Guardians of the Galaxy (Peter Quill x Reader)

Chapter Five

NOVA HEADQUARTERS

The five of you are dragged from the place where the battle over the orb went down. You silently curse yourself for turning against Peter, but your loyalty has to lie with Gamora. Peter Quill is merely a man you met earlier today who can easily seduce you and get you flustered, obviously, it's easy to get trapped. However, Gamora is your sister and the plan has always been to remain by her side. You just hope the altercation over the orb doesn't change the way Peter views you. Catching a glance at him being berated by the Nova Corp officers, you still can't help but feel a pang of guilt. The Nova Corp officers proceed to put all of you in handcuffs and take you to the headquarters in their ships. The handcuffs feel tight and uncomfortable, suffocating your wrists. As the criminals involved in the fight line up, you itch to get out of them. Thankfully, they are removed so Corpsman Dey can present you individually to Denarian Saal.

The first person up is Gamora. Dey gives her an introduction. "Gamora. Surgically modified and trained as a living weapon. The adopted daughter of the Mad Titan, Thanos. Recently, Thanos lent her and her sister Nebula out to Ronan, which leads us to believe that Thanos and Ronan are working together," he states before moving her along.

The second victim in line is the raccoon whose name you soon discover is Rocket. "Subject 89P13. Calls itself Rocket. The result of illegal genetic and cybernetic experiments on a lower life form," Dey says agitatedly before moving him along as well.

The walking tree, you learn, is called Groot. He steps up next and you giggle at Saal's reaction. "What the hell?" he asks in disgust.

Dey introduces him to Saal, not really phased at the living tree that stands before him. "They call it Groot. A humanoid plant that's been traveling recently as 89P13's personal houseplant slash muscle."

You get pushed up after Groot and stand there nervously. What are they going to say about you? You take a quick glance at Peter who doesn't seem to be listening to the officers. Dey looks at you as you try your best to appear careless and threatening. "Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, a petty thief from Terra. She was taken as a child by the Mad Titan, Thanos, and raised alongside Gamora. Could also be working for Ronan," Dey recites, passing you along after providing your brief backstory. You groan at his words, hating to be seen as someone who was raised by Thanos. Thanos did not raise you, he trained you to be a fighter that worked for him. You ignored all of his speeches about imbalance and promised to never become a killer. Your loving family raised you, and Thanos is the man who took you away from your home.

Lastly, Peter steps up in front of Dey and Saal. "Peter Jason Quill, also from Terra. Raised from youth by a band of mercenaries called the Ravagers, led by Yondu Udonta."

As Dey spoke, Peter pretended to turn a crank that slowly raised his middle finger. You lightly chuckle as he flips them off. He puts a hand to his chest and pretends to be surprised by his own actions. "Oh, I'm sorry," he remarks. "I didn't know how this machine worked." You continue to laugh at his arrogance and he shoots you a wink. Why do you find him so attractive?

Saal gives him a repulsed look. "What a bunch of a-holes," he judges, earning a sneer from Dey. "Transport all four to the Kyln."

THE KYLN

Handcuffed once again, more Nova Corp officers haul you through the hallways of the Kyln. The place is a highly guarded facility and security seems to be everywhere. Not at all intimidated, Rocket speaks to Peter in a chill manner. "I guess most of Nova Corps wanna uphold the laws, but these ones here, they're corrupt and cruel. But, hey, that's not my problem. I ain't gonna be here long. I've escaped twenty-two prisons, this one's no different. You're lucky these broads showed up because otherwise, me and Groot would be collecting that bounty right now, and you'd be getting drawn and quartered by Yondu and those ravagers."
