Chapter 7: The Soul Stone.

On board the Sanctuary II, in the throne room, Gamora was sitting on the floor when she was approached by Thanos, who was carrying food for her.

"I thought you might be hungry." Thanos said as he offered the food.

Gamora takes the food, but instead of eating, she looks at Thanos before she throws it at the nearby throne.

"I always hated that chair." Gamora said with a hint of anger.

"So I've been told. Even so, I'd hoped you'd sit in it one day." Thanos said as he approached his throne.

"I hated this room. This ship. I hated my life." Gamora said, still with anger.

"You told me that too. Every day. For almost 20 years." Thanos said as he sits on the throne's steps, remaining unfazed by all of Gamora's angry statements.

"I was a child when you took me." Gamora said, recalling the day Thanos took her on the day he eliminated half the population of Zen-Whoberi.

"I saved you." Thanos rebuffed, making Gamora look at him.

"No. No. We were happy on my home planet." Gamora said.

"Going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I'm the one who stopped that. Do you know what's happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise." Thanos countered.

"Because you murdered half the planet." Gamora said bitterly.

"A small price to pay for salvation." Thanos said.

"You're insane." Gamora said.

"Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction." Thanos said.

"You don't know that!" Gamora hollered.

"I'm the only one who knows that. At least, I'm the only one with the will to act on it." Thanos said as he gets up and approached Gamora. "For a time... you had that same will as you fought by my side. Daughter."

"I'm not your daughter. Everything I hate about myself you taught me." Gamora said.

"And, in doing so, made you the fiercest woman in the galaxy. That's why I trusted you to find the Soul Stone." Thanos said, making Gamora look at him.

"I'm sorry I disappointed you." Gamora sarcastically lied.

"I am disappointed. But not because you didn't find it." Thanos said as he goes eye level with Gamora as he know she lied. "But because you did. And you lied."

Thanos then took Gamora to a torture room. The first thing Gamora saw was a woman hanging of the ground and her cybernetic parts were pulled apart from her body, causing immense pain. It was Nebula! Gamora's adopted sister!

"Nebula." Gamora said with concern as she approached Nebula. "Don't do this."

"Some time ago, your sister snuck aboard this ship to kill me." Thanos said.

"Please don't do this." Gamora said with concern.

"And very nearly succeeded. So I brought her here. To talk." Thanos said.

Thanos then use the Power and Space Stones on his Infinity Gauntlet to torture Nebula, making her scream in agony.

"Stop. Stop it." Gamora said as she grabs the gauntlet and weep. "I swear to you on my life. I never found the Soul Stone."

However, Thanos accessed Nebula's memory and had Nebula play it back via a hologram projection.

"You know what he's about to do. He's finally ready, and he's going for the stones. All of them." Nebula said on the projection.

"He can never get them all." Gamora said on the projection.

"He will!" Nebula said.

"He can't, Nebula. Because I found the map to the Soul Stone and I burned it to ash. I burned it." Gamora said.

"You're strong. Me. You're generous. Me. But I never taught you to lie. That's why you're so bad at it." Thanos said with a hint of anger as he raise his Infinity Gauntlet. "Where is the Soul Stone?"

Gamora remain silent, prompting Thanos to use the Power and Space Stones to torture Nebula once more, making her scream in agony again, which made Gamora weep and give in.

"Vormir!" Gamora said, making Thanos end the torturing, and Gamora approached Nebula. "The stone is on Vormir."

"Show me." Thanos ordered.

And that's the end of this chapter. Some step-father Thanos is, huh? All because he craves for power. What a jerk. Well, next chapter we will now see Thor, Rocket, Groot and the Nova Twins arriving at Nidavellir. And what will happen when Thor finds out who Daranak and Salzer are? That chapter might be uploaded in 24 hours. Please review. :)
