Prologue l

(MCU!Adam Warlock x Ex-Avenger!Reader)

Description: I live for angst, and this is going to be just a short few parts where reader rejects Adam's advances but slowly finds themselves being hit with the realization that they do indeed harbor feelings; although, not as strongly, but they were beginning to grow.

Warnings: mentions of canonical deaths, swearing, reader fell for Steve Rogers,(more will be added accordingly)

Word count: 1,456

If you're reading this then, yes, the description is clickbait cuz it doesn't happen till way later in this short ahh story I'm writing.

None of this is proofread.

Follows the mcu timeline so keep up!

However I’d like to inform you that this is very much simplified and is based around vol.3 of Guardians of The Galaxy as well as Endgame, a small brief moment of Love and Thunder and the Holiday Special.

Enjoy and pls don't come for me, I'm just having fun and simping for this golden mf :)

Your life growing up on Earth was normal, it was simple and easy. You defiantly had it a lot easier than most kids your age, your parents weren't wealthy by any means, but they worked enough to keep you through school, annual trips and any interest or hobbies you had. Life was definitely complicated; it has a way of going so smoothly then immediately taking a quick turnaround.

You noticed many changes and small things you never noticed before, as you got older you started to realize some things didn't add up. You were one of the only kids who never had a story of hospital trips or broken bones. That is until you realized, in your early youth, that you weren't like many of your other peers. You had a condition, or so you thought.

You had an inhuman amount of strength which didn't fully begin to develop until your early teen years. The early signs in your youth were a healing factor you didn't even realize you had. Your mother called it a "blessing," a display of a Devine power watching over her only child, and your father couldn't agree more but that didn't stop them from worrying for your safety; not wanting you to make outrageous decisions. You had been through more than a handful of dangerous things, not limited to pretty hard falls, sporting accidents and worst of all. a car accident.

Your mother thought it was a blessing, but it was far from it, it was a horrible curse that tore you away from your family. That was a day you'd never forget, it was the day you lost both your parents. It was supposed to be a simple run to the grocery store, but you wanted to get ice cream with the money you earned at your first job. What growing young adult wouldn't want to spend their first paycheck on something they love?

What a sick way for life to show you just how horrible it can be.

"I want to do something nice for my favorite parents."

"We're your only parents, goofy."

"The best."

It was so wholesome, so relaxed. Nothing in that moment mattered. Then, just as your father slowed down at the stop light a car driving way over the speed limit rammed into the back of your car. It wouldn't have been as bad if it stopped at that but as traffic was picking up a semi slammed into the right side, everything spiraled from there. more than five to six cars were crumbled, tossed and turned. It wasn't just your parents you lost; many others were critically injured with only four deaths.

You woke up in the hospital weeks after, your body resting to heal all the wounds that the accident caused, it didn't take long for the world around you to haze together in a never-ending loop. You spent years fading in and out of consciousness, hurting more people than you'd like to just to get some sort of feeling within your chest.

It was mid-April when they found you, 'they' being SHEILD. They had been watching you for a long time, according to Nick Fury, an odd fatherly figure you had become close too.

They trained you, made you a strong independent young adult. They helped you control your strength, to hide your weaknesses and to be just what they needed for years to come. One question always plagued your mind and that was how you came to be. It was a mystery even to the knowledge of anyone in SHEILD, but you were still accepted, loved, happy even especially when you found out they had their own group called the Avengers.

In those years you made friends, or at least that's what you considered them. It was like a small group of friends that you worked with, but it was all you ever knew, and what you needed. You had met someone too, someone who rivaled your raw strength and endurance, his name was Steve Rogers. He was a superhuman from the past, a past you only head from in history books without any mentions of Hydra.

You fought alongside them before the Snap.

You became close to Rocket and Nebula during the aftermath of Thanos' cleanse. Their whole friend group was gone and with no one else to turn to, you welcomed them in without hesitation, letting them bunk in your small space. Yes, the remaining Avenger's welcomed them too but not as closely as you had, not as emotionally intimate.

You were nothing short of sweet with an even shorter fuse, a surprising mix the two didn't expected from an innocent, young looking Terran. You and Nebula had various heated arguments, although none of it was taken to heart due to missing the ones you've lost, which none of you could blame the other for. As much as Nebula was easy to annoy, she was just as hardheaded, completely stubborn to any of your helping words or actions. Rocket was just about the same dare you say a little less.

It took you years to break Nebula down enough to even have her talk about her sister; Rocket folded after a few to many drinks after only a year, speaking little of his younger years, mostly his inability to form a decent connection he didn't ruin.

They both came to you to deal with their sadness, and guilt. Each time one of them came to you, you'd dropped everything to welcome them in with open arms and sweet words to help them through each panic attacks, wants of self-harm and fears.

You weren't just Rocket and Nebulas rock; you were everyone's remaining will to keep pushing forward during those dark days. You lost so little compared to them... so little. It's funny, your lack of loss felt like nothing compared to the hardships they faced. You lost most of your friends from joining SHIELD then the Avenger's and your parents were lucky enough to not see what the world had come too. Everyone in the Avengers were close to you but none of them were as close to you as the only person you had left. Steve had been your stone during the whole five years of collapse on Earth. It may not have felt like much, but he was the closest thing you had to family left until you met Rocket and Nebula, then life felt just a little fuller.

You and Steve had an understanding, a mutual agreement to keep yourselves afloat. You knew he still missed Peggy, even after all these years. That didn't stop you from catching feelings, feeling you knew were wrong and forbidden, but those five years opened up your eyes to what kind of person he really was. Just like everyone else he would come to you when it started to really gnaw at him, and those nights spent talking, crying about anything and everything were just that... everything to you in the most bittersweet way possible.

After everything happened, defeating Thanos for good, losing a close friend not only to you but to Steve, gaining back the ones that were snapped away, Rocket had come to you after everything had been set back to semi-normal lively hood. He offered you the possibility of joining his crew and becoming a Guardian, but you refused at first, saying you had things to make sure were in order, but it was mostly to stay beside Steve but like everything good, it didn't last long.

When Steve left to travel back in time to return the stones, you already knew the outcome and every ounce of your being ached with betrayal, not at him but at yourself. You still harbored small feelings even after his dull blue eyes looked up at you, his soft hug embracing you so gently you thought you'd melt. He may have been much much older but that didn't stop you from bursting into tears at losing not only a friend but a love interest.

"You have a life to live too, don't let anyone stop you from living it."

You knew he finally got his wish, his happy ending living life with Peggy you knew the hold on your feelings for him were fantasy and delusion. It hurt more than you would like to admit but you were happy, happy he got everything he dreamed of having and more.

After that you found no real reason to stay on Earth and with everything that had led up to that, you said good-bye to your life on Earth and started a new chapter as not only an ex-Avenger but now a Guardian of The Galaxy.

Meet The Guardians Of The Galaxy

Summary: The Avengers meet the Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Avenger!Female Reader

Warnings: Minimal use of Y/N. Language. A lot of fluff. My poor attempts at being funny.

Word Count: 1.4K

A/N: I'm not sure what this is, but I was just thinking how it might go if the Avengers met the Guardians of the Galaxy. It started with the reader cooing at Groot and Bucky being jealous and this is what came out, lol, hope you like it! Needless to say, this doesn't follow the MCU timeline, like basically all of my other stories. Don't ask me how Thor knows the Guardians, the bitch just do. I also just needed Bucky fluff, like always, and I'm really happy how it turned out! Like always I appreciate asks and messages and am always up for it if you have any ideas.

Masterlist

By this point you’re very aware that there’s life on other planets, that the universe is a place much bigger than you ever imagined. Working with the Avengers allows you to see so many things that you never thought could possibly even exist.

Super soldiers, superheroes, enhanced individuals, even Thor himself is a demi-god from literally a different planet.

This particular demi-god is the reason why today you and the rest of the team find yourselves in the common room of the Avengers Compound, a spaceship casually parked in your yard.

They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy: Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Nebula, Drax and Mantis, literal aliens currently bickering amongst themselves because they came to earth to visit Thor the wrong day, resulting in Thor not being home for their arrival.

"Is that a plushie?" you ask, a little confused, pointing at a little teddy bear-like thing on Quill’s shoulder and effectively ending their search for who is at fault for their mistake.

He looks even more confused than you and asks "What the hell is a plushie? This is Groot, he’s a Flora Colossi."

You decide, for my own peace of mind, to ignore the latin and instead focus on the cute little thing on his shoulder who is now moving and looking at you weirdly.

"I am Groot." he says in the cutest voice ever.

"Oh my god, you're just adorable!" You say, reaching your finger out for him to hold, freaking out at his cuteness.

"I remember when you used to talk to me like that…" you hear Bucky mumble behind you, which makes you laugh and, with your attention still completely on Groot, you tell him "God, you really are a needy bitch, Barnes." at which everybody laughs.

"Yeah? And you’re just a bi-"

"Hey!" you basically yell, interrupting him and startling Groot.

"I’m kidding!" he quickly says, putting up his hands in defeat. With one last glare at Bucky, your attention turns back to Groot.

"I am Groot!" he says again.

"I know honey, you said that." you tell him.

"I am Groot." he says, yet again, at which Sam answers "Yeah, you’re Groot, got it."

Groot says "I am Groot." again and, before Sam can say something that you're sure is gonna be very rude, you turn to the Guardians and ask "Why does he keep saying that?"

Rocket is the one to answer "Well, he don't know talking good like me and you. So his vocabulistics is limited to I and am and Groot. Exclusively in that order."

His answer leaves you all a little dumbfounded but again, for your own sanity, you all seem to decide to let it go.

Instead Bruce asks "So how do you understand him?"

"We speak Groot." Nebula says like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How can you speak ‘Groot’ if he says literally the same three words, in the exact same order, in the same way every time?" Tony asks, starting to get a little frustrated, probably because the genius can’t do something that seems to come really easy to a bunch of space idiots.

"We manage." Quill simply says.

At this point Groot reaches his little hands towards you, signaling that he wants to be picked up, so, before Tony can make any sarcastic comment, you look at Quill and ask, excitement clear on your face "Can I?" while pointing at an awaiting Groot.

"Sure." He says, and you very carefully pick him up and put him on your shoulder.

"Be careful not to move too fast, he’ll hold onto your hair for dear life." Gamora warns you.

"Noted." you say giggling a little when Groot sticks his tongue out to Gamora, then she does the same to him, making everyone else laugh too.

"Buck, look how cute he is." you coo at Groot who's playing with your finger.

"’s not that cute…" he says quietly but you hear him, and apparently so does Groot because he says "I am Groot." in a very annoyed tone that prompts a chorus of whoas and protests from the guardians.

"The acorns on you, kid!" Quill says, and everybody just knows he said some really bad words to Bucky.

"Who even taught you that word?!" Rocket sounds like an exasperated parent.

"I am Groot."

"What do you mean, Drax taught you?! WHY WOULD YOU TEACH HIM THAT?"

"The small tree asked." Drax says unbothered.

"Just because he asks doesn't mean you have to teach him dirty words!"

"How was I supposed to know that?"

"It's really common sense, Drax." Gamora interjects, calmer than Rocket.

"I am Groot."

"See, even Groot knows you don’t have common sense, Drax, that’s why he asked you." Quill says.

"I am Groot."

"I am not stupid, tree!" Drax glares at Groot.

"See, he’s not cute. He’s a disrespectful little shit!" Bucky says, also glaring at poor Groot.

"I am Groot." the guardians snicker, leaving the rest of you confused.

"What? What did he say?" you're too curious not to ask as Groot is now glaring back at Bucky.

"He said he doesn’t understand how a sweet person like you is with someone like him." Nebula translates, earning some gasps and snickers from everyone else too.

You look at Bucky trying hard not to laugh and he looks like he's about 5 seconds away from murdering Groot.

He takes a step towards you but Groot, still on your shoulder, makes the cutest little growl and starts flinging one of his arms around in Bucky’s direction, the other one holding to your hair so as to not fall.

"Oh, he’s ready to fight a bitch." you say unable to hold in your laughter any longer and the others follow you.

"What?" you turn around and Drax is giving you a confused look.

"What?" you say, calming down from your laughter.

"I do not understand. He does not resemble a female dog." he looks at Bucky and then back at you.

"He- I don- What?" you’re as confused as you’ve ever been, everybody else’s faces mirroring your own.

"His people are completely literal, he doesn’t understand metaphors." Rocket explains.

"Oh… fun." Tony says, still a little confused.

"Is it though?" you hear Gamora mumble, before Mantis starts giggling.

"It is!" she says with the joy of a kid on christmas morning.

"It’s really not." Nebula says casually, and from that the Guardians start bickering amongst each other.

You look at Groot who’s still on the warpath with Bucky and then at Rocket, the only one not saying anything.

He meets your eyes and simply says. "This is what I gotta live with."

"Oh, poor little racoon." you coo at him while laughing and that seems to stop the bickering.

"Hey, I am no racoon!" Rocket tells you defensively.

"I am Groot." Rocket groans and Quill snickers.

"Groot’s right, he’s a trash panda." he says knowing the people of earth will know why that’s funny.

Some of the Avengers laugh, but you gasp trying to hide your amusement for Rocket’s sake.

"You know, you might be right, Buck. He’s not that cute and innocent after all." you turn to your boyfriend, who gives you a slight pout.

"I’m cuter than him, right"- he asks you with those puppy eyes he knows make you melt.

"Aww, of course you are, baby." you give him a kiss on the cheek, almost forgetting about Groot on your shoulder until he talks again.

"I am Groot." the Guardians “aww” and coo at him but before you can ask, Mantis explains. "He says he understands now why you’re together."

"He says he can see how much you two love each other." Gamora finishes.

You smile at Groot and he smiles back before making the cutest yawn, looking at Bucky and doing grabby hands at him.

Bucky looks at you and you take his hand and guide it towards where Groot is, he’s uncertain but when Groot climbs on his hand Bucky looks almost like a little kid seeing a butterfly up close for the first time.

He brings Groot against his chest and the little tree gets comfortable and falls asleep almost immediately, while everyone else in the room coos at the two.

"This might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen." you whisper, not wanting to wake up Groot, and Bucky looks up at you and flashes a smile bright enough to light up the whole of New York.

"I guess he is kind of cute." he says looking back down at Groot’s sleeping form, leaving everyone else snickering as quietly as they can, while he imagines how it would be to be like this one day with a baby that’s his and yours, and you can’t help but think the same thing.

Family matters; Peter Quill x teen reader

*Author's note*

Well this request had been sitting in my inbox for awhile and I hope the anon who requested it is out there somewhere in the deep space of tumblr because I finally came around to writing it. It took some time due to life, work and moving houses during the holiday season but finally I was able to sit down and write this oneshot.

So as with any marvel oneshot there are some warnings of swearing, violence, and alluding to SA and r*pe but not on reader but a side character. So if the last warning triggers anyone just know it's not physically named but it is mentioned so I wont be butthurt of you wish to leave the story and not continue reading. Other than that I hope you all enjoy my darlings :)

_____________________________________________________________

“How is it that everytime I come up with a plan we always get what we want? But whenever it’s you who comes up with the plan, we get captured?!” Rocket exclaimed as he dangled upside down along with Peter.

“I already told you it was a face off!” argued Peter.

“And we’ve told you that a face off is a trap if you’re facing off against a stronger opponent!” Nebula snarled.

“It was a pretty convincing plan at first but now I agree with Rocket and Nebula, Peter.” Mantis said.

“You are a dumbass, Quill.” Said Drax.

The Guardians of the Galaxy had decided to help aid Thor in the case of the slaughtering of Gods. Shortly after they had parted, they came across the Aztec God temples but were soon ambushed by the Knights of Huitzilopochtli. Thinking he could go against the Aztec God of War, Peter decided to meet with the God himself in what he liked to call a ‘face off’, however Huitzilopochtli had no interest in making any sort of bargain or peace treaty, instead he now had Rocket and Peter dangling over a lava pit while Nebula, Mantis and Drax were bound in chains by their wrists and ankles on top of stone tables.

He would first sacrifice Rocket and Peter to lava pit, but not before cutting out their hearts and feeding them to his prized jaguars.

“Quill, if we get out of this alive I swear I’ll rip your face off!” Rocket snapped as he wriggled in the chains.

“Yeah, yeah and even if we die you’ll still rip my face off. Just-just—let me think.” Huitzilopochtli’s servants soon brought up three large cages that each contained a jaguar pacing aggressively in their cages. Hungry for blood.

“Let the ritual begin!” Huitzilopochtli proclaimed. The drums began pounding as the chanters did their ritual chant. Soon the Jaguar Knight came forward with a five inch steel dagger in his hands. Suddenly a metal wire shot out and knocked the dagger out of the jaguar knight’s hands. He let out a jaguar-like hiss as he looked up only to be kicked in the face by a young woman in pure black and grey metal suit that fit her like a glove. A metal knife suddenly extended out from the wrist gauntlets and she cut both Rocket and Peter free from their chains.

“Come with me if you want to live.” The mechanical voice from her helmet said. It was all a blur to the Guardians, the rescue happened to fast they hardly knew that they were escaping. Metal and rock had flew across the air and soon the jaguars had been released and were attacking anyone close by, devouring their flesh and feasting on their hearts.

When the Guardians finally got back to their ship and took off Mantis turned to the young woman and thanked her.

“We are grateful for your help in rescuing us.” The young woman touched the side of her helmet and it let out a hiss as it unhooked itself from it’s hinges and she removed her helmet to reveal a young teenage girl with what appeared to be a cybernetic gears infused around her left eye and across her forehead (almost like a circlet).

“No problem. Although I didn’t expect to go saving the Guardians of the Galaxy.”

“Okay first question, how much for the cybernetic circlet on your head?” asked Rocket.

“Rocket!” Mantis and Peter exclaimed.

“What?!”

“Hate to tell you this Rocket but this high-grade of metal is infused to my body.” She told them.

“Never stopped me before.” Shrugged Rocket.

“I am Groot!” Groot snapped.

“I think the main question is how did you know we were down at that ritual chamber?” asked Nebula suspiciously.

“Like I said before I didn’t. I originally went to Huitzilopochtli for a faulty deal on some priceless metal my mom had struck a deal with him. My aunt was originally going to take the job but I offered to go in her place. After all, no one suspects a young girl to do any harm, right?”

“That’s the ploy I’ve done in the past.” Said Nebula.

“After securing the right metal and making the point to never cross Zaofu again, that’s when I heard the drums and I saw you guys about to become his prized jaguar’s next meal. Lucky for us, those beasts don’t have any real loyalty to him.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on just a second there kid. You said you came from Zaofu? As in the Zaofu?” asked Rocket in awe.

“The very same. Unless there’s another planet in the galaxy by that title.”

“What’s Zaofu?” asked Peter.

“Oh-ho! Next to Nidavellir, Zaofu is the second greatest planet to ever exist. It’s home to some of the strongest and rarest metal in the entire galaxy. I would very much like to go there.” Rocket boasted.

“He’s right.” Said Nebula. “The metal from Zaofu is not only said to be the strongest but also the most durable. It’s where—Thanos gained some of my parts to make me better than Gamora.” She said looking down at her arm.

“I thought I had recognized that material. That’s our regenerative metal. Able to put itself back together no matter how extreme the damage. But we’ve only ever used that on people with birth defects or amputees. Had my mother known that it went to Thanos of all people, she’d never would’ve agreed. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’ve gotten used to it.” Nebula shrugged.

“I have to ask though, what is the Guardians of the Galaxy doing at the Temple of Huitzilopochtli? I mean I know you guys are willing to protect those throughout the galaxy but I didn’t think that included Gods of War.”

“It’s a long story.” Peter started off but Mantis said.

“We’re helping Thor with the God Killer.”

“Mantis!” hissed Nebula.

“What? She seems trustworthy.”

“God killer huh? That’s the first I’ve heard of it. I would’ve thought nothing could touch those deities.”

“So we thought too, but then we received a message from one of golden boy’s friends and apparently someone is literally slaughtering gods left and right. Already over 300 of them have been killed.” Explained Rocket. The girl let out a low whistle and said.

“Hog-monkeys. Well if you’re going up against an opponent like that, you’re gonna need something a lot stronger to fight and protect yourselves with. Cause if you though old Huitzilopochtli was bad, you haven’t seen anything yet.”

“You saying you’re allowing us to come to Zaofu?” asked Rocket.

“If you’re still up for it.”

“Well let me ask the captain about that, oh yeah it’s me. Yes we’ll go!”

“Rocket how many times do I have to say it I’m the Captain.” Hissed Peter under his breath.

“You know you really shouldn’t talk that way about your Captain, Quill. By the way, you never told us your name girlie.”

“Oh right how silly of my. The name’s (Y/n) Beifong. Daughter of High Lady Suyin Beifong of Zaofu.” She introduced herself.

“Wait, Beifong? You mean the richest family in the galaxy Beifong?” asked Rocket. “Say, do you think once we get you home and return the metal you’re people have been swindled out of, we could probably get a little reward for our part in the trade?” (Y/n) chuckled and said to him.

“Slow down there Captain, let’s just get back to Zaofu and talk to my mother about this. She’s the one in charge of the economy.” And with that the Guardians set course for the planet Zaofu.

It was a beautiful planet of green and earth all over the landscape. Lakes and rivers so crystal clear, they reflected the very sky itself and it’s two suns gave plenty of light but no heat to the land. As the Guardians soared over the land they soon came across an advanced city entirely made of metal.

“Agent to tower; this is Agent Beifong Badge #349876 requesting clearance to land. Tower guard this is Agent Beifong Badge #349876 requesting clearance to land.” (Y/n) said after punching in a few codes on the holographic pad in front of her.

‘Tower to Agent Beifong, your request is granted. Welcome home Princess.’ A male voice soon came up over the intercoms.

“Just take us West of the palace and land 50 degrees West heading 0-3-0.” She advised Rocket and Peter who nodded and together they followed her instructions and safely landed their ship on top of a large landing platform that stood just feet from a large skyscraper tower of the palace. (Y/n) grabbed the metal from her ship (that had been piggy-backed in the Guardian’s ship’s lower decks). Their ship opened up and they walked down the stairway and there stood to their right about ten guards all wearing the same metal tight uniform (Y/n) had on.

And just ahead of them stood two women. One wore the exact same armor but over her left breast plate was a silver badge in the shape of a star while the other woman beside her wore dark green tunic that rested over her green pants and sleeveless shirt. The tunic cover had a metal collar going around it with each plate slowly increasing in size before decreasing again as it came back around.

Much like (Y/n) a circlet rested over her head and she also wore gauntlets with metal plates in the shape of pentagons overlapping each other. Both women looked fairly similar to each other in that both had greying hair but were fair looking, although the woman in the armor had a more gruff appearance to her while the other woman had a more gentle facial expression.

The guards all slammed their fists together, the metal from their armors sounding out a loud clank as they greeted the Princess on her safe return. As (Y/n) and the Guardians stood before the two women, (Y/n) greeted them with a head bow.

“Chief, Mother. I have successfully secured the real metal we were promised and gave our message loud and clear to the War god Huitzilopochtli.”

“I never doubted you wouldn’t. You’re one of the best soldiers on the squad, and I’m not just saying that.” the woman in the black armor said.

“I’m just glad you’ve come home safely. And with some new friends I see.” The woman in the green tunic said.

“Yes, Mother, Chief Beifong, I’d like to introduce the Guardians of the Galaxy. They were prisoners of Huitzilopochtli when I went to secure the metal. About to be sacrificed to his prized jaguars. Guardians this is my mother and ruler of Zaofu Suyin Beifong, and my aunt and Chief of police, Lin Beifong.”

“That man knows nothing about diplomacy. Always kills first and asks questions later.” Suyin rolled her eyes.

“He is the God of War for a reason Suy.” Lin told her sister and she came up to (Y/n) and took the chess from her hands. “I’ll take this down to our research facility.”

“Yes Chief.” (Y/n) bowed to her and both her aunt and the police force walked off towards the lab.

“Now I had asked this to your daughter earlier that since we helped your daughter recover some prized and rare metal that was promised to you, don’t you think we should be given a little compensation for helping her return what was rightfully meant to be yours?” asked Rocket as he rubbed his thumb, index and tall fingers together.

“Rocket!” exclaimed Mantis.

“How about this, we’ll talk about payment if you all stay for dinner and take some rest here tonight.” Suyin offered.

“As much as we appreciate that Lady Beifong…..” Peter started off only to be politely interrupted by Suyin.

“Please call me Suyin. Lady Beifong was my grandmother.”

“Suyin. We’re kinda in a tight schedule. Apparently someone’s killing gods and we promised not-very good looking Thor that we’d try and figure out who’s behind the killings.”

“Actually I might have some information in regards to that. But in order to go up against him, you’re gonna need some of our weapons and armor. Come, join me and my family for dinner and we’ll discuss everything.” With that suggestion and offer, the Guardians accepted Suyin’s offer and joined the Beifong family for dinner.

After coming to a negotiation, Suyin had her engineers and scientists build and forge the Guardians new weapons and tech to take down any gods like Huitzilopochtli’s forces and powers. While observing the engineers add some new parts to their ship, Peter soon heard the sound of rocks being thrown around and crashing into a wall.

He went to investigate when he saw (Y/n) bending not only the rocks but metal as well. Shooting out a metal wire to cut apart some trees and pull their branches off, or successfully transform the large boulders into various shapes before firing them at various targets.

“I thought I was going crazy at first seeing you do all that back at Jaguar-man’s palace.” She jumped and fired one of her metal wires which wrapped around Peter in a tight cocoon sending him on his back.

“Oh Star-lord, forgive me I tend to strike whenever someone surprises me like that.” She released her wires and they zipped back into her gauntlets while Peter assured her.

“No worries, I’ve had worse done to me before.” She helped him up and he asked her. “So I’m guessing this is a normal after dinner activity for you?”

“I like to come out here to get away from it all. Don’t get me wrong I love my family to death but—sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here.”

“What do you mean?”

“Promise you won’t go blabbing to my mom about this?”

“Cross my heart.” Peter said as he crossed his heart for emphasis. (Y/n) extended her hand and two small rocks slowly rose up from the ground over her palm and as she slowly wriggled her fingers, the rocks spun in a gentle circle around each other in a dance over her palm.

“Believe it or not, this ability I’m doing right now. I’m the only person in my family that can do this.”

“But don’t the Beifong family have the ability to control metal?”

“It’s true to a degree. The suit of armor that both me and my aunt Lin wear, it helps them control metal but without it, they’re powerless. Ever since I was a young girl and discovered I could bend earth to my will, my mother said it was because of my father’s gift. But the thing is, my father doesn’t have this ability, nor does anyone in his bloodline. I’ve tried to ask my mother for the truth but she always tells me that it’d be too much for me to bear.”

“So you think that your mom—”

“Cheated on her real husband? I doubt it, cause whenever I did ask about him in the past, there’s always this—pure hatred in her eyes. But she always told me that who he was didn’t matter. Baatar is my real father and my real brothers and sister are here. Aunt Lin is my real aunt and I am a Beifong through and through. But deep down I get this feeling that maybe I should make that decision for myself. On whether or not I should have the chance to meet him or not.”

“I get it. Sorta. I mean I thought that when I met my dad, he’d be everything I thought I’d ever longed for. Only to turn out that he killed my mother and tried to use me to conquer the entire galaxy. He may have been my father, but he wasn’t my daddy. I learned that from my real father after he had sacrificed himself to save me.”

“That’s heavy.” Whistled (Y/n).

“Yeah, it was. But Yondu was a good dad to me.” He said as he took out his Zune player. “So your uhh—earth bending powers, how did you discover them?” Peter then tried to change the subject before he started to cry over his memories of Yondu. (Y/n) smiled knowing this type of maneuver (her brothers did this all the time whenever they’d try to be strong and hardcore).

“Like I said, I was a young when it happened. I was just playing with my sister Opal out by the lake skipping rocks when suddenly as I reached out for one, my hands glew this bright blue light and the rock just shot up into my palm. We were both so scared that we ran to my mother crying in fear. I honestly don’t remember much after that but my mother had my aunt teach me how to control it. Got me my first metal-bending suit and I’ve been training with her ever since.”

Hearing her mention the blue light it perked Peter’s curiosity and he asked her.

“This blue light, can you describe it in anyway? Like what it made you feel when it came to you?”

“I—I don’t know how to explain it but….I do remember it being almost like my palms were on fire, yet they didn’t burn me. It felt like—like when you touch warm sand on a beach. Yet there was this feeling of—power to it. Like I could do anything with it.” Peter’s eyes widened.

He did remember that feeling when Ego told him about his Celestial heritage and taught him how to summon the light to his hands. No but it—it couldn’t be? Could it? Could she really be his…….

“(Y/N)! Aunt Lin says she needs to speak to you about your armor! Says she’s got an upgrade for you!” one of her brothers called out to her. She turned and exclaimed back.

“I’ll be there in a sec Wei!” she turned to Peter and said, “Better not keep Aunt Lin waiting. She hates it when people keep her waiting.”

“Yeah, yeah I better go and talk to the team about our next game plan. Also tell your aunt thanks for letting us use some of her police weapons.”

“She may not be happy about lending our weapons to non-Zaofuians but she’ll get over it, especially since it’s going to the Guardians of the Galaxy. But I’ll give her your regards anyways.” They went their separate ways and once Peter saw that no one was around, he took off sprinting towards Mantis’ room and rapidly knocked on her door.

“Could you be any louder at knocking Peter? I don’t think the others from Knowhere heard you.” Mantis whined with a groan.

“We need to talk.” Peter said urgently. Sensing the urgency in his tone and knowing that this was a serious matter, Mantis allowed her brother inside and she shut the door behind her as well as locked it. “You will not believe the conversation that I just had with (Y/n).”

“Are we being taken prisoners again?” asked Mantis worriedly.

“What no! No! Look, I know this may seem out of nowhere, but I want you to tell me first about when Ego found you and tried to make you feel a connection to the Celestial light.”

“Why would you want to know about that?”

“Just trust me Mantis. Please.” She looked into her brother’s eyes and saw the desperation but also some inkling of knowledge that he was going to fill her in on the details later.

“I had lied when I had told Drax and Gamora that Ego found me in my larva stage. He had actually came for me shortly after my mother had passed. Much like when Yondu came for you, he brought me to his planet and trained me just like he did you. But when I tried to make a connection to the light, all that awakened within me was my empathic abilities. Ego then told me that even though I’d never be able to help him with the Expansion, he still could find a purpose for me. And I had been forced to convince various of our other siblings to go along with us, before he said that I would only be used to help him sleep.”

“Wow, he really was a jackass.”

“Now will you tell me why you asked me about that?”

“(Y/n)’s ability to move earth, you know how she could bend those rocks back at Jaguar dude’s temple, turns out she has a connection to the Celestial light.”

“Are you saying that……(Y/n) is our—”

“Sister? I think she might be.”

“But how? When Ego died, you lost your connection to the Celestial light.”

“I don’t know. But the way she described the Light within her hands was exactly the same way it felt with me when I made my connection to it.”

“Did you tell her the truth?”

“Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaa—no.” stretched Peter.

“Peter we must tell her the truth. She deserves to know!” Peter stepped in front of her and said.

“I know she deserves to know but at the same time we can’t cause any family drama amongst the Beifongs. (Y/n) told me how everytime she brought up about her real dad, Suyin got this burning anger in her eyes and told her that they were her family, not him. And after seeing the way (Y/n) fights against Aztec Gods I’d hate to fight against her own mother and aunt.”

“So what are we going to do?” she asked him.

“I’ll think of something. Until I do, this stays between us okay? I mean it don’t tell anyone about this conversation to anyone else, especially Drax. You know he can’t keep a secret to save his own skin.”

“I promise.” She held out her pinkie and Peter wrapped his pinkie around hers. “Sister’s promise.”

“Brother’s oath.” Peter replied back as they shook pinkies.

After about 3 days, the Guardians were finally ready to take off to find more Gods to save and check up on.

“We can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us Suyin.” Peter thanked her.

“It was our pleasure to help in aiding the Guardians of the Galaxy. And if you’re ever passing by this way again, our doors will always be open to you.” Said Suyin with a respectable bow. The Guardians bowed back to her before heading back to their ship, but it was then Peter stopped midway up the ramp when he said.

“Actually, there is something else we’d like to ask for.” The rest of the Guardians paused and turned to Peter.

“And just what would that be?” asked Chief Lin suspiciously.

“We’d like to extend an invitation to (Y/n) in joining us.” Everyone but Mantis became wide-eyed. “After our experience with the Aztec god of war, we realized that we are heavily out-manned and she managed to take down all his forces single-handedly while also saving our asses. And if ever we need a tune-up she would know more about how to fix your special enhanced metal material.”

“Quill, I only had to be with Zaofu’s engineers for only 2 minutes and I can get the hang of it.” Proclaimed Rocket.

“Still it couldn’t hurt to have an expert who actually came from the place of its origins be with us should we ever need it. Two heads are better than one right?” Suyin was stunned as she turned to her youngest child and asked her.

“This is up to you (Y/n). Do you wish to go with the Guardians?” (Y/n) looked between both her family and the Guardians with a heavy heart. She then walked up to her mother and spoke from the heart.

“My heart will always belong to Zaofu. But from the days that I would be with Aunt Lin on missions, I have seen great suffering. Some of which has been at the hands of our own metal smuggled by black marketers. I feel like Zaofu can do more for the galaxy than we already have.” Suyin sighed as she closed her eyes.

“You are my youngest child (Y/n). And I had hoped to have you remain at my side for a few more years. But now I see that you are no longer a child anymore. And at some point, I must learn to let go. If you should ever wish to return home, we’ll be here waiting for you.” (Y/n) smiled and embraced her mother.

“I love you mom.”

“I love you too.” After embracing her mother, she stood before her aunt and prepared to surrender her badge but Lin held out her hand to stop her.

“Keep it. I didn’t make you an officer of Zaofu for nothing.” She bowed before her aunt before hugging her. Lin smiled softly down at her and embraced her back. (Y/n) then bid goodbye to all her brothers and sister as well as her dad before turning to the Guardians and joining alongside them.

As they entered and the ramp slid back up, (Y/n) took one last look at her family as they bid her goodbye and she wiped her hidden tears away and waved to them in return before the Guardian’s ship left Zaofu.

Now heading to their next destination to answer the next signal from some Light elves on Álfheimr (Y/n) soon spotted Peter on the upper main decks looking out into the endless starry sky.

“So what was the real reason?” she asked him.

“Huh?” Peter turned to her.

“The real reason you offered me a spot on the Guardians.”

“What are you talking about kid? What I said was 100% true. Rocket may think he’s smart but no one can really understand Zaofu metal than someone who was raised there. And…..”

“Peter, I know you’re lying.”

“What so you can detect when people are lying?”

“In a sense. My grandmother was born blind, so one day she ran off and found herself lost in a cave until she came across some badger-moles. They were blind just like her, but they used the earth as an extension of their senses. She learned out to see the world through the earth around her. Feeling seismic energy of people’s footsteps and even hearing their heartbeats through the earth. And when my mom and aunt were born, she taught it to them, and then Aunt Lin taught it to me. And last night, your heartrate was beating rapidly when I told you about my powers. So come on, out with it.” Peter sighed and confessed.

“Okay, so obviously you know how I found out my dad was a real douchebag and tried to destroy the galaxy. But before that, he taught me that being a Celestial he had a connection to the Light, and he taught it to me as well as Mantis. Even though Mantis didn’t have a connection to it, she still proved a purpose by awakening her empathic powers. As for me, I did have a connection to the Light. And it was that same connection that you said you felt when you first discovered your powers.”

“So you can earth-bend too?”

“No. I mean I did when I fought Ego, but after we had killed him to stop the Expansion, I lost my connection to the Light. Yet somehow, you still have it.” (Y/n) stared at him and slowly her harsh expression turned to shock as she cautiously said.

“Wait…….so, you’re suggesting that I—”

“Ego told me he spent eons trying to find a second Celestial to bring forth the expansion but each of his children failed him. So he had them killed. Millions of children slaughtered all because they couldn’t live up to his expectations, except me. And in a way, you. But your mom and the rest of Zaofu refused to surrender you to him. That’s probably why she never talked about your real father.”

(Y/n) was stunned silent as she fell to her knees. She looked down at her shaky hands and Peter slowly knelt down in front of her.

“But he’s gone. He’s gone for good. We blew up his core and there’s absolutely no chance of him ever coming back. And if by some insane, unexplainable reason that he ever does come back, he won’t get to you. Because you’ve not only got your family on Zaofu on yourself, but you’ve also got us, Especially Mantis and I.” (Y/n) looked up at him and asked.

“You and Mantis are……”

“As surprising as it seems, yeah. She’s my sister. Half-sister but my sister nonetheless. And so are you.” He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and gently shook it which got her to smile.

“At least now I can say I’ve got another sister to add to the ranks.”

“Oh come on, having another big brother can’t be that bad. Especially if that brother is me. C’mon at least admit that I’m the coolest out of all your brothers.” She stood back up laughing as she walked away. “(Y/n)? C’mon (Y/n) admit it! I know you want to say it but you’re just too stubborn to admit it. Not every girl can say their big brother is a member of the Guardians, right? Right? (Y/n)! (Y/N)!!!!”

Word count: 2,706

If you're reading this then... the description is clickbait cuz it doesn't happen till way later in this short ahh story I'm writing.

Follows the MCU timeline so keep up!

Enjoy and pls don't come for me, I'm just having fun and simping for this golden mf :)

You helped Quill rewire the controls to the spaceport, your earlier entrance doing more than enough damage in the moment, but as you burned your finger against one wire you began to think that maybe it was too much damage.

The sound of many small footsteps had you turning your head, the sight of the children had your heart aching in your chest. You knew they weren't as experimented on as much as Rocket had been but the thought still made a lump build in your throat. The rumble beneath your feet turned your attention toward the familiar sight of Nowhere, the port side readily waiting with Cosmo on the other side.

The sight of home, made your nerves calm down for just a second. You ran toward the entrance while Cosmo took a ready stance to close the gap between the High Evolutionary ship and the celestial god's eye.

Once the bridge was secure you jumped to the other side, helping children down off the ship and onto Nowhere. You held onto the hand of one of the little girls, a small smile up at you had your head turning toward her returning the smile but you caught the sight of gold in your peripheral that had stolen your full attention.

Groot knelt beside the Sovereign man you loathed. Your body moved before you could fully register what you were going to do. The blade on your belt within your hand in seconds. Groot turned to look at you, his gentle smile dropping at the sight of the knife in your hands. You were stopped in your advance for the man laying behind Groot, his hand flew up to rest against your chest stopping you in your tracks.

You looked into Groot's eyes. Your other hand coming up to shove his off your chest, but his branches wrapped around you, securing you in place while you struggled against him. You huffed after a moment glaring into Groot's eyes, scanning for an explanation, irritation already eating away at your very soul.

"I am Groot." His words were slow, trying to calm your down.

"No, I won't. You don't know what you're talking about, not after he-" before you could even finish your sentence the Sovreign stirred awake.

He blinked up at you and Groot, slowly sitting up off the ground; his attention turning fully to Groot as his brows creased up in confusion at him. Then he spoke so softly, nearly finishing your sentence for you. "Why are you doing this? I tried to kill you."

"See he even knows what he did, just let me-" you struggled against Groot's hold once again only for the branches to wrap tighter around you while he held you in place.

"I am Groot." You could feel your jaw tighten at his words; the absolute betrayal you felt stung.

You turned your head to glare at the golden man, your chest heaving while your gripped tightened on the blade in your palm.

There was a look of confusion on the man's face at Groot's words, then he glanced at you like some lost puppy, like you were going to translate for him. Then Drax spoke up, a look similar to your own as he translated. "He says, everyone deserves a second chance."

The Sovereign looked back to you and Groot, a little less confused than before. You backed away from Groot's hold, he took the hint and slowly unwrapped you from his branches. You roughly sheathed your knife back into its cover dismissing the golden eyes that followed you.

You knew if you continued to be this close to the bastard that nearly killed Rocket you'd be caged by Groot, and knowing there were more pressing matters at hand you followed alongside Drax as an example and continued helping the children.

When the last of the kids were coming to a stop, you caught sight of Nebula carrying and guiding a few. You glanced behind her wondering where Rocket was. Quill beat you in questioning her about it, "Where's Rocket?"

You could tell there was a flash of confusion, then worry on Nebula's features. "He's not here?"

Her question was already answered by the look you each gave each other.

You and the Guardians were on the hunt for Rocket after finding out he hadn't come back, you all decided finding him would be easier if you split up. You called his name loudly, but just like all the other time you were met with silence.

You could feel the tension in the air at the sound of screaming from down the hall, you were quick on your feet in rushing to find the source and pulling out your knife. You peeked around the corner cautiously, only to be met with each of the guardian's taking turns in beating the High evolutionary.

Gamora had kicked him with the right amount of force in your direction, and he fell right into your blade. He choked at the sensation of the cool metal buried deep in his ribs. You twisted the knife slightly, seeing the surprise in his expression as you pushed it down harder and twisted further. You could feel his breath fan against your face as he gasped, his hand draping over your hand that held the knife. You looked into his eyes for a moment, examining the man who wanted a perfect society. You scoffed; it was always the ones who lacked perfection that wanted such a thing.

Quick footsteps approached at your side, the glimpse of emerald, green obscured your vision. Gamora had grabbed him by the throat pulling him off of your knife, she hummed softly as her hand came up to the side of his face where loose skin hung.

The thought that this much damaged was caused by Rocket had your stomach turning in disgusted at the torn-up face of the High Evolutionary. The groups voices were drowned out as Rocket gently tapped the side of your thigh in comfort. He already knew what you were thinking and the mention of vengeance, not wanting you to fall victim to it more than you already were.

With every breath you heaved in there was a burning in the back of your throat, you sighed heavily as you ran toward the spaceport. You readjusted the small raccoons within your hold. The confused look on the faces of your peers nearly made you trip face first if you hadn't caught yourself at the last second. You were going to warn them, but the sound of heavy footsteps shook the floor beneath you. You didn't waste any time in moving to the side, hoping you'd be out of the way for the bigger mammals running in after you.

You could hear Cosmo over your comm, her strained words as the High Evolutionary's ship began to crumble just like her will. She was struggling to keep the bridge between them closed.

You watched as Abilisks followed behind the mammals; you could see the goofy grin on Mantis' face as she guided them into the port. Just as the end of the line of animals began to disappear, there was another big explosion that sent you falling back into the wall, the raccoons within your hold jumped and ran alongside the other animals into Nowhere.

You ran forward and grabbed hold of Nebula's hand as she jumped across, she nearly fell backwards but just when you pulled her in Cosmo's body finally gave out as she fell onto her side. You could feel your heart stop at the sight in front of you, Quill was sprinting toward the port. You could feel your heart jump as he was only a foot away from the edge, he was so close.

You felt your heart leap in your throat at the sight of the crumbling floor beneath him, as he fell through the floor, landing harshly on his stomach.

You could see the struggle in his movements as he tried to get up, the longer he took the further he got.

"Quill hurry!" You could hear Drax yell from beside you.

He can make it.

Those four words kept repeating as you watched Quill sprint toward the end of the port. Relief was already flooding over your body when he was able to fling himself forward through the small between the ships, but just as quickly it vanished.

He was only a short distance away when the debris from the ship had blocked his straight shot toward Nowhere, holding him in the void of space. You could see his brows knit together as he floated slowly back his hands trying so desperately to reach out to you. His worried expression began to freeze in place, the void of space taking hold of his body.

It was horrifying to see such a sight, none of the description of dying in space could compare to the horrors of the real thing. You could only watch as his face began to puff, the water within his body boiling and freezing over.

You could hear the cries from Mantis and Groot.

Groot tried to stretch out his branches to pull him back, and just as they stretched a few feet they began to freeze and break off.

You couldn't see through the tears that began to cloud your vision, he wasn't going to make it. Without thinking you took quick steps forward, your hands reaching out toward Quill, you knew you wouldn't get far but you had to try no matter the cost.

There was a hand on your shoulder that pulled you back into someone's chest, you wanted so desperately to punch whoever just pulled you back. But your glare came in contact with Drax, who had his arm securely around your waist holding you back so you wouldn't get yourself hurt too. Not even your body could last in space, no one's could.

You looked back at Drax, already feeling anger rise in your chest as you sobbed. You tried breaking free, but you could tell from the look on his face that he wouldn't be letting you go. You wanted to scream at him, to yell at him but there was a quick thud from beside you that caught both of your attention.

The Sovereign had Quill within his hold, as they lay on the ground. You and Drax wasted no time in running to Quill. Nebula had turned him onto his back while Mantis knelt beside him, her hand holding his shoulder. You waited, hoping he wasn't out there for too long. You could see his chest beginning to rise and fall, his eyes trained on Nebula as he strained to speak.

"Did that look cool?" You couldn't help the small smile, of course he would try to make light of a serious situation.

The tears and sobs that left you had your body crumbling, your hand finding its way against his chest. Nebula and Mantis helped to lift him up and you were one of the first few that wrapped your arms around him, feeling the below freezing temperature of his body. You could feel your tears staining his suit as well as hearing the silent cries from Mantis.

You could feel Cosmo bump against your head as she began to lick Peter's face, giving him kisses. Quill's whole body moved as he chuckled, not being able to fight off Cosmo and her kisses with everyone wrapped around him.

"Cosmo! I'm okay."

You sighed into Peter's chest, feeling the warmth slowly starting to return to his body. The faint feeling of drowsiness ate away at your subconscious, knowing that when you got back to your apartment you'll be sleeping like a log.

These last few days were definitely the most heart wrenching experience you've had in a long while.

You awoke from your nap to knocking on your door. You sluggishly sat up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes as you lazily swung open the door. You were met with Mantis and Peter; you could tell from their expressions something was wrong. You assumed the worst, only for Mantis to embrace you in a tight hug.

"We're leaving," Mantis' voice was just above a whisper, her expression hidden from view.

"L-Leaving?" You stuttered over your words, not expecting the sudden statement being thrown in your face.

"I'm going back to Earth," Quill gently wrapped his arms around you and Mantis, laying his chin on your shoulder.

You could feel from how Mantis' gripped tightened that she could feel your sadness and worry.

"It's no one's fault. We just need time to grow, find ourselves." Her words eased your worry a bit but then another worry took its place.

"Will you be back?" You closed your eyes hoping they didn't hear how shaky your voice was, but you already knew Mantis felt just how heartbroken you were.

"I-I don't know." Quill responded so quietly like he didn't want to give you false hope.

There was another squeeze from Mantis that had you realizing that you were about to argue, not out of anger but out of heartache.

You shakily sighed as you leaned further into their hold, letting the tears slip freely down your cheek's. "Just let me know how you're doing once in a while, or I'll find you and drag you back here. I swear."

They both chuckled, slowly easing their hold on you as they spoke in unison. "We'll miss you too."

You helped Nebula hand out food to the kids, one of them was hooked to your side keeping a tight grip on the hem of your suit as you walked around. The faint sound of music began to play through the speakers, your eyes finding their way to Rocket who was basking in the lyrics and instruments. You already knew what was going to happen and you couldn't help the smile that formed on your face at the scene unfolding before you.

Everyone began to dance in the square, it felt like when you first celebrated on Nowhere.

It made you feel light at the sight of everyone being able to let loose after such a horrible scare within the last three days. You even found yourself swaying to the music, holding the small girls' hands as you guided her alongside Nebula to dance.

The howling laughter from Rocket had your head turning to him and Groot swaying their hips, kicking their feet and swinging their arms to the music. You could see Cosmo not too far off dancing with one of the toys she had, next to her the small F'saki jumping up and down.

You looked around to find Drax, only for your gaze to land on the golden man sitting wrapped in a blanket. You could see his gaze on his pet, and as much as you wanted to feel annoyed or disgusted, you felt sadness. You quickly refrained from acknowledging that feeling and went back to enjoying yourself, not sparing another glance at the Sovereign.

You could feel your head spin as you were twirled by Kraglin, his howling laughter ringing in your ears as you stumbled to regain your footing. He went right back to holding your hands to steady you, you laughed along with him going back to dancing.

There was a short break in the song that allowed you to rest for a moment, your chest rising and falling as your heart thumped against your ears.

You finally caught sight of Drax in the crowd of people, seeing the knowing expression on his face made you break out into an even wider smile. The beat started to pick up again and Drax finally let his body flail around to dance, letting out a holler of excitement. Cosmo's howl made your ears ring as everyone whooped and hollered out, the excitement and joy rippling through the entirety of Nowhere.

You knew there was no place in the galaxy you wanted to be more than here.

Guardians of the Galaxy Dating Sim

So, mostly for shits and giggles, I am planning on making a GotG dating sim! The game would start with the player somehow ending up on the Guardians' ship. The guardians agree to get them back home, and the player has three weeks to romance their favorite space loser. The romancable characters would be Peter, Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Rocket, and Mantis. That is basically all I have so far. If any of y'all would be interested in playing the finished game, have questions or ideas, or would even like to help me make it, then send me a message! In terms of help, I’m looking for anyone with game-making related skills, from background art to character sprites to python coding to writing and editing. Anything helps! Also, please don’t tell James Gunn.

#gotg #guardians of the galaxy #rocket gotg #gamora gotg #drax gotg #star lord gotg #groot gotg #nebula gotg #mantis gotg #dating sim #visual novel #vn development #gotg x reader #rocket racoon x reader #gamora x reader #star lord x reader #drax x reader #nebula x reader #mantis x reader

Meet The Guardians Of The Galaxy

Masterlist

It’s been a couple of days since the Guardians of the Galaxy landed on the Avengers compound’s lawn, Thor was still nowhere to be seen but you all seemed to be getting along just fine, going as far as having girls and boys night last night.

The guys showed Drax, Quill and Rocket how they like to spend a night of testosterone fueled competition while playing video games in the common room, eating junk food and drinking.

While you and the girls showed Gamora, Nebula and Mantis how you like to relax having a night of spa treatments, drinking wine and eating anything you wanted, gossiping and essentially making fun of the boys’ attitudes the guys had.

Groot started the night with the guys but apparently they started getting too rough and loud for his liking so he came to your room where all the girls were and enjoyed the rest of the night watching sappy movies and getting beauty treatments with you.

You couldn’t resist taking a picture when he wrapped himself with a napkin, rubbing some of the mud mask all over his face sloppily to look like you guys all wearing robes, making you all laugh and coo at how adorable he looked.

Everybody had a late night, barely getting any sleep, but having a lot of fun.

Now you’re all in the common room nursing various degrees of hangovers that even Bucky and Steve couldn’t escape after Tony pulled out Thor’s stash of Asgardian mead.

"All I’m saying is, aliens don’t seem to have too much regard for lawn maintenance." Tony says, making you all groan.

You were all tired of hearing him bitch about the lawn and you were definitely much too sleep deprived for it at the moment.

"Tony, I love you, but I really need you to shut the fuck up." Steve mumbles, not being used to hangovers, making us all gasp in surprise.

"Language, Rogers!" you say and he groans, throwing his head back while the rest of you laugh.

"Are you ever gonna drop that, Mrs Barnes?" you roll your eyes athim.

You and Bucky are nowhere near marriage but the blonde super soldier always has the time of his life teasing you about it.

"Aww, are you mad that I stole your boyfriend?" you fake pout at him.

"You know, Bucky and I were very happy before you came along." He fake glares at you, the rest of the team enjoying the banter they were used to at this point.

"I missed the part where that’s my problem, Captain Dumbass." You say smirking, but before Steve cam answer Quill cut in.

"Wow, she’s kind of awful when she’s hungover." you glare at him while everyone else laughs.

"She’s kind of awful when she’s not hungover, she’s just pretending for your benefit." Steve comments.

"You know what, Rogers?" Clint interrupts you before you can threaten Steve.

"Oh c’mon you know he’s right. Bucky for sure rubbed some of his grumpiness on you." you know they’re right so what’s the point in trying to deny.

You shrug ready to change the subject when Natasha chooses to contribute to the conversation.

"He definitely rubbed something on her." you almost choke on air.

"Natasha!" you hiss, struggling to keep your own face straight while all the girls start giggling.

"What? I didn’t say anything…" she says innocently and you can’t keep the laughter in anymore so you join them.

The guys all look at you like you’re crazy except for Tony, the genius playboy is definitely not as innocent as the rest of them.

"I don’t understand what’s going on." Peter says and the other guys nod in agreement.

You don’t exactly know how to explain it, not really wanting to discuss anything close to your sex life with Bucky with the whole group, so you look to the girls for help.

"It appears that terran women have rituals of honesty during their 'girls night's" Gamora offers, but it only leaves the guys even more confused, so Wanda takes it upon herself to say a simpler explanation "Girls talk about everything. Everything."

Slowly all the guys come to understand what she means, various degrees of embarrassment on their faces, while you and the girls laugh at their reactions.

"Wait, everything everything?" Tony questions, looking directly at Pepper.

"Every. Single. Thing." she says, maintaining eye contact, and the rest of you can't stop snickering at the guys’ dumbfounded faces.

While the guys continue their questioning to the other girls, Bucky leans in to whisper in your ear.

"So you’ve been telling the girls about our sex life, doll? I might have to punish you for that..." he can tell you’re trying hard to keep a straight face as you refuse to turn around to face him so he keeps teasing you.

"and you’ll take it like a good girl, won’t you?" your eyes widen a bit before your expression goes back to neutral, but you're betrayed by the intense red your cheeks are turning, which does not go unnoticed.

"What’s wrong with you, why is your face all red?" Rocket almost yells, bringing the whole room’s attention on you, making you blush even more and giggle when Groot climbs on your shoulder to examine your cheek more closely.

"It’s nothing." you try to sound casual.

"And what’s wrong with you?" Rocket says and you hear Steve groaning before he answers.

He carefully chooses his words and addresses you and Bucky directly "Just so you know, I can hear Bucky whispering…"

your eyes snap up to him and you can see his face is turning red too, ever the innocent one and never ready to hear his best friend's dirty talk.

You look at Bucky who looks more amused at the situation than embarrassed and you let out a groan of your own before gettin up, Groot still on your shoulder.

"Where are you going, baby?" Bucky asks, stopping the others’ questioning of Steve about what he heard, all of them confused and amused, their attention back on you.

"I need more coffee. And a bath in holy water." you add looking at the girls, all of them knowing how dirty Bucky’s mouth can get, then you make your way to the kitchen.

"I’ll go make sure she’s alright." Bucky gets up and follows you, leaving the guys to try and make the girls let them in on the joke.

You put Groot down on the counter while starting the coffee machine and, while you wait, he makes you laugh by running around trying to catch a fly while making the most adorable little screams of battle.

You feel two arms wrap around your waist and Bucky’s head on your shoulder.

"You know Steve’s gonna think we’re fucking in the kitchen, right?" you say without looking away from Groot, making Bucky laugh.

"I just wanted to check on you." he says, giving you a kiss on the cheek. You turn around in his arms and wrap your arms around his neck.

"I’m okay." you kiss him on the lips "Steve may be traumatized now, though." this time you laugh with him.

"Do you really tell the girls everything?" he asks when your laughter dies down.

"I do, they’re my best friends. Also the world should know you fuck me hard and good." he smirks and is about to kiss you again when you hear someone clear their throat from the door.

You both turn towards the sound and see Steve standing there, face getting redder than Tony’s suit.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." you groan once more, hiding your face in Bucky’s chest while he smirks at Steve.

"I just wanted some water, but I’ll come back later..." Steve says and starts to turn away, but turns back around and says "Bravo, Buc-"

"No! out!" you cut in before he can finish while pointing at him then the door and he goes through it laughing.

You look back up at Bucky and the cheeky idiot is laughing too, you try to glare at him but can’t keep a straight face, especially when a little yell suddenly reminds you that Groot is there with you.

You turn around just in time to see him jump down the counter, his little hands over what you assume are his ears, running back into the living room while screaming his little heart out.

Yep, looks like Steve is not the only innocent baby you and Bucky traumatized today.
