When Samantha a mutant and X-man is rescued from her captors by S.H.I.E.L.D she finds comfort from an unlikely source. This story follows the relationship between my OC Samantha Howlett and everyone's favorite Jotun Loki Odinson. This is an AU where...
As we travel to our next job I'm jamming out to New York Groove quietly singing along with the lyrics when suddenly the song cuts off. 'Who did that?!'

"Turn that back on!!"
I hear Drax respond.
"No!"
I go to the back of the ship to where my Zune is supposed to be plugged into the sound system to talk to Drax. Drax is holding my Zune.
"Dude turn it back on."
"I can't keep listening to the same songs again and again and again!!"
"Sorry man these are the only songs I got. Now let me get back in the groove! Specifically the New York Groove! Gimme my Zune."
"No."
He turns away.
"Gimme the Zune!"
I reach for it and he pulls it away and starts walking away towards the table near the front of the ship.
"No! The man who sings this is a degenerate!"
"I WILL NOT SIT HERE AND ALLOW YOU TO MALIGN ACE FREHLEY!! Gimme the Zune!"
I start chasing him around the table.
"I'm going to kill you!!"
Gamora rolls her eyes at us.

"I would kill either of you if it would give me some peace and quiet."
Mantis looks entranced with the blinking yellow light of our inbox.
"What is this wonderful blinking yellow light?"
I respond.
"A blinking yellow light indicates a secret coded message."
I go over to the machine and look at the message decoding it in my head. It's a familiar code thanks to my years decoding things while living with the Ravagers. Rocket huffs in annoyance. I get it, since Galactus started moving his way through our galaxy it's just seemed to be one bad thing after another.
"What is it? Galactus isn't eating another planet in our galaxy is he?"
"No it's actually good news the Nova Corps says he's moving out of the Andromeda galaxy."
The light blinks again as another message comes through. Nebula picks it up and reads it to herself actually looking a little concerned.
"He's on course for the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy it'll take him months to get there but once he's there..."
Rocket sighs knowing that's where Terra is.
"We just can't catch a break can we?"
The Milky Way is a very sparsely populated galaxy even more so in the Orion arm if Galactus is heading in that direction his herald can't miss Terra and my home planet will likely end up on the menu. I hate Terra because that's where my mom died but I don't want it and every Terran destroyed.
I am half Terran after all. I know there's nothing we can do to stop it from happening though, nothing short of a weapon like the legendary Cosmic Cube or Ultimate Nullifier could stop Galactus. He's a force of nature. Terra is as good as dead. It's not like we can warn them either they don't have the right technology for us to send them a message.
We can't warn them without making the trek ourselves we would be too slow too because there aren't many charted jump points leading to the Orion arm of the Milky Way let alone Terra's solar system. It's a wonder Yondu even went through the trouble to go get me all the way out there. Terra was bumfuck Egypt. Drax hands me back my Zune and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry Quill."
Groot nods in agreement.
"𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵."
"I'll be alright bud."
I reassure him. Groot's hit a growth spurt and is well over four feet taller than I am but he's still a kid, a teenager, and gets upset about things easily. I resume playing my music now using my headphones. I go off to be alone for a while to mourn the loss of my home planet. I despised it yet it's what made me and it gave me the music I find comfort in now.
