A/N: Hey guys! So someone was kind enough to point out that Gamora's eyes are brown, not green. Thank you for that, I only said they were green because that was the color they were in the comics, but I can also go by the movie if you would all like! Also, the scenes with Gamora in the hospital, someone pointed out that it seemed like an Agents of SHIELD episode when Skye was on life support. To be honest I actually forgot about that episode and blocked it out of my memory because that was probably my least favorite episode. But it was mainly coincidence that it turned out that way haha. Enjoy.
Gamora was finally out of her surgery now and the others had been allowed into the ICU to see her.
"Can she hear us?" Drax asked Dr. Camara, who was looking over Gamora's chart.
"Most likely. If you talk to her it will help encourage her to wake up." She said before she put the chart back on it's clip at the foot of the bed, "I'll be back soon to check on her. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to have the nurse at the reception desk page me over the PA system." She added, turning and leaving the room.
Peter gently took Gamora's hand in his own, "Gamora, I know you can probably hear us," Peter began, his voice cracking, "Rocket is here and so are Groot and Drax." He added, nodding to the three to at least give some indication they were there.
"I am Groot."
"Yeah. What Groot said. Stop being a jackass and wake up already so we can get out of here." Rocket grumbled before he hunched his shoulders and slinked out of the room with Groot following behind.
"He just cares. We all do." Drax said before he turned and followed the raccoon and the tree.
Peter sighed, "We all care about you, Gamora. And I love you so much that I will do whatever you want when we leave here. Visit any planet you want. Saturn maybe? I know you've always wanted to go there. Or Asgard maybe? What do you say to that?" He asked, tightening his grip on Gamora's hand.
All he wanted was to see her beautiful eyes open again. He wanted her to pick fights with him, heck, he wanted to see her get drunk again.
"I've lost so many people in my life that I care about. If you die, I won't be able to live with myself. I want to marry you, Gamora. I don't see myself with anyone else but you." He said, resting his head on the edge of the hospital bed.
He wanted so badly for Gamora to defy the odds and wake up right here, right now.
That was all he thought about as he let his eyes close and he succumbed to sleep.
"I am Groot?"
"I doubt she's going to make it, Groot." Rocket said solemnly, sighing as Drax pet him on his head, something that he hadn't done since their fight with Ronan.
"We can't lose hope. I have faith that Gamora will pull through." Drax said as he continued to stroke Rocket's fur. Surprisingly, Rocket welcomed the comfort.
"I am Groot."
"Yeah yeah. Whatever."
Peter awoke at the crack of dawn the next morning, a mere fourteen hours since they brought Gamora here and eighteen since they rescued her from Titan. He rubbed the sleepiness from his blue eyes and stood up, walking over to the window and watching the sunrise in awe.
I wish Gamora could see this right now. He thought, still marveling at the pink and orange horizon.
The former outlaw was drawn out of his thoughts when the machines started beeping rapidly. His eyes widened as he rushed to his critical girlfriends bedside, noticing that the machines showed that Gamora's heart rate was spiking.
"Someone help!" He yelled frantically out the open doorway of the room as Gamora's heart rate continued to spike, climbing to dangerously high levels as doctors and nurses rushed in.
Before they could do anything or kick Peter out of the ICU, the numbers on the monitor began to drop once more and the beeping became slow and steady. Her heart rate was stabilizing by itself. Something the doctors had never seen before in a patient as critical as Gamora.
What happened next shocked everyone.
Gamora's eyes snapped open.
A/N: Let me know what y'all think! Please review :)
