Epilogue: A Burden With Glorious Purpose:

*6 Months later:*

"Loki when I said try a take me on, I certainly didn't mean for you to take me literally."

Darcy was laying across a bed in the training room at Vanaheim, which apparently changes to whatever you want. It was kind of like the room of requirement in Harry Potter. It was awesome, and certainly had its usefulness.

"Oh my little mortal, do not pretend you do not enjoy our distractions."

Loki said looking at her out the corner of his eye.

"Oh trust me, I enjoy it. If I didn't you'd be in a heap lot more trouble. I just don't think we can waste anymore training time."

"Darcy you are progressing finely, you have control over you shield and strength. Your eyes have even stopped flickering when you are angry plus your hand to hand is nearly flawless, Love."

"It's just... I don't know I feel weird Loki, like I'm missing something, something important and for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. And as of late I'm getting the feeling something is coming and I need to be prepared to stop it."

"What do you think is coming Darcy?"

"That's the scary part, I don't know..."

Fury knew that he would have to tell them eventually, he just didn't know how. Hill had already said the last time he kept important secrets that should have been told it got him punched in the face, but Howard was his best friend, and he was one of the smartest sons of bitches he's ever known. If he said telling Darcy and Tony the truth about themselves because of Maria, could mean the end of the world as they knew it, then he should trust him right? But deep down Nick Fury knew the truth; he knew Howard Stark had his own insecurities that led to Darcy being given away, and that it wasn't anybody's fault but the man who attacked Maria. He shut Darcy out because he saw her as the enemy looking to tear his family apart. He resented her more than he ever told Maria, he also slightly resented Maria for the power she had, but refused to use. So the whole BS about letting them feel alone in this world, to make it safer for everyone else was just crap. Maria may have let her husband think he won by sending Darcy away, but she had always planned on getting her children back together, and it had started by writing Nick Fury a letter to be delivered by a spell in the event of her death, about making sure that one day Tony went back to visit their family home, if he no longer lived there. Once he found the missing piece to his heart he could unlock its secrets. Now Nick Fury had of course visited the old neglected mansion multiple times to see if there was anything to find that could help SHIELD, but he found nothing. He knew he had to show Tony and Darcy the letter, and then have them find whatever Maria was talking about, who's to say that she didn't leave behind some power of her own that SHIELD could really use...

Malekith was planning his revenge. They all deserved to suffer, and most importantly Loki Odinson deserved to suffer. The little twit thought he had defeated Malekith the Accursed? For shame if he thought it that easy! He had plans to make him suffer, pay for ever turning his back on him! He had big plans and they all started with that little mortal he had fallen in love with. Oh yes, she would suffer too...
