Hey guys! I got home very early, and I don't have any homework or anything I need to immediatly do, so I thought, "Why not post a little early?" So here I am!
So: update on my hand. I went to the doctor today and they took an x-ray. I don't think anything is broken, but he said a small bone might be broken. It is my left pinki knuckle down in my hand, so I'm not sure what they would put on it if it is broken, but I do know that a regular finger splint wouldn't do anything.
I'm very glad to have time to review replies!
secretwhovianpony: Yes. That was pointed out to me, and I have done my best to fix that as I go along. I'm still new at this, so be expexting a few mistakes here and there. I'm try not to go very fast, but I also don't want to end up with a 50 chaapter story. I'm trying to longer in my writing, but it will take some time.
ShiraYukiShadow: Thank you! You have no idea how happy you made me when I read that. I'm already trying to come up with ways to really highlight Vlad, because he WILL be the main antagonist in the end. I will throw other villians in, but he will be the major threat at the end of the story. But he may not always be an antogonist! ;) Also, I wanted to throw some bonding in with the other characters, so I'm sure, knowing Danny and the Guardians, that pranking is bound to happen!
Thanks so much to you who reviewed! I love getting on in the mornings to look for and read new reviews, and look at how many people are actually reading my story! And right now, my story has had over 1,000 visitors! 1,000! Even if they don't all stick around, it makes me so happy to see that large of a number! UGH! You guys have no idea how much it means to me to see that people actually like my story! *squeals*
One last thing: I will only be posting two times a week now. Tuesdays and Thursdays. This keeps my schedule clear, and it gives me time to write, and I am SO behind on writing. I have the next chapter written and that is it! And Tuesday will come up quick, so I need to start typing!
Anyways, we left off when Peter just told Danny that they were alike, and explain in what way they were similar!
"Uh what do you mean by that?" I asked accusingly.
Peter raised his eyebrow, and had a look of curiousness, success, and a hint of a smirk.
"Well, you remember that Drax said that I was like you?" Peter started
I looked at him funny. "I bet you think you are like me, but I have something called a Ghost Sense. And I didn't feel any sight hint of cold. Warm even. So thanks for trying to relate to me, I appreciate it. Really. But you are nothing like me." I finished.
Peter only chuckled. "Your right. I don't have any hint of-" he looked at me for confirmation. "Ectoplasm?-" I nodded. "-in me. But, we are similar in one way; we are both only half human."
(A/N: I got this next bit of information from the TV show I mentioned a few chapters back. I also did some research, and by research, I mean watch a hero's origin video on YouTube, to get this next bit as well. They both say the same thing.)
"My mom was from Ter-, ahem, Earth, but my dad is an alien species called Spartax. Like you, I am half human; so I know what it is like to be different. I mean look at us! We are the biggest mixing pot I've ever seen. Rocket was taken from his home, I believe Earth, and someone did experiments on the poor guy. He was just a regular raccoon until then. Now, well, you've seen him; I was taken from Earth and forced into this life, when Yondu captured me. I ran out from the hospital right after my mom died. That's when he took me and raised me; Groot is the last of his kind, and he is the only one who can bring them back; Gamora saw her parents murdered in front of her, and then Thanos took her and raised her, turning her into a perfect weapon, and then giving her to Ronan; and Drax had a good life until Ronan came and killed his wife and daughter in front of him, and forever swore revenge. We know everything about being different. Trust me." Peter finished, I'm sure feeling like he accomplished something.
I didn't know how to respond to that. How do you respond to that? I was shocked. These guys have had some seriously messed up lives. But I've had a pretty messed up life too. My childhood and sense of safety were taken away from me when I was only 14. That is so not fair to me. I was forced into this. Although, I would never change my life if back if I ever had the chance again, that was a big mistake, but I do wish I could live a normal life, just like it was before the accident, for one day, I would totally take that opportunity. It would be nice.
But I have to be realistic. I don't know how the Earth managed to survive without me before, but now it can't go too long without me. It needs me more than it ever did before. I had taken a big risk leaving like I did to come with them, but it was necessary. I needed to make sure Vlad didn't become the ruler of the galaxy. That would be FAR worse than anything that could happen while I'm gone. I just hope nothing does.
"… anything at all, I'm sure one of us can relate to you and can help you." Peter said. Wait. He had been talking? I was so lost in thought I didn't even hear a word he said.
He looked at me with an amused look on his face. "You didn't hear a single word I said did you?"
I smiled sheepishly.
"Well, it is time to get ready for today. I was just about to go check on Yondu. Wanna come with?" Peter asked.
I was beginning to wonder about him. "Sure."
As we opened the door, I saw all of the Guardians, minus Vlad, standing on the other side of the door.
"Well it took you long enough, Quill. You ok kid?" Rocket asked.
I just stared at him; all of them. I knew about how they became who they are, and I was surprised at how they managed to turn out like they did. It was impressive. That's when I realized they were waiting on my answer.
"Oh yeah. It wasn't anything serious. Just a nightmare." I said reassuringly. Gamora didn't looked convinced.
"Well, that must've been some nightmare. Are you sure you are ok? Your screams were pretty terrifying." She said. Wow. If SHE thought something was terrifying, then that was a big deal.
"Yeah I'm sure. My line of work can be pretty taxing." That was all I was willing to say. She seemed satisfied. Just then my Ghost Sense went off. I looked around, now ready and alert. I had no idea how a ghost could've followed me all the way out here, but I was ready and waiting for them. I even lit my hands with two balls of ecto-energy.
"Was that the infamous 'Ghost Sense'?" Peter asked, very concerned. He drew his weapon, and the others did as well, while looking confused on the "Ghost Sense" comment.
"Yep. And that wasn't Vlad. I already knew he was here. It's someone else." I closed my eyes, and focused, trying to find the ghost. I finally did, and it wasn't alone, it had something else with him that wasn't another ghost, and they were leaving the ship.
My eyes flew open as I yelled, "Yondu."
I immediately went intangible and flew off of the ship, only to see the mothership of the Ravagers and Skulker carrying Yondu intangibly towards the ship. They didn't see me, so I followed then invisibly and intangibly onto the Ravager ship. I watched as Skulker set Yondu down.
"There. I delivered you from the ship. Now where is my payment?!" Skulker demanded.
"All in good time. Now then. How about we discus how you know that Phantom boy?" Yondu said dismissively.
"Now you listen here. His pelt is mine-" ew. "-so if you even think you can harm him, you are painfully wrong. Only certain people I allow to hunt him, and you are not one of them. So don't even think about laying a finger on the Ghost Boy's head, or I will mount yours next to his after I defeat him." Skulker threatened.
Wow. I thought. He's protecting me from Yondu so he can hunt me. I don't know whether I should be grateful or worried.
"I hear you loud and clear sir. But I'm afraid that I have already promised revenge on him, so I WILL attack him whenever I see fit. But I'll make you a deal. You help me get my revenge, and I'll let you finish him off and take his 'pelt.' Do we have a deal?" Yondu said.
Oh man I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting worried. What if Skulker takes the offer?
Sorry I'm just trying to build suspence. I already know what will happen, but I still like to pretend like I don't.
I think that this will be a dangerous pairing for Danny and the Guardians. But there are still questions to be answered! Where is Vlad? Will Danny and Peter tell the others about Vlad anytime soon? Will they tell Vlad that they know? Who contacted Skulker? What was the original payment that was promised to him? Is it better than what he is being offered now?
Well, hopefully I will get a few chapters written over the weekend. We'll see. It will also depented on what the doctor finds.
See y'all Tuesday! (hopefully!)
