[ turns out? space doesn't give a single fuck about your circadian rhythm. or maybe insomnia is just that attached to her that even the absence of a sun dictating her internal clock doesn't faze it, like an old friend you wish would just forget you already.

one night (?) late into the early hours (???) marta finds herself drifting out of the room she's come to assume will be hers for the indefinite future, passing through stark white walls with all the sterility of a hospital, but none of its familiar chaos.

she's still getting used to the earpiece. still getting used to hearing other people's voices in her head. she doesn't mean to add another in the void, but one of her own thoughts blares out too vividly as she stares out into an actual void: ]

—but where are the stars?

Never. You might see Gamora around, she's not hard to stop. She has black to red ombre hair, and her skin is green. [ See? Easy to spot. Peter really hopes that this brings Marta some hope, it sure helped him a lot. ]

Usually, that's the case in mind as well. And you are right. But, uhm...I did die once, for five years at that, and I was later brought back to life. But to do so they needed to use magical space rocks, It's a long story. I don't want to bore you.

[ Peter's life is just so goddamn weird. Sorry, Marta. ]

[naloxone]

Magical... space rocks.

[ she makes a faintly helpless sound, almost a laugh. ]

I don't think that counts as boring. But I wouldn't want to make you relive something like that either.

However it happened, I'm glad you're back. I'm here because... I'd like to bring someone back too.

[spacedisaster]

Yeah. [ The corner of his mouth tugs up, as if he's trying to suppress a laugh himself. ] Sounds crazy, so I'll remind you that we're here to retrieve magical space balls. The Infinity Stones are powerful in a similar way but they're not sentient.

[ The orbs seem even more powerful, in fact, and it scares Peter a little. the things they could do in the wrong hands...he doesn't want to think about it. Bad thought, those, but he gives her a smile. ]

Thanks, Marta. It happened very recently for me. It's really weird to lose five years of your life in a blink. I hope you manage to accomplish that too. We will work all together to do that.
