They both stared at the agent who looked at them with rather dead eyes, they were a strange silvery-grey, he was almost as tall as Loki and built almost like Thor but not as buff, he had dark brown short hair and a strong jaw, Darcy felt a wave of worry rush through her, he was only around his late twenties but he looked like he could do some serious damage to just about anyone. He wore the classic S.H.I.E.L.D dark outfit, looking out of place at the mildly happy lake place.
Darcy tried to ignore the fact she had broken down in front of someone who knew just about everything about her and had even hugged him. She reasoned she probably looked like some red faced monster at that point but decided to ignore it as she stood beside Loki feeling the tension between them, though she was fixated on the agent.
''S.H.I.E.L.D has sent me as a...bodyguard if you like for you, Miss Lewis.'' The man said, his voice was smooth and rich, but it also sounded intimidating and dominant. She gaped at his words and started shaking her head.
''No way...you're actually hired to protect me?'' Darcy asked wiping away the wetness on her face, too fixated in what was happening to care.
''No. I'm hired to protect anyone who S.H.I.E.L.D needs protecting, in this case it's you. I've already spoken with Miss Foster and Thor. I'll be staying at your home and I am not to let you out of my site unless necessary.''He said forcefully, keeping his body straight and unnervingly motionless.
Darcy stared at properly looked at him now and she saw the faint traces of scars that ran along the top of his eyebrow and down his left cheek and looked away quickly.
''Your job's going to be boring...'' Darcy mused licking her dry lips and trying to laugh but it came out as a small choking noise, she wanted something to drink. Not to her surprise the man only blinked back blankly and moved his eyes to Loki who admittedly was standing closer than an average friend would, however he had been hugging way to closely than any friend would and the man had already seen that.
''My name's Agent Taylor.'' He replied back about 30 seconds later, returning his glance to Darcy. She wanted to shrink away from his eyes as they held hers. What had happened to him?
''Oh, well, what's your first name? No offense I don't wanna' call you 'agent' and we are gonna' head home now so...'' Darcy trailed off glancing at Loki who looked like he was assessing Agent Taylor up, looking for danger which was ironic considering he probably was the danger to her.
''No, Miss Lewis. Just Agent Taylor is fine.'' Agent Taylor replied curtly. He obviously wasn't that happy to be there, although she couldn't really tell his emotions considering there were none on his face. Agent Taylor's silver-grey eyes glanced at Loki again with a little discomfort, apparently S.H.I.E.L.D wasn't used to dealing with God's of Mischief before, Darcy looked at both of them with a tiny grin on her face noticing the tense between them.
''I'll travel in my own car behind you.'' Agent Taylor said nodding and stepped out further into the sunlight revealing a few more light scars on his arms and legs as he turned and jogged to his car looking about for any kind of dangers, Darcy let out a long whistle and frowned.
''I wonder how he got those scars.'' Darcy mused to try and fill the silence she felt was coming. After all, what was she supposed to say after that breakdown of hers. She glanced up at Loki just as he slanted his green eyes towards her, a twitch of his mouth suggested he was fighting hard not to smile or grin at whatever he was thinking about but of course being Loki he tried to appear cold.
She shook her head and began to walk to her car feeling the headache that was beginning to appear as she had finished crying and now was in the sun, the strain. For some reason she felt a lot sicker than that though, ever since they'd been back she'd felt strange and light-headed and felt like she was about to vomit every 5 seconds, as if the effects of Asgard had left her body craving the air of it more. But that couldn't be it could it?
Darcy buckled up as Loki did as well.
''Loki?'' He turned to her almost immediately his eyes spinning with emotions, ''Did you...do you feel sick when you got here? And not from Midgardian's stupidness'' She said shaking her head, fixing her shirt so she could avert her eyes from him. When he looked at her like that, with wisdom she felt incredibly young and naive.
Loki raised a brow at her before shaking his head.
''No...not much. I only have been here a few times, but mostly I have just acted poorly to the air, it's polluted here beyond reason but visiting Asgard fixed me. Why?''
Darcy pursed her lips nodding cautiously before turning her attention to the rode driving out of the Lake's car space.
''Just wondering, Mischief.''
It wasn't long before they got back and when they had, Jane had taken Agent Taylor to the Guest Room to show him where he'd be sleeping. It was the last room down the long hallway where Darcy and Loki slept.
Loki and Darcy were sprawled out on the living room floor, Darcy was trying to teach him how to play the Wii. Apparently he thought it was one of the strangest things he'd ever encountered and said that it was pathetic but that was only because Darcy could play it better than him.
''NO! You have to shoot the zombies with the 2 button or they'll kill us!'' Darcy exclaimed hitting her Wii remote button violently, loud firing sounds came from the game just as Loki discarded the Wii remote into Darcy's lap with agitation shaking his head and leaning back against the front of the couch watching the screen. To his surprise Darcy had taken both remotes and was now playing for the both of them, ugly zombies seemed to disappear just as a title came up saying ''Won!''.
''Take that!" Darcy yelled with a wide smile laughing as she turned the Wii off.
''You humans think of many strange things for entertainment.'' Loki commented looking at the other games with strange looking cover's.
''Yeah well, what else are we supposed to come up with?'' Darcy asked pulling on her beanie that was laying on the couch, it was getting colder now. Loki stared at her and cursed himself, why did he like her so much in it? Perhaps because she looked more innocent than she was with it on. Loki leaned over the floor to put his lips near her neck.
''Oh, I could think of a few ideas.'' Loki purred and Darcy gasped at the feeling of his breathe on her neck, she felt Loki's lips place there way onto her neck and down to her collarbone in butterfly kisses as light as a feather. He brought his lips to her own and brought his hand up to caress her jaw, as Darcy opened her mouth wider he attacked her tongue with his own. Hearing Loki let out a small noise from the back of his throat made Darcy kiss him back urgently. She felt his long cool fingers dance there way on her waist while his other hand still caressed her jaw, as she slowly fell back against the floor feeling his long firm body against her only added to her lust until she heard the sound of Agent Taylor's voice coming from the hallway and near the stairs.
Darcy quickly slid out from underneath Loki to sit where he had been sitting allowing him to sit down where he was. Thor also made his way from outside looking at the dark television screen and peering at his brother and Darcy.
''Lady Darcy, brother! How did your game play?'' Thor asked with a friendly smile looking at them for an answer, Darcy was too flustered to answer as her skin was flushed bright red. Loki gave Darcy a glance and smirked classically.
''The best I've ever played, Thor.'' Loki answered much to Thor's surprise, Thor laughed loudly at that nodding and saying something under his breathe neither of them heard.
The ride to the cinema was fairly awkward and squishy, Thor and Jane sat in the front two seats with Jane driving (of course) and in the back Agent Taylor was seated right between Loki and Darcy as if he was some chaperon. Luckily Darcy had brought her Ipod and was perfectly happy listening to her rock songs while Loki sat in uncomfortable silence, she knew if he could he'd be glaring daggers at her. Darcy found herself staring at Agent Taylor's scars again and wincing, looking at them much more closely she realized they must have been pretty deep, especially the one that ran down from his jaw to his neck it looked as if a hook and been dragged underneath and out of his skin.
Once they arrived at the late showing of Warm Bodies, Loki got out of the car immediately so did Darcy. Loki had noticed Darcy's choice of dress and smirked. She was wearing a dark green and white knee-high dress with boots and her favorite beanie, which was also his favorite. They had forced Loki to change into a dark shirt which showed his toned arms but next to his brother to anyone he looked like the little gothic-type baby brother, at least Darcy made him out to be like that. He glared at all the people in the line with narrowed eyes because of his impatience.
Darcy knew it would be a long night.
