Apparently it could, because once we got to the Kyln, a big blue security guard took away my Walkman and started using it. Watching that guard use my Walkman made my blood boil. No, not literally boil. It's just a human expression. It just means I was really, really mad. Anyway, I went after him, and tried to get it back. Needless to say, it didn't work. He pulled his buzz-baton and shocked me! That big blue…! Anyway, after my uncalled for shock therapy, two guards threw me into what seemed to be a deacon, or decontamination chamber, got sprayed with I-don't-know-what, and, to be honest, I don't think I even want to know, then got shoved into a compartment that seemed to the main meeting area of the prison. As I was walking through the meeting area, a very tall blue alien stopped me saying, "Hey, check out the new meat." All I was thinking was 'oooh heck no!' I tried to get around him, but he just stepped in the way and started stroking my cheek. Man that was creepy. But, before things went too far up the creep-o-meter, two of my friends that I arrived with that I later found out where named Groot and Rocket, intervened, and basically claimed me. I stayed close to them after that little incident.
Later on that night, I heard a guard say, "take her down to the showers, it'll be easier to clean up the blood." I followed the sound of grunting and footsteps, and came to where the showers where. I could see Gamora was surrounded by a group of other inmates. One held a knife to her throat and said, "Gamora, this is payment for your crimes against the Galaxy." He looked like he was about to slit her throat, when a boomed out of nowhere, "you DARE?!" Everyone turned to see a hulking mass of an inmate who was walking towards the slowly dispersing group. The inmate who still had his knife on Gamora's throat, looked like his eyes were about to bug out of his head as he said in a trembling voice, "You're Drax the Destroyer." "Do you know why I am called that?" Drax asked. He waited for a minute, then said, "Ronan killed my wife Ovette, and my daughter Kamaria. He killed my family, now I shall kill his in return." Wow. He'd lost his whole family. It had probably happened right in front of him too. I honestly couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the guy.
He turned back to Gamora, and looked like he was about to slit her throat, so I thought it would be a good time to intervene. "Whoa, hey, hey, hey! I think you should think about what you're doing." Yea, not the smartest thing that I've done, and she did try and stab me in our tussle for the Orb, but I wasn't about to let her get killed for something she both had no control and no part in, I mean, you don't choose your family, right? Anyway, the hulking mass that was Drax the Destroyer, turned towards me and seemed to be almost scanning me. With a confused look on his face, he said, "Is this not the women that tried to kill you?" I had to hold back a scoff as I said, "well, she's hardly the first one to try and do that." I lifted up my shirt so he could see a scar left from an old flame, "This is from a Rayjax girl. She stabbed me with a fork 'cause she didn't like me skipping out at sunrise." I pulled down my collar to show another scar and said, "Got this from a Kree girl, she tried to rip out my thorax." Ooh man she was fiery, and surprisingly tender when she wanted to be, but she didn't take too kindly to me looking at this Aaascavarian girl I met. I was just trying to get information, I swear!
But anyway, getting back to trying to defuse a muscle-bound whack-job, said whack-job was turning his attention back to Gamora as his tightened his grip on her throat. "You don't care. But listen, she betrayed Ronan, so he's going to be coming after her. If you kill her now, you'll just being doing his dirty work for him." He looked intrigued, so I continued saying, "If you keep her alive, he'll come looking for her, and that when you'll" I slide my finger across my throat, meaning that he could finish him off, but the Big Guy didn't seem to get it as he asked, "Why would I put my finger to his throat?" "No, it means you slit his throat." "I would not slit his throat, I would cut it clean off." aww come on! Was this guy even listening to me? A bit frustrated, I said, "No, that's not the point, anyway, if you kill her, the chance of your revenge dies with her." That seemed to strike a chord as he instantly let Gamora go. He came toward me and said, "If you are lying, I will kill you." I throat went a little dry, but I said, "Fair enough."
Oh, boy. What did I get myself into now?
