Changes XXX: Guardians Unite

I have lost count what number this drabble actually is. And hi, it's been a while. A meagre addition to the awesome mix of Guardians of the Galaxy – and another to add to my "Changes" series.

"You're asking us to die!"

Rocket's plaintive words brought Peter up short. He swallowed, overwhelmed by the enormity of what he's asked from these people – wanted criminals, sure, but still people – he'd met barely days ago. After his speech about all of them having lost in life, what right did he have to ask this of them? He turned away, trying to hide his own despondent fear.

And then…

Gamora, willing to die with friends.

Drax, wishing to see his family again.

Groot, because he was.

And Rocket, relenting under their gazes.

From reluctant allies to comrades-in-arms.

They were ready.
