The Asgardian And The Human (Fem Reader X Steve Rogers)

Chapter 39 - New Friends

I gasp and sit up to see I was in a different ship. I fall off the table and grab my sword, holding it up at the group. "Who the hell are you....where's my brother!" I scream.

"Y/N...it's okay...they are good." Thor pushes my sword down.

After quick introductions, They give me some soup and a woman named Gamora wraps a blanket around me. "The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal: To bring balance to the Universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre..."

"Including my own." Drax nods.

"If he gets all six Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers, like this." Gamora snaps her fingers.

"You seem to know a great deal about Thanos." Thor says.

"Gamora... is the daughter of Thanos."

I walk over to her, staring at her blankly. "Your father killed my brother." I mutter.

"Oh, boy. Stepfather. Technically, she hates him as much as you do." Quill says.

I place my hand softly on her shoulder. "Families can be tough. Before our father died, he told us we had a half-sister...that he imprisoned in Hel. Then she returned home, and stabbed Thor in the eye, so... we had to kill her. I used all my strength to do it. It's life, isn't it, I guess. Goes round and round and...we feel your pain." I nod.

"And I feel your pain, as well. I mean it's not a competition, but I've been through a lot. My father killed my mother, then I had to kill my father. And that was hard. Probably even harder than having to kill a sister. Plus, I, came out of it with both of my eyes-" Quill says.

"I need a hammer, not a spoon..." Thor attempts to fiddle with machinery. "How do I open this thing? Is there some sort of a four-digit code maybe... Maybe a birth date or something..."

"What are you doing?" Quill asks.

"Taking your pod."

Quill's voice deepens. "No, you're not! You'll not, be taking our pod today, sir."

"Quill. Are you making your voice deeper?" Rocket asks.

"No."

"You are. You're imitating the god-man. It's weird." Drax says.

"No I'm not."

"He just did it again!" Mantis points.

"This is my voice!"

Thor approaches Quill, "Are you mocking me?"

"Are you mocking me?"

"Stop it. You did it again." Thor points.

"He's trying to copy me."

"Would you stop doing that? He's doing it first." Thor says.

"Enough! We need to stop Thanos. Which means we need to find out where he's going next."

"Knowhere." I say.

"He must be going somewhere." Mantis says.

"No. Knowhere? It's a place. We've been there. It sucks. Excuse me, that's our food." Quill points at Thor as he rummages through their food.

"Not anymore."

"Y/N....Why would he go to Knowhere?" Gamora asks.

"Because for years, the Reality Stone has been safely stored, there with a man we call the Collector." I nod.

"If it's with the Collector, then it's not safe. Only an idiot would give that man a stone."

"Or a genius." Thor says.

"How do you know he's not going for one of the other Stones?"

"There's six stones out there. Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it last week, when he decimated Xandar. He stole the Space Stone from us when he destroyed our ship and slaughtered half our people. The Time and Mind Stones are safe on Earth. They're with the Avengers." I nod.

"The Avengers?" Quill asks.

"They're Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Thor says.

"Like Kevin Bacon?" Mantis asks.

Thor frowns, "He may be on the team. I don't know. Haven't been there in a while. As for the Soul Stone, well, no one's ever seen that. No one even knows where it is. Therefore, Thanos can't get it. Therefore, he's going to Knowhere. Hence, he'll be getting the Reality Stone. You're welcome." Thor nods.

"Then we have to go to Knowhere now."

"Wrong. Where we have to go, is Nivadellir." Thor says.

"That's a made up word."

"All words are made up." Thor nods.

"Nidavellir is real?" Rocket climbs on to the table. "Seriously? I mean, that place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the Universe. I would very much like to go there, please."

"The rabbit is correct, and clearly the smartest among you." Thor points.

"Rabbit?"

I smile and rub the back of Rockets head. "Rocket, I'm sorry about him."

Rocket only nods.

"Only Eitri the dwarf king can make me the weapon I need." Thor then points at Rocket, "I assume you're the captain, sir?"

"You're very perceptive."

"You seem like a noble leader. Will you join Y/N and I on our quest to Nivadellir?" Thor asks.

"Lemme just ask the captain. Wait a second, it's me! Yeah, I'll go." Rocket says.

"Wonderful." I nod.

"Except that I'm the captain." Quill cuts in.

"Quiet!"

"And that's my backpack." Quill points.

"Quill, sit down." Rocket says.

"Look, this is my ship. And I'm not going to... Wait, what kind of weapon are we talking about here?" Quill asks.

"The Thanos killing kind."

Quill frowns, "Don't you think that we should all have a weapon like that?"

"No. You simply lack the strength to wield them. Your bodies will crumble as your minds collapse into the madness." I nod.

"Is it weird that I wanna do it even more now?" Rocket smirks.

"A little bit. Yeah." Thor nods.

"If we don't go to Knowhere and Thanos retrieves another stone, he'll be too powerful to stop." Gamora nods.

"He already is." I say.

"I got it figured out. We got two ships, and a large assortment of morons. So me and Groot will go with the pirate-angel and the nice lady here, and the morons will go to Knowhere to try and stop Thanos. Cool? Cool." Rocket nods.

"So cool." Thor says.

"For the record... I know that you're only going with him because it's where Thanos isn't." Quill says to Rocket.

"You know, Quill, you shouldn't talk that way to your captain. Come on, Groot. Put that game down. You'll rot your brain." He gets into the pod. I get inside and buckle up in between Groot and Thor.

"I bid you farewell and good luck, morons. Bye." Thor waves, I close my eyes as we take off.
