Own Noting.

One.

Darcy couldn't believe what had happened, she was there with the girlfriends of the Avengers, watching them on TV at the mansion. They were fighting Loki again and they were sorely losing, Darcy could feel the tension in the air. Loki could actually win this time and that scared them.

He raised his magical staff and brought it down and Darcy feared that it was a spell to screw them all. But suddenly there was a flash of light and all communications and cameras were dead. Darcy looked over to Pepper and Jane to see them in shock. They had no way of knowing if they were okay.

So they waited in silence, and in prayer as ten minutes passed, as an hour passed. They were getting anxious when another thirty minutes passed and still nothing. Darcy was biting her lip as Jane was fighting back tears, Pepper, as always was strong. "Nothing else has happened, maybe they're okay." Jane whispered.

Darcy felt her heart break, because if Jane had lost Thor, then Jane would be lost with herself. Darcy prayed to any or all gods that their friends were okay.

It was as if her prayers were answered when the door opened and the Avenger team piled into the living room, exhausted. Pepper ran to Tony and Jane stood up to go to Thor when they noticed something, or actually someone in his arms. A child. "Thor?" Jane questioned.

"It is Loki." Thor stated.

"He turned himself into a kid." Tony explained. "A four year old brat."

"You will not speak of my brother that way." Thor's voice boomed, scaring the small child.

Darcy let out a breath of relief as she stepped forward and looked at the small child and smiled. "Hi, I'm Darcy."

The small Loki stared at her. "Loki." His small voice made her giggle; it was very much different from his adult voice.

"Well Loki, I got something sweet in the kitchen, would you like some?" She asked him and he nodded. "Come here." She lifted the child from Thor's arms, everyone watching her as she settled him on her hip. "Now, let's go get you something sweet."

"I like chocolate." He told her.

"You do?" Darcy smiled down at him. "Me too! We're going to be best friends." She told him as she carried him to the kitchen.

"That didn't just happen." Tony stated. "Darcy did not just befriend a four year old Loki."

"I think you should get some rest." Pepper stated, breaking up a tension field situation before it could get worse. "Bed, all of you." She ordered.

The Avengers looked at each other, all to tired to really argue against Pepper Potts and did as they were told. Thor was the last to leave the living room; he stared into the kitchen to see Darcy eating ice cream with his now, actual baby brother. He sighed and shook his head, allowing Jane to lead him to bed.

"Explain to me Miss Lewis, why you want to go shopping for children's clothes?" Fury asked her when she sat in his office the next morning.

"We don't know how long Loki's spell on himself could last and he can not stay in the same clothes."

"He is an enemy." Fury argued. "I will not let you expense clothes for our enemy."

"He's a child." Darcy argued back. "A child who is scared and needs clothes."

"He will not be a child for long." Fury stated.

"And how long will it take for him to get back to his adult self?" She asked him. "A week? A year? Maybe he has to grow up all over again."

"It doesn't matter how long it takes, he will kill us all as soon as he is back to his old self."

"Maybe not!" She shouted. "Maybe I can make a difference if growing up the way he did made him who he is, maybe growing up in a different environment will change him." She stood up, arms crossed over her chest. "I will take full responsibility of him, let me make a difference."

Fury glared at her with his one eye and frowned. "I'll give you a trial run, one month. If I don't like where this is going then I'm sending him back with Thor."

Darcy broke out into a smile. "Thank you Sir!"

Fury shook his head. "You get the pleasure of telling Thor that you're his brother's new nanny." She was dismissed and she knew it and she raced out of the office and back to the Stark tower.

"No." Thor firmly told her. "My brother should return to Asgard, Mother and the All-Father will raise him again."

Tony snorted from the couch. They were all in the living room when Darcy arrived. "Like that worked so good the first time."

Thor turned to glare at him. "What do you mean?"

"Thor." Darcy pleaded. "You were both raised to hate Frost Giants and Loki is just that. This whole thing started because he was lied to and taught to hate himself. But what if he's not? What if he is taught to accept himself?"

Thor stared down at her, thinking on it. "I don't like it."

Darcy sighed. "I'm taking full responsibility of him, like he would be my own kid. But I have to know if you're still going to treat him differently?"

"What?" Thor stared in shock at her now. "What do you mean, I love my brother?"

"But you still hate what he is." Darcy stated in a whisper. "We all have issues, but if his own brother can't accept him, why would he?" She asked him.

"Darcy!" They heard Loki scream from her bedroom, he was awake from his nap.

Darcy looked back up at Thor. "Trust me." She pleaded as she went to go get the small boy.

"I think you should." Bruce stated, everyone looked at him confused. "She takes care of all of us, why wouldn't she be able to take care of him?"
