Starlight | Peter Quill

✦ 5 | the biggest idiots in the galaxy ✦

I THINK I FELT MY HEART DROPPED a little bit when she said that she was sent after me. I thought I just met someone who have a lot of things in common with me yet now I don't know whether all of those are just lies to get to me.

"I did told you that If I tell you why I'm here you'll wish you never asked."

"What is your intention to tell us that? To make us trust you? That just make me not trust you even more." Gamora speaks up when I didn't.

"Look, my master sent me to go to Morag to retrieve that orb but you were already there and Ronan's goons was there too so I didn't come out. He knows you were being transported to Kyln so he sent me on a mission and reported me to The Nova Corps and told me to get the orb."

"Serves you right."

"Come on, Quill. I always lived with the burden of having to do what he says and this is my chance to escape. Just like you, Gamora."

I look at Gamora and I can see her struggles. I'm struggling too because now I have this need of getting to know her better.

"Okay. We trust you." I finally said. "If you betray us I will hunt you down." Gamora adds.

"You can try." She said smugly earning a glare from her. "I'm kidding I won't betray all of you, I promise."

"If we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna need to get into that watchtower. And to do that I'm gonna need a few things." Rocket said in the morning as all of us are grabbing our food.

"The guards wear security bands to control their ins and outs. I need one." Rocket said looking at the guard using the security band. "Leave it to me." Gamora replied.

"That dude there," I look to a dude limping with his prosthetic leg. "I need his prosthetic leg."

"His leg ?"

"Yeah. God knows I don't need the rest of him. Look at him. He's useless."

"All right." I said walking towards a table and sitting down.

"And finally on the wall back there is a black panel. Blinky yellow light. Do you see it?" We all turn to the right.

"Yeah."

"There's a quarnyx battery behind it. Purpleish box, green wires. To get into that watchtower, I definitely need it."

"How are we supposed to do that?" Gamora asked with a hopeless voice.

"Well supposably, these bald bodies find both of you attractive. So maybe you can work out some sort of trade."

"You must be joking."

"I know."

Every eyes instantly go to Nova.

"What? How do you think I know about the beating up incident?"

At this point I don't know If I'm terrified or captivated by her honestly.

"Look it's 20 feet up in the air, and it's in the middle of the most heavily guarded prison. It's impossible to get up there without being seen." I said somehow not wanting her to do whatever she has to do to get that battery.

"I got a plan and that plan requires a frickin' quarnyx battery so figure it out!" He yells slamming his fist to the table. "Can I get back to it? Thanks."

"Now, this is important. Once the battery is removed, everything is gonna slam into emergency mode. Once we have it, we gotta move quickly so you definitely need to get that last."
