The bar
"Your buyer's in there?" Rocket asked Gamora as they all went further in the club.
Gamora was leading them to the buyer, walked through all drunks people.
"We are to wait here for his representative" Gamora said.
They planned on waiting for the buyer's arrival so they went to drink some few drinks while waiting. It turned out everyone's getting drunk, except for (Y/N) and Gamora.
The boys were having so much fun betting and winning the game. Everytime they won or something, they ordered more fresh beer to drink, making the girls sick by looking at them chucking the beers and made the fluid came out from their mouths and ended on their filthy clothes.
(Y/N) saw Peter took Gamora to somewhere more privately so she just shook it off, knowing how playboy he could be at times.
(Y/N)'s gaze landed on Rocket, Drax and Groot. They were laughing loudly while betting which animals in the area would win first.
Some time later, (Y/N) was sitting in a bar, kept her gaze on the boys while drinking quietly her beer. She got distracted by a man from Knowhere, look pretty drunk, began flirting with her.
(Y/N) knew this would happen anytime soon, and she's correct about it. The man kept on touching her cheek, snakes a hand around her waists and tried to kiss her on the lips. It made (Y/N) VERY uncomfortable as she tried so hard to struggle away.
"You know, you look like an angel when I look closer to you. Maybe you look more than an angel if I look deep into you~" he flirted.
(Y/N) felt like she'll be vomiting anytime soon so she looked around to get her mind distracted. Her gaze once again landed on the boys. She saw that Rocket was holding out his gun to Drax, ready to shoot.
(Y/N)'s eyes widened and she quickly got out from the man's grasp and ran to Rocket.
"Woh! Woh! What are you doing?!" (Y/N) yelled, blocking the gun of Rocket from approaching the thesaurus.
"This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!" Drax pointed out.
"That is true!" Rocket agreed, but still found anger in his voice.
"He has no respect!" Drax pointed out again.
"That is also true!" Rocket once again agreed.
"Hold on! Hold on!" Peter went beside (Y/N).
"Keep calling me vermin, tough guy! You just wanna laugh at me like everyone else!" Rocket yelled.
(Y/N) notices the pain that he was having and felt terrible about it. The way she acted around him, the way they always have to argued about every small things, making (Y/N) felt bad for Rocket.
"Rocket, you're drunk. Alright? No one's laughing at you!" (Y/N) stated, standing in front of Rocket, blocking his view from shooting Drax.
"He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does! Well, I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart, and put back together, over and over and turned into some...some little monster!" Rocket said, remain tears in his eyes.
(Y/N) kneeled down to his level and grabbed both of his hands into hers. Their gazes were locked with each other as (Y/N) tried to calm down Rocket.
"Rocket, no one's calling you a monster" (Y/N) said in soft tone, didn't want to argue or yelling at each other.
"He called me vermin!" Rocket yelled while referring to Drax. He tuned and looked at the both women. "You called me rodent!" he yelled again.
"Rocket..." (Y/N) said, above whispers.
"Let's see if you can laugh after five or six good shots to your frickin' face!" Rocket got out from (Y/N)'s grasps, took his gun and charged it at Drax.
(Y/N)'s eyes widened at this as she tries to make Rocket stop.
"No, no, no, no! Four billion units! Rocket! Come on, man. Hey! Suck it up for one more lousy night and you're rich" Peter said quickly, standing in front of Drax and defending him.
Rocket took a moment before lowering his gun and sighed.
"Fine. But I can't promise when all this is over I'm not gonna kill every last one of you jerks" Rocket told the team.
"See? That's exactly why none of you have any friends! Five seconds after you meet somebody, you're already trying to kill them!" Peter snapped.
"We have traveled halfway across the quadrant, and Ronan is no closer to being dead" Drax said and left the bar.
"Drax!" (Y/N) stood up called out to him but was stopped by Gamora who said to let him go and that he isn't needed anyway.
Everyone was silent then someone broke it by calling Gamora's name. All of them turned around and saw a pink skin coloured woman and no, it's not Bereet.
"Milady Gamora, I'm here to fetch you for my master" she said and held out her hand inside the door, motioning them to go inside of the room.
The lady soon escorted the five to the Collecter. They saw a lot of cages made out from glasses and in them, like, something that you wouldn't want to know. It's disgusting. Even Gamora felt sick watching them.
As they were following the lady climbed up some stairs, Rocket decided to give some nice comments.
"Okay, this isn't creepy at all" Rocket said sarcastically while (Y/N) who's standing beside him giggled.
Rocket heard the cute laughs and immediately smirked, proud of making the comments.
"We house the galaxy's largest collection of fauna, relics, and species of all manner" Carina (her name btw) introduced the buyer.
As they walked to the figure who was waiting someone's arrival, (Y/N) noticed that Rocket growled deeply at a dog wearing a spacesuit. (Y/N) chuckled with her hand in front of her mouth, trying to be quite.
Rocket turned and saw that (Y/N) was laughing as he immediately blushed but no one can see because of his furs.
"You sure have a sense of humour Rocket" (Y/N) whispered between her chuckles at Rocket.
"Tsk, what can I say? Ain't nothin' like me, 'cept me" Rocket said proudly.
(Y/N) looked at Rocket who was looking at her too, smiling at each other. But Rocket was more into smirking.
Carina then stopped walking which made the rest stopped also. Carina turned around and swayed her hands open.
"I present to you, Taneleer Tivan, the Collector" Carina said, referring to the figure in front of everybody.
"Such a great introduction" (Y/N) whispered as both Rocket and her chuckled under their breaths.
"I know right? Can't he even do it by himself?" Rocket joked as they both once again chuckled at each other but then stopped when they saw Gamora and the Collecter walked towards each other.
"Oh, my dear Gamora" he grabbed her hand and brought it near to his lips. "How wonderful to meet in the flesh" he kisses her forehand.
(Y/N) looked in disgust because of the way he kissed her hand was so freaking wrong to her. And the way he looked at her, ew, GROSS.
"Let's bypass the formalities, Tivan. We have what we discussed" Gamora said to the Collecter.
The Collecter brought his head up and releases Gamora's hand.
"What is that?" the Collecter looked at Groot who was behind everyone so all of them need to look behind them.
"I am Groot" Groot replies.
The Collecter slowly approaches Groot.
"Why, so he could turn you into a frickin' chair?" Rocket sassily said to the Collecter.
The Collecter only took a quick glance at Rocket and his gaze returned to Groot.
"That's your pet?" the Collecter asked Groot.
"His what?!" Rocket growled and was about to grabbed his gun out of his back but stopped when (Y/N) kneeled in front of him and stopped him. Rocket just growled after.
The Collecter chuckled darkly and then looked at the Terran woman.
"Who's this pretty gal?" the Collecter asked as he approaches the Terran.
He then grabbed the hand of her, making her standing up and faces him. She gulped silently, already felt awkward and kind of disgusted.
He closes his eyes and was about to kiss her hand, (Y/N) made her disgusted face and Gamora notices this so she interrupted.
"Tivan, we have been halfway around the galaxy, retrieving this orb" Gamora said, standing beside him.
The Collecter pulled his head back up. (Y/N) sighed in relief because he hadn't kissed her hand yet or she will be washing her hand for the next several weeks.
The Collecter releases (Y/N)'s hand but hi gaze was still on (Y/N) while Gamora explaining. (Y/N) felt herself tensed up.
"Very well, then. Let us see what you brought" the Collecter finally broke his gaze from (Y/N) which made her internally sighed in relief.
Gamora then looks at Peter. Peter got the message so he grabbed the Orb that was behind his back and wanted to hand it to the Collecter but accidentally dropped it off his hand but he then manages to catch it and acting cool once again.
Meanwhile
Drax escaped the bar, still half drunk. He looked around Knowhere and saw a some kind of message receiver booth. He then got an idea and sneak in the place.
He grabbed a knife and held it tightly in his hand. As he approaches te guy, he heard him saying something that he didn't understand.
"Three quarnyx batteries, seven cases of cotati seeds. No, cases. Last time, you sent me-" the guy stopped when Drax put the knife on his neck.
Drax leaned forward to his ear and whispered.
" You shall send a message for me"
Back to the group
"Oh, my new friends. Before creation itself, there were six singularities" the Collecter said, examined the Orb that was in some kind of a machine.
Everyone around him watches it very carefully at what he's doing. Soon, the machine began to moved and opened the metal Orb in ease.
Everyone awed when they saw a purple stone floating between the ball. As the Orb was being opened, there was some circles and pictures or more perhaps, some flashbacks in them, surrounding them all.
"Then the universe exploded into existence, and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated ingots. Infinity Stones. These stones, it seems, can only be brandished by beings of extraordinary strength. Observe" the Collecter said as all of them looked at the certain flashbacks.
It revealed a giant robot stomped his sector on the ground and revealed a wave of purple and killed all of the creature on the planet.
(Y/N) gulped a little.
"There's a little pee coming out of me right now" Peter admitted.
(Y/N) looked at her brother and showed him her disgusted face.
"Once, for a moment, a group was able to share the energy amongst themselves, but even they were quickly destroyed by it" the Collecter explained.
He then once again looked back at the stone.
"Beautiful. Beyond compare" the Collecter fangirled with his hands formed fists and set it near his mouth.
"Blah, blah, blah. We're all very fascinated, whitey. But we'd like to get paid" Rocket interrupted the moment.
"How would you like to get paid?" the Collecter asked and left the table and went to a cabinet of his to take the units.
As he left, the pictures are no longer there and left the group facing the Collecter, not noticing that Carina was approaching the stone.
"What do you think, fancy man? Units!" Rocket replied the stupid question.
"Very well, then" the Collecter opened the cabinet and was about to grab the money but notices that Carina was approaching the stone, slowly.
"Carina. Stand back" the Collecter warned her.
She then got mad. (Y/N) ran to her to stop her.
"I will no longer be your slave!" Carina screamed.
(Y/N) was be able to get her other hand instead of the one that grabbed the stone. When she grabbed the stone, some purple light came across Carina's body and transfered it to (Y/N), making the two women yell in pain.
"(Y/N)!!" everyone shouted her name.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" (Y/N) screamed and mourned.
Some explosions were floating and bombed all over the place, breaking and crashing all of the valuable stuffs.
Groot pulled (Y/N) away from Carina's arm quickly before Groot could even feel it and quickly take cover.
Groot manages to escaped the Collecter's place with Rocket and unconcious (Y/N) in his hand. Groot jumped front and shielded the both of them with his back as Carina exploded.
As the rest of them, they were still in the Collecter's place.
Groot soon got off them and let them breath. Rocket groaned in pain and opened his eyes to see (Y/N) was unconcious with her left hand was badly injured and her sleeve were ripped apart, revealing the terrible injured.
Rocket's eyes widened and went to her to check her pulse. He sighed when he feel a slight movement on her neck, means that she's alive.
After the light show, Peter and Gamora went out of their hideouts and looked around to see the place was badly destroyed.
"What the fff...?" Peter said, next to Gamora.
Gamora then got up and ran to the Orb, closing back the Orb which contains the stone. They both then left the place with the Orb in Gamora's hand.
When Peter and Gamora got out, they saw Rocket and Groot surrounded a lying body.
"Hey guys. We're leaving-" Peter stopped when he saw his lovely sister, unconcious on the ground with he arm was badly injured.
He then kneeled down to get a better look. Rocket stood silent as Groot looked at the mourn brother.
