Running through a final pre-flight check, Peter made sure that the armory racks were squared away, that the weapons systems were locked to his console and then looked around the cabin. He tried to figure out if there was anything else he should secure before letting a group of Terrans, especially one that included a couple of teenage boys, onboard.

He wondered if there was anything that he was missing that Stakar would have noticed, then shrugged inwardly. Yondu had taught him to fly when he was ten. Sure he’d destroyed a small moon….. Kraglin had called it a glorified asteroid, on the edge of of the Andromeda galaxy when he was learning how to execute an evasion maneuver consisting of a barrel roll, followed by a three point turn that culminated in a full stop that Yondu had called the Drunken Kree. There was also the time that he’d been trying to clear out the plasma injectors and instead hit the biohazard recycling tank evacuation lever without first disengaging the external cover plate. The pressure had blown a main line and coated the entire cargo bay with hundreds of gallons of a greasy grey liquid that smelled like a combination of a truck stop bathroom and the kind of perfume his grandmother had once worn. Bet that’s when Taserface started hating my guts, Peter thought remembering that while his Daddy had yelled at him, called him a wretched little waste of oxygen…..Yondu had delegated the actual clean up to Taserface.

Peter appreciated the fact that the Benetar had a spot on the roof of Avengers tower, taking a bunch of people up in space sounded fun. Driving them all the way to upstate New York sounded like hell.

He opened the main hatch, extended the ramp and wondered if they had barf bags on board….. he vaguely remembered something about airplanes having them and wondered if other Terrans ever got spacesick. “Eh, it’ll be fine.” He made his way down the ramp, trying to decide what kind of music you played for someone’s first trip to space.

Ned was on the roof so fast his gym teacher would not believe he was the same kid who often asked to sit out during soccer and contact sports. He was out of breath as he showed up, though, with his backpack and a blue bucket hat he thought would match being in outer space.

He opened his mouth and stopped short of saying 'Mr. Star-Lord'. Instead he shouted "Quill! Hi! I'm Ned." He waved even though he was right there in front of the way-too-cool looking guy. "Thank you so much for bringing me to space. I've never been. The closest thing was watching Peter fly into space on the outside of a space ship and that was pretty terrifying.

	“Hey, glad you could make it!”, Peter paused and said, “Legit.... first rule of safe space flight.” He pointed to the outside of the ship, “Outside. Note. No seats.” He grinned, “Inside. Better seating and oxygen. Parker is straight up gangster for that move.” “You know Gamora, right?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey Ned," Gamora walked up to the ship, trying to hide her grin at how excited he looked to be seeing a real life spaceship. "The Benatar is gorgeous, isn't she? Wait until we get her up in the sky." "Hey you," she slid an arm around Peter's waist, giving him a quick kiss. "You know I'm 100% leaving you when this guy is legal, right?"

Peter wasn’t as visibly excited as Ned - he’d been to space before, and he’d died there - but he wasn’t about to let his best friend go alone. Exposure therapy was a thing, right? And besides, this would likely be a much more positive experience given that there wasn’t a genocidal alien on the loose. Peter had his web-shooters strapped on beneath the sleeves of his hoodie just in case.

"Hey guys," Peter greeted, stepping in behind Ned and grinning at his enthusiasm. "I gotta say...this is a lot cooler than the last spaceship I was in." And it was; the alien Tony had dubbed Squidward’s aircraft was cold and informal, but this almost looked like a home.

	"Thanks! The Benetar is one of the Ravagers faster ships for taking off. The Elector class is like making a pregnant walrus achieve flight." Peter continued to flip switches, check levels and then called out, "Everyone buckled up?" "Shuri, wanna go to the dark side of the moon?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She couldn't stop grinning and was half convinced her cheeks would hurt later on. "I would love to visit the dark side of the moon." She had her GoPro ready, secure in a leather case which had a strap she wore diagonally across her chest. "Tell me about the engine, please. What is the fuel? How often do you need to refuel?"
