Darcy awoke in the morning the next day sweating as it was hot once again.
Thor was the only one awake as far as she knew and he was in the kitchen attempting to make pancakes though she could almost smell the burning of them from her room. Darcy took the mix away from him rolling her eyes and smiling at the blonde God's attempt to make them, he gave her a warm smile and stood beside her rubbing his hands awkwardly.
''Where's Jane and Mischief?'' Darcy asked flipping the new pancakes over humming a song that she now remembered, something about being forever young. It used to be her favorite song when she was younger and now she really wanted to hear it.
''Jane is...resting and I believe so is Loki, though he barely sleeps I don't know why he still is.'' Thor said hesitantly in that gruff voice of his coughing slightly, Darcy frowned at him and sighed.
''Loki may seem distant but he does appreciate what you did for him.'' Thor said smiling a little looking down at the human who annoyed Jane so much, he felt so much guilt over last night that he felt he may just go and punch things but Darcy was being rather nice.
''Thanks, Thor but I don't think he really cares all that much that someone saved him. Have you seen the cat anywhere? I havn't seen it since yesterday.'' Darcy said frowning as she looked around for it, she looked tired noted Thor, dark circles formed underneath her eyes even with her glasses on he could see them and her skin was paler than usual.
''I believe Loki took it to his room last night, he told me you gave him permission.'' Thor said frowning and Darcy dropped the spatula widening her eyes and running up the stairs with panic.
She slammed the door open to reveal Loki sitting on the bed looking frustratingly at the kitten which seemed paralyzed, not moving infront of him.
''Loki if you're doing some weird magic stuff to make it turn into some Asgardian monster I'll kill you.'' Darcy snarled wondering what spells he'd done to it already, Odin had let him have very minimal sorcery skills left but he still had some and she didn't know what he'd use it for. Loki pursed his lips for some reason at her comment and then looked up.
''I am merely testing it's ability to withstand my magic.'' Loki said returning his eyes to the animal infront of him.
''Yeah and I'll test my ability to kill someone on you, stop using it on him. '' Darcy said biting her lip, she could smell the newly burnt pancakes once again and sighed grabbing the kitten as Loki snapped his fingers it returned to normal and jumped off of her arm she cried out in pain as it's claws dug into her wrist painfully. Loki rolled his eyes and pursed his lips.
''Once again I'm reminded of why Misgardian's would not be anywhere near good in battle.'' Loki said sighing and resting his head on the pillow of the bed shutting his eyes.
''Shut it. You wouldn't do any good in a Mario Kart race.'' Darcy snapped rolling her eyes at his confusion.
''What is this Mario Kart race, who is he?'' Loki asked frowning, Loki's hair was slicked upright in small damp spikes which didn't look like him at all, he wore a loose fitting green sweater thing and long jeans.
''Aren't you hot in that Mischief?'' Darcy asked trailing her eyes over his clothes with an eyebrow raised, Loki sneered letting his emotions and hatred get in the way of things again, once again reminded of what a monster he was.
''I'm not as susceptible to the weather on this realm as you.'' Loki spat shaking his head sitting up and looking at her with narrowed eyes as she shook her head letting her dark curls float around her head strangely.
'' Thor still wears lighter clothes when it's hot idiot.'' Darcy said smirking in satisfaction as Loki blinked at her observation.
''My, my for a girl that can't even do her job properly you sure are good at observing things around you, I wonder if I morphed reality would you notice things were different, I could even make you forget about everything, everyone Darcy.''
Darcy widened her eyes at what he said, though she knew he could not do any kind of Merlin magic yet she knew he was capable of it when he was at full power. The way he said it and her name left shivers down her spine and made her more intrigued than ever and she felt herself leaning forward. The God of Mischief had maneuvered himself so he was now standing infront of her, her nose almost touching his shoulder.
''Lady Darcy, Loki I believe some agents from S.H.I.E.L.D are downstairs, shall I make them these pancakes as well?'' Thor's gruff voice said from the door outside thankfully he didn't open the door, Darcy suddenly felt the weight in her chest leave and she reaised Loki had just used magic on her. She didn't look up from Loki's gaze when she answered Thor.
''No it's okay Thor, I'll be down there in a sec.'' Darcy said frowning as she heard his footsteps retreat.
''Don't you ever use that on me again.'' Darcy said emotionlessly giving Loki a glare from underneath her glass's lens, turning and walking out of the room leaving.
''This is Agent's Romanov and Hawkeye or Agent Barton, whatever one you prefer. They are very well trained and will be staying around the perimeter of this house until the threat is removed and I was wondering Miss Lewis if you have any more information about the man or have you had any contact since the letter?'' Said Coulson curiously.
''Thanks but I don't want 007's assistants to get hurt, he has killed people, ya' know? And he hasn't talked to me since the note, he likes toying with people he probably won't be around here.'' Darcy said causing a small smirk from the two agents faces to appear.
''So have we kid.'' Hawkeye said causing the red head to look away a little shifting uncomfortably, Hawkeye had a long bow and arrow kit slung behind his back and they both wore tight leather clothes.
''So Katniss where do you get your clothes from?'' Darcy asked curiously looking at the man, he was handsome in a weird way, he wasn't Darcy's type but the red head beside obviously wanted him or him her. She let another smirk fall to her lips at Darcy's comment.
''Let's just say you can't get them from the stores.'' Romanov said just as Loki emerged from the stairs causing Agent Barton and Romanov to tense up.
''Bummer. I'd love to see you in one of those, Mischief.'' Darcy said raising her eyebrows at the suit, not seeing the Agent's expressions. Loki returned their cold glares and flickered his eyes from Darcy to them, forgetting what she'd said. She remained quiet and looked between Loki and the Agents with amusement as a silence fell.
''It's not like he killed...well he probably did...but still he hasn't done anything to Earth for almost four months now, pretty good for an Asgardian martian man.'' Darcy said with realization had Loki killed people in Asgard apart from when he went in battles, she hadn't even thought about him killing a person before, he had ended someones life almost indefinitely before he came to Earth.
Loki watched the ticking work in her eyes as she thought over what he'd done, he felt his stomach drop and his heart race, he couldn't be another disappointment to someone he loved - Loki shook the thought right out of his head before he even questioned it, he did not think that way. He was Loki of Asgard.
The feeling still remained and he pursed his thin lips looking at her.
A human.
Misgardian.
Darcy Lewis was playing mind games again.
