amongfriendsThey agree to help Nebula take out Thanos. It's better than the alternative of letting her go alone. Gamora is scared, of course. She is fairly sure everyone, but Drax is scared. They know there's no backing down from it. As loathe as Gamora is to admit it, eventually he'll come for them. They live in the galaxy and are part of the population he intends to slaughter throughout it.
At least this way they have a shot at winning. The problem turns out to be finding Thanos. After his losses, he doubles down on finding the stones and is in the wind. The only lead they have is a story about a group of Terrans fighting off one of Thanos' invasions years ago with an Asgardian prince. They know Asgardians have at least one stone from the Collector. They suspect the Terrans have more. The challenge really becomes reaching Terra before it's a burning wasteland.
Much to their surprise, Terra is way ahead of them on the plan to fight Thanos despite not even knowing his name and is in one piece. After confirming that they are definitely not space invaders, they find themselves part of a bigger team and with new direction. The Guardians have a lot of information that the Avengers needed. The Avengers know where to find most of the items Thanos is after. It's an early alliance, but promising. They each seem to have something the other team lacks. What more can anyone ask for in a partnership?
Gamora finds herself hopeful for the first time in a long while. She knows Nebula feels the same way even if it's still nice to think they could kill Thanos alone and be done with it. They have a mission tomorrow to collect Thor and get the Asgardians on board with their tentative plans to resist annihilation. Hopefully no wacky adventures involving gladiators complicate things!!
For tonight, Gamora wants to focus on them. There's been so much plotting going on that even Gamora recognizes she needs time to reconnect with Peter before things really get crazy. She journeys out with Groot incognito and comes back an hour later with Denny's. Lots of Denny's.
"I have it on good authority that this is the best meal this city has to offer." Her authority is literally some random guy who was nice to her. He seemed sincere enough. Gamora takes a seat across from Peter and passes his bag over. She watches his reaction like a hawk. It's not often she tries to do anything romantic largely because she didn't have access to peak 80s romance content. Gamora just wants to see Peter happy even if the best she can do is provide a meal and company.
