"You can't go on another mission! YOU CAN'T!!!" Darcy wails as she clings to Uncle Thor's cape.
"But the world needs us, Darcy," he tells her.
"But I need you MORE!!!" She curled her fingers around the red fabric. "And I don't want to go to S.H.I.E.L.D.! They poke me with needles 'cause they say it's good for me!"
"That was once. I am sure that they will not subject you to that again."
"And Uncle Phil is boring. I think he thinks I'm crazy." She dropped her head and shrugged her shoulders up.
"You know he does not think you mad." Uncle Thor kissed her forehead. "If you behave appropriately, we shall play whatever game you wish when we return."
"Even Pretty, Pretty Princess?"
"Yes, even that."
"Okay." Darcy hugged him. "But North Korea sounds like something that makes you go to the bathroom a lot."

They drop her off and Uncle Phil is waiting for her. He's wearing sunglasses. He wears sunglasses way too much---Darcy wonders if he's going blind, but she doesn't ask about it because she knows that if he does, he'll have to fill out a lot of paperwork, and it will be all her fault.
He has to do paperwork anyway, so she sits in his office and she reads all her books (okay, she looks at the pictures), and draws in her notebook, and they're still not back.
"They're never coming back ever," she moaned, rubbing her face with her hands.
"That's what you said the last time," Uncle Phil reminds her.
"But this time it's true!"
"Darcy. That's not rational. You know that---" His cell phone rings. "Coulson. Yes, I'll be right there, sir. Just give me one second."
"Duty calls?"
He looks down at her from his desk. "Yes. Now, can you be a good girl for me and stay here? I won't be gone long."
"Mmkay." Darcy nods. After Uncle Phil leaves the office, she listens as his footsteps get quieter and farther away. Then she pokes her head out the door. Nobody around. And somebody forgot to lock the door, she guesses.
She tip-toes out the door. Maybe she fibbed, but now she's not bored, creeping down the hallways and jumping out of everyone's way and hiding behind doors.
She turns a corner about a million hallways away from Uncle Phil's office when she sees Uncle Loki. He's wearing a horned helmet today, and he looks like a shiny mountain goat.
"Darcy, I have something to show you," he whispers loudly, motioning for her to follow him.
Darcy shakes her head and runs in the opposite direction.
