Guardian Angel (Guardians Of The Galaxy Fanfiction)

Bar Fight and Tensions Tested

Ashen wasn't exactly sure when it started but she now found herself in the middle of a fight with Drax, Groot, and Rocket. The three were going at it and she was trying to be buffer. However it wasn't working out really well.

She bolted to Groot and sunk her teeth into one of his arm and managed to heave it off of Drax. However Groot had another arm and just tightened his grasp on Drax that way. Groot then used his other arm to grow long vines and wrap them around Ashen. She yelped as she was thrown sideways into a chair.

She shook her head to clear it and hauled herself to her paws. She then saw Rocket fumbling for his gun. Her eyes widened and darted to his side. She stood right in front of him and every time he tried to move she moved with him. Luckily for her she was light on her paws and every maneuver Rocket did Ashen could match perfectly.

He then made a sound between a growl and hiss that made Ashen's fur prickle along her shoulder. Rocket suddenly turned the butt of the gun on it. It collided harshly with her shoulder before he raised it and continued hitting her harshly. Ashen tried to bolt to her paws but he quickened the hitting and Ashen felt her shoulder seem to wail agony.

Ashen looked up but she didn't see Rocket in those handsome brown eyes. She saw a monster. "Please stop," she begged him. She saw an escape but the only was out was a launch for his throat and that could have dire consequences if he thrashed or turned the wrong way. She just stayed down and took the pain, pleading for it to end soon.

"Hey," snarled a voice and when Ashen raised her head she realized it was Grenade. He darted forward to Rocket and stood, matching his height. He crossed his arms and hissed. "Leave. Her. Alone."

Rocket only chuckle and pointed the gun right at him. Ashen then exploded upward and the gun fell from Rocket's paw. Rocket gasped in shock before he wiggled his haunches, ready to spring. Grenade beat him to it though and grasped it in firm paws. Rocket howled in rage before he kicked his paw against Grenade's stomach and sent him backwards harshly. He collided with a creature standing erect. The creature frowned at Grenade and raised a foot, ready to impound him.

Ashen wasn't going to have that. She surged forward and pushed the creature sideways and he toppled over.

"Thanks," panted Grenade with a dip of his head. Ashen nodded back and looked at Rocked who picked up his gun and pointed it at Drax. Ashen thought about leaping in but she saw what happened last time and thought better of it. Grenade pushed forward and rubbed himself against Ashen affectionately.

"Let em' go at each other," he muttered dryly. "I'm tired of breaking up kit fights. In the lab we never went at each other like this. Friendships were the only thing we had there."

"This is different," pointed out Ashen heavily as she saw them continuing to argue. "They don't share the same values we do."

The two just stood as Rocket readied his gun but suddenly Peter bolted in and raised his hands as he stepped in front of Rocket. "No no no no no," he begged above the noise of the cheering. "Rocket what are you doing?"

"Being an idiot if you ask me," reported Ashen as she looked to Peter, favoring her shoulder.

Rocket didn't seem to hear her but Peter did. Gamora was busy trying to push Drax back who was looking at Rocket in pure rage.

"What's going on," asked Peter as his eyes darted around madly.

"This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about," shouted Drax as he pushed harshly against Gamora but she pushed just as harshly back against him.

"That is true," yowled Rocket, still grasping the gun tightly and she was sure that Rocket would fire at Drax at any moment.

"He has no respect," added Drax in the same loud tone that made everyone look to them.
