No. Death was easy. But surviving this—walking from this room with every inch of her a weapon and every ounce of her strength ready to be channeled into making her sister pay for what she had done to her—that was the reason. The reason she had come through this alive and stronger. She felt her anger distill into one clear point of light inside her chest, a purpose for this new body. This new weapon. If she was a weapon, she would wield it. If she had been stripped of her heart, she would be stronger without its weight, its constant begging her to trust others, to pause, to hold back, to crave things she could not control. To beg for love she didn’t need. It was love that had put a gun in her hand, after all.

If her father had made her a weapon, then she would fight.

First, she would destroy him. Then she would make Gamora pay for killing her.

And then, perhaps, at last, she could belong to herself.

Anger.

It lived within her, filling her with purpose. It colored everything in her life an uncompromising red. So. Much. Anger.

Ask anyone who had ever crossed her path, and they would tell you the same thing: To say she was full of anger was like saying that the universe was full of stars.

It was and she was and that’s all there was to it.

Period. End of story.

Except it wasn’t the end of the story. Not hers. It was only the beginning.

Where it really all started was with a ship.
