"Xandarians." Rocket commented from where he sat with his scanner. "What a bunch of losers, all of them in a big hurry to get from something stupid to nothing at all, pathetic." Rocket pointed his scanner at a white haired male. "Look at this guy, can you believe they call us criminals when he assaults us with that haircut?" Rocket laughed at a passing man then looked to a child. "What is this thing? Look how it thinks it's so cool. It's not cool to get help. Walk by yourself you little gargoyle!"

"It's a child Rocket, they tend to need help from time to time." Rhea said from where she was laying on her back on the edge of the fountain enjoying the warmth of the suns. Her jacket was baled up under her head for a pillow as her hands rested on her stomach.

"Whatever." Rocket looked up at an old man flirting with a young woman. "Look at Mr. Smiles over here, where's your wife old man, what a class A pervert." Rocket started to laugh. "Right Groot, Rhea?"

"You got me there." Rhea conceded then Rocket saw Groot drinking from the fountain.

"Don't drink fountain water you idiot, that's disgusting!" Rocket snapped at him, but Groot shook his head. "Yes you did, I just saw you doing it. Why are you lying?" Suddenly the scanner went off. "Whoop, looks like we got one."

"Sweet." Rhea sat up pulling on her jacket.

"Ok humie, how bad does someone want to find you?" Rocket worked the scanner. "40,000 units?!"

"Holy crap." Rhea looked wide eyed at the scanner, then saw his picture. "Peter Quill, he's cute."

"He's worth a ton." Rocket said shooting her a look. "No keeping."

"Oh come on, those last few people were either legitimately innocent or extremely adorable, I couldn't help it." Rhea defended herself, but Rocket continued to glare. "Fine, we turn him in."

"I am Groot." Groot said.

"I am not a soft touch." Rhea glared.

"In most cases you are, I admit you're scary as heck when someone provokes you, but as a rule, you're a bleeding heart." Rocket teased her.

"I hate it when you two gang up on me." Rhea pouted. "What did he do?"

"Who cares, we're going to be rich." Rocket smiled then saw Groot drinking from the fountain again and shook his head with a groan.

"Groot, out of the fountain, we got a job." Rhea said standing to her feet. "Rocket you tracking him?"

"Yeah, I got him." Rocket replied. "He's having an altercation with some green chick."

"Well let's bag him and tag him before she does." Rhea said as they made their move Rocket tackling the woman right before she could stab Peter.

"Put him in the bag!" Rocket ordered Groot. "Put him in the bag!"

"No not her, him!" Rhea called out as Groot wrapped his vines around the green woman that Rhea now recognized with a sickening feeling.

"Learn genders man!" Rocket snapped at Groot.

"I'll get him, you to take care of that." Rhea raced after Peter easily flipping in front of him.

"Biting, that's not fair!" Rocket yelped as Gamora bit his hand then broke Groots vines that held her allowing her to grab rocket throwing him off of herself into a window.

"Sorry handsome, but you're coming in with me." Rhea smiled as Peter looked her over.

"Usually having two hot chicks chase after me would be a dream come true, but today it's just annoying." Peter grumbled as Rhea went to make her move, but before she could attack a knife thrown by Gamora struck the orb he was carrying making him drop it. The knife also almost hit Rhea who had to dodge to the side while the orb rolled along the ground and fell off the walk way.

Gamora jumped down to the lower level grabbing the orb as she ran. Peter used Rhea's distraction to his advantage jumping to the lower level as well before Rhea could grab him and tackled Gamora to the ground. Rhea rejoined with Groot and also made it to the lower levels, Rocket not far behind them.

"Fool, should have learned." Gamora snapped as she pinned him.

"I don't learn, one of my issues." Peter replied then he grabbed the orb and attached a rocket to her side sending her blasting off into a fountain. Quill stood up not noticing Groot and Rhea behind him until Groot threw the bag over him and picked him up.

"Good job Groot." Rhea said with a smile which Groot returned.

"Quit smiling you idiots, we're supposed to be professional." Rocket ordered them.

"Please, as long as we get the job done why be professional?" Rhea scoffed.

"You have got to be kidding me." Rocket groaned as Gamora pushed him aside and attacked Groot cutting off his limbs and slicing at his stomach making him drop Quill.

"Hey!" Rhea snapped. "Fulgur!" She blasted Gamora back with a burst of lightening knocking her out just as Quill came out of the bag shooting his gun hitting Rhea in the back causing an electric charge to force her to the ground. Peter snatched up the orb and ran for it as fast as he could away from them. "Rocket! Blast his butt!"

"I live for the simple things." Rocket smiled as he took out a large gun. "Like how much this is going to hurt." Rocket took aim at Quill. Rocket fire and Peter screamed as the electric charge hit him. "Yeah, writhe little one attacks my team and gets away with it."

"That hurt." Rhea whined as she set up still twitching from the charges while Groot whimpered looking down at his limbs that Gamora had cut off.

"It will grow back you d'ast idiot." Rocket rolled his eyes. "Quit whining."

"Rocket, be nice and don't worry Groot, I'll help you regrow your arms." Rhea said right before something hit her in the neck. Reaching up she felt the device and let out an annoyed groan as a light surrounded them lifting them into the air while they were surrounded by Nova Corp. ships. "Or not."

"Subject 89P13, drop your weapon!" One of the pilots ordered.

"Aw crap." Rocket said as he dropped the gun.

"This sucks." Rhea growled, arms crossed as she glanced over to where Peter was also being apprehended then to Gamora who was floating unconscious next to them.

"By the authority of the Nova Corps. you are under arrest for endangerment to life and the destruction of property."

"Fascist." Rocket scoffed.
