After leaving Earth, I think I deserved a drink.
Flying a spaceship is pretty straight forward if you can drive stick.
Now I found myself at this bar, drinking my tenth bottle of I-don't-know-what. I didn't drink to get drunk and I could definitely skip the hangover and the bad breath. Drinking this stuff was the only thing to get my head straight. I slammed my empty bottle on bar. The bartender nodded at me and went to get me another of what I was having. I looked to both sides of me. Nobody was sitting at the bar. Every one was crowded around one corner.
The bartender came back with another drink. I thanked him an uncorked the cap then raise the bottle and took three large gulps. The bartender began to wipe down the bar.
"What's going on over there?" I pointed at the crowd.
"Some bloke said he took out an entire gang," the bartender chuckled. "If you've ever seen the guy."
I took another gulp of my drink; the only thing I could think about was Thanos.
Thanos where in the galaxy are you?
"Man I shot them with enough fire power to take out Titan." the storyteller laughed.
I got up and wiped my mouth.
"How did one raccoon do that?" one of the patrons laughed.
"You. just call me a raccoon." he growled.
I walked closer to the group and looked over at the table. Sure enough a racoon was on the table, now pointing his laser pistols at the man who offended him.
"I'll give you ten seconds to take that back." the raccoon commanded.
"I'll give you five to put away your pistols." he replied. "Also hand over the Floral Colossus you stole."
The raccoon was caught of guard. He carefully put down his pistols then gave them a potted plant that was on the edge of the table.
"Thank you very much," he laughed." Raccoon."
Four people followed him as he left the bar. The raccoon grabbed one of his pistols and shot the last one going through the door. The other three turned around.
"Take care of him."
"Whatever this is, take it outiside." The bartender said, carefully.
The three strangers pulled hoods over their heads and took out blasters, all taking aim on the raccoon. Everyone remaining around the table began to distance themselves from around the raccoon.
"Only me,"the raccoon said. "Well."
Lightning fast, the raccoon kicked both is blasters on the ground and took cover under the table.
My instinct took in I charged at the first hooded figure and grabbed them by their necks.
"Whatever you're doing green guy keep doing it!" The raccoon shouted, shooting down one of the other strangers. Their blaster bullets didn't harm me. I threw the person I was holding over the bar,the shelves of beverages and trophies crashed to the ground.
The last man standing stopped shooting, dropping his laser pistol to the ground. He was staring at me in the eyes, his eyes clearly told me he was scared. The raccoon did a full out sprint from under the table and shot the scared criminal four times in the chest.
"What are you waiting for my friend the last of his kind was just stolen and you're standing there like a-," the raccoon said. "Big, ugly destroyer."
"The name's Drax," I said. "It seems as if you stole your friend back there."
"Well that's complicated-," he said. "Are you going to help me then, Drax the Destroyer."
"I like that." I said, cracking my knuckles.
"We'd better get started then." the raccoon said.
"You never told me your name."
"Rocket, Rocket Raccoon." he said dramatically holding up his pistols.
"Well Rocket Raccoon do you want me to get the door." I laughed.
"Shut up I can get it."
"Sure you can."
I watched as Rocket Raccoon made an attempt to open the door for about half a minute before I just opened it for him.
"Shut it."
"I won't say a word."
