Darcy Lewis takes on the world! (Or you know, the one where fandoms collide and Darcy is present, and/or secretly related to someone else from another fandom).

Darcy's miraculously gotten Jane to finally take a break from Science!, and has gotten the petite astrophysicist to sit down and eat an early dinner at a non-contaminated table when the alarms start blaring. But given how used the two women are to the alarms blaring down in the labs thanks to Tony's need to blow something up at least once a week, they share a long look before rolling their eyes and continue on eating while trying their best to ignore the sound.
"You seriously need to tell Wanda where you're getting your clothes from," Jane muses loudly. "She just waltzed right in this morning into our apartment, into your room, and came out wearing a pair of your boots before leaving for her mission with Clint. And I saw Natasha eyeing your shorts earlier today."
"Either that or she was checking out the buns," Darcy says back, waggling her eyebrows.
Jane snorts and covers her mouth to keep her sandwich from reappearing, then takes a drink of water. "I dare you to say that to her face."
Darcy's smile turns rather mischievous as she thinks about it, but a resonating boom! and the shaking floor beneath their feet makes them sit up a little straighter with quickening heartbeats.
The alarm ceases and Darcy gulps. "J, buddy," she calls out to the now too quiet room. "Please tell me that was Tony and one of his many mistakes?"
"I would be lying if I said so, Miss Lewis. If you and Doctor Foster would please take shelter in the nearest panic room, the hostiles should be taken care of fairly quickly."
"Hostiles?!" Both Jane and Darcy yelp. Then Jane's asking, "JARVIS, how did hostiles even get in? Stark's place is supposed to be secure."
"I'm afraid I can't answer that, Doctor Foster. My systems only caught on to the intruders when they were already in the elevator shaft."
"Where the hell are they headed?" Darcy wonders.
"The labs, Miss Lewis. I believe that is their destination."
"Oh shi- Jane! In the panic room. Now!" Both women scramble off their stools and dash for the panic room situated inside Jane's lab, hidden behind a panel of the wall that blends in perfectly so no-one knows it's there. Though when the panel opens up to the supposed panic room, there are boxes upon boxes stacked in the room and there is literally only room for one person. "What the- Jane!"
"I'm sorry!" She blurts in a panic. "I forgot I moved those in here. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. We can go somewhere el-"
"It's fine," Darcy sighs and then starts pushing Jane into the small space. "Just.. get in. I have my taser and I'll hide under one of the tables," she says. "Surely the hostiles won't actually break in here and if they do, Steve and Tony and Natasha won't be far behind."
"Darcy, don't-"
"There's no other choice. Between the two of us, you're the one with all the science running around that genius brain of yours. They won't get much from me if they get this far."
