Jane sighed for the thousandth time they'd gotten a lift from one of their co workers and had come home to find it was empty which at first they both didn't mind but a few hours later and there was still no show of the insane God and Darcy.

''This isn't like Darcy well it is but she would at least tell me she was going somewhere. Your brother wouldn't have done anything or hurt her would he?'' Jane blabbered out clenching her teeth as Thor's hand fell onto her should comfortingly and she breathed in and out.

''Loki may be mad but he would not harm her, infact I think he would rather harm himself than that. The two rather fancy eachother, I think.'' Thor said with a small grin, Loki had never had good luck with women before and he was more interested in reading those books of his and practicing magic than to fondle around with them which was good because most of the people of Asgard were frightened of him in some way and most only respected him because of his family and not his actions.

'' What are you talking about? No no no no, Darcy and Loki?'' Jane said and a tiny bit of her overprotective sister side unraveled and Thor only chuckled at her and walked into the bedroom waiting for her to follow.

Darcy and Loki were still in the car staring at eachother unblinking and silent, fortunately his mother and Loki once played this ''staring contest'' many times when he was a child and he favored that then listening to Thor talking about getting the throne, Darcy was biting her lip so she wouldn't smile and her eyes were beginning to water. She finally blinked once and let out a groan whilst Loki had a triumphant grin on his face chuckling softly.

''How do you do that!?'' Darcy exclaimed for she had lost 5 times now and oh how she envied the God beside her.

''Mother and I used to play that game when I was young.'' Loki said pursing his lips softly and glancing at the girl who looked away quietly, her hair was falling into her face and he wanted nothing more than to tuck the strands behind her ear though he knew he couldn't.

''You know, I bet I'd win a thumb war Mischief.'' Darcy teased flicking her tongue once again along her full lips tauntingly, Loki dragged his eyes up from them to her eyes which held nothing more than innocent competition in them which he was grateful for, barely anyone he knew was innocent. He let a smile pass his lips momentarily showing his teeth and Darcy's heart stuttered at it, it was the first genuine smile of the God she had seen and it was the most beautiful one she had witnessed. He looked happy and content for once.

''And what is that, dare I ask.'' Loki said returning his lips to a small smirk at the girl who smacked her lips together and hmmed as a response. He watched spectically skeptically as she brought her hand in the middle of them and Loki slowly put his infront of hers with his thumb sticking out like hers as she took her hand and held it strangely so that their fingers were almost inertwined. He could almost feel Darcy's heart race as she did so and he pursed his lips.

''Jesus you're so cold!'' Darcy half-shouted jolting up in her seat though she didn't move her hand away she glanced at him warily wondering if he had gone into shock or something, maybe that's why he was even having a normal conversation with her. He shook his head at her.

''I'm fine. What is this game than human?'' He asked using her nickname to distract her which brought a scowl to her face, nevertheless she moved her thumb so it went on the opposite side of his and she began saying a strange chant that sounded almost like a spell to Loki who had no idea what she was doing.

''One, two, three, four I declare a thumb war, five, six, seven, eight I used this hand to masturbate, bow kiss fight!'' Darcy said giggling like a young girl, Loki's eyes widened at her chant and she stopped laughing.

''Right sorry, bad joke. But what you do Mischief is you move your thumb like this when I do, then you bow like this, kiss them like this and then fight like this and whoever gets the other person's thumb down wins, it requires like heaps of skill.'' Darcy murmured raising her eyebrows playfully and looking at his expression which was a mix of amusement and uncertainty.

''Very well, what happens once I win?'' Loki asked with amusement wishing he could show his mother this game as well, though Darcy showing it to him was strange. He wondered why she was even doing it.

''You mean when I win and um, the winner has to deal with Jane and Thor once we get back, deal? '' Darcy asked him getting ready.

''What do you mean?''

''They're gonna' think we are totally banging it up somewhere right now and when we get back they're going to flood us with questions I'm too tired to answer.'' Darcy blabbered on rolling her eyes at Jane's future questions, Loki pursed his lips again trying not to grin at Darcy's way of speaking about making love.

''Ah, Deal.'' Loki said as Darcy grinned beginning the chant again and he found the game to be as enjoyable as the staring competition.

'' Bow, Kiss, Fight!" Darcy said again and they began doing the strange thing, he knew Darcy was tired and he let her win easily as she put her thumb on top of his and counted to 3.

''Easy. Step up to my level, Mischief. I used to play that game all the time when I was little.'' Darcy trailed off as if she wasn't with him, she looked sad then and he wondered why she would always go unnoticed by Jane all of the time. Loki pursed his thin lips once again and looked at their hands still holding strangely like that and he liked the way her soft skin felt against his cool skin and the blush that was painted onto her cheeks. Loki realized she must have been doing something to create the feeling in his chest it must have been her mind games, there was no way he would stoop so low to be falling in love with a human, he would not become just like his brother at all.

Unconsciously he was slightly rubbing his thumb against her palm calmingly and he didn't realize at all but Darcy noticed it, she noticed it a hell of a lot more. She pulled away as she saw bright light's of a car in the rear view mirror and stepped outside waving to the car.

Darcy opened the house's door ready for the flood of questions which she would ignore, she couldn't forget what had just happened between them whatever it was. She noticed what happened between other people all the time, she was someone who would try to save other people or watch them silently and think about it instead of act. There was no way the God of Mischief would care about her in the slightest way imaginable, she forced herself to believe. SHe would rather have flings than have to go through emotions so excessively.

''Darcy! Where the Hell have you been, what have you been doing? You haven't done anything have you?'' Jane asked as soon as the door opened, Thor stood shirtless in the kitchen and Jane's hair was in a mess and Darcy gave her a dirty look.

''Jesus relax, Mischief and I, well I accidentally maybe drove the car into a ditch and no I have not had sex with him and question is what have you been doing? If you've been screwing eachother in my favorite kitchen I will kill you.'' Darcy said darkly walking over to the living room opposite the kitchen and laying down on the couch ignoring Jane's wide mouth.

Loki walked in looking miserable as usual and slanted a strange look to Thor who was shirtless and his human girl with a deep sigh he looked over to Darcy's head on the couch and pursed his lips running a hand through his hair. Luckily Jane didn't like speaking to Loki and he didn't care less walking over to the stairs and walking up them without a word.

He was glad to get away from everybody but when he walked passed Darcy's room he noticed a letter sitting ontop of her bed that hadn't been there hours ago. At first he thought it strange t owalk into her chambers without her being there but everyone was arguing downstairs so he walked in picking it up curiously.

Darcy,

I know where they've taken you and don't think I don't. I'm the one who put this little letter in here and apparently Thor and Jane are oblivious to the fact that someone could get into this house so easily! S.H.I.E.L.D won't even know who I am and you won't tell them now will you Darcy? That Loki person is getting too close for my liking and you remember what happened to your last fling, it didn't end too well for him. Remember I'm always watching and there's nothing anyone can do about it, I even know your phone number.

Missed you too, Darling.

Loki looked around once he read the words anger raged inside of him and grabbed the note walking down the stair's to hear Darcy's snoring. Thor looked at his brother and hid Jane behind him as they'd been kissing and Odin knows what, he looked down to the note in his brother's hand.

''Oh God not another one.'' Jane said worriedly looking at Darcy and back at Loki. He glowered at the human.

''What do you mean? Who is this from?!'' Loki spat out at her losing his control though he didn't shout as not to wake Darcy.

''I-I didn't think he would... It's one of her crazy ex's, he suffered a mental breakdown years ago after she split with him but she hasn't got a letter in years, he must have seen you with her once or something I don't -''

''He knows I have been conversing with her, he has called her. I will kill him if he touches her brother I swear to Odin!'' Loki accidentally shouted loud enough for Darcy to hear and she woke up with a muffled sound walking towards them with her eyes half shut and a hand on the side of her face.

''What are you guys shouting for? Let me sleep'' She groaned standing beside Loki half asleep, he handed the letter to her which she jumped at clasping a hand over her mouth as she read it shaking her head letting out half strangled noises. Her heart was beating so fast she feared she would have a heart attack and her eyes flung up to Thor, Jane's and Loki's with worry.

''I have to go then. I can't let him hurt you guy's.'' Darcy trailed off her eyes looked so far away and distant they thought she might faint as she tried to walk past Loki who held a firm grip on her wrist as Jane stepped infront of her.

'''Darcy stop it. You know we aren't letting you go. Especially when you don't even know where he is. First thing tomorow we'll bring this to S.H.I.E.L.D and Thor will check the house out to make sure he's not here.'' Jane said firmly as if she were still speaking on terms as she was her boss but she now felt like a sister to Darcy in some strange way considering she had been there when things had happened with Thor and Loki.

''He'll kill you! I can't..'' Darcy became speechless and felt Loki tug at her wrist again making her turn towards him but all she was greeted with was his chest and since he was the only one close enough she wrapped her arms around his back letting out tears of fright. He stood there motionless as Jane raked her hand through her hair and walked up the stairs to talk to Thor, Loki wouldn't let this man whoever it was hurt Darcy he decided. He sighed deeply and remained quiet chewing on the inside of his cheek and putting his hand on Darcy's upper back calmingly, her hair was soft and he wrapped a lock around his finger trying to calm himself down, not another thing he would lose, not again. He had already lost his mind.

''What are you doing, Mischief?'' Darcy murmered through crying.

''Nothing, hush Human.''
