''What are you doing, Lady Darcy?'' Thor asked questionably, looking at the Midgardian girl strangely. She was perched up in her seat looking out of the window, she had her glasses on and from the looks of her she looked clearly frustrated.
Loki sat on the longer couch watching her with almost anger, mostly frustration at something. He had pursed lips and his eyes looked glassier than usual.
''She has been sitting like that for a long time, I do believe she thinks she may spot Hawkeye and the Black Widow somehow. I have told her countless times she won't, at least not with her eyesight.'' Loki said his thin lips lifting into a smirk.
Unfortunately he had awoken earlier than usual to find she was already downstairs reading a book, she complained that it was nothing like she imagined not even close to ''Fifty Shades Of Gray'' whatever that had meant. She had told him it was corny and stupid, she soon began looking out the window and he had nothing else better to do than watch her.
At first it was memorable watching her, for she looked much more innocent than she so obviously claimed to be and looked as if nothing could harm her. Soon he became bored as she wouldn't speak back to him.
'' Actually I have, Mischief. I can see Hawkeye right now, he's on that roof all the way over there. You were the one who said I was good at observing, remember? ''
''Yes but it took you well over half an hour to spot him.'' Loki drawled sitting up in the couch uncomfortably, she turned around and looked at him wondering what had gone wrong in their conversation. He looked away and her eyes flashed with rememberance.
''Whoa what? Half an hour...I've gotta go. '' Darcy said getting up quickly just as Jane came down the stairs with a worried look, Loki flickered his eyes up to hers and frowned.
''Where is it you're going, human?'' Loki asked standing up.
''Um... I've kind of got a date thingy, I guess.'' Darcy said biting her lip, sidestepping past Thor but being stopped by Loki's tall form, Jane looked at her with wide eyes.
Loki felt all the calmness his body had held rush out of him to be replaced by bitter bitter anger and what was it jealousy. He clenched his fists and grit his teeth, he felt his body shake horribly as he looked at her. A date with a human. Another man who no undoubtedly Loki already despised.
''Brother.'' Thor warned watching him cautiously though Darcy hadn't seen his stature as Jane had started talking to her.
''Relax. I mean it's only Zane from S.H.I.E.L.D I'm pretty sure we shouldn't worry about the dude who's working for the same place Hawkeye and Natasha.'' Darcy said rolling her eyes at the thought of the hot nerd being anything but sweet, she felt a little guilty not telling them but it was her business, right?
''But still, don't you think you should wait a bit until this all blows over. Look I'm sure he is a great guy but you don't know a thing about him!'' Jane reasoned walking to Thor's side who still looked at his shaking brother warily, he saw the craze in his eyes and soon so did Jane who parted her lips and looked at Darcy meaningfully.
Darcy looked up to meet Loki's furious broken eyes and she stepped back a little tilting her head frowning, what was up with him this time? She heard the couple leave leaving the god of mischief and herself in the same room inches apart.
''Sup Mischief?'' Darcy asked tucking her hair behind her ear and setting the book in her hands down, she looked up as she heard a half scoffing half laughing sound coming from Loki.
''Is that all you have to say for yourself?'' Loki hissed into her face, her eyes wandered down to his hands which were clenched and gulped. What would he end up doing? His hands fell flat to his side as he looked down himself and took a deep breathe.
''Look why are you all so worried? This is my life! I can date whoever the hell I want to!''
''You are putting yourself in danger, stupid girl.'' Loki yelled, it was probably the loudest Darcy had ever heard him yell and she was taken aback by it. She looked up at him and clenched her teeth together running her tongue along the back of them.
''I don't see how it's anymore dangerous than being around you.'' Darcy said coldly giving him a glare before sidestepping him and storming out the front door muttering things to herself.
Loki was left standing there staring out at nothingness, his teeth were clenched so harshly he wondered if they'd chipped. He felt the stupid tears that he got when he was on the edge of breaking start to form in his eyes and he fell back into the chair putting his head in his hands and running them over his face, placing them over his mouth frustratingly.
He shut his eyes as he heard the car leave in anger and sat back wishing away the silly realm behind him.
Darcy sat in the car by herself realizing how silent it was without anyone else there. She couldn't understand why it mattered that much if she wanted to go see someone, besides it was just coffee.
Coffee.
She rolled her eyes at the thought of Loki thinking she was in danger for doing this, stupid Gods. The sooner the both of them left the better. It was only seven more months and they'd be leaving, seven months.
She'd miss them sure, even the god of mischief was growing on her but after today she wondered what it would be like once she got back there.
She sighed pulling up the car in the parking lot near the diner and pulled her handbag out from the back and walked out. It was colder than the days before and she wore a zipped up long black jacket with grey pants and leather boots as well as a scarf which was wrapped tightly around her neck, breathing in she felt the cold air fill her lungs.
Zane was already in the diner and luckily it had a heater on, and he'd already ordered their coffee.
She slid into the booth opposite him and smiled at him, he wore a jacket and jeans and the coldness had left him with a cute flushed face and his black hair was slightly slicked back. For a second her heart dropped and she almost swore it looked like Loki and her smile faltered but she blinked and it was back to Zane, she shook her head at her thoughts and took a sip of the warm drink.
''Hope you don't mind me ordering them early.'' Zane said with a grin at her and she shook her head.
''Sorry for being late, drama problems.'' Darcy said rolling her eyes, she coughed frowning, the drink tasted syrupy and strange, like someone had added something extra to it.
''Do these taste right to you?'' She questioned looking around the place, her eyes caught on a flask that sat on Zane's booth and she connected the dots straight away.
Her heart was beating so quickly she could barely breathe though she looked up at him with a fake smile luckily he was looking down at his frowning, his eyes slid up to hers and he shook his head.
''No it's probably just the cold weather messing with your head.'' Zane said with a soft chortle of his, she felt physically sick either from the stuff he put in her drink or from him doing it she didn't no.
She brought up her phone and pressed the ringtone she'd set up and pretended to be on the phone.
''Oh my god, really?''
''Great. No! No don't worry, dude I'll be right there. Hold on.''
She said into her speaker to no one on the end, she turned her phone off and looked at Zane as apologetically as she could manage to someone who had just tried to poison her.
''I'm so sorry but I've got to go, Jane needs me because Thor and Loki are fighting and apparently I'm so special I'm the one that should deal with it. I'm really sorry.'' Darcy babbled on, she was a horrible, horrible liar and cursed Loki for his ability to lie easily.
Zane smiled and nodded.
''It's fine Darcy. Maybe we could re schedule later?'' He asked, and for a sick second it sounded like he was hopeful. Darcy swallowed whatever was in her throat and smiled, getting up and leaving walking to her car.
Once she was inside she turned her phone on and whimpered slightly, if someone in S.H.I.E.L.D was doing this God knows what people outide of it were doing.
She felt herself become more tired by the minute, her stomach was clenched up so badly she felt like she might vomit any second. As soon as she pulled up into the driveway her eyelids began to droop horribly and she barely pulled the keys out of the ignition. She felt the inability to move and her limbs felt so weak, she felt Thor's arms carry her inside and lay her on the couch.
She groaned sitting up slightly.
''...Jane...he p-poisoned me. Blur-'' Darcy felt and tasted the iron like flavor of blood as it came out of her mouth without her consent wrenching her insides, she felt tears come out of her eyes and splash onto the floor below her and her whole mouth felt like copper and rust.
''What happened to her now?'' Loki's voice cleared her head from near the stairs though he was behind her, she could hear the faint worry in his words and she fought the urge to throw up on him.
''We...we aren't sure. She said something about poisoning. Look I really don't think that's..''
Darcy felt his cool hand on her forehead and the strange tingling feeling run through her body, almost instantly she began to stop throwing up. The exhausted feeling worsened however as he kept using the magic on her, she could barely stand up straight and everything around her was becoming a mess.
She felt his cool hand now on her back keeping her upright.
''Darcy, go to sleep.'' Loki murmured quietly feeling her body immediately go limp in his arms and he lay her down on the couch, his whole soul was filled with dread as he looked at her.
Her skin had grown paler than his and he didn't like it. He had the anger which he could easily use to kill Zane, though he'd much rather torture him till he couldn't fight it any longer and his body gave out, though Loki didn't think that was an option on earth, they had much better torturing devices in Asgard. He felt a feeling in his chest he'd never felt as he looked at the Midgardian women, it was a mixture of fear and resentment for her, he couldn't stand the thought of her being hurt let alone dead.
If only the little human had listened, of course she was in danger going on a ''date'' with that arrogant fool.
He swore to himself the next time he would see the man that hurt her would be the day he died.
Thanks for reviews, faves and everything it means a lot. This wasn't the best chapter but i promise the next will be better :)
