Chapter 335: Prison Break
16th May 2013, Klyn Maximum Security Prison, Nova Empire
(Jasmine Sayre POV)
The feeling of being inside a Jump Point was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was like being in the heart of a star, surrounded by some kind of pulsing energy that threatened to swallow us whole. I could feel the g-forces pushing against me as the ship hurtled through the wormhole, and I had no idea how a normal spaceship could hold up against something like this.
The feeling kept repeating again and again, through one portal after another, until we came out of the last one. The ship then flew towards our destination. We were probably half a galaxy away from Earth and I had never felt more alive.
When we finally stopped, we were met with a massive spherical structure floating in space. I asked the computer what it was telepathically and was immediately met with a hologram showing the details of this structure.
It was known as Klyn, one of the largest and most secure prisons in the Nova Empire. It had a reputation of being inescapable. Hela was reading the text from behind my shoulder and asked, "Now, what?"
I grinned at her, "Now, we plan a prison break, my dear."

"I don't like this," Hela complained.
She wasn't exactly wrong. We were both wearing orange jumpsuits, having infiltrated one of the prisoner shipments. I decided against being obvious while breaking into the prison in case it bit me in the ass later on. There's no need to cause a war between Asgard and the Nova Empire, or even worse, Earth and the Nova Empire. I chose to infiltrate the prison as a convict and not a guard because I needed Quill to trust me, and that was easier as a fellow convict.
I used my technopathy to alter the prisoner logs to include two fake identities, for both Hela and me and altered the guards' and prisoners' memories as if we were always there. All things considered, for all Klyn is the pride of the Nova Empire's prisons, and it was disturbingly easy to break into it.
I shrugged at my new student, "I know that you don't like the fact that we're technically imprisoned considering your history, but it's only for a little while, until we grab Quill and leave."
The Goddess of Death shook her head, "It's not that. It's just humiliating to even pretend that these things could hold me."
She pulled up her shackles, which seemed to be made of standard steel.
"You know that if I had said that we were enhanced in our files, they would have chosen better cuffs," I answered dryly.
"Still, there's a principle involved!" she protested.
I raised an eyebrow, "Are you telling me that you want to be restrained with better cuffs?"
Hela looked down and muttered, "You don't get it."
I simply shrugged because she wasn't wrong. I didn't get why that woman would ever want to have better restraints. It must be an Asgardian thing, something to do with honor, I guessed.
For some reason, while I was talking, Hela seemed to start snickering. I gave her a confused look and she pointed behind me. Inside, was a man in his late twenties with brown hair and a somewhat strong build. He was looking at me with a small smirk on his face, "Well, hello there, good looking. My name's Peter Quill, but I am mostly known as Star Lord."
Or the dude could just come up to me to flirt. I gave him an unimpressed look, "And my name is none of your business."
"Oh, come on, don't be so cold. In this place, you'll need all the friends you could have. And honestly, you two are two of the most attractive women in this prison and no matter how strong you are, you can't fight all the prisoners here. Even Gamora can't and she's very good. She's very lucky Drax wants to use her as bait against Ronin."
Hela tilted her head, "Ronin?"
I shrugged, "He's some Kree warlord that tried to come to Earth a few decades ago. Carol Danvers, a good friend of mine, destroyed his fleet in minutes and he ended up running away. Not that interesting of a guy, to be honest."
Hela nodded, disappointed. However, I had Quill's attention, "Wait, Earth? You're from Terra?"
I shrugged, "Yeah, I'm from London, but I live in New York right now."
"Seriously? I haven't been there in ages, ever since I was a kid really. I'm from Missouri, by the way. When did Terra start having space capabilities?"
"They still don't, not really. Oh, they could make something. I could see Tony Stark, or Reed Richards building a space fleet, but the planet's too divided for it to remain peaceful. Although, the general populace does know that aliens are real, especially after the Chitauri invasion about a year ago."
Peter was pale in shock, "Thanos invaded Terra?"
I shook my head, "No, he was repelled. I was actually part of the team that repelled the Chitauri. Neither Thanos nor his children were part of the battle, and it was mainly confined to a single city, so there weren't that many casualties."
"And how did you end up space travelling, by the way?"
"A psychopathic alien came to Earth with his ship and tried to destroy the world or something. I ended up killing him and took the ship for myself. So, I decided to travel the galaxy for a bit."
The half Celestial burst into laughter, "Well, as a Ravager, I do approve. But how did you end up in here?"
"The Nova Corps are assholes, that's all I'm saying."
From the loud laughter that Quill released, I knew that I said the right thing. Things were going well. Quill didn't seem to be a psychopath in hiding, just some wannabe rogue that fancies himself to be a captain.
Once I get to know him a little better, I was going to recruit him.
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice, "Quill, what're you laughing at?"
I turned towards the noise to find a small walking raccoon next to what appeared to be a man-tree hybrid of sorts. Hela looked at me, confused and spoke up, "I never met a talking rodent before."
Well, shit. And everything was going so well. It's my fault for jinxing it.
