[ Peter almost wished this was the first time he had ended up snatched onto a strange spaceship and woken up in a pod. Hell, he wished this was the first time it had happened in the last six months, but that wasn't the way his life worked. At least this time it wasn't members of his father's army that had been sent to snatch him up.

Today, Peter's face was going to grace the Tranquility with a touch of amusement. Sure, this wasn't the best of situations, but it wasn't the worst, either. ]

First thing's first, everyone- I'm gonna get the basics out of the way and introduce myself: the name's Peter Quill and in some parts I'm known as Star-Lord. No, I didn't pick the name for myself. [ A beat. ]

I would have gone with "James," to be honest. [ Were people laughing? ]

Anyway, what do you all remember before waking up here? Anything like cracks in the fabric of reality? Seriously, if you saw tentacles, we might have a problem that we shouldn't be having. [ As opposed to problems they should be having, but hey- he went to a lot of trouble to make sure the tentacled horrors of creation didn't come creeping through. ]

And on a final note, if you're with the Spartoi, the Shi'ar, the Kree, or the Badoon: make sure to keep your flarking keesters out of trouble, okay? I don't wanna have to keep on playing cleanup after you guys while we're all stuck here.

... Whaaat? But it's good for you! [ No, Peter. ]

Next you're gonna tell me you don't read comics.

No it's not.

[damian is judging you so hard right now peter.]

Of course I don't read comics. It's a frivolous waste of time with no real world benefits.

Kid, you need therapy. [ As if he's one to talk. ]

I'm gonna dig around this clunker and find you every sci-fi and fantasy story I can find.

[there's the tiniest twitch of a reaction to peter's diagnosis, somewhere around damian's eyes, before he manages to smooth it away because wow peter way to hit the nail on the head there.

his expression turns slightly vicious as a result when he answers.] Don't bother, I don't want it.

[ Peter blinks at the reaction. He wasn't expecting that one. ]

I was kidding about the therapy.

[somehow damian manages to combine even more glaring with a deeply intense look of 'are you stupid?']

I was talking about the stories.

[ Sure, Damian. ]

Right, right, the stories. [ He blows out some air. ]

Well, I'll go looking just in case. Might as well keep myself occupied. If you change your mind, though.

[damian is pretty damn sure he doesn't like you, peter quill.]

I won't change my mind.

[starbuckslord]

[ He's used to that. He's just that lovable. ]

Okay, just putting it out there.
