Grant raises an eyebrow at the taser, impressed actually, but is more curious by this display than anything about what Uber is for. He comes up with a question anyway, genuinely curious about what the answer would be. “Are these Uber rides cheaper than taking a taxi?” They all do the same thing, but maybe these apps however sketchy, might be a safer option. It’s still odd to him. “Very nice, knowing how to defend yourself is important. I teach classes on that sometimes when my clients are interested.” He wonders what about him is considered interesting, but doesn’t question that part of the conversation. “Sure, I could go for a drink. Do you have a favorite bar? I’m Grant, by the way.”

Darcy chuckled, expertly twirled the weapon in her hand and stuffed it back into her handbag. “Ehh, depends. Most cabs in the city are kinda pricy but then if you nab a deluxe uber, which I sometimes do,” she was an assistant to a CEO after all, the perks of the good pay were a strong supply of pop tarts and fancy ubers, “Then they’re about the same or more. Ubers have been around forever dude, what dimension have you been hiding in?” Only a semi joking question, these days you never knew after all. “Ohhhhhh, you just became way more interesting to be handsome stranger, I‘ve been looking to learn how to punch someone properly.” She grinned and began walking down the street, expecting him to follow, “I’m Darcy, I also answer to ‘taser girl’ and ‘hey bitch’ sometimes.” she threw back with a wink.

“Jane Foster?” Why did he know that name? Astrophysics wasn’t exactly his field, but it was possible that he’d come across her work or met her at some conference somewhere in the past, but that didn’t feel quite right. It wasn’t until Darcy kept on talking and mentioned the Bifrost, the rest of it clicked into place and Bruce snapped his fingers. “That Jane Foster.” That made it a little awkward, but only if he let it. What did it matter if Thor’s ex’s former assistant was talking to him? That was nonsense.

“Likewise, Miss Lewis.” Bruce didn’t have many people getting excited to meet him. Even when he’d still been an Avenger, Bruce Banner wasn’t the one who got recognized for that, and he certainly didn’t have little pockets of fans all over the place like Cap and Tony. It was a little strange. “Glad I could give you something to think about.”

“Yeah! Janey and me worked together loooooads back in the day,” she laughed, “I was with her down in New Mexico when Thor turned up for the first time.” Well, the first time for then anyway. God a lot of shit had happened since then, she kinda missed the innocence of it all... and the mischief her and Jane had gotten into time and time again. “So while I was with her I got to learning some of the more complex things she was working on, I was the only one who could read all her handwritten notes.” Jane’s handwriting was abysmal.

“Sure! It was fun trying to get my head around it! Are you working on anything new right now?” she asked excitedly. While not a scientist herself, Darcy did soak up the information pretty good, guess she was just an excellent student that way.

“I don’t understand why someone would get into a car with a stranger. My mother always told me that you should never do that and that lesson stuck with me into adulthood. Now there’s something called UBER? Where you’re supposed to trust someone you don’t know to take you home in their car? It seems sketchy if you ask me.” Grant has been trying to catch up on everything that he has missed out on in the last eleven years. It will take some time, but for now, all the man can do is be a little lost while rambling to whoever cares to listen.

Darcy (having just got out an uber) smirked at the guys rant and with no hesitation at all walked over and put a hand on his shoulder, “Dude. Let me explain, we do it cause we got places to get to and appointments to keep and miles to go before we sleep and it is actually pretty cheap.” she smirked at the rhyme and then out a hand into her bag and pulled out a pretty sup’d up taser, “Plus, if anyone tries something sketchy with me I’ll hit’em up with this. Enough juice to down a god, trust me I know.” she chuckled, “So baring that in mind, I just got off work and you look like an interesting fellow, wanna get a drink?”

Pepper hadn’t been surprised when Tony’s invitation to join him in Star City had been an offhand mention in one of their rare phone conversations followed up by a set of keys arriving in the mail. As she already had keys to everything else Tony owned she assumed they were to whatever properties he had procured in the city. The nonchalant nature of the invite was one-hundred percent Tony. What had surprised her was that Tony had asked her to come out in the first place. Things had been…well, frankly they hadn’t been great between them for a while at that point.

So, suffice to say, the casual invite and subsequent keys hadn’t been expected, and Pepper had taken a couple days to think it over before making her decision. Of course, her initial instinct had been to go, but not only did she have a company to make arrangements for, but she didn’t like to make spur of the moment decisions when it came to the important things. In the end it took her a couple weeks to make the proper arrangements so that she could run Stark Industries from Star City in addition to Los Angeles and New York. Tony had said ‘visit’ when they’d spoken, but she knew Tony and she doubted it would be a simple week-long vacation.

Even with all the time Pepper had spent making preparations and getting things set up, she’d still had to end up leaving her assistant in LA to wrap up the last few loose ends before the younger woman joined her in Star City. Honestly, Darcy was an invaluable assistant. She was a bit quirky and high energy, but she got things done and as long as everything was done legally Pepper wasn’t really too bothered with how it got done.  

So, when she’d heard that Darcy was finally on her way Pepper was pleased. Cassia was irreplaceable, of course, the AI was almost always in Pepper’s ear (especially after the incident at the riots), but it would be nice to have another human being to talk to during the day that wasn’t yet another stuffy, insufferable business man.

Pepper was scrawling out some proforma signatures when Darcy arrived, and at the sound of the brunette’s voice Pepper’s head lifted with a warm smile. “Darcy! Glad to see you made it in one piece.” There was an amused smile on her lips as she gestured towards one of the chairs in front of her desk. “Well, only having come back to work last week I’m unfortunately low on the gossip.” It was hard to collect gossip from a recovery bed.

“Y’know it was touch and go for a few secs. I’m pretty sure I lost wifi for like twenty minutes on the copter ride over and I felt like I was gonna die.” She lived for internet access, not only for her social media presence (which was pretty damn good if she said so herself) but she’d been drafting a few last minute emails and instructions for the new heads of the LA branch on her way over. She was sure they’d be fine but Darcy didn’t want to let Pepper down.

“Yea, that reminds me.” she took her seat and lightly smacked the back of the older woman’s hand, “Never get hurt again! You had me worried sick and I couldn’t get out here to help you. I think I gained many grey hairs. Are you sure you’re well enough to be back here?” Her shrewd gaze took the other in; after years of working with Jane, Darcy was well acquainted with badass women who overworked themselves and needed to be physically put to bed at times.

“I can always give you some of mine though, since I’m that great,” Darcy grinned, trying not to linger too long on a negative subject, “You know Jan from RD? She and Ricardo from HR finally got together and Nikia found’em canoodling in the break room.” she smirked, “Earned me twenty bucks in a bet.” And she wished the love birds well, “In less fun gossip though, apparently the head of Kord industries is in town and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing?” she half-asked, wanting to see what the other thought about it.

Princess and Assistant || Shuri and Darcy

It had been a successful day with Stark. They were starting to really test some of the theories of the Vibranium faraday suit they had talked about and Shuri had come to bring over the prototypes of the Black Panther suit as well. Stark had been respectful of the fact that she couldn’t just hand over one of the originals, but the prototypes had enough substance to get him there. She’d also sent all of her plans and ideas for the completed suit. He was intelligent enough, as it were, to figure it out from there, and she’d be there to help him.   

Now, she stepped out of his lab in a fog. What year was it? They’d been in there for ages and Shuri was living for the most part. But she definitely needed a break. So as she stepped out into a more common area, she gave a dramatic sigh before collapsing onto one of the plush chairs. “Who do I have to fight or bribe to get a red bull over here?” She asked a dark haired girl nearby. She’d seen her before, trailing behind Pepper Potts, who came and went as she pleased. Seemed like that woman could say whatever she wanted to Tony Stark and might not get obliterated with snide repartee. Pepper Potts was the Mitochondria–the powerhouse of Stark Industries.

Darcy enjoyed some days more than others, luckily today had shaped up to be pretty damn good. She’d got to follow Pepper around and see some of the new tech the company was working on, set up a met with some pretty juicy investors and (most importantly) got to tell several nosy journalists to get lost in the most polite way possible. She had the rest of the afternoon off but it wasn’t like she had anywhere else to spent it right now. So she’d decided to chill in the common area for a little bit and then pick up some sinfully good takeaway and marathon Drag Race.

She was about to nab a drink when another woman spoke up first; she recognised her, if only from files in work and news coverage and from what she knew the lady was a certified badass with a capital B. “Girl, I would jog to the seven eleven across the way to get you a red bull, but luckily.” she grinned and pressed a button on a chunky black table, causing a portion of it to rise up and a mini fridge to become visible, “Mr. Stark has these bad boys stashed all over the place.” she grabbed a red bull for Shuri and a coke for herself and handed the drink over before taking a seat, “Sooooo what ya been doing? I’m trying to get my head around the science stuff. I got a lot of astrophysics down but this-” she thumbed in the direction of Tony’s lab, “Still wayyyyy over my head.”

Handing Stark Industries over to Pepper had been a remarkably easy decision. Tony trusted her, which was something he could say about few people in his life, at least to that degree, and he knew she had his interests at heart. Their past disagreements only highlighted what she could offer as the CEO. If anyone could make the changes he wanted to see in the company, it was Pepper. 

Every now and then he stopped by. Now that he was the city and decidedly less of a hermit, he liked to make the rounds and get up to speed on what was going on. 

“You’re Pepper’s new assistant?” Tony shook her hand, already scrutinizing her. “Wonderful. No one told me I’d have a tour guide. I can’t think of anything I’d love more.” It was difficult to tell if he were being sarcastic or not, but his tone was dry. “Unless Pepper’s new assistant - Darcy, you said? - comes bearing highly proofed sustenance, I should be just fine.” 

“Wellll new-ish,” she’d been in the job long enough to feel comfortable but not about to start taking liberties, well, apart from using the excuse to try and get to know Tony Stark a little. “Aww, you’re so sweet, keep up that attitude and I’ll be following you home like a little baby duck. Now smile,” she grinned and pulled her phone, turning back to take a selfie with the man before chuckling, “Don’t worry, s’not for the ‘gram this one’s just for me.”

“Darcy Lewis, that’s me. Before this I worked a shitty statistics jobs but before that I worked for Jane Foster, you might know her? Had a thing with Thor back in the day.”

She said it utterly blasé, not making a big deal, “Thunder Bro and me are still buds, I gotta look him up. But anyway, working with Janey gave me a reeeeeal hankering for your science types so I figured I butt into your visit and pick your head some while we snoop around.” Darcy had no qualms in being honest about her motives, lying wasn’t going to get her anywhere, “First question, that suit o’yours, how’d you make it so flattering for the figure?” Okay it wasn’t the most important question but it’d been weighing on her mind.

Usually if someone approached him on purpose (and by name) it wasn’t anything good, but he was fairly sure that Pepper’s secretary couldn’t have much reason for sinister intentions. She didn’t leave him guessing for very long, even if her answer was surprising.

“You uh…read my papers?” It wasn’t that his research was ignored, exactly, and he’d been one of the foremost experts on gamma radiation in the world for years, but it wasn’t exactly the kind of work one did for mass consumption. Not least of all because it was apparently dull to read, or so he’d been told. “Why?”

He realized belatedly that the response might have been rude and reeled it back in. “I mean, yes, I’m Bruce Banner. Hello.” Fangirlish?

“Yea!” She grinned, “See, in my masters year I got chummy and helped out Jane Foster, best astrophysicist you’ll ever see, and I got kinda hooked into the heavy-handed sciences and tried to expand my brain power some.” she explained, knocking her fist lightly against the side of her head.

“I found your older papers on radiation and they were super interesting, though I read the ones on nuclear physics first cause that was a little more related to Janey’s work, looking for ways to open and power the bifrost, y’know?” she asked, like it was an everyday task. “Some real interesting conclusions about how gamma radiation can effect its surroundings.”  

“Oh, sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself, I’m Darcy Lewis!” she held a hand out to shake, “Nice to meetcha.”

When: Present Day Where: Stark Industries With: Bruce B @doctorrbbanner

Darcy had just wrapped up another small press release (only a few edits needed really) and was heading back to her office outside Pepper’s when she spotted a figure that, despite never meeting them before, was familiar. Unable to stop herself (impulse control was never her thing) she waltzed right on up with a big smile and spoke.

‘Hey! You’re Dr. Banner right? Sorry for the fangirlish accosting but I read some of your older articles on Gamma radiation a few years back and found’em super interesting! Are you cracking out any new stuff right now?”

When: Present Day Where: Star City (Streets) With: Sam @kentuckyrocket​

“Heyyyyy! Get your ass back here shit-head! I am not supposed to run in these shoes!!” God-dammit, her job demanded she dressed up but she was not made for running in stilettos but was giving it as good as she got while her purse-snatcher legged it down the road. She saw him turn a corner and was convinced she’d lost the guy, Pepper was gonna be annoyed, her phone was in that bag! Her candy was in that bag!

She eventually rounding the corner to see her would-be mugger on the floor, scrambling up to run away and a guy in a different hoodie and hat holding her purse, “H-hey!” she panted, hobbling closer, “T-that’s mine. Whew, Jesus I am unfit.” she huffed, almost bending over, “C-could I get that back please, my gummy bears are in there.” And several high-profile Stark Industries info, “T-thanks by the way,” she straightened up, brushed her hair back and smiled, “Way to be a knight in shining hoodie.”

When: Present Day Where: Star City (Streets) With: Thor @xpirate-angel​

There was a big difference between knowing someone was in a city and being able to find them. Stalking areas where candid shots of Thor had been taken on instagram was only getting her so far and Darcy was getting fed up, the man didn’t even know she was in the city! It wasn’t like there as a phone-line direct to Asgard... or was there...

She may have been standing outside a coffee shop in the middle of the city but Darcy had never cared much about what other people thought, so she unceremoniously threw her head back and yelled, “HEY HEIMDALL! DO A GIRL A FAVOUR AND TELL THOR TO MEET ME HERE WILL YA!” Several people looked at her oddly but she met every gaze and none of them dared to say anything back. 

She huffed out a breath, put her hands on her hips and spun in a slow circle, how long would it take? That was if it even worked at all and if not she was officially fresh out of ideas... Just as she was contemplating that idea she looked up and right into the eyes of one tall and strapping God of Thunder, complete with takeaway Starbucks in hand. 

Darcy’s jaw dropped and she looked up at the sky, pointed and yelled, “You are good!” before laughing and running at her old friend, launching herself into his arms, “Thor old buddy old pal!” she cried, wrapping her arms around his neck, “I missed you big guy! You gotta get a smart phone!”
