Peter's POV

I wake up with Gamora's small body in my arms. Somedays this is perfect. But then I remember we are being chased by assassins. She is still asleep so I give her a kiss on the forehead and slowly get up. The Milano is clean now, due to Gamora's neatness. Drax, Groot, and Rocket have their own cabins above. Slipping on my jeans and a blue v neck, I walk down the hallway. The ship creaks as I walk and I listen to the quiet for a while. Just sitting in the captains chair, I await the uproar of my crew. As I was expecting, Rocket along with Groot came down the stairs. "You know, sooner rather than later, Yondu will open the orb and come here to beat your ass." Rocket says in his rude tone. "Yeah well when he does I hope we can make a deal and he can finally pay up his end." I retaliate.

"What do you mean Quill?"

"I mean, I overheard a Zackuran and an Oscavarian of Yondu's crew talking about how I was cargo and should have been delivered to my father like they 'was' hired to do."

"Oh man, that's deep."

"Either Yondu helps me find him or I have to search for him myself, and that is a lot of galaxy to cover."  At this point Gamora comes down.

"Good morning Peter." She says in her alluring voice. That voice makes my heart melt to the core.

         "Good morning." I say kindly and envelope her in a kiss. Just then I realize what I have to do. I end the kiss early and startle her.

         "I have to go to Yondu and make him tell me where my father is!" I burst. Everyone looks at me. Gamora picks up my hands and holds them close to her heart. " Peter, I think we should talk. In the other room." She says. I nod and we move up the stairs to our room.

       Once we get there she starts tentatively, "I know you want to find him but are you sure this is practical? You don't know him, you just learned that he existed. I'm just saying, what if he isn't all you would expect?"

      For a minute I consider this, how could he not be what I expected? Well, I could see as how he didn't know me my entire life... But I see what she is getting at. "Yeah... That makes since." I say sadly. Gamora looks at me with concern.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset. I just don't want you to get your hopes up."

        The sad look on her face made me crawl inside. So I kissed her with all the love I had. She kissed back and for a few seconds we were in the moment. Then Rocket came rushing into the room. "You have a call from Yondu, Quill." 

          I sprung into action, we have been waiting for a call back since this morning. I sprint down the hallways and down into the cockpit. The touch pads' ringing was incessant. Until I press the "answer" key. The hologram opens and a blue face appears on it.

          "Yondu! What's goin on?" I say in fake excitement.

          "You know Quill, the stone." He said calmly, "or lack of it."

         "I am so sorry Yondu, I just couldn't give you the stone. That amount of power needs to be contained."

        "Yeah, yeah. I'm not happy about it but I cant do nothin bout it."

       "Well, I was hoping you would tell me who my father is and/or where he is?"

         "Okay Quill, but I wanna do it in person. Tell me your coordinates."

          "Outside of the Kree Empire, Z156220, O779503. Thank you Yondu."

        "Yeah, whatever boy."

"You did it!" Gamora blurts excitedly. "So, is he coming right now?"

           "I am not quite sure, but anyway, Oh my god, I really am going to know my father..." I say not fully believing it until I speak it. She jumps into my arms and I catch her and we spin around, both of us grinning ear-to-ear. Once I put her down, the music is turned on. Cherry Bomb  by The Runaways comes on from Awesome Mix. We dance. This is what we do until I get a transmission from Yondu saying he is here.

          The hatch opens and up comes Yondu and three other ravagers, a Sneeper, a Wayfier, and another Centaurian. Yondu's facial expression is normal but his tone is like he is ripping off a bandage.

           "Quill, your daddy is in the Kyln."
