Chapter 11

Hey people! So, I'm going to try and finish this story before updating any of my other stories, so be patient with them. I hope you enjoy the chapter and are having a very awesome 2015.

Darcy and Loki had gone back to the apartment and had found a note on the kitchen table.

'Gone out for a drink with Dr. Selvig. Be back soon.

Sincerely,

-Thor'

"Where's Jane?" Darcy asked. She looked around and saw Jane come out of her room. Loki dived behind the kitchen counter.

"Oh, hey!" Jane said as she began playing with her shoes.

"What are you doing there?" Darcy asked. 'Please say you're leaving. Come on, for Thor's sake! Leave woman!' Darcy thought to herself.

"I was about to put on some comfy clothes and hang out on the couch." Jane replied. Dammit, whenever Darcy actually is going to HAVE sex with a God, Jane has to be all 'Oh, I'm just going to hang out' Damn you, Karma!

"Really? 'Cause, I saw that there were some really good deals on Avenger themed baby outfits at that one store downtown." Darcy said as she gave Jane her coat.

"Really?" Jane replied as Darcy helped her put her coat on.

"Yep, and the candy store 'Sweetly Yours' was having a buy one get one free of your favorite box of candy." Darcy lied as she handed Jane a beanie.

"Oh, then I might just have to visit that store." Jane said.

"Yep, you do that." Darcy said as she sort of shoved Jane out the door. She closed it behind her and breathed a sigh of relief. Loki got up from behind the kitchen counter and walked over to her.

"That was a close one-"

"Shut-up." Darcy replied and kissed him. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He placed her on the counter and began running his fingers threw her hair. She began opening the buttons on his shirt and eventually pulled it off of him. They both began taking off their clothes as they walked towards the bedroom. By the time they reached the bed, Loki was taking his pants off, and Darcy was in her bra and panties.

"Holy hell." She said.

"First time with a god?" He asked.

"First time with a mortal?" She replied as she kissed his lips. And so, the night began.

Loki woke up the next morning with his arm draped over Darcy's naked body. Dammit, why did he have to fall in love? He began putting on his pants, when he felt Darcy turn around to face him.

"Hey." She said. He looked at her and smiled.

"Hey." He replied as he walked over to her side of the bed and kissed her on the lips.

"Last night was... wow!" Darcy said as she ran her fingers threw her hair.

"Yeah." He replied as he looked at her face. Her hair was tussled and she had a sort of vibrance to herself. "I'm going to make some breakfast. Do you want anything in particular?" He asked.

"No thanks. Um, last night before everything had happened, you said that you wanted to tell me something. So," Darcy raised her eyebrows. "What did you want to tell me?" Darcy asked. Loki sighed as he threw on his shirt. He felt guilty for not telling Darcy about the Frost Giants, but he had to tell everyone. Including, Thor. The Frost Giants plan would act in a matter of days and he needed to stop them. He looked at Darcy's confused eyes and smiled sadly.

"I can't exactly avoid it now," He said to himself. Darcy continue to gaze at him in a confused manner. "Meet me in the living room once you're dressed." He finished and left her laying there. He walked in to find Thor and Jane relaxing on the couch. He quickly changed into his Brad form as Eric walked through the front door.

"Good morning, everyone." Eric said as he set down a cup of coffee on the kitchen counter. Loki replied with a nod of his head, meanwhile Thor and Jane said a polite 'hello.' Darcy soon walked in wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

"Can I talk to you all for a minute?" Loki asked. They all looked at him in confusion, but eventually Darcy and Eric sat down and looked at Loki.

"Ok, then. Just don't freak out, Selvig." Loki said. He changed back into his original form and Eric fainted on the spot. "I had a feeling that was going to happen." Loki stated.

"He'll be ok for now. Loki, what's going on?" Darcy asked as she checked Eric's pulse. He took a deep breath. Loki had never been this nervous before and it freaked him out. He then told them of what had happened with the Frost Giants and what was going to happen in a matter of days. Darcy stood up and walked right up to him.

"You what?" Darcy asked.

"Please, I know it's hard to understand bu-" Darcy slapped him across the face. She was trying to hold back tears, but a few had unfortunatley slipped threw. Thor moved Darcy out of the way and pushed Loki against the wall...Again.

"I thought that somewhere inside of you, could've been my brother. But I know now, my brother has been dead for a very long time and he's never coming back." Thor finished. Loki sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Jane was still sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. She knew something was up. She knew. Jane should've listened to Darcy. Why didn't she? Darcy took a deep breath and ran out of the room.

"Darcy-"

"Leave her be. How dare you. You tricked father and you tricked me. I thought this was going to happen, but I somehow felt that Darcy had changed you and that you would stop this hatred inside." Thor said.

"Please, I can explain everything if you would just-"

"Listen? I'm afraid I have done too much of that already. You will help me defeat the Frost Giants and then you will leave. Keeping you in a cell in Asgard didn't work. Why should it now? You will leave this realm and you will never come back. Do you understand?" Thor asked. Loki stared Thor in his eyes.

"I will not leave this filthy realm. I love Darcy with all my heart, and though you threaten me, you will never stop me. Darcy is mine and mine alone. I will fight the Frost Giants by myself. I started this. Those filthy Giants can rip my heart out with their bare hands for all I care. As long as Darcy and her beloved world are safe from those hideous creatures." And with that Loki was gone. The only thing he didn't know, was that Eric had woken up and saw everything.

Eric ran outside and found Darcy sobbing under a tree in a nearby park.

"Darcy, Come on Darcy. Calm down, everything is going to be alright." Eric said while trying to calm her. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and took deep breaths.

"I-I just thought he was different, you know? I have dealt with some real dick guys, but he seemed... perfect. God, why did I have to be so stupid." She said as she put her head in her hands. Eric sat down next to her.

"Do you love him?" He asked.

"I thought I did, but-"

"Do you love him?" He asked once more. Darcy turned and faced Eric.

"Yes." She replied. Eric sighed.

"Then think about what I'm about to say. I was in the apartment building after you left and he spoke of how much he loved you. He is going to go and stop the Frost Giants single-handedly, so that you can stay safe." Eric said.

"What? But, he'll-"

"I'm not finished." Eric said. Darcy cracked under his gaze and stared at the ground. Eric looked up into the sky. "Before I met you and Jane, I worked at a lab in Switzerland. I had fallen in love with my closest friend. But, she made a mistake that I never forgave her for." Eric said. Darcy looked at him.

"What was her name?" Eric gave a slight laugh.

"Her name was Denice and she was beautiful. Bright red hair and amazing green eyes." Eric picked up a rock and began rubbing it. " After our big argument... She was hit by a car and hospitalized. I felt that it was my fault for what happened to her and never forgave myself." He turned and faced Darcy.

"What did she do? You know, that started the argument and everything." Darcy said.

"She broke my heart. Denice never loved me. She loved someone else and I just never saw it. But, when I saw him talk to her at the hospital, I knew that I could never be with her." Eric looked at her once more. "But, Loki loves you. Please, don't make the same mistake I did. You and him still have a chance. Don't ruin it when it can all be fixed." Eric finished. Darcy took a deep breath and thought long and hard.

"I don't know how." Darcy replied. Eric put his hand on her shoulder.

"Just tell him how you feel and that he doesn't have to do this alone." Eric said. She wiped her eyes once more.

"Alright, I need to talk to him." She said as she stood up.

"That's going to be a bit tricky." Eric said.

"What do you mean?"

"He kind of already left for Jotunheim."

"What?"

"Come on, we need to talk to Thor." Eric said as she grabbed her arm and began running back towards the apartment. Once they got there, both stopped in their tracks.

"Oh no." Darcy said. SHIELD had surrounded the apartment and were interviewing every single tenant, including Thor and Jane. "What do we do?" She asked.

"I don't know, Darcy." SHIELD Agents ran towards them. "I really don't."

Ah, cliff-hangers. Don't you just love em!
