Everyone made it back to the Milano after the disaster that was their meeting with the Sovereign. Rocket sprinted on all fours towards the cockpit and Y/N couldn't blame him for wanting to leave this planet as soon as possible. He wanted to get out of here too. His furry friend already pissed them off by calling them douchebags, but stealing their batteries was something that crossed the line, and was something these golden folk weren't getting to take lightly when they'll find out about it.

"The stuff about my father." He heard Quill say to Gamora who was adjusting her sisters restraints, "Who does she think she is?"

"I know you're sensitive about that." Gamora said, not looking at him. Her attention was focused on her sister.

"I'm not sensitive about it. I just don't know who he is..." Quill said with a small pause, thinking if there one more thing he should mention, "Sorry if it seemed like I was flirting with the High Priestess. I wasn't."

" I don't care if you were." Gamora said back, beginning to drag her sister to another room.

"I feel like you do care, that's why I'm apologizing, so sorry!" Quill said, but Gamora ignored him and walked away with Nebula.

Y/N came over to Quill side and wrapped his arm around him, watching Gamora and Nebula walk away, "Really smooth, Quill."

Quill rolled his eyes at Y/N's comment who just grinned and shook his head at his reaction. He removed his arm from his shoulder shorty after. They both jumped in suprise when a familiar voice said, "Gamora is not the one for you, Quill."

Quill muttered to himself, "...Shadow."

"How are you doing that?" Y/N asked Drax, completely dumbfounded, having no idea how Drax was able to appear out of thin air next to them so many times.

"There are two types of beings in the universe. Those who dance," Drax began, turning his gaze from Quill and Y/N towards the direction Gamora went to, "And those who do not."

Quill just have a small nod in response, "Mmm-hmm."

"I first met my beloved at a war rally..." Drax continued.

Quill and Y/N shared an uneasy look with each other, "Oh, god."

"...Everyone in the village flailed about, dancing. Except one woman. My Ovette." Drax continued, a hint of smile forming on his lips at the mention of his wife, "I knew immediately she was the one for me. The most melodic song in the world could be playing. She wouldn't even tap her foot. Wouldn't move a muscle. One might assume she was dead."

"That does sound pretty hot." Quill said, going along with what Drax was saying. 

"It would make my nether regions engorge." Drax finished what he was saying.

"Drax." Y/N said, putting his hand over his forehead, "You could have spared us this part..."

"Okay. I get it, yes." Quill shushed Drax before he could say more as the Destroyer reached out and patted his shoulder, "I'm a dancer, Gamora is not".

"You just need to find a woman who is pathetic... like you." Drax finished what he was saying.

"Mmm." Quill hummed in response with a small nod of his head, as Y/N let out a small chuckle after hearing Drax'a advice, despise the fact that he was still cringing a bit after Drax mentioned something about his wife.

"What about you, Y/N?" Y/N was a suprised when Drax asked him, "Would you be interested in finding yourself a female companion? I could give you some advices."

"Thank you for the offer, Drax, but I have to refuse." Y/N answered, shaking his head, "And to be honest, I'm not really interested in finding anyone right now."

Drax just nodded his head to that, before walking away from Quill and Y/N towards the cockpit. Y/N and Quill shared a quick look with each other before making their way to the cockpit as well. Y/N took his seat behind Rocket while Quill took his seat in front, next to Rocket.

Quill glanced at the monitor, noticing something weird, "This is weird, we got a Sovereign fleet approaching from the rear."

"Why would they do that?" Gamora asked, taking her seat in the back.

"Probably 'cause Rocket stole some of their batteries." Drax stated.

Rocket turned to him, "Dude!"

"Right..." Drax started awkwardly, "He didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us, what a mystery this is."

Quill glared at Rocket, "What were you thinking?"

"Dude, they were really easy to steal!" Rocket pointed out.

Gamora rolled her eyes, "That's your defense?"

"Even I could came up with a better defense." Y/N rolled his eyes as well.

Quill turned to look at Y/N after the latter spoke up, "Y/N,  why didn't you watch what he was doing? It would spare us this!"

"What?" Y/N turned to the fellow human, suprised by what he just said to him, "I'm not his nanny, you know? I'm not watching him for 24/7!"

"Come on!" Rocket said, coming up with defense for himself, "You saw how that High Priestess talked down to us. Now I'm teaching her a lesson!"

"I didn't realize your motivation was altruism." Quill stated, sarcastically, "It's really a shame the Sovereign's mistaking your intentions and they're trying to kill us."

Rocket nodded his head in agreement, not realizing that Quill was being sarcastic, "Exactly!"

"I was being sarcastic!" Quill pointed out.

"Oh, no! You're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!" Rocket stated.

Y/N and Gamora looked at each other and shared a quick eye roll, with the latter saying, "Can your bickering on a hold until after we survive this massive space battle?"

"More incoming!" Quill declared, spotting a fleet approaching them from the front.

"Good, I want to kill some guys!" Rocket exclaimed, opening the fire at the approaching ship, managing to destroy a few of them, screaming every moment as he did so.

Everyone jumped in their seats when one of the Sovereign ships fired and managed hit them in the right wing, which was followed by Y/N quickly asking, "What's the nearest habitable planet? We're not going to last long if they'll continue to hit us like that."

"It's called Berhert." Gamora answered, looking at the screen in front of her.

Quill was the next one to ask, "How many jumps?" 

"Only one. But the access point is 47 clicks away. And you have to go through that quantum asteroid field." Gamora replied.

Quill nodded his head and turned the Milano's direction towards the Quantum Asteroid Field. They entered it in a attempt to reach the new jump point and loose the flied that was after them.

"Quill, to make it through that you'd have to be the greatest pilot in the universe." Drax remarked.

"Lucky for us..." Quill was interrupted.

Rocket cut him off with a smirk, "I am."

The talking raccoon took the full control of the Milano and started flying across the field. The Milano twisted and turned to the left and to the left many times, passing by dozens of asteroids, the Sovereign ships on their tail were either destroyed by Rocket or the asteroids on their way.

Quill took the control of the ship after a moment, which clearly displeased Rocket, "What are you doing?"

"I've been flying this rig since I was 10 years old." Quill explained.

"I was cybernetically engineered to pilot a spacecraft." Rocket retorted, changing it back to him.

"You were cybernetically engineered to be a douchebag!" Quill retorted back, taking the control back to his side.

"This is the important conversation, right now?" Y/N asked them, shifting his attention between Rocket and Quill, "You can argue about that once we'll have them off our tail!"

Rocket turned to Quill, taking the control back to him, once again, "Quill, later on tonight, you're gonna be laying down, there's gonna be something squishy in your pillowcase. And you're gonna be like, "what's this?", and it's gonna be because I put a turd in there!" 

Quill turned to the talking raccoon and glared at him, "You put your turd in my bed and I shave you!"

"Oh, it won't be my turd." Rocket shook his head, turning his gaze back to what was in front of him, "It'll be Drax's."

Quill huffed and took the control from Rocket as Drax laughed, "I have famously huge turds!"

"I can't believe that this is happening." Y/N shook his head in pity for himself, "I'm about to die and my last memories are going to be Quill, Rocket and Drax talking about Drax's shit."

Gamora sighed, "That makes the two of us, Y/N."

Ignoring their comments, Rocket took the control of the Milano from Quill back to himself, but Quill wasn't going to let him. He took the control away from Rocket just a few seconds later, but just like Quill, the talking raccoon wasn't going to be in the control of the ship and took it away from him a few seconds laters. The Milano rocked harder, as it was brought in every direction as the two Guardians still argued who was going to be the pilot, and neither of them was willing to let the other become one.

The disaster that was just waiting for happen, finally happened when the Milano crashed into one of the asteroids, which completely destroyed the back of the ship. Y/N tightened his belts as he could feel how the wing was trying to suck him intot he space, which would obviously end up with him freezing to death. Groot flied off Rocket's shoulder and Quill grabbed him before throwing his backwards, where he was caught by Drax who made sure to keep the little tree save.

Quill quickly made sure that it wasn't going to cause them more trouble than they already had. He pressed some buttons and an emergency shield was formed in the place where the hole was just made and the wind calmed down.

They heard how Nebula was slammed against the floor in the back of the ship, which was quickly followed by her screaming, "IDIOTS!"

"Well, that's what you get when Quill flies." Rocket smirked, as Gamora groaned and threw something at him, "Ow!"

"We still have these golden guys behind us if you haven't noticed it." Y/N pointed out shorty after.

"Our weapons are down." Quill declared.

"20 clicks to the jump!" Gamora yelled, "Hold on."

Drax looked around and knew what had to be done next. He placed Groot on Gamora's hand who lifted the little tree up before placing him on her shoulder. The Destroyer walked past his fellow Guardians made his way below the deck and headed towards the back.

He quickly saw Nebula on floor, reaching out for the yaro root. He kicked it away, making her look up at him, "It's not ripe."

He grabbed the cable that was attached to the wall and placed the end of it on his belt. He grabbed one of the disc that were hanging on the wall and put on it his back, the shimmering shield slowly overcoming his entire body as the ship shook, as it was hit again. He grabbed a rifle and moved to a single button before punching it, creating another defensive shield in front of Nebula as the other shield disappeared.

He screamed as he hopped out of the Milano into space. The last Sovereign ship on their tail fired at Drax, attempting to kill him. He quickly steadied himself and aimed his rifle at it, screaming, "Die! Spaceship!"

His rifle fired and the Sovereign's ship was blown off into the pieces, leaving none on their tail. 

"Five clicks!" Gamora declared.

They exited the Asteroid Field and were instantly new with a new problem, or rather the one they thought they already got rid of. Dozens of the Sovereign ships came into their view, ready to fire at them at any second.

"You gotta be kidding me..." Y/N said, shaking his head after seeing how many of the Sovereign ships appeared in his view.

"They went around the field!" Quill stated.

They Sovereign ships started to fire at the Milano, the windows in the front of the ship starting to crack. It was just a matter of seconds before the ship would explode with them still inside. Rocket turned back and shared a a worried look with Y/N, but then something none of them was excepting happened. The entire fleet of the Sovereign was blown into pieces for some reason.

Y/N sighed in relief, "That's a rather welcoming suprise."

"One click!" Gamora declared shorty after.

Rocket saw something heading their way and turned his attention towards it. He saw a huge ship with a small figure standing on top of it, "What is that!"

"Who cares?" Quill shouted, not even looking at the huge ship that Rocket just spotted, as he pointed at the jump point in front of them, "That's the jump point! Go!"

Rocket stared at the man on top of the ship who just waved at him, "It's a guy."

They finally flew through the jump point, the first thing they spotted after flying through jump point was a planet.

"We made it." Y/N said, a small relieved smile that they survived it forming on his lips.

Gamora looked down at the screen and saw that Drax was still outside, hanging on a rope, "Oh, my God. He's still out there?"

She quickly left her seat and got herself back on her feet. She handed Groot to Y/N before making her way below the ship to get Drax into the ship as fast as she could.

Quill looked down at his own screen not long after she left to see her holding into a piece of ship, making sure that she and Drax wouldn't fall out of the ship. He glanced behind to see Groot eating some candy from his pot while sitting on Y/N's knee. Groot's grabbed one candy and extended his arm to Y/N, offering it to him. Y/N simply shook his head at him.

"Groot, put your seatbelt on!" He shouted to the little tree as the Milano was just seconds away from crashing into the forest, "Prepare for a really bad landing!"

It was just seconds before the Milano crashed into the forest, crushing into all of the trees that stood in it's way, as Drax was slammed against each one of them. Y/N picked up Groot from his knee and brought him close to himself to protect him from whatever was going to happen during the landing as the Milano proceeded to crash into everything in it's path, falling apart every moment as it did so, leaving pieces of debris behind it.

The Milano finally stopped and the first thing everyone heard after stopping was Drax shouting, "That was awesome!"

-----

Sometime later after the crash landing, they all were gathered around the ship, and everyone, well mostly Gamora, started to get mad at each other because of what happened with the Sovereign and what happened to their ship and the state in was in.

"Look at this!" Gamora shouted, gesturing towards the destroyed Milano, as Y/N gulped a bit after seeing her expression. She seriously looked like she was going to skin one of them alive,  "Where's the other half of our ship?"

"My ship..." Quill said quietly.

Gamora pointed between Rocket and Quill angrily, ''Either one of you could have gotten us out of that field if you had flown with what's between your ears instead of what's between your legs!" 

"If what's between my legs had a hand on it. I guarantee I could've landed the ship." Quill muttered, looking at Drax and Y/N, the latter rolling his eyes at his comment.

"Peter." Gamora scolded, "We almost died because of your arrogance."

"How about we died because of him because he stole Anulax Batteries!" Quill shouted, pointing at the raccoon.

"They're called Herbulary Batteries." Drax corrected him.

"No they're not!" Quill argued, throwing his hands in the air.

"Enough!" Gamora stepped between these two.

"This is real nice. Some Guardians we are." Rocket spat on the ground, "We should be talking about the little man that saved us by blowing over fifty ships!"

''How little?" Drax asked him.

"Eh, like this?" Rocket answered as he held up his index finger and a thumb, holding them an inch apart.

''A little one inch man saved us?" Y/N asked, sending him a look.

''Well, I'm sure if he got much closer he'd much larger." Rocket answered.

"That's how eye sight works you stupid raccoon." Quill said.

Rocket looked up at Quill, growling, "Don't call me a raccoon!" 

''Oh, I'm sorry." Quill apologized, but was pretending to be sorry, "I meant trash panda."

Rocket turned to look at his partner, ''Is that better Y/N?" 

Y/N shook his head, doing his best to hide the fact that he was holding back a chuckle, "Believe me, it's not." 

"It's worse." Quill added, grinning, "It's so much worse."

''You son of a!" The raccoon growled, as he launched himself at Quill, snapping his teeth at Quill. Gamora ignored the fight between these two. Y/N sighed and shook his head, before looking to his right to see Nebula looking up at the sky. He looked up as well, as his eyes widened as the large white ship came into his view.

"Someone followed you through the jump point." Nebula declared, stopping the fight between these two, before every other Guardian looked up and saw the ship as well. They quickly gathered around each other, readying their weapons.

Y/N pulled out his shotgun, readying it, ""This days just keeps getting better and better.""

"Set me free, you'll need my help, those fools have proven themselves to be useless." Nebula told her sister.

Gamora shook her head, ''I'm not stupid, Nebula." 

"You are if you deprive yourself an extra hand in combat." Nebula pointed out.

"You'll attack me the moment I let you go." Gamora stated.

"No. I won't." Nebula replied, trying to sound as much believable as she could.

"You'd think an evil supervillian would learn how to properly lie." Quill stated.

"I bet it's the one inch man." Drax  stated, as the ship landed down on the forest, causing the tress to crunch down as it took it's place on them.

The door of the ship opened, and an old man and a young alien woman with antennas on her face came out. The woman next to him seemed to be nervous. She held her hands to her chest as she was unable to make an eye contact with anyone for longer than a few seconds.

"After all these years, I've finally found you." The old man said, smilling at them, especially at Quill, who didn't fail to notice this.

"And who the hell are you?" Quill wanted to know.

"Figured my rugged good looks would make that obvious. My name is Ego, and I'm your dad Peter." The man who introduced himself as Ego answered.

Things did get more interesting...

-----

A few hours have passed since Y/N and his fellow Guardians were chased by the Sovereign which led them to the introduction of Quill's father, Ego.

As for this moment, they all have been sitting around a bonfire, as Ego started explaining something to Quill, while everyone just listened, "I hired Yondu to pick you up when your mother passed away. But instead of returning you, Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why."

"Well, I'll tell you why." Quill said, "Because I was a skinny little kid who could squeeze into places adults couldn't. It made it easier for thievin'."

"Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since." Ego declared.

"I thought Yondu was your father." Drax spoke up from where he sat, holding  a bowl of soup in his hand.

"What?" Quill asked, confused by it.

"How is Yondu his father?" Y/N asked shorty after, close to finishing his soup.

"They look exactly alike." Drax stated, taking a sip of his soup.

Y/N looked genuinely confused by Drax's answer, "What?"

"One's blue!" Rocket pointed out.

"No, he's not my father!" Quill exclaimed, "Yondu was the guy who abducted me, kicked the crap out of me so I could learn fight, and kept me in terror by threatening to eat me."

"And you fell for it?" Y/N asked the fellow human with a raised brow, setting the now empty bowl on the ground.

"I was eight years old at the time." Quill explained.

"Oh..." Y/N nodded his head. To this day he couldn't believe how he was falling so easily for the tricks his parents were pulling to keep him quiet, like pretending that they just called a cop to tell him that their son is behaving badly, "I get it now." 

''How'd you locate us?" Gamora asked Ego.

"Well, even where I reside, out past the edge of what's known... we've heard about the man named Star-Lord. What say we head out there, right now? Your associates are welcome. Even that triagle faced monkey there." Ego began, gesturing towards Rocket, who started to touch his face, only to find out that he indeed had a triangular face, "I promise, it's unlike any other place you've ever seen. And there, I can explain your heritage. Finally get to be the father I've always wanted to be." He looked around the people around himself, before excusing himself, "Now, everyone excuse me. I've gotta take a whiz."

"I'm not buying it." Quill stated, as Ego left the group to relieve himself.

"Let's take a walk." Gamora said, as she stood up, Quill soon followed her into the trees.

Nebula remained silent since they gathered around this bonfire. She just kept shifting her attention to whoever was speaking at the moment. It was when she heard someone ask her, "You're hungry?"

She turned in the direction of the voice and saw Y/N standing in front of her, a bowl filled with soup in his hand. Why would he ask her if she's hungry? He somehow must've overheard her telling Gamora that she's hungry and was trying to toy with her, "Are you trying to toy with me?"

Y/N's eyes shot open in suprise. He quickly shook his head, gesturing towards his bowl which was on the ground, "No. I'm not. I'm just asking you if you're hungry. I just finished eating mine and there was some left."

Nebula stared at the human offering her soup, still thinking he was attempting to toy with her, but she had to admit it to herself. She was still hunry. They hadn't given her anything to eat since they crashed in this forest. She held her cuffed hands to him, saying, "I'm hungry but you'd take these off."

"That ain't going to happen." Y/N shook his head. They had their reasons why they kept Nebula handcuffed, and he didn't want to risk Gamora possibly killing him afterwards for not keeping her sister handcuffed.

"Then just give me yaro root." Nebula said, "I will be able to eat it while being handcuffed."

Y/N shook his head, "No. It's not ripe, yet." 

"How am I supposed to eat it, then?" Nebula asked him.

An idea popped into Y/N mind but she was not going to like it, and honestly, neither would he, "Well, there's one option, but I already know that you're not going to like it."

Nebula quickly understood what he meant by that, and he was right about one thing. She didn't like that idea, but she doubted that anyone else would offer her some food right now. She sighed, "Let's just get it over with."

Y/N sighed and sat down next to her. He was so happy that the others were minding their own business right now. He could already imagine Rocket asking him to fed him just to annoy him. He awkwardly lifted the spoon up, the front of it filled with soup and held it out to Nebula who seemed to be trying to hide the fact that she felt as much awkward as he did. She opened her mouth, and Y/N started to fed her spoon after spoon, the awkwardness of this situation slowly starting to wear off.

The woman who was accompaying Ego finally spoke up. She turned to Drax, with a smile forming on her lips, "I'm Mantis."

Drax turned to look at her, and asked, confused, "What are you doing?"

"Smilling." Mantis answered, her smile widening, "I hear it is the thing to do to make people like you."

"Not if you do it like that." Drax said, turning his attention back to his soup.

"Oh, I was raised alone on Ego's planet. I do not understand the intricacies of social interaction." Mantis said,  smile fading from her face. She turned to Rocket who was cleaning himself from supper, "Can I pet your puppy? It is adorable."

Drax turned to look at her, then at Rocket, shifting glances between them a few times, before finally nodding his head, "Yes."

Mantis reached forward, intending to pet Rocket. He snapped at her and growled, making her scream as Drax laughed loudly, "That is called a practical joke!"

Mantis started laughing as well, though it sounded a bit forced, "I liked it very much!"

"I just made it up!" Drax said, still laughing.

Y/N chuckled at Drax's joke as Nebula shook her head, whispering to herself, "What have I done to deserve this..."

"C'mon, we're not that bad." Y/N said to her, having a chance to hear what she said, before feeding her another spoon of soup.

Gamora and Quill returned shorty after, and Y/N could feel the latter sending him a confused look, before asking, "Y/N, what are you doing?"

"I'm feeding your future sister-in-law because she's hungry." Y/N explained.

Gamora and Quill rolled their eyes at Y/N's answer who just send them a smirk in response.

It was just a few moments before Ego returned to them and everyone established who was going to go with Ego tommorow and who was going to stay behind and fix the Milano.
