Rocket, Groot and I sat on the edge of a water fountain. Well, Rocket and I sat on the edge, Groot was in the middle of the water fountain, drinking the water which was flowing down into his mouth.

"Look at this guy! Can you believe they call us criminals when he's assaulting us with that haircut?"

My boyfriend was making fun of every one to pass the time as we tried to find somebody worth some units. It usually wasn't too hard to find somebody with a bounty but it usually wasn't very many units they were gonna give us.

"What is this thing? Look how it thinks it's so cool. It's not cool to get help! Walk by yourself, you little gargoyle,"

I know he's not the smartest of people but he should know that's a toddler. Or maybe he was just doing it to find someone to laugh at. Either way, I chuckled and went along with his shenanigans.

"Look at Mr Smiles over here. Where's your wife, old man? What a Class-A pervert, right guys?"

Slowly, I nodded my head and smiled, he was having fun, why ruin that? After seeing me agree, he moved onto Groot.

"Right, Groot? Groot?"

Rocket looked over his shoulder to finally notice Groot drinking out of the water fountain.

"Don't drink fountain water, you idiot! That's disgusting!"

To be honest, I don't know what Rocket expected, he was part tree after all.

"I am Groot" (I wasn't drinking the water)

He was obviously getting frustrated. Not in an angry sort of way but in a, 'I can't believe you're my friend' way.

"Yes you did, I just saw you doing it! Why are you lying?"

I grabbed Rocket's sides and sat him on my lap.

"It's Groot, what's he gonna do?"

If he could blush, his face would be bright red as he hid his face in his hands. He liked every one to think he was tough but Groot and I knew better.

Just as I buried my face into his fur, his device went off, indicating there was somebody who we could hand in for units. He leaned towards the device, still in my lap, and grabbed it.

"Looks like we got one. Okay, how bad does somebody wanna find you?"

I followed his gaze to a man I had heard of before. Peter Quill, went by Starlord. Despite not knowing too much about him, I knew people would want him for big units.

"40,000 units?! We're gonna be rich!"

He looks at me, seeing my shocked expression, then turning to Groot to see if he was the same. However, he was back to drinking the fountain water. I giggled at his antics and Rocket sighed.

Starlord entered a store and we made sure we were prepared by checking our weapons and such.

Before we could come up with a small plan, we saw him being pushed out of the store, yelling about something that we couldn't hear.

We then quickly noticed a person leaning against the store, starting to talk to him. It wasn't just any person though. Gamora, daughter of Thanos and works for Ronan, two bad combinations.

Suddenly, Gamora took something in Starlord's hand and ran off, him following close behind.

They quickly circled back to the area we were in, Starlord now having the object. Gamora tackled him, holding a knife to his throat and said something to him.

Just before she could slit his throat, I tackled her to the ground, getting off of her so Groot could restrain her with his branches.

"Put him in the bag! Put him in the bag!"

Groot goes to put Gamora in the bag, wasting time, we couldn't be seen by Nova.

"No! Not him, her! Learn genders, man!"

The orb lay on the ground, leaving Starlord to pick it up and start running. Gamora immediately escaped, chasing after Starlord and us following close behind.

The two said some more things to each other that we couldn't hear and Gamora pinned Starlord to the ground by his wrists.

Before we could intervene, Starlord planted something on Gamora's back, causing her to go up into the air. He got up and just as he was about to walk away, Groot put the bag over his head.

Groot and I smiled, happy that we had finally captured him.

"Quit smiling you idiots, you guys are supposed to be professionals,"

Out of no where, Gamora came running towards us. We tried to shoot her but she was too fast and knocked Rocket and I of us to the ground.

She then cut Groot's arms off, the tree-like creature dropping the bag and sadly looking at his arms.

"It'll grow back, Groot, don't worry,"

He stopped looking so upset after that. Gamora opened the bag, only to get shot by Starlord. Just as we thought he had gotten away, he fell to the ground.

Nova. Just our fucking luck.
