Infinity of Stars (Reader x Rocket Raccoon)

Chapter 13

"I can't believe she straight up betrayed us!"

"The human girl was not to be trusted, but you let her into this group with welcoming arms! The person who should be paying for this is Quill!"

"I trusted her because she was someone that could get us to the Gauntlet in time!"

"Well, that's too late now, Zerron and his band of idiots have probably gotten it now!" Gamora shouted, "Look at us Quill," she gestured to the five, "We can't defeat them. We have a ship that barely works, Zerron will have this entire galaxy and all of us included killed!"

Rocket had spoken at all, but all the shouting above each other was beginning to get on his nerves, his ears twitching, teeth snarling more and more as he sat quietly, but it wouldn't take long before his anger would boil above.

"WILL YOU LOT SHUT YA TRAPS!" Rocket screeched above all of them suddenly, making everyone cease their arguments to a complete stop. The room had now quietened and felt like the temperature had gone from magma hot to ice cold.

"Rocket, you have a point you'd like to say?" Quill interjected. "As a matter of fact, I do." He breathed in before speaking, "YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF PHONIES IF YA THINK THAT WE'VE GONNA SIT HERE AND DO NOTHIN'!" Everyone was taken back by his abrupt change and shouting.

"SHE DIDN'T BETRAY US! THE FACT THAT SHE WAS TRYIN' TO PROTECT US WAS SOMETHING THAT YA ALL SWEEPED OVER YA DUMB KNUCKLEHEADS!" "You were always callin' her names!" He pointed towards Drax, " and you haven't given her a chance from the beginning!" he then pointed towards Gamora.

"I was the only one out of ya bunch to get to know her!" "I am Groot." Groot mumbled, making Rocket roll his eyes, "She saved our asses twice before, she did it again, so that we could get out and find her."

"Rocket... I didn't think we were going to find her..." Gamora spoke up, "That bastard has her and he probably won't keep her alive for it." He hated seeming weak, his voice had croaked too many times during his shouting. "They have her... and I can't do anything about it, he glared up at them, "BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL SITTING HERE ON YA ASSES AND CALLING HER A TRAITOR!"

Everyone was dead silent, taking in Rocket's words carefully, deciding on what to do or say next, "As much as I don't like saying this... but he's right." Peter began, "Are you siding with him?" Gamora exclaimed, "She saved our lives too many times before, and we didn't think much of it... it's time that we save hers."

Rocket stared up at the Terran in disbelief, "I don't care if you're not with me if you don't wanna come, say now." Peter continued. Everyone was silent, as Rocket stood to his feet, "Count me in, you've already sided with me before and I can't just leave her... we never got to finish somethin' that had never started." Peter smiled at him.

It was next for Drax to stand, "You're a strange man Quill." he began, "But if it's to see the rodent happy, I'm in." Rocket was about to interject that he was always happy, until Groot stood up happily onto the table in the middle, "I am Groot!" He beamed, as Rocket smiled at him.

Everyone's eyes were now towards Gamora, "I didn't trust her, due to her hurting us all... but I've been so blind from the beginning. I was only... trying to protect my friends...." she smiled, "my family." she now stood up to join the others in her team.

They all smiled at each other, "Now, what are we waitin' for." Rocket smirked, "Time to get this old bucket workin', we're gettin' my girl back!"
