PETER Q
I haven't moved since I landed here however long ago. If I move my head slightly to the left I can see the hospital where my mother died. I lie on the grass bank where Yondu picked me up.
My mind is on Gamora. I feel a dull ache inside me and nothing else, as though if I were to feel fully I wouldn't be able to function.
I saw my friends disintegrate in front of me, Drax, Mantis. I can only guess what happened to Rocket and Groot.
'What do you mean you don't know the way out? This is your mind landscape!' A voice comes clear as anything and I recognise it instantly.
'I am Groot.' Another voice says in response.
'So this isn't the exit, it's just leading us to another world? In what way is that helpful to us at all?!'
'I am Groot!'
'Quill?' The voice says.
I turn to the right and see Rocket standing beside Groot. Rocket stops behind Groot who follows forward and stares at me.
'You're alive.' I say, sitting up to look at them.
'I am Groot.' Groot reaches me and gives me an awkward angsty hug, brief and weak. I appreciate it none the less.
'Hey Rocket.' I say, as he stands and stares. 'You okay?'
'I'm sorry we left.' He says.
'What?'
'With Thor, we should have stayed with you. That's how we do it. We stay together.'
'Gamora's dead.' I say, my voice cracking.
'I am Groot?'
'Thanos.' I say in response. Groot turns away and sits on the grass slightly away from Rocket and I.
'I know. Tony told us.' He says.
'You know Tony?'
'Thor introduced us. It's been a long year.'
'Year?!'
'Yeah we have some catching up to do.' He walks up to me and climbs up to sit on my shoulder, 'I'm not even embarrassed to admit how much I missed you, Quill.'
