A/N: Hey guys! So, there's not much to say about this chapter except that Gamora kind of freaks out in the beginning.
For a moment, Gamora was confused and started to thrash around violently in the bed, trying desperately to rip the IV and tubes out.
"Hey hey! Gamora it's alright! Your safe." Peter said, grabbing her gently and holding her down on the bed until she calmed down so the doctors wouldn't have to sedate her.
When Gamora started to calm down, Peter let go of her and sat back in his seat.
"Gamora, sweetheart? Do you know where you are?" Dr. Camara asked, placing a gentle hand on hers.
Gamora was silent as she tried to cross her arms and glared up at the ceiling. Giving the doctor, Peter, and the other doctor that was in the room her answer.
"Would you like us to take you off the ventilator?" Dr. Tulsa asked softly.
The woman rolled her eyes and nodded her head slightly, earning smiles from the two doctors as Dr. Camara unplugged the ventilator while Dr. Tulsa shimmied the tube out of the assassins throat. Gamora took a deep breath and broke into a coughing fit once the tube was out. Her chest ached and burned with each breath and cough.
"Where am I?" She asked, taking another painful breath.
"You're in Xandar's hospital. Do you remember what happened? How you ended up here?"
Gamora closed her eyes, deep in thought as she struggled to remember how she ended up at the hospital.
"I remember Thanos and Nebula...Nikolai...and that is all." She said, opening her eyes.
Peter sighed, "You were tortured by them. When we brought you here, you had a twenty-five percent survival rate."
"You had a ruptured spleen that actually caused an infection. It spread to the areas around your heart and it became pericarditis. You also had torn ligaments, your torn ACL was more concerning, and a dislocated knee. You had a collapsed lung and all of your ribs are broken. Also brain contusions. Also a broken ankle and massive internal bleeding. Mr. Quill, may I speak with you in the hall?" Dr. Camara asked, nodding her head towards the door way.
Peter nodded and got up, leaving the room with Dr. Camara while Gamora was left in the care of Dr. Tulsa.
"The brain damage isn't as severe as we believed it would be. However, she will be very confused and her memory has become somewhat affected, but i'm confident that it's only temporary. Everything should come back to her soon."
"Any idea when she can have the chest tube taken out? When can she leave?"
"I would like to run a few more tests and test out her motor skills, such as how well she'll be able to walk with very little assistance. If all of the tests are fine and she can at least walk a little bit, then within a week or two she should be able to leave." She explained, clasping her pale hands in front of her as she gave him a nod and began to walk away.
"Hey, Dr. Camara?"
The doctor turned to look at Peter expectantly.
"Can you tell my friends that she's awake? I think she'll want to see them."
She nodded and turned once more and walked in the direction of the waiting room while Peter joined his girlfriend once more.
"Where are Rocket, Groot, and Drax?" She asked tiredly as she took a deep breath.
"Somewhere in the hospital." He said as Rocket, Groot, and Drax entered .
"I am Groot!" Groot yelled excitedly as the three gave her a hug.
"About time you woke up, jack ass." Rocket muttered, climbing onto the foot of the bed and sitting down, careful to avoid Gamora's injured leg.
"Are you tired Gamora? Do you require anything?" Drax asked, looking at Gamora inquisitively.
"Some pajamas so I can get out of this horrid hospital gown," She said, gesturing to the blue hospital gown, "Blue is not my color."
"I am Groot?"
Rocket sighed, "The answer to that question is simply; black. She wears nothing but the color black."
Peter sighed, "I'll head back to the ship to get you some pajamas. Drax, Groot, and Rocket will be here to watch you until I get back."
Gamora rolled her eyes, "I am not a child, Peter." She said as Peter gave her a kiss on the lips before he left for the second time that morning.
Gamora sighed and put her head back down on the pillow and she allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.
