I Need A Hero Vol 3 {Peter Quill}

Peter and his new friends followed Strange's cloak back to its owner and his other friends. Everyone looked at him with a worried expression.

"Hey. It was Stephen right?" Peter asked. Strange nodded. "Guys, these are my new friends Wanda, Sam, Bucky and T'Challa" That's when Peter noticed the expression on everybody's face. "What's going on?"

"Gamora, should you tell him or should I?" Strange asked.

"I will" Gamora said. She walked over to Peter, and took his hands in hers. "Peter, when you were back on Titan, Stephen said he saw the future at least fourteen million times. In everyone of those, even the one where Thanos loses, Gwen is in some kind of danger"

"What?" Peter said. He looked to Stephen. "What kind of danger?"

"There is a traitor on Kosmo and they plan to hurt her, and possibly your daughter. I'm sorry, I never saw all of it" Strange said.

"There's a traitor?" Damien asked.

"I think it's him" Drax said, pointing towards Quentin. "He's tried to kill us twice. It wouldn't surprise me"

"How can I be the traitor if I'm here with you?" Quentin said.

"I feel like I might know who it is. It's Helena. She's probably been working for Thanos this whole time!" Peter said.

"Wait, she's Gwen's sister right? The other girl with the purple hair?" Parker asked.

"Yeah. Gwen's never trusted her, and none of us have"

"Peter, I know you may not but please trust me on this. I can promise you that it is not Helena" Quentin said.

"I believe him Peter" Gamora said.

"You do? Damien? Mantis? Drax? Groot? Do you believe Quentin?" Peter asked.

"I think Helena's redeemed herself, and  I'm not just saying that because she's my sister" Damien said.

"If everyone else trusts her, then I do" Mantis said.

"I am Groot"

"I for one, agree with Quill. We need to warn female Quill" Drax said.

"How? We're stuck in here" Peter said.

"The clairvoyant" Ophelia spoke up. "He can do more than see into the future. He spoke about this place once. He spoke to the lost souls that inhabited this place long ago. I don't like that fact that you're accusing my daughter, but I can see why you are. Reach out to The Clairvoyant and warn him"

"Okay. Drax, since you're the only one who agrees with me, let's go find a quiet spot. Hopefully we can warn him before something bad happens" Peter said.

"I can't wait to prove these dumb people wrong" Drax said. He and Peter walked off together.

"I am Groot"

"The tree talks. I'm not the only one seeing that, right?" Sam said.

Peter and Drax found a quiet spot. They looked around and then looked at each other.

"So, how are we supposed to do this?" Peter asked.

"You're the King of Kosmo. I thought you'd know" Drax said. Peter sighed and then looked up to the yellow sky.

"Clairvoyant, this is King Peter Quill of Kosmo. I'm here with Drax. If you can hear us, please give us a sign"

"Ah, your Majesty" Clairvoyant's voice echoed. "I'm so sorry about the situation you're in. I wish there was someway I could help, but it's not up to me"

"What do you mean?"

"You will eventually make it out of the stone, but that's when Thanos is defeated and the effects of the snap are reversed"

"Who stops him?" Drax asked.

"Young Meredith, though she's the same age, she takes on the form of an older woman. She calls her older form Celeste. I also see a man in an iron suit. He's on Kosmo at that moment. I believe his name is Tony Stark. And I see another woman, and the name Marvel. Captain Marvel"

"The reason we called out to you is to warn Gwen of a traitor. We need to warn her"

"Ah, give me the name of this traitor and I will pass the news onto Queen Gwen"

"We believe it to be Helena. Gwen's sister"

"And also Quentin" Drax said.

"Dude, we've been over this. He can't be the traitor if he's stuck here"

"So, you believe it to be Helena? Do you truly trust that she is the traitor?" Clairvoyant said.

"Yes"

"Very well. I will warn Gwen. Anything else I should pass onto her?"

"Can you tell her that I love her and Meredith so much, and that I miss both of them?" Peter asked.

"It can and will be done. Please don't hesitate to call my name if you wish to speak to me again" Clairvoyant's voice echoed one last time.

"There. Now nothing bad will happen to Gwen" Drax said.

"I really hope so Drax" Peter said.

In an unknown location

"Servant" An alien woman spoke into a com-link. That woman in question had purple skin. Her hair was dark as were her eyes. "Servant, answer me!"

"Phantom, what is it?" the "servant" spoke.

"Have you gained the trust of the Queen yet? Thanos is getting impatient" Phantom said.

"You need to give me a little more time. She's been through a lot. I may work for Thanos but at least I have a heart"

"Well, if you don't do it soon, you won't have one for very much longer! We need the Queen and the young Princess. You're the one who needs to bring them to us"

"I understand, Lady Phantom. It will be done, but you need to have patience"

"You have three more days, otherwise the others and I will have to do it, and then you'll be severely punished. Am I understood?"

"Yes, Lady Phantom"

"Good. Don't disappoint us Servant, or the consequences will be deadly" Phantom hung up her com-link.

The "servant" sighed and regretfully looked at Gwen, who seemed to be enjoying the company of Thor.

"I'm so sorry" the "servant" spoke in a whisper.
