“And what if he succeeds? You’ll end up with another daddy.”
Kraglin pulled a face and glared at Peter. “No,
I won’t!” he hissed. He grunted and took a moment to calm down. “Yondu… will
just have a boyfriend. He don’t mean nothin’ to me.”Looks at him and frowns a bit. “You hate family huh…… bet you hate me too….. kinda….. I’ve always wanted a family……. “
Kraglin looked at peter again, shocked. “What?
Pete, no, that… that ain’t what I meant. I like bein’ ‘round an’ close-like
with you an’ Yondu. Pete, you got
a family. It ain’t a conventional one, but we’re family anyhow.“It’s just… I ain’t Ramon’s biggest fan. Iffin’ Yondu wanna
bang uglies with him, that’s fine. I ain’t calling him ‘daddy’ though.”Peter looks at Kraglin and leans against him. “If he goes….. I might go with him… back to earth… terra…… “
Kraglin looked at him, frowning. “What do ya
mean?” he asked. “Why would you go? Y’said you ain’t got family on Earth
anymore… Y’don’t know who your daddy is so you can’t go find him.”Quill looks at him and sighs. “Because it’s safe…… andcwho knows… maybe Carlos will let me tag along…”
“But y’got family here, Pete,” Kraglin said. “An’
Youndu – he’s gonna overhaul the crew an’ keep the ones who’ll treat ya right.
You ain’t gotta go, Pete – we’ll fix things.”“Fixed until the next hibernation…. and no one can stop them..”
“Our hibernations ain’t synchronized,” Kraglin
said. “An’… I hate to say this Pete, but when since this has happened once…. I
ain’t about to let it happen again. Now that I know some folks ain’t above
assaultin’ someone who ain’t normal crew.” Kraglin shifted and put an arm
around Peter, pulling him in. “C’mon, Pete… just think about it.”
