All of these characters belong to Marvel except for Vixen, she belongs to me. Sorry if any of the characters are OOC.

The Guardians had just reached Knowhere and were there to get paid for a mission having to do with a bunch of guys building illegal weapons that destroyed moons. Peter was positive that Rocket had SOMETHING to do with it but he was too tired to really deal with it. They were heading to the bar where they would meet their payment and get some drinks to celebrate another mission completed as well as the 25th mission they had done with their new member Vixen.

"So Vix, what do you plan to do tonight?" Peter asked.

She looked back at him and smiled, "Dude I'm just gonna get my payment, drink some booze, and hopefully watch woman slap ya."

Peter rolled his eyes and sighed, "Gee thanks, I can feel all the love."

Rocket chuckled and looked over at Vixen, though Rocket would never admit it but he had become quiet close with Vix over the last couple of months. He studied her fennec fox form with her black zip up hoodie and jean shorts, her deep green eyes and black tipped tail. He often caught himself looking at her, which made little sense; he wasn't attracted to her, right, maybe?

"Rocket I swear if you don't stop looking at me like that I'll slap ya."

Rocket turned his gaze straight and frowned, "Sorry," he mumbled.

Gamora and Peter both shared amused looks and soon were at the bar. Drax went to gamble while Peter, Gamora, and Groot went to get their payment. Rocket and Vixen were at the bar and were making bets saying who Peter would most likely flirt and or sleep with that night.

"I'm telling ya Rocky, its gonna be the Kree girls," Vixen said with her arms crossed.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Fine but I'm betting on the blue chick, she's got the curves."

Vixen rolled her eyes, "Every woman here has the curves."

"Yeah but she's got the major curves."

"If you say so."

"I say so."

Rocket and Vixen soon turned their attention to Drax as he and the others around him cheered. Rocket smirked and turned to Vixen.

"Ya know Vix, I was wondering something."

"Oh, what's that?"

"Do you really think there are others like us out there?"

She was silent for a moment and then shrugged, "I don't know, maybe, you found me right?"

He nodded, "Yeah, I suppose so."

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason, just thinking."

She stared at him and took a deep breath, "Hey Rocky, I have to ask you something."

"Guys we better get going!" Peter yelled as he, Gamora, and baby Groot darted out from the back room.

"What did ya do now?!" Rocket snapped.

"I may or may not have started flirting with the bar owner's daughter and now he wants me dead."

"Overprotective much?" Vixen asked with her arms crossed.

"C'mon!" Peter yelled as he darted out of the bar.

Rocket rolled his eyes and ran after him along with Vixen and the others. They ran to the ship and Peter darted to the cockpit, Gamora handed Groot to Vix and then went to see Peter. Vixen looked down at Groot who looked up at her with a big smile.

"Does he do anything besides smiling?" she asked without breaking eye contact.

"Not really, put once he's out of his pot, or boot, then you'll see some real action," Rocket said with a smirk.

"Sounds like a date," she said with a grin, she then looked down and looked at Groot. "Now does baby Groot want some water?"

Rocket watched her leave into the kitchen, he frowned and let out a sigh, Drax noticed and looked down at his little furry friend.

"You do realize that if you do not talk to her soon you may lose your chance."

Rocket scoffed, "Talk to her about what?"

Drax gave him a stern look, "You and I both know what I am talking about."

Rocket shrugged, "If ya say so."

Peter ran his hand through his hair as he walked over to them, "Well I've just got a call from Dey, and they want to see us as soon as possible."

"Oh joyous day!" Vixen yelled from the kitchen.

"I suppose it is Vixen," Drax said with a smile.

Vixen chuckled as she walked out of the kitchen, "That was actually sarcasm, but I'm glad I made you happy."

Peter shook his head and started to walk towards his room, "I'm heading to bed, wake me up when we reach to Xander."

"We shall," Drax said before giving Rocket and Vix a 'goodbye nod' and left to sharpen his swords.

Rocket went into his room and sat down and started to work on a new weapon.

"So, we doing anything other than meeting Nova when we get to Xander?" Vixen asked as she sat Groot next to him.

"Don't know, probably hit the bar."

"Is that all you people do? Why don't you do something like, oh I don't know, maybe just walk around or something."

Rocket turned back to her, "You've never been to Xander have you?"

"So what if I haven't, I'm from the other side of the galaxy, remember?"

Rocket shrugged and turned back to his weapon. Vixen sat next to him and watched him, Groot soon fell asleep in Gamora's old boot that was now his pot, Vixen looked down at him and smiled. She stood up and picked up the little Groot and walked over to Rocket's nightstand and set Groot down.

"Hey Rocky, I'm gonna try and get some sleep, alright?"

Rocket turned to her and gave a nod, "Alright, night."

"Night," she said with a smile as she pasted him to leave the room.

Rocket watched her leave and soon frowned. He sighed and figured he should get some sleep to; he stood up and curled up into ball under his covers. He was curious about that strange feeling he was getting, it was like if someone was pushing his chest, and his stomach was in a knot. He had a thought about what it was about he would never admit to it, he sighed quietly and soon feel asleep like the others.

So just as a reminder, this is the sequel to Just a Couple of Experiments so if you haven't read that first you might want to. I hope you enjoyed it, and as always I'm sorry for any OOC characters and the misspellings and if the chapter was really long. I'll try to upload as soon as possible. Comments are always helpful and thanks for reading.:)
