Idiots

I thought to myself as the others fought.

"What were you thinking?" Quill asked.

"Dude, they were really easy to steal!"

"That is your defense?" I asked.

"Come on! You saw how that High Priestess talked down to us. Now I'm teaching her a lesson!"

"I didn't realize your motivation was altruism. It's really a shame the Sovereign's mistaking your intentions and they're trying to kill us." Quill said kindly.

"Exactly."

"I was being sarcastic!"

"Oh, no! You're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!"

"Can your bickering be put on a hold until after we survive this massive space battle?" Gamora asked.

"More coming!" Quill informed us as more Sovereign ships appeared behind us.

"Good, I want to kill some guys!" Rocket said.

They started to shot at us, but Quill dodged them and tried to fly away.

"Your not killing anyone, those ships are remotely opperated." Gamora said.

"Dammit". Rocket grumbled.

"What's the nearest habitable planet?" Quill asked. I walked over to the panel.

"It is called Berhert." I said.

"How many jumps?"

"Only one. But the access point is 47 clicks away. And you have to go through that quantum asteroid field." Gamora said as a field of asteroids came into view. Making my eyes widen ever so slightly.

"Quill, to make it through that you'd have to be the greatest piolet in the universe." Drax said.

"Lucky for us, I...." But Quill was cut off by Rocket.

"I am. What are you doing?"

"I've been flying this rig since I was 10 years old."

"I was cybernetically engineered to piolet ships."

"You were cybernetically engineered to be a douchbag."

"Stop it." I said.

"Later on tonight, your're gonna be laying down, there's gonna be something squishy in your pillowcase. And you're gonna be like, 'what's this?,' and it's gonna be because I put a turd in there."

"You put your turd in my bed and I shave you!"

"Oh, it won't be my turd. It'll be Drax's."

Drax let out a loud laugh.

"I have famously huge turds!"

"We're about to die, and this is what we're discussing?" Gamora asked me as I shrugged my shoulders.

"We are surrounded by idiots." I said simply.

"Hey!" Quill and Rocket yelled in unison.

"Son of a..." Rocket said before Quill cut him off.

"Dude! Seriously!"

"Hey! Let me...." then there was a crash as the back was blown off, leaving Nebula hanging by her cuffs as she tried not to fly out.

"Idiots!"

Rocket smiles.

"Well, that's what you get- when Quill flies."

I picked up an object and chucked it at the back of Rocket's head.

"Ow!"

"We still have a Sovereign craft behind us." Gamora said.

"Our weapons are down." Quill said.

"20 clicks to the jump! Hold on." I yelled.

The Sovereign shot at us.

"15 clicks to the jump!" Gamora yelled.

"10 clicks!"

"Die, spaceship!" Drax laughed out as he shot the last ship down.

"Five clicks!" I yelled.

"Son of a... They went around the field." Quill said as the ships surrounded us, but all of the sudden a big white ship shot the Sovereign's ships.

"One click!" Gamora yelled.

"What is that?" Rocket asked.

"Who cares? That's the jump point! Go!"

"It's a guy."

We hit the atmosphere of Berhert, the ship flying through the air shakily.

"Oh, my god. He's still out there?" Gamora said, curious to what she was talking about, I looked out and saw Drax outside the ship flying about.

"Groot, put your seat belt on! Prepare for a really bad landing!" Quill yelled, Gamora was outside holding the ship, Quill threw me to the seat next to him, we then soon met the trees. I closed my eyes tightly I reached out and grabbed Quill's hand clutching it tightly as we crashed into the forest, jerking  around. We soon crashed. I slowly opened my eyes and took a deep breath. I turned my head to see that I was still holding Quill's hand. He seemed to notice and looked down at our hands, smiling at me. I quickly took my hand away and undid my seat belt and got up to walk out of the destroyed ship.

"That was awesome! Yes!" Drax yelled as I grew irritated at our destroyed ship. Everyone else was outside looking at the Milano.

"Look at this! Where is the other half of our ship?" I asked.

"My ship." Quill said while I glared at him.

"Either one of you could have gotten us through that field...had you flown with what's between your ears instead of what's between your legs!" Gamora yelled. Just as mad as I was.

"If what's between my legs had a hand on it...I guarantee I could have landed this ship with it." Quill said, which irritated me even more.

"Peter, we almost died because of your arrogance." I said as his eyes widened in surprise, as well as everyone else. I never called Quill by his first name, I do not know why, but for as long as I've been with them, I have only adressed him as Quill.

"More like because he stole...the Anulax batteries!"

"They're called Harbulary batteries." Drax said.

"No, they're not!" Quill yelled.

"Do you know why I did it, Star-Munch? Hmm?"

"I'm not gonna answer to 'Star-Munch'."

"I did it because I wanted to!"

"Dick."

"What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up fifty ships!"

"How little?" Drax asked.

Rocket held his thumb and forefinger close together.

"Well, I don't know, like this?"

"A little one-inched man saved us?" Gamora asked.

"Well, if he got closer, I'm sure he would be much larger."

"It's how eyesight works, you stupid raccoon." Quill said.

"Don't call me a raccoon!"

"I'm sorry. I took it too far. I meant trash panda."

Rocket looks around confused.

"Is that better?"

"I don't know." Drax said.

Quill snickered.

"It's worse. It's so much worse."

"You son of a..." Rocket said as he got ready to attack Quill.

"Hey!"

"I've had it with you!"

"No! Back up!"

"Someone followed you through the jump point. Set me free, you'll need my help." Nebula said.

"I'm not a fool, Nebula." Gamora said.

"You are a fool if you deprive yourself a hand in combat."

"You'll attack me the moment I let you go."

"No, I won't."

"You'd think an evil supervillan would learn how to properly lie." Quill said.

"I bet it's the one-inched man." Quill said as the big white ship landed.

"After all these years, I've found you." The man said.

"And who the hell are you?" Quill asked as we held out our weapons.

"I figured my rugged good looks would make it obvious. My name is Ego...and I'm your dad, Peter."
