The hand extended to him only reminds him of Mantis and Peter, of his promise to them to help find Gamora. And he never will. He failed them before he even met them.
His heart beats fast, as he hooks his finger around hers - his hand is shaking, against his every attempt not to let it, to be stronger and better than he is. He feels like he’s gonna bust apart at the seams. His eyes hurt. Stupid. Stupid Peter, with your stupid emotional reactions—
Before she can question it, he darts up and out as the doors begin to close, far sooner than their stop should be. The question is, can she catch the surprisingly quick young man before the doors close on her and the tram pulls away down the track?]
