Chapter 282: Ego

"I am Groot."

"You are one to say Groot. You yourself are a freak." Damian replied.

"You understand the language of Groot?" Rocket asked now surprised.

"Took me a day to understand as I went through the language. A good teammate should know how to communicate." Damian spoke in a serious tone. Quill who had been with Groot for such a long time felt ashamed as he still couldn't understand neither could the other teammates.

After securing the batteries they went to the head of the Sovereign Race, Ayesha to get their reward.

Nebula and money.

And since John had warned them specifically not to steal the batteries, they didn't. Nightwing made sure of that. They all took Nebula who was in cuffs to FOA and flew away. The Sovereign Race didn't come after them.

On the other hand, the secret of Yondu that he had done child trafficking before didn't come out so he was still a Ravager as opposed to the original story. Thus the Ravagers weren't actually hunting for Quill.

Nebula was put into the prison that was made in the ship. FOA had all facilities and even had a prison cell.

"Let's take a rest until our next bounty. Groot keep an eye on your lantern." Rocket said.

"I am Groot."

Everybody agreed to it and thus they went to an unknown planet which wasn't inhabited by intelligent species. They all were in a happy mood as they were paid handsomely too to kill Abilisk.

They brought out food from FOA and placed it outside and were having a good time when suddenly a huge oval white colored spaceship appeared. Everybody got serious as it was an unknown spaceship. Raven used her magic to look inside. She saw two people, one living and another an empty shell.

At that moment, she realized that Peter's father was here.

"Quill, your father is here. Whatever John said is coming true." Raven said.

"My father? You mean Ego? He really did come for me as John had said." Quill mumbled.

"Quill, you better act normal and fake your knowledge, if you want to do an in-depth investigation. Don't get emotional." Rocket reminded him. As that was the plan after they left that barren planet where John narrated the story of Ego.

They decided that if Ego ever comes in future Peter would act ignorant and find out after they reach Ego's planet what John said was true or not. The Teen Titans too would cooperate with them as that was their mission.

To kill Ego.

"I understand." Quill said.

And the story went exactly like it should have. Ego introduced himself as his father and talked normally. Peter also acted normal, even though he would love to ask about his mother from his dad but he refrained as it wasn't the right time.

Ego then spoke of his heritage and him being a Celestial. And then later he took all of them to his planet where he lived alone. Since they had the FOA with them everybody went with Ego as opposed to the last time where the Milano was seriously damaged.

As they went to the planet they saw the majesty of it. Breathtaking landscapes, blue clear water and everything. The planet looked as if it was made of fantasy. Everything was under the control of Ego.

As more time went by more Quill felt that whatever John had said was correct. Later at night, the Teen Titans went out to search for the brain of Ego. Raven was responsible for shielding the detection of Ego with her magic.

They came back late at night saying that they had found the outer shell of the Ego's brain at the core of the planet and on their way they had found many skeletons of different alien species.

"Peter, we need to move quickly, if what John said is remotely true, we have a problem." Gamora said.

"I know, I just want him to admit that he killed my mother. Then I myself will blast him away." Quill said now with anger in his tone.

"But how will you make him acknowledge that?" Rocket asked.

"He has a god complex. Beings like him see everything beneath him as flies. So he will admit it. I will take out his words while you can start the assault." Quill said.

"Agreed. You will be able to occupy him as we blast him. You all should have space gear, because the collapse of his brain will kill him and take everything with us." Damian said.

And thus the next day Quill started talking with his father, occupying his attention while the team of Teen Titans went to the same place where they found the brain of Ego.

"Time to release a God." Garfield said.

"Father, now it's time for you to shine." Raven said as she brought out the red crystal where Trigon was held.
