Loki knew that he could move her physically out of the way with no issue. Even if he did not want to lay hands on her, he could step sideways into the shadows of the room and appear elsewhere, his magic had long since recovered since his initial fall and a simple trick like that would cost him nearly nothing.
Or he could sit down with her and speak.
He could try to find another lie that she would believe, it had to be more simple than telling her the truth. That was, after all, even more absurd than his lie had been. If he tried to tell her that he was an Asgardian, that he was the one responsible for all of this damage, she may well accuse him of lying. Either way, if she believed him or not, this would end in her enmity.
"You do not comprehend what it is you ask of me."
Loki remained where he stood, hands clenched into fists at his sides and a spark of anger appearing in his eyes. What right had SHIELD to ruin this for him? What right had Darcy to block his exit and demand further answers instead of letting him leave as he should?
"I have told you all that you need know. I am not the man I was, what name or home I held before is unimportant and irrelevant. I am Leita, a man with the knowledge to assist in your research and the desire to see it succeed. I wish you no harm, not now or in the future, can that not be enough? If no, then stand aside now, for there are no further answers I can give you."
But nor could he abandon her. Her or the research. Even if she stood aside, he would find a way back into their lives, back into being allowed to fix what he had broken.
