Heart of a Saint, life of a Sinner| Rocket Raccoon x OC

Chapter 9- Bad Rescue Plan

Iris's POV:

   Once we all got in the Milano, Rocket began to fly the ship and set the coordinates to head to Yondu and the Ravagers. Once he finished setting the coordinates, he put the Milano on auto pilot, to talk to us about the plan to save Peter and Gamora.

"So here is the plan, I'm gonna go and work a gun to put on the ship. Once we hook it up and get to the Ravagers's ship, Drax is gonna go up there and shoot a warning shot at the ship. And I'm gonna give them a little pep talk." Rocket said.

  "What kind of a plan is that?" Raising my eyebrow.

  "The only plan I can think of last minute."

  "I like this plan, I get to shoot the gun." Drax commented. Wow, that's the best they can come up with?

  "Well, I guess we don't have a choice." I said as I walk away to find some useful parts for Rocket's gun.

Rocket's POV:

  I went downstairs to work on the gun, as I was working I hear footsteps heading towards me. I look and see Iris with a few parts.

"Thanks." I smiled.

  "No problem." She replied as she put the parts on the table. She stood still for a second, then she turned to face me.

  "Do you remember what happened, back at the bar?" She said nervously.

  "You mean when I almost shot Drax and Gamora?" I chuckled.

  "No." She chuckled back. "Before that. When me and you, kissed." I was shocked that she brought it up.

  "I thought you didn't want to talk about."

   "Well, I thought about it. Sense we are gonna be stuck together for a little longer. I think it's best we get it out the way." She smiled, trying to be positive.

   "There is no point." I said sadly, still working on the gun.

   "What? Why?" She asked

"Take a good look at yourself Iris." I turn to look at her. She looks down at herself, and looks back at me.

"Then take a look at me. What will people think when they see us? What about the others? Your royalty for crying out loud! And I'm just. An experiment." I said looking down.

"Rocket, look at me." I look up and see her kneel down at my level. Then she put her hand on my cheek.

"I don't care what anybody thinks, As long a we are happy. And who cares about our background or if we look completely different." I started at her beautiful eyes once again.

"You know, I have liked you sense I first saw you, I just didn't know how you felt about me." I said softly.

   "I was confused about my feelings at first, but after that kiss in Knowhere. It made me realize how much I like you, Rocket." She confessed.

   "Then why did you say you don't want to talk about it?" I asked

   "Well one, I didn't know how you truly felt cause you we're drunk." She smirked, god I am an idiot for that. "And two, I didn't know once we sell that orb. We we're gonna be on our separate ways."

   "But, out of all the people in the galaxy. Why me?" I asked.

   "Because I couldn't asked anyone that is smart, handsome, and funny. Then the guy standing in front of me, right now." I put my hand on her cheek, And smiled.

   "I am willing to give this a shot, if you want to." She gave me a gorgeous smile, and nodded in response. We both lean closer for a kiss, as our lips we're about to touch. We got interrupted by Drax, we both quickly backed away from each other. Hoping Drax won't notice won't notice what happened.  

"We are almost at the ship, is the gun almost ready?" He asked.

"Yea, give me minute." I answered. Drax nodded and went back up to the cockpit.

"So, you don't want to others to know yet?" Iris asked.

"Yea, but not yet. I just don't think now is a good time." I answered

"Your right. Do you need help finishing that gun?"

"Yea, thanks." We both turned to look at the gun, As we we're putting the finishing touches to the gun. I felt Iris giving me a kiss on the cheek, I blushed and put my hand on where she kissed my cheek.

~Time Skip~

   Once we finally finished the gun, got Drax in position. We hover next to the Ravagers's ship.

   "Ok, ready?" I asked Iris.

   "Ready. Drax shoot the warning shot."  She said to Drax. Once the shot was fired, I quickly turned on the microphone.

"Attention, idiots. The lunatic on top of this
craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. It's a weapon of my own design. If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one! I'm giving you to the count of five. 5, 4, 3.."

"No. wait, hold on! Rocket, it's me, for God sakes! We figured it out! We're fine!" We heard Peter's voice.

"Oh hey, Quill. What's going on?" I asked.

"So much for a rescue." Iris muttered.

And it finally happened! 😃 I'm sorry if the chapter felt short and made you want to cringe, I tried my best 😂 Until next time ✌️
