Disclaimer: See other chapters...

Okay, so this chapter has a lot of feels, and it took a bit out of me to write this chapter, but it has become my favorite for those exact reasons...

OH AND P.S UMMM.. THE FIRST COUPLE OF SENTENCES GOT A BIT OF LEMON ACTION GOING ON. I couldn't actually stop myself from writing it, Loki and Darcy couldn't keep their hands off each other... lol.

So avoid the words until the next line break...

Chapter 11:

*Two days Later*

"Oh Loki! Fuck yes!"

Darcy was falling over the edge of ecstasy, while Loki took her there on her counter. They were supposed to be making brownies but she licked the spoon hoping to tease him after she put them in the oven and instead called him to action. Now he was giving her the D when they were supposed to be in a meeting with everyone in ten minutes. She had tried to talk him out of it when he started playing with her shirt, but the trickster had a point to prove, You don't tease him and get away with it.

He rocketed into her and spilled himself inside, his forehead resting on her shoulder.

"Darcy..."

The panted and Loki released her legs so they could relax on the counter.

"If they gave a gold medal for what we just did then we would be undisputed champs."

Just then the timer dinged. She pushed against the still god and hoped off her counter. Not affected by the fact her clothes being on all crazy she pulled the brownies out and left them to cool. Then they began to fix their clothes, well Loki fixed his, Darcy ran to take the quickest shower she had ever taken (and as fast as her thighs allowed.) and changed her clothes. She plated the treats and made Loki snap them to the meeting room. Where they were 10 minutes late and everyone was staring.

"Nice of you both to join us."

Said Nick, his one eye glaring. Loki ignored the man and pulled out Darcy's chair.

"She brought brownies! All's forgiven!"

Tony said reaching for two and smiling like a kid. Pepper rolled her eyes playfully yet exasperated and sat back in her chair. Everyone except Nick and Maria took one, all smiling at Darcy for livening up their meeting.

"Back to business, their have been a series of attacks on foreign dignitaries"

"And This concerns us how?"

Tony said finishing off the first of the two brownies, while Thor moved on to his third.

"If you let me explain then I can tell you..."

He stared at Tony. Tony stared back.

"As I was saying these attack would normally have nothing to do with us, but these attacks are strange."

Nick clicked a button and in front of them projections of what had to be on Maria's laptop appeared. Things exploded, people screaming and running wildly, some dissipating into dust as they hit with something.

"All these attacks have happened within the last week and a half. The capital believed that the attacks at first were terrorists works, but nobody has claimed the attacks and we have no intel on anything that could even potentially be something like this. Whomever is doing this is a threat to the civilian population including its soldiers and civil servants. Your missions to find and destroy this threat before they can harm anyone else"

Darcy sat back, as strong as her stomach was, it troubled her to watch people turn into nothing right in front of her.

"Do we have any idea what this weapon is that, they are using to vaporize people with?"

Said Steve, his blue eyes swirled with concern and a bit of anger at watching people die.

"Well it would have something similar to a Nuclear bomb to vaporize someone like that."

Said Bruce, pushing his glasses up on his face.

"Yes, but it would have to be a chemical compound that could be distributed to the enemy without harming the sprayers unless they are self sacrifices."

Tony said, Darcy could tell his brain was turning. He then stood up and continued.

"The only problem with that theory is that they would have to also have had to figure out how to make sure the people got hit and not them."

"Unless it's not a chemical but something with high energy, a gun with the power to shoot high beams of energy perhaps.

Said Dr. Banner.

" One things for certain these are no amateurs."

Said Steve.

Darcy kept looking at the footage, something wasn't right here. While it looked like people were running away from the falling buildings that she assumed were political marks, they were hit the bomb or whatever and vaporized but nobody was behind them. She ignored the people going back and forth about the best course of action and stood up. Loki noticed her stand and went to speak but she hushed him. Darcy was having a moment, a moment where she knew she had a purpose and not just providing snacks and entertainment to the group of superheroes. She enlarged the projections and watched intently, not caring that everyone was staring at her and had subsequently stopped talking, then she heard it. It was a high-pitched whistle, so high in fact she was surprised she had heard it herself.

"Does anyone hear that?"

Everyone looked at her strangely. She caught something out the corner of her eye. It looked like a blue light.

"Jarvis slow down the video. Play it from the beginning. Please"

Darcy spoke.

"Speak Agent Lewis"

Said Director Fury.

"Hold on... There. Jarvis make one big projection of the scene."

The table became a mini action scene. All outline, of the bombing.

"Play the video on left wall."

The video appeared on her left.

"Doesn't anybody realize what's wrong with the video feed?"

Even Tony scratched his chin.

"These people aren't just running from the blast they are running from someone."

" Yeah the people shooting at them"

Said Steve.

"No. That's not it. Jarvis take out the screams from the audio, now the explosions. Do you hear it now? And look at the back between the people running there is a blue light. It could be compared to Tony and Banners energy power theory but a normal gun couldn't make 5 people vaporize like that. This is something else."

They listened and sure enough they heard the high-pitched sound, it made Thor and Loki freeze and look at each other knowingly. They had heard that sound in battle before, and it was only against Malekith.

"She's right. I'm afraid this time our fight has once again become yours."

Said Loki, standing up beside Darcy. Everyone looked at the two Asgardians and waited for them to finish. This time Thor spoke.

" That sound... It is one of Dark Magic, only one type of Dark Magic in particular... Elves"

"Those cute little things with pointy hats that help Santa Claus at the mall? Don't tell me they are real too."

Tony spoke, his tone saying that maybe he'd had a bad experience with one of Santa's little helpers at one point in his life.

Thor and Loki both had a confused look on their faces until Loki rolled his eyes.

"No it's not one of those, at least I think not. No these are Dark Elves, these elves were the reason I came for Jane to live on Asgard for a few mortal months."

"These are highly dangerous. We destroyed their home during our battle, when they wished to take over Asgard. We thwarted their plans, their race was almost entirely destroyed in battle besides the ones that fled. Among the ones that lived was their leader Malekith. He is an experienced sorcerer as well as having the normal elven powers of speed, agility and magic but his is much more advanced."

Loki spoke drifting closer to Darcy.

"Shit, just when you thought it was safe to let your kids take pictures with the little buggers. How do we get rid of them?"

Tony joked but you could tell he was worried.

"Destroy them in battle. They are a power-hungry race of creatures, they will not stop until the get what they came for or death. Though this time I fear his wrath will be worse. For he not only seeks power, he seeks revenge against my brother and I for ending his reign and taking victory in the battle that cost him his realm and people. He will see to it that we are destroyed, and by his own hand."

Banner looked around at the room, Steve was worried, Natasha and Clint had stony faces which meant they were worried they just didn't want to show it.

"So what does this Malekith elf look like? Any noticeable features to identify him in battle or our facial scanners"

Hill asked after being silent after the whole meeting. Thor nodded at Hill then looked at his brother. Loki focused into what he wanted to look like and shifted into a twin of Malekith. Jane screamed a little, Steve sat up straighter, Bruce cleaned his glasses and put them back on, Natasha, Pepper, and Maria looked like they were going to be somewhat sick and were caught somewhere in nausea and disgust, Fury and Coulson had the same practiced stoic expression, Tony's large child like eyes got bigger, and Darcy who was internally freaked by the sight of her lover turned elf she was surprisingly unaffected outwardly by seeing the elf so close to her. She knew it was Loki and that he wouldn't hurt her, she moved closer and waited for him to change back.

"Jarvis snap a picture for SHEILD database"

Tony said without taking his eyes off the Loki Elf, who waited for Jarvis to say he got the pictures, before he formed back into himself.

Darcy sat in her chair, next to Loki.

"That was TOTALLY WICKED!"

She said in her best impression of the little kid on the tricycle from the Incredibles That broke the tension and Jane laughed a little along with her best friend despite being freaked out at the elf she had nightmares about from her confrontation with him in the past.

"Whiz girl has a point that was awesome. Freaky but awesome"

Tony grinned at Loki. Loki smirked liking to show off his power every now and again.

"Director, what do we do?"

Coulson asked with his business look on his face.

"Nip this in the bud. Until he attacks again we had no way of knowing where he is and what he wants. Meanwhile have techs run a facial pattern software. Even if he changed his looks hopeful he doesn't alter them beyond humanizing them."

Just then Jarvis spoke.

"There's been a notice of attack with similar qualities detected in England, its prime minister is being held hostage. They request immediate action.

"Suit up. Well expect you Banner, once we get their free reign"

Tony joked toward the end, and Bruce gave a shy smirk.

"Yea yea, let's go before I change my mind and take off your penthouse again."

They laughed, and went to their respective areas to get their armors and get to the roof. Darcy seemed strong, but like Jane she had a reason to fret and shake a little at the Avengers going off to battle, seeing as her boyfriend was one now. She only hoped that they all came back in one piece and that this little elf character didn't get a hold of either her besties boyfriend or her own. Darcy went into the room where Loki had shifted into his battle gear, minus the big ugly horns. One look at Darcy and he could read her face, she was worried, scared even.

"My Love I have battled this enemy before and came out fine."

"Yeah I know. I'm just being Darcy, it's in my nature to worry about my boyfriend. I mean who else will I get to snap my groceries upstairs?"

He laughed and pulled her into him. They both knew she was putting on a brave face, but they didn't acknowledge it. He rapid-ed them to the roof, where them was waiting.

"Agent Lewis your don't have time to change, suit up on the plane with Agent Romanov and Barton.

Fury said, causing Darcy's eyes to bug and Loki to stiffen beside her, though she hadn't noticed.

"But Director, I haven't had an assignment yet. You really want me, the techie on this one."

"You have all the abilities to go on this mission. You figured out what we all couldn't this is a fitting first mission. No argument get moving"

Darcy gulped and started moving toward the jet, until Loki grabbed her arm.

"You aren't going"

Darcy looked at him like he'd grown a second head.

"Meaning"

"It's too dangerous, I'm not letting you go, your training is far from complete"

"Too bad it's not up to you Loki, I said she going. Now all of you in board"

Said Fury.

Loki's eyes flashed red though nobody noticed but Darcy.

"And I said she's not going! It's too dangerous!"

She stepped in front of Loki, his skin while still pale, had started dropping in temperature she knew from experience nothing god came from a frost giant losing his cool. Hehe she made a funny in her head.

"Okay now is so not the time"

Darcy said to herself in her head.

" Loki just calm down. It's not that bad. We will go and take care of him or at least figure out what he wants and come home."

" No do you realize that if he get a hold of you, what he will do to you. What he will do to you, to get to me"

He said, not caring if everyone was listening intently.

"It's not like he knows I just made you brownies or something. As far as he knows we are just there to stop him"

"Damn it Darcy! Everything is not a joke!"

He grabbed her arm rather harshly, needing her to understand he needed her to stay behind. Everyone else panicked and thought he was angry at her. Steve stepped forward.

"Loki, let her go! Lets go stop him instead"

Steve tried to step forward again, but Tony stopped him, sensing what was going on between the two. Loki was ignoring everyone and kept focusing on the woman he had unknowingly fallen for.

"Darcy if Malekith gets you, he will know because I will do everything in my power including dying to save you. I... Care for you too much to let you go. I need you to stay behind. Worse fate lies for Jane if he finds her here before we return."

Darcy understood, had she not been shaking in her converses not ten seconds before Fury demanded she tag along? He cared for her, so much so that he couldn't let her go to stop this particular villain, and she also knew that knowing herself she would do something stupid and get caught and then risk his life because he would try to save her.

She nodded and Loki forgot about waiting to tell everyone and pulled her body close to his, connecting them by the lips as he kissed her with intensity. Even Fury had a bit if shock in his face, which was saying a lot. Tony and Natasha already had ideas about the two so they smugly smiled at the couple. After a few moments of soul exchanging kissing, Fury cleared his throat.

"Sorry to interrupt, but there is a Dark Elf trying to take over the world right now. Board the jet"

"Like I said Director Fury she will not go. She will stay behind with Jane and project her. If Makekith finds out Jane is here, he will make sure to have his revenge on Thor through her. He will then become useless."

He straightened himself to standing and Fury knew he could not argue, because he could tell Loki was also speaking for himself. He would get people including himself killed to save the Agent. He could send her out on other missions and try to find what he was looking for in her in some other way.

"Agent Lewis protective duty, effectively immediately. Also run satellite monitoring for them during battle, keep watch on their backs, call out anything they don't see."

She gave her short, jerky, on duty nod to Fury and turned back to Loki.

"You got me kicked off my first mission, thanks."

She smirked, showing him she wasn't mad.

"My pleasure. At least your safe"

"Whatever get on board. I've got your back out there. Don't worry about me, and kick some elf ass!"

The team laughed and boarded, Loki pecked her cheek and the hatch closed, zooming them to hopefully stop the elves once and for all...

After 2 minutes of staring off into the horizon she turned to find Nick, Maria and Coulson gone to to control room, and leaving her with Pepper and Jane. Pepper was smiling her, you could tell she was a romantic in her heart even if she had to remind Tony that romance and sensuality was not the same thing as sex every now and again.

"I thought Tony was crazy, but turns out his brain does match his ego. Congratulations Darcy! How long?"

"Just while you guys went on retreat. After we realized we could hold a conversation without killing each other, we realized the attraction there. Then again I guess it was always attraction there, I just choose to ignore it..."

"And for good reason! Darcy Lewis Have you lost you mind?!"

Jane said yelling at Darcy. Darcy who wasn't prepared for her best friend to yell at her stepped back.

"What?"

"Darcy you cannot date Loki!"

"Just why not?"

Darcy said not angry hoping her best friend was joking.

"Because he tried to kill us all and enslave us!"

"That was a long time ago Jane!"

"I'm sorry Darcy I know he's Thor's brother and all but Loki is not him. You won't have the same relationship we have. It will be different."

Darcy couldn't believe her. Why does she think Darcy could possibly want a relationship like her and Thor's.

"Exactly! I don't want a relationship like Yours Jane. I want one of my own. I realize Loki is not like Thor, in fact that's what I like about him!"

"But think about it Darcy your relation could never go far. I mean he is immortal and you're not."

" Okay? and neither are you."

"But Thor has declared me to his parents as his intended and I will be given immortality"

"And who's to say that at some point Loki won't make it to that stage. Right now it's new, and we care about each other. Frankly that's all that matters to me."

"Loki is not a good guy Darcy. As much as he says he's changed, I'm just not sure he won't hurt you."

"And that's for me to worry to about, not you. I'm a big girl Jane I don't need you to hold my hand."

"Be real Darcy I have been there when you bring these losers home and every time you regret it. You do not have the best choice in men."

Jane said matter of factually hoping to stop Darcy from doing this.

"Once again my problem not yours! And yes you've been there for me after a break up but that's what best friends are supposed to do! How many days did I drag you out of bed after Thor didn't come back! How times did I clean your house, and go head to head with Fury for you to get what you needed to work on your projects! I didn't do it so I can rub it in your face, I did it because that's what best friends do in case you haven't noticed."

Darcy was so mad she was in the verge of tears.

"I'm just trying to look out for you Darcy."

"No, no you're not. There is some other reason your acting like this, I just can't place what it is. But in all honesty I don't give a fuck. All I know is that I'm going to keep seeing Loki. This is new, for the both of us, and I for damn sure don't need you trampling all over the steam before the petals have had a chance to grow. I'm old enough to make my own choices."

"This choice could get you hurt!"

"I'm so shocked, you think Thor would appreciate you talking about his brother, the one he fought to have in his life by the way, like this Jane. But you know what maybe that's your relationship, that is between you and him. Like I said I'm going to keep seeing Loki until we decide we don't want to anymore. Now I think I'm going to go watch over everyone like I assigned, I promised my Boyfriend I'd have his back, and I'm sure I'll be watching over yours too. Besides I think Thor would not be happy if I pushed you off a 60 story building."

Darcy said, turning away from Jane, leave her to glare at her back and Pepper to stare at the friends in sadness and shock...

Oh no! Jane Jane Jane! Why is Jane acting like this... oh no! grrr

Until next time...
