Chapter five, Stop it!

Peter's point of view.

I knew as soon as she walked through the door that something happened. A smile was stuck on her face and she had been walking around as if she were in a daze

"So how'd it go?" I asked her, arms folded across my chest. She looked at me and blushed, hesitating for a second.

"I, uhm...it was uhh...yeah, it was nice." She mumbled. I stared at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Do I need to break legs?" I asked seriously. She looked at me and shook her head, still blushing. I stared at her for a second longer, noticing how she shifted her weight to her other foot multiple times, uncomfortable with the situation.

"Peter leave her alone." Gamora chided, coming into the room.

"I just wanna know what happened," I defended. "Considering how red you are I have a pretty good idea." I said, causing her to look away from me, embarrassed.

"Nothing happened." She mumbled, not looking up at me. "I uhm...I'm tired, can I go to bed?" She asked, obviously just wanting an excuse to get away. I rolled my eyes and stepped aside from her, letting her get past to her room.

"Do you really have to be like that?" Gamora asked, earning a glare from me.

"She's my sister, Gamora. I have the right to be like this." I said, still using my stern 'big brother' tone.

"You don't have to embarrass her." She said.

"What? I wanted to know what happened." She rolled her eyes.

"You're going to annoy her really quickly." She said, though she was smirking slightly.

"I can't help it. I'm worried about her, Gamora." I admitted, sitting in one of the chairs and looking to the floor. She stood behind me, a hand on my shoulder. "What if he turns out to be another asshole, like the Ravengers were?" I asked quietly, my jaw clenched as I mentioned it. Gamora sighed, and she walked in front of me and crouched before me so I could see her.

"That won't happen again, Peter." She said, though she didn't sound as sure as I wanted her to. "We won't let it."

"Quill! Get your ass up! We gotta problem!" Rocket yelled, banging on my door.

"Piss off you furry bastard." I mumbled.

"You what?!" He yelled, banging on the door again. I rolled my eyes and sat up, knowing he wouldn't leave me alone.

Once I was dressed, I went out and glared at him.

"What?" I asked tiredly, leaning against the wall.

"Somebody fucked up the ship." He hissed. I looked at him, eyes wide.

"What?!"

Rocket lead me outside and out towards the back of the ship, where the thrusters had been broken, as well as some wires and things sticking out.

"Who the fuck would do this?!" I yelled, kicking a rock by my feet. Rocket shrugged.

"You know how to fix shit, right?"

After a couple of hours of Rocket telling me what to do, I kind of knew what we were doing. The thrusters had been damaged at the back so they wouldn't work. I had gone back to the ship at one point to see if the Milano would still fly, but only ended breaking the second thruster too. When I got back I had to sit through yelling by Rocket, before we carried on with the ship.

After a while, I heard the hatch door opening and somebody coming out.

"I'm sitting out front 'cause I'm not listening to anymore of Drax's constant rambling." I heard Phoebe complain. I chuckled, looking up at her.

"Okay, have fun with that." I said with a laugh before she sat out the front of the ship.

"Damnit why did it have to break today?" I asked myself while I worked.

"What do ya mean?"

"Phoebe and that guy, Soren. It's pissing me off." I grumbled. Rocket nodded his head as he started working on the wires.

"Yeah I know. That guy sounds like a little cunt." He snapped. "Ya shoulda herd her this morning with Gamora, telling her how amazing and fantastic her date was. Load of shit." I nodded my head.

"He didn't seem that nice when I met him. Looked more like a soldier if you ask me." I mumbled, shaking my head.

I heard talking out by the front of the ship, and knew who it was immediately.

"Speak of the devil." I grumbled, earning a glare from me and Rocket in their direction.

"I don't trust him."

"You don't trust anybody with her if I'm honest." Rocket mumbled, causing me to glare at him.

"I'm serious. That guy gives me the creeps. What if he's just like the Ravengers?" I asked.

Rocket hadn't known much about her past, but while she was in the hospital I made sure he knew about the Ravengers. I only told Rocket and Gamora the truth. I felt like they should know so they didn't do anything with her that would trigger unwanted memories.

Rocket was about to say something else, when she ship jolted as if somebody was pushed into it.

"I'm not stayin' here if they start fuckin' on the ship." Rocket grumbled, earning a glare from me.

"Dude! That's-" I started to say, only to be interrupted by a scream, and another thump on the ship.

"Soren! Stop it!" I heard Phoebe shout. I immediately dropped my things, cursing loudly as I ran to the front of the ship, Rocket following right behind me.

Duhn duhn duuuuhn! Sorry to leave on a cliffhanger, I'm planning to get the next chapter out tomorrow, or the day after at the latest. Anyways, what did you think? Reviews and suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you for reading!
