Summary: Loki disappears, and Thor returns as S.H.I.E.L.D questions Darcy.
Mischief and Tasers
Chapter Twenty-four: Gone
“Sometimes when you love something Darcy, you have to let it go.”
She woke to the memory of her mother’s words hovering in her brain. Darcy could hardly remember when her mother had told her that, but it must have been when her dog Skittles died of old age. She didn’t now why the memory had surfaced now, but she guessed it had something to do with her empty bed and apartment with the God of Mischief nowhere in sight.
His strange dimensional space was also gone, and she was back in her lonely bedroom drowning in the weighted silence.
Just as he had promised to not let her go, ever, here he had left her in the end anyway.
“You must remember that Loki always lies.” It sounded like a nursery rhyme stuck within her head, a lesson that all little girls and boys should learn.
Darcy frowned, rising from her toasty covers and sitting up in bed. She didn’t really know what she had expected from Loki all these last nights. He was not some lover who would treat her with tenderness and adoring words, but rather he regarded her like an animal, as if he would eat her unless she bowed her head and knew her place.
He had proven that by the soreness that sang throughout every muscle of her body.
She definitely learned the lesson well. Her heart and body already ached for Loki’s presence, but honestly she didn’t feel surprised that he’d bailed on her.
“Ass,” she spat at the air. The floor was cold on her bare feet, and she was thankful Loki had at least left her wrapped in her soft, cotton bath robe. It was green, and she remembered buying it a couple of weeks after he’d started living with her.
Now it just reminded her of his eyes.
Shaking the thoughts from her head, Darcy brewed some coffee when she caught sight of her phone blinking on the kitchen counter. She had 41 missed calls and just as many messages, no doubt from Jane and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Reluctantly, she listened to them all. Most of them were frantic pleadings from Jane to call her once she got the messages. The most interesting one, however, was the news that Thor was back, and instantly he’d been put on a mission to find her and his brother.
“Fat chance, Thor. Loki’s gone,” Darcy said, and she’d gone through three cups of coffee before she’d finally decided to call Jane.
“Yeah, it’s me. No, he’s gone,” she told Jane, and immediately Coulson had picked up the phone.
“Stay there, Ms. Lewis. We’ll send someone to pick you up. We have a lot to discuss,” he ordered.
“Sure,” Darcy said with a hint of sarcasm. “I’ll be here.”
.xxxxx.
Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D came to her apartment, and the whole grand entrance was a blur to her until Darcy saw Thor with Jane Foster hovering worriedly behind him. The moment Jane looked her over, the woman had pulled Darcy into her arms and began rocking her like a comforting mother.
“What did he do to you? You’re covered in bruises!” Jane exclaimed, and Darcy’s eyes went wide for a moment when she realized where those bruises came from. Her face immediately felt hot, and an awkward silence fell between them all.
“Jane, Agent Coulson, if you would please leave Ms. Darcy Lewis and me alone for a moment,” said Thor in a quiet voice, and Darcy hugged herself, feeling even more uncomfortable under Thor’s scrutinizing eyes.
He shot a stern look to Coulson, who had no intention of budging, but after a weird minute, the S.H.I.E.L.D agent sighed sharply and left Thor and Darcy alone in her apartment.
After a heavy pause, Darcy licked her lips and played with the sleeves of her baggy brown sweater, which covered most of her bruises but did not shield the marks on her neck. “So you probably know what you’re brother and I...”
Thor sucked in a heavy breath. “My brother has treated you unwell.”
“He...really hasn’t. I mean, in the beginning he used me, but I thought...” Darcy sighed, angry with herself. “I thought I was getting to him. I thought we were friends...maybe more.” She looked into Thor’s eyes. “I don’t know why I’m telling you this. He was just... hard to resist. He was here, and I felt something for him. I feel totally stupid and embarrassed already for admitting that, so say what you’re going to say. I already feel like a dope for even letting him stay at my place. Though it’s not like he didn’t cast a spell on me to not say anything to anyone about his presence, but then...I didn’t really try that hard to fight it.”
“My brother’s magic is powerful. I am sure you could not fight much. Still, you will get no lecture from me. My brother, despite all that he has done, is still dear to me. I am glad there is someone else he is dear to as well,” Thor said, but she could see there was more that Thor was trying to explain. “I did not even know he was alive. It seemed impossible he would survive that fall from the broken Bifröst.”
“Ah, he told me about that. Something about other dimensions to Midgard that even you and Odin don’t know about,” Darcy said, and she smirked slightly at Thor. “For someone who was closely guarded on his nefarious plans, he did ramble a lot about things.”
“So he has plans then,” Thor said, almost like a growl.
“Yeah,” Darcy said. “I am surprised that his spell is not working anymore on me.”
“I have seen no trace of my brother. He is probably gone, retreating somewhere out of our reach,” Thor said. “His magic has probably worn off or lost its strength.”
“Yeah, well he can go around other dimensions here too,” Darcy said, looking away from Thor’s gaze. She was starting to feel uncomfortable the more she talked to Thor about Loki. She was conflicted, knowing it was right to help Thor but also feeling like she wanted to defend Loki.
Man, she had it bad for Loki. With him still plotting some bad things, she still wanted to help him in some way.
“Darcy Lewis, you are aware that S.H.I.E.L.D will make you tell them everything that you know about my brother. They will keep you locked up, just as they had done to me when I tried to take Mjölnir.”
“I know,” she said, and she stepped toward Thor and put her hand on his arm. “But I don’t know how much I can tell them, Thor. I feel strange about Loki. I don’t want to betray him.” She paused and Thor’s eyes searched her face. “I love the stupid bastard.”
“Aye,” Thor said. “I know how you must feel.” He took her small hand into his large grasp and pulled her along. “Now, let us go. I will try to help you as much as I can, Darcy Lewis.”
“Thanks, Thor,” she said, but Darcy still felt the unease in the pit of her stomach despite Thor’s words. Though, she had to admit it was good seeing the big guy again.
.xxxxxx.
“Hey! What’s a girl gotta do around here to get some pizza?” Darcy yelled. S.H.I.E.L.D had put her in this white, sound-proof room and left her there for odd hours at a time. She had a bottle of water, which she had emptied out of boredom, and she finally convinced Coulson to bring her iPod so she could listen to music and watch reruns of Hoarders.
She had always wondered if it was possible to listen to every song in her collection without skipping a track, and being in this horrible white room proved that she could.
Finally, the door slid open and Coulson walked in with a pizza box. The wave of cheese and sauce hit her nostrils and she held out her hands. “You are a godsend!”
Coulson held the pizza box just out of her grasp, taunting her as he had one more question to torture her with.
“I would really like to give you this pizza if you could tell us more about Loki,” Coulson said.
“I told you, he has some sort of spell on me. Plus, he wasn’t exactly chatty about his plans. I also told you about the power boost he got from god-knows where, and by that, giving me super human strength, which I still have by the way, so don’t test me and give me that pizza,” Darcy warned him.
Coulson looked at her with odd amusement in his eyes. He set the pizza down on the table, and Darcy darted for the first slice. She made moans of contentment as she scarfed down two of them in one gulp.
“Much better,” she said. “Yum.”
“Feeling more talkative now?” Coulson asked.
“Do you honestly think I’m keeping things from you to protect him?” Darcy said. “Trust me, I told you everything, and I didn’t want to, and to be honest, I don’t think it’s going to help you.”
Coulson just stared with his lips pursed. Darcy really hated when he did that.
“He made me sabotage Jane’s research in my sleep. He stalked me to the point where I gave up trying to shoo him out of my bathroom, so I invited him to stay over. I did not invite him to turn my apartment into his dimensional secret base with high-powered motorcycles and dusty old black magic books. He wouldn’t listen to me anyway; he kind of did his own thing,” Darcy reiterated.
“Yet, you had a romantic relationship with this...person,” Coulson said.
“Uh huh. I have a bad track record with men; what can I say? Plus, he could be really sweet at times. Just ask Thor,” Darcy said. “Look, I really can’t explain my actions there, okay? I don’t need S.H.I.E.L.D to tell me I’m stupid. Loki is...probably really dangerous toward you guys, I’m not going to lie.”
“We are well aware of Loki’s capabilities,” Coulson said.
Darcy snorted, finishing off her fourth piece of pizza. “Then you know him better than I do.”
Coulson arched a single eyebrow. Darcy was sure he didn’t believe her.
“Well, I think that’s all for today,” Coulson said. “If you can think of anything, Ms. Lewis, please, let us know.”
“When can I get out of here?” she asked quickly.
Coulson shook his head. “I don’t think you understand, Ms. Lewis. We’re keeping you here hoping he’ll come back for you, if he really cares about you at all.”
Darcy immediately started laughing, but Coulson seemed unfazed by her audacity. “Are you crazy? He’s not coming back for me! He still called me “stupid mortal” up until the last minute. He has more important things to worry about than a little human like me.”
“Are you sure, Ms. Lewis? He stayed around you for quite a long time. Although he may not have expressed it, Thor’s brother may have had feelings for you too.”
Yeah, but he’s not going to come to me unless I’m in some kind of danger, like when Heath tried to rape me, Darcy thought, but she wasn’t going to tell Coulson that. She sure as hell knew they’d stick her in a cage with the Hulk if it meant Loki would swoop in and save her life. No, she had told S.H.I.E.L.D everything, every detail of her life with Loki, but she would not tell them this.
It was the only thing she could do for Loki. She didn’t want to outright help him, but she would at least keep him away from her and S.H.I.E.L.D.
She wasn’t so sure he’d come for her anyway, but it made her feel better that she could do this one thing out of loyalty for Loki. She didn’t even care if Coulson suspected her of doing it. Darcy still didn’t agree with Loki’s machinations, but she did feel some sense of loyalty toward him.
And this was her only way of not betraying him.
Darcy would stay in this white room for as long as S.H.I.E.L.D wanted to keep her just to prove her point.
.xxxxx.
Loki knew they had Darcy. He knew his brother had returned too, and he knew that Darcy was free to tell S.H.I.E.L.D everything she could about him.
Not that anything she could tell them could really hinder his plans.
He phased in and out of dimensional space to check on her. They weren’t really hurting her, only confining her to get him to come for her.
But he wouldn’t. He knew enough that she was fine, but now he had to leave her. Darcy was a dangerous weakness on his part, and S.H.I.E.L.D must know that now. So he would prove to them that she was nothing to him, a mere fancy and convenient pawn in his wider game.
When he didn’t return to her and carried out his plans, they’d know she was really no use to him. Then, they’d let her go and Darcy would be free. She would go back to being a normal human who would fall in step under his inevitable rule.
And when he did come to rule this planet and all her people, when things were safe and comfortable for him, Loki would search her out and reward her.
When that time came, Darcy would sit by his side as intended. He’d have Earth. He’d have his brother kneeling before him, with an army ready to crush any foolish rebellion to dust.
Finally, Loki would have everything he deserved, and more.
