Gamora's Sister: Alaya (GotG onwards)

26 YEARS LATER

LOCATION: MORAG
ABANDONED PLANET
M31V J00443799+4129236

A ship touches down on Morag's surface and a man, wearing an expanding partial helmet, exits and starts walking around the area, looking around. He switches on a Holo-Map Projector to start scanning his surrounding. A hologram pops up, recreating the surface of the abandoned planet, seeming to show the structures and life forms that once populated the area.

He makes his way towards what was a large building outlined in red on the hologram. Once he nears the building, the hologram shows a little girl and a dog playing on the street. He turns off the device once at the entrance.

Entering the cave, he presses something on the side of the helmet, deactivating it, and uncovering his face. He brings out a pair of headphones and places them on before turning on his Walkman. He mouths along with the lyrics of "Come and Get Your Love" as he dances his way through the cave.

Not too far behind, quietly making her way to the entrance of the same cave is a beautiful, green skinned women, looking to be in her very early 20's, with one brown, and one blue eye, and wavy, dyed green hair, that went down to her underarm, though you could see her dark roots coming through.

She stops walking, once she is inside the cave, in order to look around. And lo and behold, there Peter Quill is, dancing like an idiot. She watches him with furrowed eyebrows as he splashes in some water, kicks a few Orloni across the cave, then uses another of the creatures as a microphone.

Instead of immediately killing him like she usually would when she's on a mission, she keeps watching him with a bit of curiosity, but not without a roll of her eyes, of course.

She knows he's a ravager. It's obvious by the colour of the clothing that he's one of Yondu's, and it doesn't take her long at all to figure out which one. "It's been a while, Quill." She says to no one in particular, knowing he couldn't hear a word over the song. She could tell immediately what song as well. "Come and Get Your Love? Really? Does the dumbass listen to anything but that one tape?"

She curses to herself that he managed to get here just a few moments before her, most definitely after the same thing she came here looking for.

She quickly follows him, staying a good few meters behind, stepping out of view when he turns around. She finds it incredibly easy to follow him through the dark cave, unnoticed. "Pathetic." She remarks with an eye roll.

Peter uses his jet boots to jump a gap in the cave before approaching a very large door. He opens said door before spotting the Orb with a force field surrounding it.

The girl waits until he's through the doorway before doing a small run up and jumping over the gap herself, landing on the other side with minimal sound. "Don't need jet boots, when you're a ninja." She mutters to herself, with a smug smirk plastered on her face.

He takes out a ball and shakes it to make it light up, letting him see through the darkness.
Putting it on the ground he moves further towards the orb.

The girl suddenly freezes in her movements, right outside the open door, when she hears the sound of ships arriving not too far away. "Shit!" She knows who it is. Her sister warned her that she needed to get the orb before he had the chance to. So much for that. She thinks before she quickly places herself behind a beam, out of sight but where she can still hear what's happening. She knows she can easily beat him and take the orb but she can't risk being seen and word getting back to Thanos that she was here.
