Avengers AU: Loki and his forces are attempting to find and take Jane Foster as hostage from the SHIELD observatory, but Darcy is trying to run a distraction pretending to be Jane while Jane escapes.

jabberwocky-92:

It had been a little too easy for Loki’s liking to take over SHIELD’s observatory, but then again did anyone really expect him to turn up in the middle of Norway to take away a woman? And for the mortals that was their biggest mistake, forgetting where Loki was once known as a god and thinking that Jane would be safe there. Precious Jane, the only mortal woman that SHIELD had bothered to protect, all so that his brother wouldn’t get his heart broken and turn on them.

Stupid mortals.

Walking in to the large area that housed the telescope he was stopped by the view of a young woman typing away on the computer, loud music blaring from the device sitting next to her completely unaware that she was being watched by the most powerful being in the universe. “Excuse me.” He said, making a motion with his hand to stall the archer who was coming up the stairs behind him, there was no need for him to get involved if he could make this Jane woman come quietly. “I am looking for Thor’s… lover.” The word was spat out without him being able to stop himself, the very notion that this creature could change his brother in anyway making his anger boil to the surface.

The young woman paused her music and looked around, her eyes going wide as she saw him, quickly scrambling to her feet as she grabbed the device next to the one that had ceased creating the noise. “You… You found her.” She spoke, her voice meek in fear as she seemed to fumble with the device, freezing as an arrow landed just in front of her foot, a warning from Clint. Dropping the device she gulped loudly as she once again looked Loki up and down. “W-what do you want from her?”

“Why nothing bad.” Loki smiled sweetly, walking towards her and kicking the device away. “Just a chance to meet the woman who has made Thor such a… A changed man.” His smile turned in to a smirk as he wrapped a hand around her throat. “Though I can see why he would be physically attracted to you, he always did have a weakness for the larger women.” He sneered, making the young woman try to break free of his grasp, stopping when he squeezed tighter. “Do you know where Thor is?”

“Asgard?” The woman squeaked out and even in her breathy voice from him choking her, he could hear the sarcasm dripping from her tone.

“Do you think to make a mockery of me?!” He yelled, throwing her to the ground and watching as she coughed, trying to catch her breath.

“The horns do a good enough job of that!” She snapped back, glaring up at him as she rubbed her throat, glancing at the monitor next to Loki for a moment before looking back at him. With a frown Loki turned to the monitor, watching as a woman got in to a car and sped away, turning back to the young woman he could see that she was now starting to smirk, even as bruises in the shape of his fingertips blossomed on her pale skin.

“What is so funny, mortal? Do you think watching people flee to leave you to your fate amusing?” He asked, walking back over to her and wondering why she did not shrink in fear as she did the first time. “Tell me!” He demanded, feeling more and more like this evening was spinning widely out of his control.

“My name is Darcy Lewis, and that was Jane Foster getting away. Don’t really have very good spies if you can’t even get a photo of the woman you wa-“ Her words were cut off by the archer knocking her out cold as Loki proceeded to destroy the observatory and anyone still in it, watching as the archer scooped the young woman up and followed Loki out of the burning observatory obediently.

“Shall I kill her sir?” The archer asked, lying the woman down on the ground and moving her head so that he would have a clear shot to her throat as he raised his foot from the ground.

“No.” Loki said, walking away without another glance to the woman on the ground. “Let us wait and see how long it takes before SHIELD comes to save her, if they even care enough.” He made his way to a tree and sat down, watching as the archer frowned but followed his orders like a good little slave.

“Perhaps even my brother might show up.” He added, his smirk now turning deadly as he pulled a dagger from his tunic. Only the Norns knew for sure how such a strange night would end, but Loki was hoping that fate was on his side and it would end with the blood of his so called brother on his hands. “Or perhaps Darcy Lewis played a deadly game of chance with no reward but her death…”
