Cindy froze at the mention of Thanos, that bombshell being something that she was probably very late to. She felt late to everything nowadays, it seemed like. She was more confused than ever, but she tried not to let it show. “I’m sorry to hear that.” She sighed, not sure what else to say before she paused. “I’m sure that was kind of miserable. Was he your biological father? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I’m not, anymore.” She replied quickly and evenly. They had lost years. She had lost her life. And still, here they were. The girl had the same reaction that most did to Thanos; unless he had wronged them and anger was the justified response. “It was torture. But no, Thanos has no biological children in this reality. He has a son elsewhere.” Thane, of Earth-616. “Nebula, myself, the Black Order. Some of us were kidnapped and others found their way. He didn’t love any of us.” Except Gamora. What he considered love was far from it. She knew that after loving Quill and the Guardians. “But he believed he loved me. He wasn’t capable of it.”

“With the state of affairs at the moment, it’s only a matter of time before things escalate.”

“Captain Danvers has discussed the situation with the Guardians. I have to be honest, I was the most skeptical about this new... tool, to help us predict threat. The Guardian’s will stand by you though, if you need defense.”

“woah, hey! watch it – i just got this face back.”

“Why does every conversation starter here have to be strange like that?”

“It stinks, yes. Where are you from?” Luna made a slight face, not sure of how else to describe the air quality on Earth. She was definitely feeling homesick, but unfortunately she was stuck until she found a way to New Attilan. “Do you know where I can get some food?”

“Zen-Whoberi, initially. It’s no longer there.” It hadn’t been for a long time. “Mostly? Everywhere. We traveled the galaxy.” First on the Sanctuary II with Thanos, but later the Milano with the Guardians. Gamora stopped, weighing her options over in her mind. “Fine. Come with me. We’ll find a way to signal whoever you’re looking for.”

“Just seems better to me to prevent it altogether if it’s possible. But I know sometimes it’s just not. Which sucks. But you win some you lose some I guess..”

“Some people aren’t lucky enough to have that choice. Not everyone gets better.” Her sometimes it’s not seemed like an understatement compared to how many bad people were out in the world, eager to abuse and take advantage of. Gamora hadn’t wanted to become an assassin. She hadn’t wanted her childhood ripped away or most dangerous woman in the galaxy tacked on her name like a mark of pride when it was really just a reminder of what she had done. “It’s more complicated than that, but you should count yourself lucky that you’ve never had to learn.”

Daisy’s mouth fell open slightly at the name of the sword, not sure if she should be impressed or scared that Gamora had a sword named that just chilling on her back. “Oh?” She paused at the question and laughed softly when Gamora didn’t want to go to wherever Drax was. And honestly. Daisy couldn’t blame her. Of course he was Gamora’s teammate, but he seemed like a lot. And sometimes you just didn’t want to deal with that. Daisy felt the same way about Deke back in the day. “I think there’s some salads in the fridge last time I checked. They tend to keep it pretty stocked. Or we could cook something, if you want. I think there’s pasta.”

“It was a gift.” She weighed the blade in her hand, the dagger still affixed to the hilt. “It can kill an Asgardian. I’ve never tried.” The warrior had never even met one until she had come from 2014. Salad. Pasta. Peter had slowly introduced her to a number of things. They had the equivalent of salad in space, but it wasn’t called that. “If you wouldn’t mind teaching me.” A shoulder shrugged. “I’m ‘assimilating’.” For Peter. All for Peter, who had been so sweet and earnest despite his sadness that she wanted to meet him half way.

“Well actually-” Cassie paused, brows furrowing as she took in Gamora’s words. It made a lot more sense, honestly. Why Ants? Cassie knew why, but shrinking man did kinda make more sense. “Gamora.. I like that! It’s got a nice ring to it. My name’s Cassandra, but I go by Cassie. Do you have a full name?”

“Gamora.” She repeated. “I have no family name. Thanos took any trace of that. I used to be a Daughter of Thanos, but that’s not who I am. Not anymore.” She paused, the words ones that she kept saying but hard to believe. It had been what she wanted for so long that to have it was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. “It’s nice to meet you, Cassie. What do you do here?”

Joaquin flinched away from the knife as it embedded itself in the wall above his shoulder, “Jesus Christ! What did I do??”

Hitting the second target, Gamora turned to look at him. “Nothing. You spoke to me, I replied. Why?” She twirled the knife remaining in her hand. “You look nervous.”

Cindy was speaking to an alien. Maybe that wasn’t so crazy considering Cindy had literal spider superpowers, but she was pretty sheltered all alone in that bunker. The extent of her interactions were with her old Nintendo playing Pokemon and talking to herself. So while she was trying to put herself out there, it was hard not to let herself stare at the other woman’s green skin as she blinked and nodded. “I’m not so sure that things will ever be definitely good. Seems like things around here are kind of all over the place most of the time.”

For a moment Gamora paused, debating how honest to be. “I’m not from here.” She finally said. “And I don’t mean Terra. Until recently, I was from 2014. My father -- Thanos.” The alien corrected himself. “He made sure our lives looked nothing like they do now.”

At the sight of the green woman, Daisy’s eyebrows raised slightly before she forced them back down. It wasn’t a super unusual sight at this point, but it just wasn’t what she was expecting in that moment. Plus, she knew the Guardians were wandering around today. Her conversation with Mantis earlier reminder her of that. Although, Gamora didn’t seem quite as sweet. “Cool sword.” Daisy pointed out, nodding her head towards the hilt of the giant sword on Gamora’s back. “I think I saw.. Drax going in that direction? I think that’s his name. It’ll be the first door around the corner.”

The change in the other woman’s facial expression was met with indifference, Gamora’s face not so much as twitching as she waited for a response. “Godslayer.” She canted her head to the side towards the blade. It was compactable, which was nice. Strong enough to kill an Asgardian. “If Drax is there, I’ll need a new destination.” It was then that Gamora smiled slightly, one corner of her lip ticking upwards. She liked Drax. He was family. That didn’t mean she wanted to deal with his noise and knives. “Do they keep food here that’s not fried?”

“that - is true. although, would you prefer they come up with new jokes? that feels counterproductive.”

“I’d prefer they keep their mouth shut, but I feel that’s impossible here. At least now I know where Peter gets it from.”

“I know, but it’s nice to celebrate the small victories, right? Otherwise you just get bogged down with all of the.. you know, death and stuff.”

“It wears on you.” She confirmed, the graveyard in her head still full of faceless souls. “But there’s ways to manage that over time.”

“My dad is human size, yes. But sometimes he can get down to be an ant’s size with the suit he wears. Hence the whole Ant-Man thing,” Cassie explained, but then she paused and tilted her head. “But sometimes he can get super big. Not to get him confused with Giant-Man. That’s a different guy.. I think. Sorry, I know it’s confusing.”

“So he should be shrinking man.” She decided, feeling as oddly literal as Drax in that moment. Maybe he was rubbing off on her. She’d need to try and clear her head of that. At the young girl’s words, Gamora shrugged a shoulder. “I go by Gamora. It’s simpler that way, but the galaxy seems full of nicknames.”

“Okay, yeah, but —” Scott opened his mouth to protest, unsure of how to do so, “Thats just…willing suspension of disbelief. He’s a real frog if you think he is. Without a hand up his ass.”

“I’ve seen your frogs and they look nothing like that. Rocket looks more like a raccoon than Kermit does a frog.”

Luna frowned at the green woman’s question and shook her head in response. “I just told you, I don’t have any money. I need that to get food.” Unless she stole some, but she wasn’t sure how to go about that. And honestly it felt beneath her. She was so used to people just bringing her whatever she needed when she needed it. “I’m not from here. Earth, I mean. And you don’t look like you are either.”

“I also don’t have any money.” Although her hands fell to her hips, the movement wasn’t meant to be hostile. It was just a natural stance at this point. Quill had money -- somehow -- and he kept telling her to take it but Gamora was either stubborn or forgot. There were a few other things on her mind. “No. I’m not, nor have I been here long enough to get the appeal.” Someone she loved loved it. It meant she had to try. “The air is terrible, isn’t it?”
