Summary: Rocket and Gamora continue their talk

Chapter Text

Gamora walked up and began to knock on Rocket's door before saying," Holding you to your word, Rocket."

After a few minutes the door opened and Rocket replied," Fine let us get this over with."

Gamora entered the room and noticed the boxes were all empty before saying," So who else did not pay you the amount that was agreed on.'

Rocket answered," When your as small as I am, a lot of individuals think they can walk all over you. They learn real quick, No. One. Walks, Over. Rocket."

Gamora nodded before asking," How were you able to make it to and from the salvage yard with out help."

Rocket turned and glared before answering," On this world, the only ones that are willing to approach you. Want whatever you have and will take it by any means necessary."

Gamora nodded before replying," So how were you injuried?"

Rocket answered," I forgot that sometime they like to work as teams or groups."

Gamora asked," How many was in the group?"

Rocket answered," There was five in that group."

Gamora was sure of the answer to the next question before she asked it, " How many did you leave alive/"

Rocket answered," None. They were all lying face down bleeding out."

Gamora said, " So we have five bodies to get rid of."

Rocket shook his head before replying, " YOu don't have to worry the carrions will take care of the bodies."

Gamora raised and eyebrow before asking, 'The Carrions?"

Rocket answered," On this world, they very much believe in cannibalism and will not hesitate to roast a dead body over flames. They will strip the body of everything salvageable and than have a huge meal on the carcasses."
"Which is why Nova Corp does not clean up the area. The innocent individual would get hurt, while Nova Corp would be unable to stop some of the crimes, they never stopped the cannibalism."

Gamora decided it was best to get it over with before asking," What would it cost for you to start acting like a member of the team, realistically?"

Rocket thought for a moment before answering," It will take me no more than ten days to keep my agreement. When I come back, I will pretend like nothing happened after I gather everyone to show them the translator and start calling Mister Quill, Peter Quill."

Gamora replied," And you have to take the units that you earn between that time and now."

Rocket said," We can discuss that when I get back, right now, I am going to bed." Before opening and walking to his apartment and going inside.

Gamora knew that Rocket would be able to be persuaded to do the right thing before leaving Rocket's room and heading to the common room to wait for rocket to come out.
