Darcy had fallen asleep listening to one of her bands on her Ipod completely forgetting about Supernatural being played on the TV. The house was much quieter without her awake and conscious and Loki found himself bored of watching Jane and Thor ogle each other like teenage lovestruck's. The yells and shouts from the TV made him wonder how Darcy was still asleep during it though he knew she had a slight obsession with the shows that played on that television, so she was most likely used to it.
The dreaded cat that he hated with a passion was curled up on the seat beside Darcy's where he would normally sit. He found himself rather missing Asgard despite his own race's change on it, once the thick polluted ridden air of Midgard started to catch up with himself he daydreamed of being in Asgard's fine garden's or ruins. After about half an hour of meaningless little conversation with anyone or anything he realized he was bored; in need of some mischief.
And what better than to do Mischief with taking Darcy along with him. Once Thor and Jane were once again in bed despite it being midday he made his way to behind the couch and glanced at Darcy for a bit, startled at how calm she looked. He lightly moved her arm in hopes of waking her up, he couldn't be too loud or Jane and Thor may come to investigate what they were doing. After around 20 seconds of waiting for Darcy to awaken he began to grow impatient.
''Wake up.'' Loki hissed loudly causing her to open her eyes widely and look at him with fright. Her mascara smeared lightly just underneath her eyes and her skin slightly paler than usual he wondered if it had been a good idea, her in a bad mood could never be good.
''Oh, God. What do you want? I was having an awesome dream where-''
''Hush. How do you feel about doing some mischief?'' He questioned realizing just how bored he was, she eyed him skeptically and sat up, he tried his best to ignore her very low singlet or they probably would do a lot more than mischief.
''Where?'' Darcy asked with a smirk, standing up seeing that Thor and Jane weren't thee, figures. He watched her hair fall over her left eye slightly, how the dark brown strands were in contrast to her pale smooth skin.
''Take us to someplace with lot's of Midgardian's, but not somewhere where it's too busy and small.'' He said, he pursed his lips a little as soon as he'd said it, it had sounded more like an order and a demand rather than a conversation. Darcy raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow up at him for a second before nodding slowly with a smirk.
''Okay the lake it is. By the way you might wanna tone down with the Prince-y stuff, It's kinda hot but kinda weird too. Oh and I'm bringing my Ipod!'' Darcy exclaimed with a grin before making her way up the stairs with her beloved Ipod and going into the bathroom.
Somehow the word ''hot'' meant attractive in Midgard terms, he remembered Darcy telling him that when they had passed a few posters of people, whilst Darcy called them hot. It didn't make sense to him, hot was just a temperature, but that was just another Midgardian saying he didn't comprehend.
Clenching his hands in front of himself, he could feel the magic within himself. It was still only limited, as Odin had taken his powers away silently as he'd seen him last, but it was enough to do a little mischief. Running a hand through his hair he pursed his lips, it was beginning to get longer than he would have liked, he quite liked it the length it was before he'd sent the Frost Giant's into Asgard on his brother's big day. Apparently hair grew quicker on Midgard.
Hearing Darcy's footsteps on the stairs he turned to her, his gaze softening, her eyes still held a haunted look in them.
''I believe I need a...what do you call them? Haircut? Usually I could use my magic, but well, it's limited as of now.'' Loki began to say looking pointedly at the floor as she made her way to the door muttering something about 'stupid alien' and entering the car. Loki took a deep breath in, he wondered how Darcy hadn't really spoken much about what had happened or even in her past, perhaps mortals liked to do those idiotic things. In Asgard, when something horrible happened they would celebrate that it was in the past and had giant feasts and dances, not that Loki liked to really participate in them.
He walked out to the car and entered it shutting the door harshly. He quietly glanced over and noticed the small trickles of tears that had dried against Darcy's skin like snake tracks, he also noticed she had changed her clothes into a silk green top and rather short pants, revealing her long slender legs. The green set off her alabaster skin much like the Asgardian dress she had worn.
''Buy more green clothes.'' He murmured as the car began to speed up, Darcy gave him an eyebrow raised.
''Yes, your highness.'' Darcy scoffed sarcastically.
Loki set back into the seat and rolled his eyes peering out the window for what seemed like centuries, he pondered what was happening on Asgard until the car abruptedly stopped. He noticed they were at a lake like Darcy had said and both got out of the car, the lake was in the middle of the complex and was surrounded by mini bridge rails and the cement pavement which went around it, there was one of those playground things little Midgardian children played on and was occupied, there were seats here and there and a few couples walked or sat eating and speaking. He narrowed his eyes, this was all so human.
''So...what'd you wanna do?'' Darcy asked, a smile had played it's way on her lips as she gazed at the lake. He was reminded of how young she really was, still full of optimistic dreams despite what happened to her. He reminded himself not to think of it, but she really didn't have that much longer left with him in every meaning of the word, he would most likely be heading back to Asgard sooner or later and if she did end up living for another 40 plus years, it still was such a short time in Loki's mind, he himself being centuries old already.
''...Loki?'' Her voice cut his thoughts off and he looked at her sharply, clenching his fists together for a moment.
''Mmm...how about this?'' He questioned, conjuring the magic within his fingers and using what was left of it at it's very limit and produce a large black snake and controlled it maneuvering it towards the infatuated couple which sat on the children's swings gazing at each other with pathetic ''love''. He watched as there eyes became filled with dread as it slithered it's way towards them, the girl screaming in fright tears spilling from her eyes, perhaps humans let there phobias in the way too.
''Stop it, Loki, stop!'' Darcy shouted grabbing his cold hand which was half pointed at the couple who seemed to frozen to move until Loki made it slither away back into the long grass which he would retrieve, Loki frowned at Darcy and watched her as she stared at him in disbelief.
''I didn't take Miss Darcy as much of a-''
''Shut up. Just shut up. Don't you realize how scared she is?! It almost bit her!'' Darcy shouted loudly, by now half of the lake's occupants had left out of fear of the giant snake trying to get their kids away from the danger.
He knew she was merely over-reacting, but why? He stood silently enduring her never-ending chastisizing and watched her as the anger seemed to build up in her ocean-color eyes. She through a hand roughly in her own hair and pulled on the strands harshly, most likely trying to stop the tears in her eyes from spilling. He assumed this was the shock of everything that had happened catching up. As he watched her, he felt his stomach churn and it was an unpleasant feeling, without a second thought he moved towards her quickly tugging her hand off of her hair and placing it in his own hand folding it into a fist inside of his own. He gently pushed her back against a tree behind them releasing her hand, a look of hopelessness seemed to wash its way onto Darcy's features and before he knew it she grabbed him in a fierce hug sobbing into his chest. He felt her warmth around him as she held him, he placed his head ontop of her own, it wasn't an unpleasant feeling to say the least.
He ran a hand through her soft curls and tangles, he wondered if that was what he had looked like when his father had finally told him what he was and how no one had been there to help him or enlighten him. A twinge of pain ran through him as he imagined if he had really stayed in Asgard leaving Darcy to be in this...state.
'' How romantic.'' A monotone voice said from behind them causing them to break apart instantly, Loki turned and peered at the man in front of them.
It was a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, someone neither of them were up to dealing with that day.
Sorry it took so long to update I've been away for a while. This chapter was basically just trying to put more emotions in, especially Darcy's, the next chapters will be longer and more eventful. Thanks so much to reviews and btw I don't think I'll be finishing this too soon if I end up ending it, there will probably be a sequel :) Please review :)!
