Summary: quill copes with the fact after yondu died (takes place before the ending).

Peter just floated there in space. Having his dead father in his arms. Today was overall a horrendous day for him.

First, he failed again at convincing his love for gamora. Then, he found out that his dad was an evil douchebag trying to make everything him or some other bull. Then, he found out that ego killed his own mom. Then, he almost spent the rest of his live as a living battery. Then, he was saved by the guardians, yondu, nebula, and maybe mantis. Then, he had a massive battle with his father and the rest of the team almost died. Then, he doesn't have his powers anymore, making him human. But now, he loses his real father.

He wished he could've done something. He really wished. He rather die for yondu to live. Yondu actually loved having him around. Those final words of his made him realize. "I'm sorry I didn't do none of it right. I'm damn lucky you're my boy".

Back on the ship, everyone's losing their minds. Gamora is laying unconscious on the floor thanks to rocket. Drax is about to murder rocket for answers and is being restrained by nebula, who's almost in a mix of emotions. Groot is next to mantis putting his palms on her forehead to check on her. Kraglin isn't scared. He's also been afraid about the two. Quill and him were almost the same age when they met. They did a bunch of random stuff together. Yondu was also a father figure to him. He was terrified for there lives.

Rocket is looking on a device for any signs of life outside the ship. After what felt like mintues he found one.

Drax: ROCKET, WHERES QUILL!

Rocket (sadly): I know where he is.

Rocket heads up to take control of the ship. Which he does to get to them fast.

Peter's sobbing up a storm. Then, he remembered something during the battle. He remembered being walked by ego, destroying his space helmet. He began to cry even more because if he had better reflexes, yondu would possibly still be alive. They could've been guardians together. Going on mission, cracking jokes, having some real father son bonding. But he can't now. And it was his fault

Then, he sees the ship. He's both glad and even more sad. He swims into the ship with yondu still in his arms.

He falls flat onto the deck, waits for the gate to close. Takes of the spacesuit and throws it across the deck. Rocket and kraglin head down to see what's happening.

Rocket: I'm sorry quill

Peter doesn't respond

Drax: quill, you're okay

Quill throws himself into drax's arms. Drax did not expect this. Usually quill was not the throw into someone's arms type. Then he sees yondu and he understands what's happening. He gives quill another hug

Rocket picks at his teeth, he remembers yondu mentioning how similar they really were. He felt really sad

Groot: I am groot

Rocket: he is dead groot

Groot feels a wave of sadness flow through him. And hops himself to quills leg.

Quill let's go of drax and looks at groot.

Peter: everything's gonna be okay

Drax: then why are you sobbing like my wife giving birth to my daughter

Peter: it's a metaphor.

Kraglin picks up yondu's frozen corpse

Kraglin: we'll have a funeral tomorrow

Peter: thanks

Kraglin goes away to put yondu somewhere

That night, quill is barely getting an inch of sleep. He's only thinking about yondu's last words. He does everything he could. But nothing is working

Peter looked at the time. It's only 10:36 PM

Quill silently groans, and gets up and puts on a blue long shirt. He gets himself a cup of water silently filling it up. Then, he hears a noise. A rather quiet noise. He grabs a utensil next to him. He pushes a button on it, activating the raw energy of its power. He aims the knife at the persons throat. Making that person slightly Yelp.

It was mantis

Quill realizes what he's doing and puts it away and rubs his head

Peter: sorry about that

Mantis: no it's okay. I'm the one who should be apologizing, I was the one that scared you after all

Peter: yeah, that's true

Mantis: I'm sorry about you're loss

Peter: thanks

Peter goes back to his quarters but not before mantis saying

Mantis: well, I never knew who my father was. In fact, I never knew who I was before ego found me. I wish I could know

Peter: well, sometimes the thing you're looking for you're whole life was right there by your side all along

Mantis: I guess, I also supposed you needed help sleeping

Peter: oh please

Mantis: okay

Mantis goes into peters quarters as Peter laids on the bed. Mantis puts her hand in his forehead

Mantis: sleep

Quill instantly falls asleep.

So, I was watching Vol. 2 last night which is an underrated film in my opinion, and I noticed that after yondu died, we never know how quill got back to the ship. So I made this as my idea. Byeeeee
