Chapter 4:

*Verena's POV*

The five of us are in a transportation towards the Kyln Prison. Just our luck. Sure my guys and I have breaked out of prisons in the past, but it always harder to not be caught.

"Here we go again," I sighed as they take us inside.

"Yea it's not too bad this time," Rocket noted, shrugging his shoulders.

"I am Groot," Groot says to us.

"True, but I am getting a little sick about getting into the prisons due to what we do," I said.

The guards has us into a line up. First Gamora, then Star Lord or whatever his name is, and then me.

"Name is Verena. The parents were killed off many years ago and been on its own since then," the guard reads off of a screen.

I growled through my teeth when he called me an it. Rocket is glaring deadly at them.

Once we are introduced, we follow in a line to get cleaned up for the Kyln.

"I guess most of the Nova Corps wanna uphold the laws…..but this one's here, they're corrupt and cruel. But, hey that's not my problem!" Rocket says as we walk a line to get cleaned up. "I ain't gonna be here long! Me, Verena, and Groot have escaped 22 prisons, this one's no different. You're just lucky the broad shoed up, otherwise we would be collectin' that bounty right now and you'd be getting drawn and quartered by Yondu and those Ravagers!"

The Terrain named Peter scoff, "I've had a lot of folks try to kill me over the years. I ain't about to be brought down by a purple haired girl, a tree, and a talking raccoon."

"Hold," the guard orders.

My eyes widened a little. I knew about Rocket's history with that word and let's say it's not pretty.

"What's a raccoon?" Rocket asked.

Peter simply rolls his eyes at this. "What's a raccoon? It's what you are, stupid!"

"Hey! Easy with him!" I exclaimed annoyed at Peter.

"Ain't nothing like me, except me!" Rocket points to himself with his thumb proudly.

"So," Peter speaks as the guard places in a password to open the door, "this orb has a real shiny blue suitcase, Ark of the Covenant, Maltese Falcon sort of vibe. What is it?" he asked Gamora.

"I am Groot," Groot answers his question.

"So what? What's the orb?" Peter asked again, obviously not understanding my dear friend.

"I have no words for a honorless thief," Gamora said with no emotion.

"Pretty high and mighty coming from the lackey of a genocidal maniac," I rolled my eyes, giving her a side glare.

She looks surprised and turns to me.

"We know who you are," I explained boredly, "anyone who is anyone knows who you are."

"Yea, we know who you are," Peter agrees with me. "Who is she?" he asked Groot.

"I am Groot."

"You said that already," Peter says annoyed.

Gamora speaks up, "I wasn't retrieving the orb from Ronan. I was betraying him….I had on agreement to sell it to a third party."

"I am Groot," Groot speaks.

"Well, that's just as fascinating as the first eighty nine times, you've told me that," he says sarcastically. "What is wrong with giving tree here?" he asked Rocket and I.

"He doesn't know how to talk like me and you," I begin, "so his vocabulistics are limited to 'I', 'Am', and 'Groot'. Exclusively in that order."

Then Peter begins to talk about something I was paying attention to until we all heard a room opening up. He look over to see a guard using Peter's musical device.

That made the Terrain get out of our line up and into the room before the door closes. "Hey! Put that away!"

The guard either ignores him or couldn't hear him as he places on the headphones, I believe that's what they are called.

"You son of a….Hey! Listen to me, you big blue bastard. Take those headphones off. That's mine, those belong to impound. That tape and that player is mine!" Peter's obviously furious with the guard.

I look over to where he is to see the guard zap the Terrain with his stunned. The electric shock caused him to fall on his knees, glaring at him.

A snicker appears out of my lips when he gets stunned again. "This should be interesting," I smirked to Rocket.

He laughs.
