A/N

 I had some other Darcy works crossposted on my other account (AO3), I hadn't posted them here and I figured that all my readers that read these Darcy shots would like to read these too. This particular one is two parter I did for the fuckyeahdarcylewis Galentine's gift exchange on tumblr in 2016. This one is a two parter, and I'll be updating the other half very shortly. Also  feel free to follow me on tumblr! ( lovebuckybarnes.tumblr.com )I always love talking to my readers! 

Much Love,

Darcy loves Parks and Recreation. It's her guilty pleasure show. Nothing was better in the evenings or on a gloomy day than to just curl up on her couch, eat some ice cream and watch Parks and Recreation on Netflix. After Darcy had started binge watching the show, she realized the greatness of Galentine's Day.

A whole day of celebrating her gal pals. Darcy did this every year of college with her roommates Kayla and Tommie. Even if she couldn't afford to get much for her friends it was a way to tell them that she loved them for who they were, and that even if she didn't have a boyfriend, her friends were still cool.

And then she came across something she shouldn't have. It melded into her skin, and it had it's own entity. It called itself the witchblade, and it gave her a mission. To protect heroes. So Darcy did what she could in college. Culver's very own vigilante.

"Hero" It whispered but she ignored it.

But then Darcy didn't have enough credits to graduate. She needed six science credits. Hard Science wasn't her forte, but she loved Political Science, and was so close to graduating. Her college counselor told her there was an opportunity to work as an unpaid intern for an Astrophysicist named Jane Foster in Puente Antiguo, New Mexico. She didn't really want to leave Culver, but it was the only choice she had, and frankly she was going to be the most badass intern there ever was in the history of interns.

So she packed her bags and said goodbye to her friends, promised them knitted gifts for Galentine's Day, and took the plane trip from Virginia to New Mexico.

The week she met Dr. Jane Foster, she realized the tiny lady was dedicated scientist, and she had to keep pushing and pleading for Jane to eat a Pop-tart. She had become a scientist wrangler. Other times when she finally got Jane to sleep, she rewrote Jane's notes and organized her data.

It was a Saturday night and she really needed a drink. "Hey Foster!" She called. "Want to go to the Bar with Me?" She asked not really expecting Jane to come with her.

Jane surprised her. "Yeah Lewis, gimme a minute and I'll be ready..." She trailed of Finishing her equation and pulling her hair into a messy bun. Darcy handed Jane her sweater, and they were off in Jane's RV to the bar.

When they arrived Darcy ordered a beer for her and looked to Jane who ordered a couple shots of tequila.

"So what's up Bosslady?" Darcy said Pausing to grab Jane's shots and her beer from the counter. "The sky, Darcy." Jane retorts dryly as she then knocks back one of her shots.

"Not that I've been around you a lot, Bosslady, but you've been mopey lately. Eric has even noticed Bosslady, Spill." Darcy told Jane. Jane sighed before knocking another shot back before muttering that she 'had to be a lot more drunk than this'.

Darcy waited patiently for her to start.

"I just broke up with my boyfriend. Man, I was hoping that he was going to be better than the last, but I was wrong. Why am I like the asshole magnet?" Jane grumbled pushing her last shot aside so her elbow could rest on the table. She put her forehead on her forearms.
