Star-Lord - Pt. 9 - Space Oddity Pt. 9.

Inside Peter's most recent employer's ship, the man paced the floor in anticipation of Skeleton Ki to arrive. He kept a constant watch outside one of the hull windows to make sure he did not miss the man's arrival. Moments pass and just as he turned away, Peter's ship came into view and shot passed the window without the man's knowledge. Peter docked just outside the ship and found his way inside the ship by himself.

 

An alert ran out through the ship and the man ran to a console to see what was the matter. He saw Peter walking down a corridor to the room he was in. He pressed a button to open a comm to the hallway.

 

"Peter! What are you doing here?" Peter didn't answer but instead turned to the camera, he then lifted his middle finger and opened up the control rooms door. "Quill, get out of my ship, now!"

 

"What you're not happy to see me, Tivan? You did actually hire me to steal this regulator for you." Peter pulled the polarity regulator from one of his belt pockets and lifted up to Tivan. Just before he could grab it, Peter pulled the device back to himself and threw it to the ground. Quill then stomped his boot onto the device, breaking it into hundreds of pieces. "Oops."

 

"Why'd you do that? That device is expensive?" Peter quickly punched the man in the cheek, causing Tivan to drop to his knees and spit out blood. "The heck?"

 

"You sent a man to steal it from me. When you knew good and well that I could handle this device on my own."

 

"I had a good source tell me that you could not be trusted. Heck, you lied about your background."

 

"What?"

 

"I know you're not really an Earthling."

 

"What?"

 

"Oh stop playing... Oh, haha! You don't, do you..." Tivan begins walking around Peter and wags his finger in a discerning manor. "Oh this is rich!"

 

"What are you talking about? My dad died when I was younger from a drunk driver." This prompts Tivan to laugh aloud and gingerly slap Peter on his cheek a couple of times.

 

"My dear boy, how sadly mistaken you are. No wonder you insist on making a living by stealing. You could have riches unimaginable if you knew the truth."

 

"What?" Tivan does not answer, but instead walks to his ship's console. He types in coordinates and pulls them up to the ship's windscreen. He points at them and smiles at Peter.

 

"There's a reason they call me the Collector. Not only do I collect artifacts that have unimaginable significance, but I collect information on every being in the cosmos. This man here is one heck of a specimen." Peter puts on his helmet and clicks a button to open the comm between his ship.

 

"Rora, scan these coordinates and put them into your database."

 

"Spartax, why there?" Peter turns from the Collector and walks out of the control room. He does not speak until he jumps into the cockpit of his trusted ship. Once he does he flicks on the engines and speeds off into space.

 

"To find some answers..."
