Hello! Sorry for the late update. We get a little Steve Rogers in this one. Sorry again for grammer problems.
SamanthaSamma: Thanks for the input! I will look into that.
Thanks for the reviews. They make me happy. :)
Enjoy!
Darcy rounded another corner of SHIELD headquarters. She groaned in frustration. Seriously? What was with this place and its endless grayish walls? She started down another corridor. Were this people cyborgs with maps implanted in their heads or something? There is no way anybody could find their way around this place. The only other place she had gotten lost in was the hospital to visit her cousin. But at least they had signs to guide the people.
" ?"
She turned around and there stood Steve Rogers in his armor. She ran to him and hugged him tightly while babbling. "Thank you! Thank you! I thought I was lost. I thought I would never see my friends again!"
Steve just stood there awkwardly patting on her back. "Umm glad to be of help."
She withdrew from his arms and looked at him with a wild look in her eyes. "You don't understand! I could of been caught in the endless void of gray walls! With the pigs!"
He opened his mouth before closing it and gently taking her arm. "Come on, lets get you some coffee."
Steve put the cup of coffee in front of Darcy. She thanked him and took a sip. Oh that felt good. She had needed some caffeine in her system. Steve had taken her to small room which had chairs and a fancy coffee machine.
"I didn't even know this was here." she remarked before she took another sip.
"Yeah its new. Mr. Stark insisted putting it in against Director Fury's request not to. Stark argued and I quote 'The Avengers need coffee to keep themselves running' so here we are." He waved his hand at the coffee machine.
Turning around to face her he said "I'm sorry I have to go. Fury has ordered another monthly Avengers meeting. I'm to be expected there."
"Of course" She stood up quickly and a gave him salute as serious as she could. He gave a slight smile before walking out of the room.
She let out sigh and plopped back down on the chair. She went to take another sip of coffee. Then spit it out just as fast. Making a face of confusion and distaste she stared at it. It was cold. How could it be cold?
A hand went down to touch her on shoulder. She yelped and jumped up spilling her coffee all over her shirt. She mentally groaned, it had been one of her favorite shirts. She looked up to glare at the person who scared her.
"Loki! Really?! Why?" Loki had become one of the Avengers recently and strangely enough one of her best friends. Very best friend. Well at least from her point of view.
Loki smirked "Because its fun."
She rolled her eyes and started wiping her shirt with a towel. Huh? Wait a minute... Looking up at him "Aren't you supposed to be in the meeting thing for the Avengers?"
He got a annoyed look on his face. "I find their conversations boring."
"So you walked out?!" She looking at him incredulous. Nobody walked out of a SHIELD meeting. Nobody.
Now it was his turn to roll his eyes. "Of course not I am still there." Her mouth dropped "You can clone yourself?!"
"Yes"
Completely forgetting what she was doing. She walked up to him and gripped his shoulders " That is totally awesome." She told him looking at him seriously.
A flicker of surprise shone in his eye. "You like my magic?"
Why did he look so surprise? His magic was awesome. "Yeah its great! I mean the hammer cool and all but the magic is even more cooler." she fell silently looking down to try wipe out the stain on her shirt.
He stared at her disbelief. Nobody had ever liked his magic before. The Warriors of Three and Sif were always distrustful of his magic and Thor just didn't care. The Avengers were fine with it as long as it got the job done. But this girl did and she was one of the few mortals he could stand.
He got brought out of his thoughts by a annoyed groan. He watched amused as the mortal girl practically scrubbed an hole in her shirt. "I was supposed to meet with Jane and compare notes" she whined miserably. His hand moved before his mind caught up. The coffee stain on her shirt dissapear with a whiff of green smoke.
She stared for a minute at her shirt. She would have to get used to that. Looking up at Loki she smiled widely "Thanks Loki!" she glanced at the clock over the coffee machine. Gasping she grabbed her jacket from table muttering "I am late!" before rushing by Loki down one of the endless corridors where she was sure to get lost.
Loki took a deep breath in and stared at his hand. What happened? He hadn't planned on doing that. He was going leave her with a messed up shirt.
But he didn't. Why? And why did his breathing quicken all the sudden when she smiled? He stared at where she left with a complex look on his face. He shook his head, he would think on it later. Right now he had to get back to the boring meeting before somebody figured out he left a clone. He faded away leaving the small coffee room empty.
