So they had never truly escaped SHIELD's claws after all. It bothered her tremendously, knowing that she'd been spied upon, and she frantically thought back to everything they had said within the flat that would have been overheard. If Loki hadn't suddenly entered their lives, SHIELD would still be spying on them.
It made sense that he wouldn't want his presence known. Had he dismantled SHIELD's technology entirely, or allowed bits and pieces to filter through so they would not grow suspicious? Did that have something to do with Jane's offer of funding?
Quietly, she asked, "Were there cameras, or just listening devices?" If those jerks had been spying on her in the shower, then there would be hell to pay.
"Hey, don't worry about it." Darcy returned to the hallway to fetch her phone, then stared at it, nibbling on her lower lip as she ran through discussion scenarios in the hopes of finding one that had a greater than average likelihood of succeeding. Jane would be wound tight, concerned for Darcy's safety. If she was able to reassure her that she was fine, Jane's thoughts would once more return to her experiments.
With luck. Something Darcy seemed to be running out of.
Sighing, she called up Jane, who answered on the first ring, sounding breathless. The conversation did not go as smoothly as she had hoped, and both of them started yelling a few times, but in the end, when Darcy ended the call, everything was settled.
"She bought it," she said to Loki, not looking entirely pleased with herself. "Jane will be back in a few days, once she's done negotiating with SHIELD." Stressed from having to lie so thoroughly to one of her closest friends, Darcy brushed past him and retreated into her bedroom.
