A young Gamora sat on the last step of Thanos' throne room in his flagship.  She awaited the titan's appearance, as she was supposed to be introduced to her siblings.  She sat there balancing the blade that Thanos had given her on her home planet,  right before half of the population was terminated.  Gamora at the time didn't understand what she had seen,  but now at this current moment,  all she was thinking about was balancing the knife perfectly,  just as her father had.
   "Is that practicing I see little one? "
Came a voice out of the blue,  it belong to Thanos, the mad titan, gauntletless. "Yes father. " Gamora replied giddily.
" I have some people for you to meet." Thanos said as he turned showing 4 strange entities,  all different looking,  but each menacing in their own way.  "These are your siblings little one.  I shall let the Maw introduce them to you. " Just then,  Ebony Maw walked forward elegantly,  hands pressed together as if praying.  "Greetings, new child of Thanos. " Maw spoke.  His voice sounded quaint,  and surprisingly pleasant to Gamora's ears.  " I am Ebony Maw,  the spokesman of Thanos, and his first child. I use what some would call magic,  and my power knows very little bounds." The Maw injected with a crooked smile.  The maw then pointed at a hooded grey man shaped entity, who smiled devilishly revealing sharp teeth.  "This is Corvus Glaive,  the second son of Thanos.  He wields a spear whose power can deflect a blast from an infinity stone. " The Maw stated proudly. 
Glaive stepped forward,  bowed his head slightly, and spoke with a gravely voice, "It is a pleasure child,  I have no doubt you will become a great warrior,  and fight along your family to the glory of our father,  and bring balance to the universe. " Gamora responded with a mile wide grin.  She looked to the right and met the eyes of a blue haired woman,  with black horns projecting from the sides of her forehead and light blue skin.  The woman winked at her, and Gamora couldn't help but feel welcomed by her. 
"This" the Maw began, " is Proxima Midnight.  The third child of Thanos.  She wields a spear with three heads,  that never misses her target.  She is quick,  agile,  and makes for a good laugh when not in glorious battle. " Proxima walked up to Gamora,  patted her on the head,  and spoke with an echoey voice,  " Hello little sister, I hope you enjoy it here,  you are serving the greatest cause in the universe,  and your father couldn't be a better role model for you.  I look forward to training you. " Proxima stepped back  and nodded at the Maw.
The Maw pointed at a tall beast,  "This,  is Black Dwarf,  he does not speak,  for his work speaks for himself.  He is strong willed,  strong boned, and wields a hammer on a chain that teachers far lengths,  he is a great warrior, and the fourth child of Thanos." Black Dwarf looked at Gamora and nodded,  the only sign of communication she would get from him for a long time.  Thanos walked up to Gamora and reached out his hand.  "It's time to eat little one. " Thanos said sweetly.  "For tomorrow your training begins, and you will be the newest member of the Black Order.
