Perception Shift

You want to know the worst part about being kidnapped by sub-par scientists?
They sucked at science.
Magic and science didn’t mix well, despite what Jane often said about magic just being science they didn’t understand yet. There was some stuff that was just plain magical hoo-hah and science was only going to screw the science or the magic or both. That and the weak ass equipment they used. Equipment that couldn’t handle what they were trying to do because it wasn’t made for that, so it exploded.
It made getting her out easier, most of the goon squad had been killed by the initial blast and she had been back far enough to only feel a whoosh as it went sky high.
Test were done later to make sure she was alright and aside from some bumps and bruises she was fine. According to science that is.
A few weeks later had important goings on for all three of the scientists she assisted. Everyone needed her to be in what felt like 45 different places at once and all of the other interns were more interested in helping with the science. And so it began, one second she was feeling like she was starting to drown in unhealthy levels of stress as a human the next?
She was a flamingo.
Now there was a whole different kind of chaos in the lab and on unsteady bird legs she hauled ass out of there and into a nearby supply closet. Had it not been her this had happened to it would be hilarious. But since it was, it was far less funny.
Either the search had gone else where or things had calmed down outside which in turn allowed her to calm as much as she could while in her feathery body, which she was really trying quite hard to go back to normal. Wasn’t until she started to will herself back to human that the change actually took. And there Darcy Lewis was in the storage closet, fully clothed--thank god- and human once again.
After letting herself be found and another round of tests a strange mark was found on her back. Something that Thor helpfully stated implied a kind of shift. So she was a shifter, probably because of whatever was in that idiot scientists bang.
The Avengers wanting to figure out what was happening and see if they could either learn more and/or try and reverse it asked Darcy if she would be willing to have a sort of a body guard, someone to be with her if she shifted again and to protect her in case someone came for her.
Low and behold they had Baby in mind. “Thank god,” Darcy sighed when she saw her friend, “Thought I was gunna get stuck with jack booted thug.” Yeah, she was never going to let that die. Sorry Erik.
“So, whats the low down or whatever. Am I supposed to keep working or are we going on the road? The Avengers had to go avenge so I didn’t get too many deets.”
