Quicksilver hid the Milano behind a nearby planet and decided to do a little pranking before he slowed down. Once done he came running to the cockpit, but instead he ran into Logan's fist. He grabbed the speedy X-man and slammed him against the wall
"Ok Pietro you got 30 seconds to tell me how you got here?" Logan growled
"I...snuck aboard, and besides if it wasn't for me you'd all have been dead plus I swiped this small purple gem " Quicksilver said as he showed Logan the Infinity stone that he swiped form Darkseid, encased in a silver ball.
"You weren't supposed to be on this one...but giving the circumstances of what we just faced, I guess we owe you" Logan said as he loosened his grip and let Quicksilver fall.
"Yeah you do" smirked Quicksilver as he heard Rocket scream from down the hall
"What...did...you do!" Logan demanded
Quicksilver let Rocket's shampoo fall to his hand and smiled "Nothing"
Meanwhile on the lower deck...
Ranger and Lylla heard Rocket scream and ran to his room, Ranger opened the door
"Brother! is everything..." Ranger said as he stopped halfway, and began to grin as Rocket turned around
"WHAT...HAPPENED TO ME! WHY AM I PINK?!" Rocket said out loud as he panicked. Ranger looked down and tried not to laugh, but he just couldn't help it. He laughed and fell to the ground pounding the floor
"HAHA..Oh..you're PINK! HAHAHAHAHA"
Rocket sighed "Oh HAHA real funny big brother...now what did you do to me?"
"I..I didn't do anything! HONEST! HAHAHAHA"
Then Lylla came into the room and noticed Ranger on the floor laughing and looked at Rocket, she placed her hand on her mouth and giggled "Why Rocket...that's a...new look dear"
"Not you too"
"Rocket, honey, listen I'm not making fun of you...I mean...have you seen yourself in the mirror?" Lylla said as she started to laugh. Rocket looked at himself in the mirror and the more he thought about it the more he thought that it was funny. He chuckled and said "Ok..I guess I do look a little bit funny"
3 hours later...
The Guardians were introduced to Quicksilver, who cheekily admitted that he was the one responsible for Rocket's pink fur and changed him back to his normal brown fur. The Milano was drifting through space when The Martian manhunter and Green Lantern escorted it to HQ, when Quicksilver got off he was surprised to see Professor X waiting for him.
"Am I in trouble?" Pietro asked
"You would be, if I you hadn't received an invite to join a new team" said Charles
"and what team would that be?" Quicksilver asked cautiously.
The Flash, Jay and Thawn sped into the room and Barry spoke "Quicksilver right?"
"yeah...you're the Flash right?"
"Correct, you're to be transferred from the X-men to The Defenders of the speed-force temporarily"
"Cool...so do we have like our own base or something?"
"Star-labs,Central City...asap" Thawn continued as he and the other speedsters zoomed away along with Quicksilver.
