"We'll be okay buddy, we'll always have each other's back," He squeals at that and you follow Obfonteri to your new room. Your new home for the next few years.

~~~

When you stepped into your room, you quickly shut the door and pressed your back against it. You fall to the ground and bring your legs to your chest. You stifle cries but tears fall freely down your face. K2 senses your discomfort and bounds over to you and snuggles into your leg. You look at the droid with flushes cheeks and a weak smile. You examine the room. There's not much. A single bed, a small window and then in the far corner there was a pile of your bags from your ship. You open the bags and begin to rummage through your things only to find all your weaponry was gone.

"You really think we'd give you your weapons?" You look over your shoulder to see the fairly attractive terran from earlier.

"Doesn't hurt to check," You zip the bag up and stand while K2 hides behind your legs. The terran looks at the droid with a smile as he leans against your doorframe.

"Who's your friend?"

"This is K2, he's my droid," He nods in understanding and folds his arms across his chest.

"So...who are you?"

"(Y/N)," You say confidently.

"You're small," He quips and you look offended.

"I am not," He chuckles and shakes his head.

"How old are you?"

"...15,"

"16," He glances over at you then he narrows his eyes at the scar across your left eye. "Where'd you get that?"

"My sister," You respond before kneeling back down to your bags while K2 beeps at you. "It's okay, he seems nice," He beeps more urgently. "True...We don't know his name," You stand back up while K2 jumps into your hands and then you put him on your shoulder. "What's your name?"

"Peter...Peter Quill," He pushes off the door and enters the room and sits on your bed.

"Please, make yourself comfortable," You say sarcastically.

"I will, thank you," He laughs, laying into the two pillows on the bed.

"Why are you here?"

"New person. I wanted to check you out, see what you're like," He sits up and locks eyes with you. "What are you? Human? Alien?"

"I'm you...human or as most people 'round here say 'terran'," You go back to your bags and pull at fresh clothes before laying them on the end of the bed.

"It's nice to have another human 'round here," He says, watching you. "But...you seem...different,"

"Maybe I'm special," K2 jumps from your shoulder and waddles up to Peter who still lays in your bed.

"Why did Yondu take you in?"

"Me and K2 can help out. We're good fighters and good and fixing things," You say as K2 prods Peter's leg with his.

"What...so you two are a package deal?"

"Indeed,"

"How are you a good fighter at such a young age?" You shrug, not wanting to give away your entire identity to a man you just met. "Yondu is training me,"

"Why did he keep you?"

"I'm small and skinny...good for theifing," You nod while K2 scurries back to you.

"I'm going to get changed,"

"Nice," He looks at you with a smirk.

"Get out asshole,"

"You sure you want me to leave?" You take off your boot before you threw it at him. "Esh, I'm leaving," You shake your head as he slowly leaves your room. You shut the door before ensuring it's locked. You turn to K2 who puts the shutters down on his eye so he wouldn't see you get changed. You go back to your bag and pull out the small red box. You tug off your shirt and go to the full-length mirror you spotted when Peter came into your room. You sighed at the scars. You noticed one of your recent wounds have reopened. You open the red box and begin to cleanse your wound. You hiss in pain as you quickly clean and stitch it back up. You grab bandages and hurriedly wrap it around your torso. K2 beeps at you and you sigh.

"I know I don't need to be quick...it's just...instincts," You were constantly running so you never had time to properly tend to your wounds. You were still in unfamiliar surroundings so you wanted to be ready to defend, not busy stitching a silly little wound. "How did you see anyway?" You ask looking back at the small droid who beeps at you. "You heard?" He nods and you shake your head before grabbing your red tank top and black jeans. You throw your hair into a ponytail before giving K2 the signal he can open his shutters.

You look at the space from your window and you place your hand on the cool glass. He's out there. And he wants you. He wants you dead. They all want you dead.

You leave to explore the ship and you see Peter waiting there. "Hey princess," He says with a wink and you glare at him before walking away, K2 rolling after you. You passed many Ravagers who glared at you with disdain.

"Why are you following me?" You ask as you walk down another hall.

"Just seeing where you're going,"

"Don't you have anything better to be doing?" You stop and turn to him, arms folded.

"No," You raise a brow and he simply laughs at you. "Seriously, I have nothing to do,"

"Can you stop stalking me and do something...productive," He shrugs and leaves and you sigh in relief before venturing deeper into the ship. K2 beeped at you urgently. "There's nothing to be afraid of," You scold him as you walk up a pair of steps before stopping when hearing shouting voices.

"We should hand her over!"

"All those credits will make us ten times rich!"

"No,"

"Why? What are you so afraid of?"

"She can be good use to us. She's small like Quill. Instead of him doin' mission on his own, the girl can help,"

"True, the double the hands, the double the money,"

"But if we hand her over, we won't need to do any other missions-" He is cut of by a sharp whistle.

"Listen to me, the girl stays. Any contact with Thanos, that giant purple asshole, you'll be dead before ya even meet him," You suck in a breath and slowly begin to walk away, K2 cooing sadly.

"They all know my father now-!" You exclaim as you walk back the way you came, both anger and sadness fueling you. "Half of them will be glad to hand me over and I highly doubt Yondu can stop them all," You say and lean down for K2 to jump on your hand before placing him on your shoulder. You see a couple more Ravagers stare down at you before one comes to you.

"Hey, I'm Kraglin," He says with a warm smile.

"I didn't ask," You respond before brushing past him.

"I know but I thought you 'ought to know that there are some of us that do like ya," He says, wringing his hands together as he nervously looks down. You nod your head before walking away back to your safe place; your room. K2 coos sadly as you sit on the floor, back pressed against the end of your bed.

"I know," You mumbled as he springs onto your lap and snuggles his head into your stomach as a single tear falls from your face. "I hope it'll become easier...but look at who we're running from,"
