Hey guys. Just wanted to remind ya that this story is just for fun and I'll update it when I can. And none of the ages are in order. They're just random little shorts about Izzy, Yondu, Kraglin and Peter. I know the movies dont paint Yondu as the best father figure, but I wanted to have that a little differently.
So just for a little background. Yondu has raised Kraglin, Peter and is now raising Izzy. Kraglin was taken in at about 11 when he stowed away on Yondu's ship. And then of course the backstory for Peter is the same. With Izzy, I have the idea that she was sold or capture and kept as a pet. Peter and some Ravagers went to do a job and found her in a cage. Peter set her free, but coouldnt leave her since she was only about 3. So he brought her back to the ship. And after some conflict with Yondu about it he allows them to keep her. Yondu didnt want much to do with her but Peter was only 17 and couldn't take of himself let alone a child. And Izzy warmed up to Yondu better. So, he ended up becoming the father figure once again. There is a 17 year age difference between Peter and Izzy. And a 27 year difference between Kraglin and Izzy.
So anyways that's my little spill. Hope you guys enjoy.
"Boy. Go git yer sister. She's asleep in her room." Yondu drawls, walking away towards the mess hall.
Peter slips into the corridor that leads to the rooms belonging to the small family. Yondu has the captain's quarters. Kraglin has the room to the left of his. Peter's was across from Kraglin's. And right next to him, across from Yondu's was the youngest member, Izzy. Peter slowly opens the door. He didnt want to startle the five year old. If there is one thing that all the men dread, it's a cranky Izzy. She is the absolute worst when she gets that way. And that was only brought on either by being woken up rudely, before she's ready, or when she's sick. And Peter honestly didnt have the energy nor will power to deal with such a beast.
The small amount of light, let in by the crack of the door, casts on the sleeping girl. She was breathing shallow and her face was partial scrunched up. A clear indication that she wasn't fully asleep. Peter pushes his muscular body through the door, strolling over to the bed. He gently runs his fingers through the dirty blond hair.
"Hey pipsquick. Gotta get up. It's dinner time." He whispers.
Izzy whines. Her eyes crack open enough to level her brother with a glare before slamming back shut. Peter rolls his eyes at the child. She always has to make everything so difficult. He places his hand on her bony shoulder, giving it a dramatic shake.
"Come on Izzy. If ya dont get moving, I'm gonna be forced to tickle ya." He threatens.
Izzy's eyes snap open. She levels her brother with a mean scowl. Peter raises an eyebrow at her. A devilish smirk gracing his lips. They stare at each other for a second more before Peter pounces. His hand moves like lighting as it shoots out and begins attacking her rib cage. Despite the valiant effort of the girl, she just could not hold back the giggles and squeals that escape her throat. She wiggles under her brother's fingers as they ghost over her sides and stomach. Izzy pushes his hand away long enough for her to scramble off the bed. She runs to the door, stopping in the opening. She waits to see what her brother is gonna do. He turns, grinning mischievously at the young girl. He flinches at her, making her squeal and run out the door. A broad grin stays on her face as she looks behind her to see if Peter gave chase. She's not disappointed. With a low, playful growl Peter tears off after his little sister. The sound of heavy footsteps gets the young child more riled up. Delightful squeals fill the halls of the Eclector.
Peter gives Izzy a few more seconds of being chased before he reaches out and grabs her. There is a high pitched shriek, followed by insane giggling as she is flung backwards over her brother's shoulder. He has a tight grip on her legs making sure not to drop the wiggling kid. Izzy giggles, laughs, and squeals like a maniac as she watches the world go by upside down. Peter makes his way to the mess hall. He pushes the doors open, not even taking the time to straighten his sister back up. Peter just adds to the insane giggling, shrieks and squeals that vibrate off the walls as he digs his fingers into the sides of her knee.
Yondu watches the pair as they stroll through the mess hall. The loud endless giggling filling the entire room. He rolls his eyes at the antics of the two. He asked Quill to go get her up, not to rile her up even more. The Centaurian sighs deeply. He can't really complain because Peter is probably gonna wear her out. And if he does that then maybe she won't be so difficult when bedtime comes around in a few hours. The captain goes back to eating his food, trying his best to ignore the delighted, happy sounds coming from the girl long enough to not be caught smiling like a lunatic.
"Krags!" Izzy yells at the oldest as he walks by with his food.
She reaches her arms out towards him, hoping maybe he'll save her from their brother's assault. Her hopes are dashed as Kraglin grins at her. He stops long enough to ghost his own fingers across her exposed belly. She yelps in surprise, wiggling in Peter's hold. Izzy pushes Kraglin's hands away, pulling at her shirt, trying desperately to cover up her tummy from further assaults.
Peter's grip tightens as the wiggling intensifies. He grabs two plates, filling each up for the two of them. Once at the end he takes a second to lean down and get Izzy sitting back up. He sets her on his shoulder, wrapping his muscular arm around her thighs so she doesnt fall. He doesn't want to drop the food, and he definitely doesnt want to drop Izzy. He hands her his plate, since he only has one hand to carry things. Izzy takes it, holding it as tightly as she can. She doesnt bother holding onto Peter knowing that he has a strong enough hold on her not to drop her even if she would shift.
Peter walks over to the captain's table. Yondu watches as he sets Izzy's food down, but not Izzy. Yondu raises an eyebrow at that. His eyes stalk his trouble making kid as he goes off to a different table. He takes the plate from Izzy, setting it on the table before placing the young girl back on her feet. Izzy wastes no time, running back over to her daddy with a happy expression plastered on her face. Yondu sits back, watching the young girl as she pulls out her chair and climbs into it. She wiggles herself around till she's sitting on her knees. Izzy quickly digs into the food, grinning up at her father as she chews. Her big blue eyes sparkling with amusement. Yondu lets out a low chuckle, placing his hand in the back of her head and massaging his fingers into the scalp a little. He's amused by the young girl and her antics. Yondu leans forward, going back to eating his own meal, not even bothering to stop the mess that is ensuing beside him.
Izzy finishes her meals within a couple minutes. She sits on her bottom and looks around at the rest of the crew. She's looking for someone. Yondu watches as she scans the crowd. Her face scrunchies up in irritation at the sight of some ravagers. Others she could care less who they were. But some, some her eyes would light up. Excitement, fondness, love; they all showed within those bright blue innocent eyes when she saw certain ones. And she must of landed on one of those Ravagers. Her facial expression lightens up. Her whole body bouncing with excitement. Yondu looks to where her eyes have locked. Nearby is Kraglin and Czar sitting side by side. Those are two that have the privilege to get such a reaction from the small girl.
Izzy turns to Yondu. She pushes her plate away in a silent plea to be dismissed. Yondu scans over her plate noting that she has eaten most if not all the food. She always leaves a few pieces on her plate. She isn't a big eater, not like the boys were or are. Peter and Kraglin can eat their weight in food. Izzy though, she eats little amounts of food but it's often throughout a day. Yondu is satisfied with what she ate though. He jerks his chin up in an indication that she can go.
Izzy's smile broadens even more. She pushes herself away from the table, wiggling out of the chair. Yondu watches amusingly as she takes off towards Kraglin and Czar. She starts to climb up onto the bench seat, not even caring that there is not enough space between the two men to fit her. She jabs, elbows and pulls at the two men trying to get herself up. Czar, getting tired of being elbowed and pulled on, grabs the back of her shirt. He lifts her the rest of the way up, setting her feet on the small area of the bench between the two men. Izzy stands on the bench, leaning against her eldest brother. She stares at Czar, almost expectantly.
Czar looks over at the young girl. He's a big man. Standing close to 7 feet tall, very muscular. His hand easily covers Izzy's whole chest and abdomen. His skin is a green color; like an olive, whatever that is, Izzy always tells Yondu. Yondu is pretty sure that she has no idea what an olive even looks like, she's just repeating Peter in his description of the man. Just like when she says that he has pointed ears like Spock. Peter says it's an old terran space show that the science officer has pointed ears. One that Yondu knows for a fact that the small child has never watched. Most men turn the other way when Czar comes towards them. Not wanting to provoke the big man. But Izzy. Izzy wasn't scared of him. She says he wouldn't hurt a bug. And with her, she's probably right. Czar is very gently with Izzy despite his size. But he would snap anyone in half that would try to hurt the young girl. Izzy turns away from him, almost snubbing him, but she sports a mischievous grin. Czar turns back to talking to the person across the table from him, not knowing exactly what the little girl wants from him.
Izzy waits a beat before moving closer to the bigger man. She miraculously wiggles herself under Czar's arm that is propped up on the table. She turns herself around, setting her bottom on his leg and throwing her arms over his one arm. She leans out a little, grabbing a hold of Kraglin's jumpsuit sleeve. Kraglin turns to the young girl smiling at her. Izzy smiles before sticking her tongue out at the older man. Kraglin fans shock before getting within inches of her face. Izzy scans her brother's face for a second before sticking her tongue out again. Kraglin snaps at the young girl, baring his teeth. She squeals in delight, putting her hands on her brother's face to push him away. His grin widens as he start to nimble on her fingers.
Yondu chuckles at the scene, shaking his head fondly. He leans back in his chair, watching the three interact. A part of him wishes he had a chance to snap a few pictures from the scene. He has never been one good at taking pictures. He has very little from when Kraglin or Peter were kids. Sure he had a few more of Peter because Kraglin would snap some with different holopads when Peter would be doing something stupid, but hardly any of Kraglin. Izzy steals the show though with the insane amount of photos they have of the young girl and her ravager family. Once Izzy came around Peter was determined to take pictures over little thing she did. Kraglin wasn't much better about it either. The captain just wished that he was better about snapping a few than he was. He was a live in the moment type guy and rarely thought about even taking a photo to serve as a memory.
Yondu glances down at his holopad as it makes a quiet noise. It's a notification for a message. The captain grumbles a little under his breath not knowing who would be messaging him during his dinner. His eyebrows furrows together as he sees that the message is from Oblo, another member of the crew. He opens the message to see several shots of Izzy with Czar as she leans over him, of Kraglin baring his teeth at her, and where she tries to push him away a delighted expression on her face. She has her eyes squeezed shut, her shoulders brought up to her chin. One hand was covering Kraglins eye, forcing him to close it. The other is on his chin, close to his mouth as she tries to push him away. Kraglin sports a grin trying to evade the little hands. Yondu lifts his head, locking his eyes on the young ravager at the table next to him. Yondu gives him a slight nod in thanks. Oblo is a ravager that loves his daughter and she loves him. He's young enough for her to convince him to play with her, but he's old enough to be trusted to watch her if there is ever a time that all three Udonta men are needed on a job. Yondu saves the pictures to his pad. It's getting full of little moments like the one he just witnessed of his kids. Not that he minds. A holopad can easily be replaced and filled back up with more memories.
