Moon Dragon - [Marvel]

03| Escape

When night came everyone was asleep except for a select few that hoped to kill Gamora. She watched from the top and waited for something to happen. They stood near her throat when a man named Drax came in to attack her. She held her own against them and she waited there looking over the railing.

"I'm no follower of Ronan. I'm your only Hope at stopping him." She told him as he put his hand against his neck. All the sudden Peter came in to try and stop him. Heather let out a soft laugh as she watched. What was he going to do against a man literally named "The Destroyer." He tried to plead a case but it was getting to boring for Heather.

She focused as she came down from where she was using her powers to float down gently. She put her hand out and made Drax's body paralyze as she held him in place.

"This is getting boring." She spoke as she got to the floor. "You Drax the Destroyer right?" He nodded. "You want to get out of here and kill Ronan, correct? None of us like Ronan. None of us currently work for Ronan and if you kill her it's like your doing it for Ronan. You don't want to help him do you?" She spoke as she flicked her fingers lightly at Drax as he touched the ground again. "So we agree don't we?" He nodded and he moved his arms after she released him. She took a breath to gather her strength again after using her powers and Drax picked up the knife that fell from his hands. He looked at Gamora and then back to me.

"I'm keeping this." He spoke before walking out.

"You can thank me later." Heather crossed her arms looking at Gamora who caught her breath.

"I had it under control." Quill spoke as Heather turned to him.

"I got bored." She replied before walking out. It was only half true. She truly did want to make sure Gamora lived. It just so happened she could be cool while she did it so why not.

"You didn't have to save me." Gamora spoke as she followed Heather. Peter and Rocket weren't far behind.

Heather laughed. "And the difference between us being I can do things out of kindness. You can't." She answered.

"You didn't do this out of kindness. Your trying to prove your better than me. I get enough of it from Nebula I don't need it from you too." She spat.

"Nebula? I remember her. Never fought her though. I bet she hates being number two." Heather thought. "And believe what you want I know why I did it and that's all that matters." She spoke as Gamora pushed her against the side of a cell.

"I don't have time for your tricks." She spat. "I have better things to worry about then you and your petty fighting."

Heather looked at her and flipped her to the ground before looking over her. "You have trust issues Gamora. I'm not trying to fight. I'm trying to stop your father, just like you." She spoke with her hand over her neck. Gamora looked up at her and Heather let go before putting her hand out. Gamora took it and stood up. "So truce?" She asked.

Gamora shook her hand and the two looked at Quill and Rocket who had watched the whole thing confused.

"You know Gamora and I are technically related. I guess you could say I'm her aunt in a way." Heather smiled as she went to put her arm around Gamora but Gamora swiped at her hand hitting it before she could. "Anyway on with that escape plan."

"Escape plan?" Gamora asked.

"You said you had someone who was going to buy the orb?" Peter asked her.

"Yeah." She spoke.

"How much?" He asked.

She hesitated to answer. "4 billion units." She said as they were all taken aback.
