…

From the black screen, a woman was sobbing: "We'll be safe."

The screen showed a small girl with green skin being held tightly in the arms of another green woman. They were watching through the holes of a door as people were running around, screaming. They heard sounds of guns firing.

"Isn't that the green woman… what was her name… Gomora! Gomara?" Scott tried to think of her name.

"Gamora," Clint, Bucky, and Natasha said at the same time.

"Yeah! Her," Scott snapped his fingers.

The screen zoomed out, showing the woman's face. They were huddled in what appears to be a small storage building. A large boom shook the building and the girl screamed, which was quickly covered by her mother's hand.

"They're dead," Natasha deadpanned.

Peter paled and clung to Tony.

Something trudged towards the door.

"Oh no."

The alien busted it open and the two green skinned aliens screamed.

The scene changed to show the Levivan shooting beams at the poor planet. Dust was everywhere and the Zen-Whoberis (which is apparently what Gamora's species are called) were falling all over the place. Aliens were shooting them down. Very familiar aliens.

"Chitauri," Clint growled.

Tony shuddered, remembering when he had to fly through the portal.

Some Zen-Whoberis were being dragged somewhere by Chitari, the young girl being one of them. "MOTHER!" she screamed as she struggled to get out.

"She survived at least," Sam sighed in relief.

"Of course she did, she was one of the 'Guardians' or whatever isn't she?" Bucky said.

In the background, the very familiar speech of Maw rang out. "Choose a side or die!"

Everyone scowled at the voice.

The Chitauri holding Gamora let go of her wrist to chase another. She looked up as a shadow fell over her. Thanos, in his battle armor, looked down at her.

"What's wrong little one?" he asked.

"HOLD IT!" Peter yelled. "I thought Thanos was her dad?"

"Most likely kidnapped," Natasha felt sympathy for the alien woman. After all, she was kidnapped at a young age as well.

"My mother," she demanded. "Where is my mother!?"

"She's fearless," Natasha nodded approvingly. "I can see why Thanos took her."

Thanos crouched down. "What's your name little one?"

"Gamora," she replied.

"You're quite the fighter Gamora," Thanos smiled slightly. "Come." He held out a hand. "Let me help you."

"DON'T DO IT KID!" Scott yelled at the screen.

"HE KILLED YOUR MOTHER!" Clint screamed.

Gamora reached out a tiny hand to wrap around Thano's giant finger.

He stood up and led her to a building while the Chitauri finished rounding up all the Zen-Whoberis.

He got on his knee and held out something. "Look."

He pressed something and blades shot out on either side. "Pretty isn't it?" He balanced the blade on his finger. "Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. Tilt too much to one side, or the other…" the knife fell.

"Here, try," he handed the knife to Gamora.

Behind the two, Maw's speech continued: "Now go in peace, and meet your maker."

Everyone sucked in their breath, knowing what was going to happen.

Behind them, the Chitauri shot down half of the people they rounded up and screams filled the air.

Peter tore his eyes from the scene and buried his face in Tony's chest. Everyone else was horrified, unable to look away. They didn't see what happen to Thor's people, and they couldn't quite see what was happening, but it was still brutal.

"He's even worse than Ultron," Steve said.

Gamora turned back to look, but Thanos turned her head back to what was in her hands, tutting.

"Concentrate," he said, unfazed by the massacre behind him.

"Look at that son of a bitch. Not disturbed at all," Bucky said in disgust.

Tony glared at the back of the former Winter Soldier's head, thinking about the death of his parents.

Gamora balanced the blade on her tiny finger, ignoring the screams of her people.

"There, you've got it," Thanos said.

The screams stopped, and the camera panned out to show bodies littering one side of the city while the Chitauri were still cornering the other half.

Wanda gagged, Vision quickly grabbing an empty popcorn bowl just in case. Peter was breaking down again, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The scene changed to present day, where Gamora had taken out the knife Thanos had given her, and was staring into space(literally). Quill called out her name.

"So this is the little girl," Vision said, nodding.

He came up beside her and asked, "Do you know if these grenades are the 'blow-off-your-junk' kind? Or the gas kind, 'cause I was kinda thinking…(I literally have no idea what he said no matter how many times I rewatched it, but I think it's something about his weight.)"

"I need to ask a favor," she cuts across him.

"Yeah, sure."

After a moment, she said, "One way or another, the path that we're on leads to Thanos." She stood up.

"Which is what the grenades are for," Quill said.

Everyone sighed at Quill's attempt to lighten the mood.

Gamora turned to give him a look. "Right, sorry. What's the favor?" Quill asked.

"If things go wrong… if Thanos gets me… I want you to promise me… you'll kill me," she said.

"What?" Sam asked.

"What… why… what?" Steve sputtered.

"Suicide?" Clint suggested.

"No way, she's too much of a fighter to back down," Natasha argued.

"What?!" Quill said, disbelieving.

Gamora looked away. "I know something he doesn't." She walked to the other side of the ship. "And if he finds out, the entire universe could be at risk."

"What do you know?" Quill asked.

"The location of the soul stone," Clint said.

"Do you think she'll go find it?" Peter asked curiously.

"If she does Thanos might get his big grubby hands on it," Tony replied.

"If I tell you, you'd know too," she replied.

Quill walked over to her. "If it's so important, shouldn't I?"

"Only if you want to die," she said, her voice almost a whisper.

"Why does somebody always have to die in this scenario," Quill asks.

"Good point. Why does someone always have to die?" Scott asked.

"Because superheroes," Peter said.

"Do you think he's actually going to kill her?" Vision asked, slightly horrified.

"I hope not," Wanda said miserably.

"Just," Gamora pauses, swallowing, "Trust me, and possibly kill me."

"I mean, I'd like to. I really would, but-" Gamora cut him off and covered his mouth and sighing.

"Swear to me," Gamora looked him straight in the eyes. "Swear to me on your mother." She brought her hand away.

Everyone assumed the mother was dead. Which obviously, she is.

After a few moments, he spoke. "Ok. Ok."

The two shared a kiss…

"YES!" Shuri cheered. "I knew it!"

… but broke apart as a crunch came from nearby.

Drax was standing there, watching them while eating something.

"Ughh… really? Why are all the romantic scenes being interrupted?!" Shuri whined in annoyance. (Shuri is Starmora's biggest shipper and no one can convince me otherwise. I feel like she'd be Wakanda's best matchmaker.)

"At least I know it's not just me," Tony shrugged.

Gamora rolled her eyes and Quill said, "Dude? How long have you been standing there?"

"An hour," he said.

"An hour?!" Steve said in shock.

"An hour?!" Quill exclaimed.

"Are you serious?" Gamora groaned.

"I have mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still, I become invisible to the eye. Watch," Drax in fact did not become invisible, and put another nut in his mouth.

Everyone laughed appreciatively, glad there was something funny to laugh about after that horrifying flashback.

"You're eating a Zarg nut," Quill said.

"But my movement, is so slow, that it's imperceptible," another crunch. "I'm sure I'm invisib-"

"Hi Drax!" Mantis came in smiling.

Everyone laughed harder.

"That should be a meme!" Shuri cackled. (It is tho- you know what nevermind we live in a different universe.)

Drax crushed the bag of nuts, muttering "Dammit" and walking away.

The scene changed to show a strange thing in space that looked suspiciously like a skull. The Milano flew through the eye. Inside was hollowed out, with indistinct shapes with lights filling it.

"That looks ominous," Clint said.

"Is that skull?" Vision asked. "That can't be a planet or a star."

"It might be like some guy's evil lair," Peter said, wiggling his fingers.

"You watch too much TV kid," Tony rolled his eyes.

(SKIP CAUSE I DON'T WANNA THINK OF REACTIONS FOR THIS SMALL PART.)

The Guardians hid behind a scattered assortment of crates, creeping closer as Thanos and someone else were talking.

Quill stopped and held out a hand to tell them to stop, but they kept going anyway.

"I wonder if they are always like that, or if Thor calling the racoon the captain triggered this," Rhodey said.

"I know you have the reality stone, Taneleer Tivan," Thanos' deep voice rang out. "Giving it to me would spare you a great deal of suffering." He put a foot on the chest of a white haired man lying on the ground. He pressed down and the Collector hissed in pain.

"I told you! I sold it!" he gasped. He put his gloved hands on his chest dramatically. "Why would I lie?"

"Because he looks insane and like a liar? What is with that hair?" Clint said.

"I imagine it's like breathing for you," Thanos said.

"Like suicide?" he grinned madly.

"You don't understand," Thanos smirked. "Not even you would surrender something so precious."

"I didn't know what it was!"

"Then you were a bigger fool than a took you for. It's your last chance Tivan. Where's the stone?" Thanos pressed harder, sounding merely bored.

"Today," Drax breathed, hate in his eyes, "He pays for the death of my wife and daughter."

"Shit, he's gonna attack him," Bucky muttered.

"He's ruining everything!" Shuri said, frustrated.

He drew a short sword as Quill kept whispering for him to stop. Drax stomped forward and Quill hurried to stop him.

"Wait!" Quill hissed. "He doesn't have the stone yet. We get the stone, we can stop him! We get the stone first."

"No," Drax growled. "For Hovat. For Kamaria!" He muscled past Quill…

"NO!" everyone yelled.

… but was luckily stopped by Mantis, who whispered 'sleep!'

"Oh thank the ancestors," T'Challa sank back into his seat, hand over chest.

"Wait…" Clint's eyes widened.

And dropped with a loud clang.

Everyone gasped.

The guardians immediately dropped into a crouch as Thanos turned his head. Thanos studied the area closely before throwing the Collector in a specimen cage.

"Ok, Gamora, Mantis, you go right," Quill panted. Gamora ignored him and went left. "The other right!"

Gamora ran up to Thanos, shouting a war cry. Thanos blocked the attacks from her sword and grabbed it, breaking it.

"She's gonna die," Bucky put his head in his hands.

"Stop being so pessimistic," T'Challa said, but he had a horrible feeling as well.

Gamora wasted no time and used the broken blade to stab his neck. Thanos reeled back from pain. She drew the two sided knife Thanos had given her and stabbed his heart. She drew back and went back into a fighting position.

Thanos staggered back, wincing with pain. He dropped onto his back, clutching the wound in his neck.

There was a few seconds of stunned silence, then cheers and applause.

"Go green alien lady!" Peter cheered, though still a little traumatized by all this death.

"Very nice," T'Challa nodded approvingly.

Natasha however, narrowed her eyes. The death was a little too quick. Thanos might have trained Gamora, but he didn't use the gauntlet at all during the fight like he did with Loki. It unnerved her.

Gamora lowered her weapon and started to cry.

"What's she crying for? She hates the guy!" Scott said, still whooping.

"Why?" Thanos looked at her. "Daughter…"

Gamora started to bawl, dropping to her knees. Thanos slumped on the ground and didn't move.

"That was quick," Quill said, stunned.

"Yup," Rhodey said.

Meanwhile, the Collector started to applaud, yelled "MAGNIFICENT!".

"Is that sadness I sense in you daughter?"

Everyone stopped celebrating at once, lowering their hands.

"But.. he's dead! She killed him!" Tony blanched.

"I knew it! I fucking knew it!" Natasha facepalmed.

It was Thanos voice, but his body wasn't moving. Gamora looked up in disbelief. "In my heart I knew you still cared."

The illusion vanished and returned to its burned down state.

"What happened?" Wanda gasped. "How did he do that?"

Tony started sprouting science theories about holograms and stuff.

"Of course he's not dead, the villain never dies in the beginning of the movie," Peter exclaimed.

"This isn't a movie, kid," Natasha snapped. "This is real life."

"Reality is often disappointing. (Ain't that the truth) That is… was." Thanos appeared. "Now, can be whatever I want."

Everyone gasped. Thanos had another stone, and he could make illusions, and from what Thanos just said, he could alter reality.

"You knew I'd come," Gamora said.

"There is something we need to discuss little one." He grabbed Gamora before she could grab her sword and Drax charged.

"GET HIM!" Rhodey punched the air.

"KNOCK THAT WRINKLY CHIN OFF HIS FACE!" Shuri shouted.

Thanos transformed Drax into rock and Mantis into paper.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Sam shouted.

"How did he do that!?" Peter asked in horror.

"Are they dead?" Scott gaped.

"Mmmm, whatcha say," Shuri sang, and everyone who understood it was a meme glared at her.

"Let her go grimace!" Quill pointed his gun at the big grapefruit.

"PETER!" Gamora yelled.

"His name is Peter too?" Peter asked, perking up.

"Not the time," Tony told him.

"Sorry ," he apologized.

"You let her go!" Quill yelled.

"Ah, the boyfriend," Thanos said.

"I prefer to think of myself as a long-term-Titan-killing-booty-call," he replied.

"Genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist," Tony muttered to himself and smirked slightly.

"You let her go or I blow that nutsack of a chin off your face."

"Not him," Gamora said. "You promised!" After a few moments, he lowered the gun to point at Gamora.

Vision sucked in his breath(does he even breathe?) and Wanda's jaw dropped. He was going to do it.

"You expect to much from him," Thanos smirked.

Thanos taunted him while Quill struggled to find the courage to shoot her. Thanos pushed Gamora closer so she was on the point of the gun.

Everyone growled at the so-called father pushed his own daughter to her death.

"Why is he doing that?" Peter asked.

"He knows the bigger Peter isn't strong enough," Rhodey winced.

"I told you to go right!" he hissed.

"I love you more than anything," Gamora sobbed.

"I love you too," he whispered, and pulled the trigger.

Everyone recoiled and Peter looked away.

Bubbles came out. The gun turned to bubbles.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Sam yelled.

"Of course he was up to something," Natasha groaned.

"I like him," Thanos said, and portaled away.

Mantis and Drax reformed and Quill grabbed Gamora's sword, staring at it in shock.

…

So not my best work, but hey!
