updating is gonna be rapid because on JUNE 18TH I am coming out with a NEW FIC. It's for X-men, mainly based in the X-men evolution universe but I did my research and inserted aspects from all X-menu universes. So I'm going to post it in the X-men evolution archive. If you're interested in reading it then I can post a link to it here. And this fic in my brain-I know what I want to happen, I just have to get the chapters written and up. so hopefully now that I have a deadline for a new big fic that might be drawn out (like this one) I can get it out because this fic is 2 years old and I don't want to make it 3 xD

Enjoy :3

Darc's POV

I wake up and feel arms around my waist-something's not right. I open my eyes and feel a pounding headache. Why do I have a hangover it's like Wednesday? I think to myself and I sit up as a whole wave of memories hit me. Steve-our date, the homeless shelter, Loki, and then Steve telling me how he felt-

"Oh my God." I mutter realizing I was naked. Please let it be Steve. I think as I look over and see Loki looking at me with an intense gaze and smiling.

"Good morning beautiful." He says smiling and taking my hand.

I snatch my hand away from his and say,

"Don't touch me." Before getting up and pulling on my underwear.

"Darcy, what's the matter?" Loki asked.

"I can't be here-I shouldn't be here." I tell him shaking my head. He has no idea what I just screwed up.

"Well, you're the one who wanted us to be here." Loki said.

"I was drunk Loki-and very drunk by the level of headache I'm having right now." I say shutting my eyes and slipping my shirt over my head. "God what did I drink?"

"Well you asked for tequila, but when he gave you a shot I distinctly remember you saying 'oh fuck that' and requesting a small glass of it. Needless to say the bartender wouldn't give you much before you asked for vodka or something like that." Loki said.

"God I must've been smashed." I say getting my pants on and turning around to see Loki-a very shirtless and very large Loki behind me.

I look up at him and he looks at me,

"Darcy I really am sorry for what I did to you and I would do anything to take it back and fix this." He says.

"Then tell me why." I say standing up.

"Why what?" He asks.

"Why you didn't just tell me the truth about why you had to leave?" I ask.

"Because it would've been more painful for you." Loki says.

"How? How could anything be more painful than the man that I-" I pause, word this very carefully. "-How could anything have been more painful than having the person that I loved the most tell me that he never loved me and that I wasted years of my life. And before you say anything, yes we began getting serious after Thor left the first time, but you had been a constant for years." I say.

"You want to know how it could be more painful?" Loki asks.

"Yes." I say.

He looks at me and says,

"I'd be locked in a cell for the rest of my life, which is thousands of years, note once would I be able to contact you or see you. I'd be completely gone from your life and no matter how much you cried out for my attention-I would never be able to give it back. And trust me I know what it's like when somebody you love is ignoring you, not giving you the attention you need. So I decided to let you go, because if I couldn't be there to love and cherish you for my life, I needed somebody who would."

I look back at him and feel myself tearing up.

"So-why are you asking me to try things with you now?" I ask taking in breaths and blinking back tears.

"Because now I can be there to love and cherish you, and I would very much like to do that. Nobody else needs to. You need me and I need you." Loki says.

After looking at him more I shake my head, I had been searching for a way to get over Loki-but the thing was I was already over him, and I didn't need him anymore. I smile and think about Steve, he may not be in love with me but hell he cared about me enough to try and make me see that I didn't need him.

"You're wrong." I say.

"What?" Loki asks.

"You're wrong, I don't need you to love me." I say.

"I'm lost." Loki says.

"I've been spending all these months trying to get over you and honestly if you came up to me and did this last month of course I'd say yes. But I don't need you to love me, because I don't need you anymore. There's somebody else who makes me feel amazing-somebody sweet and funny. Somebody who makes me laugh and accepts me for who I am. He is always polite to everybody, and he's so shy sometimes it's cute." I say. "And he may not be in love with me, but he cares about me enough to try and protect me from anything."

"Steve?" He asks.

"How did you know?" I ask surprised.

"He looks at you the same way that you used to look at me just after we got engaged. I knew that after seeing you two together just getting your attention would be a feat of magic. I'm still very much in love with you Darcy-but I want you happy more than I want you." He says.

"What does that mean?" I ask.

"Does Steve make you happy?"

"Yes, yes he does." I say nodding.

"Then go, I'll talk with the hotel desk and clean up the room. Go back to the tower, we never shared this night and be happy. If you are not happy with me go be happy with him." Loki said.

I smile and then hug him. He hugs me back and then I say,

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me." Loki says.

"You're right, I don't need to because I would've just gone back and told Steve how I felt either way." I say and Loki laughs.

"There's the Darcy I know and fell in love with-I was about to ask what happened to her." He says and I shoot him a look.

"Watch it buddy." I say before I put on my beanie, grab my purse and start out the door.

"Darcy?" He calls and I turn around.

"Tell Thor I'm ready." He says.

"I will." I say, even though I have no fucking idea what he's talking about.

I walk out of the room and into the hallway and huge wave of relief washes over me, it finally felt like I had proper closure with Loki. His door was closed, so now that Steve's was open I wanted to go and see what Steve had to offer. Who knows, maybe it'll end up being better than Loki ever was.

Jane's POV

I sit in the lab fiddling with some of the new machines that Tony had installed before they had been called away. Some of these things were actually pretty cool.

"JANE!" I hear somebody call.

"What?" I ask turning around to see Darcy-who looked freshly showered in her leggings and baggy t-shirt

"A-everybody's out on a mission you don't need to be in here and B-Steve told me he had feelings for me and I freaked out and slept with Loki." Darcy says.

I look at her,

"What?" I ask.

"Okay well so Steve and I were at the homeless shelter doing the SHIELD thing and I ran into Loki on my way to the bathroom-"

"Wait Loki's at the shelter? And he won't take Thor's help?" Jane asks.

"I'm getting to that part-anyway so we started talking and I wanted to you know get together to catch up with him but Steve came and got all protective and I told him to fuck off-just not in those exact words. And he told me that he wouldn't because while I may see what we have, or had, he felt himself falling for me and he essentially told me that he loved me for who I am." Darcy says .

I look at her and smile,

"That's great-but then why did you sleep with Loki?" I ask her.

"Well, I kind of freaked out and left and then met up with Loki at a bar and we both got blasted and rented a hotel room for the night and did-things." She says.

"Okay-so are you two back together?" I ask.

"No, I mean I woke up and when he told me why he did what he did-to spare me the pain of having him locked up in a cell for thousands of years without being able to ever see him again-since that was his original punishment-I felt nothing." Darcy says smiling.

"Nothing?" I ask.

"Nothing, I mean of course I was relieved. But I didn't feel anything towards him, I'm completely over him!" Darcy says.

"Okay, so how does him being in the shelter play into this?" I ask.

"He doesn't want your help. He says that if he is supposed to find his own place here and build himself a life then he should do it on his own. I guess it's just pride." Darcy says

I nod and then say,

"So what are you going to do?" I ask her.

"I don't know. I don't want to tell Steve but if I don't he'll find out on his own and I don't want that to happen because then he'll hate me even more than he probably already does." She says.

"Well are you telling him?" I ask.

"I don't know." She says.

"Well just know, that he's going to be hurt, either way, just one might hurt more than the other." I say.

She nods as JARVIS'S voice comes on over the intercom.

"Dr. Foster and Miss. Lewis, I was told by Master Stark to inform you that they will be landing on the roof shortly and to have a medical team ready." JARVIS says.

"Medical team?" I ask.

"Yes, I do not know the details just that Mr. Rogers and Miss. Romanoff need a medical team on sight." JARVIS says.

"Yeah, Darcy go meet them on the roof with the Medical team and I'll get the food ready?" I ask.

"Jane you can't cook to save your life. I'll go get the food and tell the housekeeping staff to make sure every room is loaded with towels, washcloths and all sorts of soap. While you go meet them the roof with the medical team." She says.

"Okay, that sounds fair-just remember to not drive the professional chefs out of the kitchen." I tell her, remembering the last time when Tony had to hire a new chef.

"If they get in the way of me making the comfort food then I will." She says as she leaves.

I sigh and then say,

"JARVIS, don't let her run away from Steve forever okay? And alert the medical team for me?"

"As you wish Miss. Foster." JARVIS says

I get up and then head off to goto the roof.

Steve's POV

I wake up and feel lightheaded.

"Oh thank God!" I hear a voice before I feel arms around me.

"Hm?" I ask sitting up and then letting out a small cry of pain, placing my hand on my gut-finding no bar.

"Steve it's me, don't try to sit up too quickly. You lost a shit ton of blood while they were operating on you."

"Darcy?" I ask.

"Who else?" Darcy asks taking my hand.

"But, you're mad at me-" I begin but she cuts me off.

"No I'm not. I never was, I was just kind of got overwhelmed. I mean you kind of just said that you were in love with me out of the blue." She says.

I smile and move a strand of hair out of her face.

"Did you mean it?" She asks.

"Of course I did doll." I say smiling.

"Well good, because I've been thinking and-" She pauses and then smiles. "I think that I'm in love with you too."

I smile at her and pat the hospital bed next to me and she climbs on next to me. I gently put an arm around her, my side only stinging slightly.

"Why would you think I was mad at you?" She asks.

"Well-I don't usually get jealous and when I saw you with Loki. I got very jealous, I mean you were talking with a guy who broke your heart and mislead you for years. I also felt like I needed to protect you from him, because I didn't want you getting hurt by him." I tell her honestly.

Darcy smiles and then says,

"I wasn't mad, just shocked." Before turning up to me and saying, "I didn't want to go out with Loki again-I just wanted closure as to why he didn't just tell me the truth and he said it and I don't forgive him for breaking my heart. But I understand his actions."

"Why?" I ask.

"Well his original punishment was to be locked up in a cell for thousands of years. And he wanted to let me go-because I was very much in love with him when he was found so I'd insist on waiting for him and I would have. I would have waited every single day of my life for him to come back. He knew I would do that too, so instead he thought that making himself a monster in my eyes would force me to get over him and leave-move onto somebody else. Which I did." Darcy says.

I smile and kiss the top of her head before closing my eyes and letting out a deep sigh.

"You scared me Steve, you blacked out on the roof and you almost died during surgery. The serum wasn't doing you any favors." She says.

"Well I'm here now." I say. And I'm not leaving ever again. I think to myself as I see her close her eyes.
