"SHE'S NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD!"

A chair was slammed into the wall with such force it broke in half. Peter breathed heavily and sweat wet the bandage that was attached to his forehead. He grabbed another chair and slammed onto the floor.

The rest of the team and Nova Prime plus Dey stood in a corner of the damaged room. Just a few minutes ago they learned that it was never good to try and calm down an angry, ANGRY and upset Peter. Someone would eventually end up with a black eye and that unfortunate person was corpsman Dey, who was currently holding an icepack on his right eye. They all watched with hurt and sorrow as the worried father smashed another chair onto the floor.

"We should have known." Gamora mumbled, rubbing the area where she hit her head. She tried to ignore the tears that treated to stain her green cheeks.

Nova looked at the team with guilt building up in her chest. She turned her head at Peter and then back at the team. "No, guardians. It's not your fault. Its mine. If I didn't let you out, Lotus wouldn't have been kidnapped."

"Well, we are getting IT back!" Rocket said.

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Drax asked.

Nova looked at the worried guardians. "Haven't anyone of you thought that Crimson Red might be behind this?"

The guardians looked at each other with worry. It made sense. LOTS of sense. They turned their gazes back to Peter, who was sitting on the last unbroken chair, covering his head with his hands. He sobbed quietly. Gamora walked towards him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. He slowly spun his head around to look at the woman. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying. He suddenly felt a strange determination raising up. He got up and dried his eyes a little bit. "Nova, give me the fucking keys to my ship. We are going after them."

OOO

The ride through space was silent and awkward. It was a good thing that Peter knew how to track the Ravengers because otherwise, the guardians were in for and ANGRY Peter. He piloted the ship, mumbling courses and other bad-mouthed words. Rocket had never seen the half-human look so upset and worried. He was always so jovial and happy. The raccoon had to admit it was quite scary. He could have sworn he heard that Peter said he was going to decapitate someone. He even growled once. That was Rocket's job, not his!

Rocket started cleaning his favorite gun. He was pretty freaking sure someone was going to die today. And he didn't care as long as they found Lotus. Drax cleaned his knives and Groot drank a few cups of water. Gamora grabbed her sword and other small knives and armed herself with them.

"Better have your balls prepared because we are going in." Peter said. Indeed, the Ravengers ship was just a few minutes away. "Those bitches won't know what hit them."

He contacted the ship and Yondu was the one who answered. "Peter, my boy! What a surprise. What brings you to my ship? Because as long as I can recall, you weren't a Ravenger anymore."

Peter managed to put on a smug smile. "Oh, you know. I just wanted to visit, chat, that's all. See how my buddies were doing." He smirked. "Can I come in? I don't have the rest of the guardians with me."

Yondu looked behind Peter and saw no one. "Alright, but you'll leave quickly."

"Thanks, man." He cut off the conversation and Peter returned to his previous angry self. "Asshole…" His teammates got out from their hiding spots and prepared for landing.

He was granted permission to enter the ship. The Milano made its way through the vast opening of the bigger ship and landed softly on the floor. Yondu waited outside with a bunch of fellow Ravengers on his back. He gave an arrogant smirk as the doors of the Milano opened and Peter stepped outside with his usual smile.

"Peter! Long time no see. Came back to join the Ravengers again?"

Peter waved his hand casually. "Oh no, like I said…" Suddenly, Peter's mask covered his face. "I just came to chat."

Rocket, Gamora, Drax and Groot run outside the ship and attacked a few Ravengers, of course, they didn't kill them. Nova's orders.

"Never trust a thief's word." Yondu mumbled. Peter ran towards Yondu and punched him in the eye.

"Where is she!?"

"Where's who?"

"The baby you stole just a few hours ago!"

Yondu remembered now while he rubbed his eye. He was talking about the crying baby he gave to the red hooded woman. "Oh yes, the baby with big lungs. She wouldn't shut her mouth."

"Where. Is. She?" Peter asked more carefully. The Ravengers surrounded them, pointing their guns at Peter. The rest of the guardians were thrown inside the circle along with Peter. Of course, that didn't stopped them from pointing back their weapons to the band of thieves.

"The baby? I just gave her up to this red hooded lady that paid us one billion units for her. Nice trade, huh?" He smirked. "What's with this baby anyway? Seems like the world is falling apart for her."

Peter stood there unmoving. His mask wouldn't show it, but his face was that of pure terror. Gamora gasped and her fellow teammates just wanted to rip apart Yondu Udonta piece by piece.

"She is my daughter, you son of bitch." Peter whispered. There was a silence in the room. "And you just gave her to a psychopath that who knows what she will do to her."

Yondu wouldn't show it, but he felt a little guilty. "Well, congrats. I didn't know you were a father. Now that you mention it, I must say she looked a little bit like you."

Peter stood there unmoving, tears treated to fall but he couldn't show any weakness. He must stay strong for his little Lotus. Rocket growled, pointing his gun towards some Ravengers. "Just tell us where the fuck did you send that baby!?"

Yondu glared at the raccoon. "And she's important to you?"

"I'm her uncle, bitch!"

Yondu shook his head. "Well, that's just WRONG. A baby is being raised by a band of ex-criminals. That's so wrong." He said sarcastically.

Peter suddenly grabbed Yondu by his shirt's collar and slammed him against the metal wall. His mask slipped back, disappearing into a small device in his ear. His eyes were full of pain and anger. Yondu has never seen the man like this. And it was a little intimidating. "You takes us to where you left her and I promise I won't kill you."

Yondu gulped.

OOO

"Here it is."

A strange looking spaceship. It looked like Ronan's ship but with a dark shade of gray. And it was BIG. Peter turned to Yondu. "We are going to rescue MY daughter and YOU are coming with me."

"Why do I have to go!?"

"I don't know. Let me see… Oh! Right! Because you sold my daughter to that red hooded bitch!" Peter threw his hands in the air.

"I said I was sorry!"

Rocket pointed an accusing finger toward the blue skinned man. "You still sold a baby! And that is WRONG."

Yondu rolled his eyes at the raccoon. "Touché." He turned to Kraglin. "You'll be in charge for a little while, ok? And don't even try to blow up my ship."

Kraglin nodded.

Yondu turned back to face the still angry Peter. "Ok, when do we leave?"

"Considering she's my daughter and technically YOUR granddaughter, I'll say… As soon as possible, bitch."

I don't usually post an author's note anymore but I must do so today. I won't be able to update for the next seven days. I'll be traveling and I won't be able to take my laptop with me, but I promise that as soon as possible, I'll update. Thanks for reading and blessings for all of you.
