Staring downward she felt her stomach turn into a knot. She did not enjoy the idea of climbing down and becoming target practice like Quill had muttered under his breath. Her blue eyebrows pushed together in thought as she tried to decide the best route to take. Though it became apparent that Peter had some form of idea and it involved jumping onto the railing.

She stared up at him in disbelief but when he offered her his hand she couldn’t help but take it and join him up on the rail. Oh this wasn’t a good idea… her attention was looking downward as he spoke about how he might day and why the hell not. That statement was enough to draw her attention up to him only to have him press his lips against hers in a swift move but tender at the same time, as if there was some form of hidden meaning behind it… or she was imagining things and he wanted to get one more feeling of affection in case they day. Could she blame him? Not really, no. 

Her whole mind was in a daze for moment before she realized he said the word ‘jump’ and ‘ three’. By the time he was shouting three she was finally back to focus and she attempted to argue but he wrapped his arms around her with his helmet on and they jumped. Wrapping her arms around his torso, she pressed her face into his chest in worry as they tumbled to the ground. At the least second, she felt his boots kicked in that shot them up from the ground for a moment before it kicked off and they feel the rest of the way, the few feet wasn’t anything compared to the amount they should have impacted upon. 

Nikki sat up holding her head. Looking over him she reached over, giving him a smack on the arm. “That was a very stupid stupid idea! You could have turned us into lawn ordainments!” Her voice was half shouting and half playful before she climbed to her feet. “Come on we’ve got to get going.” She said pulling him off of the ground and starting down the red carpet at a sprint, the door behind them blasted open behind them and soon Gamora was in step with Nikki. “You alright?”

“Better than you.”  Gamora responded with a laugh.

“Oooohhh I doubt that.” Nikki responded with a grin, “I doubt that very much. “ The group scrambled up the loading and unloading dock and into the ship. 

“Quill we’ve got to go.” Gamora shouted as if Quill wasn’t going to the cockpit. She began to pull up the loading dock as everyone was inside and Nikki followed Rocket who led the way to some mounted guns on the ship while Quill took to the cockpit. Sitting up in one of the pods she put a receiver on her head. “Gun one locked and loaded.” She announced into the microphone to have Rocket respond. “Gun two locked and loaded, let’s get out of here Quill.”
