Hello everyone! Sorry for such a late update. A lot has been going on. Apparently we can't get enough snow. It's been messing with my Wifi. Anyway i hope you enjoy this chapter. it took a hard time writing it at first because i didn't really know how to introduce Thor, so I had to dig around my DVD collection for ideas. Also I didn't know how I would unfold Loki and Darcy's pasts without being too dramatic. So I came up with this.
Thank you so much for the reviews. Especially Embers in the flames, Ki6, Time Reviewer and Lady Syndra for reviewing! They make this story worth writing. You guys are truly amazing. If you have any questions, comments or even ideas, feel free to review and tell me! Without further a due, enjoy.
I do not own anything other than a pair of mismatch earrings and Doc Martins I recently painted Hunter Green and Gold.
Darcy groaned as she woke up and got dressed early Saturday morning. She quickly pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt as she ran into the kitchen to grab breakfast.
Who flies in on Saturday morning? Isn't it for pajamas and cartoons beating the crap out of each other? Darcy thought as she took a huge bite of her pop tart. She had to be at the airport in less than an hour to pick up Jane from her flight in. She had missed her crazed friend and was looking forward to annoying the scientist as much as possible this morning for forcing her to pick her up at the airport when she could be still asleep. Looking over at the clock she saw that she had less than 45 minutes before Jane arrived.
"Shit!" Darcy cursed as she shoved the whole Pop Tart in her mouth and tugged on her converses before hobbling out the door with her keys in one hand, and her jacket in the other. When she got in the elevator she yanked on her jacket and threw her keys in her pocket where thankfully her cell phone was from the previous night.
Oh, last night. Darcy began to remember her random date with Loki. The lighting and his eyes. The way his hand would ghost over the small of her back when he guided her into the restaurant. The smell of mint and leather when they kissed. Darcy blushed a little at the thought of what they would have done if she didn't pull back. A small part of her regretted not inviting him in...
Stop that. You're not that kind-of girl Darce...even though you'll be a little wicked for him...
She jumped slightly out of her thoughts as she felt her phone vibrate harshly in her pocket. She pulled out her phone to see a text from an unknown number. She was already running late so she ignored in and raced towards the train station.
The trains was fairly empty...seeing that everyone was already happily still asleep. Darcy got to the airport after jogging and practically jumping over a cab in less than 45 minutes and had time to grab coffee and wait for Jane's plane to arrive. She was glad to have a few moments alone. Walking up to a Coffee stand Darcy didn't notice someone stepping towards her from the back. Focusing on what flavor she wanted, Darcy leaned over the counter, trying to get a better look of the pricing and the stranger stepped closer, almost making physical contact.
"I always leaned towards Caramel flavor" the man whispered near her ear. Darcy whipped around and came face to face with a short, bulky man with brown hair and brown eyes. He stood there with a grin that made his lips stretch into a creepy grin that showed no teeth.
"Okay dude, I don't know who the hell you are or what you want, but you better back the hell up away from me!" Darcy said as she balled her fist and attempted to stand tall with her chin up slightly. The man lifted up his eyebrows in amusement and took a step back with his hands in the air as a surrender.
"I didn't mean to startle you." He said. Darcy stared daggers into him as if he could catch on fire with her gaze.
"That gives you no right to be all up on a girl." Darcy seethed. She didn't like when people invaded her personal space without her being aware, especially men. She already had a bad history with them. Darcy shuddered as the memories poked the back of her mind. Darcy turned around as quickly a she could and began to walk away.
I'll get coffee somewhere else. She walked quickly, daring herself not to look behind her back. But she could still hear his heavy footsteps behind her, drawing near. Darcy began to panic. She hoped that she had her taser in her jacket pocket, she was in too much of a rush this morning to remember to check. Her heart began to pound as the footsteps got nearer.
Damn. Damn. Damn. Where the hell is a gate or at least someone who fucking works here!
Darcy quicken her pace as if she was about to run. Her eyes darted from hallway to hallway as she searched for Jane's gate. I'll just go and find Jane's plane and notify someone there...or I can just fight. Ugh. I hate running.
The footsteps behind her began to slow down until Darcy could no longer hear the heavy pounding of the man's boots. The intercom above ranged loudly and announce Jane's flight had arrived. To Darcy's relief she finally saw a gate that read the flight number. She waited until she got close enough to an attendant to turn around to see if the man was there. No one was behind her. Taking a deep breath Darcy reached into her pockets and searched for her taser. After a few minutes her fingers came into contact with the smooth, cold metal of her weapon and she let out a relieved sigh. Thank the gods I leave my taser in my pockets. She checked to see if it was fully charged then she stuffed it into her jeans pocket. Just in-case I need easy access.
People began to slowly trickle out of the Gateway and Darcy looked for Jane's brown hair in the crowd. She began to hop up and down to get a better look but with no luck. She then pulled out her phone, thinking to call Jane in hopes that she left her cellphone on when she saw the text from earlier that she hadn't checked. She still couldn't recognize the number on the display board. She clicked on the message and her jaw nearly dropped open.
Text: Good Morning my Dearest Darcy
Darcy swallowed. She quickly sent a text back.
D: Who's this?
Darcy glanced up and looked around, trying to spy anyone that was looking suspicious at her. Hey Law & Order should contribute for something right? She thought as she began to pace. The man from earlier gave her an uneasy feeling in her gut, as if he was testing her out for something sinister. She began to bite her lip when her phone vibrated in her hand.
Text: Loki remember? Am I interrupting something?
Darcy smiled a huge smile and stopped looking around the place. She barely remembered giving Loki her cellphone number but nonetheless she was glad that he had it.
D: I don't remember giving you my number. Are you that infatuated with me Mr. Laufeyson?
She grinned. She pictured Loki sitting in a chair, smiling that wicked smile he did when she flirted with him.
L: Oh wouldn't you know Ms. Lewis? How was your morning so far?
Darcy's skin prickled at the thought of the man from earlier. What if he's still watching me? Where's Jane?
Darcy began to walk around people, bobbing up and down again to see if she saw Jane. She did catch a glimpse at a tall man with golden blonde hair and muscles straining in his tee-shirt. He looked as though he was attempting to weave his way through the people. His blue eyes scanned the crowd until they made eye contact with her, noticing Darcy staring at him, he smiled a 1000 watt smile her way and continued to walk..
Woah that dude was huge! Darcy thought. She wondered who was he. He didn't look like most guys around here, so she brushed him off as a tourist. She then saw Jane, walking swiftly and looking both ways around. Darcy called her name and saw the scientist whip her head in her direction and then started to walk towards her.
D: My morning sucked. creepy dude tried to bother me. Other than that I'm okay. Just picking up a friend so we can get some hang time. I'll text you later kay?
Darcy texted. Loki responded immediately.
L: Please be careful. Would you like me to pick you and your friend up? I'll hate to leave you alone in danger and I can pick you up quickly. I'll just have to run an errand first.
Darcy smiled at the thought of Loki rushing to her. Even though it would bother her that Loki thinks that she would be okay with him attempting to 'protect her', she had to admit it was a nice jester of him.
D: No, run your errand. I'm gonna leave soon anyway. Thanks for the offer.
Jane ran up to Darcy and enveloped her in a hug.
"Darcy!" She squealed. Darcy chuckled and wrapped her arms around Jane.
"How was your flight?" Darcy asked as she took up Jane's things and began to walk out towards where the many clusters of cabs were waiting. She began to feel uneasy as she caught a glimpse of a man with brown hair.
"uh Jane, can we hurry to the rental? I think we need to get out of here"
"What why Darcy? Is there something wrong?" Jane asked as she began to hurry towards the white van pulled over at the side of the street. A young boy asked Jane for her I.D. and then gave her the keys to the truck. Darcy quickly threw Jane's things into the van and hoped in the passenger's seat. She spotted the brown hair man in the rear view mirror. He was looking straight at her.
"Jane come on please?" Darcy grabbed Jane's arm and pulled her into the truck. Jane started the truck and quickly pulled out the spot.
"What the hell Darcy?" Jane exclaimed as she glanced at Darcy. Darcy paid her no mind and she began to look around the traffic. They were stuck at the red light and Darcy could still see the man walking up the street behind them to the car. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.
"That creepy guy with the brown hair is following me." Jane stepped on the gas at the red light and accidentally hit a large blond man that was crossing in front of the car.
"Ahhhh!" Darcy screamed as Jane jumped out the car. The blonde man from the airport slowly getting up off the ground as Jane rushed to his side.
"I'm soooo sorry!" She gripped the man by his huge arm and attempted to help him up. Darcy doubted that made any effort but it looked as though the man was dazed and confused as he looked at Jane.
"Who are you?" he asked, stumbling and gripping Jane. Jane looked up at the man half scared and half guilty. He didn't look dangerous but the man was disoriented and Darcy knew how people could lash out when they are confused. She had to take action.
"Dude back up." Darcy warned, snatching her taser out of her pants pocket and aiming it towards his chest.
"Why and who are you to threaten Thor?" He asked as he staggered and gripped Jane's arm. "What happened?" he asked as he looked at her.
"Dude let her go or I'll light your ass up." Darcy took a step closer. Keeping eye contact with him. People began to look their way, seeing the possible drama spilling out in the street.
The man released Jane and staggered towards her. Darcy flinched and accidentally pressed the trigger, tasing the man. She watched as he slumped down to the ground, still jittering. His large muscled body eventually relaxed into unconsciousness.
"Darcy!" Jane yelled as she fell to next to the man and checked his pulse.
"What the hell Darcy! Why would you tase him?" Jane checked his forehead and neck.
"Hey the dude was freaking me out! You were the one who hit him with your car!"
Darcy wound her taser back up and stuffed it into her pocket. She then helped Jane lift the huge guy up, but they were straining. Nicely a few strangers ran over and helped them lift the man into the back of the truck. Jane thanked them as they grabbed the man's bags that was discarded in the street and hopped into the car. Why did this guy pack heavy?
"Where the hell are we taking him?" Darcy asked Jane as they began to drive. I'm not taking him home to my house!
"The hospital" Jane said as she began to drive towards the large building a few blocks away.
"Why?" Darcy glanced back at the unconscious man laying on the floor of the van, his blonde hair sprayed across his closed eyes.
"We assaulted him!" Jane exclaimed. Darcy rolled her eyes. "You hit him with the car and I thought he was a lunatic! He couldn't even speak clearly! How do we know he's not crazy? Who speaks in third person like that!?"
Jane looked back at the man too. "I hit him with the car. That can cause people to be disoriented for short periods of time. But then you had to tase him Darcy!" Why didn't you think first?" I didn't want you or me to be attacked by a giant hot stranger. Duh.
Darcy sat back and looked out the window. She didn't mean to hurt the guy. He looked like a gentle man when she saw him in the airport, but when he was stumbling around she remembered how her ex-boyfriend would stumble around after a long night before he attacked her. She reacted to the memory and tased this new guy. She felt bad. She hurt the guy just because he triggered a memory. But she didn't feel she was wrong seeing since he did freak her out.
When they got to the hospital they told the attendant what happened.
"And who did what?" The lady asked as she began to type in her computer.
"Jane hit him with the car." Darcy said. Pointing to Jane who was standing behind her.
"But she tased him!" Jane said pointing back at Darcy. Darcy smiled and twisted back and forth. "Yes I did." she said with both pride and amusement in her voice. That's how much of a bad ass I am. The lady smiled kindly and took the man into a room. They had checked his pockets and found a wallet with an I.D. It red the name Thor Odinson. Darcy laughed at the name. What was this planet coming to? Thor? Loki? The names were hilarious to her. She knew she didn't have a normal name but still, it was more normal than these. The nurse came back out and told them that they had to go sit in the waiting room. Apparently with accidents like this they have to call the police and have them interviewed.
On the weekend I have off, I get sucked into a police interrogation. How typical. Than you Jane for your terrible driving skills. And thank you mister blonde man for not know what the hell a red light is for.
Darcy took out her hone and texted loki. He always seemed to make her feel happy.
D: Hey Mr. Hows the errands?
Loki responded.
L: It's okay. Can't find my brother though. I think he stood me up. You?
Darcy laughed. Jane glimpsed at her so Darcy ducked her head down and quickly texted.
D: Well my friend hit this guy with a car then I tased him because i thought he was a creep and then I get sucked into an interrogation. Normal Saturday.
L: are you serious? Sounds like a fun day so far. are you sure you don't want me to pick you up? Or do I have to bail you out of jail?
D: I don't think jail...yet. I'll let you know. But I don't need a ride, I think I'll just take my friend home and just hang out.
L: Yet? Are you planning more mischief Ms. Lewis? Be safe getting home and text me when you are there safe. i miss you.
Darcy blushed deeply. Butterflies in her stomach began to swarm when she read his text. He misses me.
D: I miss you too. Text you later.
Darcy felt giddy. Jane looked over at Darcy with her eyebrows raised as if saying 'I know you're texting a guy' "Later" Darcy whispered as she tucked her phone back into her pocket. The officer came in and began to talk to the girls. Asking simple questions. When Jane told the man about how Darcy was paranoid at seeing a man with brown hair following her, Darcy tried to brush it off. Yeah the man was creepy but she felt that she had no true evidence of stalking towards the man. The police officer then asked the women where they were headed and if they wanted to meet the man that they 'accidentally' hit. Darcy said no. She didn't want to feel badder than she already did now. Jane agreed.
After a while the man woke up and the police talked to him. Apparently 'Thor' felt bad for scaring the women and didn't want to press charges against them. The guy asked to meet the girls but again they refused. Darcy didn't want to meet Thor, it freaked her out already and she didn't think she could face him again without either blushing or laughing. Jane thought so too. They just wanted to leave. So when they left they decided to just to grab something to eat, and then catch up on each others lives. Darcy also hoped that she could talk to Loki about making themselves official. That way she could brag to Jane about her total hot guy, but for now she was just stuck telling Jane about the event happening soon at the Diner, and how Frankie still won't perm his hair, or how she was about to skin Allura alive.
Allura sat in her car, filing her nails and listening to the radio. A quick tap hit her window and she instantly unlocked the door and let the man in.
"Did you see her Adam?" Allura asked. The man smiled as his brown hair brushed against his forehead.
"Yeah. She spunky. I like her." He said. Adam had followed the girl from her apartment early in the morning to the airport. He had approached her as to seeing what kind of girl she was, and also to install some fear. He loved it when the fear of him nawed at his victims and it looked like she would put up a good fight. He liked them feisty.
"So?" Allura asked. Adam smiled. "I got her all scared. It won't be too long now."
Allura's smile grew. "Good. Game on." Let's have some fun.
Loki sat in his chair, reading a new volume he had flown to him from Norway. He was waiting on his brother to call him and let him know that his flight had arrived and he was on his way, but somehow Thor didn't call. Loki wasn't worried though. Thor knew how to handle himself and most likely he had just ran into some unfortunate girl to fawn all over him. I hope he got lost. Loki thought as he turned the page.
He had texted Darcy earlier. she was stuck on his mind when he woke up. He was worried at first hearing about a man startling her. He instantly wanted to go and pick her up, but she stubbornly refused his help, and instead teased him on his worries. He felt so strongly about her and would fall apart if something happened to her.
Hours passed when he got a call. It was from the hospital. Apparently his brother was hurt. loki grabbed his coat and raced out the door. What is with everyone in danger today?
He got to the hospital fairly quickly, seeing that he lived in the city. By the time he got there, Tony and steve was there as well.
"What are you two doing here?" Loki asked as he stood against a wall opposite of them.
"S.H.E.I.L.D. got notified that Thor was in here." Steve said as he sat down. Loki rolled his eyes. Ofcourse S.H.E.I.L.D. would have a track on his brother.
"If they called you here, then why do I have to be?" loki asked. Tony's eyebrows rose up. "Hey dude, he's still your brother."
Loki scoffed and waited for the doctor to come out, along with a police man.
"Sir what happened?" Steve asked. Loki stood back into the shadows.
"Apparently Thor was accidentally hit in the middle of the street by 2 woman, they took alarm and got out of the truck and went to aid him. But he scared them and they tased him into unconsciousness and brought him here. I talked to them. They were clearly innocent and Thor wished to not press charges. So the women was released and they left."
Tony began to laugh hysterically as Thor walked out into the room.
"Dude, you were rendered unconscious by a couple of women?" He gasped as he held to his sides. Loki smirked and chuckled.
"Brother really?"
Thor blushed and looked away. "They were just two, and it was both a van and a taser. In any case they were beautiful ad kind. i feel bad. I scared them first."
"Whatever dude! You got your ass handed to you!" Tony patted him on the back and began to leave the hospital. Steve too patted him back and walked out.
Loki and Thor was left alone, walking silently to Loki's car.
"Brother, I know that you still feel angry towards me. I know now that you do not wish to bond again with me but I want you to know that I have decided to take this job for you. To repair our relationship." Thor then stopped walking and turned towards Loki. He looked into Loki's eyes and searched for something. Anything he could find of his old brother. Loki looked at Thor. Trying to control his thoughts and emotions. He still didn't feel happy with his brother, but he knew that he had to put things aside. To be a bigger man. At least for now.
"Okay Thor." Loki said as he walked passed Thor and got into his car. Thor got into the passenger seat.
"I also see you continue to wear that ring." Thor said as he gestured towards the silver ring on Loki's finger. Loki looked down at his hand and nodded. "Somethings you can't let go." Loki whispered.
They drove in silence. Thor thinking about what was ahead for him with repairing what he had broken. Loki thinking about how he could handle Thor's confession, and what he really wanted. He knew from this moment on, life would not be so easy.
I'm so ready to beat the crap out of Allura. She reminds me of those annoying girls in the movies. And yes, The creepy guy that Allura was talking to in the previous chapters was Adam, the guy that Darcy saw in the airport. He looks quite attractive but his smile screams serial killer. Just saying.
I will also state again that this is A/U Human story. So none of the characters have super natural abilities.
Also the thing about getting hit by a car is true...I hit my cousin one time with a golf car and he was a little loopy for a while.
Hope you enjoyed and Ill update soon!
