Hacker of computers, caretaker of Jane Foster, BFF's with Princes of Asgard and a boss ass bitch with a taser. [[ indie mcu roleplay blog for Darcy Lewis. Secondary blog. ]]
“It takes a great deal of effort to command me to do anything. If you can supply something of interest to me, I might obey. Horns and cape? Absolutely.”
Turning slowly to be met with a innocent smile that he’d already knew would cause him a great deal of trouble, he tapped his fingers against the material of the leather overcoat that hung past his thigh. “DARCY, I have gotten the nickname for my reputation of having quite the way with words. Good, bad, and simply foul.”
With his steps halting, he nearly scowled. “Jane’s smart enough to know who I am through Thor. I mean, I assume you’re a scientist as well, show me what intelligent wonders go on inside that head.“
‘ what the hell is with you and the damn horns and capes? y’know people make fun of the horns, right? i mean, c’mon, stark calls ya’ reindeer games! and capes are dangerous. to quote edna from the incredibles, no capes! ‘
she practically shouted the words at him, chuckling after then raising her eyebrows. ‘ what, you? having a way with words? the guy that used the words ‘mewling quim’ to describe the badassery that is the black widow? yeah, i’m real sure all the girls are swoonin’ for you back home, buddy boy. ‘ she rolled her eyes and smirked at him, mocking the damsel in distress swooning just for his pleasure.
‘ yeah, that’s my thing. jane’s smart enough to know who you are and might just try and kill you. you’re lucky i’m the one with the taser. and not science. i was the only applicant. i study political science. well…i did, before shield and shit, y’know. ‘
“No… No, I don’t.” He didn’t even know that was an make up accessory that women used. Or had. Or existed. “Would a normal pen work?”
‘ ..uh..i don’t think so. as far as i’m aware, there is no pen color out there that matches my hair yet. i mean, i keep telling snark to hurry it up, but, y’know…’
“Oh wow. Yeah no, it wouldn’t be a problem. In fact I’d be happy to. Just whatever you want me to sign. I thought Thor would be your favorite.”
‘ uh, god no. i spent a week in an apartment that i shared with jane while thor was staying with us. within that week i heard too much about his massive hammer and got no sleep whatsoever. ‘
“ — well, i can’t really speak on jane’s reliability as a scientist, but i’ve seen tony blow up the lab more times in these past few months than i can count, and my scientific career is more or less defined by the fact that i was inadvertently responsible for what is arguably one of the worst gamma related incidents in recent history … “
“ — but, yeah, i figure that can be arranged; at the very least for your funeral. although, if it’s any consolation, i’ll try my best to make sure you aren’t horribly killed on my account — that being said, a good way to keep yourself safe around me is to, y’know … keep me from getting too angry … “
‘ yeah, okay…let’s not be a pessimists about this. just...hold hope? ‘
‘ but c’mon, the fact that you’re here and that shield are trusting you is a good sign, right? they trust you, and being trusted by a totally top secret deathly ass intelligence organisation is the first step to trusting yourself… ‘
‘ — yeah … sorry to disappoint, but i think it’s probably safe to say that i’m just as bad as they are. in fairness, i’ve found that keeping my mind focused on other stuff really helps to keep the monster at bay … hence all the late nights spent in the lab. ’
‘ so, yeah … no tucking in necessary, thanks … ’
‘ oh god...the scientists three. if i end up dying because of you, jane and tony, you all better find your way out of the lab somehow and make it to my funeral without mentioning science. ‘
“Nah, no one wants to be on his bad side,” Steve agreed. “He’s getting better at it though… Scientists… can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em.”
‘ i don’t know.. it would allow more people to eat instead of forgetting to. i think i could cope without them pretty well. except bill nye. we all need bill nye. ‘
Steve is confused, but he’s not going to ask questions. The captain had a feeling that he didn’t want to know. “No, I haven’t seen her… haven’t seen her for a few days actually.”
‘ yeah, she has a tendency to stay in one place for long amounts of time without me telling her to go to sleep or eat. but if you haven’t seen her in here, that kinda rules out the one place i thought she’d be… fuck. i’ve just lost jane foster, god of thunder’s girlfriend and have a feeling i’m gonna be hit by lightening twice no matter where i stand…‘
bucky narrows his eyes, mockingly, not at all bothered by her obvious attentive glance along his features, oh well, he’d cleaned up well after a hair cut.
“oh but he is, though I am not one of those asshole bad boys, you know? just the kind of bad boy who used to have a date with a different girl each weekend and turned into one of the best snipers ever. anyway. guess you are right. the bionic arm is quite a heavy deal.”
‘ y’know, you’re not supposed to tell a girl that you’d have a different girl each weekend, that’s more of a guy thing and it gives women the perfect incentive to kick you in the balls. i mean, don’t get me wrong, if we were younger and in high school, i’d be the first girl to hop on you, soldier. but maybe leave that bit out next time. ‘
she smirked, her eyes showing the humor that was mostly hid on her facial features.
