Chapter 1: AWOL

Chapter 1: AWOL

Missouri, Earth, 1980

A car drove down the car as the radio was playing. Two people were inside the car as the girl was smiling to herself, singing along with the song. The man smiles as he watches her as she was enjoying her time. "There's a girl in this Harbor town and she works layin' whiskey down. They said Brandy, fetch another round. And she serves them whiskey and wine." she sings.

The man just laughs as he was having the time of his life. "The sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be." she sang aloud, then the man laughs, pulling her in and kisses her head.

They drove up to a restaurant of Dairy Queen, he then parks and they got out of the car and hurried out into the woods. The woman giggles as he pulls her along "Come on!" he tells her, "Slow down!" she tells him as they hurried down the trail "Come on, this way my river lily." he tells her as she was just laughing as he pulls her along. "Where are you taking me?" she asks him as they went through the bushes. "Come on, come on, come on," he tells her.

Then they came to a strange plant that was sitting on the ground. "Look, look," he tells her and she gasps in awe. "Oh, it's beautiful," she states in wonder. "I was afraid it wouldn't take to the soil. But it rooted quickly. And soon, it will be everywhere. All across the universe." he tells her and then looks at her as she giggles. "Well I don't know what you're talking about, but I like the way you say it," she said to him and he sighs in awe. "My heart is yours, Meredith Quill," he tells her.

She just smiles at him as she wraps her arms around his neck and his arms around her waist and pulls her in close. "I can't believe I fell in love with a spaceman," she said with such wonder and kisses him. Down below them, the plant was twitching as it was growing. All I can say is that that is no ordinary plant.

The Sovereign

The guardians were gathered on a platform as they were ready and waiting. "Showtime A-holes," Peter calls out as he looks down at the scanner. "It will be here any minute," he states as Ember tosses a gun to Gamora. "Which will be its loss," she states and then he looks over at the two as they power up their guns. "I thought your thing was a sword?" he asks them and they looked at him. "We were hired to stop an interdimensional beast from feeding on those batteries," Gamora informs him. "And we're going to stop it with a sword?" Ember asks him as she arches her eyebrow at him.

He looks for an answer to answer. "It's just swords were your thing and guns were mine. But I guess was both doing guns now. I just didn't know that." he answers her and Ember scoffs at him. "You have seen me use guns before Peter. Now I have to use a sword?" she snaps at him. But Gamora places her hand on Ember's shoulder and calms her down. Ember inhales sharply as she looks away. "Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket's aero-rigs," Gamora asks as Drax was bare chest and now jetpack on his back like the others. "It hurts," he answers and Ember looks at him. "Hurts?" she asks him. He looks at her for a moment, "I have sensitive nipples." he mutters to them as he looks away.
