Peter Quill: Oh, I know. But he was about the only family I had.
Gamora: No. He wasn't.
Rocket is sat by Groot's pile of twigs crying when Drax sits next to him and starts stroking his head to comfort him. Aleya lays on y/n's now unarmored lap and coughs weakly as he strokes her hair.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Quill: Why would you even know this?
Corpsman Dey: When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system, so we had it checked out.
Peter Quill: I'm not Terran?
Nova Prime: You are half Terran. Your mother was of earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen here before.
Gamora: That could be why you were able to hold the stone for as long as you did.
A door opens, Drax and Rocket have joined them with Rocket holding a pot with a tiny Groot planted in it. Soon after, y/n and Aleya arrive, their hair messy and their clothes rugged.
Peter Quill: Why do you guys look-
y/n: -We were...
Aleya: Dancing.
y/n winks at Peter since he's the only other one who'd get the joke.
Nova Prime: Your friends have arrived. On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Denarian Dey, he has something to show you.
Peter Quill: Thank you, Nova Prime.
Gamora: Thank you.
As the group follow Dey, Gamora walks next to Drax.
Gamora: Your wife and child shall rest well knowing that you have avenged them.
Drax: Yes. Of course, Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos I need to kill.
The group follow Dey outside who takes them to the restored Milano.
Corpsman Dey: We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible. We salvaged as much as we could.
Peter Quill: Wow I... thank you.
Corpsman Dey: I have a family who are alive because of you. Your criminal records have also been expunged. However, I have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future.
Rocket: Question. What if I see something that I want to take, and it belongs to someone else?
Corpsman Dey: Well you will be arrested.
Rocket: But what if I want it more than the person who has it?
Corpsman Dey: Still illegal.
Rocket: That doesn't follow. No, I want it more, sir. Do you understand? What are you laughing at? Why? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?
He starts following Gamora, y/n and Aleya towards the Milano.
Drax: What if someone does something irksome and I decide to remove his spine?
Corpsman Dey: That's... that's actually murder. It's one of the worst crimes of all, so also illegal.
Drax: Hmm.
Drax starts making his way to the Milano.
Peter Quill: They'll be fine, Dey. I'm gonna keep an eye on 'em.
