I Need A Hero Vol 3 {Peter Quill}

eleven

Rocket, Groot and Thor continued their journey to Nidevellir. Groot's eyes were still glued to his video game. Thor still had his mind on Gwen so he decided to ask Rocket about her.

"Rabbit, what can you tell me about Gwen?" Thor asked

"Pierce? Well, she's a Quill now but sometimes I still call her Pierce to avoid confusion" Rocket said.

"She's a Kosmonian"

"Yeah. She's the Queen of Kosmo"

"I should have known by her beauty that she was a Queen"

"I'm getting the sense that you're attracted to Pierce, but if you think she'd ever leave Quill's side, then unfortunately you're wrong. They're married, in love and they have a mini Quill together. So, unless Quill dies or something, you're chances with Pierce are very slim"

"I am Groot"

"Tinkle in the cup. We're not looking. What's there to see? What's a twig? Everybody's seen a twig"

"I am Groot"

"You can pour what's in the cup out in space then go in the cup again" Thor said

"You speak Groot?" Rocket asked.

"Yes, they taught it on Asgard. It was an elective"

"I am Groot?"

"You'll know when we're close. Nidavellir's forge harnesses the blazing power of a Neutron Star. It's the birthplace of my hammer; it's truly awesome"

"Okay, time to be the captain" Rocker mumbled to himself. He then directed his words at Thor. "So, dead Brother, huh? That can be annoying"

"Well, he's been dead before. But this time... I think it really might be true"

"And you said that your sister and your Dad..."

"Both dead"

"But, still got a Mom, though?"

"Killed by a Dark Elf"

"Best friend?"

"Stabbed through the heart"

"You sure you're up for this particular murder mission?"

"Absolutely. The rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret, they're all tremendous motivators. They truly clear the mind.. so, I'm good to go"

"Yeah, but this Thanos we're talking about, he's the toughest there is"

"Well, he's never fought me"

"Yeah, he has"

"Well, he's never fought me TWICE! And I'll have a new hammer, don't forget"

"Well, it'd better be some hammer"

"You know, I'm 1,500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one of them would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I'm only alive because Fate wants we alive. Thanos is just the latest in a long line of bastards, and he'll be the latest to feel my vengeance. Fate wills it so"

"And if you're wrong?"

"If I'm wrong, then ... what more could I lose?"

"I could lose a lot. Me personally, I could lose a lot. If fate does want you to kill that crapsack, you need more than one stupid eyeball" Rocket said. He pulled an eye out from his pocket and gave it to Thor.

"What is this?" Thor asked.

"What's it look like? Some jerk lost a bet with me in Contraxia"

"He gave you his eye?"
