Here we are with the fourth chapter and going to keep these chapters short. Once we get to the Injustice parts they might go a little longer, but not too long. Don't want to do too much and do so little on these chapters. I do have other works to deal with.

Anyways, thanks guys so much for the reviews and support. I appreciate it and glad this series is going well so far. Also thanks to my friend for his help on the story. I appreciate it dude and glad how far it's going.

Now, again as I explained before this will be different from the game. The timeline will be different, the story will be a little different, and the ending…well somewhat different. But ultimately the happy ending is going to happen. For those who haven't played the game then you won't be spoiled, but for those who have played it don't be spoilers.

Now then, I don't own anything from Guardians of the Galaxy or the DC Universe. Just my OCs and enjoy the chapter everyone.

Chapter IV

Xandar (Year 2033)

The next day the leader of the Nova Corps welcomed the young heroes to their headquarters where they were rewarded for saving their word. The people were informed of what happened and were happy to know the Guardians of the Galaxy saved their planet. They feared that the monster would return to try devouring their world. However, the Surfer reassured the government of Xandar that the entity will be taken somewhere far away.

His memory of the world will be stripped thanks to Rachel who used her powers on the entity. Wiping away everything about their world, except for one detail. That he did devour it, no one stood in his way, and that he is full. Thanks to the Surfer she was able to do this without straining herself too much. And helping her put those details in his mind so he can be fooled.

Once that was done the team were brought in to be thanked and awarded for their heroism. The leader of Xandar could not come to thank the heroes, but had the leader of the Nova Corps thank the heroes.

"People of Xandar! We are gathered today to thank our heroes, the Guardians of the Galaxy for saving our world from the cosmic entity that tried to devour our world!" said the leader of the Nova Corp. She appeared to be in her 30s, long brown hair, pink skin, and purple eyes. "We thank you all for your help and for risking your lives to make sure our world didn't fall.'

The crowd behind the Guardians all cheered loudly. The team all stood on the steps of the Nova Corp headquarters all wearing nice clothing for the occasion. Well, except for Groot, but thankfully Kara was able to get him a nice black bow to wear to look nice. Groot appreciated it and stood next to his friends as the speech continued.

"Nearly 20 years ago our world was saved by the Guardians from Ronan the Accuser. I am glad to know that even years later this new Guardian team has returned to continue keep our world safe and we owe you a debt of gratitude," said the leader of the Nova Corp as she took the medals and began presenting them to the team.

Starting from Groot, to Laura, Rachel, Arthur, Aya, Kara, and finally Jason. "You know. Years ago your family saved my mother and me during the attack," the leader of the Nova Corp said to Jason. "My dad owed your family for what they did."

Jason nods in response. "I'm sure if they were here Ms. Duranna then they would tell you they were glad to be there to help. Just like I'm glad my team and I were here to help."

Duranna Dey, the daughter of Rhomann Dey who was once a member of the Nova Corp and even arrested Jason's father before. However, after their world was saved they left things on good terms. Duranna's dad retired and she became a member of the Nova Corp. Even becoming the leader after a few years.

Duranna turns to the people and continued with the announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen, let us give thanks to the Guardians of the Galaxy and let our celebration begin!"

Fireworks soon erupted as the people began celebrating. The team began joining the people as they celebrated with them. Groot and Aya went with Arthur to speak with some of the young cadets who wanted to talk to them. Rachel and Laura began speaking to some of the children who wanted to ask them questions.

This left Jason and Kara alone as the two slipped away from the party. Wanting to spend time together without being interrupted.

"I'm still surprise the government told the people the truth. We didn't need to be praised or rewarded for doing the right thing," said Kara as the two walked inside the facility and walked around. "

"I know," Jason agreed. "I think we've gotten used to just saving the day so much that we don't need to be rewarded for it. I think just knowing people are safe is the most important thing, but I guess they wanted to thank us and are happy that we were there for them."

"I guess so," said Kara who couldn't help but smile as they stop to see some statues that she recognized. "Think they'll make statues of our heroism like they did with your family?"

Jason looks up at the statues and sees how they represent his family. His uncles, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. Along with his parents Gamora and Peter Quill. All standing together after saving their world from Ronan the Accuser. All of this happening a year before he was born.

"Hard to imagine that your dad turned out to be the hero he was back then even after being raised by a bunch of pirates," said Kara until she realized what she said. "Sorry. I didn't meant for it to come out like that."

Jason shrugged his shoulders and lets out a small laugh. "I'm still having a hard time believing it myself. I mean, my dad used to tell me stories about my grandpa, Yondu and how he raised him. The training he put him through, the jobs they did, and how he threatened that his crew would eat him if it wasn't for him."

Jason lets out another laugh, which Kara soon joined in. She remembered Gamora telling her about that and how Jason's dad would argue so much with Yondu about it.

"But…even though they had problems my dad did say he looked up to Yondu for doing the right thing in the end," said Jason as his expression changed a little to a bit of sadness. "Even saving my dad from my evil grandpa and helped save the galaxy."

Kara remembered hearing about that part and the sacrifice Jason's grandpa did. How the evil grandpa was a planet that was a godlike entity that wanted to use Jason's dad to destroy the galaxy. Yondu coming in to help save him and helped him defeat the evil grandpa, which is why Jason was given the middle name. In memory of as Jason puts it…his real grandfather.

"In a way I'm glad my grandpa raised my dad. Both my grandpa, my mom, and my uncles helped my dad become a better man than he was before," said Jason as he lets out a small sigh as he looks up at his dad's statue. "I wish he was here."

Kara felt bad for Jason who lost his father at a young age. Much younger then when she lost her mother and her home. In a way the two have a lot in common. Both are children who lost their loved ones and try to continue living up to their expectations.

Jason wipes away a small tear from his eye and smiles at Kara. "Sorry. Didn't mean to go all sad and junk like that."

Kara shook her head in response. "I don't mind. I'm just glad things turned out the way they did," she then lets out a small sigh herself. "I just wish…I just hope Kal is being raised by good people like your family and one day I hope to see him."

Jason's expression turned to one of guilt. Years ago when he first met her she told him where she was from. What happened to her home, how she ended up in space, and that she was supposed to look out for her cousin. However, their ships got separated and she ended up in this world.

He felt bad for her and wanted to make her feel better. So, he promised her he would find a way to get her home. No matter what he would get her back to her world and reunite with her cousin. To keep her promise that she made to her mother.

Five years passed and he wasn't able to find a way to get her back. Using science and even magic to return her home. However, the wormhole disappeared so they couldn't find the exact world she came from. Each day that passes Jason was worried he wouldn't be able to keep his promise.

That was until his friend Arthur found a way to get her back, but they needed help to do this. Thankfully this mission was the key to do that and he was finally going to keep his promise.

"Well, what if I told you that day may be coming soon?" he asked getting Kara's attention. "You remember when I went to speak with the Surfer alone while you guys spoke to the Nova Corps?"

Kara remembers that. They confronted the Surfer who wanted to get the planet ready for his master. However, after fighting the team and after Rachel was able to speak with him, the Surfer decided to help them. While the team spoke to the Nova Corps to go over their plan, Kara noticed Jason speaking with the Surfer alone.

She asked him later what it was about, but he told her it was just making sure their deal was going to hold up. She believed him of course since she saw no reason in him lying.

"I convinced him to help bring me an item that we can use to get you home. Now, keep in mind this item was hard to find since it was locked away so no one else could use it," Jason explained as he took out a small sphere from his pocket. "This item was used on Earth long ago and it was involved in the Infinity Wars my parents told me about. So, once we use it to reunite with your cousin, we'll need to return it soon."

Kara couldn't believe what Jason was saying. He was keeping his promise. She was going home. She was finally going to see her cousin and he was doing it with an item that was used in the war his parents were a part of.

He was doing all of this and risking getting in trouble for her. She couldn't believe he was doing this to keep his promise to her. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around him and bring him in for a hug. Tears of joy began filling her eyes as she was finally going to go back to her cousin and see him again.

"Thank you so much Jason!" she replied happy for all of this. "I can't believe you're doing this for me…but won't you get in trouble?" she asked worried how this will go for him if the others found out.

Jason breaks the hug and shrugs his shoulders. "I'm sure I'll be in big trouble, but I don't care. I said I was getting you home and I'm keeping my word," he held her hand and smiled at her. "I want to make you happy Kara and I want you to see your cousin again."

Kara's smile grew bigger as she leans in and kisses Jason on the lips. Kissing her boyfriend for what he is doing for her and for the selfless act he is doing. Jason soon returns the kiss and wrapped his hands around her waist. Bringing her in to deepen the kiss and held his girlfriend close as the two got lost in the passion.

Kara soon broke the kiss though and stares at her boyfriend with one thing on her mind. "When do we leave?"

"Soon. I already had Aya and Arthur test the item to see if it will work," Jason explained as he puts the sphere away. "I also hope you don't mind, but I'm bringing the others too. They all want to see where you are from and make sure you don't decide to stay over there."

Kara couldn't help but let out a small chuckle knowing that sounded like what her friends would do. "I bet Laura would hate for me to go…or be happy I leave."

Jason chuckled softly. "I doubt that. I know she looks up to you and would hate to lose you. I also think we should leave soon before my mom finds out."

Kara stared at Jason confused and then worried. "Jason, she does know about the stone, right?"

Jason was about to respond when his communicator began going off. He takes it out and answers the call. "Hello?"

"JASON YONDU QUILL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" shouted Jason's very angry and enraged mother.

Jason turns to his girlfriend and sighed. "I think she now knows."

That's the end of the chapter and yep not good for Jason. His momma finding out what he is doing and she is mad. As far as the stone being used I will reveal which one it is. It's the Tesseract aka the Space Stone. This stone has the power controlling space, provide the user instant access to any location throughout the universe, or in the case of the story even be used to go to other universes.

So, yeah now you know which stone it is and no I won't call it the Tesseract. Going to be a pain to write it down a lot so going with the real name for it. Anyways, the leader of the Nova Corps she is the girl we saw who Rocket saved during the fight against Ronan's fleet. He saved her and her mother who are married to the John Reilly's character from the movie.

Had her appear, but she is older than the team and had to figure out how her age would be for the story. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and will be looking forward to the next one. Will have more time for the other team members to have their time in the sun. So, for now keep on the lookout for what happens next.

Now then, if you all liked how this went then please leave some reviews. If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review please. Those are not welcomed around here. I'll see you guys next time and take care.
