I hope last chapter was a good shock for you all :) I enjoyed writing that chapter very much, and I loved reading the reviews even more. So saddly I will be posting the last two chapters of A Burden With Glorious Purpose today and the Epilouge, but it will not be in vain! Because I have already started writing the sequel! *CUE FIREWORKS HERE* I have big plans for my Darcy and Loki, and the rest of the Avengers, and that can't be cleared up in two chapters, and the story line I have planned requires it's own new story! So be on the look out for:

*All We Needed Was A Purpose*~The Sequel to A Burden With Glorious Purpose

:)

Chapter 20: A Burden with Glorious Purpose

Darcy rushed over to help Tony off the floor, although her own head was spinning. Howard and Maria Stark? Her parents?! What? Steve and Bruce helped her get Tony situated in a chair, while Nat, got a cold towel and some more water. Tony came to rather quickly, and Darcy couldn't look him in the eye just yet, she turned to Fury, her anger evident. Her eyes glowed and she grabbed Fury by the neck.

"Is it true?"

"Agent Lewis..."

"ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION, DIRECTOR FURY WERE HOWARD AND MARIA STARK MY REAL PARENTS?!"

She shouted at him, she was not in the mood for any evasions any more. Nobody moved to help the director, and Loki stood close enough to stop her from killing him, but far enough away to let Darcy handle the situation.

"Yes, I can e...explain I...if you let my neck go Darcy."

She dropped her hand and found Tony standing next to her.

"Make it quick before the sidewalk in front of this tower has a new red paint job."

Tony growled out, wanting to do nothing but punch the man in the face. Fury coughed a few times, and Clint was gracious enough to give him some water.

"Speak, Man of Fury"

Thor said, with an unhappy grimace spread across his face.

"A long time ago, when SHIELD first began Howard met Maria and they fell madly in love. It turned out Maria was hiding a big secret. She was not from around here, like we believed. In fact she was from somewhere much further. She told us she was from another realm, her people were called Elementals. She told us that they were in the midst of a war, which they weren't sure they would win. She ran here to the last place they would think to find her and had lived for a couple hundred years. Howard was shocked, but loved her regardless, and she gave birth to you Anthony. She had every intention of taking you and your father to be tested with Odin and made immortal with her, but she said she had to go home first, she wanted to rescue her family, but when she returned they had already perished, she was trying to grab a heirloom from her family home, when she was caught by the opposing force she ran from. She was held captive for the equivalent of three of our months, while she was there they took advantage of her, the result was her falling with Child, Darcy. She stumbled back to Earth somehow, and Howard took care of her, well at least until he saw she had fallen with child, and not his own. He flat out refused to raise another's child, especially when it was because he could not protect her. He wanted to get rid of you, but your mother refused. She couldn't change his mind on raising you, so she said that if he did not make sure you were raised safely, with a good family then she promised to take Tony and go to Asgard. She ensured he would never see his son again, so he agreed to her terms, but she could never contact you and you couldn't know the truth unless there was no other choice. She cried but agreed to it, only to keep you safe. She knew that she was one of the few Elementals left, so she had to protect you from her attackers, and let you go to the Lewis' who Howard paid a hell of a lot to keep you. It was mere accident that you were in this life again. Your powers had no reasons to manifest themselves obviously except your intelligence, until Thor appeared. I brought you here to keep an eye on you."

Darcy sat on the couch, a few tears running down her face. Loki sat next to her, pulling her closer. Tony sat on the other side.

"Why didn't you tell her once you decided to move her here?"

Steve asked Fury. Loki waved his hands releasing the two captives from their chairs. They stood, moving their bodies to get circulation back.

"I promised Howard a long time ago I wouldn't, and it wasn't necessary to tell her. I wanted her to exhibit her power if she had any, on her own; the low training was so that would have to rely on her power."

Said Fury. Loki shot up from his seat, and held onto Fury's coat, hoisting him off his feet.

"What if she didn't have any powers you sniveling bastard. She could have died!"

Loki was furious, only Thor's hand on his shoulder made him put the man down.

"Get out."

Tony said barely above a whisper to Fury and Hill. When they didn't move to leave he got up and before anyone could stop him he punched the shit out of Fury and would have kept going if Loki and Steve hadn't stopped him. Tony was panting heavily, rage twisting his features.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU MY DAMN SELF!"

He shouted snatching himself from the two holding him. Fury holding his face left the penthouse, Maria in tow. Tony was so angry he kicked his chairs out the way and stalked off to his room, and slammed the door to it.

Darcy watched him leave the room and put her head in her hands. She was so many emotions that she didn't know what to do. She was angry from having such a big secret kept from her, she was shocked that Tony was her brother, and she had no idea. Relieved because she knew the truth, scared because Thanos could be coming for her and even Tony though she wasn't sure if he had any powers, and she was confused, about what she was supposed to do, hurt about Howard's behavior.

Darcy felt the cold hands pull her into his arms and she broke. She never pictured Loki as the type to hold a girl while she cried, but here he was anyway. Holding her while she cried like a kid who dropped the top off their ice cream cone. Jane sat next to her and put her hand on Darcy's arm. Then they heard a loud crash from Tony's room. Then a few subsequent more crashing, then some glass breaking. Darcy got up and ran to his room, and Steve broke down the door to the room just in time for Darcy to see Tony's Iron Man suit flying away. Understanding why he left, she kept looking out the window while talking to Natasha.

"Hey Nat do me a favor."

"Anything."

"Call Pepper, make sure she knows Tony is okay and he is on his way to see her. Don't tell her what we found out, that's for Tony to tell her, just let her know he's going to need her."

"How do you know that's where he's going to?"

"Well he's going to stop for a large bottle of Whiskey, but I'm sure that's where he's going."

Darcy said knowing Tony. He needed Pepper, like she needed Loki. Natasha walked away doing what Darcy had asked of her, Clint followed her.

"Jarvis I'm sure you have both Tony's and my blood on file correct?"

"Yes Ms. Lewis."

"Good, run a DNA test on our blood. Tell me the results when it's ready."

"I will as soon as the results are ready."

"Thank You Jarvis."

Darcy said tiredly.

"I want a big ass juicy hamburger, greasy fries and a chocolate shake. When Nat and Clint come back, who is up for it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and she pulled Loki into her room, closing the door. She wasted no time jumping into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck. Caught off guard he held on tightly and began to kiss her roughly, her back slamming against her door. They kissed until she needed air.

"It's been too long since I was able to do that."

She said resting her head on the junction of his neck and shoulder. They kept kissing and she started trying to remove Loki's clothes in vain.

"My love, we do not have time for that. I do promise you that when we return I will apologize for everything thoroughly, and will prove my love to you all night long."

He kissed the tip of her nose.

"Good because we have a lot of time to make up for. That damn dream sex wasn't satisfying in the least."

Loki was shocked, and a bit confused. Had he used that spell while he was being controlled? Darcy noticing his look laughed and kissed his cheek.

"We can explain it to you later okay?"

He nodded and let her onto her feet so they could join the group. Darcy told him to go ahead, because she had to use the restroom. Once she left the room, she found her cellphone, she called Tony, who of course didn't answer.

"Tony, I understand why you flew off. I won't bother you anymore while your gone. I just wanted to let you know that when your ready we can talk about this. I'll be here for you like you were for me, I promise you that Tony Stark. I know this is going to sound weirdo coming from me, but I Love You. Okay Bye."

She hung up and left the room to join the others for dinner...

Anybody notice Tony was able to break out of Steve and Loki'sgrasp? Looks to me like somebody has a little super strength of his own...
