The Guardians and Anthea were slowly making their way towards the Collector's Vault. Anthea looked around at the place and she sighed quietly "I remember when I was here.. It was mostly dark, but the people made it lively here.. I should have came here first when I left The Asguardians. Maybe I would have been able to stop Thanos"

"Or had been killed first, if I know Thanos.. It's been his mission to track down and find those stones and killed the Three.." Gamora said and Sylvia looked back at Anthea "It's better that we're with you right now.. But if we encounter Thanos.." She whispered and she stopped, the others stopped but she shook her head "My main mission will to protect Gamora as long as I could, I need to make sure either she's safe or.." She stopped herself. Anthea grabbed her hand and nodded

"I know your mission your whole life was to find and protect me until I reunite with my family.. But I'm glad you found your own family within the Guardians.. With Gamora most of all. I couldn't be happier for you" She whispered and went to kiss her cousin on the cheek. Sylvia looked back at her with tears in her eyes

"And I love you for that.. For giving me a chance to have a family" Sylvia said. Anthea smiled and the Guardians went on walking. Anthea heard Drax's voice of "What are you going to do with that girlfriend that lived in Xander?"

"She wasn't a girlfriend.. I was more of a long-term bootycall to her" Peter said but Anthea knew when Peter was lying and it was one of those moments.. Anthea cleared her throat and she looked at Peter "So you had someone?"

"Yeah.. I met her on Xander almost four years ago.. I left and never came back, So the relationship is pretty much done" Peter spoke. Anthea nodded "I was in a relationship with someone as well then since we're talking about that" She said and Peter stopped dead.

"You were in a relationship with someone?!" Peter almost shouted but Mantis quickly covered his mouth "Hush! He may hear us" She said. Peter shook his head, causing Mantis to let go and Peter went closer to Anthea "What do you mean you were with someone? Who was he? What was he?" Peter said quickly and Anthea raised an eyebrow

"His name was Loki. He was from Asgard as well, Thor's brother" She said and Peter groaned and shook his head "Oh no.. No. You couldn't have! Out of all the people you dated, you had to date his brother?" Peter said. A sense of jealousy overcoming him as he was frowning at Anthea.. Why would she date anyone else?

"Well I didn't date him because he was Thor's brother." Anthea pointed out and she almost scowled at him, if Peter didn't have any memories of her.. Why was he jealous as if he did remember?

"Because... He must be old! It wouldn't have worked out anyway" Peter said but it was a weak response. Anthea sighed softly "It didn't work out anyways if that's what you're saying.. My heart wasn't in the right place and he deserved to find someone that would give him everything.. I couldn't do that"

"Good.. I mean, I'm sorry the relationship didn't work out" Peter said. Anthea looked up at the dark sky "He's dead.. When I went to the Asgardian ship.. I saw his body there. Took it there and buried it at a nearby planet"

"I'm sorry.." Peter spoke and he stopped, Anthea stopping as well. Peter looked down "I don't even know if she's alive or dead.. I didn't say goodbye to her either. I feel like a huge jerk right now" He spoke and Anthea grabbed his hands

"What matters is that you were able to cherish the time you had with her.. Even if it didn't work out in the end" She said, feeling a sour taste in her mouth.. It actually hurt to find out that Peter had moved on and found another girl.. Someone that was actually normal.

"It doesn't even feel like I'll be able to settle down.. I always thought that maybe one day I would be married with a child or two.. Have some sort of stability in life" Peter said looking at Sylvia and Gamora "I get jealous of those two.. they have that stability" He muttered. Anthea looked over and saw the two women walking carefully ahead with their hands intertwined. Anthea felt tears in her eyes when it finally hit her hard.

If Anthea was the one in that pod, Peter would have had that stability he dreamed of.

Peter noticed the tears in her eyes and he started to wipe her eyes softly "Hey.. What's wrong?" He asked softly. Anthea looked up and saw the concerned look on his face and she shook her head "It's just.. I wish I had that too"

The Guardians were walking into the vault and heard mumbling ahead. Peter lowered himself a bit and raised a fist up, signaling for the team to stop. Only for Anthea to stop but the other guardians kept moving. Peter looked back to see that only Anthea had followed his orders, he looked annoyed at his other team-mates

"The hand means stop" He said. Peter and Anthea kept moving slowly. Sylvia and Gamora hid behind one of the chambers while Drax and Mantis were nearby. Peter and Anthea moved towards Sylvia and Gamora. Anthea looked over to see that Gamora had a hard expression on her face, Sylvia looking over at her girlfriend and looked worried. They listened to the exchange between The Collector and Thanos. Anthea's eyes widen at the next few words that came out from Thanos and Collector's mouths.

"I don't know where Anthea is! She died all those years ago in that crash" He said and Thanos didn't look impressed with the answer at all "I know you're lying. You know she's alive, you don't need to protect her. Because when I go against her, she will be the one dead"

"So I'm asking you once again.. Where's the stone?" Thanos almost asked in a sing-song voice. Drax getting up and Peter also got up, alarmed

"That's him.. That's him" Drax whispered as he began to take out the knifes in his boots "Today.. He pays for the deaths of my wife and daughter"

"Drax! Drax Wait!" Peter said as he got up and moved towards him, trying to stop him "He doesn't have the stone yet.. We can stop him, we get the stone first and Anthea uses it" He tried making a point but Drax was looking dead ahead at Thanos who was still stepping on the Collector

"No! For Hovat.. For Kamaria!" Drax said as he pushed Peter away, Anthea tried to grab his arm but he was faster. But Mantis was faster as she grabbed the back of his head

"Sleep!" She commended. Drax's eyes rolled at the back of his head as he passed out, hitting the floor hard. It caused a huge bang and Peter grabbed Anthea's waist with an arm and pulled her down with him. Their faces were incredibly close to each other's, causing Anthea to blush and Peter's eyes widen.

Sylvia had grabbed Gamora's arm and yanked her down, they were next to Peter and Anthea now. Sylvia peaked a bit up and saw that Thanos had thrown the Collector in an chamber, making his way towards the sound.

"He's coming.. Make sure Anthea is safe" Sylvia whispered to the group. Peter snapped out of his thoughts as being close to Anthea was distracting him and he looked at Gamora

"Gamora and Mantis.. You go right" Peter tried to explain his plan but Gamora had run straight into the battle, attacking Thanos.

"You're other right" Peter hissed but he kept his hold on Anthea. Sylvia watched in amazement as she saw her girlfriend taking down Thanos, stabbing him in the neck. Her eyebrows raised.. Thanos was suppose to be a Titan.. It was too easy for him to be taken down!

Sylvia heard that Gamora was sobbing, she had dropped to the ground with her sword as her adopted father had fallen.. Questioning why Gamora had stabbed him.

"Well.. That was fast" Peter commented as he peaked out. Anthea scowled "There's something wrong.. Thanos would have put more of a fight.

It wasn't until Thanos' voice echoed "Is that sadness I sense in you?.. In my hear I knew you still cared"

Sylvia watched in horror as everything around her started to fade in red dust. Soon she was looking at a Knowhere that was broken.. In flames.

"No one never knows for sure.. Reality could be disappointing" The voice said as more and more of the damage of Knowhere was being shown, even the Collector had disappeared. Gamora looked around with tears in her eyes and Sylvia looked over and saw that Anthea was shocked as well. Her grip on Peter's hand was tightening

"That was until now.. Now reality can be whatever I want" Thanos said, suddenly appearing out of thin air and in front of Gamora. Sylvia's instinct was to run towards Gamora and stick an arrow through Thanos's arm but she stood there, she knew Gamora could take care of herself.

"You knew I would come" Gamora muttered with tears in her eyes, Thanos looked down at her "Yes.. There is something we need to discuss little one"

Gamora's eyes widen as she grabbed her sword and tried to stab Thanos but he was faster, grabbing the sword and breaking it, and grabbed Gamora by the back of her neck and she shouted

Thanos looked up to see Drax getting up

"Thanos!" Drax shouted as he tried to charge at him but Thanos shot a beam of energy at Drax, suddenly being broken into multiple pieces.

Mantis who was hidden behind an object looked in horror, Thanos saw her and shot another blast, causing Mantis to turn be broken like ribbons.

Thanos heard a whistle as he saw a raven-hair girl making her way towards his, angry tears in her eyes "Let her go Nutsack" She ordered.

Anthea was about to get up to attack Thanos but Peter tackled her to the ground and pinned her down, Anthea struggling as Peter was looking up "Let me up!" She whispered. Peter knew Thanos didn't see Anthea and he leaned in close to whisper into her ear

"If Thanos catches you now, you're done for." He said and Anthea shook her head "Sylvia and Gamora are in danger.. I'm not letting them be killed"

"Sylvia won't let Gamora die, over her dead body. I'm not letting you die, you need to reunite with Maria at least. I'm not going to lose you" He said and Anthea's heart felt like it stopped.

"Let her go" Sylvia simply said and she saw that Gamora was looking at her "Sylvia" her breathing hard. Sylvia looked at Sylvia "You should have gone right" She whispered and Gamora looked at her girlfriend "You're doing this now?" She whispered and Thanos narrowed his eyes "Ah, the Girlfriend"

"I prefer the term 'Best girlfriend ever' and I won't say this again. Let her go" She looked at him with a cold expression. Thanos looked at her and Gamora called out to her girlfriend

"I will not be afraid to put this arrow through your brain multiple times" Sylvia threatened.

"Syl.. Not him" Gamora said and Sylvia froze for a moment, looking at her girlfriend who had tears steaming down her face. Sylvia looked back at her girlfriend and then Thanos and Gamora knew that look

"You promised" Gamora called out, her voice weak and having tears in her eyes "You promised.."

Sylvia looked at Gamora and then Thanos.. She could break her promise right now, maybe possibly kill Thanos. But the Titan wouldn't go down easily.. She almost promised Gamora, to break her promise.. Would dishonor her memories of her parents.

Sylvia whistled for the arrow to aim at Gamora, she saw Gamora sigh in almost relief. Thanos looked unimpressed with Sylvia and he snorted "Really.. You expect so much from her."

"Do it" Thanos muttered as he saw that Sylvia was hesitating, sobs escaping from her and he shoved Gamora closer towards Sylvia's arrow "Do it!"

Sylvia almost let down her arrow when Gamora was pushed closer to it, she heard Gamora's scream and a grunt. She saw Gamora was breathing heavily, as she looking at the arrow that may kill her.

"You should have went right" Sylvia said as she wiped away tears, Gamora looking at her girlfriend with tears as she couldn't help but smile.

"I love you more than anything" Gamora told Sylvia, the green alien seeing that Sylvia was almost shaking "I love you more than life" Sylvia whispered.

Sylvia closed her eyes as she was ready to shoot the arrow through Gamora. Gamora closed her eyes as well. Sylvia shaking as she opened her eyes and whistled for the arrow and aimed at Gamora's head but suddenly her arrow turned into bubbles.

Sylvia and Gamora's eyes widen as the bubbles went into the air and Sylvia saw that Thanos was using the reality stone.

Thanos looked impressed "I like her.." He said before opening a portal with the Space Stone and Sylvia's eyes widen as she knew Thanos was going to escape with Gamora.

"No!" Sylvia shouted as she leaped forward and into the portal that Thanos and Gamora went into.

Anthea pushed Peter off her as she scrambled to her feet and ran towards the spot that Thanos, Sylvia and Gamora. She looked back and saw that both Drax and Mantis were put back together. Peter ran after and they looked around and Anthea shook her head

"This is just the start.. We need to find Maria and Aya now"

Author's Note:

So Another Chapter done!

I've always felt like Peter wouldn't be settled down if he wasn't with Anthea, hence feeling the frustration as he doesn't feel the feeling of stability, even being jealous of Gamora and Sylvia.. His future of being married to Anthea was robbed the day that Anthea went down.

I always intend for Sylvia to follow Gamora into the portal, Sylvia was always meant to be more than Anthea's protector.. She finally got a life she wanted and she won't give Gamora up without a fight. Hence now we have Sylvia based chapters! And in the end we see if she survives being Thanos' prisoner.

As for the Snap.. The characters who do live on and go on to Avengers 4, they will be in that story because they're an important part of the story, or this will be the final story they will be in and they won't appear in anymore stories. That means fan favorites may not survive the snap, it's not because I hate them. It's because there's either another story for them if the Snap gets undone.

Leave reviews! Do you think Sylvia will survive? Who are you expecting to be dead after the snap ?
