yeah it's suuuper weird but you can use it to like go to earth in basically 30 seconds it kind of works by making you travel through dimensions? it's why i didn't think it was weird that you knew a me from another universe like there's tons of universes out there i bet it's wild man cosmo protects it to make sure nobody uses it for evil or anything like Thanos could have totally destroyed earth if he had access to that
the taste takes some getting used to a lot of space beer has like a weird aftertaste actually a lot of space food has weird aftertastes you get used to it after a while but like, man i do kinda miss human stuff sometimes mostly cake when's your birthday? we should get cake maybe i'll surprise you and invite your other friends
Let's not talk about Thanos right now please my mood is too good right now Though yeah Gwen can tell you about all the other Peter Parkers and Spider-people she's met I feel left out you guys with these dimensional stuff All I did was stick to a spacecraft But this is actually pretty cool actually that I got to meet you guys You're my favorite Quill for sure
I mean I can bake you a cake I'm not a great cook or anything but You know I can make something Not useless when it comes to chores and stuff My aunt is busy and pretty much a single mom with me so I help out where I can
Also my birthday is in August Do it for Gwen Hers is super soon
oh flark yeah sorry totally, consider it dropped bud different universe, different problems am I right space is cool though glad you think so!!!! it's an honor to be your fave, man plus you've got new york city, that's like the coolest place on earth, isn't it?
[ Look, he even called it earth... ]
we kinda take turns doing the chores back on the Milano so I can do a little bit of everything but cooking's never been my strong suit that's more Drax's thing
ooooh we gotta plan, then!!! she likes music, right? does she like surprises? you know her best, what do you have in mind?
(he sees what you're doing, quill, he appreciates it.)
I mean There's some really cool stuff You haven't been right but I think if you go there in the Milano you're gonna sound every alarm ever So maybe Careful
Honestly he's funny from the little I spent with him
She does, she's a drummer, but I'm not so sure on the surprises Maybe you can invite her to do something yourself she might get a little overwhelmed with a lot of attention I saved a little money so I'm taking her to dinner but she doesn't know yet
oooh yeah no earth is like pre space-flight even in my world so it's generally considered a bad idea to fly up in the airspace there plus there's tons of superheroes and stuff with my luck they'd think I was coming to invade or something I pop out with my visor and they might shoot first, ask questions later
I heard her rocking out when I first showed up here! she's really good dude maybe I'll invite her to a jam sesh something casual so it's chill!
also I know you said you weren't gonna date her but I gotta tell you that that sounds like a date
I think we are getting used to the aliens, but depending on where you land, you know Thor is kinda like an alien I think if you make contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. first they're not gonna shoot But you'd have to deal with Him
(nick... fury.......)
Yeah I think that'd make her really happy Something more lowkey you know
I never said I didn't like her!!! It's the whole me being dead thing that was the problem!!!
I definitely have it all planned out It's going to be a nice dinner I'll pull her chair We're gonna eat and go home and play the wackiest movie I can find
dude......... you're not dead HERE though! that's gotta mean something right?
that sounds AWESOME dude good luck!! she's gonna love it
just carpe diem the hell out of this, alright? you guys are both here from different universes or whatever, so you gotta make the best of what you have!
I kinda felt it, yah. Come in, sorry for the... Webs, it's easier to grab stuff like that.
(remote too far? web. at least it dissolves and disappears, but there are a few here and there. it's a tiny place, bunk bed, old couch, secondhand tv and DVD, small kitchen, remodelled dining table. they did not spend much in this place, but it's totally fine, it's liveable, they like it!)
Here, yeah, but Gwen knows a bunch. She multiversed, so she knows a bunch of Peter Parkers and other types of Spider-People. I had absolutely no idea, dude.
Rocket would wanna shred this place. He yells at me if I so much as leave a wire in his way.
[ Peter says that fondly though. This mess feels very much like something Rocket would do -- maybe if he was part spider instead of part raccoon. ]
Guess if more show up, you guys'll know what to do! I've only got the one friend who sees all timelines all the time, she's really hard to understand but I sorta get where she's coming from.
You do live with a lotta people, right, so someone's got to keep it organized.
(two people, it isn't so bad! they don't have a whole lot, and the mess is self-cleaning, thank you science! the webs poof sooner than later, it's fine.
there's not much to see, so he's just going to take them to the couch.)
This whole thing is super new to me! It's a little disorienting, because there's just one person I know who knows what I'm talking about, mostly, he's from my New York, but you know, I guess I should get used to this sooner than later, because I don't see it stopping. I mean, does anything phase you at this point, Quill?
Yeah! We keep it, uh... kinda organized. Me and the rest of the Guardians all live on the Milano, so we've got about five rooms if we move some stuff around, which I'm thinking we might 'cause we have to make room for Nikki...
[ He definitely talks about her a little differently, more uncertain. He's just hoping she'll be OK tbh. ]
Hey, that's cool you've got someone from home, though. [ He grins. ] Nope, I'm pretty much unphasable! I survived having an evil alien try to get in my head and use some of my most painful memories against me to try and kill me. Plus, then we had to go into Drax's memories and pull him outta his weird nightmares. And I mean, I'm literally buddies with a talking, Russian dog, who runs security in Knowhere so. It's kind of hard to freak me out.
[ He shrugs. Yeah. His life really is like this... ]
(doesn't sound like the same cast as seen in his home - these guardians of the galaxy, everytime someone new --- and then peter continues talking, and each sentence makes him look a little more confused, a little more concerned, a lot internally screaming.
bro, are you okay?????)
... And this place, dude? It's not like, freaking you out at all?
[ He shrugs, but he actually knows that's kind of a big bomb to drop so he does explain. ]
I spent like, a week thinking she was my daughter, only it turned out she wasn't -- but he mom and I were close, and she kinda didn't have anybody else to turn to after all the scut with the Promise, you know? So we took her on, she's a Guardian now!
[ He is actually quite proud of her. Super proud. She's the best! ]
But yeah, I mean. Being stuck dirtside for this long sucks, don't get me wrong. But this isn't even like a real prison or anything. I've had way worse.
(he was about to have a ?!?!?! and then the rest comes. jesus, quill, what a trip. to have a kid!? in space?! but there's a smile on his lips that tell him there's a fondness in his thoughts. sure that quill isn't the most dad-like person, he feels exactly like the perfect big brother, but thinking about it further...
he'd be a fun, empathetic and amazing dad. nikki's lucky.)
... I'm glad she found you, man. And, yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm sure this place will be a walk in the park for you, right?
[ He was extremely freaked out about it at first, thank goodness he had like a week to accept it (and then realize she wasn't biologically his, thank flark.) Time away does mean he misses her -- but he misses the rest of the Guardians too. ]
Yeah. Honestly? Me too. [ He gets kinda shy about this! Aw. ] I mean, her mom was really amazing, so she had the best role model growing up. Now she's got me -- and well, the rest of the Guardians, too. Between all of us, I think she's gonna be alright.
[ He sounds sure about it. Well, a little scared, but mostly sure. A kid is a big responsibility... good thing it's a responsibility they all share. ]
But yeah! Chitauri prison was way worse. And I mean, most of the guys there didn't even speak English. The fact that I can talk to people here's already way better! It's like these guys don't know how to build a prison, you know? Not that I'm complaining.
I mean, you might not be her blood dad, but it still matters a bunch. I don't have parents, you know, and I was raised by my aunt and uncle, but my uncle passed and it's just my aunt now. She's my everything, so I think intent matters, too.
(and quill would be a good father, he thinks. one a kid would not have an issue telling anything, one that would be there through any ups and downs... he'd rock at parenthood, even if he's a little like a kid himself. maybe that's good, maybe that's a bad part, he doesn't know.)
Wait, you had to learn Chitauri.. an? Wait, what did you do? Mimic? Mess around and find out?!
My mom was there for me growing up -- we lived with her mom and dad; my grandparents, till they passed away when I was little. Couldn't have asked for a better family.
[ He can say that with a smile, now that he's had some time (and trauma) to deal with it and face it. He had a good childhood. It made up for the rest. ]
Haha... nope. [ He pops the 'p' on "nope," keeping his tone light. ] I spent about a year just not being able to talk to anybody! Or being understood, far as I could tell. The only thing that saved me was when this Centaurian guy called Yondu got sent to my cell -- Yondu spoke English, and the two of us busted out about a year after that.
No, it's cool. I love her a bunch, I'm well-taken care of.
(but it seems like death also follows quill. there's also that little part of him who wants to ask about the dad part, because isn't his dad an asshat? but now is definitely not the time.)
........................... DUDE, HOW DID YOU NOT DIE??? Or, well, how did you know what to do in prison?! And then how did you-- wait, how did that guy speak English-- though, every alien I met did speak English... Is that a thing?
Hah, well. They had to keep me alive, duh. I wasn't much use as a hostage dead.
[ He says that a little too casually, rolling it back because, uh, that's actually kinda serious? ]
Sorry, I should back up. My dad, it turns out, was the king of the planet Spartax. Not that I knew that or anything, but I guess the Chitauri kidnapped me so they could hold me for ransom, and try to keep Spartax from fighting in the Galactic War. I don't think it really worked; my dad never showed up. But like in the meantime they fed me and stuff, they just like, kept me in a cell and made me watch the coliseum matches and stuff. I didn't really get what was going on, I was just a scared kid.
[ He shrugs. He definitely doesn't want to get into that, so he perks up as he gets to the subject of Yondu. ]
But Yondu spoke English cause he was a space pirate! Most people have translator implants to help 'em understand most of the languages out there, but pirates tend to work with a lot of species that don't stick to the "usual" channels. So he spoke like 10-15 languages on the count of being super friggin' old. English was just one of 'em cause that's what most Terrans speak.

it's why i didn't think it was weird that you knew a me from another universe
like there's tons of universes out there i bet
it's wild man
cosmo protects it to make sure nobody uses it for evil or anything
like Thanos could have totally destroyed earth if he had access to that
the taste takes some getting used to

I saved a little money so I'm taking her to dinner but she doesn't know yet
no subject
oooh yeah no
earth is like pre space-flight even in my world

I pop out with my visor and they might shoot first, ask questions later
I heard her rocking out when I first showed up here!
