10. Chapter 9

THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PUT UP WITH ME TAKING SO LONG IN GETTING THIS CHAPTER UP. I JUST COULDN'T WRITE ANYTHING FOR ANY OF MY STORIES. BUT HERE IS AN EXTRA LONG STORY FOR YOU.

I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE THE MOVIE VERSION OF GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY COME IN. I HAVE PETER AND GAMORA DOING THE GENDER-BENDING WHICH I GOT THE IDEA FROM TWO AUTHORS THAT HAVE GIVEN ME PERMISSION TO USE THEIR IDEA. THE AUTHORS ARE kalina16 AND Luna Mallard SO PLEASE CHECK OUT THEIR STORY. ROCKET MAY SEEM A LITTLE OUT OF CHARACTER BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT MEHIRA IS A FORM OF WALLY WHO CAN MAKE EVERYONE LIKE HIM SOMEHOW. IN THIS STORY, ROCKET LIKES MEHIRA VERY MUCH AS SHE DOESN'T TREAT HIM LIKE HE'S A ANIMAL BUT AS SOMEONE WHO JUST NEEDS TO A FRIEND AND SEE HIM AS HIM.

IDEAS WOULD BE GREAT IN ANY WAY.

Chapter 9

Hank Pym glanced over at his daughter who was currently sparring with Clint and kicking his butt which only happened when Mehira was mad. The biochemist had heard what had happened at Cadmus and with Superman. Hank was very surprised that his hot-headed daughter had kept her temper around that moron. He had found out from Flash that Superman wouldn't even show anything other than total disgust at the fact that there was a clone of him and even though Superman didn't say but was thinking it that he wanted the clone now know as Superboy locked up or destroyed for fear of IT being evil.

Jeez, that thought made Hank want to puke and punch The Man of Steel in the face and he was a very non-violence but there was just something about Superman that made the size changing hero really want to fight. Hank just couldn't believe at how someone who always preached about justice was treating a child as that was what the Biochemist saw Superboy as like he was the enemy. Sure, Tony teased him about his pacifism ways but never to that point that he didn't belong.

Hank was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a loud cry of pain that sounded like it had come from a male. The biochemist turned around to see his 15 year old daughter on top of her Godfather whose arms were in a chicken wing. The biochemist rolled his eyes at how his daughter had taken down the trained assassin. Hank knew that when Mehira was born that he couldn't force his ways of non-violence on his daughter as she would be her own person but he did teach her to always think before you act. By teaching his daughter that, Hank saw that Mehira did only fight when she needed to but she did have a temper much like her mother when it came to defending someone or something that she thought was right. The Biochemist made a mental note that it did seem that it was a common typing that red heads had a temper but so far all the red heads that Hank had met were womam and all of them did have tempers and one of them wasn't even a hero but married to one.

"Jeez, Bug, are you really trying to break my arms or are you just using me as a practice dummy for when you take out Supermoron?" Clint asked using Mehira's nickname that he had given her when she was a few months old with a little pain in his voice from the hold Mehira was using. He knew of his goddaughter's massive dislike of Superman. Heck, the former circus performer didn't even like that moron and much like Mehira it was not because he was an alien but because he was just an moron.

"Maybe a little of both." Mehira replied with a very evil look on her face before she let go of her Godfather, got off his back and and let him up.

"Your really pissed off about what the moron did with Superboy aren't ya?" Clint asked already knowing the answer based on the way the young speedster glared at him.

"It just makes me so mad at the way Superjerk treated Superboy. I mean really, you thought that way that dad was treated because of him being a pacifist was bad but this was worse. Superass wanted to have Superboy locked up or and I never thought that I would hear this coming out of that guys mouth, he wanted to kill Supeboy just because he was a clone and could be a threat. A THREAT! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SOMEONE THAT NEVER ASKED TO BE CREATED WHO IS THE SWEETEST PERSON THAT YOU COULD EVER MET ALTHOUGH DOES HAVE A PROTECTIVE STREAK A MILE WIDE BUT REALLY HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LIFE OUTSIDE OF A TEST TUBE. AND THAT DUMBASS WANTS HIM KILLED JUST BECAUSE HE'S A CLONE. SOUNDS TO ME THAT SUPERASS DOESN'T WANT ANYONE RAINING ON HIS REIGN AS THE STRONGEST PERSON IN THE JUSTICE LOSERS! HELL, SHIELD TREATS THE BADDIES WITH MORE RESPECT THAN SUPERMAN DID WITH SUPERBOY. CLONE OR NOT, SUPERBOY IS STILL A PERSON! Thank goodness that Batman put a stop to the idea of locking up or killing Superboy. Mehira said/yelled as she as walked over to get a bottle of water.

Clint rolled his eyes a little at the teen girl's outburst. Mehira was know for her anger and for screaming her lungs out when she was pissed off. It was no secret that once Mehira always saw the good in many people despite their background do to her father and if she liked you she would defend you with her life. Plus the archer believed in what Mehira said about this clone of Superman. Just because you were a clone didn't mean that you were dangerous or a threat and based on what Mehira had told him, Clint could tell right away that Superboy was just trying in his short time of being free from Cadmus to figure out who he was and what he wanted in life.

Clint also know that Fury had Superboy under the watch list but was not listed as a threat yet but something told Clint that Fury wouldn't unless the clone did something really bad that he wouldn't be put under the list as a threat. The Justice League were even on the Watch list but not all of The Justice League were listed as a Threat but the ones that were working in the shadows to create a bridge between The League and The Avengers were only on the list as a watch which those League members knew about. Even Fury knew who really was a threat and who wasn't but it didn't hurt to be prepared. Clint could remember Flash when he had been told about the list at a sign of respect for him teaching Mehira how to use her speed where he was on the list ask the one-eyed man if he was related to Batman as they both were paranoid. Flash went on the list under the condition that who he was under the mask not be revealed as he wanted to protect his wife and any kids he and his wife should have. Fury had agreed to that saying that even he had a heart and knew when someone was being honest. Fury also knew that Flash was from the beginning trying to mend the bridges between his team and The Avengers.

Suddenly a beeping was heard coming from something in the bag that Mehira had hanging over one of the doorknobs. The teenager walked over to her bag to pull out a phone.

"Hey Robin, what's going on?" Mehira asked as she listen to the young Bat talk. "Magic! Oh great!" The red head yelled/groaned into the phone. Mehira stayed quiet for a few seconds to let her young friend talk. "You want to know why I have a problem with magic? You may find this hard to understand but it does not have anything to do with the fact that I am a science geek but that fact that magic and I have never gotten along. I'll tell you later once we finish our rescue mission." Mehira replied as she flipped her phone off.

"What's up Bug?" Clint asked as he had only heard small parts of his goddaughter's conversation with Robin.

"Rescue mission for the former host of Dr. Fate who from what I could get was a member of The Justice Society of America back in Steve's era or it could have been a little later." Mehira told her father and godfather as she headed out the door.

Hank rubbed the bridge of his nose. He had a feeling that it would take all of the anger training that Mehira had been taught growing up to keep her mouth shut about magic. What Mehira had told Robin over the phone was true. Despite having grown up in a world of science Mehira did believe in many things that could not be explained by science. You would have to have that way of thinking when one of your godfathers was almost a god and another could turn into a angry big monster that could flatten you into a pancake and one was from the 1940s.

"I'll call Jan and tell her to have some Aleve ready cause I know for without a doubt that everyone is going to need it." Hank told the archer as he left the room trying to get rid of the headache that was starting to form and his daughter wasn't even home from her mission yet.

Clint sighed at the thought of Mehira around magic. The last time his goddaughter had anything to do with magic was when the kid was 13 and had a run in with Loki and that damn staff of his. The Avengers found out later that the Asgardian was under mind control due to Mehira bashing his head in when The Trickster God had tried to hurt Flash's wife who she was having a girl's day out with with a cast-iron frying pan so hard that it left a face print of The God of Trickery on the frying pan. Let it not be said that redheads don't have tempers. Mehira also had pointed out something about Loki that no one knew or saw, not even Thor. When Loki had attacked New York City, his eyes were blue but when he was on Earth when Thor had been kicked out of Asgard, Loki's eyes were green. Turns out that most of the time when you were under the mind control from the stone in the staff, it changed your eyes.

The gem that was in Loki's staff was actually something that was called an Infinity Stone. From what SHIELD was told by some of their space allies was that there was at least 6 known Stones in the universe. Each Stone had a different type of power. Loki's staff had what was thought to be The Mind Stone. Which would explain as to why The Asgardian was able to use the staff to control people and how he was able to be controlled. Thankfully, once you were under the control of The Mind Stone and freed from it's power, it could not be used against you again.

Several hours later,

The team had just finished their mission to rescue Kent Nelson who had sadly passed away protecting them. Mehira had put on The Helmet of Fate on for a few minutes to keep it out of Klarion's clawed hands.

Everyone seemed to be upset about the passing of Kent Nelson, everyone but the team's speedster.

"Why aren't you upset? You just saw someone die?" Artemis asked with a little bit of anger in her voice. She couldn't believe how the speedster in front of her was acting. It was like she didn't care.

"Why should I be upset? People are born and people die all the time. Besides, Kent's with his wife who hasn't seen in almost 10 years." Mehira replied to the archer as she grabbed a can of pop from the fridge. When she was in The Helmet, Mehira saw how much Kent loved his wife even though it had been almost a decade since he had seen. The speedster had seen such love from her parents who even though were completely different in many ways always loved each other and she had seen the love Kent had for his wife in her Avenger family and with Thor and Jane. It was a love that would never die no matter how far or how different you were. Petra Quill and Gamor of The Guardians of the Galaxy were proof of that.

"That doesn't mean that you can't show that you don't care!" Artemis screamed but went pale at the look that she was getting from her speedster teammate. It was a look that could beat The Bat Glare.

"Look, despite what everyone thinks or has been told. You CAN NOT save everyone! You will lose people. Kent Nelson gave his life for us even when he did not wear The Helmet of Fate. That is what being a hero is about even when you 'retire' you will always be a hero. You go out every mission knowing that you may not come back. You go out knowing that you will see someone die in front of you. If you can't handle seeing a someone die or seeing a dead body, than maybe you all should think about a new hobby cause you are going to be seeing lives be lost." Mehira replied with steel in her voice as she left the room.

Robin shot a look at Kaldur who gave a reply back with his eyes. They both knew as well as Red Arrow that the red head had seen death before this mission. The two did not now the entire story but all they knew was that it had been an off-world mission with The Avengers to a planet for a peace talk and needed Mehira to help when she was 13. Robin knew that his female friend was brought along do to her being very blunt and would get to the point with out mincing worlds. The mission had taken two weeks and when The Avengers had returned Robin and Kaldur had both seen a change in Mehira. She was very withdrawn and quiet. The two had later found out that during the talks a fight had broken out and during the fight Mehira had been hit in the back pretty badly. One of the members of the planet's armed forces had befriended the speedster and had protected her from harm when the fighting had gotten worse. Only when the battle had been stopped did Mehira see just how much her new friend had protected her. Her new friend had taken a blast that would have killed her and had died from his wounds.

Kaldur remember when Black Canary who knew who Mehira was went to talk to Mehira about what had happen only to get told to 'shut her whore mouth up' which was a nice way of what had been said and don't play head games with something that she did not understand and had used her speed to fling the sonic screamer out of her room. Black Canary actually had bruises on her body from the force of the speed induce throw. Which Kaldur did understand where his teammate was coming from. Mehira was the daughter of two of The Avengers, granted her father always tried to stop a fight in peaceful terms and her mother was one who did as little amount of damage as possible but the fact remained was that Mehira had come from a world where some of those she loved and helped raise her did kill to protect others and themselves. The water based hero could not insult Captain America as he was fighting to protect the world and had to kill and was also still out of his element with being frozen for 70 years. Nor could really insult any of The Avengers for what they did. They did what they needed to do to protect the Earth.

"How can she be so cold-hearted?" Artemis asked.

"She is not." Kaldur said as he walked over to where the female archer was standing. "Mehira does know what it is like to see someone die in front of her. This is not the first time someone had died in front of her protecting her. All I can tell you is what I have been told is that a few years ago Mehira was on vacation with Flash and his wife and had made friends with a member the army of the place she was visiting with her family and was ask by some nobles who were charmed by her persona to come to a party. A few hours into the party someone attacked and Mehira could not use her powers as she was not there as Kid Flash and she was injured very badly and could not move. Her new friend covered her with his body while fighting. When the battle was over, Mehira was going to thank her new friend only to find that he had a hole in the middle of his back. It had turned out that the young man had taken a stray blast that would have killed her when he was running to protect her. He died a few hours later. Mehira still blames herself for what had happened that day even when the family of young man had told and they had meant it that what had happen was not her fault and would never be. So before you go and say something about the way someone is acting, get all the facts. Mehira still goes for therapy for what happened." Kaldur explained with just enough to make it seem that Mehira was on Earth when the event happened.

Artemis felt horrible about what she had said. It all made sense as to why the speedster had acted the way she did in the alley and just now. Mehira didn't hate her as much as Artemis had thought. The speedster was making sure that no one on the team would die in front of her. While Artemis may have been trained by Shadows, she had never taken a life or had seen a dead body.

The archer began to realize that even though she and her sister had been trained to fight and kill since birth, her sister was really the only one that had really taken a life. Artemis had wanted to get out of being an assassin and always thought that she had a rough life but she had never really seen a dead body. Artemis also realized that throughout the entire mission to rescue Nelson that Mehira who was die hard into science had not ONCE said anything about magic not being real. The only thing that Artemis remembered Mehira saying thing bad about magic was that there were many things out their that could be explained with science and others could be explained with something else.

Artemis now could see that Mehira wasn't what she thought the speedster would be seeing as she was Flash's sidekick and Flash was know for his upbeat persona but while Mehira was upbeat Artemis also saw that the speedster knew just when to be serious when the time called for it. Then for some reason it hit the female archer like a ton of bricks. The speedster had known everything about her and had yet to tell the team which meant that Mehira was giving her a chance to prove herself but based on what had happened a little while ago, Artemis knew that she had just been taken down a few levels on the proving scale.

Meanwhile Mehira had left Mt. Justice to get some air. It was around 9 at night but the speedster wasn't worried as she could defend herself with out using her powers being that she was taught to defend herself before she even got her powers by her Godfamily. After 10 minutes of walking, the red head felt that something was following her so she just kept walking at her normal speed so not to let whoever was following her know that she knew that she was being followed. Something told her due to her training the speedster could tell that she was in no danger from who or what was following her.

The Speedster made several left and right turns as if to test if someone really was following her and someone was. Mehira had a guess who it was based on the sound of the foot prints being made. The speedster started to slow down just a little until who was following her was within arms reach. The speedster quickly turned around, bend down and picked up what was following her which turned out to be a raccoon-like creature but this raccoon was wearing a jumpsuit and had several gun strapped to it back.

"Hello, Rocket." Mehira said with a smile as she brought the alien raccoon up to her eye level.

The raccoon just smiled with a chirp back at the human that was holding him by his neck with out actually causing any pain in his back. She was one of the few that could do that.

"Hey, Bug." The raccoon replied with another smile only this time the smile showed his sharp teeth.

Mehira placed Rocket on the ground for a moment before she picked him up so that he could climb up on her shoulder in a more comfortable position.

"So what are you doing here and does Fury know you are here?" Mehira asked as she felt Rocket's claws dig into her back but only to the point that he was on her back to hold on and not to hurt her.

"Fury knows we're here although he's not to happy about it. But then again would you be if you had a large ship suddenly appear out of nowhere and crash land on your ship." Rocket replied with dry humor.

"What happened?" Mehira asked as she headed for Flash's house as it was too late to go back to her home but her parents knew that she would be spending the night with The Allens which was something that she did a least once a week.

"Petra happened." Rocket replied dryly. "She got really sick all of a sudden which was strange given the fact that last month she just had a full check-up. She's been puking her guts out for the last week and Earth was the closest planet and also her birth planet so Gamor thought that if anyone could help her it would the Terrans."

"Sounds to me like she has some sort of alien flu-like bug." Mehira replied as she saw the house of The Allens who knew of The Guardians but had never met them. Even though she was a speedster which causes her not to get sick a lot but she did once have a bad case of a Flu that made her feel like she was dying.

"Whatever it is, it got her bad. As soon as we crashed, Groot took her straight while almost running over some Terrans to the medbay where they treated her for a fever and other things. Fury's got her in isolation much to Gamor's displeasure but Petra was the one who told him to. As for me 'stalking' you so to speak I wanted to see what Earth was like as have never been here before. And the others also sent me to tell you what's going on." The alien raccoon said as he let out a chirp. The trigger happy mammal did like the young red head that was talking to him. For some reason Mehira was just someone who the Alien liked and that fact that she had seen him as him and not as a alien raccoon.

"Thanks for coming to talk to me and you should know that raccoons of Earth DON'T wear jumpsuits and really don't have guns on their backs." Mehira told her mammal friend as she walked up to the door, put her key in and opened the door.

"I wasn't about to go naked and unarmed." Rocket replied in his gruff voice.

"Who wasn't going to go what and what?" Barry asked as he came into the room and let out a very high pitch squeal when he saw the raccoon on the girl he was close to and really did think of a niece which Hank Pym was aware of.

"Don't pull out any weapons, Rocket. This is The Flash out of costume." Mehira said she felt the Raccoon on her shoulder reach for one of his guns.

"Wait, Rocket as in one of The Guardians of the Galaxy?" Barry asked as he kept a eye on the Mammal that was on Mehira's shoulder who was glaring and snarling at him but in a protective way.

"Yes. What?! You were told that two of Guardians could not pass as human." Mehira replied as she saw the shock look on her mentor's face.

"Yea, but he's a Raccoon." Barry said only to realize that he had just said the wrong thing as in less than a second after saying raccoon he was laying on the floor with a VERY large gun pointed in his face.

"I am not a RACCOON!"

"Rocket, let him up." Mehira said as she walked over to get the pissed of mammal off of the blond speedster.

Rocket narrowed his eyes at the human that was looking up at him and let out a snarl before getting off. "Don't ever call me a Raccoon." Rocket growled out before getting off the human and crawling back up Mehira's back to here he was resting his head on Mehira's red hair.

"I never thought that I would be taken down by an alien that looks like a raccoon and is trigger happy." Barry said as he got up off the floor and dusted himself off. He turned to see that he was still being glared at by the mammal on Mehira's shoulder.

"Be thankful that he's calmed down cause when I first met Rocket he would shoot anything that moved. Now it's only when someone pisses him off or calls him a raccoon which I know it what he looks like but he's not really a raccoon, he just looks like one." The teenager replied.

"What's he doing here?" Barry asked.

"Turns out Petra who is the leader of the Guardians is really sick and Earth was the closest place her team could take her and the fact being that Petra was born here does help a little." Mehira told Barry what Rocket had just told her.

"Petra is the one that is called Star-Lady right?" Barry asked.

Rocket nodded his head. It did seem that the human in front of him did pay some attention to information that he was give and had actually remembered Petra's nickname.

"Drax and Gamor are still on the SHIELD flagship along with Groot who is the other member that can not pass as human but Groot could pass as a tree though if think about it." Mehira told her mentor with a bit of humor in her voice.

Barry looked at Mehira weirdly when she said that the other non human-like member of The Guardians could pass as a tree.

"Short version, Groot is a member of a race of walking, talking tree like people that stands 7 and a half feet tall and can transform into a tree. Also very protective of his friends and family and can be calm one moment and very angry the next. But 90 percent of the time Groot's just a big baby." Mehira replied.

"So Groot is a talking tree right and can transform into a tree?" Barry asked as to which Mehira nodded. "Well, that may explain as to why I have a tree that is in my backyard that wasn't there this morning." Barry said in dry humor.

"Aw hell!"

Mehira and Rocket ran out the back door to see that there was indeed another tree that shouldn't be in the yard and looked to be breathing. The said tree also looked like it had an outline of a face in the middle of it. Mehira couldn't help but think of Grandmother Willow from the Disney movie Pocahontas.

"Groot, why don't you come inside." Barry said as he watched the 'tree' shrink into a humanoid like plant that was taller than him by a foot.

"I am Groot." The tree alien replied gently as he shrunk down to the size of a potted plant.

"He said thank you for the invite and also that he knew that I was coming here so he was checking up on me and that he had heard of being one of The League members that was trying to mend the broken road so to speak and also that he needed to feed." Mehira replied as she walked into the house with Rocket holding onto the stick like Groot.

"Long story short, his people can only say 'I am' and their name but one you been around the Flora Colossus people you tend to pick up what they are saying based on the tone of their voice and what the situation is." Rocket replied to Barry who had a strange look on his face as he climbed off Mehira's shoulder, walked over to a potted plant that had a flower in it and placed his tree friend in the pot which Groot dug his roots into the soil. The Treeman was making sure that he didn't kill the flower that was in the pot with him.

"I have a teenage girl that is the daughter of two Avengers, a talking alien that looks like a raccoon and a talking tree that is currently nestled in one of my wife's potted plants in my living room." Barry said out loud to himself. "Boy, who ever said that life was dull has never had my life."

Mehira smiled at her mentor that she was starting to look to as family as family does not always mean that you are related by blood but love and friendship.

Rocket looked at the human in front of him. He seemed to be taking everything quite well. But from what he had heard from what Mehira had told him that Flash was one of the more down to earth Justice League members and a bit of an airhead despite having a high IQ. The alien raccoon couldn't but think of Petra at the thought of an airhead.

"I just hope Iris doesn't freak out about having guests that aren't even human looking." Barry said to himself.

Just as Barry said that, Iris walked into the living room, took one look at what was going on but mostly was looking at the waving stick that was in her potted plant. She walked back out of the room for a moment before she walked back into the room to make sure that she wasn't seeing things.

"No, dear, you are not seeing things. There is really a twig-like creature that is waving at you from your potted plant and a raccoon-like creature with guns on his back in our living room." Barry told his wife who had not taken her eyes off of Groot who was dancing to the music of what was being played from the radio.

"Okay. It's nice to now that I am not seeing things." Iris replied as she went into the kitchen to get a glass of water so that she could water her plant and the little guest that was also in the pot.

"Can your friend have water?" Iris asked before she would dump the water into the pot. She didn't want to hurt the tree-like creature that she couldn't help but want to cuddle.

"Yeah, he can. As far as we know everything that a Terran plant came have Groot can have." Rocket told the red haired woman who for some reason he started to like right away. She looked so much like Wasp when she wasn't in her costume it was scary and Rocket could sense the same persona of protectiveness coming from this woman.

"Okay." Iris replied as she poured the water into the pot which she saw that the moving plant which she now knew was called Groot only take half of the water making sure that the plant in the pot got the rest.

The four mammal-like creatures and one plant-like creature all sat in the living room. Iris knew that SHIELD was around but it was only the most trustfully of all the agents which to tell the truth Iris didn't blame them for watching her house. The reporter knew that her husband was on The List that SHIELD had to get track of who was a threat and who wasn't. But Iris also knew that Fury had done some rearranging so to speak when it came as to why Mehira was spending some time with her and Barry. To most of the SHIELD agents that watched the house it was only because Iris West-Allen was a distant relation to Janet Van Dyme-Pym and could be a target. Which Iris thought was weird because in real life she and Janet were related through someone from Ireland that lived in the 13th century. Talk about weird. Iris also knew that only Flash was listed on The Watch list and not anyone else and that Barry had willing put his name on the list.

"So what are you planning on doing now Rocket?" Iris asked the Raccoon-like creature that was curled up on Mehira's lap.

"Staying the heck away from SHIELD as much as I can. The last time I was here, those science freaks wanted to see what made me tick. No offense to science people here." Rocket replied as he knew that Barry and Mehira were both into science but didn't bother him at all about anything relating to what had happen to him.

"I am Groot." Groot said in a high pitched voice from the flower pot.

"You said it buddy. Of course I don't think that Fury's to happy with you running over his men when you got Petra to the med-bay." Rocket said as he smiled to himself as he remembered the SHIELD guys hugging the walls as Groot came running down the halls with a puking Half-Terran in his arms. In fact, Groot did run over a couple of the Agents that weren't fast enough to get out of the way of a 7 and half foot talking tree.

"Oh, what I would give to see that." Barry laughed at the image of seeing a giant tree causing some of the toughest humans he had ever seen hug the wall for dear life.

"Don't get between Groot and him looking out for those he cares about." Rocket said as he remembered the time The Guardians had first formed so to speak and that he thought that he had lost Groot when he had formed a ball around him and the others and almost died protecting them.

Iris left the room to get some food for he two speedsters and some more water for Groot as well as some veggies for Rocket who seemed to have a likeness for carrots. A few moments later, the red haired reporter came in with a tray that held everyone's food. Rocket put the water in the pot to let Groot soak up the water and took the bowl of veggies for himself and sat down beside Mehira who had taken her food as well.

During the meal, Mehira's phone went off which Barry and Iris knew was the SHIELD phone that was given to her should she be needed for something.

"What do you want Fury?" The teen speedster asked as she put the phone to her ear.

The room was quiet for a few moments until a loud yell came from Mehira. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? YES, I'LL MEET YOU AT THE LOCATION YOU WANT AND I WILL BRING ROCKET AND GROOT." Mehria replied as she slammed her phone shut.

"Have you ever wanted to hurt someone to the point that you could kill them without killing them?" Mehira asked Barry and Iris who just looked at her with wide eyes that reminded the teen of an owl.

"Other than Superman at times no." Barry replied.

"What's going on?" Rocket asked as he hopped of the couch, worry showing in his voice.

"You are going to love this. Fury decided with permission from Petra to have the Doctors do some tests that aren't usually done but in this case one-eye was going on a whim based on what was going on with Petra. Well, it turns out that our beloved Star-Lady is about 3 weeks pregnant." Mehira told the alien raccoon and talking tree.

"Oh you can't be serious!" Rocket exclaimed loudly.

"I AM GROOT!" Groot yelled and was starting to grow to his normal size only to stop when Mehira told him that he would wreck the house if he went full size.

"Oh I am serious. Fury wants you two back at SHIELD headquarters right now and he requested me for some reason to make sure that you two get there. Of course I think that Fury wanting me to come is to make sure that you am I protect Gamor from Yondu who we all know will find out about Petra and try and kill Gamor." Mehira replied as she grabbed a few sandwiches off of the table, thanked Barry and Iris, grabbed the pot that Groot who has shrunk down to the size of a twig.

"Forget Yondu! I'm gonna kill Gamor when I see him." Rocket shrieked as he crawled into the backpack that Mehira put on her back. It was a safer way to travel at the time of night it was.

"You do know that it takes two to make a baby in most cases. Well, at least in human cases. Though not sure about Petra or this Gamor guy." Iris pointed out.

"Petra's mother was human and Petra was born here as well. Not sure about Star-Lady's father who we know is alien but of a unknown race." Mehira replied to help The Allens understand what was going on.

"Plus Petra grew up as a Space Pirate and the leader of The Ravagers is very protective of Petra in his own way. To put it in simple terms, Petra sees Yondu as her father figure and is still extremely loyal to him and his crew. Before you ask and I know you will, Yondu may be a space pirate but he has morals that he lives by and will always live by no matter what. Think of him as a more bad ass version of The Rogues that is not afraid of shoving an Yakka arrow which when he starts to whistle run as fast as you can cause that is how he will shove that arrow up your behind." Rocket explained as he nestled into the backpack.

Mehira rolled her eyes at her furry friend's explanation of Yondu who really did care about Petra and his crew knew it based on the few times she had met the blue-skinned alien.

"Come on. Let's get to the pick up point before Yondu gets to Earth to kill Gamor. I'll keep you updated when I get back." Mehira said as she headed out the door waving bye to the Allens.

The teen speedster didn't know why but something told her that things were about to get very interesting and someone was going to get hurt but not killed and she didn't think it would be Gamor.

Next chapter: Mehira arrives at the SHIELD flying base and tries to prevent everyone from killing Gamor while Petra deals with the fact that she may have to stay on Earth.
