Peter didn't know who this guy was, but he knew that he and Nova Corps didn't really have a good relationship. Sure, the Guardians saved Xandar, and sure, they rebuilt his ship and wiped their records, but a few of them couldn't shake off that they were still criminals... Which, he guessed was sorta true, but they didn't do anything THAT horrible anymore! Nikki rushed out of his arms, leaving him there alone. He muttered something about ruining a good song. He walked in to the dining area soon after, listening to this Rich Rider and Nikki go off at each other. His arms were crossed. He had no intention of going to a meeting full of politicians who would love to just judge them all and try to get them arrested... But he wasn't expecting Nikki to actually say yes, and he definitely wasn't expecting her to ask if they would escort her.

Peter stepped up, clearing his throat. "It would be an honor, for the Guardians of the Galaxy to escort you." Peter said in a proud sort of tone, which made the new Nova Prime give a small laugh. "What's so funny?"

"No, I-uh, I didn't mean any disrespect but... Seriously? You feel safe with these guys?"

Both Peter and Rocket looked at each other with offense. "Why wouldn't she?" Rocket asked.

"Well, I mean I heard about what you guys did saving Xandar and stuff but... Ever since I've been on the force--"

"How long has that been?"

"When did the last Nova Prime die?"

"The Battle of Xandar"

"Then a week or two after that. We have been cleaning up your messes after your 'good deeds' of saving people but killing bad guys and destroying places." 

"Listen buddy, we have saved a shit ton of people, and yeah, we may have blown up a few buildings and left a lot of casualties and left some villages starving... Okay, I'll shut up now." Rocket said after seeing the glare Peter was giving him.

"Yeah my point exactly... Look, I don't want to bring any disrespect to the Princess here, but if she is determined to stay on board the Milano, then it is my duty to make sure she makes it to Xandar in one piece." As he was talking Peter was silently mocking his voice. He already hated this guy more than the last Nova Prime (may he rest in piece). 

Peter was silent for a few seconds, until he finally sighed. he didn't need to be on the bad side of Nova right now after his little incident with the Spartois. "Yeah, fine... Welcome aboard I guess." 

Minutes later the airlock door opened, and when the room was pressurized, [url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/231/0/4/nova_by_uncannyknack-d7vvnk6.jpg]Rich Rider[/url] walked out, looking around at the place. "Cozy. I like it." He said simply, taking off his helmet. He had a clean shaven face, a square jaw, a charming grin, and dark brown hair.
