Chapter Text
That awkward moment when the Avengers realize they all love/want Darcy.
Natasha realized she might love Darcy Lewis when the young glorified assistant/baby sitter (seriously, that team needed more than one) found for her a little Russian bakery and bought her Biskvit every Wednesdays. it was her only weakness and Darcy Lewis was a godsend. Natasha decided to take her under her wing. And yes, if she wasn't so hetero, she would marry her. New York was great like that. 'Who knows, the assassin thought, anything can happen."
Clint Barton realized he might love Darcy Lewis when she found him the first edition of his favorite comic book Green Arrow, the very first number of the series. No one knew about his little superhero fetish and he swore she was some kind of Sherlock Holmes. She just appeared at his door one night, a big smile on her adorable face and the holy Grail of comic books in her hands. He asked her to marry him on the spot but she declined. "Well, he thought, it's not like I'm not patient or anything."
Steve Rogers realised he might love Darcy Lewis when she taught him how not to fall into traps on the internet. He became almost as versatile as the rest of the team about memes and pop-culture. He watched various tv shows with her and she always had the patience to explain things to him. She also gave him art supplies and posed for him when they had some down time with saving the world from alien invasions. "She is a swell dame this one, he thought, I'll probably need courting advise from the internet."
Tony Stark realised he wanted Darcy Lewis because boobs.And HOLY COW snark!
Bruce Banner realised he might love Darcy Lewis when she randomly made him warm milk to soothe him, just like his mom would do when he was a kid. She even put honey in it. She was also funny and always tried to sheer him up by giving him ideas about cupcake recipes - a new hobby of his she introduced him to. "I could create a Darcy cupcake and seduce her with it, he thought, the way to a woman's heart is her stomach, I'm sure of it."
Thor knew he loved Darcy Lewis like a sister since the very first time she gave him pop-tarts, coffee and threaten to tase his godly balls if he ever thought of hurting dear precious Jane. He promised he never will and she became the sister he never had (he didn't count Loki in female form because it was too traumatizing when Fandral would declaim poems about his/her formidable figure). "Maybe Odin can give her a room in our Asgard home, he thought, and we'll watch Midgardian tiny ministrels on the funny cube and eat ice cream together when my Jane would be brilliant with science."
Darcy Lewis loved the Avengers, but seriously, they were kids and she needed a holiday.
