His arms finally wrapped around her and she let out a small sigh of happiness. He was at least relaxing for the time being. Hopefully nothing goes to set him off like Rocket bursting in and saying some random things or attempting to flirt with her. That wasn’t something that they needed to deal with at the moment, though Peter might really not care all too much but it would make Nikki feel a bit uncomfortable. Smiling softly, it felt good to know there wasn’t complete anger there.

The question he asked was a hard one for her to answer. Simply because she didn’t want to; he was already angry enough. She tightened her grip slightly around his neck as she rubbed his back softly. “I’m alive, that’s all that matters Quill.” She said softly, her lips reached forward and gently kissed his neck much like he had done to her when changing her bandage. One kiss, then another and finally a third, “I’m alright, just a headache.” And  a few cuts, bruises and quite a bit more aches and pains then before. But she was alive. “I’m alive, you’re alive; we’re all alive. That’s all that matters.” She said softly before resting her head back on his shoulder. “If you want, I’ll leave.”
