    Summary

    Darcy wasn't enough to actually save the world. Or anyone for that matter.
    But she made Tony laugh when he was getting wasted at 10 o'clock in the morning and kept an eye on Jane's sleeping habits and explained human customs to Thor and expanded Steve's knowledge of modern pop-culture and kicked Clint's ass in Call of Duty. Made a fool of herself when Bruce was busy taking himself too seriously just to make him smile and talked Natasha into braiding her hair whenever it looked like she was shutting herself off.
    And if that meant she never had a place in the spotlight herself she was fine with it. If it meant she would be there to offer support while they all were out there, saving the world, instead of getting her own chance to be the hero it was a deal she was willing to take.
    They were meant for greatness. Jane's fate had been written in the stars and hers on a gravestone but that didn't mean she would simply sit and wait for the day that had filled her childhood nights with horror.

    She would be the best fucking side-kick the world would never hear about.

    Most days she could pretend that was enough.
