Love for the Stars (Peter Quill Fanfic)

Chapter 16: Information

-Peter's P.O.V.-

We got the gas we needed. I don't understand why fuel has to be so expensive. But, once we refilled the tank, we got in the ship. We all crowded around the table.

"Well, what do we know so far?" Gamora asked.

"The guy that took her is named Alistair Zul. He's worked in the black market before and put a bounty on Suzie." I answered.

Gamora started to pull information up about Alistair Zul. "Alistair Zul, Xandarian. Ex-Nova Corps Officer. Betrayed them, went on the run. Sells women on the black market and has been known to keep women prisoner for his own enjoyment. Doesn't look to age so his age is unknown." Gamora read off the information. "This is important, his ship is the Mercenary and is usually seen at the planet Drore."

"That's enough information for me. Let's go." I said, walking up to pilot the Milano.

"Wait. There's more. He seems to have a crew of twenty-five men aboard his ship." Gamora added.

"Great, good to know. Now, let's get going." I repeated.

"What's the plan?" Gamora asked.

"Oh...well, I was just going to kind of improvise." I shrugged.

"We must create a plan before we go." Drax interjected. I sighed and walked back to the table.

"Okay. What do we do then?"

"Let's ask the furry-" Before Drax could finish, Rocket shot him a glare.

"Drax, we've talked about this. Don't call Rocket anything but Rocket." Gamora glared at Drax as well.

"Anyway, this guy, Alistair, is probably a lot smarter than we think. If he's got that many guys on his ship and could put a bounty of 100,000 units, then we'll need to think of something extremely smart." Rocket looked down at the little Groot.

Gamora nodded in agreement. "I agree. So, let's discuss. I don't think this Zul will let Suzie wander around freely on his ship so he will most likely keep her in a cell of some kind."

"Are we sure a cell? How would you know?" I crossed my arms.

"The information said he keeps other women. I doubt he would give all of them rooms to sleep in." Gamora replied.

"Right..."

"So, we'll need something to unlock it." Gamora continued.

"Alistair will probably have the key. Like I said earlier, he's not stupid enough to let one of his goons carry it around and unlock the cells whenever he wants." Rocket said.

"I believe secrecy would be the best action in this plan." Drax offered his idea. We nodded in agreement.

"But, if I see that guy, I might kill him. Just saying." I said. Everyone nodded again.

"Anyway, we're also going to have to find a way inside his ship." Gamora looked at us. I walked over to my screen and began to search for a copy of the Mercenary. It took awhile but I found one. I stepped to the side so everyone could see it.

"It looks as though we may be able to enter from above." Drax pointed at a little hatch that was on the top of the ship.

"What kind of ship has a hatch on the top of it?!" I whispered to myself.

"We don't know where it will drop us though." Gamora sighed.

"It doesn't matter. There's no easier entrance. If there's guys there, we'll have to drop the stealth and just go with the rest of the plan." I said.

"Right. So, will we just search for her cell?" Rocket asked.

"That's the only thing we can do. This Alistair guy is smart enough not to have the blueprints to his ship out for everyone to see." I leaned against the wall.

"So, we'll drop in from the top and split up to look for her cell. Then, we'll have something to unlock the cell once we find it. We'll get her out of the cell, contact the others and get out from the way we came?" Rocket explained.

"Well, what are we going to use to unlock the cell first?" I asked.

"I'll think of something." Rocket stared at the picture of the Mercenary.

"Will we just radio each other once we've found her?"

"I think that's the only way we could do it." Gamora said.

"True. So, we have a plan?" I looked at everyone and we looked around at one another. Then, we nodded. "Good."

"I'll start building." Rocket left the room to go build the device to unlock her cell.

"I'll start flying us over to Drore." I went to pilot the Milano.

We're coming, Suzie. Just hang on.
