"Are Drax and Mantis, like, a thing?" I ask as we walk down the empty corridor. 

"No one over here." Rocket says over comms. 

"No, why would you think that?" Quill asks before turning his head in the other direction. "Rocket, are you done speaking? You have to say 'over' when you're done, we've talked about this. Over." 

"Fine. I'm done and you can suck my balls. Over." Rocket says, and Quill rolls his eyes. 

"Rocket, be nice." Gamora reprimands. 

"Your boyfriend is being a jackass." Rocket quips. 

"Are you sure Drax and Mantis aren't together? I was kinda getting the vibe, too." Peter agrees, continuing on the conversation over all the bickering, but Quill shakes his head again. He holds out his hand as we reach the end of the hallway and the three of us stop walking. Hesitantly, Quill peeks around the corner before signaling that it's okay to come. 

"Maybe my boyfriend wouldn't be acting like a jackass if you didn't tell him to suck your balls!" Gamora shouts. 

"Nah. Drax had a wife already, and kids. I don't think he's really looking for anything else. And for Mantis? She knows not what she does." He answers. He turns away from us once more. "Guys, keep it down? I know you're defending my honor, babe, but we don't want to bring attention to ourselves. Plus, we're still not using 'over' at the end. Over." 

"Do you guys see anything?" Thor asks. "Oh, um, over?" 

"We've got a visual." Gamora says, her voice a whisper. "Northwest hallway that leads into the big room. Over." 

"We'll be right there." Rocket says. 

"Us, too." Quill agrees, and Peter and I follow him down the hallway. "Let's try not to kill too many people, okay?  I actually kinda like these people. Let's just get the two we need and get out. Over." 

"Sounds good to me." Thor agrees. "Over." We finally reach Gamora, Nebula, and Valkyrie and are quickly joined by Rocket, Drax, and Groot. 

"Where are they?" Peter asks. Gamora points down the hallway. 

"No girl, just Skrulls." Nebula says. 

"Did you guys find them yet?" Loki asks as he, Thor, and Mantis approach us.

"No." Valkyrie answers. "Just some people down there. Skrulls only." 

"I wonder where the chick is." Rocket mutters. 

"Hold on," I reply. "Gayle?" 

"Who is Gayle?" I hear Drax ask.

"Hello, Y/N." Gayle answers. 

"Thermal camera, please." I say, and soon my vision is flooded with the bright colors of thermal vision. I turn around, looking for people. "There's some people in there," I say, pointing after seeing some suspicious looking figures. "But no one with hair, I don't think. Maybe she's not-" Before I can finish my sentence, I feel a sharp hit in the back of my head and stumble to the ground. 

"Y/N!" Peter exclaims, and I turn around from the floor to see a figure in front of me. 

"Gayle?" I ask. 

"Thermal camera off." She says, and I can finally see Vers with her glowing eyes and flaming golden hair. Her fists are clenched and she tilts her head down at me, looking between our group. There's one more moment of silence before she sends a blast of energy in Quill's direction and he barely ducks in time. The group stumbles past me as Peter pulls me out of the way and helps me up. 

"Are you okay?" He asks. "I'm sorry, I should have-"

"I'm fine," I say, waving him off, though my head is spinning. I brush the dirt off of my knees. I watch as Vers throws Mantis to the side. "Damn, she's good." I say. Quill shoots at her and she dodges easily. 

"Here come the Skrulls," Rocket groans, turning as Skrulls come running towards us. 

"If you see Talos, grab him!" Gamora instructs, turning to fight a Skrull that's coming up behind her. I do the same, throwing a soft punch at the Skrull closest to me. The fight continues and I dodge a kick as I continue to fight. I watch as Peter swings above us, webbing Skrulls together and sticking them to the walls. 

"Maybe if we just talk to them, they'll be nice and listen!" I shout. 

"Please," Peter says, swinging down beside me and blocking me from a punch. "We might be commanding, but we're no God. Or Nick Fury." Vers drops down next to us, grabbing our arms. The fighting ceases immediately as Peter and I attempt to squirm out of her grip. 

"Did you say Nick Fury?" She asks, looking between us. Peter and I share a confused glance.

"I... yeah, I did." Peter says hesitantly. Vers drops me, using her free hand to grab Peter's other arm. Quill places a hand on my shoulder and pulls me closer to the group. 

"What's going on?" He asks.  

"How do you know Nick Fury?" She demands, getting closer to his face. He cringes. 

"He runs S.H.I.E.L.D. and created the Avengers," He squeaks, pulling away. She drops him. 

"The Avengers?" She repeats after a moment. 

"Yeah," I say. "The group of superheroes on Earth?" She thinks for a moment, then turns to me. 

"I need you to get me in contact with Nick Fury. Can you do that?" She says, and I nod adamantly. 

"I think?" I say. "I don't- I've never had a conversation with Nick Fury personally, but I could get in contact with him through Tony Stark." 

"I know him." Thor adds. 

"I've met him a few times." Peter says. "I mean, I kind of... um, work for him? I guess? I mean, you kind of do, too, Y/N, because we work for the Avengers, and though technically we work for Tony, Fury did, like, create the Avengers so I think he has a lot of authority there and Nat and Clint work for him on the side so-"

"Stop talking." Nebula says, and Peter gulps. 

"Are you gonna stop fighting us?" Rocket asks. Vers turns to him sharply. 

"I'm not letting you run around this ship, if that's what you're asking." She says coldly. She turns to the Skrulls behind our group. "Except for the Webhead, girl, and Blondie over there, take them to the Crate." The Skrulls advance on our friends.  

"You're... keeping us hostage?" Loki asks incredulously. "I'm a God!"

"I don't care." Vers replies quickly. "You people broke onto my ship and I have no idea who you are. Until I speak to Nick Fury, no one leaves." She says, turning her back on the Guardians. Quill waves his hands wildly. 

"Wait!" He exclaims. "You're not going to be able to talk to without my ship, so you need me, too." Vers squints at him for a moment. 

"Fine. Rest of them to the Crate." She says, and gestures for Quill to lead us to the ship. He does hesitantly and we follow closely behind. Peter slips his hand into mine, not letting me go far from him. 

"This took a turn," I whisper to him, and he gives me a small smile. 

"You mean you didn't expect the alien we're supposed to bring to the Kree to know Nick Fury?" He replies. "I thought that was obvious!" I poke his arm as we leave their ship behind and step onto the Milano.
