Searching
Drax carried Starlord on back. Quill's injury was serious and he was losing blood fast. Wanda apologized for her violent action and Quill took her apology with kindness. They were moving at a reasonable pace. They were close to the entrance of this run down town that this mysterious figure called Heimdall wanted them to go to.
Groot walked next to Wanda and Loki. His video game console was no where to be found so he needed to find a way to occupy himself for the moment. Groot came up with a idea and reached out with his long stretching arm. He quickly tapped Wanda on the back and she whirled around. Loki gave Wanda a weird expression.
"Sorceress," chuckled Loki, "The tree just poked you no need to get defense." Groot gave Loki a cold stare. Apparently, Groot did not want to be caught. Wanda just glanced at the tree and weakly smiled at him then walked forward to go mope somewhere else.
"My friends," boomed Drax, "We are here. Isn't it beautiful?"
"It looks shitty to me." pouted Wanda.
"I am Groot." spoke Groot. Drax glared at Groot.
"Traitor." he growled, "Don't agree with her!" Loki walked into the town. He smiled it was very chaotic in here. There were tumble weeds flying around and people scrambling to get to markets and other unknown agendas. Loki quickly slipped through the crowd and happily turned the corner. T'challa noticed this and groaned.
"Don't follow him." Drax uttered as T'challa was about to leave. "We need to stick together not apart."
"One of us has just left." spoke T'challa.
"He'll turn up eventually," Wanda murmured, "Our main concern is dealing with injuries." Quill's eyes were starting to get out of focus. Drax hurried to the nearest run down building that had a faint red cross hanging from the side, that was rusting. Drax entered the building along with T'challa, Wanda, Parker, and Groot. Quill groaned as Drax placed him on a nearby med table. T'challa walked towards a man who was in rugs for clothes. He stood at the counter where behind him were vials of medicines and tools.
"How can I help you?" asked the man. T'challa smiles at him.
"We need help with an injury." spoke T'challa pointing to Starlord laying on the table, "He was stabbed on accident." The man nodded and walked over to Star lord to look at his injuries. He sees the side that was pierced and nods to himself.
"Okay," he says, "That'll be fifty blood tokens." They all stared at him. They had no idea that there was a different currency. The man seemed annoyed by their blank stares.
"No cash, no help he," he said. Peter let his eyes wander around the building. It was sanitary and organized it looked a lot like a regular hospital except for it was only one room and there were tables instead of beds. Peter spotted posters near the stairway to upstairs near the right side corner in the back. One of them said "Kill 5 of these Ratagons, please."
Peter piped up, "What if we were to take out Ratagons would you be willing to take that as payment?"
The man thought for a moment then sighed.
"How about this?" he said, "20 blood tokens and the five Ratagons' hides that you capture."
T'challa looked at the Ratagons poster. The reward for killing the pesky Ratagons would be 120 blood tokens. He smiled. "Clever boy." thought T'challa.
"Alright." T'challa announced, "We will take down those Ratagons but in the mean time you heal our friend and half of us will stay here and the other half will get your payment." The man seemed pleased that T'challa didn't suggest them all leaving. The man wasn't sure if they would run away while he was healing their friend.
Peter, T'challa, and Groot stayed behind to watch Quill while Wanda and Drax were tasked with taking down Ratagons and getting 20 blood tokens.
Wanda and Drax observed the area in front of them. It was swarming with people running from every corner. Drax and Wanda had to go east where the beginning of the outskirts of the town would have Ratagons to kill. The ground beneath them grew rocky as they reached the outskirts of the town. Once they reached their destination, Ratagons were visible. They were creatures that looked like rats but had dragon wings.
Their red eyes filled with fear when Drax came charging at them with a knife. Wanda stayed behind and used her magic to take a piece of bark off a dead tree beside her. She spun the piece into a sharp needle and launched it at a feeling Ratagon. The Ratagon arched backwards in pain. It croaked before it feel to the with no life left in it. Drax picked up the dead Ratagon and smiled at Wanda.
Drax smiled, "Good aim."
"Thanks." smiled Wanda. Drax placed the Ratagon in a sack. He used his knife to pierce the skin of a Ratagon sneaking up behind him. He then placed the next beast in the sack.
"Two down, three to go." chuckled Drax gleefully. Wanda smiled. It was kinda fun to mess with these creatures. Wanda flicked her right hand up. She destroyed a nearby bush that a Ratagon was hiding in. Drax gleefully stabbed the beast and tossed it in the sack.
"Wanda..wanda." came a hushed voice. Wanda whirled around. Where was this voice coming from.
"Come." it beckoned. She turned her head towards the sound of the voice.
"come..come." In a way Wanda started to go into some trance. She began to run in a sprint. Drax followed her.
"Hey where are you going?!" shouted Drax, "We aren't finished yet!" Drax dropped the sack and dashed after Wanda. Wanda couldn't hear him all she could hear was that voice. She ran into a crowd knocking over people without even paying attention.
Drax struggled to get through the crowd. Once he made it through, he spotted Wanda turning a corner where a big worn down building stood. He reached the corner which was North of the town. He didn't see her at all. She had disappeared into thin air.
"Hey Drax!" came a familiar voice.
Drax looked up to see Gamora sitting on top of the building.
Gamora smiled, "You're not as invisible as you said you were."
Drax chuckled, "What do you mean? I am invisible when I want to be. How did you get up there?
Gamora sat on the roof looking down at Drax.
"It's a long story, so why don't you come inside?" she asked. Drax nodded. He opened the door to see many people standing around talking. He saw a few familiar faces. Mantis stood at one corner and Doctor Strange was chatting with this figure who was unfamiliar to Drax.
"Hello?" spoke Drax.
Hey guys! Finally got the chapter done! Also I promise the next chapter will take a little less time. So one question for you all. I might bring in some other Marvel characters that are NOT in the MCU. Would you be okay with that?
Have a nice day
