The Raccoon and the Phoenix Vol.2

Chapter 2

Third person Pov:

 "We thank you, Guardians, for putting your lives on the line" Said the high priest. "We could not risk the lives of our own Sovereign citizens" She said. "Every citizen is born exactly as designed by the community. Impeccable both physically and mentally" High Priest said. "Dang an entire lecture we didn't even ask for" Phoenix whispered. "We control the DNA of our progeny germinating them in birthing pods" She said. "I guess I prefer to make people the old fashioned way" Peter said. "Perhaps someday, you could give me a history lesson in the archaic ways of our ancestors for academic purposes" She said. "I would be honored, yes. In the name of research" Peter said. "I think I could be pretty, uh... repulsive" Peter said. "I'm not into that kind of casual" Peter said but got cut off by Gamora. "Oh, please, your people promised something in exchange for our services, bring it and we shall gladly be on our way" Gamora said. The priest didn't say a word she just looked towards one of her guards and pointed at them motioning to bring them the person who tried to steal their batteries. Two guards then came in both holding one person in a dark cloak covering their face. But once she was on the ground she was then revealed and appeared to be Gamora's sister Nebula. There was silence for a small second until Peter spoke up. "Family reunion. Yay" Peter said in a kinda of awkward like tone. "I understand she is your sister" the priest said. "She's worth no more to me than the bounty due to her on Xandar" Gamora said as she roughly picked up Nebula. "Our soldiers apprehended her attempting to steal the batteries" The priest said as she was getting up from her throne. "Do with her as you please" The priest said. Gamora then held Nebula in place and started walking away. "We thank you, high Priestess Ayesha" Peter said then turned around to leave to but stopped in his tracks as the high priest spoke. "What is your heritage, Mr. Quill?" The priest asked. "My mother is from earth" Peter said. "And your father?" The priest asked. "He ain't from Missouri. That's all I know" Peter said. "I see it within you. An unorthodox genealogy. A hybrid that seems particularly. Reckless" The priest said. She then turned her head towards Phoenix. "And you" she said. Phoenix looked at the priest and pointed at herself. "Me?" She asked. "I also see within you. Your a creature that comes from the planet Terra but another part of you comes from a planet that holds very special power" The priest said. "Although turns out the only thing you came out to be was a idiotic fighter" The priest said. Phoenix growled and finally decided to speak up. "You know, they told us you people were conceited douchebags" Phoenix said. "But that isn't true at all" Rocket said finishing his friend's sentence then did his terrible wink yet again. The crowd gasped at the two and one of the guards then got there gun ready. "Oh shit, I'm using my left eye again aren't I?" Rocket asked. "After this I'm literally gonna teach you how to wink Rocket" Phoenix said as she held the bridge of her nose. "I'm sorry that was meant to be behind your back" Rocket said as he was getting picked up by Phoenix. "Count yourselves blessed they didn't kill you two" Drax said looking towards both Rocket and Phoenix. "Your telling us" Rocket said. "You wanna by some batteries?" Phoenix said in a slight whisper loud enough for Drax to hear as her and Rocket showed Drax the small bag of the batteries they had stolen. Drax then laughed. Rocket and Phoenix then shushed Drax through Giggles.
