Chapter 4
Peter's Point of View
Takes place as the others go into the living room
As I called Gamora over to talk the other headed into the living room. Drax and Rocket were going to follow me but I told them I needed to speak to Gamora alone, and would tell them after. They understood and followed Emma. Once Gamora had come over to me I ushered her into the hall, I checked to make sure nobody was listening before I spoke.
"I don't like it here, I don't feel welcome, Tony is a Jackass, Natasha looks like she wants to kill us, the only one out of them who is nice is Steve and I think that's because he's almost 100!" I said. Gamora looked at me, thought for a moment and then replied "I feel the same way Pete but remember we are here for Emma, these people looked after her when we weren't around, she considers them family we have to make an effort for her sake!"
I regretted my reply to this the minute I had said it but it was too late. "Well we all know whose fault it is I didn't raise Emma, don't we?" I snapped at her. Gamora's eyes filled with tears and she looked totally hurt. "I did what I thought was best for our daughter Peter, we were just stupid kids and you know in your heart you couldn't have looked after a baby at that stage of your life, I know it wasn't my right to choose for you, but you know I made the right call!" She stormed off at that. I tried to go after her and apologize but she had reached the living by then. As I followed her in I noticed everyone was standing around something. As I grew closer I heard them mention Thanos. "What did I miss?" I asked.
Emma looked up "Coulson thinks Thanos may have followed us to Earth" she said. "Ok who the hell is Coulson?" I responded. I saw him then, a small man wearing a suit "that would be me, and you are?" he stated very professionally. Emma interrupted then "oh sorry Coulson this is Peter my father and that lady over there is my mother Gamora, and the three hiding in the corner there are Rocket Racoon, Drax and the little tree is Groot. I found them just after leaving here". Coulson looked at each of us in turn before saying "nice to meet you all, I'm sure we will become better acquainted later, but right now what can you tell us about Thanos?"
Gamora spoke, she still sounded upset but kept it together as she explained "Thanos is my adoptive father, if what you say is true and he did follow us here, I'm pretty sure its me he is looking for. We kind of pissed him off by betraying him, stealing from him and ultimately losing him the infinity stone before we left and came here"
Her blunt explanation of how Thanos was after us seemed to shock everyone. Natasha was the first to reply, "ok then, now that he is here do you think he will come straight for you? Try to draw you out by attacking people? What is his game plan?" she stated.
Gamora looked her straight in the eye and said, "Thanos doesn't use a game plan, every attack and every plan he has ever carried out has been random. Not random in purpose, but random in a way that you wont know what hit you until you are face down in the dirt, looking at him leaving with whatever he wanted. He has only ever made two mistakes in his whole life the first one being me, he should never have trusted me and the second being that idiot Ronan. Humans like you don't stand a chance against Thanos only we do"
I knew by Natasha's face Gamora had gone to far by her last sentence. "Don't tell me what I can handle, everyone in this room survived the attack on New York and we are all human, well except Emma. Not only did we survive but we won, kicked their butts and saved everyone on earth!" Natasha had a lot of fight in her, and Gamora brought out the worst in her.
I could see Gamora about to fight back, I was about to interrupt but thankfully Emma beat me to it. I was in no mood for breaking up a catfight, plus truth is I wanted to see who would win! "Guys this isn't helping, the best way to beat Thanos is to work together. Mum you know him best so maybe you can try and predict what his next move will be, we already know he is here so why hasn't he attacked already?" Emma tried to reason.
Gamora who was still glaring at Natasha finally looked away and towards Emma. "I don't know why he hasn't attacked yet, my best guess he is looking for humans who will do his dirty work for him. Only then will he make a move."
Emma smiled and said "see that's progress we just have to find out what stupid humans would help a murderous alien, and after that what his plan will be to get back at mum" she looked around at us all as if that was the most normal thing in the world.
It seemed to register unanimously in the room, I however was the first to voice my fear "wait, wouldn't the best way to get back at Gamora be to take away something or someone that she can't live without?" I knew I was right when the entire room turned and looked at Emma. We had figured out what Thanos wanted all we had to do now was protect her no matter what until we stopped him.
After what seemed like hours we had come up with a Rota so Emma would never be left alone. Natasha had also insisted that she put on a tracker for "just incase" purposes. Once we had developed the rota we decided sleeping would be the next best thing so we headed off to bed. Gamora hung back so she didn't have to leave the room with me, I decided I would hide in her room so once she came to bed she would have to talk to me. I was in for a long night, she refused to leave Emma alone, and instead spent the night in her room.
I was awoken the next morning by, Gamora yelling at me and hitting me with a pillow. "What the hell are you doing in here? Have you been here all night?" she bellowed. It was a lot of questions to get in the few seconds I had been awake. "I came in here to apologize last night, but you never came back, I must have fallen asleep. I'm sorry" I said. She was about to respond when there was a loud explosion that ripped through the house. The smoke alarms all screamed into life, as did the sprinklers.
At first I thought Tony had been playing with his suit again but I was wrong. As we went into the hall to investigate we were attacked by, two men in black uniforms with huge guns. We easily fought them off but there was more downstairs. As I looked over the staircase I could see Natasha, Steve and Emma fighting them off. Emma was very impressive and I could see that Natasha had trained her their moves were identical.
As Gamora and myself ran downstairs to help the others Drax and Rocket joined us. However before we reached them there was another blast, this time a gas like substance crawled through the air and we were knocked unconscious. I awoke to the sound of someone crying, I jumped awake when I realized it was Emma. I was met with the reality that once again Emma had been taken except this time they had also taken me…..
Ok so that's chapter 4, a little earlier than I had planned by special request (you know who you are ;-)) so sorry for any mistakes in grammar/spellings hope you all enjoyed. I am aiming for the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy working together to get Emma and Peter back please comment and review love hearing all your feedback. Until next time ;-)
