Galaxies Best Kept Secret
The Guardians were in the middle of finishing up their latest mission, Drax and Gamora were waiting for the others by the Milano when Groot came bursting through a wall with Rocket on his back firing shots at some Kree soldiers as he screamed, "Take that you blue skinned Flarkbags!" as Groot reached Gamora and Drax, Gamora asked,
"Where's Peter?"
Groot shrugged his shoulders at Gamora as he replied, "I am Groot?" and Rocket looked at Gamora and said,
"Groot says he don't know, Quill said he would be right behind us. So Flark knows where he is now."
Drax then looked at the others as he said, "Perhaps I should go back and search for Quill?" Gamora looked at Drax and shook her head and replied,
"We don't have enough time to go back and look for Peter, we have to go now!"
Suddenly the four of them then heard a voice coming from behind them as they said, "Present and accounted for. Though…I'm probably not the Quill you were hoping to see." Rocket was the first of the group to turn towards the source of the voice and looked to see a short looking girl with long black hair that had blonde ends and brown eyes and slightly tanned skin.
He could also see that she was wearing a grey tank top that had some blood stains on the front with some tanned pants and what looked like some silver jet boots, he then perked a brow at the girl as he asked, "Who the Flark are you? and where's Quill…I meant the other Quill?" The girl looked at the group and frowned slightly and replied,
"I know I'm not who you guys were expecting and trust me I can explain. I…I have a message recording from the person you guys were expecting."
She then pulled out a holo projector from her pocket as she played the recording and a familiar face to the others appeared as the recording said, "Hey, it's Star-Lord here. I'm gonna try and keep this brief, but…in the event that I somehow don't make it, I trust that my sister Maria will take good care of you guys in my place. and I want you all to trust her like you would trust me…sometimes. If this does happen to be the end for me then…it's been a hell of a ride with you guys."
Gamora drew her sword and aimed it at Maria's throat as she screamed, "What did you do with Peter?" Maria raised her hands defensively as she looked at Gamora and replied,
"I know how this looks, but I didn't kill my brother!"
Drax then began walking up the ramp into the ship and he looked back at the others as he said, "We can sort this matter out later, for now we should leave while we still have our lives." Groot also followed Drax onto the ship and replied,
"I am Groot!"
Rocket scampered after Groot as he said, "For once, muscle brain has a point. We need to go now!" Gamora let out a frustrated huff and dragged Maria by her collar onto the ship, before the ship then slowly began taking to the skies after roaring to life. Once they were airborn, Gamora threw Maria onto the sofa in the lounge area.
Drax then sat down opposite Maria and looked at her as he asked, "Why don't you start by telling us your name, not Peter Quill?" Maria let out a nervous breath as she looked back at forth between Drax and Gamora and replied,
"Okay, like the message said, my name is Maria Quill. I'm Peter's sister. Trust me, I did not see my day going like this."
Gamora scowled at Maria, "Yeah? Well that blood on your shirt says otherwise." Maria snapped back at Gamora,
"I hadn't seen my brother for 20 cycles! maybe more! Do you really believe that I would have the Scutbags to kill my own Flarkin' brother?"
Rocket then entered the lounge from the cockpit and stood on the table as he said, "Alright, alright everyone calm down! I know you wouldn't expect to hear me saying that, but I've been listening in and…I've been doing some thinking. And…as much as it hurts me to admit it, but…the kid has a point. I mean think about it, why would Quill leave us a message sayin' his sister was going to be in charge if he knew he wasn't gonna make it?"
Rocket then looked at Maria as he continued, "That being said, there's still a lot we don't know about you. Therefore I say we dump this kid on the nearest planet or space station we come across and be done with it." Maria let out a small sigh as she looked around at everyone and replied,
"Look, I understand that I'm not the Quill that you are used to having around. I get it, but like you guys, I also have a checkered past. and…I would like us all to at least be on the same page, so I'll start by letting you all know that I am at least what the Kree referred to me as…a half breed."
Gamora slowly perked a brow at Maria as she asked, "A half breed? So…that makes you what exactly?" Maria took a deep breath and replied,
"It means that I am half Terran and…the Kree think that I am half…Contraxian."
Rocket then rolled his eyes as he said, "Oh that's just great, now we have to follow orders from Quill's half Humi, half Contraxian sister that he didn't even bother telling us about. I wonder what else he was hiding from us." Gamora then glared at Rocket,
"Rocket! Peter probably didn't tell us he had a sister…likely because he wasn't sure she existed. and if what his sister is saying is true…then it's likely she wasn't sure if Peter was still out there somewhere."
Rocket then looked at Maria as he said, "You smell rich, if you've been with those blue skiined Scutbags then surely you must be carrying a lot of units with you. if you give us a nice sum, maybe we won't dump you on the nearest planet we pass by." Maria glared at Rocket with tears streaming down her face,
"Flark you! I just lost my brother that I hadn't seen for a long time, but all you care about is Flarking money!"
She then stormed off towards one of the rooms on the ship and locked the door behind her, Gamora looked at Rocket as she let out a small sigh as she said, "Way to go Rocket, it's always about getting paid with you isn't it? I'm going to go and see if she will let me talk to her."
Later…
While they were drifting through deep space, Gamora was walking towards where Maria had locked herself in and she saw Groot standing by the door. As Gamora got closer, she could hear crying coming from behind the door and she smiled at Groot as she said, "It's ok Groot, I'll take care of this." Groot nodded his head at Gamora and replied,
"I am Groot."
After Groot left, Gamora took a deep breath before knocking on the door and waited for an answer. She then heard Maria's voice from inside as she said, "If that's you Rocket, go to hell!" Gamora let out a small sigh and replied,
"It's not Rocket, it's…me, Gamora. Could you let me in?"
Maria then opened the door and stared at Gamora with a tear stained face as she asked, "What do you want? I'm guessing you want to ditch me as soon as you can, just like the others do?" Gamora took a deep breath as she shook her head at Maria and replied,
"I just wanna talk, don't worry about the others they'll come around. So…are you gonna let me in sowe can talk girl to girl?"
Maria stood there for a moment staring at Gamora, she could see that she was being genuine so she let out a small sigh and stood to one side as she said, "I…suppose you can come in to talk, Gamora." and Gamora slowly walked inside, after which Maria closed and locked the door behind her.
Gamora smiled slightly at Maria as she said, "You know Maria, out of all the rooms on the Milano you could have locked yourself in, I didn't think your brother's room would have been your first choice." Maria walked over to the bed and sat down as she looked at Gamora and smiled slightly back at her and replied,
"To be honest, when I first came in here and locked the door behind me. I didn't even realize this was my brother's room until I saw the poster on the wall."
Gamora leaned against the wall and let out a small sigh and looked at Maria as she said, "I…wanna apologize for earlier, and…I think you deserve to know that I…was in love with your brother. I shouldn't have assumed you killed Peter just because of the blood stains on your shirt." Maria perked a brow at Gamora and replied,
"It's fine. You know, I didn't think my brother would of had a girlfriend. Let alone someone as infamous as you, no offense."
Gamora walked over to Maria and sat down next to her and smiled slightly as she said, "I'm used to my reputation as the deadliest woman in the galaxy. Your brother was a good person, he even tried to teach me some of your…earth culture." Maria giggled a little before she then blushed as she realized how close they were to each other before she replied,
"I…uh I'm not as big into pop culture like my brother was so I don't think you have to worry about me trying to teach you any earth stuff. and I'm not the prettiest girl in the galaxy, but…I try my best with what I've got."
Gamora smiled at Maria as she said, "I would disagree, as I think you are quite the looker. How did you end up with the Kree anyway?" Maria blushed a little more at Gamora and replied,
"Umm thanks, I guess. It's a long story, you see I was in Yondu's care not long after my brother left the Ravagers. When Yondu got boarded by a Kree patrol party, he handed me over to the Kree in exchange for his freedom and he promised me he would come back for me and bust me out, but…a few cycles went by and I never saw Yondu again."
Gamora put her arm around Maria to try and comfort her and let out a small sigh as she said, "That sounds like Yondu, always scheming and making false promises. Can't imagine it being any better being with the Kree either." Maria rested her head on Gamora's shoulder and let out a small sigh and replied,
"Nope, I'd argue it was worse being with the Kree than it was with Yondu and the Ravagers. I was forced into doing shady jobs for them otherwise they would've killed me. and trust me, I've done some real nasty scut. I doubt I can even love because of the scut I've been through."
Gamora then held Maria tighter in a hug as she said, "I used to be in that same boat once, I'm sure that there is someone out there for you, Maria. you just have to look in the right places." Maria then heard a knock on the door and Drax said,
"If the Assassin has finished scheming with you, Peter's sister. I suggested to the rodent that we head to knowhere so that we may lay low for a while and enjoy ourselves." Maria was about to respond when Gamora answered for her,
"I wasn't scheming Drax, I was comforting Maria. But Knowhere is a good idea to lay low for a while and maybe we can find a job there too."
Knowhere…
As the group were arriving on Knowhere, Rocket got out of his seat and smiled as he said, Well…maybe the kid ain't too bad, she can fly better than her brother at least. But I still say we dump the kid here and I don't give a Flark if it was Quill's wish or whatever." Drax was the next to get out of his seat and said,
"I disagree with the rodent, if it was Peter's dying wish to have his sister accompany us then I believe we should honour his wish. After all, she has proven herself to be a capable pilot thus far but her combat skills are yet to be tested."
Gamora then got up from her seat as she said, "I agree with Drax, Peter wouldn't have left us with his sister if he didn't think she would be capable of holding her own." Groot was the second to last person to get up from his seat as he smiled at Maria and said,
"I am Groot."
Rocket then looked back at Groot as he said, "Fine! We won't leave the kid here, but I'm telling ya, if she stabs us in the back I'm dumping her on the first station we pass by. You all may trust her at the moment, but I don't. She has a LOT to prove if she wants to be in my good books." Gamora then scowled at Rocket,
"Maybe you could start by apologizing to Maria, after all we wouldn't of been hiding from the Kree in the first place if you didn't decide you were gonna rob them!"
Maria then got up from her seat and looked at everyone as she said, "Guys! I get it, I have a lot to prove to you guys for you to trust me. I didn't expect to be looking after all of you either, but…like it or not here I am, and I'm gonna do the best I can as your new leader since it was my brother's dying wish. And I would appreciate it if you all could just be a little patient with me."
Rocket then started walking towards the back door as he said, "Flark this! I'm outta here, don't bother lookin' for me either." Groot followed after Rocket, while Drax also began walking towards the back door and said,
"I too have my own business to take care off, do not find me unless it is for assisstance for a job."
Maria looked at Gamora as she said in a defeated tone, "I'm surprised you didn't want to leave me like the others have already." Gamora smiled at Maria and replied,
"You know how boys can be, stubborn to change and what not. Trust me, they'll come around. I think they just need some time to process the fact that Peter is gone. Besides, it gives us a little girl time."
Maria smiled slightly back at Gamora as she said, "I guess we could go to the nearest bar for a while, until the others come back. IF they even come back at all." Gamora wrapped an arm around Maria's shoulder as she smiled and replied,
"Trust me, they'll come back. We do have their only means of leaving after all, now quit standing there and go and get changed already."
Before Gamora then gently pushed Maria towards her room which made Maria stumble a little but smile at her before entering her room to get changed. After a few minutes of waiting, Maria finally walked out of her room wearing a short sparkly red dress and she had her hair tied in a over the shoulder plait. Gamora blushed a little at Maria as she said, "Damn, you look good. That dress of yours really shows off your curves." Maria blushed a little back at Gamora and replied,
"What, this old thing? I've had this since I was 19. I'm surprised it even still fits me."
Gamora tried to avert her eyes from Maria as she said while also trying to hide a smile, "You're bound to catch someone's attention in that dress, Let's get going." before she then quickly walked towards the back door and Maria followed after her.
