Petra was working on her blaster gun when Drax called out that they were nearing Nowhere. She placed the gun down and headed to the bridge. She was still in awe at how beautiful yet terrifying Nowhere was. Yondu had brought her there for her 18th birthday and before she knew it she was waking up between Yondu and Kraglin with a very bad headache. The red head had blushed and quickly got out the room, saying sorry over and over as Kraglin laughed.

"What is it?" Drax asked, never seeing anything like this.

"It is called Nowhere," Gamora answered. "The ancient severed head of a celestial being."

"They minded the head for all the rare materials you can only find on the black market," Petra said. "We need to be careful. Nowhere is a place that has no rules or order."

Rocket flew the ship into what was once an eye but now serves as an access point before landing. They followed Gamora into the town of Nowhere. Petra noticed a group of kids heading towards them.

"Careful," she warned. "Kids here have fast hands."

A little girl popped in front of Groot who leaned towards her. Petra turned back, smiling as the wooden man made a flower for the kid. She bowed her head slightly to him before following Gamora into the crowd.

"Your buyer in there?" Rocket asked as they walked up to what looked to be a bar. Petra smiled and wondered if Skippy was still bartending there.

"We need to wait here for his representative," Gamora corrected.

"This is not a respectable establishment," Drax said, disgusted. "What do you expected us to do as we wait?"

"Drink and gambled, my friend," Petra said, nodding to the bouncer as they walked in. Seeing Skippy at the bar, she slipped over and leaned against the bar, unaware that Drax followed her. "Hey Skippy."

"Well. Well. Well," he said, leaning in. "If it ain't little Pet. Whose your friend?"

Petra looked confused before looking behind her, seeing Drax. "Just a friend. Can I get two Black Holes, Skip."

"Coming up," he said before walking off and mixing the drinks quickly before placing them down in front of the red head. Thanking him, Petra grabbed the drinks and handed one to Drax. She walked out to the patio, sipping the drink as Drax headed towards one of the gambling tables and started playing. The boys gambled as the girls sat and waited before the buyer. After finishing the drink, Petra headed towards a fueling station, getting the ship ready before heading back. She noticed that Gamora was outside and headed towards her. Gamora ignored the other girl while she cleaned and sharpened her blade.

Petra looked at her, asking, "What is your story?"

Gamora stopped and looked towards the red head. "What do you mean?"

"Why do this?"

Gamora told the other woman what Thanos had done to her and her family and how she didn't want others to suffer as well. Then the green woman asked what her story was. Petra was taken back but before she could tell her story, Petra noticed that the boys were fighting. She quickly ran in and tried to pull them a part before grabbing a bucket from Skippy and throwing it on them. Drax, Groot and Rocket pulled away from each other, ice cold water dripping from them.

"What the hell is going on?" Petra screamed in their faces.

"This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about," Drax yelled.

"That is true," Rocket sneered.

"He has no respect."

"That is also true."

"Everyone clam the fuck down NOW," Petra ordered.

"Keep calling me vermin, tough guy," Rocket growled as Groot gently grabbed his friend. "You just want to laugh at me like everyone else."

"Rocket, you're drunk," Petra said walking up to Groot. "No one is laughing at you."

"He thinks I'm some stupid thing. Well, I didn't asked to get made," Rocket said, tears running down his eyes. "I didn't asked to be torn apart and put back together over and over against. Turned into some little monster."

"Groot, get him out of here now," Petra said quietly. Looking around at the crowd, she sneered, "Go back to fucking drinking." Drax pissed walked off as Rocket and Groot headed outside for some air.

A pinked skinned woman walked up to the girls and said, "My Lady Gamora, I am here to fetch you for my Master."

The girls followed the woman out. Groot saw them and followed behind them with Rocket sleeping in his arms. They arrived at the Master's dominion. Groot woke Rocket, setting him down before they walked in. The group looked at the different objects and beings in glass cages.

"We have the galaxy's largest collection of floral, arts, and species," the woman said as she led them towards a man. "I present you Taneleer Tivan, The Collector."

The man walked towards them, gently taking Gamora's hand. "My wonderful Gamroa, how lovely to meet you in the flesh," he greeted before kissing her hand.

"Let's bypass the formalities, Taneleer," Gamora said. "We have what we discussed."

The Collector noticed Groot and walked towards him, eyeing the wooden creature in front of him, "What is that thing there?"

"I am Groot."

"I never thought I would meet a Groot," the Collector said, walking around him. "Sir, you must allow me to pay you now so that I may have your corpse at the moment of your death of course."

"I am Groot."

Petra stopped Rocket before he could do or saying anything, glaring at the usual man in front of him. Seeing the red headed girl looked at him with eyes that seemed like that have seen more things than he could ever imagine.

"Show me the orb," the Collector said.

Petra pulled the orb out and handed it to him.

Meanwhile, Drax wandered Nowhere, looking for something. As he walked by a building, he heard someone ordering things and quickly looked around; spotting the communication station. The guy ordering things was unaware that someone was coming up behind him before a sharp knife was placed under his neck.

Drax growled in the man's ear, "I need you to send a message."

The man agreed and waited for Drax to tell him what the message was and who it needs to be sent to. His eyes widen hearing that Drax was sending a message to a very dangerous man
