( Is he fine? Probably, maybe, totally. Completely. One hundred percent. And by fine, possibly burning away some of his life force with that new form of his, but that's likely nothing to worry about at all. Surely. )

Maybe Earth's gravity wouldn't reject him so violently this time. Maybe it'd be kinder. Maybe. Or, as always, he could be a fucking dreamer.

He was half of one.

It was close enough, right?

Like rotating a misshapen puzzle piece, trying to cram it into a hole where it didn't belong, just to get the space filled. To complete the puzzle.

The Terran planet named Earth. The one he'd sworn time and time again had nothing to do with him. Yet the yearning in his heart always kept it on his mind.

The place he was always kicked out of, but what was another hundredth try? It was where humans like him were supposed to be, right?

It was funny.

Like a running gag, a recurring joke.

His bleary, glowing eyes lifted from the crook of his elbows, just enough to see what was in front of him.

If time passed, he didn't acknowledge it. If change happened, he didn't acknowledge it.

He wanted to go home, more than anything else. But he didn't have one. He was an alien, he should stay in space. He was a human, he should stay on Earth.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
He hugged himself as each soundless sob racked his chest, digitigrade, metal-plated legs pulled upwards to curl himself into a ball-like shape. His metal bodysuit seemed to conform to him, becoming skin, encasing him. Cradling his too-human, too-alien self.

His entire body shook, metal fingertips— clawtips, gripping his sides as he keeled over. Eyes watered - both his eyes, his four eyes, his six eyes, splitting apart from each other as the stars themselves spilled from their edges.

The only constant he could rely on. As he found himself alone, his anger shifted.

Emptiness. Loneliness. Heartbreak. A hollow void. The undeniable urge to cry.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
He had already flown that far away from it. How easy it was, to just leave it all behind him. No wonder they left all the time.

The chill of outer space that now enveloped him was something of a comedic embrace, the warmest hug he'd ever receive from anyone.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
His vision was blurry as the frustration came to a head. As the ship drifted from his sight, the anger overcame him. Why should he bother trying to play hero in outer space, a one-man laughing act for everyone else? He didn't even belong here. What'd the universe ever do for him, anyway?

Peter activated his helmet's visor and hopped out of the airlock, into the darkness of space, the metal comforting against his cheek. As he pushed off from the ship, it was like something was finally clicking into place inside him.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
Peter headed to the airlock of the ship. It was on auto-pilot, traveling through the stars on her own.

He hesitated only a moment. His ship, technically, even if a certain someone always acted otherwise. Well, he could have it now. Isn't that what he always wanted?

He left his room. Left it unlocked. They would go into it and snoop regardless of whether or not he locked the door anyway.

Everyone was either out, or asleep. He knew their schedules, their whereabouts. Not that they'd ever given the slightest damn about his.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
One last look behind his shoulders was all he gave towards his room before closing the door. The posters, the stuffed tiger toy limply laying on his still wrinkled bed, the photos, the few precious possessions that escaped the previous ship clean-ups. It was the last time he'd see all of it.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
It was always his stuff that got tossed, and rarely without even asking him in the first place. Nobody ever offered up their things. Just pick on the human who can't offer up any defense for his belongings, who was too weak to be scary or fight back. It always came back to that, didn't it?
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
He wouldn't bother bringing any of his personal possessions when he left. He had no doubt they'd be thrilled to clear out his "junk" and throw it overboard, as they always threatened to do whenever the ship needed to reach a weight limit.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
He took only his element guns, his helmet, and the clothes on his back. He didn't even bother bringing along his jet boots - he wouldn't need them. And besides, they would only weigh his heart down.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
Everything he sacrificed or did for the team was considered the minimum of what a leader should be doing anyways.

Why did they always just get to leave? It was about time he got to.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
back to health and coax them back into some resemblance of a team, just in time to save the galaxy or some planet again and again. With no thanks to him afterwards. They would always pretend his accomplishments never happened, they were never grateful for the falls he took.
legendarystarlord.bsky.social
It wasn't like they ever gave him much of a reason whenever they left the team after various disagreements - oh, besides of course, pinning the blame on him, obviously. And then they'd leave him to pick up the pieces of their team, time and time again, to nurse their wounded ties
