Guardians of the Galaxy Descendants

We Think Someone Is Out To Get You.....But It's All Cool!

3rd Person POV

The seven of them stood in solemn silence in front of the Guardians. Gemma, Devin, Aster, Korey, Universal, and Bomb stood with their hands behind their backs, their sheepish gazes locked on the ground. Meteor stood off to the side, his gaze wandering up and down the walls.

"Okay look guys," Peter started. "we get that all of you are hyped up and on edge right now. PJ got beat up pretty bad by an assailant that we don't know, Comet was shot up badly along with two of your other classmates who you knew, Gemma and Universal both, thankfully, only had flesh wounds, and there may or may not be a ring of gang members out there that want both the villain kids and the hero kids dead." As soon as the last string of words left his mouth Peter looked like he wanted to take that sentence back.

"There's a what?" All seven of them shouted. Now everyone, even Meter looked up in attention. Gamora looked like she was about to strangle Peter; so did all the other Guardians.

"Way to go Quill. Didn't we agree not to tell em'?" Rocket growled. Peter held up his hands in surrender.

"I think we deserve to know when there's a bounty on our heads and people are willing to go through with it!" Bomb snarled. Her hand went to a pocket on her jacket and Gemma quickly grabbed her arm.

"I don't think shooting at them will help." Gemma whispered. Bomb pulled her arm away from Gemma and let it rest by her side with a glare in Gemma's direction.

"Anyway," Peter continued. "People after you or not that's no excuse to have a fight in the infirmary with the nurses."

Aster coughed. "A fight Devin rather conveniently missed for some reason." He muttered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Devin shouted at Aster who looked startled at Devin's sudden outburst. "I don't see you going out of your way to see how your friend, who just got shot, is doing! At least I cared enough to see if Comet was okay!"

Aster raised his arms in surrender. "Okay you got me there, I don't care about my friends, what else is new?"

"Um, ouch." Korey mumbled. Universal and Meteor both nodded. Aster ignored them.

"And another thing," He pointed his finger in Devin's face. "If you really care about everyone's well-being then why aren't you out there hunting down the people responsible for the death sentence hanging over their heads!" Aster shouted. "Cause I'm going out there to bash in the heads of anyone who even considered taking on that bounty!"

Drax stepped forward and slammed the door Aster was heading for shut. "None of you are going anywhere." He said in an eerily calm voice. "Until these people are brought in not a single student is allowed off campus. We don't know if the bounty will extend to your fellow classmates." Aster nodded and stepped away from the door.

"Even though they're not my classmates and I could care less what happens to them." He grumbled. No one bothered to start an argument with him.

"Okay so, recap." Rocket said. He held up his paw and started counting on his fingers. "Two in the hospital, two injured but not seriously, one who seems like he needs a 100 year nap," Rocket glanced at Meteor, "one hothead who wants to get himself killed," a glance at Aster, "and a band of morons who no doubt all have the same thoughts running through their naïve minds." He glanced at the others. "Does that about cover it?" They all nodded.

"So what're we supposed to do then?" Universal asked. "Just have a totally normal school life while someone may, or may not, be out to get us but, it's cool right. I mean, the retired Guardians of the Galaxy who haven't done so much as travel to Nova HQ for the past 16 some years are totally going to protect us from what I suspect are a new crew of intergalactic terrorists." She smiled at the Guardians. "Right?"
