Guardians: Part 6

(Recap: An alien invasion has started, but the Guardians have come up with a plan to get rid of the hostiles, which includes Spiderman, Rocket and Groot sneaking aboard the ship. Will they succeed in their plan? I dunno. Seriously I'm improvising here.)

I should have brought a jacket.

Mostly because, that big badass alien warship? Had zero heaters. I was freezing my webs off on the side of it while carrying a raccoon on my back like Yoda and dragging an alien tree below me. Yep, just another day for your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.

"There!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Rocket pointing to a hatch on the side of the ship. Rain and wind pummeled me as I crawled over to it.

Yoda the raccoon pulled a drill of some sort from his backpack and told me to move my baby face. I rolled my eyes, but did as he said. A few minutes later, a sheet of metal ripped off the ship and plummeted down to the city below.

Rocket shouted close to my ear so he could be heard over the wind. "Let's go!"

I boosted him through the hole first. He gripped the edges and disappeared to the inside. Next I pulled Groot up and he dived in the opening. I followed them last, barely able to squeeze through the small vent myself.

I fell into a dark hallway, left arm twisting at a wrong angle as I hit the ground.

"Ow," I sat up. "That's gonna be sore in the morning."

"Get up kid," Rocket barked. I jumped in surprise, just now making out his shadow in the dim light. "We got work ta do."

Apparently he had been able to pry away Groot's video game, because the glowing screen was nowhere in sight. Rocket lead to way down the hall to the right, like it had shown in the schematics. I couldn't see twenty feet in front of me, unlike the super raccoon.

"Karen," I whispered. "Turn on night vision."

"Sure, Peter."

My vision turned a ghostly green. I guess the Chiss didn't need lights when they had those cool exoskeletons to see for them.

The second thing I noticed was the silence. It was a stark contrast to the howling rain and thunder outside. Dark, quiet places freaked me out. You never knew if something would jump out at you. I shivered just thinking about killer robot launching from the shadows.

We crept down the hall as quietly as possible. Every time something metal shifted in Rocket's backpack, I winced, sure the exos would hear it and come after us. It didn't take long until one did.

We turned a corner, surprised to say the least, when we cams face to face with an eight foot tall metal robot, glowing blue eyes and all.

It immediately dived for us. Rocket and Groot rolled to the right while I jumped for the left wall. The exo turned to me and charged, apparently not have weapons on him. It's hands reached out to grab me, but I quickly webbed them together in a cocoon. The exo seemed mildly surprised for about two seconds. Then Rocket blasted its head off.

"Whoa!" I shouted and jumped away. "Thanks for the warning! What gun is that?"

Rocket looked at me in disbelief. "The laser one. Now, come on! The core is just around the next corner."

He activated his jet pack and blasted off impatiently.

What? I thought and hurried to swing it down the tall hallway after him. Since when does he have a jet pack?

My com crackled to life, nearly making me fall from the air.

"They're putting troops on the ground!" I recognized the voice as Sam.
