"Wanda put me down." I demanded however she didn't bother to respond this time. I was carried to a huge crowd that looked really familiar, why did they look familiar?

"What is this Gamora?" I asked confused and she had everyone line up. What is going on?

"These are all the people you've helped out. Everyone in here anyway, wow such a huge crowd for being worthless and helpless." She said and I rolled my eyes. I didn't do much, and I'm sure they would rather be home which they aren't, that's part of my fault. So why bother showing me them?

"Okay what's your point?" I asked wanting to do anything else besides being here. This was just wasting time, not that it mattered, but still.

"No point, but they're going to talk to you." She said and threw me into the pile of people. Can they stop pushing me around like I'm a rag doll?

"Ouch." I said getting up, dusting myself off. I felt someone tugging at my suit, I looked down and it was a baby I knew. I saw concern in her eyes, I softened my facial expressions and she relaxed.

"Hey Rose." I said picking her up, she smiled and I started to make faces to make her laugh. The first time I saw her was crying for hours before I helped her find someone she knew. Her parents were lucky enough to surive the snap. While they are still out there, she did have some family, her sister wasn't as lucky and ended up in here as well. She has a couple other relatives but she feels more comfortable around her sister.

She reached for my face and started to play with it, being a bit rough but that just made me laugh. She then reached for my hair and started to babble and I smiled. Her sister than came to collect her. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Gamora smirking. Before I could say anything to her I felt another tug and turned around.

"Max!" I said picking up a toddler, he doesn't have any family in here but I found people to take care of him who he's happy with. He has an attachment to me since I was the first person to help him, however he isn't as attached as he use to be. He's learned to trust others, considering how long it's been, it's not too surprising.

"What's up buddy?" I asked bouncing and he started to giggle.

"The green lady say you sad." He said concerned and I hugged him. I glared at Gamora real quick while he couldn't see. I quickly smiled again before trying to reassure him that I'm okay.

"Don't worry about me bud. I'm fine, what about you, are you happy?" I asked and he nodded his head with a huge smile on his face.

"That's good, I think you're family is here to get you." I said handing him off to his "father" and he waved goodbye. If we do get back I have a feeling that it's going to be a rough transition for him.

I then turned around and saw twenty other babies and turned again and there were at least thirty kids. I knew all of them and I often visited all of them. All of them had the same look, concern. I glared at Gamora.

"Okay Gamora I get it! I help out kids so what? I'm a kid myself!" I shouted and Wanda lifted my out of that group to another. Why can't they just drop it? This next group had teenagers who've been homesick and don't have anyone in here with them.

"Okay I'm helping people out in my own age group so what?" I groaned and got lifted up again. If she picks me up again I'm going to scream.

"Okay before I go to another group, I know I help out other people. But that's in here and I'm only being friendly. I want to know you're point Gamora." I said and Wanda put me down next to Gamora. Finally, the ground.

"My point is, you help out a lot and there's a lot of people in here that you can talk to. You're not the only one in here without a family. I know you say we're your family but I know you're missing everyone out there. If you can convince them it's not that bad in here, maybe try and convince yourself instead of others." She said and everyone started to leave, leaving me alone to think. Maybe I do have a purpose here. Do I?
