You leaned against the wall of the shop Nadia was looking around in. You had found a replacement for cigarettes that were much healthier but tastes the same. You took a drag just as Nadia walked out holding her bag.

Y/N: You find what you're looking.

Nadia nodded and the two of you started your way back towards the ship. There still wasn't any word on the Asgardian but you didn't complain. It was nice to not be on the move for once. Cosmo had offered small jobs here and there which you took out of boredom.

Peter kept to the bars waiting for his crew to return. He had offered to introduce you to them since they had expressed interest in meeting more people from Earth. You agreed to it since you were curious about them from the way Cosmo talked about them.

Nadia: This place is pretty nice once you get past the thugs and possible drug problems.

Y/N: Yeah. Kinda reminds me of home.

Nadia smiled at the memory of New York. It was weird that you actually missed the dirty streets and rude people. Turns out it was just universal. Like flipping the bird.

The two of you ended up passing by a bar where you found Peter stumbing out. It took a few days but, you had acatually grown to like the drunk idiot.

Y/N: Hey Quill.

Peter looked around and spotted the two of you. He smiled widely and waved.

Peter: Perfect timing. My crew just came back.

You and Nadia grinned.

Y/N: Sounds good. Aren't you guys running a job for Cosmo?

Peter nodded. Suddenly, he got an idea.

Peter: You guys should come with us. We could use the help.

You looked at Nadia who gave you the ok.

Y/N: Sure. Let's meet this crew of yours.

Peter laughed.

Peter: Yeah. Let's go meet the Guardians of the Galaxy.

You and Nadia froze in place.

Nadia: Guardians of the Galaxy? Like, the entire galaxy?

You both looked at each other.

Y/N: God help us all.
-------
The three of you reached the space port and you found a new ship parked next to yours. Outside of the ship was a, uh...was that a racoon holding a tablet.

Peter: Rocket!

The racoon looked up and saw the three of you. He didn't look too amused but he lowered the tablet.

Peter: Guys, this is Rocket Racoon. He's kinda the weapons guy slash team mascot.

Rocket: Go suck a dick Quill. I'm not a mascot.

Peter: Sure you're not. Rocket, these are the two I mentioned. Y/N and Nadia.

Rocket turned to the two of you and crossed his arms.

Rocket: More people to add to the group. Perfect.

He walked off while shaking his head. Nadia looked up to you but you just watched him walk away.

Y/N: I always wanted a pet racoon. Not anymore.

Peter laughed a bit before rubbing the back of his neck.

Peter: He grows on you. Everyone is inside. Excuse the smell.

He led you inside where you found someone typing away on a panel. Peter smirked before sneaking up behind her and sneaking a kiss. This was met with a knife to the throat.

???: Quill? What did I tell you about sneaking up on me?

Peter: What did I say about bkt attacking everyone who sneaks up on you?!

The woman retracted her blade and noticed the two of you standing there.

???: You two must be the other humans. My name is Gamora.

Y/N: You're not wearing much clothing.

She looked down at herself in confusion.

Gamora: What is wrong with my attire?

Peter: Nothing baby. You look great.

He leaned in closer to you.

Peter: Things work differently out here.

He then clapped his hands together and looked around.

Peter: Where's everyone else?

Gamora: Probably in the lounge. Drax was trying to tell them a joke he heard. I got ignored so I left.

Peter: Great. Another joke. Yay.

Gamora looked at you and Nadia and offered a smile before turning back to the panel. Peter let the two of you to a place where there was a old beat up couch. On the couch was a man who was quite large.

???: And then the man said, "I know what you are but what am I"! It was funny!

The man began to laugh hard while the other two just stared at him confused. The man then saw Peter.

???: Quill! I have a joke to tell you! You will laugh!

Peter: That sounds great buddy. I brought friends!

The man turned to you and Nadia.

???: More humans? Do they have the sense for humor?

Nadia: You mean a sense of humor?

Peter: This is Drax. Most things go over his head.

Drax: Nothing gets past me. Especially over my head.

You looked at Nadia slowly.

Y/N: These guys protect the galaxy?

Nadia: I somehow feel less safe.

???: Perhaps you can tell them a joke to see if they get it.

Drax: You can't get a joke. It's just words that make you laugh.

Peter: That one is Mantis. She can feel the same emotion as you by touching you.

Mantis: Hello. It is good to meet you.

You then turned to the giant tree man.

???: I am Groot.

Y/N: I am Groot.

Peter looked at you amazed.

Peter: You can understand him?

You nodded.

Y/N: I can speak any language. I am Groot.

Groot: I am Groot.

You laughed.

Y/N: I am Groot.

Nadia watched as the two of you went back and forth.

Peter: Yep. These guys are my crew.

Nadia: Dear god.
