Darcy/Magneto 3
Darcy was super great at acting like nothing out-of-the-ordinary was happening. Like, just super great. If it was an Olympic sport, she would have taken all three medals.
Which was why, when Erik took her hand and started heading out of the office building, she wrapped her other hand around his elbow and walked along with him like they were totally a busy young couple who had somewhere to be.
To be fair, they were busy and had somewhere to be. Namely, not in the building when Mr. Whatsisname found out that certain things were missing from his office.
Once through glass door, Darcy turned to face Erik, her eyes darting both ways up the sidewalk. “What’s the plan now?” she asked quietly, reaching up on her toes to give him a quick kiss.
“If it was just me, I’d fly out of here.” There was a rueful expression on his face as she settled back on her heels.
She made a face. “Sorry I’m such an inconvenience to you.” The sarcasm dripping from her voice made him smile.
“I have an idea.” He started walking down the sidewalk and she fell in step beside him. Nothing was happening, just a young couple out for a stroll. Super great.
After a little bit, he stopped. “This one.”
Darcy stopped by his side and looked up at him. His eyes were trained on the car parked in front of them. “Are you serious right now? Stealing a car isn’t exactly on my list of marketable skills.”
He gave her a small smile before turning his attention to the car. The locks audibly lifted, and he bent forward and opened the passenger side door for her, gesturing with a flourish.
Her eyebrows raised as she climbed in, settling back in the seat. It was a nice car. The inside was all shiny blue leather, the seat was well-padded and comfortable. She watched him walk around the front of the car and open the driver’s side door to slide in. He looked good doing it, too.
He smiled at her, and the car just started moving. Like, no key, no engine noise, just… Car started moving. Her eyes widened as she looked at Erik, and he just smiled at her, not even watching the road.
