Peter Quill was a changed man. He no longer searched for money, or women. He didn't run from things that scared him, he didn't block out the thoughts of his dying mother. He was a hero! A true legend! He liked being defender of people who need help much more than a sleezy womanizer who wanted nothing but money. He slammed on the brakes of the speeder, everyone lurching forward but he was prepared for it! He jumped out, taking his pistols out as he squeezed off a few shots at some robots that still followed. Everyone climbed in, even Nikki. He ran to the cock pit, pushing buttons, pulling levers, and soon the doors closed, and the Milano rose, the ship shaking a bit as weapons were being fired at it... But that soon didn't matter, as they were going out of the orbit.

"We didn't get proof that he died, we won't get the money..." Drax said, looking at Quill walking out of the cockpit, and in to the large kitchen. "Oh we got proof. A few witnesses, a couple of robot scrap, and a video recording." Quill said with a nod, walking past Groot Rocket and Drax, looking for Nikki. It didn't take long before Gamora stormed down the hall. "I don't like her." She said simply, continuing down the hall. Peter made his way to the room she positioned herself in. He leaned on the door frame, looking at the woman crying for a few seconds before speaking.

"I thought about it." Peter said in a "matter of fact" tone. "I thought about it for a second. One million dollars for someone who I barely knew who wanted to split my profit in half... It only took one second for me though, to know that that wasn't going to happen." Quill said with a nod. "I was many things... I probably still am some of those things today... But a slave trader was never one of them." He had his arms crossed, looking at the blue haired woman that he hadn't seen in years. She was still beautiful, but she looked exhausted, stressed, angry... While Peter felt like the opposite now adays. 

"I'm sorry if I ever gave the vibe of wanting to trade you for money... I'm sorry for... well, trying to trick you in to joining me on a vacation so that we could part ways right after. And I'm sorry for all the lies I told earlier about the infamous Star-Lord. Although he is handsome and brave... he wasn't all that special until just recently." Peter said softly. he was humiliating himself in front of her, hopefully to prove the point that he's a changed man. "We'll drop you off the next stop we make so you don't have to deal with any of us for too long."
