( Amazing. Her head does something weird when he thanks her - tilting to the side and the line of her mouth becoming less harsh. Huh.. )
Don't make a habit of it.
( Which is to say that he's welcome and she'll come and save his golden hide as often as need be, although she's not consciously aware of the latter part. Not on any level that would register it as important. Grabbing his hands to yank him a bit forward - he can take it, she's not worried - Gamora begins to cut through his bindings. )
Did you at least get what we came for? No one saw me.
( So she can still do... whatever it is that needs to be doing. Probably. )
[ he looks offended in the way that adam can get when someone calls him out on his bullshit; his lips pressed to a line and corners of his mouth turns downwards, he frowns and only breaks that expression to indignantly, curtly voice his counter. ]
Delayed.
[ yes, because that's what he was. disrupted, delayed, any other d words that can mean impeded. gamora's sword is dangerously close to his arms for him to roll his eyes and not get threaten, so he deals with it and waits silently until she's done. just in case she was too busy making snippy comments to be careful of where she's cutting. ]
No. The leader was to come back for his version of personal interrogations, which I had intended to counter.
[ sure, he got caught. it doesn't mean he can't make up a plan on the spot. adam looks out from his containment unit and eyes the dead guards with an almost exasperated look. it would have been better to force their hand but this will do just as well. he bends and grabs one of the dead guard's hand. ]
Right. ( Delayed. Hah. Gamora arcs one brow up at Adam's decision to stick to whatever he thinks went down. She won't press it because arguing with Adam Warlock rarely is a successful endeavor and Gamora has learned that. Well. Sometimes. ) Sorry to ruin the party before it really got started.
( She's not. But then he says what he says and her skepticism only increases. ) . You need this hand.
( She repeats, but it doesn't stop her from taking the hand from him and cutting it cleanly off - tossing it to him casually. Alright Adam, impress her. )
[ he catches it in mild disgust/horror. he had expected it and the pragmatic side of him accepts it as a necessary deed, still the hand is very. fresh. he grips it by the wrist and moves on to the elevator that will take them to another level on this building. ]
I have discovered there are another containment units that has captured species from different planets. I'll need to teleport them out of here before I confront the leadership. It won't be necessary for you to stay with me while I do, so I'll be teleporting you out with the captured. You have to lead them to another ship to get them off planet.
[ slamming the hand against a wall panel, he unlocks another and uses the same detached hand to press in the level. he turns to gamora then and stares intently at her. ]
They need a way to escape this, Gamora. You have to be that way.
( Wow Adam, it's like you haven't seen a severed hand before. Gamora knows they've seen worse - they've been worse, after the Soul Gem. She follows him after cleaning off her blade on the nearest corpse, mouth wrinkling in a thin line of disgust. At the mess, not the act itself. )
That's all? ( She thought it would at least be a bit exciting. ) Don't be late to the ship or I'm leaving you behind.
( He will be late, and she will leave him behind. And then he'll teleport in next to her and wonder why she's not surprised. )
[ his whole face wrinkles at that but he doesn't comment at how trivial she makes her task sound. who knows what's up with her these days. the important thing is he knows she'll get the job done. ]
That's all. Stay on task. If I'm not there when you're done, leave. I'll find you.
[ never one for goodbyes, he leaves it at that and hands gamora the ...hand before teleporting out, and into the leadership stronghold. ]
