It was nice getting the whole gang together like this without it being the end of the world.
Darcy mostly knew Thor's side of things. They'd kept in touch over the years even after the Snap. He hadn't been in a good way, and she'd been focused on her doctorate. Both of them were just trying to get by a new, strange world. But now everyone was back. Mostly everyone. The losses of Tony and Natasha hung in the air even as they all celebrated being there together. Wanda was also noticeably missing. After losing Vision, she'd gone off on her own and needed space from what she'd heard. Darcy worried about her, but she also knew it was her business.
She was Team Asgard. She'd been helping out around New Asgard with King Val while Jane got the best treatment available for the cancer. It made her heart heavy to see her vibrant, passionate best friend look so exhausted, but they were hopeful. This new round of treatment seemed promising, and Thor had been scouting the galaxy for something to cure her completely.
But today was supposed to be about haply things, so Darcy mixed and mingled. She flitted from one group to another as she chatted up a storm and laughed brightly. She easily went from playing tag with the kids to giving unsolicited grilling advice to Clint and Scott to helping out Sarah and Sam in the kitchen. She was a force of nature that hadn't stopped moving, so by the time she made it to the food table, she was starved.
Her eyes zeroed in on the hefty plate of food held before her. It made her brows shoot up. The plate was held by a strong arm that led to very broad chest and a rather handsome face. Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She knew who he was though he didn't know her. She remembered learning all about him and Captain America in middle school. While girls swooned over Steve, Darcy had been rather taken with the grainy black and white photo of Bucky Barnes where he flashed a rather charming devil may care sort of smile.
He didn't quite look like that now, but it didn't take away from his beauty. This time, it was she who flashed the charming smile. "To tell you the truth, my heart wants to eat all of that, but I know my eyes are bigger than my stomach," she explained to him. "And unfortunately, I definitely do not have a fast metabolism."
