Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Robert noticed she was distracted. She was obviously still looking for Robin Hood. Robert gave an internal sigh, and knew that this master plan of his wasn't really working for him. Sure, she thought more of him in a way, but she was too concerned about this mystery man. If he learned anything from those romance novels, he knew that the mystery charmer trumped any kind of guy, no matter who he was. He took a large sip of his drink, and looked over at her. "Would you like me to tell you what i know about Robin Hood? I know i've only heard about the guy, but i spent the whole day reading top secret files... Answer truthfully" Robert said with a small smile. He didn't want this night to be about his alter ego, but he would do anything for this woman. He wasn't going to say anything to keep her hopes up, but at least ease her mind on why he wasn't technically here.

J'son led Peter to a large room, a bedroom that looked elegant, yet powerful in some way. It was a steel colored room with a large bed, a weird rug made out of some alien animal. A fireplace roared gently, and there was a large door to a balcony. Peter looked around the room in awe, walking toward the balcony, and at the view of the large city. "We weren't always a peaceful race." J'son said behind his son, walking to stand next to him, leaning on the railing. "We fought a war for a very long time against another race called the Ariguans. While on my way to fight, I crash landed Earth... That's where I met your mother."

That's when Peter finally looked up at him. "She was such a beautiful and caring woman... So remarkable."

"Is that why you abandoned her then? With a son?" Peter asked.

"I had a war to fight, Peter, I was the only heir to the Spartoi throne, and i did not know that you were born--"

"She always talked about how amazing you were. How you would come back to us so we can be a family." Peter said, his voice trembling, a tear in his eye. "She couldn't even stop talking about you when she was on her death bed. So how can you stare at me with a smile, thinking that this would all be settled by some fancy dinner?"

J'son sighed, his face now looking a hundred years older. "It isn't that simple, Peter. After the war, i didn't want anything to happen to your mother, I declared that Earth was off limits to any extraterrestrials... When i heard that she had a son, I tried to retrieve you... But you were already taken away. Our race isn't enemies with Nova, but we aren't in their alliance. We created our own with other worlds. We now have a council, we are getting out of old habits, so one day, the rightful heir, my son, can take the throne when i am gone."

Peter listened to his words, staring at the man. For so long he wanted to meet him. He wished that the man died long ago when he was born, that he was just some weird drug addict, or some space loser... But he was an emperor. Someone who knew that he was alive somewhere but didn't do anything about it until he made a name for himself. A man walked in to the room, whispering something in his ear, and nodded. "Tell me my son, what are your questions?" He asked, as if bracing himself.

He had so many, but he knew the one he had ever since J'son sent the message to him. "Why now? you knew I was alive somewhere..." Peter asked. J'son looked at him. "I tried, Peter... But after so long, you have to... prioritize. We came from a cousin race, the Sparois. We came from the Shi'ar. We were both involved in a war with the Kree. They lost, but not before enslaving the Shi'ar permanently. We didn't take kindly too that, but we respected the Nova alliance, and stayed away... When we heard news that the infamous Ronin the Destroyer was killed by the Guardians of the Galaxy, and they were led by Peter Quill, i knew where to find you... You are powerful, my son. More powerful than you know... You can do so much more with the Spartoi Council than with your friends. They are unstable, dangerous, and don't have a goal set."

Peter stared at him, frowning quizically. "What do you mean?"

"The Guardians of the Galaxy are not a team you should lead, because it will lead to the death of not only you, but the entire galaxy itself. Embrace your heritage, and stay with us, Star-Lord. You can command an army, kill anything that threatens you. Isn't that why you started this group?" J'son asked.

Peter shook his head, and stared at him. "you man see me as a Spartoi, but i'm Terran. My home, is the place you abandoned. And those 'unstable criminals' are my friends. We may not be angels, but we are a great team..."

J'son sighed, and looked at his son with a bit of sorrow. "I had a feeling you would say that... You're so much like your mother. Stubborn, loyal... I'm afraid you don't have a choice, Star-Lord."

Peter didn't react at first, but then his fists clenched. "What did you do?"

"Don't worry. They are all safe. Except for one. I'm sure you don't know of this, my son, but as a Spartoi, we are sworn to never cooperate with Metras... and from what i heard, you did more than cooperate."

Peter Quill pressed the button behind his ear, his helmet forming around his face. He pulled out both of his pistols and pointed one at his father, but as soon as he did that, a whole crowd of soldiers busted through the doors, Peter aimed his other gun at them, as his father screamed for them not to shoot. He prayed his friends, and especially Nikki, were in a much better situation.

Peter's heart melted as she looked up at him with a pout. He knew she was just joking but he couldn't resist a puppy dog face from the most beautiful woman in the world. "Believe me, i would give away everything just to be with you all night and day... and as for 'always being right', I'm very far from that, I'm still clueless on many things." He looked over at the cabinet she pointed at and he let her go. "Not a chance, I'm done being on the sidelines! I'll make the oatmeal." Peter gave a smile and grabbed the ingredients. "Luckily for you, and the safety of your kitchen, oatmeal is one of the only things I can make."

Peter wasn't that great of a cook, and it kinda showed with him making some mediocre oatmeal, but he was glad he could at least do something for Lexi since she's been making so many meals for the both of them. They ate their breakfast, and Peter kept in mind that number one priority and held Lexi as much as possible... But it soon wasn't long until they both went back to their goofy selves, and decided to play a rather intense game of hide and go seek around Lexi's large house, now that they had their powers. Peter hid on walls and sealed doors shut with his webs, and Lexi had a tendency of sneaking out of the room Peter was hiding... It was break they needed after fighting so many people and going through so much drama, even if it was childish.

They finished their homework as well, with it being chemistry it was very easy for Peter to go though it... They spent a bit more time together on the couch before Peter officially had to leave, wanting to fix his suit and buy something warm for under it before the night patrol. Peter made it home, and busted out the sewing machine in his room (yeah, it wasn't the manliest thing ever, but an essential skill to know if you make your own suits). He pulled out the now dryer Spider-Man suit, and spread it out as he walked around looking for other tools needed to fix it. As he did, the black liquid slowly crawled out of the arm sleeve, and slid under Peter's bed. Again Peter didnt realize the black liquid, and went straight to work on the suit. Not too long after it was repaired, and he threw it in the dryer (with other clothes of his from when he spent the night with Lexi).

The next thing he did was buy a wet suit from a sporting goods store. He got a lot of weird looks, since he didn't look like a sporty type, but he managed to get out of there with not that many people giggling at him. He didn't care, he knew he was going to be warm now. He was supposed to meet Lexi on their rooftop to start the night patrol, and when he landed, he looked a bit thicker thanks to the suit under his costume. He either looked like a skinny marshmallow, or a bit more muscular thanks to it. "Hey, bought suit, thanks for the money." He said to her as he lifted the bottom of his mask to give her a kiss before pulling it down, and motioning his hands towards the City of New York. "Shall we?"

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Robert caught the cherry and grinned, looking over at Marian as she counted down, he took his time as he put the whole thing in his mouth, and he simply looked around the room as his tongue went to work, just before she said twenty-nine, he stuck the stem out of his mouth, and gave a smile, spitting it in a napkin. "Not too bad, spent a fair share of my time at parties." Robert said quietly, then pointed at Marian. "Your turn. Truth or dare?" He asked, curious on what she would choose.

If he had never left and become Robin Hood, he probably would have had a drink poured all over him, with her swift exit... Robert wasn't a horrible person, he just had a shitty father, and tried to cope with that in a negative way... But since he spent a couple years learning from himself and not being spoon fed anything, he knew who he really was. He wasn't anything like his parents, or any other corrupt businessman out there. Now he was himself, in a nice bar and restaurant, talking to the woman he has been in love with for a very long time. He wasn't expecting her to fall in love with him instantly, both of them running to his place to spend the night together! But this was a step towards a right direction.

Peter's stomach dropped a bit when Nikki said that she was going to leave on their next stop. It seemed like she finally made her decision. J'son smiled and nodded at Nikki's response as he stabbed his knife into his dinner a little harshly. He then looked over at Peter. "So, my son. Do you enjoy your home?"

Peter looked up to him eyebrows raised. He wanted to say that this wasn't his home. Earth was. But to no be impolite (even though he should have), he gave a smile and nodded, looking back down at his plate. He wanted to yell at this guy and demand answers, but he was sure there was going to be time for that. The rest of the dinner was filled with light talk about some of their adventures. Drax going in to detail of some of the messier parts, and correcting Rocket's sarcasm since he still didn't understand it. Groot also gave his input from time to time with "I am Groot." and Rocket would clarify. J'son seemed interested, and looked over at Peter occasionally with pride.

"Well, this has been a great dinner, but I'm sure you're all very tired from your travels. My assistants will escort you all to your rooms.." With that the doors opened, Spartois came out with smiles, taking each individual group to their rooms. Peter stood up and looked at his dad, but before he could say a word, J'son held up his hand. "I know. I apologize for keeping you waiting even longer, but if you will follow me, I'll answer any question you have truthfully."

That's it? That's all he got? "Hey, Peter, i know i haven't seen you for LITERALLY your whole life, but lets have dinner on a planet you know nothing about while people scream your name!" Peter didn't say a word as they walked down the hall, and he felt very small next to the leader of this whole civilization. They entered a dining hall, The Guardians didn't look like they belonged here. Rocket was looking around at possible things to steal, Groot walked over to a plant in the corner of the room, Drax stared uncomfortably around, yet Gamora was the only one who seemed to not have a huge problem with this thing.

"It is nice to have company after so many years of... Isolation. Especially when our guests are the people who defeated Ronin." J'son said as he looked at all of them, and tilting his head a bit as he saw Groot over near the plant, making it overgrow, vines leaking out of the pot. Groot looked over and smiled, and Rocket soon dragged him back over near the crowd. Honestly, Groot still amazed Peter the more he spent time with him. They all sat down, and before Peter could say anything, his father told him they will eat before the questions start. Peter glared at the man. Was this a game to him?

Peter didn't touch his food, as the others ate the food. Peter stared down at his plate. J'son looked around at the table with a smile. "So I know everyone here except the one with the hat. What is your name, my dear? Did my son recruit you?"

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Nightmares were a common occurrence for Peter. When he was a kid there were a lot of dreams where he was left by his parents, and now even more dreams have turned dark ever since he became Spider-Man. Yesterday was a break from those nightmares when he spent the night with Lexi, and it also worked this time. Either because he was too exhausted, or he had Lexi there to make sure those thoughts didn't cross his mind. He started to wake as soon as Lexi started to move around, and Peter grabbed her waist gently and pulled her back down, eyes still closed. He didn't want her to leave his side... But he soon hesitated when she said she would make some food. "I'm doing this only because i don't us to starve to death..." Peter said softly, eyes still closed, except to watch Lexi climb off of the couch... Hey, if he climbed off the couch first, she would have done the same thing!

After a minute or two of trying to wake up, Peter sat up, rubbing his eyes, and running a hand through his hair. He collected his own shorts, but he was ironically too hot to wear a shirt right now. A few hours ago he was sure he was going to be frozen alive. He walked in to the kitchen, walking up behind Lexi and putting his arms around her torso. "Anything i can help with?" Peter asked as he kissed her neck. "I'm going to have to go back to my place and fix up my suit... and then there's that homework that's do tomorrow that we've been putting off..." Peter kissed her neck again. It was great being a super hero couple, but they also had the responsibilities of being teenagers.

After they turned Zero in, and getting weird looks from the Guardians, Peter kept to himself the whole flight towards Spartax. He had his music in, staring at the Walkman as he sat on the edge of his bed. What the hell were they going in to? They were going to a planet that no one has been in years, to visit a man who claims to be Peter's father, and "welcoming him home." The thoughts of all the worst case scenarios kept flashing through his heads, not even the music could slow them down. It was a long trip, but they finally made it to the planet. As they landed, Peter watched from the cockpit their descent, and then the very large crowd that was forming around the Milano. They weren't requested to explain their business here, they just accepted the ship. He guessed that was because this ship was now famous for hosting the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The team all looked at Quill as they landed, he wore his ravager leather jacket, his dual element pistols, a blue tight fitting shirt, and his satchel full of gadgets. He gave everyone a weak smile and nod as they started to file out, and the crowd was going crazy. He looked over at Nikki who was looking much better than she did the last time he saw her, her blue hair tucked in a hat. She was hiding her identity for obvious reasons, one of them being that she was a wanted woman.

Peter hesitated when he saw he was the last one to walk out. He wasn't so sure about this. He dreamed about meeting his dad, sometimes good things, sometimes bad... But now that he was actually doing it... He was scared.

---

"Why have you been fighting with the other boys again, baby?"

Silence.

"Peter?"

"They killed a little frog that ain't done nothin'. Smushed it with a stick."

"You're so like you daddy, you even look like him. And he was an angel, composed of pure light... Your grandpa is gonna take such good care of you. At least until your daddy comes back to get you."

----

Peter snapped out of it when the cheering got louder, anxious to see the long lost prince. Peter took a large intake of breath, then stepped out of the Milano. He was introduced to huge skyscrapers glistening in silver, the sun shining brightly with a few clouds. People were all wearing red and gold, and they were going absolutely crazy when they first saw Peter. Quill looked around, then at his friends at the end of the carpet, with them was a tall and handsome man. J'son. Peter's face had a hint of fear, and awe as he walked forward, staring at no one else except for the man that was said to be his dad. He got face to face with the man, J'son only smiling warmly as he held out his hand. Peter hesitated, but eventually took it.

J'son then raised it above Peter's head, and looked at the crowd. "My son, Star-Lord, has come home!"

The crowd thundered with applause.

Peter never met his dad. He always hated him for leaving him and his mom all alone, and he hated him even more when his mom got sick. But she never hated him. She always kept saying he would be back, he was an angel. Yeah, Peter has seen a lot of things that go against gods and angels, so he wasn't so convinced. Quill was about to sleep until he heard a knock on his door. Removing his headphones he came out of his room, and walked to where Gamora was staring at a screen. What he saw was absolutely unbelievable.

The man on the screen looked a lot like Quill, but he felt more superior and battle damaged. As he talked, all Peter could do was stare at the man who claimed to be his father... He knew that he was half-terran, but he had no idea that he dad was still alive. If that was the case, why didn't he come back? Why did he leave him if he missed him so much? Peter's anger rose. "We're dropping Zero off. Then we're staying away from those coordinates." Peter said, walking towards the exit of the door.

"Quill, you don't understand! The Spartoi haven't been seen in years...! They're an ancient race, a cousin race to the Shi'ar--"

"I don't care." Peter said flatly. "If the Spartoi's are making contact with you, it has to be important, Peter... He's your father." Gamora said the last part a bit softly. He knew that Thanos killed her parents years ago and she became an involuntary adopted daughter. He turned to look at them. "Plus he's probably got more than enough goodies to set us up with." Rocket grinned.

There was a long pause as Peter stared at the screen of his "father." He would be lying to say that he wasn't curious. He had a lot of questions to ask him. And he had a lot of explaining to do. He didn't know what this race was, or what exactly they did to make themselves very secretive, but at the end of it, Peter wanted to give this J'son a piece of his mind, and to figure out his heritage.

"Fine. Lets drop Zero off, then head to those coordinates."

"As much as a trip to some tropical island sounds great, I can't leave these guys." Peter said with a small laugh, referring to the rest of them on the ship. "They need someone to look after them." Quill never would have said that years ago. He would have immediately jumped aboard to sail off with Nikki, but he had this sense of responsibility now. "Yeah, you can become some political figure for the goverment... Or." His eyes met her's and he shrugged. "You can stick with us for a while. Explore the galaxy, kick some ass, get some money. Plus i'm sure Gamora would appreciate another girl on board. Her company is a giant tree, a talking racoon, a very literal man, and a dashing galactic outlaw."

"You can think about it. Right now you need to rest. If you need food, or water, or anything else you can think of, you know where to find me." Peter put his hand on her arm gently, then after a second stood, and made his way out of the room for her to think about his proposal. As he walked out his shin hit something hard, and Peter kneeled over. "Ah what the hell-- Rocket!" Peter said grabbing his knee. Rocket was looking up at Quill, annoyed that he ran into him. "She awake?" Rocket asked. "I got her a gift." the thing Peter's shin made contact with was Rocket's gift. It was a sword, and luckily Peter hit the hilt.

"Where did you get that?" Peter asked. Rocket shrugged. "I uh, bought it while at Nowhere. Thought our guest would like it."

"You're not going in there, she's isn't ready to deal with you and very sharp weapons when she's dosed with drugs." Quill said firmly. "Wait a while, then you can see her." Peter said before he tried to make any argument. Peter was still a bit angry from his encounter with Zero, and Rocket could sense it, so he rolled his eyes and put the sword over his shoulder. "Fine." And with that, he walked back down the hall.

Peter rolled his eyes as well, and made his way towards his room. Inside were things he had since he was a kid. A backpack, a few baseball cards, action figures, and other small things he had in his backpack the night he left earth. He sat down on his bed, taking out his Walkman, and putting the headphones, and pressing play. He closed his eyes as one of the songs started to play, his anger going down, and his million thoughts all disappearing.
