Gamora took Nebula to lock her up and I took Peter to our room. "Are you okay, Pete?" I asked worried as he sat down on our bed. I sat next to him.
"I don't know. I don't even know who my Father is and everyone keeps asking me my heritage. How can I answer that when I don't even know what I am?!" Peter went on as he placed his face in his hands. I placed my hand on his shoulder in comfort and kissed him on the side of his temple.
"I'm sorry that you have to go through with this." I said. "But just so you know, no matter what your other half turns out to be, you will always be Peter Quill to everyone." I said with a small smile. Peter smiled a little and he kissed me lovingly and deeply.
"I love you so much." Peter said.
"And I love you. Always and forever." I replied. We sat there for a few moments, just enjoying the others company until warning alarms start going off. We both looked at each other and headed back to the flight deck. Peter rushed to his seat and I stood between him and Rocket as the others showed up.
"This is weird, we got a Sovereign fleet approaching from the rear." Peter said as he looked at the monitors. Why would they be after us though?
"Why would they do that?" I asked confused. We didn't do anything, did we? Besides Rocket being a smartass.
"Probably 'cause Rocket stole some of their batteries." Drax answered and we all looked at Rocket astounded and Rocket looked at Drax like he was betrayed.
"Dude!" Rocket shot at Drax.
"Right...he didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us. What a mystery this is." Drax said, trying to change his answer and I just rolled my eyes at the lame change. I got into my seat right behind Peter as Peter began dodging their blasts.
"What were you thinking?!" Peter exclaimed, still in disbelief.
"Dude, they were really easy to steal." Rocket answered.
"That's your defense?" Gamora exclaimed. No kidding, not a very good defense, although I probably would have found it funny if we weren't getting blasted at, threatening to be killed.
"Come on! You saw how that High Priestess talked down to us! Now I'm teaching her a lesson!" Rocket shot back.
"I didn't realize your motivation was altruism. It's really a shame the Sovereign's were mistaking your intentions and they're trying to kill us." Peter said sarcastically.
"Exactly." Rocket said, missing the sarcasm completely.
"He was being sarcastic!" I yelled from my seat.
"Oh no!" Rocket yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Peter. "You're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!"
"Can you put your bickering on hold until after we survive this massive space battle?!" I asked, trying to get them back on track before they got us killed.
"More incoming!" Peter said, dodging blasts.
"Good, I want to kill some guys!" Rocket said as he began shooting at the ships.
"You're not killing anyone. Those ships are all remotely piloted." Gamora corrected.
"What's the nearest habitable planet?" Peter asked. I looked on my monitor.
"It's called Berhert." I answered.
"How many jumps?" Peter asked once more.
"Only one. But the access point is 47 clicks away. And you have to go through the quantum asteroid field." I explained, becoming a little nervous.
"Quill, to make it through that, you'd have to be the greatest pilot in the universe." Drax said, voicing concerns.
"Lucky for us, I-" Peter started before being cut off by Rocket saying, "I am." He then took control of the ship and we flew through the asteroid field and it didn't take long before Rocket and Peter got into an argument about who was the better pilot with Gamora and I trying to stop them.
"Later on tonight, you're gonna be laying down, there's gonna be something squishy in your pillowcase. And you're gonna be like, 'what's this?', and it's gonna be because I put a turd in there." Rocket shot at Peter.
"You put your turd in our bed, and I shave you!" Peter threatened. I second that one.
"Oh, it won't be my turd. It'll be Drax's." Rocket corrected.
Drax then laughed and said, "I have famously huge turds!"
"Nobody is not putting any turds in our bed." I threatened. "Or I'm gonna kill every last one of you!" I finished.
"We're about to die, and this is what we're discussing!" Gamora exclaimed, equally annoyed and in disbelief. It sucks being the only two females in this group. Peter took over the flying but we got sideswiped by an asteroid which destroyed our weapons. Rocket made a smart remark and Gamora threw something at Rocket. "We still have a Sovereign craft behind us." Gamora said.
"Our weapons are down." Peter replied.
"20 clicks to the jump!" I monitored. God, this feels like it's been forever. I suddenly watched Drax leave, wondering where he was going but focused on the monitor. "15 clicks to the jump! 10 clicks!" I suddenly saw the ship that behind us, blow up. All right, Drax! "5 clicks!"
Suddenly a massive swarm of Sovereign ships came from all around us. "Son of a...They went around the field!" Peter exclaimed. Suddenly, just as quick as they appeared, they were destroyed. I looked around not knowing where the attack came from.
I looked at the monitor and said, "1 click!"
"What is that?" Rocket asked. I looked and saw a spaceship and it looked like someone was on top of it.
"Who cares? That's the jump point! Go!" Peter yelled. We then jumped through the access point and I looked at the screen and saw Drax still out there.
"Oh my God. He's still out there?" Gamora asked as she got up. I followed behind her. She was gonna need help. We both rushed to the rest area and just as Drax's lever broke, Gamora quickly grabbed it but was quickly pulled along. I grabbed her hand as we were pulled and I grabbed onto the edge of the ship and held on tight, all of us yelling. I shut my eyes, willing my body to hold on just a little longer. We crash landed through trees and we eventually came to a sudden stop and all three of us landed back into the ship.
Drax began laughing and said, "That was awesome! Yes!" I just groaned at the aching in my body. That was not awesome at all.
We all gathered outside the Benatar, my body aching from the impact, although I'm pretty sure Gamora is just as bad as I am.
"Look at this!" Gamora exclaimed looking at the ship. "Where is the other half of our ship?"
"My ship." Peter corrected and I gave him a pointed look. "Our ship..." That still didn't get him off the hook because I was furious like Gamora.
"Either one of you could have gotten us through that field, had you flown with what's between your ears instead of what's between your legs." I said angrily. Peter was gonna retort but I quickly interrupted him by saying, "Shut up, Peter!" Peter pouted and I groaned.
"If what's between my legs had a hand on it...I guarantee I could have landed this ship with it." Peter mumbled out seriously but with a joking tone added. I sighed, this was not the time.
"Peter, we almost died because of your arrogance." Gamora said, scolding him. Thank you, Gamora.
"More like because he stole the Anulax batteries!" Peter exclaimed, motioning to Rocket.
"They're called Harbulary batteries." Drax said seriously.
"No, they're not!" I said, groaning.
"Do you know why I did it, Star-Munch!" Rocket asked, getting pissed off as well. Why does it feel like Gamora and I were the only two competent ones right now?
"I'm not gonna answer to 'Star-Munch'." Peter shot back, annoyed at the name.
"I did it because I wanted to!" Rocket answered anyway.
"Dick." Peter shot back.
"What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up fifty ships!" Rocket explained, changing the subject altogether. That was probably a smart idea right about now. They went on to discuss the man that saved us although it was kind of funny that they called him the one-inch man just because he was far away when he saved us. Peter and Rocket then got into another argument after Peter called him a trash panda. I swear, how the hell did I end up in this situation with them?
I suddenly looked up and saw a ship come through the access point as well and Nebula must have saw it too because she said, "Someone followed you through the jump point. Set me free, you'll need my help." We all got into a circle, me standing between Peter and Nebula.
"I'm not a fool, Nebula." Gamora said, not even sparing her a glance.
"You are a fool if you deprive yourself a hand in combat." Nebula tried to reason with Gamora but Gamora was not falling for it.
"You'll attack me the moment I let you go." Gamora answered and Nebula froze for a moment before nervously saying, "No, I won't." That was such a lie.
"You'd think an evil supervillain would learn how to lie properly." I answered, watching the ship come closer. Peter agreeing with me with that statement.
"I bet it's the one-inch man." Drax said sounding excited. The ship landed in front of us and the door opened, revealing a man and a woman standing at the entrance of the ship. The man had gray/white hair and beard and was definitely muscular from what I could tell and he wore peculiar clothing. The girl next to him looked like an insect hybrid as she had antennae's on the top of her head and huge wide eyes with shoulder length black hair and wearing a green outfit.
"After all these years, I've found you." The man said, looking right at Peter and I looked at him confused. What the hell is going on?
"And who the hell are you?" Peter asked, suspicious. I placed my hand on my knife, just in case a fight broke out or someone attacked us.
"I figured my rugged good looks would make that obvious. My name is Ego...and I'm your dad, Peter." The man called Ego introduced and all of us froze. His...what?!
