The second Peter Quill's ship docked at Stark tower I started to panic. This is it. I'm on Earth. Everyone will hate me.

I was very appreciative to Peter for saving me. He happened to be on a mission and saw that I was being held as a slave. This happens often to Kry women in my Galaxy. But Peter remembered me. We dated for awhile a few years ago. My family is gone and I had nowhere else to go. He said he was headed to earth to meet up with the avengers. Whoever they are. He offered to bring me along and I was welcome to stay with him or stay on earth.

To be honest I don't really want to stay with him. It was nice of him to offer. But I can tell I make him and the other girl Gamora uncomfortable. It's not that I still have feelings for him. But it is odd. We don't really know each other anymore. So here we are on earth, about to meet new people. I'm still not sure how to act around others. Being a slave for so long will make you a little skittish.

We walk in and are greeted by a man called Tony and a woman named Pepper.

"Hello ." Peter says

"Who's the...girl?" Tony states looking towards me confused.

"This is Abbyreata. She was being held as slave and I got her out of there. If she doesn't want to come back with us. I was wondering if you had a place for her to stay awhile? She doesn't really have anyone." He looks over at me. "Unless you would like to stay with us?" He walks over and grabs my hands. "It's no trouble at all. I'm sorry for everything. If I would have known…" he trails off.

I place me hand on his cheek. "Peter, how could you have know? We haven't been together in years. I will be forever grateful for you rescuing me. But I think I do need to start over. Somewhere new." I look over to Tony and Pepper. "If you don't mind I would need a place a stay. Until I get a place of my own. I am more than willing to work off any debt I owe for letting me stay."

"Nonsense!" Pepper states. "You are more than welcome to stay. No need to work or repay us." She smiles. As she is talking a few people walk in. Two men and a woman with dark red hair. They all look as though they have just come from a battle. The one man has a quiver of arrows on his back and a bow. The other. Wow. He is not the first human I have seen that looks good. I mean, Peter sure is good looking. But this one is….Amazing. He is wearing a red, white, and blue suit. His shield of the same colors. He takes off his helmet and I can see more of his face. He is covered in dirt and blood but looks fine considering. I look up at him when our eyes meet. He stops suddenly causing the woman to almost walk into him.

"What's the deal Cap?" She states. He looks taken aback and sets his shield down.

"Nothing. Um..looks like we have visitors." He says looking back at me with a slight grin on his face. Ok well that grin sure does something to me. I smile back and he walks over.

"Hey Cap. This is Abbyreata. She is Krylorian. You know Peter. He rescued her and she will be staying with us for awhile." Tony states.

"Hello. I'm Steve Rogers. It's nice to meet you. I hope to get to know you better while your here." He says to me while extending a hand.

I'm not sure why but when he extends his hand I flinch back. I guess subconsciously I was expecting a slap. He looks a little hurt by my actions.

"Um yeah, Abby was held a slave for the last year. She is a little skittish." Peters states, he rubs my back a little in support. Damn. I need to get over this fear.

When I look at Steve, his eyes look sad. For me? I'm not sure.

"I am so sorry Abbyreata, I promise I mean you no harm." He smiles

"No I'm sorry. It's hard to get used to people being nice. Please call me Abby. It's very nice to meet you Steve." I smile and extend my hand. He takes it and instead of shaking it, he brings my hand to his lips and places a kiss to my knuckles. He smiles again and I think I might combust. This man is amazing.

"I hope to see you around, Abby" he says and turns to talk some more to Tony, they start to head out of the room when he glances back and waves at me before leaving.

I look over towards Peter who was talking to the man with the bow. When he smirks at me.

"What?" I say. He is so exasperating sometimes.

"Hhmmm...nothing. Except I don't think I have to worry about you. You seem to have already found a friend." He says with a wink.

"Um yes. A friend. What's wrong with that?" I say. Is he implying something?

"Nothing." He smiles "Just that Cap sure seemed taken with you. He thinks your hot!"

"Peter. Shut it." I warn. But I smile still. "I'm sure he was just being nice. Plus he most likely has never seen a Kry before. He was just... curious."

"Ha! Yeah really curious. He wants in your pants." He says a little loudly.

"Peter! You are such a….you know this is why we broke up." I say

"Because, I'm so handsome you couldn't take it?" He says with a wink. He then pulls me in for a hug and kisses my head. "Listen, these people are really good people. You'll be safe. But if you need to talk or get out of here just call me ok." He looks down at me and then let's me go.

"Thanks Peter. For everything." I kiss him on the cheek and he waves and heads back to his ship.

I look back over to where Pepper is. She is talking to Tony and Steve who came back. Steve is glancing at me strangely. But he smiles. I smile back and head over to them.

End chapter note: So Abbyreata is my own character. She is not be confused with Bereet, who was on Peters ship in GOTG. In my mind Peter dated Abbyreata on and off before Bereet. Although they have not seen each other in years. I assume it is easy to fall back into a comfortable friendship between the two.I was hoping to make this chapter longer but I lost track of time and need to get my son to therapy. Please review!
