"Look I could care less whether you live or wether you die!" Peter yelled at Gamora. Sheesh a little harsh much. I could also tell he was lying and actually did care.
"Then why stop the big guy?" Gamora asked. Valid point.
"Cause you know where to sell my orb" Peter answered. I don't think that orb is safe to sell.
"How are we gonna sell it when we and it are still here?" Gamora asked. Escape Gamora. Escape.
"My friend Rocket here has escaped 22 prisons." Quill said gesturing to Rocket.
"Oh we're getting out. Then we're going straight to Yondu to collect that bounty." He said smirking.
"How much was the buyer willing to pay for the orb?" I wondered aloud.
Gamora sighed and replied, "Four billion units"
"What"
"Holy Sh-"
"Damn"
"That orb is my opportunity to get away from Thanos." Gamora continued, "If you can get us out of here I'll split the profit among the four of us."
"I am Groot"
"Five of us. Asleep for the danger awake for the money as per frickin usual." Rocket translated
—————————
Me and Gamora walked back to our cells together. Something was bothering me though. No it was not the cut on my arm.
"I didn't save you for the orb you know?" I asked her
"I know." She said
"Did Ronan really kill your whole family?" She asked me.
I nodded sadly, "Yeah my parents died trying to protect us and when we went to help them we were hit into a wall. I woke first and tried to wake my siblings but they wouldn't wake up so I moved on to my parents who were dying and they made me promise to move on with my life and some other stuff. I cried myself to sleep and when I woke up my siblings were gone so I assumed their bodies were taken. I walked out and saw the planet in ruins so I ran."
Gamora listened until I was done and then patted my back as I was tearing up from retelling the story.
"What were their names?" She asked
"My mother, Eclipse, My father, Shadow, My brother, Solare, and My sister, Aurora." I replied
"That's where you got the name from huh?" She wondered
I nodded and by that point we had reached the cells so we parted ways to go to sleep.
——————————
I woke up to a knocking sound on the window. I saw Gamora on the other side gesturing for me to go outside for breakfast. I stretched and got up going outside. We met up at a table to discuss the escape plan.
"If we're gonna get out of here we need to get into that watchtower" Rocket said starting us off and gesturing to the watchtower in the middle of the prison court, "and to do that I'm gonna need a few things."
"The guards wear security bands to control their ins and outs, I need one." Rocket said
"Leave it to me" Gamora said
"I'll come too just in case." I joined in. She sent me a questioning glance and I just shook my head in a tell you later manner.
"That dude there" Rocket continued pointing to a guy with a metal leg. "I need his prosthetic leg" I sent him a glare knowing he didn't actually need it because why would he.
"His leg?" Quill questioned also skeptical.
"Yeah, God knows I don't need the rest of him look at him he's useless." Rocket replied
"Alright" Quill said and I internally face palmed
"And lastly you see panel over there with the blinky yellow light?"
"Yeah" Quill said
"There's a quanryx battery behind it and for this to work I definitely need that."
"How are we supposed to get it?" Gamora asked
"Well supposedly these bald bodies find you two attractive so maybe you can work out some kind of a trade." Rocket responded and I grimaced at the idea.
"You must be joking" Gamora said glaring at him.
"No I heard they really find you attractive"
"Look it's twenty feet in the air and in the middle of the most highly guarded area of the prison. It's impossible to get." Quill interrupted
"Well I got one plan and it requires a frickin quants battery so FIGURE IT OUT!" Rocket said getting irritated. There was a yell in the background.
"Now can I get back to it?" He questioned, "Now this is important, once we get the battery everything is gonna slam into emergency mode so we gotta move quickly when we get it and we should definitely get it last." Rocket finished and just then alarms started blaring.
"Or we could get it first and improvise!" He yelled annoyed when he saw Groot holding it out to him smiling.
"We'll get the armband" Gamora said dragging me off to the stairs. We ran up to the third level and saw a bunch of guards there. We shared a look smirking then jumped in. Gamora knocked out two guards while I got two more with my wings. I decided to use my powers as this was an urgent situation but they were a little weaker than usual. She jumped on one and knocked him down with a punch. Another guard was aiming his gun at her but I was faster and shot a small fireball at him melting part of the gun and forcing him to drop it. That guy was the last guard and had an armband so Gamora grabbed his arm with her leg.
"We'll be needing this." She said
"Good luck it's internally wired." The guy said
"Well then I guess we'll have to take the whole arm then huh?" I mockingly asked
He looked at me in fear but I just nodded to Gamora who broke his arm off. I then grabbed the arm and knocked him out with it. I cauterized the wound so he can't die from blood loss and had to live with his failure. I know it's kinda harsh but he deserves it for being a jerk. Gamora stared at me for a second seeming shocked at my decision but I just gave her a light push towards the railing as I tore the armband out of the broken limb. I gave it to her and she seemed to snap out of it.
"Rocket" she yelled to get his attention from shooting like a maniac and threw the band at him. Then she jumped from the railing to the watchtower and I followed. She helped Rocket up who was putting together the band and the battery into a gadget.
The door opened as the guy was calling for help and he froze upon seeing the group that started the chaos. Gamora shoved him out of the seat and Groot threw him out of the watchtower.
Gamora noticed Drax and glared at him.
"Spare me your foul gaze woman!" He told her
"Why is this one here?" She asked and I rolled my eyes thinking back to the conversation they had at the showers
"We promised him he could stay by your side until he kills your boss. I always keep my promises when they're to muscle bound whack jobs who'll kill me if I don't." Quill responded.
"Here ya go" He gave Rocket the leg and I chuckled cause he was definitely kidding.
"Oh I was just kidding about the leg." Yep I knew it
"What?" Quill exclaimed
"No I thought it would be funny. Was it funny? What'd he look like hopping around?" Rocket said.
"I had to transfer him 30,000 units!" Quill said exasperated. Rocket just laughed as he continued to work on the console.
"How are we gonna get out of here?" Drax asked
"Well he has a plan unless he made that up too!" Peter says being a little petty.
"I got a plan. I got a plan." Rocket assured.
"Cease your yammering and release use from this irksome confinement." Drax sated and I side eyed him because of the wording of his statement.
"Yeah I gotta agree with the walking thesaurus on that one." Quill commented and I sighed knowing where this is heading.
"Do not ever call me a thesaurus." Drax said threateningly.
"It's just a metaphor dude." Quill said.
"His people are completely literal. Metaphors are gonna go over his head." I rolled my eyes at the irony of that statement.
"Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it." Drax said
"I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiots in the galaxy" Gamora commented. I gave her a 'does that include me?' look and she shook her head signifying 'no'
I heard something outside and looked out the window. The guards had rocket launchers!
"Those are some big guns." Quill commented.
"Ya think." I deadpanned
One of them fired and hit the window. I jumped a little accidentally bumping Gamora.
"Rodent we are ready for your plan!" I frowned at the use of the word rodent but let it slide.
"Hold on!" Rocket yelled trying to finish as fast as he can.
Another gunshot was fired hitting the opposite window.
"I recognize this animal. We would roast them over a fire as children. Their flesh was quite delicious." Drax commented. Now is not the time for that!
"Not helping!" Rocket yelled
Another gunshot. The glass was starting to fall off.
"Rocket please." I said worriedly.
"I'm trying." He said working faster if that was possible.
Just as the last guns were about to fire he connected two wires which turned off the artificial gravity.
"He turned off the artificial gravity everywhere but in here" Gamora said leaning forward with a small smile.
Rocket did some more stuff with the console making the drones attach to the bottom and fly us to where our stuff was.
"I told you I had a plan." He said turning to face us with his arms spread.
As the watchtower landed or well more like crashed Quill said, "That was actually a pretty good plan."
