Darcy glanced sideways at Jane's closed door, wondering if she was behind there or already at the lab. Really, showing him around all the equipment was something best left to Jane who actually knew what things were called and more about what they did aside from whirring around, making strange noises, and occasionally needing to be bashed against the wall.
There were other ways she would prefer to spend her Saturday, but it seemed that with Erik's departure and Jane's possible disappearing act, it was up to her to play hostess. Hopefully Jane was already pouring over recent data in an attempt to piece together how Thor had come to Earth, and their newfound partner in science could just jump right in.
"Sure. I just need a shower." She shrugged her shoulders, a bit uncomfortable with the overly formal mode of address, not the least of which because it was so reminiscent of their Asgardian visitors. Suspicion again itched across her shoulders.
There had been no meteorological anomaly to herald the stranger's appearance, so he couldn't be from Asgard. If nothing else, it should have been Thor who appeared on Earth, not some bedraggled young man supposedly cast off by SHIELD in the middle of the desert with nothing more than the clothes on his back.
Yeah. She could see why Erik was pissed.
Excusing herself, she finished her coffee and left the mug in the sink as she went to shower and prepare for the day. She would grab breakfast after introducing him to the cobbled together wonders of Jane's lab, maybe even bring something back for everyone else if she was feeling magnanimous. Pulling damp hair back with a tie, she casually knocked on Jane's door, then poked her head inside after offering loud and ample warning.
Nothing. Unsurprising, given the recent developments.
Sighing, she began herding the stranger into her car.
