Darcy opened the bathroom room door quickly and went in and close it behind her. So that way Thor or Jane won't walk in on them and they find them selves having a long night for both of them. Which Darcy' s all the sudden panicking behavior towards their current guest's current visit causes Loki to be confused and before he could ask Darcy what was going on. Darcy began to answer and it was a fast explanation that Loki surprisingly gotten all the details in that quick and hard to understand a word explanation. Now once Loki got all the info,even himself is getting nervous. Though it's not likely that either Thor or Jane would go to the bathroom now. Since they now thinks that the bathroom is being repaired and they can't go use it even if they need to go. But won't they get suspicious if Loki accidentally make some sort of noise that doesn't sound like someone trying to fix a bathroom and something that they're really curious enough to go to the bathroom to investigate and find an alive Loki hiding in the bathroom.
"What are we going to do?!" Panicked Darcy as quietly as she can, but she's still freaking out and ready to start yelling the problem out loud. But can't since Thor and Jane will hear them and it might lead to both of them never living it down.
"How about this?" said Loki instantly coming up with an idea "How about I get out of here before anything can happen?" Which now Darcy is unsure about that idea, since Loki has only been here for two days and if he gets lost in London. Then Darcy will never forgive herself and couldn't even figure out how on earth she can find him before someone else figures out that Loki is in London wandering around or how she could manage to find him without any sort of help from the police or her friends. Since if they knew that Loki is loose in London, then they'll call Sheild,the Avengers will get invove, Thor could go back to Asgard and tell everyone what's going on and get guards to help them in the search and basically litteraly the whole world will be searching for Loki ready to put up a fight with him for absolutely nothing. Which Darcy didn't knew who would be the most angrier with her, Loki or the Avengers,Sheild or just everyone in Asgard and Earth. But not to mention how is Darcy going to get Loki out of the apartment without Thor or Jane noticing. She can think of many ways that sneaking Loki out might fail and who knows what might happen next.
"I don't know Loki." Said Darcy nervously and afraid of how her new roommate would react towards her worrying and she saying no to him "we might have a bigger problem on our hands if you just walked out to the streets of London just like that at night. Especially since I have no way of contacting you, which would come in handy when it comes to telling you to come back after Thor and Jane leaves. Plus you might get recongnize or get yourself lost in the city."
"Yes I am aware of the possible consequences." Said Loki "But it might be the only way for their surprise visit to go well and I don't think they would believe that someone could repairable time to repair a bathroom that long."
"Yeah you got me there." Said Darcy admitingly "But still who knows what else might happen? Since you might get spotted or Both Thor and Jane will have to see you go out of-"
"They won't. Have you already forgotten who you are now living with and now currently talking to?" Said Loki "I can create a allusion of myself of someone you, my brother and Jane knows and they wouldn't be surprise to see this person with you or nearby this building. So do you know someone like that?"
"You know that just might work. Plus to avoid any interaction/suspicion from both Thor and Jane, you can go down the fire escape. Which is outside my window in my room" Said Darcy "Then they might not suspect a thing-"
"Are you going to answer my question or not?" asked Loki annoyed and already growing impatient and ready to get on to business.
"Sorry about that." said Darcy calmly after finally being relief of her roommate's good idea and this problem could get resolved without anyone finding out about Loki. "Yes I happen to know someone like that. I've forgotten to tell you that I might not be around so often because I'm going out with him. He's my boyfriend and his name is Ian and we've been working together for a while and during the dark elf invasion. We been helping those two over there and Erik (you know that old guy you tried to mind control which you did. When you tried to take over New York). But any who back to the the explanation, so sometime during the battle he asks me out and-"
"Ok I get it you're so enamored by this guy." said Loki exasperated by Darcy's long how Ian and herself fell in love. "Can we just focus on the problem at hand before we write a book about your romance?"
"Come on Loki, I'm sure you can take a little bit of romance too if your not too busy either taking over the world or hiding from it." said Darcy a little defensibly. "I bet you never even exespirence any sorts of feelings towards someone."
"Probley because I don't need too Darcy." said Loki in imediate defense "Since I have many other important things to worry about and not to mention it's a waste of time. especially for me" which for the last part ended in a mumble that Loki doubts anyone would understand. Since it seems that Loki knew already that no one would ever seem to want to get to know him or would even love him. Especially after what he done and what he's biologically is.
"Anyway what does this Ian look like?" Asked Loki instantly ready to get out of the apartment and go out for a walk at night. "And don't even think about saying something that you would say to describe someone is good looking." Which Darcy quickly described Ian as fast as she could. Then the two checked if the coast is clear and quickly went to the bedroom and Darcy opened the window for Loki to climb out after he make his allusion of Ian. Which Loki quickly did and went out the window.
"Wow, Thor wasn't exaggerating when he said that your allusions are so realistic." said Darcy instantly amazed by her roommate's ability to make allusions "I mean it looks pretty cool."
"Thank you I think." said Loki not knowing what she meant by what he assume is a compliment. "Well I guess I should get down in order to avoid those two seeing me on this balcony like platform. How do I do that?" Which Darcy quickly explain how to get down from a fire escape and to watch out for the ladder in the last platform. Once Darcy finished explaining, Loki began going down carefully since the last thing he wants is to fall off the fire escape.
While Loki was carefully climbing down the fire escape, Darcy went back to Thor and Jane. Since if she suddenly disappear in the bathroom then they might want to investigate and find Loki disguised as Ian on the fire escape. But then again, they already know that Ian is her boyfriend. But Loki Doesn't know how Ian usually acts! What is she going to do?! She can't just go down and catch Loki before going down the final platform and telling hime everything he needs to know on how to act like Ian in order to not get either Thor or Jane or worse both suspicious. But then again who knows maybe Loki will be as quiet as a mouse still and they wouldn't need to get this entire world to help them figure out why is Ian acting so strangely and it might not end well.
Soon Darcy headed back to the living room completely unsure if she did the right thing by letting Loki go into the streets of London at this hour. But then again she knew that Loki could take care of himself. So she might have nothing to worry about and probley freaking out about nothing. So maybe there really is nothing to worry about after all. Now all she have to do is to act casual and maybe just maybe Thor and Jane won't suspect a thing on what's going on at the moment.
"Hey guys I'm back and everything is fine with the bathroom." said Darcy as she makes her entrence back to the living room "The plumber is almost done fixing it and might be done in the next 48 hours as long as there no more problems with the pipes in the next couple of hours."
"Well that's good to hear Darcy." said Jane immediately after hearing the news/lie her friend just told them "Hopefuly it will get better and-" before she could finish her sentence. Then the three of them heard a sound of something falling from one of the apartments and it sounded like a fire escape ladder falling to the ground. But fortunately for Loki the ladder is attached to the platform. But unfortunately for Loki, that the three of them heard it fell and now Darcy is blaming herself for not going with him and lowering it herself or at least telling him how.
"What was that?"Asked Thor out loud trying to figure out what made that noise.
"What was what?" Said Darcy trying as best she could to hide the sound of a fallen metal ladder that was heard by obviously everyone in the neighborhood. But she needed to act like Loki Isn't there and be sure to keep the secret and act causel.
"That noise that just crashed from outside." Answered Jane pointing out the obvious fact of the current situation. Which Darcy now knew she have to distract them and quick before they look out the window. But then again Loki is Ian right now, so it's nothing to worry about. Unless they try to speak to him and Loki acting nothing at all like Ian. But then again he's good at deception and constantly managed to fool everyone. But then again what if Loki surprisingly fail? There's always a first time for everything right? But she highly doubts that they might find out about Loki and if they have to interact and he fails at acting. But you can never be too careful can you?
"I'm sure it's nothing." said Darcy hastily "I mean it's probley something that really isn't much of a big deal." Which both Thor and Jane didn't buy it, they can already guess that what ever made that crash is the reason why for Darcy's weird behavior. They are determined to find out whatever it might be that Darcy might be hiding.
The two went towards where the sound may be coming from, ready for a fight if nessicary. Which Darcy is trying to distract them and taking their focus away from Loki's unintentional they were unfortunately ingnoring all of her attempts and kept on going towards the window of where the fire escape and possibly Loki disguised as Ian might still be waiting for them to be discovered. She just hopes that Loki knows how to improvise and good at doing it. Once they arrived at the window, Darcy knew that she should act quick before there's a awkward situation between the four of them.
"I believe that it must have came from what's outside this window." said Thor pointing towards Darcy's closed bedroom window "I think that I should be the one to go outside and get on your balcony and investigate. While you two stay here, just in case it's dangerous."
"Thor I'm sure it's nothing." Said Darcy trying to lure them away from the window "Let us all go back to the living room and talk about... stuff"
"But it might still be wise to double check." Said Thor "Since after the invasion you never know what might be out there. Probley some dark elves that we might have missed." Which Darcy turns to Jane confused by the Asgardian's statement.
"We had to face a couple of stragglers of the dark elf invasion that we missed durring the battle." Jane explained to her friend hastily "So we have to face a couple of them before calling you that we're coming over."
"Well that's good to know." Said Darcy "But still I'm sure it's probably nothing and we're all just overreacting about nothing-" But before Darcy could say anything more, Thor already went out the window onto the platform of the fire escape and began to look around for where the sound might be.
"What are you doing down there?" Demanded Thor "and why did you drop the ladder down like that and alarming this entire area?" Oh no thought Darcy it's looks like we're going to get caught in the act and at any moment Thor going to discover his brother. I guess it's time to come clean.
"Thor let me explain it's not what you think-" began Darcy already knowing what Thor might be thinking or figuring out. But before she could say anything, Thor interjected her by asking Darcy a question.
"Is that why you didn't' want us to come over?" Asked Thor to her "You two were on a date and we intruded you while you were on it? I can't believe that you all of people would cause a disturbance like this!" Which Darcy is now surprised and relieved that Thor didn't find out that his brother was right in front of him. But before she could say anything Loki took over.
"Yes you got that one right." Said Loki disguised as Ian "I was on a date with Darcy this evening."
"That's right he was." Added Darcy agreeingly and relieve that Thor was able to find an excuse that the both of them could use for their own advantage.
"We were just hanging out and enjoying each other's company." Said Loki trying to make up a story and sound like a midgaurdian as well "But when Jane called then she ask me to leave because she's afraid that if I was around then I might have made the situation awkward or accidentally ruin the whole visit that you two are paying right now. Plus I had something to do at home as well and I didn't want to disturb you all and Darcy understands my reasoning so she let me go down by the balcony- I mean fire escape." Which the two began to look at each other nervously and then towards Thor and Jane. Not even sure if the two believe them or not. But two minutes pass until they got their answer from Thor and Jane. Which both of them are relieve that it was something that they would actually want to hear.
"It's fine Darcy." said Jane believing both her friend and little did she know Loki "I understand, since it's partauly our fault to intrude you in such short notice like that. So sorry about that by the way."
"It's ok Jane I understand you guys wanted to check on me and all that stuff which is completely reasonable and all that." said Darcy trying to rush the situation it self "I'm sure Ian is right now eager to get home right now to do whatever he needs to do. So let's just let him go now already alright?"
"Yeah I believe that it would make sense." said Thor "Since we don't want to waste your love life's time any longer then we had. I'm sorry for my sudden outburst. You can never be too careful."
"Look it doesn't matter now Thor, it was just a honest mistake." said Loki hastily and now thinking what Thor just did is nothing compared to what I did. If only he knew it's me. Now Loki knows that he must make his exit and must make it now. "I better get going, so nice to see you all and goodbye." Which Loki ran away from the scene as fast as he can,leaving Darcy to deal with the current situation.
"So do you guys want to have something right now or not?" asked Darcy trying to distract them from what just happened and Loki in disguised. Maybe things will work out after all.
Meanwhile in the other side of town
Loki decided to just have a walk around the town, in order to get to know his way around London. Since he figured that now he's going to live on Earth, he might as well get to know it. At least for this city, since Loki now lives here and could get lost if he doesn't know his way around town with or without Darcy being around. Since he now has a lot to think about towards his actions in the past and just today in general. Since a lot has changed in him, in less then a week since Thor came to his cell and offered a chance for revenge on the dark elves. Then discovering the truth that the remainder of his family actually caring after Loki mislead everyone with his "death". Then meeting Darcy and unintentionally saving all those people from the dark elves and the jewery store robbery a couple hours ago. Which led him to remember all the evil things that he did in the past and all the things he did to hurt people (especially Thor). For what? Just because he's too upset to find out he been misled and didn't know about him being adopted and not only that a frost giant and let's not get started on his jealousy towards his brother just because Thor's heir to the thrown and is his father's favorite. Loki also bet if he went to New York or Germany right now then there would be a angry mob waiting for him and also ready to give him a piece of his mind for what happened in the past. Which Loki now secretly wish that he could go back through time and undo everything he did in the past and make it up to everyone especially to the people he hurts the most in his rampage.
But before Loki could reflect any further the next thing he knew to his surprise was that he was starting to get surrounded by some of his former Chitauri minions are now surrounding him waiting/planning to make their first move.
What's Loki going to? Now that the Chitauri found him and ready to make Loki pay the price of failing with Thanos possibly ready to make sure to end Loki once and for all. Find out in the next chapter of Redemption. Also special thanks for Evelynn Mackey and Hackline83 (Loki desguing as Ian) for suggest and letting me use their ideas for the story. See ya in the next update readers.
