"Knowhere." Thor informed them on the location of Thanos. 

"He must be going somewhere." Mantis noted. 

"No, no. Knowhere? It's a place. We've been there. It sucks. Excuse me, that's our food." Peter complained as Thor raided their mini fridge. 

"Not anymore." 

"Thor, why would he go to Knowhere?" Gamora asked. 

"Because for years the Reality Stone's been safely stored there with a man called the Collector." 

"If it's with the Collector, then it's not safe. Only an idiot would give that man a stone." Peter explained. 

"Or a genius." Thor commented. 

"How do you know he's not going for one of the other stones?" Gamora pressed on. 

"There are six stones out there. Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it last week when he decimated Xandar. He stole the Space Stone from me when he destroyed my ship and slaughtered half my people. The Time and Mind Stones are safe on Earth. They're with the Avengers." 

"The Avengers?" Peter repeated. 

"Earth's mightiest heroes." 

"Like Kevin Bacon?" Mantis asked. 

"He may be on the team. I don't know. I haven't been there in a while. As for the Soul Stone, well, no one's ever seen that. No one even knows where it is. Therefore, Thanos can't get it. Therefore, he's going to Knowhere. Hence, he'll be getting the Reality Stone. You're welcome." 

"Then we have to go to Knowhere now." Gamora said. 

"Wrong. Where we have to go is Nidavellir." Thor interrupted. 

"That's a made-up word." Drax said. 

"All words are made up." Thor said back. 

"Nidavellir is real? Seriously?" Rocket cut in as he jumped onto the counter. "That place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horiffic weapons to torment the universe." He said excitedly. "I would very much like to go there, please." 

"The rabbit is correct and clearly the smartest among you." Thor agreed. 

"Rabbit?" Both Rocket and (Y/N) repeated at the same time, confused. 

"Only Eitri the Dwarf can make the weapon I need. I assume you're the captain, sir?" 

"You're very perceptive." Rocket commented. 

"You seem like a noble leader. Will you join me on my quest to Nidavellir?"

"Let me just ask the captain- oh, wait a second, it's me! Yeah, I'll go."

"Wonderful." Thor smiled. Rocket quickly looked back to (Y/N). 

"(Y/N)? Can I go?" He pleaded quietly. (Y/N) smiled back with her arms crossed. 

"Take Groot and stay safe." She said. Rocket mentally cheered and quickly kissed her on the cheek. He jumped off the counter. 

"Uh, except for that I'm the captain." Peter said. 

"Quiet." Thor replied. 

"That's my backpack." 

"Go sit down." Rocket ordered. 

"Look, this is my ship. And I'm not going to- Wait, what kinda weapon are we talking about here?" Peter asked. 

"The Thanos-killing kind." Thor described. 

"Don't you think that we should all have a weapon like that?" He asked, gesturing to the others. 

"No. You simply lack the strength to wield them. Your bodies would crumble as your minds collapse into madness." 

"Is it weird that I wanna do it even more now?" Rocket asked. 

"Mmm, a little bit, yeah." 

"If we don't go to Knowhere and Thanos retrieves another stone, he'll be too powerful to stop." Gamora explained. 

"He already is." Thor replied. 

"I got it figured out." Rocket started. "We got two ships and a large assortment of morons. So me and Groot will go with the pirate angel here. And the morons, and (Y/N), will go to Knowhere to try to stop Thanos. Cool? Cool." 

"So cool." Thor smiled before he walked into the ship's pod. 

"For the record, I know that you're going with him because it's where Thanos isn't." Peter challenged. 

"You know, you really shouldn't talk that way to your captain, Quill." Rocket challenged back. Quill glared at him. "Come on, Groot. Put that game down. You'll rot your brain." Groot waddled over into the pod and the three of them clipped in their seat belts in. 

"I bid you farewell and good luck, morons, and (Y/N)." Thor waved as he repeated what Rocket had said before. Rocket winked at (Y/N) as she smirked back with her arms crossed. The pod dropped out of the ship and they were on their separate ways to Nidavillir and Knowhere. 

In the pod that held Thor, Rocket and Groot, Thor started a conversation.

"I noticed you shared moments of affection with the winged woman." He said. 

"Like I said before, you're very perceptive." Rocket replied, not exactly wanting to talk about his relationship due to certain people in the past judging him. 

"She's beautiful." Thor pressed on. 

"I know." Rocket agreed, sharply in slight annoyance. "What brought this up?" 

"Let me ask you a question, dear rabbit. Do you love this woman with wings?" 

"So what if I do?"

"This battle will be dangerous. Who know's who will remain once it's over? Cherish the ones you love, rabbit. Because one day, they may be gone." Thor said wisely. 

Rocket stayed silent and repeated the god's words in his head. It was true, this battle will be unpredictable. And he vows to try his hardest to survive it, to see his love again, once it's all over. 

A/N 

Wow, that ending was a little cheesy, but I liked it :) 

I know Rocket doesn't normally act like that, but I wanted to show a soft side of him. 

And what better way to do that with his gorgeous girlfriend, (Y/N)?

Hope you're enjoying the book! Here's a question for everyone: could everyone write down who they want (Y/N) to go with throughout 'Endgame' so I can plan for it? Thank you!
