As soon as the Futuristic Milano was at a safe distance, the Guardians of the present demanded answers.
"I...am more suited for that task" Said a familiar voice from the shadows, it stepped into the light and Rocket's eyes widened
"Another Groot?" Rocket said in surprise
The Groot chuckled "No, Rocket my friend...I am the one and only Groot"
Rocket had so many questions to ask his partner who was clearly from the future, judging by his aged looks
"And you talk" Gamora noted
"Thanks to tech for the future" Groot explained as he spotted Jacob who was out cold in the skull man's arms "Specter take Jacob to the med-bay" Groot continued. Specter nodded and carried the unconscious teen to the med-bay
"Well then...my friends, what do you wish to comprehend?" Groot asked and Quill spoke up before anyone else could
"Is Jacob my son?"
"QUILL?!" Gamora shouted with her face twisted
Groot chuckled as continued but Drax cut him off
"Where do you come from?"
"The future of course! Thirty years from now..." Groot explained as he got back to Quill's question "And...yes, Jacob is your son...from the future"
Quill's eyes widened and he gasped softly, the other Guardians of the past exerted the same response
"I will start by introducing the crew members, if that's ok" Groot said
"By all means Bud, go right for it!"Rocket exclaimed
"Right then!...first on my list ls Jacob Quill, son of Peter and his lovely wife Satele Shan...a Jedi master preserved by the force"
Groot explained the whole thing of how Satele and Quill met and he also mentioned Jacob's siblings and their unfortunate fates with Ben Quill's being that of a suspected Republic Spy against Malgus. Quill was saddened by the the fates of Richard and Ben Quill but had faith in Ben. Quill also couldn't believe that the Jedi were real but his son was evidence enough
"Next we have Specter and Lord Scorpius, the red skinned one that you saw, they are the sons of Gamora and Lord Scourge" Groot explained that Scourge was like Malgus, a Sith lord but unlike Malgus Scourge turned against the Sith Order and helped the Jedi and much like Satele he too was preserved by the force.
Groot then went on to introduce Firebreaker as the son of Drax, Silver and Cross as the sons of Rocket and Lady Lylla and Outrider was the son of Ranger. Conveniently enough Outrider passed by the Guardians to say hi, Outrider wore a snow colored hooded jacked that was zipped up. After a while a sweet voice called out to the future Groot,
Groot turned around and saw Alice standing there, she cocked her head to the side in that sexy way that she always did and smiled. She wore a sleeveless red shirt with a matching skirt with a pearl neckless, Alice's fur was light brown and neatly groomed, her body shape was flawless and her grey eyes sparkled in the Milano's lightning
'Dang that is one hot and sexy beast!' Rocket thought as his eyes widened, Ranger thought the same as well.
Lylla was in awe at the girl's natural beauty and wondered, who were her parents? She was raccoon so maybe the daughter of Rocket and Ranger's sister, Jen.
"Alice, may I help you?"
"Where's Silver?" Alice asked in a sweet voice that nearly hypnotized the Guardians
"In his room" Groot responded
Alice spotted the guest of honor and her eyes widened as she stepped forward
"Wow! You..you're the original Guardians of the Galaxy! I...I must say that I'm honored to meet you" Alice said excitedly as her tail swayed left and right in a sexy way that made Ranger blush. "Anyways...I can see that you are busy and, I'd best be on my way then...it's been an honor to meet you" Alice continued as she walked past them.
"W..who was she?" Ranger stuttered
"Alice bloodhound" Groot responded
"Bloodhound?" Rocket said as that name was familiar and then he remembered "Like...K-9 Bloodhound my nemesis besides Pike?!" Rocket exclaimed
Groot shrugged "People change..." that was seen by Rocket as an indication that K-9 would turn against Pike at sometime in the future...
"Originally...Pike wanted a person to rival you in the near future at everything so he made Alice...your DNA being the base of it all, Alice was meant to be a weapon to be used against you. But before Pike could activate her hidden programming, K-9 had betrayed him which ultimately led him to take Alice into his care and he raised her as his own daughter, but being K-9 his past disturbed many in Halfworld so many took their anger out on her and her childhood wasn't that bright to begin is something that Alice doesn't feel comfortable telling anyone, I know because I was there along with you, Ranger, Lylla and K-9. Fortunately there was one who...accepted her for who she was, and when he found out about her secret he didn't care"
"The poor girl..." Lylla said
"Yeah..." Rocket muttered
"Pike...that monster!" Ranger growled
"Who is this guy anyways?" Quill asked
"Indeed...he seems like a noble individual" Drax commented
"That is an answer for later my friends...now we must focus on Darth Malgus and his plans to destroy you, get plenty of rest, be free to mingle with the crew if you wish" Groot said as he walked away
Quill went into the med-bay and found Jacob sleeping, he brushed his hair back and kissed Jacob's fore-head
"My darling son..." Quill whispered, he found a picture in his robes and looked at it and smiled. The picture shows Jacob in the middle, with one other named at the bottom. Robert Quill was the boy on Jacob's right, Robert had Quill's hair but his complexion looked that of Captain kirk from Star-trek, maybe he got that from Satele. Robert also wore Jedi robes but his saber color was blue.
