Peter wasn't that impressed by seeing the high council, especially since he just dealt with a crazy king that was his father, and that these guys were pretty much the boss of Rick. If this guy was bad, he couldn't imagine how lame these guys were! The conversation started quickly when they saw Nikki, and it was as if the rest of the Guardians weren't even there! So Peter quietly crossed his arms, looking around the place, listening to the conversation that was going on. Their plan was to have Nikki on the high council. Peter didn't really like that idea, but he was almost certain that these guys couldn't care less about what he thought on the matter. He was also certain that they didn't even know that he was royalty himself. When told that they could leave, and their services weren't required anymore, he was about to say something before Nikki started to talk. He was glad that her new title didn't go to her head, and although he wasn't expecting a reward, he was glad that they were getting whatever they wanted from this bargain. The council walked inside, leaving the Guardians with Nova Prime. "Well, I gotta go in there too. Being the galaxy's police and all." Rick said. "Wait! What are they going to do to Nikki?" Quill asked, not really knowing if he had an answer. Rick hesitated for a second. "My guess? They are going to highly encourage Nikki to stay here. Her race is all gone, she's the last one left, and with all that's going on with Thanos and political disputes, we're going to need a spark of hope and courage to the people." "So what? You're going to just force her to stay here?" Rocket asked bluntly. "Listen, vermin, there's more to it than that--" "VERMIN?!" "Uh oh." "Now you've done it." "Hold him back!" Groot quickly picked Rocket up with ease as he tried to charge at Rick, which made him smirk. "its better than leaving her here with you guys. You all get offended easily, can't be trusted... your history explains it all." "Did you forget who lead the defensive on Ronin, and kicked his ass?" Peter asked, stepping forward. He's had enough of him holding their past above their heads. "As I've said before, Quill, you were saving your necks more than our's. A lot of people died during the assault." "Everyone would have been killed if we didn't stop him." "Yeah, and right after the battle, you and your Ravager buddies went right back to rule breaking. People are still being destroyed by your group of friends, and you haven't done much to stop it." "Alright, I'm sick and tired of you thinking that we are horrible people! Your just as shitty as us, if not worse!" "Oh is that so?" "yeah, It seems like you want to fight me just as much as I want to fight you." "Well, bring it, Star-Lord!" The two of them tackled each other, throwing jabs and punches, and hits.... and to be honest, it wasn't that cool looking. It was like two brothers trying to get each other to say "uncle" first. Gamora sighed. Groot looked interestingly at the scenario, Drax started to smile, and Rocket was still fired up from being called a vermin. The fighting quickly stopped though when they heard an alarm go off in the distance, and Nova started to push Quill off him. "Get! Off!" Rick screamed, finally getting Peter to fly backwards a foot or two. "You give up?" "What? No!" Rick said, standing up and looking up at the sky. "Word's got out that the last Metra in the galaxy is here, and they brought guns..."
