Hello everyone! So I recently watched Guardians of the Galaxy the other day and it was AMAZING! Decided to write a fanfic based on it due to the fact that I LOVE the storyline. I am playing with the idea I have for this story, and I only hope you guys will enjoy it. If it turns out to be a good hit, I am going to proceed to continue and finish all the way till the end. I apologize for any disliking on the mixups or altercations I have done to fit my OC in the story. I will say this now: Yes, my OC's abilities is based on Avatar: The Last Airbender bending abilities, but it does NOT include any cross-overs. So without further a do, I present the first chapter to my story. Her name will be revealed in the next chapter. I hope you guys like it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave a review to let me know how you like it and if I should continue with it or not... Thanks! :)

I do not own anything except my OC.

Today has to be the day. After a month being locked up in the Kyln prison on the planet Xander, she grew tired of the maximum security plus the extra prison guards they keep on her twenty four seven. She heard the guards murmuring among themselves about the new maximum security section they built on the otherside of the prison solely for her and her "abilities", and today is the day they will be transferring her. She could see how the guards looked among each other and she can sense the fear they share. She couldn't blame them after the guard she killed a couple weeks ago, and she didn't feel guilt whatsoever. He come in and beat her for his own enjoyment. It was when he started to insult her people, her anger and pain fired back and she was able bend the electrical charge on his taser and use it as a weapon for his death.

"Inmate, on your feet." The guard ordered as he stepped up to the door of her cell. She followed his order and shifted to her knees to her feet with her arms bound behind her.

"Sir, there is a problem." Another guard came into view behind the first one. "There is a new inmate that is, well, a tree humanoid… Do you think she—"

"Order him into his cell." The first guard whispered back. "Have the inmates make a wide path while we transfer her. I want all the guards stationed on her." His gaze stayed on her the entire time he walked up to her cell, and she returned it, studying him. A small smirk grew on the corner of his mouth, "If you make a move, we will kill you."

"Oh, I hardly believe that." She responded with a smirk matching his. The guard's smirk disappeared and anger replaced its place.

"Believe what you want, girl." His voice quivered with his anger. "But it will be me shooting you down in the end." He warned as that ugly smirk came back upon his lips. He nodded to the side of him as the loud beeping started as her cell door slide open slowly. At least fifteen guards came into view behind the first guard, all armed to the teeth with heavy weaponry and all of them trained on her. The first guard's arms held a heavy chain along with a cloth bag. As he walked in, all the armed guards followed close behind him, all their fingers rested on their triggers, ready to fire. The chains snapped on her ankles and the cloth bag was placed aggressively upon her head.

All the guards were now barely visible through the bag and the guard ordered again, "Start walking." She followed the order and the chains clanged as she began taking small steps and the sound of the guards' footsteps and armor was close behind her. It felt like forever until a bright light shown through the bag and the whispers and murmuring among the inmates starting echoing in the cafeteria. This is it. She thought. Suddenly, an alarm sounded and the bright light disappeared. She desperately wanted to find the source of the alarm, because it wasn't her, not yet at least. She was grateful the guards didn't get too alarmed or else she would already been shot. "INMATE, DROP IT AND RETURN TO YOUR CELL!" A guard screamed over the volume of all the starting panics. The humming of the armed bots flying in echoed in the room and she seen a tree humanoid in their spotlight, along with a glowing item in his hand.

"I AM GROOOOOOOT!" His battle cry reverberated through the entire room and suddenly gunfire started.

"Take her back, take her back!" A guard's panicked voice ordered behind her. Now is her chance. A hand grabbed his arm and she made her move. She spun around out of the hand's grip and she dropkicked toward the shadow in front of her. As she hit the floor, the bag over her head slipped off and her vision became clear. The guards that were behind her diminished to about five guards whose faces shown panic. She spun her legs around on the ground and bended a force of air that sent them all flying back into the locked metal door. She bended a slab of concrete up and smashed it down on her chains enough to cause them to break. She allowed her wrists and hands to stretch out from being bounded for several weeks. Finally…

Her relief washed away when suddenly another alarm blared, "INMATE B IS FREE! I REPEAT: INMATE B IS FREE! ARREST HER IMMEDIATELY BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY! DELTA TEAM ON HER, BETA TEAM ON ESCAPERS!" She took off into sprint, studying her environment for the other escapers. They are probably the best chance of her way out of her. Suddenly, her eyes set on the tree humanoid and a raccoon being were climbing up to the guard tower, and a woman with green skin was behind them.

She quickly bended the air beneath her to send her flying up to the second banister, but after she landed, she spotted a Terran inmate not far in front of her running toward the guard tower with a prosthetic leg in his hands. She couldn't help but to quirk her eyebrow at the sight. Suddenly, he froze as a guard came around the corner with a gun. "Put down the leg and get on—" She bended a force of air that knocked him off the side of the railing. The inmate with the leg quickly spun around at her and when he met her gaze, he shown a confused look on his face.

"I need to escape." She quickly said, "If you have a plan, I can help." She knew he was in on with the tree humanoid, the raccoon, and the green girl to escape and so far, they have been successful. It would raise her chances of escaping if she would be able to join the team and at this point, she is willing to try anything.

With one last second inspection, the inmate turned heel, "C'mon." He approved as he started into a jog back toward the tower. Relief came to her and she followed him toward the guard tower. She glanced up to see a tall tree-like stalk stretched up to the railing of the tower and a face at the top of the stalk watching her. Amazing… She thought as she noticed the humanoid's face smiled slightly at her. The Terran with the leg begun climbing the tree's stalk and she followed close behind him. Even though she could easily bend herself up there with air, she decided to stay close and watch his six. A bot suddenly appeared beside them and loaded its guns, preparing to fire, but before she could bend at it, a pair of massive arms swooped up, caught it, and landed on the ground while it ripped the bot apart.

A man with grey skin and red markings all over his body glanced back up at us, "You!" He yelled, "Man that has slept with an Askavarian!" That was another moment to quirk an eyebrow at and she glanced back up at the Terran above her.

He started to climb again as he let out a small sigh, "C'mon, man. It was one time."

She couldn't help but to smile at the humor that just happened in front of her. "Ew." She mumbled as she tried to forget the ugly picture that just popped into her head.

"I know!" The inmate sighed again as he reached the top. When she reached the top, the inmate with red markings appeared behind her and they walked into the guard tower's control room.

The raccoon was quickly tapping buttons on the control panel, and the green skinned woman turned around to meet the glare of the man with red markings. "Spare me your foul gaze, woman!" He yelled at her with anger.

She returned with an exasperated look toward the inmate with the leg, "What's this one doing here?" She asked with an unhappy tone.

The Terran watched the raccoon hacking away, "I promised him that he can stay by your side till your boss gets here, and I keep my promises." He explained.

The girl's gaze lingered to her. "What about her?"

They all turned to her and studied her closely and she couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable under all their gazes. "She helped me out." The Terran explained as he turned back around as the raccoon did, "I owe her one."

The red marked inmate spoke up as his glare stayed on her, "This one was the inmate they were transferring to a higher maximum security. How do we know she is worthy of trust?" He questioned.

"NUMBER ONE, FIRE!" An explosion hit one side of the glass of the watch tower, causing a crack to spread across the glass.

"I hope you have a plan, Rocket!" The Terran exclaimed as he heard the guard sound off for the second shot. She knew this was her chance to prove to them she can be trusted, she pushed in front of everyone to get a clear view of the guards on the ground with the rocket launchers.

"What are you—"

She waited for the fire of the weapon and as it came to life to propel the rocket at them, she rose her hand and clenched it into a fist as she bended the fire to erupt, exploding the rocket within the barrel of the launcher and causing the whole group of guards to be engulfed in a fiery explosion.

There was nothing but silence and she could feel the shocked looks directed at her. She turned heel at held her gaze at the red marked inmate. "Am I worthy of trust now?" She questioned and walked back into the corner of the control room, "More guards will be coming, lets go." She mentioned as the group seemed to take forever recovering from their shock.

"Right…" The Terran murmured as he turned back to the control panel.

The raccoon whom she found out is named Rocket did the same, "Hey, Quill. Can we keep her?" He asked as he continued typing away at the control panel.

"I am Groot." The tree humanoid's voice rumbled from beside her. She met his gaze and seen admiration and innocence in his eyes with a soft smile on his lips. She sent a small smile back at him.

"See, Groot likes her too." Rocket said.
