Peyton and her reluctant allies made their way to the impound area to look through their stuff. Peyton looked through the window and spotted her ship.

"Yeah! There it is. Get my ship. It's the Milano, the orange and blue one over in the corner." Peyton said.

"They crumpled my pants up into a ball. That's rude! They folded yours," Rocket complained. Peyton hurriedly searched the containers and found her possessions. She took the bag and opened it up quickly but couldn't find anything but the orb.

"The orb's there. Let's go!" Gamora shouted. Peyton continued looking for her Walkman. She needed her Walkman and her Awesome Mixtape. It was the only thing she had left of her mom.

"Wait, wait, wait," Peyton said. "That bastard didn't put it back."

"Put what back?" Gamora asked. When she wasn't looking, Peyton took the orb and stuffed it in her pocket, in case they thought of leaving her.

"Here," Peyton said. She gave her friend the bag. "Get them to the ship, I will be right back."

"How are you going to possibly..." Gamora asked. To Peyton, the girl sounded concerned for her.

"Just keep the Milano close by. Go. Go!" Peyton said. Quickly, she got back into her tank top, jeans, boots, and red leather jacket with her mask upon her head. She held two blasters in her hands as the guards were gaining up on her. Peyton hardly killed people unlike her two companions, Drax and Gamora. She only stunned people, even the villains who tried to capture her. She shot at the guards and made her way to the blue bastard's room.

"Well, how's she going to get to us?" Rocket asked concerned.

"She declined to share that information with me,' Gamora answered in the passenger's seat.

"Well, screw this, then! I am not waiting around for some time kid with a death wish. You got the orb, right?"

"Yes," Gamora said, looking at the bag that Peyton had given her. However, she couldn't find that orb that contained whatever their buyer was interested in. Peyton was tossing the object up and down, knowing it was right to steal the orb from her reluctant companions. She got closer as she heard the blue idiotic guard listening to her music. She took her blaster and shot him, set for stun, and stole her Walkman back as Peyton made her way back to her allies.

"If we don't leave now, we will be blown to bits," Rocket snapped.

"No! We're not leaving without the orb," Gamora snapped. Drax looked out and saw the kid returning. They stood by the pod as Peyton was brought up. Drax and Gamora held onto Peyton's arms as she got up.

"This child shows spirit. She shall make a keen ally in the battle against Ronan," said Drax. He looked at the girl. "Companion, what were you retrieving?"

She showed him the Walkman and walked past him.

"You're an imbecile," Drax said in shock. Peyton later walked by to see Rocket tear apart her ship.

"Woah, woah, woah! Yoh, Ranger Rick!" Paige shouted. "What are you doing? You can't take apart my ship without asking me!" She gestured to the object on the ground. "See, what is this?"

"Don't touch that, it's a bomb," Rocket said.

"A bomb?"

"Yep."

"And you leave it lying around?"

"I was going to put it in a box."

"What's a box going to do?"

Rocket reached into her drawers and grabbed onto the wrapped present Peyton's mom gave her before she died.

"How about this one?" He reached in to touch it
