A kitten, really. He keeps antagonizing me all the time. And my team acts like teenagers around him.
Yeah, she is. Most awesome and badass woman I've ever met, present company excluded. She also used to have your same line of work.
With me, with my team....There's shooting when we go on missions as well, it's what happens when you have a trigger happy raccoon among your team-mates. You wouldn't be bored, that for sure.
I'm sure he would love to be compared to an adorable fluffy cat. I know he's not so bad when he keeps his mouth shut. Unfortunately, that rarely happens.
[ Say the guy who sings non-stop on a daily basis to music from the 70s. ]
I think she would have liked you too. Not well, actually. She's very good at erasing traces and hiding. I contacted the Nova Corps and the other Ravages because they cove more territory but so far no luck.
You've been working nonstop those last years, you deserve a break to enjoy yourself. And ice-cream. Everything is always better with ice-cream.
I'm sure you don't need to ask who's been talking about you.
I mean it too. If there is anything I can do to help, I will. Don't hesitate to ask.
[She doesn't send a response to that last part. Not at first. She did great? Had anyone told her that? She found herself staring at the text too long, before typing back...]
Rocket isn't so bad, for a foul mouthed space raccoon. [She couldn't say anything about doing great. She didn't feel like she did great...]
It's better than nothing. I've learned to appreciate the few good thing sin life, so I'll take it.
Let me guess, what it someone short, furry and with a tendency to make everything explode?
I will. We've been searching everywhere but Gamora has always best the smartest of us all. We're always a step behind her.
[ He does notice that she doesn't answer but Peter is sensible enough to not call her out on it or ask again. They can always talk in person one day, Peter knows form experience that dying isn't fun. ]
He grows on you, uh? The little bastard. I know how it is.
I suppose it depends on the situation. [She calls him Starlord because it amuses her, actually.]
That really should cause you more problems, blowing up everything. It's not always a good tactic.
It might not be the same one you came to know, but it's still Gamora. She's part of your team, and you seem like the type of person who would do anything for his team.
So, what your saying is they don't listen to you and do their own thing anyhow, hmm? [about blowing things up]
You'll find her. You found her before, you'll do it again. [soft encouragement. She really would look into all her resources to see if she could help, but earth was so limited. Maybe she can see if Carol has seen anything.]
Mostly. [ He can admit that much. ] I'm still the one in charge of the mess they cause, though.
[ The encouragement helps but it also makes Peter want to curl into his bed and listen to his music for hours because so far things hasn't been too great. ]Chances are that she will kick me in the goring a third time when I do. We went through a lot together, it's been four years...and now it's all gone for her. Back to square one.
We're family, looking after each other is what we do. Besides, their messes end being MY messes by virtue of being close. As for blondie...he's here.
[ Which means that yes, Peter will look after him too even if every time Thor opens his mouth he wants to throw the god out of the airlock. He would survive, anyway. ]
I'm starting to seriously consider following that advice. Maybe but not then! I was just happy to see her again.
[ Just let him shower you with friendship, Natasha ]
Maybe but now I am too old to change that bad habit.

What good way? Why are the handsome ones always the most annoying too, I wonder.
Isn't everyone like that? Or at least those are worth knowing, in my experience.
[ Nothing wrong with being amused, Natasha. Peter thinks life's better if you laugh at it. ]
Why not have both? You don't strike me as the kind f person who liked doing nothing for long.
<3
I try not to get to know people, if I can help it. It's easier in my line of business.
[She's bad at life outside of her life, okay?]
I suppose I will give you that. I don't sit still well.
♥!
Ah, you sound like Gamora now. [ And that makes his lips curl into a sad smile that doesn't reach his eyes. Good thing Natasha can't see it. ]
See? What you need are some entertaining vacations somewhere when you can shoot at things.
no subject
Gamora sound like a person who has it together.
Shooting at things isn't a bad idea. Are you saying an adventure with you is like a vacation?

Kittens have claws. They tend to antagonize in small annoying ways but deep down are soft. He's not so bad, in the long run.
I think I would have liked her. How's searching for her going, by the way?
Vacations tend to bore me, but I have to admit, you and your team doesn't sound so bad. It might be fun...

If it helps, i rarely believe people at their word?
Thor keeping his mouth shut is a rarity. I've heard the same about you however.
If there is anything I can do to help in your search for her, I would be willing to help.
The work needed to be done. Someone had to keep an eye on things.
no subject
It helps a little. [ But not really. ]
I talk just the right amount. But I'm not even going to ask form who you heard that.
Ah, thank you. I mean it.
And You did great, Natasha. HAs anyone told you that? Rocket likes you, which tell me enough.
no subject
I'm sure you don't need to ask who's been talking about you.
I mean it too. If there is anything I can do to help, I will. Don't hesitate to ask.

no subject
That would be telling. He does have a talent making things explode though.
It takes time when tracking the intelligent. Be ready for the long game.
[She doesn't take compliments well, especially when they are backing up what she thinks of as duty.]
He does grow on you. Surprisingly enough. Then again I've heard the same exact words about you.
no subject
Hah. Okay, fair point. Everyone in my team excels at that, it's like our super power.
I am, it's just...It's Hard. I already lost her once and I know she's from the past and not the same Gamora but at the same time, it's still her.
[ Nothing wrong about getting recognition for your efforts. People complains when a job is not done right, so the opposite is also necessary. ]
Yeah, we're like fungus :P
[
That was terrible, Peter, jesus.]no subject

Being a fungus isn't a compliment.
no subject
It's a last resort tactic, and I tried telling that to my team many times. But they hardly listen on a good day so I just roll with the punches.
Yes, I'll try. We nee to find her, even fi it's only so we can talk.
You still love us, though.
no subject
You'll find her. You found her before, you'll do it again. [soft encouragement. She really would look into all her resources to see if she could help, but earth was so limited. Maybe she can see if Carol has seen anything.]

We like you too, 'Tasha.
no subject
[She understands memory problems, though she knows Gamora isn't missing memories, she's just from the past. Still, she feels for him.]
Wear a cup. Protect yourself from the kick. Then again maybe you needed a good swift kick, hmm?
[She smiled at that last comment, but then rolled her eyes, looking away for a moment. Idiot. She typed back a moment later]
Liking strange people is what gets you into so much trouble, Peter.
