Peter:

Peter often ruffles your hair if you pass him or if you did a good job on a mission. He will use your shoulder or head as an armrest, mostly to piss you off (man is 6’2, so it’s likely). He will let up if you’re actually upset by his actions, though. 

He appreciates that you’re a fellow Terran because you understand certain customs of Earth. He’ll come to you, eager for a high-five. Despite the action being minuscule, he appreciates the recognition. You’re only the few people who understand his cultural references,

Gamora: 

After a restless night, you can find Gamora in the kitchen sometimes. No words are shared as she fixes you a cup of hot chocolate. You know she will listen if you want to talk about your troubles. But she never pushes you for answers and instead you both sit in comfortable silence. 

She is quick to intervene if Peter, Drax, or Rocket are teasing you relentlessly. They shut their mouths fast from Gamora’s piercing glare. She will pull you aside later to make sure you’re okay because the guys can be childish idiots. 

Groot:

You stole Groot’s Gameboy once and hid it from him. He went absolutely berserk and tied you up with his vines. He didn’t release you before you told him where you hid his precious game. Suffice to say, you didn’t touch Groot’s Gameboy again.

You teamed up with Groot to prank Peter. You distracted Peter away from his beer. While he was conversing with you, Groot deposited several packets of salt into his open bottle. Groot sent you a thumb up once he finished the job. You watched gleefully as Peter sipped his drink. Both you and Groot laughed as Peter spat his alcohol out with disgust.

Rocket:

You like to accompany Rocket sometimes when he’s making new contraptions. He’ll humor you when you ask him about the materials he’s using and what he’s making. He made you a small gadget catered to your interests, which he left in your bedroom. When you approach Rocket to express your thanks, he’s quick to shrug your appreciation off. 

Similar to Groot, Rocket will rope you into his schemes. However, Rocket’s pranks are more ruthless than Groot’s. The two of you drew on Peter’s face with a permanent marker, which he struggled to remove. On top of that, you and Rocket replaced Peter’s shampoo with bright pink hair dye. The raccoon was quick to rat you out with him, which you weren’t surprised by. Thankfully, Peter was easier on you than with Rocket, but you weren’t off without punishment.

Mantis:

You like to play with Mantis’ hair by making a ponytail braid or a half-updo. She loves the new styles and asks if you know other ways to style her hair. You’ll scavenge around for scrunches or other hair ties so she can experiment with her appearance with your help.

Nearby, Kate crouched with her bow at the ready, glancing over at you. “Are you singing?” 

You gave her a sheepish grin, still humming. “It’s to help me focus.”

Nodding, Kate smiled at you before she took a deep breath and joined on the next line. “Deepfakes, earthquakes, Iceland volcano…”

Spider-Man swung in from above you, delivering a kick to a robotic enemy. He landed next to you, eyebrows raised beneath his mask. “Cool! Karaoke time!” Without hesitation, he joined in, surprisingly in tune. “Oklahoma City bomb…” 

Suddenly, an amplified voice added a deep resonance as a shadow loomed over you. “I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot…” Groot has caught on to what was happening. 

Soon enough, the four of you were all belting out the song, your voices melding together in a harmonious chorus. Your enemies, a group of heavily armed mercenaries even paused in their attacks. Staring in confusion at you all. 

“What the hell?” one of them muttered, lowering their weapon slightly. 

Even the most seasoned in their ranks, looked bewildered. “What is happening?” he growled, becoming distracted for a moment. 

You and your friends never missed a beat. You used the mercenaries’ confusion to your advantage. “Cambridge Analytica!” you sang together, your voices rang out across the battlefield. 

As the last of the mercenaries were knocked out, you regrouped, still singing the lines of the song.

Kate paused and looked confused when you all sang, “Robert Downey Jr, Iron Man.” Picking up her arrows she asked, “Wait, who’s Robert Downey Jr anyway?” 

“No idea,” Peter shrugged, sending one more punch toward a waking mercenary. “Must be some old actor.” 

Groot nodded, “I am Groot.” 

You laughed, shaking your head. “Tony will know.”

Once your enemies were tied up and the area was secure, you made your way back to the Quin Jet. As you and the rest of your team boarded, still humming together, you found the ‘older’ Avengers sitting inside, their heads in their hands.

Bucky looked up first, his face a mix of annoyance and amusement. “Do you realize we have comms? We heard… everything.” 

Steve sighed, rubbing his temples. “Every. Single. Note.”

With a raised eyebrow, Natasha made her way over to you. “Not the most conventional tactic, but it worked.” 

You blushed slightly. “Sorry, we just got carried away.” Sharing a look with your friends, you all tried to stifle your laughter. Leaning back in your seat, you began to hum softly again as the Quin Jet lifted off.

You didn’t even think to use the ladder the sat connected to the front of your bed before hopping of the side of the frame using the rail that kept you from falling off the mattress before letting go your feet hitting the floor with barely any sound

You didn’t even think to use the ladder the sat connected to the front of your bed before hopping of the side of the frame using the rail that kept you from falling off the mattress before letting go your feet hitting the floor with barely any sound

Rocket stirred awake a bolt that had landed next to his temple interrupting his peaceful sleep while drool feel down the corners of his snout, his hair smushed and tangled together

“What the hell is going on” He groaned his voice gruff scratching his cheek looking around the dimly lit room that never went dark just in case Groot had needed to make his way into the comfort into either of yours arms or wanted to go lay in his second bed in the corner that was filled with leaves and vibrant vines that slid up the wall and continued up the wall

Neither were ever rare.

“I don’t know but I can assure it’s something we don’t want to deal with at 3:00 In the morning” You sighed walking to the door that was already cracked open before opening it fully looking down the hallway before you gasped

“It came from Groot’s room!” You we’re already halfway down the hallway before Rocket could even respond as he began to run after you into the baby trees room alarms blaring as he followed

The door was off its hinges laying in the middle of the hallway a hole blown through it’s middle while smoke slipped from the room out into the hall that had you lightly coughing as you continued to walk through it you’d seen worse

“Groot! Groot are you okay!? Are you hurt, Are you alive something!?” Rocket called out his tone laced with so much worry you knew he was having heart palpitations hell you were having heart palpitations

Rocket wouldn’t admit it out loud but you both were his everything. He’d die for you, kill for you, steal for you, anything because you were all that mattered in the end.

“Oh there you are” You could hear the relief in Rockets door as you both entered the room fully a large hole in the floor while Groot kneeled above it attempting to duck tape it shut

“Did you remove the fuel rods!? How did you get the walls wet and on fire” Rocket had yelled frantically his eyes scattering around the room as he rubbed his temples his fur beginning to stick up in different directions before you shushed him softly squatting to his level holding out you arms which he climbed on taking his position to stand on your shoulders

“Groot why does it look like a bomb went off in here?” You questioned standing back to your full height sweatpants resting against your waist and a sports bra secure around your torso

“I am Groot” The tree simply responded a almost proud look plastered on his face still crouching down on his potion on the floor

“A bomb did go off?” Rocket repeated out loud from the position on your shoulders before sliding down your body his nails gripping the fabric to assures he didn’t fall but not enough to rip the fabric

“What were you thinking!?”

Groot began to frown now standing up on both of his feet looking towards the floor while Rocket could feel your burning gaze in the back of his head having told him plenty times that you needed to encourage soft parenting and reasonable discipline

“Don’t give me that look, don’t think you’re getting out of this by being cute” You noticed Rocket had fixed his approached and you couldn’t help but let a small smile slip on your face

“What is this, more trash? It better be a written apology” Rocket muttered to himself in the Result of Groot handing him a piece of paper while he squinted at first before pulling out his reading glasses placing them on the beginning of his snout

The picture was of Groot holding the both of you tightly in his arms while you embraced him back all with bright smiles on your face rockets tails make of small twigs, while leaves had been used for your hair, all of you having googly eyes

“Look how big you are” Rocket muttered a smile on his face that no matter how hard he tried he wouldn’t be able to hide

“Groots it’s adorable you did so well” You added bringing a hand to your chest in disbelief finally meeting his big doe eyes while he moved closer to you both at your feet

“This is very nice, we should get it framed. Put it up on the fridge” Rocket agreed a wide grin never leaving his face before Groot ran to you both extending his arms as the picture showed as you hugged both boys in return you could feel Rocket stiffen before relaxing and briefly mirroring your actions

“I can’t stay mad at you can I?” Rocket chuckled one hand on the tiny surface of groots shoulder and his other arm wrapped around your lower back

Groot giggled childishly before rushing out of the hug and door continuing down the hallway to your room while Rocket for once stayed still taking a moment to breathe by your side

“He gets that from you y’know?” You gestured to around the room and then the door a small smirk on your face

“Yea and he gets all the mushy shit from you” He added nudging your shoulder before finally standing to his full height you following in suite

“Better than taking after anyone else then yea?” It was more of a statement than a question as you both made your way back to your shared room to see the little tree lied on your pillow sleeping broken off branches he’d used to climb blocking Rockets way to get to his own bed

“It’s about to get even more mushy honey” You teased before climbing up to your bed while the Groot subconsciously scooted closer towards you while Rocket followed grumpily In suite muttering about how he didn’t have time for this and would deal with it in the morning

You’re beyond grateful to have Rocket and Groot, as strange as that may sound to anyone who hasn’t befriended the peculiar raccoon and tree. They found you when you were at your worst, no where to go and no one left to turn to. You surely would’ve died if they hadn’t found you and taken you in as part of their team.

Since then, you’ve tagged along to pretty much all of their endeavors—most of which are illegal—but you don’t mind.

This time around, you’re helping them steal a highly valued and highly secured artifact. None of you are exactly sure what it is, you just know it’s worth at least millions.

Rocket hacks into the building fairly easily as usual, but you’re met with way more security than you calculated for upon entering. There’s force fields everywhere, and you’re afraid a single wrong step will set off an alarm. Groot holds you back with a branch.

“Alright, here’s what we’re gonna do,” Rocket says. “I’ll go first, and I see if I can turn off the force fields,”

“Why can’t I go first?” you ask. You’ve been trying to get Rocket to give you more responsibility during heists, and he’s always so hesitant. Both of them are so protective of you it’s a little annoying.

“You can go second. How’s that for a compromise?” he runs forward and you groan.

He makes it through the maze of force fields no problem, and actually does find the off switch so you and Groot can get through.

Ahead, there’s a large safe. The three of you run up to it, but find that…

It’s empty.

The door is wide open and there’s nothing inside.

“I am Groot?”

“Of course we’re in the right place!”

You swear you see an unfamiliar shadow in your peripheral vision, and you look to the side and gasp. There’s another person there, and he’s holding what you’re here for.

You run after him, Rocket and Groot screaming after you as you go. You actually do recognize him now that you think of it, he’s on the wanted list just like Rocket and Groot. He must’ve had the same idea they did to steal this thing.

You chase him into a dead end, and you try to grab it from him. He dodges you, and before you process it, he pulls out a gun and shoots you.

You fall to the ground, shrieking in pain. The other criminal runs away, and you try to breathe. Blood starts soaking the side of your shirt, and you hear Rocket’s voice in the distance.

You must’ve briefly passed out, because when your eyes open again, Rocket and Groot are already at your side, loudly arguing.

“Holy shit,” Rocket panics. “Shit, shit, shit,”

“I am Groot!”

“We can’t bring them into a hospital! We’re all wanted criminals!”

“I am Groot?”

“We don’t have any Med Packs either!” Rocket meets your eyes as you slowly become conscious again. “How are you doing?”

“Not good,” you reply, wincing from the pain.

“I am Groot!!”

Okay so he’s not the most serious father, like have you seen how he acts a lot of times, (not serious) but that might be the fact that he hide everything behind humor. But still he’s not the most serious father. Don’t get me wrong though he can be serious if he needs too, when it comes to you

As his mother died I believe that Peter is rather protective, he doesn’t want to lose someone again, especially not a family member

Stealing his jet boot attachments and playing around with them — leading to you getting hurt and an angry dad who’s patching you up

He won’t admit it but he was a bit proud after you stole your first thing (Yondu and Rocket were really proud and showed it too)

On the note of stealing you took his guns on various of occasion — your father isn’t too happy about that either

As well as stealing things with Rocket — you once stole Bucky’s arm, though you had to give it back eventually to him — thank your father for that

When you were little you used to take his jackets and walk around in Milano while the Jacket was on you — the jacket swallowed your whole body and it dragged behind you — though your father couldn’t be too mad about as he thought it adorable — he does have a picture of it

Cuddles with your father whenever you can’t sleep

He gave you your own jacket which you adore (it looks like his jacket) you have both a short and a long one (a coat) and you love both equally

Bedtime stories included those few earth bedtime stories that he still remembered or got the book of, otherwise he just came up with something on the spot

Having the same taste in music

So you always steal his Walkman and headphones

Not going to school but being kinda homeschooled by your family

As a teenager you rebelled a lot just to annoy your father, he always forgave you for whatever you do, except that one time you accidentally made a hole in Milano

When you drank for the first time everyone was a bit mad because you had snuck out to do it, you weren’t shit-faced-drunk just a bit tipsy and you accidentally fell asleep on the floor

If you two want a tattoo you would definitely have matching ones, which showed how close you are

Gamora would be the one to teach you how to fight, with or without Peter’s permission, while your dad taught you how to shoot with guns and fly with his jet boots attachments

Rocket would teach you about explosives

Yondu proably taught you how to steal things

However when it came to being taught to fly Milano you didn’t want anyone other than you dad to teach you

I feel like Gamora would easily fall into the line of a mother, we all know how she is like a mother to baby groot (while the others are like fathers/uncles) so I do truly believe that she’d fall in the mother category, or like a badass aunt (mostly mother as she’s in a relationship with Peter)

Gamora is the responsible adult of the group, always making sure you actually take care of yourself (as Peter isn’t too good at it)

Rocket would be like the cool irresponsible uncle or brother, mostly uncle.

Rocket would always get you into stealing things with him, you know when he stole this batteries (forgot their actual name will look it up later) in the first scenes of the second gotg movie, well you helped steal those — your father wasn’t too much of a fan about that

You are the only one actually allowed to pet him (when you were litte that was) because you always thought his fur was soft and you enjoyed petting him, he would never admit it but it is kinda relaxing whenever you pet him on the head, however he hated it every time you dragged his tail when you were a child

Groot would definitely be like a brother, especially after the first guardian of the galaxy movie, you know when he’s baby groot and teenage groot.

You and Groot would often play video games together, not stopping even when your father tells you to stop playing for a moment

Groot gifts you flowers whenever you are sad, which always cheers you up a bit

Drax is definitely an uncle. Though sometimes he acts like a father, after all he did once have a daughter

He once tried to teach you how to be invisible, I can say it never worked

Yondu is the badass cool uncle everyone wants (damn you have a lot of uncles),

when you were a kid Yondu used to make his arrow go around in your room creating different shapes to get you to sleep

He’d never admit it but he does love you, and if anything happened to you he’d kill whoever hurt you (if it isn’t one of the guardians bc he knew you’d never forgive him for that)

On the matter of people getting hurt, your dad would do anything to stop you from hurting (except to kill you if you hurt from dying, he’d never be able to do that) he’d kill anyone that gave you an injury

If anyone nearly kills you they get an instant death

Boyfriend/Girlfriends or whatever you want is okay for your dad, he knows he can’t stop you but he does have the rule that as soon as they hurt you or tries something you don’t want to do, you need to go and tell him so that he can help you get away from them (without causing too many enemies, might end with one or two persons killed but oh well)

On that note he doesn’t care what your sexuality is, after all he is bisexual himself

But don’t get me wrong about his overprotective mess you are the same way towards him. When he met his father Ego you were as skeptic as him to begin with and it continued throughout the whole visit, after all your grandfather left your fathers family before why should he come back now if all times?

Your grandfather tried to get you over to his side as well, you did have some of that power in which Peter also had but he only wanted you on his side because he knew that would turn Peter over to his side, however it didn’t go to well you only hated him more because he wanted to use you to gain your fathers trust

Thinking Peter died at the end of the second gotg was the worst thing possible

But hearing that Yondu died broke your heart, he was one of the people you had grown up with and he was your cool badass uncle/grandfather, you never “replaced” him that’s for sure

Gamora’s death broke you even more than Yondu’s death, you lost a mother that day and you could never replace that, it wasn’t the same after that and it seemed a lot more dull in life, you went into slight depressive episode from time to time afterwards

Meeting Nebula for the first time involved a lot of drama

Meeting Thor was a lot of drama as well

Being friends with Peter Parker

Being friends with Shuri who helped you build your own jet boots (your father was slightly jealous as your are better than his)

You didn’t get dusted so when your father came back you were older and he was really sad that he missed five terrible years of your life, because she knew it would of been better if he was with you

Helping take the power stone together with Nebula and Rhodey included laughing at your fathers dance

Being so happy you nearly exploded when your family came back from the blip, you had your father back, and all your uncles/aunts/brothers

Overall you are a family made up of a bunch of idiots a-holes to say it by the first movies words
