Who Doesn't Love Me ~ Joaquín Torres

synopsis: Joaquín is used to everyone loving him from the moment they meet

tw: fem!reader, gotg!reader, reader has a small self deprecation moment, barely edited.

fic, ficlet, drabble, request

I'm obsessed with this idea! A little disappointed I didn't even think of it!! And yes this makes PERFECT sense, I am the queen of nonsensical rambling when I get an idea stuck in my head (my best friend can attest to that). Are you all sick of me writing yet? Probably not, I'm taking hours between posts 💀

➽──────────────❥

Joaquín Torres truly believed everyone was going to love him as soon as they meet him. Not in a cocky way, but in the way that everyone in his life has loved him pretty much as soon as they met him.

Then you came along, you were smart, pretty, capable of getting anything done, and you didn't like him. Ok, you didn't not like him, you just weren't sure about him.

You grew up on Yondu's ship with only the people on it as your social points, you weren't the greatest when it came to new people. You were polite, you smiled at Joaquín and gave him a small wave, but nothing more. You didn't necessarily go out of your away avoid him, you just tried to stay out of his way. You would slink off when he entered a room, you would keep your interactions short, and you would be polite yet short with him in unavoidable conversations.

It drove Joaquín crazy, he couldn't stand the thought of someone, especially you, not liking him. He tried his hardest, he would keep talking to you and seeking you out until you liked him. But it never worked, you kept running from him like he was diseased.

"I just don't get it Sam," Joaquín fell onto the couch of the little lake house everyone was staying in. Your crew's ship outside and broken and unusable until someone came with a replacement piece. "Why won't she talk to me?"

"Have you tried letting her come to you? She's been in space her whole life, she's probably not used to all of this," Sam gestured to around them vaguely.

"You're probably right," Joaquín mumbled and shifted to look at the TV.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

Joaquín did what Sam said, he let you come to him. And you did, after the third day of Joaquín not coming to you, you started to miss him. You missed his stupid jokes, his attempts to include you, and his voice. You missed his goddamn voice and face, and you hated it.

"And then boom!" Peter was telling a dramatized version of some events.

"That's not what happened, he was too busy staring at Gamora," you muttered under your breath, not thinking anyone was listening to you. But you were wrong, Joaquín was and he let out a quiet laugh at your words.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

Your relationship with Joaquín changed from that moment, you would spent more time with him and got more comfortable with being around him. You were in the room he was staying in as he was putting his laundry away, his music was playing. In a language he said was Spanish, one of the many spoken on Earth. Joaquín extended his hand out to you and you gently took it, confused.

"Dance with me," Joaquín told you and you tilted your head.

"Dance?" You questioned.

"You do now how to dance?"

"I don't know what dance is," you muttered, looking away in embarrassment.

"I'll teach you," he told you, his voice soft. He moved one of his hands to your waist and you took a step back ready to fight him. "You need to trust me," his voice was quieter but you nodded, letting him grab your waist gently and pull you closer to him again. You may not know how to dance, but you could tell that you were moving too slow for the song. Joaquín guided you to sway side to side with him, both of his hands on your waist while yours were locked behind his neck.

"This is how you dance?" You made eye contact with Joaquín, uncertainty dancing in your eyes.

"With someone you like, yeah," Joaquín felt the wave of confidence he had wash away when your eyebrows furrowed and you stopped moving for a moment.

"You like me?" It came out more self deprecating than you wanted it to, but you couldn't take it back now.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?"

"I'm from space, I know I'm a little weird," you said it like it was an end all be all.

"I'm from Florida, I'm used to weird," you scrunched your eyebrows again.

"Florida?"

"I've got a lot to teach you, mi vida," Joaquín gently laughed as he pressed his forehead to yours.

"Does that mean you actually like me?" Joaquín could see the hopefulness dance across your face.

"Yeah, it does," Joaquín affirmed and you smiled at him.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

"Ready to go?" Nebula grabbed your arm but you just stood there, your expression neutral as you stared at Joaquín standing there waving at you.

"I," you looked away from Joaquín and towards your friends, your family. "I think I want to stay," you muttered, looking down at the ground beneath your feet.

"We know," Peter gave you a small smile and you whipped your head up to look at him.

"What?" You all but shrieked.

"We see the way you look at the bird boy," Mantis informed you. "I can feel the love radiating from the two of you," she continued.

"You're not mad?" You questioned and they all shook their head.

"Stay safe, kid. We'll come visit," Rocket gave your leg a hug and you smile down at him. You said your goodbyes to your family before stepping back to stand with Joaquín, his arm wrapping around your waist as soon as he could.

"Think you're ready to learn some more?" Joaquín asked, trying to ease the tension in your shoulders.

"Can I pick what I learn first?" You questioned, fighting off the smirk threatening to take over your face.

"Sure, go ahead," Joaquín smiled at you. You said nothing as you kissed him, it was a quick peck on his lips but it lingered long enough for him to process it.

"Think you can teach me how to improve my skills?" You tilted your head as you spoke, your smirk finally breaking free. Joaquín had a smirk of his own before pulling you to him by the waist, your lips meeting in the middle.

More Than a Mission - Chapter 1

"Alright, so it's easy," Rocket explained to the team. "Bangdat has this really old rock in the castle's private armory. It's got this metal called pnervonium in it. We get that, we make our big ass gun. We make our big ass gun, we can kill Geraldamine and free the Republic of Fendir. Make sense?"

The Guardians all nodded and hummed in affirmation, so Rocket continued.

"Adam, you get to be the star of our show here."

"B-But why me?" Adam had been continuing to learn and grow as he spent more time with the team. He was confident in his abilities as a fighter, and he knew he was intelligent, but he also now knew he wasn't a perfect being and that there was plenty more to learn. He wasn't sure that he would be the right one for this job. He could admit that his socials skills might've been...underdeveloped.

"Well, kid, you have class. Quill and I are assholes, Drax is an idiot 97% of the time, Mantis comes on a bit too strong, Groot isn't exactly the most desirable suitor, and Gamora and Nebula quite frankly have enough issues to deal with already. You're our only hope," Rocket explained. Adam hesitated before nodding his agreement and waiting for Rocket to further explain his role.

"You've gotta woo the princess."

"Woo the princess?"

"Woo the princess."

"What does that mean?"

"It means you go in, kill her parents, and tell her just how much she turns you on before you make love to her for 24 hours straight," Drax deadpanned.

"What the hell? No! Jesus, don't do that Adam!" Quill practically shouted. Adam was still trying to process half of what Drax had said, but knew better than to try. "You've got to be kind and polite. Get to know her, know her values. Impress her and her alive parents."

"Oh, okay, so I become friends with her?" Adam asked, trying to clarify his instructions.

"Well, sorta. You become really, really good friends with her. You've gotta get her to fall in love with you. Or at least get her to like you enough to let you down into the armory and you tell us the best way to get in. Once everyone's asleep, we sneak in, steal the stupid rock, take you, and get the hell off that planet," Rocket said.

Adam, still slightly confused, nodded. He could figure it out along the way.

"Good, cause we already sent the King and Queen notice of a new suitor coming their way."

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Adam enjoyed his walk to the palace despite the frigid temperatures. Everything seemed peaceful in a way. Waterfalls and rivers were still running free, and plants he had never seen before were in bloom. The snow fell softly, and he heard it crunch under his boots as he approached the guards. Instead of stopping him, they bowed to him and let him pass. Rocket's message must've been pretty convincing.

He took in the architecture around him. It was beautiful, like something he'd seen in a storybook Mantis had found for him from another planet. The walls were pale blue and looked almost as if they'd been made from ice. The paintings in the ceiling told stories of brave knights and beautiful queens, all surrounded by metal that was so intricate, so delicate. Adam couldn't help but wonder what the King and Queen of Bangdat would be like. More importantly, what would the Princess be like?

On the trip to Bangdat, Quill had told him plenty of "fairytales" from Earth for educational purposes. Ones of Princesses being poisoned, cursed, and trapped. This princess, as far as he could tell, was not anything like that. Adam found himself longing for the "happily ever after" that repeated itself in Quill's tales. He knew it was just a mission, but what if it was something more?

Would his princess be warm, friendly, and kind? Would he protect her and keep her safe from the beasts of the universe? Would she read with him at night in front of a fireplace, calm and content?

Adam was lost in his thoughts, but as he approached more guards on his way to the throne room, he collected himself.

As he entered, a guard made an announcement.

"His Royal Highness, Adam, the Warlock of the Sovereign!"

He kneeled before the King and Queen, head down as a sigh of respect.

"You may stand, young prince," the King said. He and his wife were old, both wrinkled and with a white-grey hair that seemed silver in the light of the palace. "You think yourself to be a suitor worthy of the Princess of Bangdat?" he queried.

"I do, your Majesty," Adam confirmed confidently, just like Rocket told him.

"Then let you have one week with her, and then we shall see if she deems you worthy. Daughter?" The King called for the Princess.

And when she entered the throne room, Adam felt as if he saw the universe standing before him. The Princess of Bangdat was more beautiful than any creature he had ever laid eyes upon. Her eyes seemed to glow, and her dress complimented her shape and complexion.

The only problem was, she glared down at Adam.

"Let there be a ball in celebration of my daughter and her suitor tomorrow evening!" The King announced.

Adam grew worried. He had a week to get her to love him, and a day to make her comfortable enough to dance with him.

He would try his best.

[abydell]

Short bit I wrote back in 2017. Set after Vol. 2.

Nebula had stayed with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Kraglin doesn't have the fin yet....

------

Nebula cursed under her breath as a series of sparks flew from the open panel in her forearm. She was having more trouble than usual repairing some damaged components she’d acquired during this last battle.

Rocket was busy making critical repairs to the ship. That was fine, Nebula wouldn’t ask for assistance anyway unless absolutely necessary, and Gamora always had to pin her down to get her to admit she even needed it in those cases.

As per usual, the rest Guardians had gone in on the main mission, leaving Nebula behind to cover their escape, and Kraglin waiting in the drop ship to pilot a quick getaway. And also as usual, things did not go according to plan.

Nebula had been ambushed by five Sakaraan battle hounds. She’d quickly taken down three with a couple precise shots, when her blaster got knocked from her hand by another’s blaster bolt striking her wrist.

A Mercenary, dressed all in black, appeared out of nowhere. They’d sprang forward, kicking her down to the ground as the remaining hounds pounced. Nebula cried out when one of the creatures jaws clamped down on her forearm. She gritted her teeth as she forced a power surge to electrocute the beast.

As she lay there weakened, the Merc stood over her and trained the barrel of it’s gun right between her eyes, “Say goodnigh-”

A bright bolt suddenly blasted into the side of the merc’s head, and they fell over dead. The remaining hound was immediately dispatched as well.

Nebula's head fell to the side in the direction the shots had come from and she saw Kraglin come sprinting through the trees. Lowering his riffle, he skidded to a stop and knelt down beside her. His eyes flicked over her, assessing her injuries.

“Oh Shit Neb! You okay?” he panted.

Nebula growled and tried to get up, but faltered.

“Hey hey hey,“ Kraglin said quickly, concern in his voice as he placed a hand on her shoulder, “Maybe you shouldn’t.”

Nebula knocked his hand away, “Shut up.” she groused. But then grabbed onto his arm and pulled herself up. Kraglin steadied her as she stood and he helped her back to the ship.

(Later back on the ship)

Sparks flew again and Nebula threw down her tool in frustration.

“Ya need some help with that?” a voice asked from the open doorway. Nebula’s eyes darted up and she saw Kraglin standing there with a curious expression on his face. She didn’t know how long he had been watching, obviously long enough to witness her struggle.

“No.” Nebula replied grumpily.

“Alright, just, it’d get done faster with a couple more hands is all, ‘stead of just one…” he remarked.

She stared at him a second longer then rolled her eyes, “Fine.” she relented.

Kraglin scratched above his ear as he stepped forward and sat down on the seat across the table from her. Once settled in, he cleared his throat and reached out, taking her wrist. Then slowly pulled her arm towards himself.

Nebula suddenly felt a strange sensation bolt through her. A sort of tenseness she was quite unfamiliar with. Her eyes darted between Kraglin’s face to where he gently held her wrist. But he kept his eyes down, trained on the breach that revealed the inner workings of her arm.

Outwardly Kraglin seemed nonplussed, but in the back of his mind, it was like he was pulling a thorn from the paw of an A'askavariian wild beast. He worked carefully. He was probably the second most tech proficient member on the team, after Rocket of course, but he sure didn’t want to make any kind of mistakes here.

“Okay, tell me if this hurts…” he said as he moved the tool inside.

“Why?” Nebula asked bluntly. Of all the times someone had operated on her in the past, some cybernetic surgeon hired or forced into it by Thanos; they’d never cared if they had caused her any pain.

Kraglin’s expression was a little confused, “Cause I don’t wanna hurt ya.” he said simply.

Nebula blinked, “Why do you care?” she asked in a slightly more gentle tone.

He glanced up, meeting her shiny dark eyes for only a second before looking back down, shaking his head a bit. “We're a team Neb.” was all he said and went back to working. Apparently he need not explain any further.

After a few minutes, he spoke again, “Alright, how’s that?” he asked, sitting back as Nebula curled her fingers into a fist a couple times. She looked at him. “It’s good.” she told him.

Kraglin nodded and he leaned forward again as she offered her arm to him. He began to carefully close up the panel. She watched intently as he slowly slid his thumbs down along the edges; caressing the fine seem where her skin met metal. He paused when he ended up holding her hand in both of his. Their eyes locked and they stared at each other for a long moment, both unsure why neither seemed reluctant to pull away. Nebula blinked first, Kraglin released a breath he unknowingly had been holding.

“Yep. So ah, you’re welcome,” he quickly let go of her and stood, “I’ll um, see ya later Neb.” he turned and walked out.

Nebula’s head cocked to the side as he disappeared around the corner. She sat there in silence, trying to figure out exactly what had just occurred.

Kraglin was odd, Nebula thought to herself, but so was everyone on the ship in their own ways. He didn’t seem to fear her, and maybe it was because they were both newer members on the team, but he always tired to include her in whatever was going on or make a point to ask what she thought about the plans for their upcoming missions and such.

----

Kraglin had prepared dinner for the group the next evening; some kind of savory soup accompanied by a mix of greens and meat. It was much better than most of the fare they’d had lately.

Drax laughed as he watched Nebula drink down most of her soup in one go. He gestured at Kraglin. “Haha, here I thought Yondu hadn’t taught either of you how to cook a proper meal…” Drax began, “But no, it’s just Quill who is terrible at it.” he commented.

“Hey, my stuff isn’t terrible.” Peter responded indignantly.

“I am Groot.”

“Groot’s right. It sucks.” Rocket affirmed.

“You all ate it.” Peter argued.

“Just because it’s technically edible, doesn’t mean it ain’t terrible Quill.” Rocket spoke out. “How you manage to make it raw on the outside and burnt on the inside I’ll never know.” Rocket shook his head.

“Fine, I’ll admit, cooking is not my greatest skill, but I make up for it by being really amazing at a lot of other stuff...” He turned his head, “Huh Gamora?”

“Huh?” Gamora had missed what he’d said, too taken by her meal.

“We can have dessert later if you want.” His eyebrows popped up at her suggestively.

“Is he talking about sex again?” Mantis asked loudly.

“And there goes my appetite.” Rocket muttered in disappointment before collecting his dish and leaving the table.

“Anyway, Kraglin, this is great.” Peter told him sincerely.

Kraglin smiled. “Thanks Pete.”

Drax, Mantis, and Quill finished their food pretty quickly, leaving just Kraglin and the two daughters of Thanos remaining at the table. Kraglin watched Nebula twirl her fork expertly around her fingers before stabbing it down into a bit a meat. He smirked, “How’s the arm doin?” he asked her.

“It’s much better. I think those wires you bypassed made for a faster response and I no longer have that slight pain sensation in my wrist.”

“Glad to hear it.” He spied her empty bowl, “You uh, want some more soup?”

Her eyes flicked from the bowl to Kraglin, “Yes.” she replied.

“I’ll get it for ya.” He stood and took her bowl.

“Thank you.” Nebula said awkwardly, the words unfamiliar to her.

“No problem Neb.” He replied.

Gamora’s eyes came up and flicked curiously between the two as Kraglin retreated into the galley kitchen. She studied Nebula and caught the tiniest hint of a smile from her sister as she poked at her plate. Gamora tilted her head, her own smile appearing. “I never thought I would see the day...”

“What?” Nebula grumped, her eyes darting nervously.

“Kraglin…” Gamora jerked her head in his direction, “You like him, don’t you?”

“I don’t know what your talking about.” Nebula snapped, not meeting her sister’s eyes.

“Its fine, I get it.” Gamora told her genially. “I was afraid too at first…with Peter.”

“I don’t want to hear about you and Star Lord…and I am not afraid.” Nebula contested.

“Understood,” Gamora nodded as she rose from her seat, “but if you have any questions or ever want to talk about…anything, you know where to find me.”

Nebula watched Gamora leave and scoffed. She was not going to end up like her sister; fooling around in some former Ravager boy’s bed every night.

Nope, she was definitely not going to do that…

Kraglin came back from the kitchen with a bowl only quarter full. “Sorry Neb, this’s all that’s left.” he told her.

“It’s fine.” Nebula replied, too aware of how their fingers touched as he passed the bowl to her.

After a moment Kraglin spoke again, “…So ah, you gonna want dessert?” he asked.

Nebula nearly choked on her soup.

Despite All Your Losing Addendum

Since there were questions about how the timeline might be altered

aka How Thor's "Happy Ending" led to a Happy Ending

slightly NSFW

The prayer stretched across the universe and performed a minor miracle. After Thanos used the Space Stone to send his fleet across the universe, the aftermath of Thano's battle with Thor and the Hulk caught up with him.

Thanos: There are more Stones to collect, I must be at my peak if others try to resist me. I shall rest.

So, he took a villain nap. That gave the Guardians time to get to Knowhere first.

Peter: Give us the Reality Stone now.

Collector: And why should I give it to you?

Gamora: Thanos is coming. He will kill you slowly while breaking your collection one by one in front of you until he gets what he wants.

Peter: We'll give it back once he's dead.

Collector: Paper or plastic?

Thor, Rocket and Groot forged the Stormbreaker and Thor got to be impressive and restart the forge and all that good stuff.

Thanos arrived at Knowhere, ignorant that he was too late.

Thanos: Where is the--

Collector: The Stone is gone, your daughter has it.

Thanos: That's....inconvenient. I don't know where she is so I can't use the Space Stone; I'll have to adjust my plans. If I obtain the Mind Stone then I can exert my will and force the other holders of the Infinity Stones to give them to me. Yes, this will do.

Collector: Plot outside of my museum or buy a ticket.

Meanwhile, Nebula tricked a guard and escaped to Titan.

Double meanwhile, on Titan Dr. Strange used the Time Stone to see into the future while Tony Stark and Peter Parker wait.

Tony: What did you see, Strange?

Dr. Strange: Hmmm, oh everything's fine. We just need to sit tight and wait for a ride.

PP: Really? Can it be that easy?

Dr. Strange: In this universe.

PP: Yes, the Parker luck has been defeated.

Triple Meanwhile, on Earth, Wakanda and Team Cap prepared for their last stand. Events played out like the movie, the Children of Thanos fell, and there were lots of "wow, my favorite hero has done a cool thing" moments. Then, Thanos himself arrived to claim his long awaited victory.

However, in this universe he possessed only two of the Infinity Stones. He still wiped the floor with the Avengers but Wanda, in an act of profound sacrifice and love, destroyed the Mind Stone and with it, Vision. Thanos, thwarted, reached out to crush the skull of the Witch who has destroyed his dream when the Mighty Thor, Stormbreaker in hand, attacked.

In this universe, he did not miss, and thus rendered the Mad Titan's head from his body. It was over.

Steve called Tony with the news: Thanos is dead, we've won.

Tony, having hooked up his communicator to the ship Nebula stole received the message.

Tony: Thank god.

Steve: We lost Vision.

Tony: Look, I can help fix him when I get back, we're currently in space but we're hitching a ride with Blue Meanie.

Nebula: Call me Blue Meanie again and I'm leaving you here.

Tony: Fair enough.

On Earth.

Thor: Captain, call me when we have a victory party, I've got some post battle energy to work off.

Steve: Okay....

Thor: Where's the Rabbit and Tree?

Thor grabbed Rocket and Groot and Bifrosted them all straight onto the Benatar.

Peter: AH! What the hell was that? You could have wrecked the ship, what is wrong with you?

Thor wasn't listening and he casually threw Peter over his shoulder.

Thor: Off to claim my prize, we'll be back in a few hours.

Gamora: Not without me you're not.

Thor: Wouldn't dream of it.

They all ran off to Peter's room, Peter cursing them out the entire time.

Rocket: What the flark was that?

Drax: A god like Thor must be full of hormones after a battle. He is off to have his way with Quill.

Rocket: I did not need to hear that!

Drax: Mantis, I know it must distress you that your brother and the Pirate Angel--

Rocket: Wait, brother?

Groot: I am Groot?

Mantis placed her hands on Rocket's and Groot's foreheads.

Mantis: Forget.

They forgot what they heard instantly. Then, for good measure, Mantis touched Drax's arm.

Mantis: Give me your Zarg nuts.

Drax handed her his package without a second thought.

Mantis sat by a window, looking out into the vast inky black of space while enjoying her Zarg nuts. The crunch helped block out the noise of her brother loudly enjoying himself.

What's Loki's relationship like with each of the other Guardians? Feel free to rant, I can't get enough of them anyway 😆

oh holy shit they finally added a readmore button on mobile 🙌

okay so. going one at a time:

loki and peter's bromance has gotten the most screentime so i don't need to delve super deep into it here, but like, in my head, peter is basically the guardians' tendency to adopt strays all condensed into one person. he's the entire reason they're like this. i've said this before but i never intended for ohtmb to become a full length story, let alone a series, until peter grabbed loki by the arm, looked me in the eye, and said "this is my friend now. no take backs" and he just??? made him a guardian of the galaxy???? meanwhile loki is completely stunned that anyone other than his brother might genuinely want him around. hell, he barely believes that thor does! and peter keeps proving, over and over again, that he likes loki and he wants him to be a part of the team. (it's worth mentioning that between being a thousand years old and the magic powers, peter just thinks loki is so goddamn cool. loki does not know this.) that initial invite -- "i'm not a part of your team" "yeah, but you could be" -- that was the first time anyone other than thor asked him to stick around, it was the first itsy bitsy crack in loki's armor, and that kind of thing sticks with loki for a while. also, as evidenced by the frost giant reveal, peter is the guardian that loki is most likely to turn to first, mostly because he has the excuse of, like, y'know, he's the captain. of course i'd go to him first no it's not because he's my best friend shut up

for gamora, in my universe loki didn't know she was the daughter of thanos until later - she was already taking every excuse she could find to be away from thanos by the time loki fell into his hands, so ohtmb is genuinely the first time he ever sees her. he was a little miffed that she hid that from him, but like, who is he to judge people for keeping secrets? gamora was the second person to invite him to join the guardians, which was the first time he actually started to believe they might mean it, and she was the first person to offer him genuine advice on how to move forward after thanos. loki deeply, deeply respects her. she's definitely the guardian whose opinion he values the most.

i've said this before, but i love to think of nebula and loki's relationship as basically ron swanson's "i once worked with a man for three years and never learned his name. one of the best friends i ever had." they do not talk about their feelings they do not talk about their traumas they barely even TALK except to ocassionally ask if the other one wants to spar, and yet. and yet. they get each other so well. loki's almost on a level with gamora in terms of understanding nebula, and in some ways he even relates to her *more* than gamora does. he will never ever ever say this out loud because he likes keeping his insides on the inside. either way, nebula is the easiest one for him to quietly share space with. they're both bringing that "i can just be in the same room and that counts as hanging out" antisocial cat energy to the table

now, mantis! loki is, like every single other guardian, extremely protective over mantis. she has that sort of childlike innocence that none of the others (except for groot, the actual child) have, despite her having a whole heaping pile of traumas to rival everyone else's. and all of them, loki included, knew her for just a few days before they were like "i guess i have a baby sister now" and they never questioned it. the empathy throws another curveball in there: loki is so unbelievably guarded all the time, and being anywhere near mantis is deeply unsettling at first. no one is allowed to know what he's really feeling! and obviously he learns to trust her eventually, enough that touching her is done with barely a thought anymore, but a part of him also recognizes that it's.... kind of a relief? he's spent so long hiding and lying and keeping his feelings under wraps that it's become a very difficult habit to break, even when he wants to. mantis helps him get around that without actually having to do anything. (she can sense that and is very pleased by it. she likes helping her friends, and it's always a relief for her when her abilities can be used for something good.)

drax is a fantastic exercise in loki shedding some of that high-and-mighty attitude because he's been forced to recognize that someone lacking intelligence (or at least the kind of intelligence he's used to) can still hold a lot of value anyway. drax gently getting information out of that little kid while loki's in the background like ????? was so important to me. he's smart in a way that loki could very easily dismiss, and not too long ago he probably would have, but he doesn't. also, drax was loki's first encounter with genuinely wanting to help someone when it had no benefit for himself, just wanting to save them, and then not being able to. he still feels some kinda way about drax losing his leg. anyway, he and drax get along shockingly easily on a day-to-day basis, mostly because even when loki does bring out the barbs and say something nasty, 99% of the time it goes over drax's head and loki doesn't even have to bother feeling bad about it.

oh, groot. groot groot groot. loki absolutely loves being the fun uncle who's constantly helping this kid break rules. if someone tells groot he's eating too much candy and he's gonna make himself sick, loki will magic some into his room because come on, fuck the system, and besides, if he gets sick, he gets sick! then he'll eat less candy anyway. (he firmly believes he is the only one who does things like this for groot. he is incorrect.) there is also a part of him, a part that he doesn't let himself dwell on, that recognizes that groot is the only one among them all with a lifespan even approaching loki's. again, he doesn't let himself think about that very much, but the thought's... there. he'll address it eventually, maybe.

okay so you know that trope of, like, constantly bickering friends who you swear must hate each other but then the minute shit goes down and they need to work together it's like OH. oh i see. they're exactly the same brand of insane, that's why they're friends. that's loki and rocket. they're always either furious with each other and at each other's throats, or they're in cahoots and everyone else needs to start running. (side note: if loki was around for the gotg3 plot he would have gone the classic survivalist route a la hela, being like "no we CAN'T fight the high evolutionary he's too powerful and we will all die, we'll find some other way to help rocket" right up until he sees what the high evolutionary actually did and then he's just like. hm. okay. i am going to turn all of his internal organs into snakes or die trying. how fast can we get there)

last but certainly not least: loki didn't know what to make of kraglin at first, since they barely interacted outside of loki knocking him out that one time, but he knows that for some reason he's sort of unexpectedly... comfortable? around kraglin? like it's just easy to be around the guy. he doesn't know why, they've barely even spoken to each other. but then one day they got very, very, very drunk together by accident on a foreign planet when they were between missions, and kraglin awkwardly held his hair up while he puked into a trashcan and then he started filling the silence with some dumb stories from when peter was a little kid, and loki had this drunken moment of clarity like "ohhh. he's a big brother. that's why it's easy to be around him" and he absolutely 100% never revisits that thought while sober.

anyway, that's everyone! i love this dumb giant space family! thanks for the ask, this was a fun one to answer, and as you can see i took the "feel free to rant" very literally ;D

[skylarstark4826]

When Peter opened his door, he couldn't believe it when he saw who was knocking.

It had been a few months after all the incindents around High Evolutionary. A few months after he had to come back to Earth with the sad fact he would never will get back the Gamora he met and whom he had fallen in love. That was why it had been so disconcerting when he opened the door that afternoon and saw her standing there, looking at him very serious but also with a warm glare on her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" the terran asked in an apathetic tone "I thought you didn't want nothing to do with me."

"True" she said "But i've been a little thoughtful about it and i came to see you."

"Why?"

"I want you to talk to me about... well, me."

"I still don't understand it." Peter was a little bit puzzled.

"You know, i want you to talk to me about... About the myself version you knew."

"Why would you want that? You said loud and clear you would never want be her."

"Quill, i told you already i want to know a few things." Gamora answered him "And one of those things is why did you say i fell in love with you. If you don't want to see me just tell me and i will go away"

"I didn't say that." Peter said.

"So do you want to do that? I'm free for a few days and i will have to come back."

"Well, my grandfather died two weeks ago and i've been alone since then so you can come in."

"Okay."

Peter wasn't sure at first, but he needed company after his grandfather's death. During those month on Earth wherever he went some women tried to flirt with him but he didn't want them. They weren't like his Gamora and he didn't want another woman than her.

And now she was there with him.

It was strange talk to her about the things she used to love but Peter quickly got used to the small routine between them. 

They slept in appart bedrooms, but spent the day together. Both had breakfast together in the mornings as she talked to him about her time with the ravagers. In the afternoon they had small walks around the neighbourhood and during the nights Peter showed Gamora some music as he talked about his memories with her. That was until she wanted to go bed, but during a night she woke up crying and Peter had to calm her down.

Peter couldn't complain about that. After all, he needed company and he was happy about having her beside him, but although it was enjoying his time with her, a part of him still felt sad. No matter how many time she spent around him, it still felt like he was a strange for her and probably that would be for the rest of his life.

The night before Gamora's departure, Peter entered to her bedroom with a small box tied with a ribbon on his hands.

"What's that?" she asked, her eyes had softened during the days with him.

"Something i want you to have." He answered "I know you will come back tomorrow and i'm not sure if i will see you again, but i really want you to have this."

Gamora took the box and opened it slowly, but when she looked wht was inside her eyes glowed with that spark Peter remembered so well. Her hands took a beautiful necklace out of the box. It was a beautiful silver chain with iridiscent gemstones hanging from it. A pure traditional zehoberei necklace, a piece very hard to find.

"Peter..." she was breathless "How... how did you know that?"

He gave a hínt of a sad smile.

"I bought it a long time ago. It was hard to find but i did everything to get it. I was saving it as a gift for her but..." he sighed "she would have loved that you got it"

"Well... Thank you" she said as she stood up and did something he didn't expect:

She hugged him.

She hugged him like she used to.

He didn't know how to react. True, he had missed her arms around him and now it felt different, but still felt so good on him. He looked at her and lowered his head to catch her lips and that was when she stopped him.

"Oh, sorry" Peter said "i... i just..."

"Did you kissed her once?" Gamora asked.

"A lot of times." was his answer "In fact..."

"Did you ever make love to her?" she asked.

It took Peter by surprise. He really didn't expect that question from her so he blushed and bent his head.

"Yes" he whispered.

"How it was?"

"Well... i can't remember how it happened but i remember it felt amazing for both."

"Do you think you can show me?"

"What?" Peter was confused "Are you sure you want that? I mean, it not like i don't want but..."

"Peter i will come back tomorrow and you said we'd probably never see each other again. I told you i wanted to know everything."

Both stared into each other's eyes. The tension between them getting bigger and bigger until they couldn't stand it more and their lips crushed into a slow, deep kiss. The taste of her lips felt familiar to Peter, and so the feeling of her skin when he crawled his hands below Gamora's nightgown to touch her and then pulling it from her.

They stopped a few seconds for air as Peter looked at her naked body. Her emerald skin looked as beautiful as he remembered and he could see all the scars he had seen before among with some unknown ones she'd probably got during her time with the ravagers. Gamora didn't waste time and pulled Peter's shirt from him before he placed her sitting over his lap to continue devouring her lips.

But he needed to taste her, so he laid her on the bed and started kissing and licking her neck, wanting to feel her skin and hear her soft gasps. His head went to her breasts and nuzzled between them before taking a jade-colored nipple in his hungry mouth, sucking like a newborn reaching for his mother's milk. Gamora hummed in approval as her hand caressed Peter's hair when he stopped and started to kiss the small scars covering her ribcage, sides, and stomach. He stopped there to softly dip his tongue in her belly button, which made her stifle a soft giggle.

"That tickles." she said.

"I know, sweetheart. I know." he said before lowering his head between her legs.

He looked at her and she nodded, then softly started to lick her folds, relishing with the familiar taste of her nectar. She tasted as sweet as he remembered, and the sounds of pleasure coming from her mouth were like music to his ears.

"Peter please..." she whimpered.

"Please what?

"Please... i want you..." she looked at him, her eyes full of desire and love.

He knew what she wanted, so he took off his pants and positioned himself over her small body to kiss her and caress her skin. She didn't waste time and caressed his back with her hands as she felt his erection against her thighs.

He spread her legs softly and lined the tip of his member against her entrance.

"It it hurts just tell me and i'll stop." he adviced.

"You will need more than that to hurt me" she said with a smile.

Peter smirked. Yeah, that was his Gamora.

He entered her softly. She sighed in approval at the sensation until Peter went inside a little bit more rough. That was when she hissed and he was alarmed.

"You okay?" he asked in a worried tone "Please tell me if you're okay."

"I'm okay Peter. It was nothing."

"I had to ask anyway." he said as he started to move inside her body. Gamora placed her legs around Peter's waist and caught his lips in a heated kiss. That was when he lost control.

He couldn't think about anything but her as he made love to her. He had been so lonely since he came back from the blip and now he was so happy to be again with her, kissing her lips, caressing her skin, showing his love for her in the most sweet and intimate way. Despite anything he will always love her and he didn't care about anything beside her as he felt that passion like the first time they became one.

He kissed her deeply again as he climaxed. She let out a sweet moan from her mouth as he collapsed beside her in the bed.

She curled against his chest, feeling his heart beating.

"You don't know how much i'm going to miss you after this." Peter confessed, feeling a little bit blue "I hope you remember me when you look at the necklace."

"And if you come with me?" Gamora asked.

"You want that? I mean, i've spent a lot of time awy from my homeworld and... well, she would have loved if i decided to be here for a while."

She smiled softly.

"Then i will stay until you feel ready." she decided.

"What?" Peter couldn't believe it "Are you sure about that?"

"During this time i discovered why i fell in love with you. You're kind, you loved me more than anything and treated me so good despite what people could say about me. I don't wanna leave that, no matter whatever happened back then."

From Peter's eyes were falling tears of joy. He couldn't believe what he was being told. He thought he could never get another chance with Gamora... and now she was here telling him she wanted to be with him. This couldn't make him feel happier.

"So, stay all you want." he said hugging her "when we're ready, we will come back"

"Right" she said closing her eyes and falling asleep.

"Goodnight, Mora..." Peter whispered as he closed his eyes, still feeling that happiness he now had come back with him.

Drax: Can a person breathe inside a washing machine while it’s on?

Adam :

Adam : Where’s Pip?

Gamora : If you want my advice-

*Adam and Gamora kiss passionately*

Pip , to Drax : You owe me 20 dollars

Gamora : That's ridiculous, Adam doesn't have a crush on me.

Heather : Yes they do.

Pip : Yes they do.

Adam : Yes I do.

Heather : Why do you look like that?

Adam , laying face-first on the floor: Like what?

Heather : Like you’re dead.

Adam : It’s because I’m dying. Leave me here to perish.

Spider-Man Read-Through 036: Thanos - The Final Threat (AV Ann 7, MTIO Ann 2)

MASTERPOST

As promised last time, Thanos is here, ready to smash some heroes!

And the Avengers are ready to smash him back!

This batch thoroughly impressed me, I must say.

Adam Warlock is here, and he's determined to fight Thanos, the Mad Titan. He asks the Avengers to help.

He explains that Thanos fell in love with Death and killed a lot of people, including his own mother, which is how you know he's the real deal.

Suddenly, Spider-Man!

There you go.

Back to our regular scheduling!

Thanos has been vanquished before, but he's back, and pissed off since Death abandoned him. So he got all 6 cosmic stones and fused them into a giant one.

Oh wow, we're really speedrunning Infinity War, huh!

Thanos plans to get Death back by destroying every star in the universe, which is completely batshit but also, I kind of love it. Love truly knows no bounds.

While Warlock is catching up everybody on who did what, Pip the Troll (don't ask me who that is) arrives on Sanctuary II and is surprised by Thanos.

Our heroes depart, and each one of them has a moment to collect their thoughts and fears, and it's remarkably well-written.

I didn't expect to actually be invested, but it reminds of the last issue of the Dark Phoenix saga in how grandiose it feels.

Suddenly...!

It's really impressive, actually.

Thor and Iron Man are deployed, and IM surmises that he can take care of the smaller ships, given how powerful Thor is...

And he would be right. How cool!

This is also really cool!

And this immediately what follows. The action sequence is really good, each Avenger has time to shine and it's overall well paced.

Unfortunately for Warlock, it turns out Thanos left his cherished Pip dead just for him to find on the vessel.

Warlock and Mar-Vell go to Thanos's ship first, they're quickly beaten, but then...

Damn, it's really a good issue.

Iron Man shatters the big gem. Thanos is quite enraged and disappears.

I was asking myself the same question, but you know what, the middle panel is incredibly raw and I don't need justification for that.

What I figure is that it's some sort of reincarnation thing à la Dax from DS9.

The dead hero awakens in the Soul Gem, with Gamora and Pip! Aww.

This is such a nice ending, I really love it! I'm sorry for all the pics, but it really was a stellar issue.

In the following issue, Peter is called in his dreams by Avenger Moon-Dragon, who makes him watch Infinity War and Endgame in 4K Ultra HD before DVDs even existed.

Except the happy end isn't quite there yet.

I gladly objectify the waking man. Well, he's already an object, but I'm looking respectfully.

In space, some stars discuss how it's totally fate that Peter and Ben Grimm aka The Thing fight together to save the universe. Huh-huh.

Spidey decides that he's going to need help, and naturally comes to the Fantastic Four. There, he finds Ben who just so happens to have a space shuttle ready for take off. And off they go!

I like how depressed Peter is. We rarely see him so quiet. It helps to convey the gravity of the situation.

The two heroes aren't doing too bad, but they eventually get knocked out.

Ooooooooh! Oh :( Wasn't it enough to give him peace?

Good for you, Spidey.

However, he changes his minds and successfully frees the Avengers, which I like because it's more of a Spidey thing. I couldn't see him quite fighting Thanos head-on.

Ah, I see again some of the brilliance of the previous issue.

Spidey successfully frees Adam Warlock from the globe that contained him, and the latter hero quickly annihilates Thanos. His crew surrenders immediately.

Aww.

Damn was that a great double issue. I largely preferred the first one, but the second one was fun too, wow.

[gam4raa]

Heyyyyyy, what about number 38 for writing prompt?

Love your stories tho🩷

"You fainted... Straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn't have to go such extremes."

They had just finished their last mission successfully, so they decided to go to a bar to celebrate as always.

Gamora was sitting with Mantis, taking care of Groot while Rocket was playing at the bars casino. Drax and Peter were hanging on the other side of the bar, both of them drunk.

"Where are you looking at Quill?" Drax said, in a voice definitely more drunk than usual.

"Gamora." Peter answered before taking a sip of his, what tenth drink?

"Why don't go you go and talk to her?" Drax said and looked at Peter.

"I don't want her to think that I'm running after her all the time." He muttered.

"But that's what you've been doing." Drax said and Peter chuckled definitely too drunk to even think what Drax was implying. "Go make it look like an accident."

Peter's head shoot up at that. He liked the idea, or at least his drunk self did. "Man, that's a great idea." He said and stood up. He didn't wait to listen to Drax's response before heading to the table where Gamora was sitting.

He was too dizzy to walk normally, tripping over his own feet. "Peter?" Gamora said and furrowed her eyebrows. He did look super drunk and she knew that imagine too well. "Gamora--" He said quietly before falling straight into her arms, exactly like fainting.

Gamora passed Groot to Mantis immediately and caught Peter before he fell on the table.

"Oh my god," She said to herself. "How drunk are you!?" She asked but didn't get a response. A few seconds later she realised that he had actually fainted.

***

The next morning, Peter was laying on their bed with Gamora next to him. She was not sleeping. She reached a hand up to stroke his hair. He reacted at that and slowly opened his eyes. "Hi." She sighed. "Shit," Peter muttered with a pained expression on his face. "My head hurts like hell."

"I mean you did drink half a bar." Gamora said quietly. "What happened?" Peter asked, clearly confused.

"You fainted... Straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn't have to go such extremes." She said still keeping her voice low.

"I-- What?" He frowned. "Fuck, I remember.." Gamora moved her hand to rub at his arm. "It was Drax's idea." He said and she rolled her eyes. "You actually fainted, Peter. I was worried about you." She said before leaning in to drop a kiss on his forehead.

He closed his eyes at the gesture. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize how many drinks I had last night." He said, his voice apologetic because, god, he hated when he worried her.

"Are you okay? She asked sympathetically. "Why didn't you just come and talk to me instead of listening to Drax?"

He heavily leaned his head against hers. "I dunno. Ask the drunk Peter." She sighed in annoyance. "I don't think the drunk Peter will join us for a while." Gamora said.

He smiled. "Aww why Mora are you that--" He cut himself off when his headache hit him.

"I'll go get you a painkiller. And tug you into bed. Again." She said and stood up.

He let his head fall on the pillow. "Thanks babe!" He said childishly as she left the room. He'd be fine.

I'm so sorry this took so long, I was super busy! Thank you so much, it means the world to me I hope you'll like it because, you definitely tricked me on this one!

Also Read on AO3

As the ships prepared to land, the Ravagers had also shown up. Peter saw Yondu in the distance, looking for him.

“Quill! Don’t you move, boy!” He yelled.

More ships landed. Gamora saw one and ran in the direction of it. Peter followed after her. Not knowing what to do, the girl followed after as well.

Yondu continued to shout and tried moving quickly through a crowd, telling people to get out of the way.

Ronan appeared from one of the ships, walking down the ramp with his guards trailing behind him.

“Ronan the Accuser!” Drax shouted to get his attention. He held his blades out, ready to fight.

“You are the one who transmitted the message?” Ronan met his energy, walking toward him.

“You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!” Drax felt his anger grow.

Finally, Gamora found a ship. She grabbed the ship’s pilot by the neck and threw him out, taking his ship.

Nearby, Rocket was also thinking of an escape plan. The girl saw and went in that direction, figuring it would be safer to stick with the plant alien named Groot. He didn’t seem to think of her as a pest. As for Groot’s furry friend…

She ran up to them, taking a breath. Rocket looked up at her. The fur along his shoulders raised, and he partially bared his teeth.

“You! What do you want?” He growled.

“It was agreed that you all would get me out of here.” She told him.

“Do I look like I care? Go find some pod if you don’t wanna die.” Rocket brushed her off. He looked at Groot. “I told you, you can’t fit. Now, wait here. I’ll be back.” He climbed into an empty ship and closed the door.

He left Groot there. He looked uncertain about the whole thing. She looked up at him. “For the sake of survival, why don’t we stick together?” She offered.

Groot nodded.

“Come on, let’s find somewhere that’s a little more secluded,” she suggested. “I might could pick us up some money for your group.”

Well, money would make them happy. And Rocket could always find him again. “I am Groot.”

“I’m taking that as a yes,” she said. “Oh, and since you’ve already told me your name, it’s probably considered rude not to tell you mine… it’s Eliška.”

---

Nebula stood on the ramp of another ship, working with Ronan. She looked up as ships flew by. “It is Gamora. She is escaping with the Orb.”

She shouted to the guards in another language. They listened to her command and went back inside the ship. Ronan looked unimpressed and turned to go back to his ship. Drax stood and watched as he walked away.

“No!” Drax ran after him, attempting to swing his blade at him, but Ronan ducked, causing him to miss.

“Nebula,” Ronan spoke, unphased by Drax.

Drax stumbled but recovered, moving in front of Ronan to block him.

“Retrieve the Orb.” Ronan finished.

Drax tried to slash Ronan, but he easily blocked his attacks. Ronan shoved him back, and he fell to the ground. He quickly got up as Ronan kept approaching him. The ship took off to get the Orb. Drax took another swing and was met with another dodge by him. Drax tried again but to no avail. Ronan hit Drax hard enough to be thrown back into a building behind him.

Nebula focused on piloting and used the tools in her ship to sense which enemy ship had the Stone.

“The Stone is in the furthest pod. Bring it down!” She instructed.

The ships continued chasing the Orb, weaving through obstacles. They shot at the ship and missed. Gamora dodged them. She flew into a tunnel, attempting to lose them. They tried to follow her through it, but one of the ships exploded in the process.

Back on the ground, Drax yelled and jumped at Ronan, trying to stab him. Ronan pushed him back, and he crashed to the ground again. Ronan walked around him, watching him get back up. Drax tried stabbing him again, but Ronan expertly dodged. He hit Drax in the back. He blocked another one of Drax’s attempts to hit him.

Back with the escape pods, Peter took one and came up with a plan. Rocket piloted the one next to him.

“Rocket, keep them off Gamora until she gets to the Milano,” Peter said.

“How? We’ve got no weaponry on these things.”

“These pods are industrial grade. They’re nearly indestructible,” he explained.

“Not against necroblasts, they’re not,” Rocket added.

“That’s not what I’m saying.”

Rocket was silent until his eyes widened in realization. “Oh!”

He flew his pod into the enemy ships, causing them to crash and explode. His pod spun for a second before he stabilized it. He came face to face with another ship, yelling as he rammed his pod into it, making it explode.

The other enemy ships still followed Gamora. She narrowingly dodged their blasts. Peter’s pod grabbed hold of one of the ships and broke open the top, tossing out the pilot inside. He tried to control the broken ship with his own pod. It started to spin out of control, but he managed to stabilize it before it crashed. Peter aimed at the other ships, blowing them up.

Gamora couldn’t get rid of the ships behind her, especially with Nebula chasing her. They tried to push her pod into the tunnel wall, causing her to fight with the controls and hit the wall a couple of times.

“Quill, I’m trapped. I can’t make it to the Milano. I have to head out,” she spoke into her intercom. She managed to escape and fly up while the ships still pursued her.

“Wait! These things aren’t meant to go out there.” Peter abandoned the broken ship around his pod and flew toward Gamora and the rest.

In the vastness of space, Nebula still focused on chasing Gamora down.

“You are a disappointment, sister. Of all our siblings, I hated you least.” Nebula confessed.

The ships were right behind Gamora. She spoke into her intercom. “Nebula, please. If Ronan gets this Stone, he’ll kill us all.”

“Not all.” She aimed right at her. “You will already be dead.”

She fired, and Gamora’s pod exploded. Peter's throat felt dry as he watched Gamora’s body float out in space, hardly moving, while her pod’s pieces surrounded her.

Rocket watched in surprise as a beam of golden light shone over the Orb, sending it into the ship above. Before anyone could do anything, the ship flew away with the Orb inside.

After the fight between Ronan and Drax, he’d won, dragging an unconscious Drax by his leg. He threw him into the thick yellow fluid from the mining operations. He watched as Drax slowly began to drown.

“Ronan, it is done,” Nebula announced over her intercom. She landed her ship behind him.

---

In his pod, Peter continued to watch in silence as Gamora floated in the coldness of space.

“Quill, come on.” Rocket used his intercom. He sounded defeated. “Her body mods should keep her alive a couple more minutes, but there’s nothing we can do for her. These pods aren’t meant to be out here. In a second, we’re gonna be in the same boat.” He turned his pod and flew away.

Peter watched as ice began to form on Gamora’s body. He knew he should’ve left, but he just couldn’t.

“Aw, damn it.” He muttered to himself, flipping some switches in the pod.

“Quill?” Rocket asked.

“Yondu! Yondu. This is Quill! My coordinates are 227K324,” Peter said over his intercom.

“Quill.” Rocket flew back toward Peter’s pod. “Quill, what are you doing?”

“Just outside Knowhere. If you’re there, come get me. I’m all yours.” He turned his helmet on.

Rocket watched as Peter opened his pod hatch next to Gamora. He climbed out and used the boosters in his shoes to fly to her.

“Quill, don’t be ridiculous,” Rocket spoke into his intercom.

Peter grabbed her.

“Get back into your pod! You can’t fit two people in there. You’re gonna die.” Rocket warned.

Peter pressed a button on his helmet, causing it to shut off.

“You’ll die in seconds!” He exclaimed, leaning forward in his seat.

Peter took off his comm and helmet, putting the helmet on Gamora. Rocket watched, his mouth agape. Ice began to form on Peter’s face. The helmet worked and Gamora started to breathe again, gasping.

Peter managed to turn his head toward the light of the Ravager ships behind him, with Yondo’s ship in the front. Yondu stood in the window and used the ship to pull Peter and Gamora in.

The door opened, and they fell to the floor. Peter landed on top of Gamora. He took a big breath, recovering from the lack of oxygen. Gamora coughed, getting used to more air as well. They looked into each other’s eyes. He cradled her face.

“Quill? What happened?” She asked, her throat hoarse.

“I saw you out there. I don’t know what came over me. But I couldn’t let you die.” He whispered, and his eyes showed his concern.

They had a second of silence, processing.

“I found something inside of myself. Something incredibly heroic. I mean, not to brag, but, objectively…” He continued.

Gamora glanced away and took a sigh. “Where’s the Orb?”

He stopped talking and began to stutter. “It’s… Well, they got the Orb.”

“What?!” She exclaimed.

Before they could argue about it, a door opened, revealing the group of Ravagers standing with their weapons aimed at the both of them.

“Welcome home, Peter,” Kraglin said, slightly smirking.

Goldilocks

It's finally here first part of my Adam Warlock fic! You were a ravager who is joining Rocket, Kraglin, and Adam. This part is just you meeting and joining the team. Eventually will be fluffy maybe even smutty we shall see 😏

I'll tag @ceres27 @wildyonderwillows because I know you both are excited!

Ao3 here

"We are approaching the drop point! Looks like they are mid battle so make sure you're ready to fight!" Gamora shouted.

Chapter one: Thunderstruck

You weren't sure what was going on all you knew was that Gamora told you that Rocket racoon and Kraglin wanted your help in their new guardian team. It sounded so sketchy but you were tired of being on this ravager ship and were ready to see what Knowhere was like. 

"Roger that!" You shout back, making your way to the back of the ship.

Just as you got your knives out and ready the cargo door opened and you could see the battle below. You weren't expecting Gamora to literally drop you off in the middle of the battle but quickly you jumped out the door.  You gathered your bearings and observed the battle around you before you made your way after the creature that you immediately saw trying to sneak up on the golden boy wearing one of Rockets blue jackets with the guardian logo on it. Just as the creature fell to the ground the boy turned towards you and began eyeing you up. He looked ready to pounce on you. 

"Don't worry, goldilocks, I'm on your team." You winked at him as you made your way towards Kraglin. 

You must have thrown the golden boy off because you heard Rocket shouting at him to stop standing around and help with the fight. The battle ended quickly and once all the enemies were vanquished and Rocket had received payment for the service you guys made your way back to the ship. 

"Wasn't expecting you to drop in like that." Kraglin commented. 

"Wasn't expecting to be dropped in mid fight." You retort.

Kraglin and Rocket laughed and Adam looked confused. You guessed no one told him you were joining the crew.

"Yeah, I thought Gamora said she was going to let us know ahead of time. Whatever you're here now. Good to know you can fight though." Rocket responded, scampering on to the ship.

You scoff at Rocket's words as you follow him on the ship. Once the ship takes off and you're well on your way to Knowhere you go to find Kraglin who wasn't with you guys on deck. Finally you found him down below fiddling with the arrow obviously still insecure about using it.

"Okay why am I here Kraglin?". 

"Not sure I know what you mean. You're here to help us.". 

"Oh come on I just watched you guys fighting you did not need me.". 

"You saved Adam's life though!". 

"Kraglin he was half a second away from turning and stopping that guy himself. Now what's the reason I'm here?".

You glare at Kraglin with hands on your hips.

"You're here to help with Adam. We figure he's lonely and needs someone his age." Rocket intervened.

"You're kidding me right? So I'm here to babysit goldilocks?!" You groan. 

"Y/n he can handle himself you saw that today. Stakar and Gamora said you seemed like you could use more interaction with people your age and Adam needs more interaction with well decent people." Kraglin responded. 

You roll your eyes and saunter off to a quiet part of the ship. As soon as you guys land on Knowhere you make your way off the ship.

"Hey where are you going?" Rocket shouts.

"Gamora asked me to give something to Nebula." You respond. 

"Perfect, we need to tell her our mission was successful. We will join." Kraglin chimed in. 

You tried to not groan as you waited for Rocket and Kraglin. You noticed Adam was looking at you curiously but he hung behind with Groot to resupply the ship for future missions. You guys met with Nebula and Rocket introduced you as he gave her the rundown of the mission. As soon as the boys left you handed her Gamora's message. 

"Am I really joining their team to babysit that golden boy Adam? Isn't he a sovereign? I haven't heard much good about them.". 

"Gamora said you were restless and wanted off that ship. Rocket said Adam was restless and seemed to want a friend his own age. The sovereign hasn't been in contact with him since the high priestess died. It'll be fine. Now get out." Nebula sighed. 

******************************

It had been almost a week since she had dropped from the sky mid battle. Almost a week since those captivating eyes had stopped him mid battle. Of course Adam couldn't work up the courage to talk to her so he often sat off on his own glaring at the younger men of Knowhere hovering over her. He didn't know what he was feeling but he knew he didn't like watching her get the attention from these men. 

"What's wrong?" Kraglin chuckled sitting down next to Adam. 

"Nothing. Just don't get why y/n won't really talk to me but will talk to them." Adam grumbled. 

Kraglin chuckled realizing Adam was jealous. 

"Trust me she doesn't really enjoy talking to them. They won't leave her alone. But if you want to talk to her I know she likes creatures so why don't you introduce her to blurp I'm sure that will help.".

Adam's face lit up as he got up and practically ran to his apartment to get blurp. 

***************

You had felt Adam's eyes following you around ever since you landed on Knowhere. But you had been so curious to explore you had forgotten about being there to befriend Adam. That was until you had finally broken free from the idiot boys that had been practically drooling over you and were walking home when a furry creature jumped you knocking you to the ground. 

"Blurp! No! Get off her! That's not what I meant when I said "go say hi"!" Adam shouted.

The creature hopped off of you as Adam approached you looking concerned.

"You okay? I didn't mean for him to do that." He said, extending a hand out to you.

"Is this creature yours goldilocks?" You ask, taking his hands and standing up, "Wait I know this creature. Didn't it used to belong to a ravager? How did you get it?". 

Adam nervously ran his hand through his golden locks, " I found him after a battle. He looked sad and lonely so I took him in.". 

"He's so cute!" You coo as you crouch down to pet the furry creature, "did you say his name is blurp?". 

"Yes he is Blurp and my name is Adam.". 

You laugh at his abruptness, "Yes I know your name.". 

"Then why do you always call me goldilocks?". 

"It is a nickname. Like how Peter calls himself Starlord.". 

Before he can answer, music comes on the speakers. It was the song Rocket played when he wanted you all to gather together. Adam picked up Blurp and flew off. You made your way to the meeting hall wondering why Rocket was calling you guys together. Adam landed in front of you just as you were about to walk up the stairs. Quickly he grabbed the door for you. You smile at him and made your way in.

"Alright guys, we have a new mission. One of the planets we have formed an alliance with is having issues with thieves and being attacked by creatures of all kinds. So get yourselves ready, we leave in an hour." Rocket stated once everyone was sitting down. 

"Wait….does that mean I have to wear those ugly uniforms?" You sigh.

"Won't find them so ugly when they save your life. Yes you're required to wear them." Rocket retorted, "Groot you will help me make sure the ship is ready to go. Adam and Kraglin make sure the ship is ready with weapons and food this could be a long journey. But first Kraglin show Y/n where the uniforms are and please make sure she puts them on."  

Groaning you follow Kraglin back to where the uniforms are. You grab one and get changed under Kraglins supervision. Despite the reserves you had about the outfit you were excited about this mission since it was your first real one since joining the team. Once Rocket did his last minute ship checks you guys were off. Shortly after departure Kraglin took you down where the weapons were to make sure you had proper weapons besides your swords. 

"Nervous?" Kraglin asked.

"No way this will be fun!" You reply. 

Kraglin smiled as he helped you pick a gun. As soon as he was content you knew how to use it and you had the proper weapons you guys made your way back up to the flight deck to learn more about this mission.
