Gamora narrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she examined Zonia's newly healed eye. "I have never seen any wound heal this fast."

"Does it hurt at all?" Gamora asked but Zonia just shook her head.

"I can't feel anything. My birthmark started to glow and then my eyes magically healed."

"I am Groot."

"We must help Zonia, she could be dying for all we know."

Zonia's eyes widened as she heard Drax's statement, "Dying!"

Peter raised his arms up and tried to reassure Zonia. "Woah, let's not jump to conclusions."

"No one is jumping anywhere, Quill."

Peter put a hand to his head and groaned. "Not what I mean Drax."

"Am I dying guys? Cause I don't know!" Zonia shouted.

"Stop overreacting, pinkie. You're not dying, it could just be allergies."

"Allergies, really?" Gamora stated disbelievingly.

Drax just shook his head. "Children with allergies do not glow and heal rapidly."

"Young adult Drax," Zonia grunted and turned to Rocket, "Besides, I don't have allergies Rocket."

Groot enthusiastically raised his tiny hand in the air. "I am Groot."

"Yes, Groot."

"I am Groot." he said.

"No I don't think pinkie was bitten by a radioactive bug, Groot."

Zonia just sighed and looked down. "It's just so weird, when it started to glow I felt something inside of me."

"What did you feel?" Drax asked.

Zonia gripped her chest. "Like, it's this feeling inside of me that makes me feel this weird, powerful energy inside of me."

"Damn pinkie, you sure it's not just gas."

"No Rocket, I don't think it's gas. I get weird feelings like this all the time when I'm around people." she explained and pointed at Peter, "especially with you Peter."

"Really." Peter said surprised.

"Yeah, it's like, I can feel this strange energy inside of you."

Peter nodded his head and gave her a weird look. "Huh, that's interesting."

Zonia pulled out her crystal from her pocket. "But my eye is the least my concerns right now. I'm concerned about this crystal my father gave me."

He pointed at the crystal in awe. "I am Groot."

Zonia scratched the back of her head. "My father said that it would lead me to my destiny and I have to follow a path."

"How can this shiny rock lead you to your destiny?"

"That's the part I can't figure out." Zonia said sheepishly.

"You said you went to various places to investigate this?" Gamora asked.

Zonia handed Gamora the crystal to Gamora and sighed. "Yeah, but they didn't know where it was from. It was so foreign to them."

"Perhaps we should do an investigation of our own."

Peter brought out his holopad and began typing. "I think I know the perfect place to start."

"Really, you do Peter?" Zonia asked enthusiastically.
