@outlawiism wanted her heart ripped out so i’m FLARKIN HERE TO DELIVER!
It’s like a HEAD RUSH, one moment you’re staring through severely BRUISED eyes, crimson stained against EMERALD skin. And she’s hanging there, HELPLESS. No one likes that feeling–––no one wants to have their WEAKNESSES out for all the UNIVERSE to see. And she is TRYING so hard to remain strong. To look her ENEMY in the eye as he threatens and BEATS the one thing that was holding her together. She dares not look away. Because she is supposed to be STRONG and UNFEELING. Nothing gets past that armor of STEEL she had put on, years in the making, since her YOUTH. But then HE came along.
He, who PIERCED right through that armor, opening a crack and getting right to her very CORE. He, who was BRUSHED aside as a terran IMBECILE who was only STANDING in her way. He, who stuck onto her like a FUNGUS. But those weren’t nice ways to explain how he CAME into her life. How he taught her so many WONDERFUL things–––how she did the same with him. To watch her LEADER be beaten and bloodied. If she were to WINCE, Thanos would know, like he DOESN’T already FLARKIN’ know. She, who’s being held up by some THUGS, faithful to Thanos, blinks away the tears in her eyes. There is only one END to his TORTURE. And it was DEATH.
Her father (putting that term VERY lightly) worshiped Death. The nihilist he was, wanted nothing more than to PLEASE Death–––even if that meant destroying her. By killing Peter. It happened so fast, she could feel her HEART beat pounding in her ears. Eyes barely blinking as she WATCHED the one person who broke through her WALL, the one person whom she LOVED so dearly, TAKEN away from her in seconds. If his heart stopped beating, she only PRAYED that hers would as well. But she watched, years ago, her LOVED ones SLAUGHTERED right in front of her. Watched as her people were killed with no WAY of defending themselves. And she wept and PRAYED that someone would save them, that someone would stop these CREATURES from continuing these VIOLENT acts. But the Gods she once knew, turned a blind eye. But maybe, since she had gotten OLDER, and a little more WISER, they would listen. They would HEAR her screams of agony. Hear her HEART breaking as she watched her Peter die. There had been a time when Thanos told her that the TEARS would never come again, that she wasn’t ABLE to cry any longer. But he had LIED. She wept when she witnessed the death of Peter Quill. Screamed at the top of her LUNGS his name, as though the sound of her VOICE would have saved him. But she was foolish. She was that WEAK little girl who had cried and PRAYED all those years ago, for a savior. But now, she only prayed for DEATH.
The tears didn’t stop STREAMING down her cheeks, Thanos had finally WON. Had finally used her one WEAKNESS against her, like he had been planning for years. And the CRUELEST thing he had ever done, was KEEPING her alive.
