AU: The Avengers, Darcy/Loki » “A Storm is Brewing”

~ The God of Mischief will leave Earth in no time…or so Darcy believes. ~

(This is a prequel to the following graphics + ficlets that I made:  Part 1 | Part 2 )


“So…this is him?”

Darcy’s nose scrunched slightly as her eyes darted back and forth between the image on S.H.I.E.L.D.’s monitor and the book laid out before them.

“Yes, that’s him…that’s Loki.”

The pointed inflection in Jane’s voice made Darcy look up at her. She sounded anxious – and even a bit angry. Naturally, that was to be expected, considering the source of her anger happened to be an individual who had injured and killed human beings…not to mention, he was a deity, just like Thor.

And he wasn’t just any powerful deity, mind you. Loki was Thor’s brother.

But that’s where the connection began and ended. In essence, the two siblings couldn’t be more different. From what little Darcy had gathered, they were like night and day. Where Thor was the brawn, Loki was the brains. One moved with the strength and power of a lion, the other with the elegance and stealth of a gazelle. And apparently, it suited Loki quite well. He had managed to creep up on S.H.I.E.L.D. and wreak havoc when they had least expected it.

He certainly was the storm that no one had anticipated.

But now, the strongest reinforcements were being called in for help, which meant Loki would soon be captured in Stuttgart. Darcy peered over again at the projection of him on the LCD screen, his menacing gaze practically challenging anyone who would dare look that way. That profile was the closest she would ever get to him, and that was just fine in her book. With S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly taking the helm, the storm would blow over soon, and the brouhaha would cease.

Or so it seemed.
