Abducted

Chapter 2

(Grace's pov)

When we reach xandar quill says his goodbyes to berette then the two of us are off to see about selling this orb thing. "So this is xandar. Have to admit I was expecting more." I say "like what?" Quill asks "I don't know. Each place we go I see something new that fascinates me. This just looks like a normal city. All these planets are starting to look the same." I explain "that happens." He answers as we approach the shop "you coming in?" He asks "nah your better at this part than me. I'll just walk around till your done. You know explore a bit." I say " all right. Meet back here in twenty?" "Sure, I won't go far." I say before walking off.

Even though this planet looks like just a normal city it's definitely one of the nicer planets I've seen since I've been living in space. This place reminds me of earth a bit, minus the aliens and spaceships that is. When I make my way back to meet up with quill I see him being attacked by some green lady. I run over as I see her get knocked off him by some fur ball. "Quill you okay?" I ask as I get over to him, the woman still being attacked by the... ferret? "Get them in the bag!" The ball of fur shouts and strong twigs start to wrap them selves around me "hey!!" I shout looking behind me to see a tree man. I try to wiggle my way out but sadly I am not as strong as I would like. Quill gets up, grabs the orb, and starts running off. "Quill!" I shout after him before I'm shoved in a sack. He left me....he fucking left me! I don't even bother trying to get out of the sack. If quill doesn't want me around I won't force it. Besides how bad can the tree and ball of fluff be? I get tossed around as the tree man runs around, suddenly it stops and I feel like I'm floating. "Subject 89p13, drop your weapon." A man's voice says over some type of megaphone I'm guessing. "Of the authority of the Nova Core you are under arrest." The voice continues. "Perfect" I mutter to myself.

I get taken to nova core along with, the green woman, raccoon, tree dude, and quill. They line us up behind a glass wall as of their assessing us. After that we get shipped off to some prison called the kyln. If I hadn't helped quill with all those thefts I definitely would have been let go as a victim. When we arrive guards lead us inside and the raccoon goes on about some of nova core being good and the rest being corrupt or something, I don't really pay attention. "Gracie?" Quill says with caution "don't talk to me jack ass." I warn"look I'm sorry. I was gonna come back for you once I out ran her. Clearly my plan fell through." He says trying to redeem himself. "Do better till then don't fucking talk to me." I say sternly. He then starts talking to rocket but I only catch the last bit of the conversation "what's a raccoon?" He asks "you are." I say "ain't no thing like me except me." He answers I just roll my eyes.

"Whatever. So does anyone care to explain just what, exactly, this stupid orb is since we're all now in prison because of it?" I ask "I am groot." The tree says "don't care. What's the orb.?" I ask again "I have no words for an Honor less thief." Gamora says. "That's a lot of high and mighty coming from the lackey of a genocidal maniac." Rocket says, she looks back at him quick. "Yeah, I know who you are. Anyone who's anyone knows who you are." He continues. "Yeah we know who you are." Quill states loudly "who is she?" He asks quieter, "I am groot." Groot says "we've established that grandmother willow." I say. "I wasn't retrieving the orb for Ronan. I was betraying him." Gamora says, she may come off as one crazy bitch but I believe her. "I had an agreement to sell it to a third party." She continues "I am groot." The walking log says again "well that's just as fascinating as the first eighty nine time you told us that. What's wrong with the giving tree here?" Quill asks "well he doesn't know talking good like me and you. His vocabulary is limited to 'I' and 'am' and 'groot' exclusively in that order" rocket explains " that's gonna wear real thin, real fast." Quill says. I then hear a familiar song as we pass a doorway. "Hey! Put that away." Quill says to the blue dude putting on his Walkman.

The doors start to close and quill slips through them into the room "listen to me you big blue bastard. Take those headphones off. Those are mine. That belongs in impound." Quill says. I roll my eyes as I watch everything unfold in front of me. I still have no idea why the Walkman is so damn important to him. "That tape. That player. Is mine!" He continues clearly mad the blue man picks up a metal rod and uses it to electrocute quill. I can't help but smile at the sight after he left me behind. "Are you smiling?" Rocket asks "ten out of ten for observation." I reply. After quill's scene gamora and I are taken to a separate room where we're stripped down and drenched in orange liquid. They throw us in another room and we dry off then get dressed in the yellow prison uniform. When we walk back out we are met up with the guys again and a guard hands us each a blanket as we walk out into an enormous room full of alien prisoners.

As we're walking out I get hit in the head with something followed by prisoners shouting "murderer!" And "you first!", "what the actual Christ." I say to myself before realizing their rage is towards gamora. "Like I said, she's got a rep." Rocket says "but what for?" I ask "a lot of these prisoners have lost their families to Ronan's goons." He explains. "The guards will protect her right?" Quill asks "they're here to keep us from getting out. They don't care what we do to each other inside." Rocket answers. "Whatever nightmares the future holds, are dreams compared to what's behind me." Gamora says "aren't you just a bundle of joy." I say. I turn around to be met by a tall buff blue alien. "I'm starting to believe the dominant alien race are smurfs." I say maintaining eye contact with the guy in front of me. "Ain't you a pretty one." He says with a threatening tone, running his hand along my face "back off" quill says stepping between the man and I.

The blue man laughs " I'm gonna slather you up in gunavian jelly, and go to town..." he's cut off by groot jamming his fingers in his nose and making the twigs grow. "Oh shit!" I say shocked, groot then lifts the man dangling his a few inches off the floor. "Lets make something clear!" Rocket announces "these two are our booty. You wanna get through them, you gotta go through us. Or rather, we go through you!" Rocket continues for all the prisoners to hear. Rocket and groot walk off while quill and I take a moment to process what just happened. "I'm with them." We say in unison then follow after them. "Gracie, can we please talk a minute?" Quill asks, I sigh "how many times do you want me to apologize?" He asks "I was shoved in a sack, kidnaped if you will, and you ran off leaving me behind! Just because you stood up to the big blue bug doesn't mean you are forgiven. So as I told you, do better." I answer.
