"I need to ask a favor" Gamora asks
"Yeah, sure." Carrie says
"One way or another, the path that we're on leads to Thanos." Gamora says
"Which is what the big knives are for." Carrie says. Gamora gives her a serious look.
"Sorry, what's the favor? Just trying to lighten the mood here." Carrie says
"If things go wrong, if Thanos gets me I want you to promise me you'll kill me." Gamora says. Carrie's mind goes blank. Even Charles isn't talking.
"What?" Carrie says
"I know something he doesn't and if he finds out, the entire universe could be at risk." Gamora says
"We could hide you from Thanos. What do you know?" Carrie asks. Gamora is quiet.
"What do you know, Gamora." Carrie says raising her voice.
"If I tell you, you'd know too and you would be at risk." Gamora says
"So, I'll help." Carrie says
"Only if you wanna die" Gamora says
"Why does someone have to die?" Carrie asks
"Just trust me and possibly kill me." Gamora says
"I would but I don't know if I can." Carrie says
"Swear to me. Swear to me on your brother and Peter." Gamora says. Carrie takes a second to take in what Gamora had just said.
"Okay, I swear." Carrie says

"Carrie. Do you know if these grenades are the, blow off your junk kind or the gas kind? Because I was thinking about hanging a couple on my belt right here. But I don't want to if they're the-" Peter says
"We're about to fight a big purple ball sack chin kind of guy and that's what you're thinking?" Carrie asks laughing
"Yep." Peter says.
"Killing Gamora would be for the greater good, Caroline."
"Is it normal that I'm kind of scared for this mission?" Carrie asks
"Yeah. I've never seen you scared before though." Peter says
"I guess I'm just scared about any of us dying." Carrie says. Peter sits down next to her.
"We fought people like this before" Peter says trying to comfort her
"But they never had two infinity stones, only one." Carrie says
"We'll be fine. We'll kick his ass." Peter says. Carrie smiles.
She looks up and looks into his eyes. She kisses him. They kiss for about a minute. They look up and Drax is staring at them.
"Dude. How long have you been standing there?" Peter asks Drax
"An hour." Drax says
"An hour?" Carrie repeats
"Are you serious?" Peter asks
"I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that I become invisible to the eye. Watch." Drax says putting a chip slowly into his mouth.
"You're eating a zarg nut." Peter says
"But my movement was so slow that it's imperceptible." Drax says. Peter and Carrie both shake their heads
"No." Carrie says
"I'm sure I'm invisible." Drax says
"Hi Drax" Mantis says coming in
