Salvation

30

Astraeas POV

I fell back into his chest as we just appeared in the ship

'Astraea!' Gamora shouted running up to me

Walking over I hugged her 'where's nebula?' I asked

'Shes, she has training' she sighed

I looked at Thanos 'so you just expect us to go back to normal?!'

'No, because this time I'm not going so easy on you. You were lucky to not be genetically modified like Gamora and nebula the first time round but this time you've left me no choice!'

He grabbed my shoulder and pushed me into the arms of two strange men

Loki's POV

'Loki' Thor whispered

I shook my head 'we're not getting her back. That's it now' I said walking off to my room

Walking in I seen everyone was still in there

'Where is she?' Mother asked

'Shes gone. He got her' I said sitting down on my bed, putting my head in my hands

'He got callista?' Lilith said

'Her names Astraea Lilith! Astraea!' I shouted

'Loki' mother said knelling down in front of me
'We can find her darling' she whispered

'There's no hope. She back in the ship.'

Tony's POV

*two months later*

I have the whole tower decorated.

Black and gold shit everywhere!

Balloon archs at every walk way, all her favourite foods, like a gazillion presents from everyone, her playlist playing over the speakers, and ofcourse one of her presents in my pocket.

The place looks amazing I won't lie.

'How much longer until she's here?' Natasha said looking over at me from the couch

'Any minute probably'

*4 hours later*

'I don't think she's coming' Clint said eating one of the many this on his plate

'She Will' I said fiddling with the papers of one of her birthday presents

It was then when the elevator doors opened, Thor and Loki walking out

'Where is she?' Natasha said standing up

'He got her' Thor said

'What? When?!' I said holding the papers tighter

'Two months ago'

'And you only tell us now!'

'We we're trying to contact her sisters the whole time, we got word last week they've been with him a few days longer than her'

Holding the papers I stormed out

Astraeas POV

Currently I'm laying in bed. My room just in darkness.

My whole body hurts.

He did it. He genetically altered me to be just like Gamora.

The exact markings on her face were now on mine.

'Happy birthday' I heard her whisper walking in

'Thanks' I mumbled turning around to see her

She was with nebula and they had a pancake with a candle in it

'Happy birthday to you' they sang

Sitting up I blew it out and smiled

'We know it isn't the 21st you wanted, but we're gonna get out of here soon' Gamora said handing me the pancake, taking the candle out

'My face hurts' I said pulling a piece of the pancake off and eating it

'It'll hurt for a while' she said rubbing my arm

'We need to find a way out of here' nebula said standing in front of us

'He's already doubled his army. There's no way the three of us could escape this time' I said taking another bite

'We'll think of something eventually' Gamora sighed

'I had the perfect life on earth' I said staring at the ground

'I loved the life I had to' she sighed

'I never had any of that' nebula said still standing

'You did when you came with us' Gamora said looking at her

'You'd like it on earth' I said finishing the pancake then laying down

She sighed and sat down on the bed too 'we desperately need to get out of here'

Loki's POV

There was no point in us coming to midgard

Thor could have easily have just come on his own

Walking into her room I seen Tony sitting on her bed

'Sorry, I'm just grabbing something' I said walking over to the drawers

Opening it I seen exactly what I was looking for

Her golden dagger she found in years ago

'What's that?' I said looking over at Tony

'Adoption papers' he said standing up 'don't really need them at the minute anyways' he said putting them on the bed and walking out

Astraeas POV

We all just lay in my bed, we didn't talk.

We just lay there thinking.

I knew we were all thinking the same thing

How we could get out of here

'Astraea' father said walking in seeing us all laying there 'Gamora. Nebula. You both have somewhere to be' he said making them get up and walk out without saying goodbye

'I got you something' he said sitting down, pulling out a thin purple box with a white ribbon around it

'I don't want anything from you'

He sighed 'Astraea, daughter' he passed me the box

Sitting up I opened it and inside was a beautifully carved dagger, white handle with a gold blade and blade cover.

'Oh wow. Another weapon in the family'

'You know. Out of all my daughters you were the only one who was happy to be here' he said looking at the wall in front of him

'Here was all I ever knew. Gamora and nebula never acted like it was something I should hate, they protected me'

He shook his head 'you were happy. You would've been happy to sit in the throne after me, none of the others would have.'

'If you gave nebula a chance she would have'

'Nebulas weak'

'... i just want to go home' I whispered looking at him seeing he too had water in his eyes
