"it's so much worse"

• P.Q •

When Peter Quill had contacted you with news that he had "cool glowing space rocks" you didn't think twice to tell him to quite literally, drop by. Daughter of Bruce Banner, you couldn't help yourself with the thought of experimenting with unknown substances, but at the same time when had you ever even seen an unknown substance?  

"So what are we gonna do with them? Can we blow them up? Can we light them on fire? Can we throw them from a really tall tree?" Peter kept bombarding you with questions the second he had handed you a bag full of space rocks that were in fact glowing. Your mind was asking it's own questions. What would you possibly do first? You opened the bag and saw that the rocks glowed and sparked slightly, letting off a purple gas into earths atmosphere. What could possibly go wrong?

"Okay Quill, go set these somewhere in the yard that's far away from the headquarters but also not too close to the trees over there. I'm going to go find something to pour onto it." You placed the rocks in his hands and sent him towards the yard, specifically away from the very expensive building you were standing on.

"Got it. Far away from the building but also far away from the trees-" he repeated, scanning the giant property for a good testing site. "Roger that."

While Peter ventured off into the yard, you went into the lab to find safety coats and goggles and some kind of chemical to test. Once you found the safety gear you decided to meet Peter on the roof (the site agreed to watch the reaction).

"Alright Peter, put these on-" as you handed him a pair of lab goggles, the underground sprinklers gargled before spewing out hefty amounts of water onto the pristine grass. Your heads both shot up as bright flash of light followed by a sound resembling a mortar boomed from the yard.

"Holy shit!" You both yelled as masses of dirt and rock were thrown into the air. The yard was ruined but who cares? You just blew up some alien rock with your space friend! And besides, the building was untouched so what was the big deal? A bright purple smoke dissipated into the air and you both stood with your mouths hanging open before letting out the loudest, most surprised laughs of your life.

Peter dropped the goggles you handed him, grabbing onto both of your shoulders and shaking you with pure awe, "did we just do that? That was better than I could've imagined! What even happened?"

"I think it reacted extremely violently with water," you answered, the realization that you had ruined the yard setting in. "I have to tell my dad. He's gonna kill me."

"Why? Things blow up all the time."

You shook your head, "under zero circumstances should I have tried to react any alien substance with a foreign element. Now that I'm thinking about it, we are lucky it didn't react with the atmosphere!"

You pulled out your phone, dialing your dads number and fully expecting him to hulk out on you. It only rang twice before he answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad, what's up?"

"Nothing sweetheart, just working on a small project with Steve. Why?"

You paused, staring at the pit in the yard. "There's a- uh- a hole in the yard that we are going to have to fill."

"A hole?" A slight pause. "Like a rabbit hole?"

"No."

"How big?"

You looked up at Peter who shrugged and gestured with his arms how big the hole was on a much smaller proportional scale. "It's pretty big. You should come out. We're on the roof."

Bruce sighed, "is it bad?"

"Yeah," you laughed into the phone while looking between Quill and the literal crater in the landscaping. "It's kinda bad. It's definitely going to be a challenge."

The call ended after and you and Quill stood on the roof staring at the hole. Within minutes the door to the roof slung open and your dad and Steve were speechless.

Steve motioned to the hole then put his hands on his head. "You never said it was this big!"

"Oh no, this is much worse," Bruce answered. "What the hell am I supposed to tell Tony?"

You looked back at Steve who eyed you back, "You call this a small landscaping problem?"

"Oh it's worse," Quill stated and laughed at the mere size of the hole. "It's so much worse."
