“Oh, sh*t...” Quill mutters as he rushes to the door and locks it shut before destroying the control panel with a few blasts of his pistol.
“Groot!” Rocket exclaims as he rushes over to his fallen friend.
“Let me have a look.” Peter says as he walks over.
Putting out the fire and smoke in the room with a wave of his hand, Peter stood above Groot and casts a quick spell on him.
“Don’t touch him!” Rocket yells as he turns his gun on Peter.
“He’s alive, relax.” Peter says as he opens a small portal above Groot’s dry open mouth.
Instantly, fresh spring water from earth pours out of the quarter-sized portal and quickly fills Groot’s mouth, forcing him to swallow.
Before Rocket's very eyes, Groot’s dried-out body slowly but surely started to rejuvenate.
“He’s dehydrated and exhausted.” Peter explains as he ruffles the fur on Rocket's head. “After a good night's rest and some watering, he’ll be back to normal.”
After explaining everything, Peter opened a portal under Groot, sending him falling into his bedroom back on the ship.
“Quill!” Yondu’s yelled as he banged on the locked door a few times. “I know you’re in there! Don’t you move, Boy! I’m coming for you.”
“Okay, now is a great time for one of your portals, Spider!” Quill rushed up to Peter and practically begged.
“What? You don’t want to introduce us to your Ravager space Daddy?” Peter asks jokingly.
“He is not my-”
*Boom!*
Suddenly, the door was blown open and a blue-skinned man with a flat red metallic Mohawk came strolling in.
“Daddy’s home!” Yondu made his entrance as his eyes locked onto Quill. “What a coincidence to see you here!”
“Hey, Yondu...” Quill waves awkwardly as about thirty Ravagers came pouring into the room.
“You betrayed me! Tried to steal my money!” Yondu exclaims as he points a blue finger Quill’s way. “When I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted Terran before. I saved your life!”
That seemed to be the last straw for Quill, as his awkward demeanor vanishes and is replaced with furious anger.
“Oh, will you shut the f*ck up about that? God! For twenty years you've been throwing that in my face, like it's some great thing not eating me! Normal people don't even think about eating someone else! Much less that person having to be grateful for it! You abducted me, man. You stole me from my home and my family.” Quill ranted.
“You don't give a damn about your Terra! You're just a scared soft little boy!” Yondu shouts as he marches toward Quill with his men at his back. “You can’t even begin to understand the good I’ve done for you! You’re only alive today because of me, eaten or not! I raised you into the man you are today, and you spit in my face!”
“!” The time for words came to an end, as Quill pulled back his fist and clocked Yondu square in the face.
Just as the surrounding Ravagers were about to pounce on Quill, a golden dome-shaped barrier blocked their path.
“This is a fight between Father and Son.” Peter says as he walked up with the Guardians and Carina at his back. “Let them solve it on their own.”
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Gamora asked worriedly as she watched Quill take an elbow to the face.
“Yeah, I’m getting some pretty heavy daddy-issue vibes from this.” Peter explained.
He knew that Yondu cared for Quill in his own way, so the two of them would have to settle their differences and now seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that.
While Yondu and Quill were slugging it out, a few Ravagers, who didn’t look happy about the situation, tried to attack Peter and the barrier, but...
“Ugh!”
“Argh!”
“Ahh!”
Each time someone stepped out of line, Peter sent them tumbling through a pair of portals, leaving them screaming as they fell infinitely at the back of the room for all to see.
When both sides calmed down, the fun could finally start.
“Taking bets!” Peter shouts like an expert bookie. “Odds are 2 to 1 in Yondu Udonta’s favor! Place your bets with me and hand your Credits to my furry friend here!”
That seemed to liven up the mood as a bunch of Ravagers rushed up to bet on their Captain.
Of course, Rocket was more than happy to take their money.
“300 Credits on Captain!”
“1000 Credits on Yondu!”
“50 Credits...”
“2000 Credits on Quill...” One of the Ravagers said in a hushed tone, though everyone seemed to hear it.
Every Ravager turned to him with betrayed looks on their faces.
“What? If he wins then I double my money...”
-Inside the Barrier-
“You took me from my home!” Quill exclaimed as he kicked Yondu in the stomach.
“I showed you the universe, you ingrate!” Yondu countered as he dipped passed a punch and elbowed Quill in the ribs.
“I’m sorry that I’m not grateful for being kidnapped!” Quill rebutted with a fist to the face.
“I saved you, Boy!” Yondu roared as he missed a punch and took a knee to the stomach.
“Saved me from what? A loving family?” Quill asked as he knocked his opponent on his back and follows after him, sending hammer punches to his face in the process.
*whistle!*
Yondu shielded his face with his arms as he let out a loud whistle, which caused his Yaka Arrow to shoot out of its holster and rest on Quill's neck.
“You didn’t have a family! Your mommy died and I took you in!” Yondu says as Quill froze in place.
“Don’t you talk about her...” Quill says threateningly, as if he was the one with an arrow to Yondu’s neck.
“Face it, kid. I saved you from a mediocre life on some mediocre world.” Yondu smirked as he looked up at Quill tauntingly. “Hell, I might as well be your Daddy!”
“!” Quill didn’t take too kindly to that statement as he went to attack once again.
*whistle!*
“I don’t think so.” Yondu’s smirk widens as the arrow at Quill's throat presses forward slightly, breaking his skin open. “I already won, Boy. Give up.”
“Sadly, that isn’t the case.” Peter says from the other side of the barrier, confusing the Ravagers who were celebrating their win. “This was a fist fight, not an arrow fight. Quill takes the win by default.”
As Peter says this, the arrow vanished from Quill's neck, shocking Yondu and his Ravagers.
“I won!” The sole Ravager that bet on Quill exclaimed in victory as he collected his winnings from Rocket, who reluctantly handed it over.
“What the hell is going on?!” Yondu stood up alongside Quill and seemed to finally notice the barrier around them. “Where’s my Arrow?”
“That would be my friends doing.” Quill says as the barrier surrounding them disappeared. “He’s a magician.”
“Well, tell em to work his voodoo and hand over my Arrow.” Yondu says threateningly as the Ravagers circle around Peter and the Guardians.
“Sure, but first let’s come to an understanding.” Peter says as he snaps his fingers and conjures a long table with chairs and took a seat.
“?!” Every Ravager including Yondu we’re shocked as the table appeared.
After all, a barrier could be explained through technology, but this was just crazy...
“Everyone take a seat.” Peter says as he turns to the Ravagers. “Except you grunts. Feel free to wait outside the door while we talk.”
“They ain’t going anywhere.” Yondu says as he took a seat at the head of the table.
Without uttering another word, Peter gestured to the few Ravagers at the back of the room, who were still falling through the portals.
They weren’t even conscious anymore.
“Y-You know, Boss. We’ll wait for you outside.” One of the Ravagers says as he and the rest rush out of the door in fear.
“...” Yondu didn’t know how to handle the situation anymore.
His men were scared sh*tless and he didn’t even have his Yaka Arrow anymore.
“What do you want?” Yondu asks, knowing that he wasn’t the one calling the shots anymore.
“It’s good that you understand the situation.” Peter says with a nod. “Since a member of my crew wronged you, we will come to an agreement for compensation.”
“Your crew?!” Quill shouts incredulously. “Who’s ship have you been staying in rent-free?”
“I’d say the 150 thousand credits I brought you was more than enough to make up for that.” Peter says as he turns to Quill. “But if you’d like the Captain position, then we can decide it like warriors?”
“...” Quill fell silent as he turned his head away.
Even Rocket, who wanted to weasel his way into being the Captain, didn’t say a word after that.
“4 Billion Credits.” Yondu states plainly.
“What?!” Quill and Rocket jumped out of their seats in disbelief. “You greedy mother-”
“That Orb you stole from me is worth 4 billion, and I won’t take a Unit less.” Yondu enjoyed the look on Quill's face.
“The Orb was empty, so it wasn’t actually worth that.” Peter says as he gestures to the corpse of the Collector. “As you can see, he refused to pay.”
“...” Yondu didn’t look happy after hearing that.
“But, since your my first mate’s Daddy-”
“Stop saying that!” Quill shouted in distaste.
“-I can offer you a few things.”
“Wait, did he say first mate?” Quill asks though everyone ignores him.
“Well?” Yondu hurries Peter along.
“First, We can give you a small cut of what we take from the Collector.” Peter says as he motions to the museum around them. “There’s probably a vault in here somewhere as well.”
“What else?” He asks in interest.
“Second, you could become a member of our crew-”
“What?! No, not happening!” Quill immediately shouted though Peter continued to ignore him.
“-We split everything equally, so your cut of the Collector's stuff would be much larger.” Peter explains, hoping to recruit Yondu. ‘He’s one of the cooler characters in the MCU...’
“Hehe, I like you.” Yondu laughs at Quill as he leans back in his chair. “Though, I don’t know if I could be in the same crew as a traitor.”
“Good, don’t.” Quill said in relief.
“Don’t try to play me, Yondu.” Peter says with a smirk under his mask. “I looked you up and I know all about your little kidnapping spree. It even got you exiled, didn’t it? Ravagers don’t traffic children. It’s against the code, right?”
“?” Quill never heard that part of the code before. ‘Why would he kidnap me then?’
“The money was good. What’s your point?” Yondu asks.
“Why didn’t Quill get to his destination?” Peter asks, knowing the answer already.
In 1988, Yondu was hired by Ego, Quill's Celestial father, to travel to Missouri on Earth and kidnap Quill.
Aware that the other children he had delivered had been murdered, Yondu chose to keep Quill and raised him to be a Ravager.
“You took a liking to him, didn’t you?” Peter asks as he leans forward tauntingly. “He wasn’t like the other snot-nosed brats you picked up. You saw potential in him and decided to raise him like your son instead of sending him to his death.”
“?!” Yondu practically jumped out of his skin as he heard that. “How do you know that?!”
Everyone watch in silent shock, especially Quill who was learning a bit more about his origins.
“It’s not hard to see that every child you took never appeared again.” Peter says as he looks Yondu in the eyes. “But you wouldn’t let that happen to Quill, would you? He would be your son. A Ravager through and through.”
“Fine, you’re right.” Yondu admits, shocking Quill even further. “But that don’t mean he still ain’t a traitor!”
“Who were you supposed to bring me to?” Quill asks, curious to know who was killing all those children.
“You know what? Forget this.” Yondu gets up and walks to the door.
“How odd. A Ravager leaving without his payment.” Gamora speaks up in confusion.
“If you leave, you’re saying goodbye to the biggest score of your life.” Peter calls out, stopping Yondu in his tracks. “Trust me, this guy was loaded. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has triple the amount of credits he offered on this ship alone.”
...
Silence filled the room as Yondu seemed to battle within himself. After all, a billion credits is a hard thing to turn down...
“Fine, I’ll join your crew, but keep that little traitor away from me.”
