TAULANA SMILED AT THE MERCHANT, handing him units before grabbing food for her and her partners. Rocket the racoon and Groot. They were bounty hunters, searching and turning in those who have high bounties on their head.

She told them to stick together and not to get into any trouble. But she should have known better. Lana heard the commotion and immediately knew that they were part of it.

Lana looked over at the bridge above and saw a fight happening. The young woman sighed, "Seriously, Rocket?" She grumbled as she made her way through the crowd.

Rocket was impulsive, he's always the reason why they got into fights.

Groot, he's just protective. No the smartest tree in the forest, but he knew how to fight. He's been protecting Lana since she was a child.

She watched as Rocket was thrown to the air and turned to see the woman who did it throw a dagger at a man, making him drop a silver orb. It rolled off the bridge and Taulana jumped from the railing to get it.

Were they seriously all fighting over this thing?

She swiped the orb from the ground and began running. An electric bola wrapped around her legs and she hit the ground hard. The green woman ran up and grabbed the orb, "Thanks, little girl."

"I'm not a little girl." Taulana growled as the other woman ran off. She ripped off the bola and watched as the man in a red jacket jumped down and land on top the green woman.

The two rolled around and the woman ended up on top, her knee pressed into his neck, but the man put a jet onto her leg and she flew into a fountain, making Taulana smirk.

Groot walked up behind the man and put him into a bag, "Quite smiling, you idiot. You're supposed to be a professional." Rocket commented.

The woman got up from the fountain and pushed Rocket to the side before walking over to Groot. As she was cutting off Groot's arms, Taulana ran over and kicked her away, "Look at him! You made him upset!" Taulana scolded.

The bag behind the green woman opened and the man shot her with a quad blaster before running. "I live for the simple things. Like how much this is gonna hurt." Rocket smiled, aiming his laser cannon and shot the ball of electricity at the man, shocking him, "Yeah. Writhe, little man."

"Why were we after him?" Lana asked, hands on her hips as she was trying to gain her breath,

"He's got a 40K bounty on him." Rocket answered,

Taulana nodded, "Cool. So why was she after him?" She asked and looked at the green woman,

"I don't know."

"Alright then." Lana sighed,

Groot whimpered and looked down sadly at his severed arms and Lana patted his side with comfort, "It'll grow back, you dast idiot. Quit whining." Rocket sneered at the tree and Lana glared,

"Be nice. He's sensitive." She began walking over to the man when a yellow light surrounded her, "Shit."

"By the authority of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest for endangerment to life and the destruction of property."

"Taulana, it's been a while." Dey commented as he grabbed her, "Your mother is not going to be happy."

Taulana shrugged, "I'm still her favorite child."

"You're the only child." The man in the red jacket was lifted off the ground and Dey squinted his eyes at him, "Hey! If it isn't Star-Prince."

The 'Star-Prince' rolled his eyes and sighed, "Star-Lord."

"Oh, sorry. Lord. " Dey turned to his partner, "I picked this guy up a while back for petty theft. He's got a code name."

"Come on, man. It's a...it's an outlaw name." Star Lord replied and Lana chuckled,

"Just relax, pal. It's cool to have a code name. It's not that weird." Dey commented as they led both of them towards the ship.

"It's kinda weird." Lana replied,

"You're right, it's totally weird." Dey responded,

They were both sat down and Taulana watched as Groot and Rocket were put on the other ship. The man next to her, Star Lord, stared at her.

"What?" She snapped, narrowing her eyes at him,

"You're the Nova Prime's daughter." Star Lord whispered,

She rolled her eyes, "You don't have to whisper, dummy. And yes, I'm her daughter... adopted." Taulana replied, "Don't say anything."

"Why not?"

"Cause where we're going, that's gonna get me killed."
