Thorne intercepted the security guard before he could hand over the lottery money. She had spoken with this particular security guard on more than one occasion about making sure that only authorized personnel handled the lottery money.
She smiled at the blonde, her name was some type of flower wasn't it? Rose maybe. She nodded at Rose, letting her know that it was okay for her to leave, and she'd deal with getting the lottery money to Wilson.
This wasn't part of her job, but technically she was authorized personnel, so she headed to the lift.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be some issues with the basement.
First, there was no Wilson to be found.
Second, somehow a flash mob of people dressed as mannequins were hanging out in the storage room.
Third, there was a big eared man telling her to run and he seemed to have a handholding thing.
Well, at least she acquired a decent crowbar, after the night's odd events.

Shut Up And Kiss Me (Loki x Darcy)
Darcy has a habit of making questionable decisions, but when she's offered a job that she'll actually be paid for -- and by the Avengers, no less -- she accepts without hesitation, hoping to advance her career and maybe be taken a bit more seriously too. But she didn't realise the job consists of basically being a glorified 'babysitter' (or Mischief-Minder) to Loki, who has returned to Earth with his big brother. Needless to say, neither of them are too impressed by the situation, especially Loki, who's virtually under house-arrest and now at the mercy of a taser-happy intern. Then the most unexpected thing happens. The pair actually start to get along. This is set after Thor: Ragnarok but in an AU (we're just going to forget about all that Infinity War business for now!)

When the buttler held his hand out towards the doors, the two buttlers opened them. Light beamed threw the doors, making everyone squint or cover their eyes. When they walked threw, it was a large thrown room full of huge glass windows. The king and queen stood on each side of the thrown chair and their daughter was seated in it. She wore a bord exspression as her head rested on her palm, but that slowly faded into shock as she saw them walk in. "I legit thought we were about to walk into heaven." Sidney muttered to everyone. They all laughed as they walked side by side. To Olivia, it looked like they were moving in slow motion, causing her lips to curl into a bright smile.

Rrinkers
Lucas was beyond annoyed. "Why'd you press that button?" He said, angrily. "It was an accident." "Well, we're stopped now. You pressed the stopping button." "Ok...can you undo it?" "Do I look like elevator maintenance?" "Fine!" She said with the same tone, as she pressed the red button on the elevator key. She assumed that the red button was for elevator maintenance. "What are you doing?!" Lucas exclaimed. "What?" "You just pressed the fire button. Now the fire department is going to show up!" "Well, how am I supposed to know?! I thought it was the help button." All of her tiredness went away in the heat of the moment. "Maybe open your eyes and read what it says." "Open my eyes?!" She was livid, so she let him have it. "I had two hours of sleep last night! Two! Because someone decided that they want to have a nightclub in their pent house...in the middle of the night! Oh and to add on that...I've been at work for the past eighteen hours! Eighteen! So don't start telling me to open my eyes and read what it says when you're the reason I am so sleep deprived and making mistakes!" Lucas just stared at her with a straight face and asked in the most serious tone, "Are you normal?"Complete

My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it.
