We watched as Ronan's ships came closer to the ground and Drax standing there ready to fight, and Peter yelled out, "You called Ronan?!" Then suddenly Peter and I heard some familiar voices.

"Quill! Kat! Don't you move!" Peter and I looked and saw Yondu and my brother heading towards us. Peter grabbed my hand as we made a run for it.

"I can't believe they found us." I said over the crowd.

"Yeah, no kidding." Peter agreed. We arrived at a place where there were small mining ships. Unfortunately, there were only three of them.

"You guys go. I'll hold off Yondu and the others." I said. Peter looked at me.

"No way." Peter said.

"Peter, we have to keep them and Ronan from getting this stone. I can't fit into these ships with someone and there's not enough for all of us. Please, I can hold them off. And Kraglin won't let anything happen to me." I explained.

Peter became annoyed and angry at the situation before he sighed and pulled me to him and kissed me deeply, like it would be our last. We pulled apart and he whispered, "You better take care of yourself."

"I will." I replied and ushered him to his ship. Rocket and Gamora got into there's, leaving me and Groot behind. "Groot, see if you can help Drax. I've got my own problem to deal with." I said, going off to find Yondu and Kraglin. After back tracking, I managed to spot Yondu and Kraglin. I quickly rushed and jumped in front of him. "Yondu! Krag! How have you been?" I asked overly excited.

"Kat, don't you screw with me." Yondu said and he was furious.

"I couldn't possibly screw with you." I replied back nonchalantly.

"Where is Quill?" Yondu asked. I froze and looked at him.

"Have no idea. We got separated trying to escape." I answered. "He could be off-planet for all I know."

"We know damn well that ain't true." Yondu said. "You two are connected like this." Yondu said crossing his fingers. "He ain't gon' leave you."

I just shrugged and suddenly, loud explosions sounded above us and we looked and I saw Peter and them fighting off Ronan's people. I looked at Yondu and Kraglin and Yondu gave me an unamused look. "Hey look, there they are. Bye, bye now." I said as I went to leave but that didn't happen as Kraglin grabbed my arm.

"Bring her to the ship." Yondu said. I struggled to try and get out of Kraglin's hand.

"Let me go, Kraglin!" I struggled.

"Sorry, sis, but I can't do that." Kraglin said and he did look regretful for how he was handling me. I stopped struggling and just followed him. Despite my situation, I didn't wanna cause Kraglin any problems although I'm sure he got plenty from Yondu. I should be nicer about it.

I was brought to the ship and the crewmen all mocked a welcome home for me. I just ignored them. They were a-holes anyway. "Take care of her until we find Quill." Yondu motioned for Kraglin to take me away. Kraglin nodded and took me away from the crew.

"What were you thinking, leaving like ya did?" Kraglin asked once we were alone.

"I was thinking I wanted to be free. Peter explained what he wanted to do and I went with him." I answered, sitting on a crate by the wall.

"So, you left because Quill left. That's basically kidnapping you." Kraglin exclaimed, his Xandarian accent coming through in spades.

"He didn't kidnap me, Krag." I yelled back, glaring at him, my own accent coming through. "He gave me the choice. He didn't force me to do anything I didn't want to. I wanted out Krag. Peter wanted out so we left." I admitted, getting angrier.

"But to betray the Cap like you did. That was just plain stupid." Kraglin explained and I sighed. There was no point in arguing. He wouldn't get it, his loyalty to Yondu was too great.

"It doesn't matter anyway." I said. "I don't wanna argue with you, Krag. Just know, that I was happy with the life I made with Peter. I know you don't like him but, he makes me happy. I love him." I finished and Kraglin was silent for a moment before sighing.

"Fine." Krag said. "Come on, I need to get back." He motioned for me to follow him and I did, glad we stopped arguing. He was the one person I never wanted to fight with besides Peter.

When we reached the flight deck, I heard the radio transmission and my heart froze. "Yondu! Yondu! This is Quill! My coordinates are two-two-seven-K-three-two-four. Just outside Knowhere. If you're there, come get me. I'm all yours." Peter...

The ships took off and headed to Peter's location. I hoped he was okay. We soon arrived at the location and my heart froze. Peter and Gamora were floating in space, Gamora wearing Peter's mask and him with nothing covering his face. "Peter!" I went to rush but was held back by some of the crew. The door to the ship was opened and it beamed Peter and Gamora into the ship. Yondu motioned for Kraglin and some of his men to pick them up. I was brought to a open area and watched as they brought Peter and Gamora into the room.

"Katty." Peter said. "Thank God, you're okay."

"I'm fine." I said back. Suddenly Yondu appeared and began beating up Peter while the others held me and Gamora back.

"You betrayed me! Steal my money!" Yondu yelled as he beat Peter up.

"Stop it!" I yelled.

"Leave him alone!" Gamora yelled as well.

"When I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted Terran before. I saved your life!" Yondu yelled and I rolled my eyes. Like we hadn't heard that one before.

"Oh, will you shut up about that? God! Twenty years, you've been throwing that in my face, like it's some great thing, not eating me! Normal people don't even think about eating someone else! Much less that person having to be grateful for it! You abducted me, man. You stole me from my home and from my family. The only good thing that came out of this was meeting Kat." Peter said, annoyed at whole ordeal.

"You don't give a damn about your Terra!" Yondu said, clearly ignoring that comment about me. "You're scared because you're soft, in here." He continued as he beat his chest where his heart was. "Here! Right here!" He then went to beat up Peter again until Gamora intervened, "Yondu! Listen to me! Ronan has something called an Infinity Stone."

"I know what he's got, girl." Yondu said looking at her. So he knew what was going on.

"Then you know we have to get it back! He's gonna use the Stone to wipe out Xandar. We have to go and warn them now or people are gonna die!" I yelled out.

"Since when do you care about Xandar, Katrina?" Yondu said using my full name. "You once said that Xandar could just disappear for all that you cared."

"I've changed." I said quietly.

Yondu shook his head and said to both Peter and I, "Is that what this woman's been filling both your heads with? Sentiment?" He then slapped Peter as his men laughed. "Eating away your brain like maggots! That's it." He said as he summoned his arrow and held it to Peter's neck.

"No!" I yelled as I struggled. Gamora struggling as well to break free.

"Sorry, boy. But a captain's gotta teach his men what happens to those that cross him." Yondu said. "Kat, you better say your goodbyes now."

"If you kill me now, you are saying goodbye to the biggest score you have ever seen." Peter said and Yondu smiled and turned to face Peter and said, "The Stone? I hope you got something better than that. Because ain't nobody stealing from Ronan."

I joined in by saying, "We got a ringer."

Yondu looked at me and asked, "Is that right?"

"She knows everything there is to know about Ronan. His ships, his armies." I continued on, motioning to Gamora.

"He's vulnerable." Gamora said right after, following my lead.

"Hey, what do you say, Yondu, huh? Me, you and Kat, taking down a mark side-by-side, like the old days." Peter suggested. Yondu was quiet for a moment before whistling his arrow away from Peter and began to laugh, along with the crew and my brother. Peter then joined in. Gamora and I were released, as was Peter. I rushed over and hugged Peter, him quickly wrapping his arms around me.

"Oh, you always did have a scrote, boy!" Yondu said, still laughing as we separated. "That's why I kept you on as a young'un." Suddenly the ship shook, like it was hit by something outside. We headed to the control room and a pilot said, "Captain, the shot was non-damaging." Peter, Gamora and I looked and saw the Milano outside the ship. I couldn't help but smile a little.

"Attention, idiots. The lunatic on top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer." Rocket said over the intercom. Sure enough, Drax was on top of the ship, holding a weapon of some sort. "It's a weapon of my own design."

"What the hell?" Yondu asked, confused.

"If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one!" Rocket continued.

"I ain't buyin' it." Yondu said, not impressed. But we knew Rocket, no doubt this was a real threat.

"I'm giving you to the count of five." Rocket said as he began counting down. Kraglin was about to give an order to blast the Milano but Peter, Gamora and I stopped them. I pushed Kraglin backwards and Peter took over the com, "Rocket, it's me, for God sakes! We figured it out! We're fine!"

"Oh hey, Quill. What's going on?" Rocket asked and we all sighed in relief. I think this just took 3 years off of my life.
