"I hired Yondu to pick you up, when your mother passed away." Ego begins to say as he stares at Peter, who sits besides him.

The group was standing around a bon fire as their surrondings were pitch black in contrast to where they are, sitting on dried up tree logs in the middle of the unknown planet.

"But instead of returning you..." Ego pauses "Yondu kept you and I have no clue as to why." He finishes as he brings a spoonful of food into his mouth, staring at Peter.

"Well, I'll tell you why." Peter says sadly as he looks at the fire with lost eyes. "Because I was a skinny little kid, who could squeeze into places adults couldn't, it made it easier for theivin."

"Well." Ego continues. "I've been trying to track you down ever since."

Drax frowns, "I thought Yondu was your father." He tells Peter, confusion on his face.

Sarah shook her head, "Yondu is not Peter's father, Drax."

"They look exactly alike." Drax says, looking at Peter and then back to Sarah, before shoving his spoon into his mouth.

Sarah sighs, frustrated as she brings a hand to her forehead, trying to fight back a incoming headache.

"One's blue!" Rocket exclaims, looking at Drax from his spot next to Sarah.

Drax turns to look from Rocket to Peter, expecting an answer.

Peter scowls, looking at Drax with frustration on his face.

"No, he's not my real father." He exclaims at him in annoyance. "Yondu was the guy, who aducted me, kicked the crap out of me so I could learn to fight and kept me in terror by threatening to eat me." Peter says, eyeing Ego.

While Peter was talking, Sarah was glaring at Drax and was about to yell at him, but stopped at Peter's words and turns around to see Peter looking like a lost puppy.

Sarah couldn't blame him for feeling this way, cause she was abused by her father for years until she was saved by Rocket.

"Eat you?!" Ego exclaims with his eyebrows raised.

"Yeah!" Peter replies, angry.

"Oh, that son of a bitch!" Ego exclaims as he shakes his head and puts his bowl of food down.

Sarah scoots forward towards the fire, to get a better look at the old man.

"How did you find us again?"

"Well, even where I reside out past the edge of what's known, we've heard tales about the man, they called Star-Lord." He says, chuckling and motioning to Peter and then Ego stands up. "What say we head out there right now?" He looks around at the group. " your associates are welcome, even that triangle face monkey there." He says, looking at Rocket for a moment, before turning back to Peter.

Sarah glares harshly at Ego for calling Rocket a 'triangle face monkey', before turning to her boyfriend, who's paws slowly rise up to his face and he touches his snout with furrowing eyebrows, but he relaxed as Sarah leaned down and gently kissed his head as she brought him to her side and turns back to Ego, who is still talking.

"And there...I can explain your very special heritage." Ego says as he looks at Peter with loving eyes.

Peter nods at his words, trying to get every piece of information that he can.

"Finally get to be..." Ego continues. "The father I've always wanted to be." He finalizes, proudness etched on his tone as he stares at Peter.

Sarah could only frown as she wonders if her father was ever proud to have her as his daughter, before he began ruining her life.

"Excuse me." He then says as he continues to look at Peter, before breaking eye contact. "I've gotta take a whiz."

Sarah cringed as the man walked away without another word, before she frowns and turns to Peter, who is looking at the fire and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Where did he say that we can go?" She questions, before she ate some of her soup.

"His planet." Gamora replies shortly as she watches Peter.

Peter shakes his head, putting his plate down on the ground.

"I'm not buying it."

Everyone stays silent, the crackling of the fire was the only sound in the awkward silence as the team looked at Peter.

Gamora breaths in, looking at Peter, "Let's go take a walk." She says as she stands up, followed by Peter.

Sarah watches them as they walked away from the fire, deep in conversation and then turns back to the remaining people.

"I am Mantis." The creature says, looking at Drax and her.

Sarah was surprised as the one now known as Mantis spoke, the terran thought that she was mute.

"You're...not a mute?"

Mantis turns to her and shook her head, before smiling with her nostrils widening and her lips inching sideways.

Sarah frowns as Drax, who was the closest to Mantis, slowly stops eating and turns to Mantis, looking incredulous.

"What are you doing?" Drax asks, emotionless as Mantis continues to make her face.

"Smiling." Mantis says, causing Sarah to cringe at this. "I hear it is the thing you do to make people like you."

Sarah sighed, before giving the sweet creature and smile of her own.

"Mantis, not to offend you...but that is not the proper way to smile, people will think that you are being creepy." Sarah says, before pointing to her smile. "You have to smile like I am."

Mantis stops smiling and looks down at the ground, making Sarah want to apologize for unintentionally hurting her feelings.

"Oh. I was raised alone on Ego's planet. I do not understand the intricacies of social interaction." She replies shortly, which make Sarah frown.

Sarah watches as Mantis turns to look at Rocket, who is licking his paw and looks back at terran.

"Can I pet your puppy?" She asks as she points to Rocket. "It is adorable."

Sarah's eyes widens in horror, knowing that Rocket only let's her pet him and that is when they are alone, cause he wants to keep some of his dignity in front of the others. Just as she was about to respond, Drax cut her off with a smirk, telling her quietly.

"Yes. You can pet him."

Mantis stands up, inching towards Rocket and then began petting him on the head, causing Sarah to start freaking out.

"Mantis..wait!"

But it was too late as Rocket started to growl as he turns around and snapped his teeth at Mantis's hand.

Mantis yells out in terror, jumping as she snatches back her hand.

Drax started roaring with laughter as Sarah scowled at him, before she quickly turned to Mantis as she calms Rocket down by hugging him close as her boyfriend was breathing heavily and glaring at Drax and Mantis.

"I am...sooo sorry about this, Mantis." Sarah said as she felt Rocket slowly starting to relax.

Then Drax turns towards Mantis between laughs, making out words.

"That is called" He pauses to laugh. "a practical joke!" he yells.

Mantis looks at Drax and starts laughing as she looked at Drax and Rocket.

"I liked it very much!" Mantis says as she laughs with him.

"I just made it up." Drax says as his laughter starts to die down.

Rocket and Sarah shared an glance, before they dumped their food on the ground and made their way into the ship without a word, too tired of the day's events to even do anything about the two weirdos.
