The Milano flew through the empty space, everyone was dressed in their attires as Rocket was humming to himself as he was working on building something, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Yo, Ranger Rick! What are you doing? Peter questions as he walks up to him. "You can't just take apart my ship without asking me!" Peter shouts at him. "See, what is this?" Peter questions as he went to pick one up, "Don't touch that. It's a bomb." Rocket informs him and Peter pulls back. Ember rolls her eyes as she leans against the wall. "A bomb?" Peter asks him. "Yup." Rocket answers him

Ember arches her eyebrow at him, "And you leave it laying around?" Peter questions him. "I was going to put it in a box." Rocket states and he pulls out a crate. Then Ember's eyes widen as she saw the two presents that Meredith has given them. "What's a box going to do?" Peter questions him, then Rocket picks one of them up. "How about this one?" he asks then Ember marches over to him, "No." she states, he looks up at her in surprise, dropping the box and she kicks it back under the table. "Why? What is it?" he asks her, "None of your business." she snaps at him, he held up his hands and she walks back to the wall she was leaning against. "What is that?" Peter asks and Rocket looks down at his invention. "That's for if things get really hardcore," he answers and smirks up at him.

Peter rolls his eyes and then turns away, "Or if you wanna blow up moons." he states and Ember shook her head as she places her sword back on her hip under her waist shawl. "No one's blowing up moons," Gamora informs him. Rocket just groans "You just wanna suck the joy out of everything." he grumbles to himself. Then Peter walks past the table, setting the orb down and walks up to the screen. "So, listen, I'm gonna need your buy's coordinates," Peter informs Gamora as Ember walks up to the table and leans against it. Gamora picks up the orb and looks down at it, "We're heading in the direction. For now." she answers him. Then he turns to her. "You know, if you want our help, you're going to have trust a little bit more to give a little more than, we're heading in the direction," Ember informs her.

Gamora just looks at her. "And how much do you trust me?" She asks her and Ember smirks to herself. "We would trust you more if you told us what this is," Peter answers as he took the orb out of Gamora's hand. She just looks at him "Because I'm guessing it's some kind of weapon." Peter states as he sets the orb down on the table. "I don't know what it is." she answers and Ember sighs "And I guess your buyer does. Considering that he was willing to buy 4 billion for it." she states and Gamora nods at her. Then Drax took the orb "If it a weapon, we should use it against Ronan." he states and they look at him "Put it down, you fool. You'll destroy us all." Gamora snaps at him, then Drax glares at her. "Or just you, murderess!" he snaps at her and Ember was getting closer to snapping herself.

Then Gamora got in her face, "I let you live once, princess!" she shouts at him and Peter looks over at Ember as she was right about there. "I am not a princess!" he shouts back at her and Ember had enough. She marched up to the both of them, gripping the back of their necks and pressed against their pressure points, making them go stiff. "I have had it with your fucking attitudes and grudges against each other and if you both continue with this shouting I will throw you both out of the air-lock? You understand me?!" she snaps at them both as they were trying to break free. "SAY IT!" she shouts and they nodded. "We understand." they choked out and she lets them go and the lean against the table. "Good," she states and then took the orb. "And until we meet this buyer, I am not letting it leave my person, got it?" she questions them and they nodded at her.

She then turns away, back to her wall and leans against it with her arms crossed. Peter exhales and looks at them as they looked at him in shock. He held his hands up, "Don't look at me, you pissed her off. And we're stuck together until we get the money." he informs them and Drax pulls himself out. "I have no interest in money," he states and walks away. "Good. That means more money for the four of us," he states and Groot scoffs at him. Peter looks at him and sighs, "For the five of us. Partners." he informs them. "We have an agreement, but I would never be partners with the likes of you," Gamora informs him and Ember scoffs. "Right back at cha," she shouts at her. Peter looks at her and sighs "I'll tell the buyer we're on our way. And Quill, you ship is filthy." she states and walks away, then Ember went to charge after her, but Peter held her back. "Fuck you too, bitch!" she shouts at her, but Peter pats her back. "Oh, she has no idea. If I had a black light, this place would look like a Jackson Pollok painting." he states with a smirk, then Ember pulls back and looks up at him, "And I've told you countless times, clean this ship up." she states and he chuckles at her. Rocket just shook his head at them. "You two have issues, Quill."
