A/N: Hey people! Not much to say except Happy Thanksgiving! Here is my gift to you this week of giving! :)
Darcy POV:
I watch Loki, amused, as he stares at his slice of pizza. Thor had not hesitated to take a bite and was chowing down intently while watching the weather again.
"What is this?" Loki asks in disgust.
"It's pizza."
He looks up from his careful inspection, "What does it consist of?"
I look down at my own piece, "Um...looks like pepperoni...sausage, black olives, and mushrooms." I look up, "Along with cheese of course."
He looks alarmed, "You would pair such unlikely foods together? What kind of horrid thing would that make?"
I pick up my slice and wave it towards him, "Pizza. I told you. Eat up, it's good."
I take a bite and watch happily as Loki takes a nibble off the corner of the pizza. He wrinkles his nose, "It...tastes weird."
I shrug, "If you don't like it, you can go find something else in the kitchen."
I turn twards the TV, but when I turn back to look at Loki, he's eating with a satisfied smile. I roll my eyes. Typical. I was about to go get a drink, when a knocking came from my door. Loki and Thor jump up, Thor instantly calling his hammer to him.
"What is that noise?" Thor thundered, sounding ferocious.
I told him hurriedly, "Don't worry! It's just the door!" I walk briskly towards the noise, stopping to look into the peephole. An unfamiliar face was standing in a black suit and tie, looking ruffled. '
I open the door and stick my foot agaisnt the inside, just for safety. I stick my head out and smile, "Hello."
The man doesn't smile, instead asks, "Ms. Farrel? I'm Agent Coulson with shield, we have reason to believe you have...a highly dangerous levels of energy in this apartment."
I find it strange that he already knows my name, but I don't say anything.
Instead, I cock my head to the side, "Dangerous energy? I think you have the wrong ho-"
He doesn't give me a chance to say no, instead pushes ahead into the apartment where Loki and Thor still stood, waiting.
Coulson seems surprised to see them, and for a second, them he. Then Coulson steps in between me and them and barks into an ear piece, "I need back up! Loki and Thor are in this girls apartment!" He backs up until I'm practically pushed up against my door. The door slams shut.
The man pulls out a gun and for a moment, I'm frozen. Then, I gasp, "Don't!"
The agent snaps, "Quiet! Whatever they said, whatever they did, they can't be trusted!"
Thor, who had been calm, suddenly roars, "I can be trusted! I helped stop my brother from attacking earth!"
Coulson turns on Thor, "And you brought him back. We had agreed that Loki was to be punished in Asgard."
Thor narrows his eyes, "I wish not to quarrel with you, but hear me out. My brother and I are here for a reason, and if you mess that up now, this whole realm could be destroyed!"
Before Coulson could react, Loki stepped out from behind his brother and said to him, "Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't I kill you?"
Loki POV:
Not quite able to help being the less serious one, I pull to the left of my brother and say, "Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't I kill you?"
The thought hadn't been the most nagging one, but it was certainly the most entertaining one and the look on Darcy's face was good enough for me.
"You killed him?!" she sounds alarmed.
I don't answer but instead look at the man, waiting for an answer. He growls, "We heal quite well thank you very much."
I laugh and step towards Coulson. Coulson presses Darcy farther into the door, shielding her from me.
"Stay back!" He barks. I'm surprised at his boldness...well no I'm not. I'm not going to lie, that gun he had shot me with hurt.
I grin but stop advancing. Thor suddenly calls out, "You can let Darcy up."
"Why? How can I trust you?"
Thor sighs impatiently, "I think right now she is in more danger of suffocation than us."
I look closely at her and realize he's right. Her face is smooshed against the agent's shoulder and her body is wedged tightly between the door and Coulson. Coulson sees this and steps forward, catching Darcy who started to fall forward a little bit.
She smiles weakly and moves herself to the couch where she sits down. "Next time you decide to squish me, make sure there's a reason."
He gapes at her and points to me, "He could hurt you."
She waves her hand in the air, "I've been alone with him and Thor long enough for him to kill me twenty times! Why would he suddenly get the urge now?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door frame shakes as something strong starts beating on the door. There was a moment of silence and then a sound like something charging up. I recognize the sound immediately and dart down towards the unkown hall. The door vaporizes in a haze of heat.
In the clearing of dust, stands Iron Man. I know his name because of people constantly talking about him on the streets after I attacked the large human city, New York. He looks around for a moment and zones in on me. He doesn't seem fazed, instead he takes in everything. Thor, standing slightly defensive, Darcy, sitting on the couch looking like a little kid in a candy shop, and Coulson, who is simply standing to the side.
"Nice." came the man's voice from inside the suit, "A welcoming party."
