Guardians of the Galaxy, Alone

Ch. 2 "Convincing"

RavenClaw POV

I sat on the make shift bench or bed, my legs crossed as I had my eyes closed, meditating drowning out the noises of the other prisoners and guards,

Inside my mind, relaxing focusing,

The red and black planets and stars, it was peaceful, and dark, just like me and my people,

My people were called shadow walkers, but they didn't have my gift, pale skinned people who believed highly in a higher power,

They all had different skills ranking from flying, to strength, fire, all sorts of gifts,

But mine were always more dark, a gift from my father so my mother says,

I was finally at the peek of my focus,

When the silence was shattered like glass,

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I hear,

"Why wouldn't it be, if she knows a way out, why not ask," I hear,

"They call her RavenClaw for a reason," I hear

"I am Groot," I hear

I keep my breathing even, and steady,

Someone clears their throat,

I open one eye keeping the other closed, my hood covering my face,

"I am Pe-" He began,

"I know of you, all of you," I said

"How?" Gamora asked,

"Word travels fast, the walls are not exactly sound proof," I said closing my eyes,

I close my eyes again, concentrating,

"Word is it you know a way out of here," I hear

I sighed,

I opened one eye again,

"That is correct," I said in a dull tone,

"Help us, and we can get that collar off of you," Rocket said

"Why would I do that?" I said

"So you can get out of here," Drax said

I know of Drax, he's a legend,

"I have no people, no home, no family why would I want to leave," I said dully

"You would rather stay in prison then leave?" Peter said

"I have a bed, food, walls that will protect me, I am safe here," I said fully opening my eyes,

"I am Groot," Groot said

"Yes I know she's in denial don't need to point out the obvious," Rocket said

"Not denial, I am safe here, safe from harm, destruction," I said calmly

Peter Grabbed the bars,

"You are not living kid! you are what four and in solitary confinement in a prison!" He said

"I am six and I would rather be alive than dead," I said

My black cloak and hood on, as I looked at the group,

"Why come to a child for help, I heard stories of you Rocket escaping any prison," I said planting my feet on the ground,

"Yeah, but this is different more security and guards," He said I stood up my cloak swaying,

I sighed

"Get this off me and maybe I will consider getting us off of here," I said

Peter nodded they opened the cell and Rocket began his work on the collar,

After much of Rockets colorful language and Groot scolding him in his own language, Rocket finally got it off,

"Now help us," Gamora said

I nodded,

"As you wish," I said

My eyes turned black,

I stretched my arms wide, dark matter formed at all of our feet like water, and like quick sand we all fell though,
