WARNINGS: none yet
SUMMARY: catch-all for gamora and anyone that wants to meet/speak to her


Gamora was becoming more comfortable with life in Cadelle even if not everyone was particularly comfortable with her. She was still the only one that she was aware of that didn't look immediately Terran and was clearly from somewhere else. It's why she valued the friendships she had.

And the dog that Baby kept at B-Sides just had her thinking more and more about getting her own pet. For a couple of weeks she was one of those annoying people that kept visiting Best Friends Rescue and looking like she wanted to adopt a pet of some variety, but never quite able to decide what. A dog reminded her of Quill (it was a compliment, wasn't it?). A cat seemed more independent like her. They didn't offer up raccoons like Rocket, or little baby trees like Groot. Nothing was like Drax. Not that she should have been trying to recreate her crew with animals.

She had finally discovered the gun range as well, though the guns here seemed primitive compared to the weapons she was used to wielding. It also seemed safer to practice under a controlled environment rather than her apartment or anywhere else.

And then there were nights when sitting around reading up on Earth's history wasn't going to cut it, and she ventured out to the pubs and clubs, but her personal favourite was Good Times where they played the music she had decided was her favourite - nothing new, all the classics - and she could disguise her like of dancing by wearing roller skates and getting as lost in a crowd as a green-skinned alien could.

Gamora was becoming slightly better in smiling before glaring when she was asked a question by a stranger. It wasn't going to do anyone any good for her to quite so closed off to making friends when they were all trapped in the same city.

Though it was entirely possible that her encounters with Frank Castle had left her a little wary of anyone that was entirely human and what their reactions to her might be.

But the boy's question was harmless and she gave a nod before her smile increased just a little bit. "Very much so. It's a very strange activity but I do like it. Do you skate?"

[fadingspark]

"I can ice skate. Never really did good on the wheels though."

He's not weirded out at all by her skin color. After all, his best friend can shift into a werewolf, he dated a girl that he first met when she was a coyote, and his father's deputy can set himself on fire.

"Hi, I'm Stiles by the way."

[gardenofthegalaxy]

"I have not tried to ice skate yet. Is that fun?"

Gamora's smile became a little crooked when she realised just how well he was taking her appearance in stride. It reminded her of meeting Magnus. She did have to wonder what Stiles had experienced to make him so relaxed around her.

"Hello, Stiles. I'm Gamora."

[fadingspark]

Stiles nods. "It is. It's much easier for me to stop on ice too. They have little things that can dig into the ice to stop you on your toes."

Yeah, you would probably find his life tame compared to yours, Gamora.

Gamora looked down at the stopper she was using on the front of the skate to stay still. It was true that her other foot would drift from time to time. Blades and ice would be easier. "I think I better try ice-skating next."

She tilted her head as she considered him for a moment. "Do Terrans ever discover something new in a place like this? It seems like most of you are familiar with everything the city has to offer. Is that boring?"

[fadingspark]

"Well, I've only been here a few days so I'm not the best person to answer that. I can tell you though that I've seen food on menus I have no idea what they are or music I've never heard. So maybe there is? But it's not boring, because when you're doing it with someone, that's what makes it different each time."

[gardenofthegalaxy]

Gamora had to concede his point. "That's true. I suppose it's why I keep up the dinner dates with Magnus. He's been wonderful company for exploring all the food here. Good friends are hard to find."

[fadingspark]

"Ain't that the truth. But so far this place - people seem to be pretty easy to talk to."
