She was taking a bath, the steamy water running down her exotic colored body. She moaned slightly, enjoying the feeling the water was making her feel. It was unlike any shower she had taken before. The showers she usually took were cold, the Milano using the energy to travel through space only instead of energizing every aspect of the ship. But here on Earth, she could finally enjoy it for once.

"I wonder what Peter is doing..." She whispered, her hands running through her hair as she let the water wash away the dirt. Her mind had been on him ever since their moment back in that party. She still couldn't remember most of it, even with her high tolerance to alcoholic drinks, but she had felt everything of what she did that night. It was one of the reasons she always returned back to Earth.

She closed the shower, letting the few droplets of water fall on her face before opening her yellow eyes. She glanced at the mirror, looking just how even she couldn't distinguish between her eyes and the yellow markings around her eyes, as her lime green skin was still slightly drenched from her warm shower. She was the deadliest woman in the universe, Gamora Zen Whoberi who was actually using the codename Requiem.

She had done numerous unforgivable things as Requiem. She even killed her own teammate, Peter Quill. But she had already finished her vendetta, killing the one who had cursed her childhood and stole everything from her. And since then, the only memory in which would always come back and torment her slightly was the time she felt whole. The moment she had accepted herself as his woman.

She placed a see-through dark green robe over her shoulders, which didn't even cover up her dignity. She was proud of her body, many times having to rely on her beauty to get whatever she may want. But her body now belonged to someone who made her feel like she was indeed alive and not like she was living someone else's life. Her mind and soul belong solely to Peter Parker, also known as the Amazing Spider-Man.

He had turned her world upside down. From being lost on the road of hate, she was able to see herself once more and finally have a choice. Her entire life had been controlled by the Mad Titan, never truly being who she wanted to be.Trained to be a cold killer, and never glancing as each kill began to keep up accumulating through time. He had completely ignored everything she ever was, deciding to see what was in front of him.

She made a small smile, a towel around her head as it drained the excess water from her hair. She softly ruffled the towel, drying her hair slightly faster. She left the towel in place however, letting it there for a bit as she looked at herself through the mirror. She saw herself, wondering just how she was so lucky to have him in her life. But she shook her head, taking the towel off of her head before walking through the already open door.

"You okay?" She asked as soon as she watched him looking towards the window. She glanced at the window as well, watching just how the rain poured heavily, while lightning strikes could be seen from afar. She sighed with a small smile on her face, already knowing that Peter loved watching the lightning bolts. Even if he hated the actual thunderstorm, he loved staring and analyzing the lightning.

"Yeah..." She walked towards him, her eyes lingering briefly over his chiseled chest before looking straight at his face. He had snared her into forever cherishing him for the rest of their life together. "Just watching the thunderstorm..." She saw just how he sighed, his hand going through his hair as if he was feeling frustrated about something. She noticed that whenever he felt down, it made her want to do anything to cheer him up. She hated when he couldn't give her that amazing smile she had grown to love. "And you? Did you enjoy your bath?"

"It was amazing... Thank you for letting me use it" She let the gown drop to the floor, revealing her naked body to the hero in bed, before she softly placed herself beside him. She had her head on his shoulder, her entire body leaning over his own as her mounds pressed against his arm. She loved being close to him, her heart skipped various beats just by being next to him. Not like when she was with Star-Lord, that she had to fake everything. "So... why are you watching the storm?"

"I have always been fascinated with them, even when I was scared of them as a child" She paid close attention to what he was saying, her eyes gazing towards the window in wonder. She could see just how lightning fell from the skies, creating a massive thunder which she was almost sure would have cracked the pavement. "I'd count how many seconds were between each thunder. I would analyze the distance of the lightning. I tried to do anything really" Gamora smiled a bit, kissing his shoulder softly before looking at him with loving eyes. Just hearing him talk without being worried about anything, was the best she could experience. Just the two of them, enjoying each other's company as they just simply watched the dark rainy night through the window. "Because it was something I didn't know. Something that had piqued my interest"

"Why don't you show me, then?" Gamora whispered, watching just how the male turned his head towards her and smiled. She smiled back, leaning her face slowly for the kiss that she knew both of them were wanting. Their lip lock was soft and tender, not like how she would usually kiss someone. But with Peter, everything felt amazing. "I would love to see what my amazing lover has learned over the years"

Peter chuckled slightly, making her smile at him. She took a glance at her Power Sword, which stood very far away from the two of them. The power it held was too great for her. And while she could obviously handle such power, she didn't want to lose being close to Peter. But she could see a slight hue from all six Infinity Stones embedded in the sword, preferring to ignore it before she may fall into temptation. She was happy where she currently was, besides Peter in a loving embrace.
