Peter Quill and Gamora. Son of Ego and daughter of Thanos.
"At least their story has started. I guess Peter did go to Morag to get the power stone. Nice. This is my stage to shine and improvise."
As they were fighting John saw another known acquaintance and this one surprised him a lot. It was Rocket. John walked upto him and him from behind and asked
"Where is Groot? Is his training over so fast?"
"Where they hell did you come from? I thought you were a Terran." Rocket said as his jumped on his feet since John approached him silently.
"I am Terran and I am also a citizen of the Nova Empire now." John replied.
"That's good. Well great liar, Groot is still training. The Guardians didn't like unknown people nosing in their business so they kicked the extras out. There were few of us anyways. Came to be fish in troubled waters but seeing these two stupid people fighting it out I would rather not join."
"Agreed. They both are stupid. Now the Nova Corps have already arrived. I wonder if they will survive in jail."
"So why are you here, O great liar." Rocket asked.
"I have a company here so I am just to look over it. I will return to home planet after I deal with someone." John said. "Do you want to come over to my home? Since we are both friends of lanterns I am sure we have many things in common."
"Umm sure.. Will save my hotel money." Rocket said. He believed John wasn't malicious as he was really friend of lanterns and he had met him before.
John and Rocket went back to his villa. Now Rocket was surprised as he saw a huge mansion. He never expected John to be so rich that he lived in such a posh area in Xandar.
"Dear Lord. Seems like you are rich."
"That is relative. Money doesn't really matter to me."
"Only rich people says those philosophical words. If you don't care about money you can give it to me..." Rocket said.
As they were talking Lex and Victor returned. Rocket after seeing Victor was more surprised as he had never seen such a cyborg in his life. He himself is a product of genetic and cybernetic experiment but he had never seen someone like Victor.
"What kind of horrible experiment did they do to you?" Rocket asked after he got introduced to Lex and Victor. Rocket thought Victor was was result of experimentation due to him.
"Well I was experimented on but I was dying. My father used an alien technology which he had no idea about. Due to that I survived at least." Victor replied. Rocket was fascinated by Victor and started asking questions of his cybernetics paying no heed to Victor's privacy.
Though Victor found it weird but from his scanning he knew that Rocket too was a experiment and a horrible one at that, so he answered patiently. Lex on the other hand was least interested in this conversation and said to John instead
"We had a meeting today. The Nova Prime looked really stressed with Ronan. He just annihilated an entire planet leaving none. Not even the children." Lex had disgust in his face. Even though in his life he had been a villain and never really cared about human life but even he had a bottom line.
"Hmm. Tell Nova Prime that I can solve her problem of Ronan on two conditions." John said.
"Huh you want to deal with Ronan? Are you sure that would be profitable?" Lex asked.
"Yes. Kree has grown way too arrogant. I went through their recent expansion. Skrulls weren't enough. Now they want Nova too."
"Ok I will pass on the information and your question of conditions." Lex said as he opened his mobile to talk with Nova Prime.
"Wait. Nova Prime? You know the Nova Prime? Why the hell is Nova Prime involved with you?" Rocket asked. He believed that John knew Nova Prime as for a Terran it was almost impossible to buy a house here without the help of Empire but he didn't expect it was the Nova Prime.
"Didn't I tell you I have a company here. The company is special so Nova Prime is dealing with it personally." John said.
"No wonder you can get a home here. But you said you are going to deal with Ronan. Are you going to call for the help of your friend? No offense but it will still be hard for a single lantern to deal with him. He has an army and a spaceship." Rocket said.
"I never said my only friend is a green lantern." John said with a smile.
"Victor. Barry will arrive here tomorrow. Register him into the citizenship of the Nova Empire. Actually you know what register every one of my friend as the highest level into the citizenship. You never know when it will be required." John said as he wanted his friends to be known to the empire in case something happens in the future.
