Part 1

Peter tapped his foot as he listened to the new group talent Walkman Records was planning to sign. Natasha discovered The Revengers after watching their videos online realizing they had a distinct refreshing sound people would love. Val, their lead singer, could tell a story through her voice while her bandmates helped bring the story to life. Thor, a tall not so handsome guy, strummed the guitar, Heimdall beat on the bass, and Bruce played the drums. They were a great group of individuals, and he couldn't wait to see where their career would take them.

Bucky sat beside Peter, listening to Val's voice as he adjusted a few marks on the soundboard. Once he was satisfied, he leaned back in his chair to enjoy the rest of the song. Peter mouthed along to Val's lyrics, getting lost in her song when someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Mantis, I told you not to interrupt us unless it's an emergency. Buck and I are in the middle of a session," Peter remarked, swinging his chair around to face her.

"Sorry, but there is someone on the phone saying it is an emergency and needs to speak with you," Mantis replied in a soft voice, looking a little shaken.

"Is it the same boy from Queens who keeps calling coming up with random reasons to get us to sign his girlfriend?"

"No, it's a woman. She threatened to break my arm if I don't get you on the phone right away."

"Okay, well that doesn't narrow it down," Peter sighed, running a hand down his face. "Did you get a name?"

"Gamora," Mantis whispered in a frightened tone.

"Sounds like something she would do. I'll take the call in my office." He stood up nudging Bucky to let him know he needed to take a call. Bucky nodded as Peter stepped out of the room. He hasn't spoken to Gamora since you broke up with him years ago, so why would she be trying to contact him now? "Hey Gamora, still threatening people I hear. What's it been like......seven years?"

"Yup. It gets things done faster, and it's pretty handy when it comes to my job."

"I heard you're a big-time lawyer these days, but I can't say I'm not surprised."

"Whatever, Peter. I didn't call to make small talk with you." Gamora paused. "I know you and YN didn't end on the best of terms, but I promised her that if anything happened to her I would call and tell you..."

"Wait, hold on a second--" he interrupted her "--what happened to YN?"

"She was in an accident this morning."

"Shit, is she okay?" Peter inquired, running his hand through his hair. "I mean, why would I care? We broke up years ago."

"Okay, I'll try to believe that." He could picture Gamora rolling her eyes through the phone. "I still haven't heard anything, since she went into surgery. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing at this point." She cleared her throat. "Can you swing by the hospital? I need to talk to you about something important."

"Ahhhh....what is this about? YN and I broke up ages ago. Besides, I'm at work, and I got a lot on my plate right now."

"I wasn't asking Peter, I'm telling you. It's the least you could do after breaking my sister's heart."

"You had to go there, didn't you," Peter sighed, staring down at his desk in defeat. He should know by now that Gamora never loses a fight once she starts one. "Okay fine, I'll be there in an hour."

"Perfect. We'll see you then, I'll text you the details."

They exchanged numbers before hanging up, and he went back into the recording studio. The room was quiet, and he noticed the empty sound booth. Nat must've taken them into her office to discuss the contract. He groaned, plopping down in the chair next to Bucky.
