Off to a Better Place
"I'm fine," Came Rocket's almost immediate retort to Venice's attempts at helping. Despite his generally unkempt attitude, Rocket still indulged the green one's and the rabbit's interest in his work. "I'm modifyin' the weapons system on this here android." Rocket would say as he pulled the trigger on the blowtorch yet again, welding the makeshift sword further into the hole where EVE's arm once was. "Those a-holes up in that ship think some dinky blaster's gonna be all their top security needs." He smirked and shook his head. "If anything, I'm doin' them a favor."
Back in the main room, Gamora had smiled towards Akari at his words. "Well, thank you, Akari." She said, nodding slowly. "You are very kind."
Not much later, however, Drax's slow chip eating and Gamora's general discussion hour had been interrupted by the sudden appearance of Frank Castle. Of course, neither of these Guardians knew him, so they merely shot him their own quirked brows. Rocket was back in his room still, so he didn't have the pleasure of meeting the old man firsthand... well, not yet anyways.
"Close," Gamora said with a slow nod. "We're the Guardians of the Galaxy, actually." She exclaimed with a... sort of friendly smile. Drax, on the other hand, merely watched Frank with a blank stare. Until slowly, he opened his mouth, spewing out bits of his chips and saliva onto the floor in the process.
"What is this Kansas you speak of?" He asked in a... genuinely curious sounding tone. "And no... you are not there. You are in space... on The Benatar... in space." He explained in a very slow, almost blunt tone.
Outside of the ship entirely, Leo had been standing near the two kids and Blake when the latter decided she wanted to go and get acquainted with the new people. Normally, Leo would have followed without much hesitation, but something had caught his eye. Something green... slinking right around the back of the ship.
"Uhhh....." His voice would trail off a bit as he watched the figure move a bit, and then slowly, he tilted his head up to look back at the small group. "I'll catch up!" He called out, and once they were gone, he slowly made his way over to the tail of the spaceship in question. It didn't take long for Yoshi to catch Leo's sight, though his appearance didn't catch the maroon-haired teen off guard one bit. In fact, he actually thought Yoshi was kinda cute! "U-uhh... hey there, little guy..." Leo said to Yoshi as he held out an arm towards him. "W-what's your name?"
Oh, and Captain Falcon was also there too, for some reason. But all Leo could do was silently think to himself... when the heck did he get down here?

Jason hadn't spoken a single word as Alexis made her exit from the Captain Quarters. He thought he should say something, to be sure. Hell, he knew that he should have. But when he tried to find the right words to say... nothing came out. All he did was stand there and look over his shoulder slightly when the kitsune promptly exited the team. He allowed everyone else to say their goodbyes, of course, but Jason himself remained silent all the while. He hadn't felt this sort of anger towards anyone... since Bruce. It was for vastly different reasons, but those petty feelings that he'd once had began to resurface nonetheless. He didn't like it... but it was too late to come to terms with them now.
Because by the time he'd fully turned around, Alexis was already gone.
As Jason slowly dropped the cigarette he'd been smoking onto the ground, he nonchalantly stomped it out under his foot, making an effort to grind the remnants into the ground while he simultaneously picked up his red helmet and slid it back onto his head. When he re-entered the room, he crossed his arms and stayed silent, watching as The Captain began to exchange words with Quill and Haws.
"W-well..." The Captain stammered in response. "I don't know how I feel about harboring criminals--"
"Hey, hey!" Star-Lord interrupting as he held up both his hands in defense. "We're not criminals!" He said, turning his head to face Haws in the process and shooting him an annoyed glare. He exhaled through his nose, and then turned back towards The Captain. "We're not even from this universe. And we don't even need really stay here. We just need to refuel, and then we can be on our way."
"I... uh..." The Captain wold sputter out awkwardly as he rubbed at the back of his neck. "Well, I suppose that's fine.... only problem is, I don't really know how to do that. AUTO normally did it for us, but..." The Captain would give a weary glance towards the elevator that Alexis had just left out of, and exhale through his nose again. "Well... ya know..."
Jason, meanwhile, merely shot Jared an angry glare behind the helmet. "He also has an army, reality warping powers, an Infinity Stone, near indestructable skin, and an assload of Twilight." He then tilted his head up at Hiryu, and through grit teeth, he muttered, "Not. The. Time." Then, Kyou had approached him, asking for a cigarette. He nodded and produced the box of cigarettes and shuffled it around a bit until one fell into the palm of his hand like clockwork. Although he remained silent, Jason would still offer the cancer stick up to the Oni.
And then, Benedict shot at the ceiling, which really didn't affect anyone but Quill and The Captain, who both flinched badly at the sudden loud noise. "What!? D-dude, you don't need to remove anyone from anything!" Star-Lord shouted as he held up both hands and pushed them down in a calming motion. "Just... chill the f out, okay?"
And then, just like that, Geralt had suddenly appeared in the room out of seemingly nowhere. Well, he'd come from the nearby thin hallway. But he certainly hadn't been there before much was certain. Jason and Peter offered long, silent glances towards each other, while Micah merely stayed hold up against the wall, a cigar in hand. Midna had been the first to break the silence, floating over to the older looking man with a wide, toothy grin. "Well, someone's late to the party!" She exclaimed with a snicker, before knocking her knuckles against his forehead as if it were a door. "So, what universe did you crawl out of, hm?" She asked, her words followed by an impish giggle. Which was fitting, considering the fact that she was literally an imp. Of course, what Midna wasn't expecting, was to be unceremoniously sandwiched between Ciri and Geralt's little reunion hug moments later.
Throughout all of this, though, thanks to Orbeck's wacky magic spells, AUTO had successfully been restored! Both The Captain and Star-Lord watched the reconstruction with wide eyes. "Holy shit..." Was all that Quill could formulate in response, while The Captain merely stared in awe. AUTO may as well have been as good as new! It took a few moments, but eventually a low, static-like buzzing could be heard from within the steering wheel, as the familiar red light in its center snapped back to life.
"AWAITING FURTHER ORDERS, CAPTAIN."
The sight and sound of AUTO alone made The Captain laugh loudly in his seat. He would have jumped for joy, had it not been for... well, ya know. "I don't know how you did that... but you're a life-saver!" He exclaimed again, before letting out another laugh. "And to think, I thought I was about to start making my own coffee in the mornings!" There was yet another laugh, though after a few short moments, The Captain caught sight of Jason's icy glare behind his red hot helmet, and he could immediately tell that he wasn't in the laughing mood. As a result, he gulped slightly, before clearing his throat. "R-right... AUTO!" He would exclaim, looking up at the steering wheel.
"YES, CAPTAIN?"
"I need you to re-fuel the most recent spaceship in the Deck in Sector C."
"NEGATIVE, CAPTAIN."
The Captain's smile soon was reduced into a confused frown after hearing this. "N-negative?" He asked aloud, as if he hadn't heard AUTO correctly. "Why?"
"MY SYSTEMS WERE CUT OFF FROM THE REST OF THE SHIP. IT WILL TAKE ROUGHLY FOUR HOURS FOR THE SYNCHRONIZATION TO COMPLETE."
"Four hours!?" Quill shouted in equally as much disbelief as The Captain. "Me and my team don't have four hours, blinky! We probably don't even have one!" Quill shouted angrily towards the steering wheel, though its emotionless state remained unwavering.
"Well, there's nothing we can do," The Captain sighed. "Guess you guys are gonna have to refuel manually..."
