Later, at the Nova Corps headquarters, Dey is speaking to Peter.

"When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system, so we had it checked out," the officer said.

"I'm not Terran?" Peter asks.

"You are half Terran," Nova Prime explains. "Your mother was of earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen here before."

"That could be why you were able to hold the Stone for as long as you did," Gamora theorizes.

"And Kata," Nova Prime continues as Rocket and Drax walk over to us. "We have no idea what she is. Your friends have arrived. On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Denarian Dey, he has something to show you."

The five of us thank the leader of the Nova Empire and chat amongst ourselves as we follow Dey.

"We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible," Dey says as he showed us a new Milano. "We salvaged as much as we could. I have a family who is alive because of you. Your criminal records have also been expunged. However, I have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future." While Rocket and Drax bother Dey, I examine the spaceship.

I guess, for better or worse, I'm a hero again.
