"Why would you even know this?" Quill asked as they all stood in the Nova Corps headquarters. 

"When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system so we had it checked out." Dey explained. 

"I'm not Terran?" Peter asked. 

"You're half Terran." Nova Prime explained. "Your mother was of Earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen here before." 

"That could be why you were able to hold the Stone for as long as you did." Gamora pointed out. The sound of sliding doors caught their attention. 

"Your friends have arrived." Nova Prime said. "On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Danarian Dey, he has something to show you." 

"Thank you, Nova Prime." Peter thanked her. While Gamora walked beside Drax, (Y/N) walked beside Rocket. 

"He'll be okay." She reassured Rocket as she gestured towards the pot that held one of Groots sticks. Rocket looked to the pot he was holding and smiled. 

"Yeah." He said. They all followed Dey outside onto a large balcony. 

"We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible. We salvaged as much as we could." Dey explained. 

"Wow. I...Thank you." Peter nodded to the man. 

"I have a family. They're alive because of you." Dey said. "Your criminal records have also been expunged. However, I have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future." 

"Question." Rocket interrupted. "What if I see something that I want to take and it belongs to someone else?" He asked.

"You will be arrested." Dey answered.

"But what if I want it more than the person who has it?"

"It's.. still illegal."

"That doesn't follow. No, I want it more sir. Do you understand?" Rocket continued. (Y/N) rolled her eyes as Gamora laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Rocket asked playfully. (Y/N) guided him away with her wing. "Why? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?" 

"Come on you moron." (Y/N) chuckled. Rocket laughed as he walked closely beside her. 

"So...you guys a thing?" Gamora asked as she smirked. Rocket looked to her then to (Y/N). 

"It'd be nice to go back to the good days." He said with a smirk. 

(Y/N) also smirked and said, "someone's gotta make sure you don't get yourself killed." They all laughed. Peter and Drax walked over to them. 

"Alright team. Let's go." Peter said as he walked beside Gamora up into the Milano. They got onto the ship and after a few minutes, Peter played a song.

Peter sat in the front seat with Rocket in the seat beside him. Rocket held the pot with one of Groots sticks planted in it. Drax sat in a seat behind Peter and Rocket. (Y/N) stood behind Rocket's chair with a hand placed on his shoulder. Rocket placed a hand on hers. Gamora came on the front deck and walked past Drax, placing a friendly hand on his shoulder. She walked past (Y/N) and smiled to her and Rocket. Then she stood behind Peter's chair. "So, what should we do next?" Peter asked. "Something good? Something bad? Bit of both?" He suggested. 

"We'll follow your lead... Star-Lord." Gamora said as she smirked.

Peter smiled then said, "bit of both!" Then they soared into the galaxy, awaiting their next adventure to come.
