With Darcy
Darcy woke up slowly. Her mouth felt like something died and grew fuzz. She tried to get up only to not be able to lift her arms or legs. Looking down her arms and legs were strapped down. Darcy tried to slip out of one of the restraints but could not budge.
“You should stop there is no way for you to get out. We have made sure of that.”
“Who is we?”
“Let’s say we know all of your family and we are not fans.”
“You mean Jane? How can you not like Jane? Jane is awesome.”
“Thor, Jake, Elliot. We know all of them.”
“Well not all of them. Momma is a jailbird. If you know her than I might not want to know you. Then I am here for what exactly. I can make a mean pop tart, but I would need to get up first.”
“We took the first part of what we were doing while you were asleep. Don’t worry we will give it back later today. We understand we are in a tight timeline.”
“What present am I to get from my family’s enemies? I thought I was my family’s enemy. They told me enough times when I was growing up. That I was only good for the money I was bringing to the family from the state.”
“Soldat!” A man comes in. Darcy thought she would climb him like a tree if he was not a bad guy. “This is Hydra’s best Asset. We are going to make you grow a new Asset for us. When we thought of this a new group came to us. They talked about how a certain lab assistant for Thor’s girlfriend had a very interesting ancestry. So, we made a deal. They would help us Then we reached out to a certain contact. Come to find out you have a connection with him as well. I will just let you two get to know you each other.”
“Ok. Hey how long have I been your guest?”
“Just a day.”
The man just walked out. Darcy looked at Soldat. She studied him. He looked familiar for some reason. She knew the only way to get out of this was to get him on her side. She needed out now.
“So, is your name Soldat or something else.” He says nothing. “Do you know what they are going to do to me?” Again, he says nothing.
“Do you know what they mean by having me grow a new Asset?” Still nothing.
Darcy just keeps talking for the next hour.
“Handler will let me train the child when it is ready to become an Asset.”
Darcy stops talking. They want her to have a child. What the fuck? “Do you want to have a kid? I know I do but not right now. Jane still acts like a toddler. I want to get her to at least a teenager before I have one of my own. I think of adding to the chaos of the lab needs to wait. Do you think Handler would let me live to raise our kid? I mean I have no problem raising it on my own. Do you want to be involved or just training it to do assassin things? Are you ok with them killing the mother of your child?” Still Soldat did not say anything. Though each time she talked about the child something showed in his eyes. “Do you think they will let us name the child? Maybe they will let us pick godparents.” Before Darcy could really get into her questions again the room began to fill with gas, and she fell asleep. She just knew she would be pregnant when she woke up. Well crap.
When she awakes again Soldat was the only one there. “How long was I out this time?”
He does not answer.
“So, I guess we are going to have a kid together. If they would if asked, I might have said yes because you are hot. We could have done this the old fashion way. That way I could have climbed you like a tree and gone around the world. I guess since they would not let us then we should start with names for our science baby. So, if it is a girl, I thought we could name her Frigga. She was Thor’s mom, but she died so I thought it would be nice. I mean science it is a science baby we could name it Jane, but Jan is still alive. That would be weird right? Naming a baby after someone who is still alive? What do you think?”
“Becca.”
“If we have a girl you want to name her Becca. I guess that is short for something right. Maybe Rebecca. Humm.. That sound nice. Any reason why? I mean you came out with that name pretty quickly. Was that your mom’s name or grandmother? Ok if it is a boy. I really don’t know what about James?”
Soldat’s body changes with the name. “No. Steve.”
“Steve like Captain America? I thought Hydra hated Captain America. Is that another family name? Also, why not James? I mean I could understand Frigga because it is a little out there.”
Soldat’s body stiffens. “Can you stand?”
“Why? I mean yes but why? It is not like they would want me walking around. As you can see, they are still treating me like a mental patient.” Soldat moved toward the restraints letting Darcy out. She shook her hands and legs out. Darcy tried to slowly put weight on her legs. She knew it has been a least a day since she has been on her feet. She stumbles a little but stands up.
“Good we need to go now.”
“What?”
“We are going to run now.”
“Why?”
“You and the baby are not safe. Handler wants to name the baby James. Thinks it would be funny.”
“Why would naming the baby James be funny. I was thinking of Captain America’s best friend James or Bucky Barnes.”
“Handler says I am this James Barnes man. Handler says that Hydra should just track down all of the Barnes line and make them Assets to help the King.”
“King?’
“Yes. Your ancestor was Arthur Pendragon or King Arthur the Once and Future King.”
“I protect the child. My child. Our child. We must hurry.”
“Do we have a chance for a pit stop I really got to pee. Oh, and stop calling our baby a King. This baby could easily be a Queen.”
