Enjoy~

"Okay everyone, we gotta find this helmet thing befor-" Peter gets cut off by Rocket, "before it gets in the wrong hands" he mimics, "We know Peter, we were there when the dude explained it. What's the plan?" He says impatiently, Peter responds scratching the back of his neck nervously, "Well I, um..I don't really have a plan..." we all look at him, "How are you the leader if you don't have a plan?" Rockets crosses his arms, "Hey!" Peter yells, offended by Rockets question, "I'm the leader cause I created the team" he claims, crossing his arms as well, while pouting like a child, Drax then says, "I agree with Rocket, if anything I should be the leader" Rocket turns around to face Drax and yells, "Why on Earth should you be the leader, your brain is literally the size of a walnut! If anything I should be the leader" Rocket finishes, smirking smugly, "I may not have the same IQ as you but I have braun you imbecile, Unlike him!" Drax roars, pointing at Peter, "Hey!" Peter yells, once again offended, Rockets yells back "My entire point here is the leader needs brains!" They continue bickering, 'this is seriously getting old' I think to myself, Gamora then cuts in, "SHUT UP!" causing them to stop fighting and look at her, "The leader is Peter and that's final, so get over it" Peter nods at her and says, "Thank you" I finally speak up, "I think I saw the helmet in the shed over there" pointing in the direction of the shed, "Why didn't you say something sooner?" Rocket asks, I respond quietly, "I didn't want to interrupt..." Gamora, Peter and Groot smile, "I am Groot" I look to Rocket, he answers before I ask him to translate, already used to it, "He said the only thing you'd be interrupting is these two idiots fighti- W-WAIT! HEY!" Peter points at Rocket while laughing, "Thats how it feels! Be offended!" I laugh as well, Rocket just crosses his arms and mutters profanities under his breath, Peter then says, "We can start looking in the morning, I'm sure we have time, everyone get some sleep" we all nod and head to our rooms.

I wake up quickly due to a big booming sound, I get out of bed and run into the main area of the ship with my blanket wrapped around me, nothing seems damaged so I look outside the window, seeing water drops on it, "What th-" my sentence gets cut off by another boom, I yelp, jump on the couch by the window and cover up, 'why hasn't anybody else woken up by now?' I think to myself, shaking in fear, I get up cautiously and look at Peters door, questioning if I should wake him up, another boom is heard, causing me to run into his room without anymore questioning. "Peter" I whisper, tapping his face, he wakes up and slaps my hand away, he opens his eyes, seeing my scared face looking back at him "What's wrong kiddo?" He asks, eyes filled with concern, before I can respond another boom occurs, I scream and jump in Peters bed and roll up in a ball, he looks down at me, shocked but then chuckles lightly, he pats my head, "Calm down kid, It's just thunder, nothing to be afraid of" once again another boom is heard, causing me to shake more and start tearing up, Peter sighs, remembering he used to be the same way when he was young, his mom used to put his headphones on him, wrap him up and hold him close so that's what he's going to do, he gets up to get his headphones, "Sit up kid" I do as told, he puts them on me and instructs me to lay down again, I comply, he lays down next to me and holds me to his chest, before I hear another boom of thunder, a song starts playing, "Ooo Child, things will get easier, ooo child, things will get brighter" I relax to the music, snuggle up closer to Peter and close my eyes, he smiles down at me and does the same, 'mom would be proud' he thinks.

I wake up in a empty bed, I look around and notice I'm in Peters room, "Oh yeah" I say to myself, remembering last night, Terra is weird, water falling out of the sky and big scary noises called thunder, what's the point of all of that? I exit Peters room and see the Guardians gathered around the table eating, Peter is the first one to notice me, "Good morning kiddo, sleep well?" I nod at his question and smile, Gamora taps a seat next to her, "Come and eat, we got a big day ahead of us" I sit down and look at the food in front of me, Yaro root pancakes, I lick my lips and dig in.

After we're all done eating, we start on our mission, we observe Sam's daily routine, he walks out his house, goes down the road and stands near a sign that says 'Bus Stop' then a big yellow machine comes and picks him up, Peter later on tells me it's called a school bus and it brings him to a place called school, where kids get educated, I don't know what to think of it.

We wait till he gets back home and write down the exact time he leaves and comes back, so we know when to grab the helmet without out him knowing. The next day we wait till he leaves and head towards the shed, Peter turns the handle and opens the door, we all enter and start looking, I look on the shelf where he put it last time I saw him but it's not there, "Where is it?" Rocket asks impatiently, throwing stuff around to look, "I don't know, when I was in here, it was in this exact spot" I say, gesturing to the shelf, "Crap" Peter says, "What now Peter?" Drax asks, "I guess we just wait till the kid returns and observe his routine again" we all groan and go back to hiding and wait for Sam to come home.

We see him exit the bus, Peter uses his mask to zoom in on him, he sees the helmet inside his bag, "Just as I thought" he says, taking his mask off, "What is it?" Gamora asks, "He took the thing with him to school" he replies, Rocket looks shocked and asks, "Did he see us or something?" Peter just sighs and shakes his head, "I don't know" we go silent, Drax breaks it, "What now?" Peter looks like he's in deep thought, then a invisible light bulb goes over his head, he looks at me and smiles, "What?" I ask, slightly nervous, he chuckles and responds, "(Y/N), looks like your going to school".
