Coming Home

I don't own Digimon, Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers

"Ok. Is this thing working?" Rocket asked as he sat at the table in the Milano holding up a datapad, he pressed a button and grinned. "Alright, so this is going to be a recap of the last few months. Boy it's been crazy, first it began with Groot and I on Xandar, just doing our thing searching for bounties to collect. Laughing at how stupid the Xandarians looked or acted, then we came across some girl named Daisuke Motomiya aka Star Princess and her partner Veemon, now him being a very rare species would collect a nice amount of credits for yours truly. But as usual, things never go according to plan, by the time we made our move some other guy was already attacking them. Groot didn't help things when he grabbed the wrong guy. But then we ended up getting busted by the Nova Corps and taken to the Kyln. Of course, I had a plan to break out, and without my brilliant plan we'd all still be stuck there rotting away while a guy named Ronan took over the galaxy."

"Whoa! Wait a sec, your brilliant plan?" Veemon asked as he grabbed the datapad. "I seem to recall you having me and Daisuke go after a guy's fake leg for a laugh. He wanted 30,000 units before he would give it to us. And add to the fact you wanted to give the Orb which contained an infinity Stone to Ronan once we saw what could happen if someone used it."

"Hey, I came around in the end didn't I?" Rocket asked the Digimon as Baby Groot who was slowly regenerating so he was only tall enough to reach Veemon's knee climbed onto the table and both looked at him.

"I am Groot," he said.

"So what if it took Daisuke and Sylar getting captured by the Ravagers for me to come around?" Rocket asked him.

"I am Groot," he answered.

"Ok, I didn't come around right away," Rocket grumbled.

"Yeah, you wanted to get to the other side of the galaxy hoping that Ronan wouldn't get to you before you died." Veemon said. "But in the end, we worked together and kicked Ronan's ass, and as a plus we got our criminal records expunged and became the Guardians of the Galaxy."

"I still think we should be called something cooler," Rocket said.

"Oh what would you have us be called then? Rocket's Renegades?" Veemon asked.

"I am Groot." Baby Groot said.

"How could you not like that one?" Rocket asked his friend in shock.

"I am Groot."

"Because it isn't fair renaming us without consulting the others?" Rocket asked before the three were knocked off their feet as the Milano was hit and sparks began flying from a nearby panel

"Oh right, we forget we're in the middle of a space battle," Veemon groaned holding his head, Rocket rushed over to the panel and tried to repair the damage before it sparked burning his hand.

"Ow! Daisuke, we've got a problem!" he shouted upstairs.

"Tell me about it, we're being attacked by more Kree fanatics who supported Ronan that are really mad we killed him!" Daisuke shouted as she flew the Milano through space dodging weapons fire from several Kree ships.

"I know that, but the left engine took a hit, I don't think it'll take much more before it blows!" Rocket shouted as the panel sparked again.

"We're gonna have to hope that it holds until we can deal with these guys," Daisuke replied turning the Milano around and firing at one Kree fighter blowing it up. "That's one down." She said before the Milano was hit from behind and the left engine began sputtering.

"That doesn't sound good," Sylar said.

"Sylar head downstairs and try to help Rocket as best you can alright?" Daisuke asked him and he nodded and jumped out of his seat and ran down the stairs to the lower level of the Milano. "Alright you assholes, come and get me," she said flying off with the fanatics chasing after her.

"Are you sure this is wise Star Princess, why are we not simply killing the Kree?" Drax asked her.

"Because these guys are making it difficult, they're in faster and more nimble ships then we are so they can get out of the way before I can get a lock on them," she answered as the Milano was hit again and several alerts came up on the screen in front of her. "Rocket, how's the repairs coming?" she asked.

"They're good, well as good as they can be while we're being shot at every three seconds!" Rocket shouted as Sylar put out a fire that had started in another part of the Milano. "We can't take much more of this Daisuke!"

"I know!" Daisuke replied before taking a deep breath. "Come on just give me some room." She muttered before flying around another ship and avoiding some more weapon fire barely. "Let's hope the old girl can handle a jump so we can get out of here."

"Indeed, but first what is that?" Drax asked pointing to something ahead of them, Daisuke looked up and gulped.

"Crap it's a wormhole…wait this could work to our advantage. It'll take us far away where we can hopefully lie low for a while," she said.

"But couldn't it also take us to the far edge of the universe with no way to return?" Sylar asked as he and the others ran back up to the cockpit as he overheard what Daisuke said.

"We don't have much of a choice, trust me on this ok?" she asked with a smile and he nodded.

"Alright. Strap yourselves in!" Sylar shouted to the others sitting in the seat beside Daisuke with the others doing the same. The Milano rocked violently as the fanatics kept firing and hitting the ship. "Let's hope she holds," Sylar said.

"Don't worry she will." Daisuke reassured him as the Milano flew through the wormhole but not before the left engine was hit by another blast from one of the fanatic's ships causing it to explode. "Hold on to something!" she shouted as the wormhole closed behind them and the Guardians of the Galaxy were taken to another part of the galaxy through a tunnel of flashing rainbow lights.

"I am Groot," Baby Groot groaned as he held onto Veemon's head.

"Groot says he's gonna be sick," Rocket translated. "And so am I if these bright flashy colours don't stop soon."

"If you puke anywhere, you're cleaning it up," Veemon told them both holding onto Daisuke's chair to keep himself steady. The Milano flew out the other side of the wormhole and the team saw a planet in front of them.

"What planet is that?" Sylar asked. "And why is it so blue?" Veemon and Daisuke looked at the planet in shock before they smiled happily.

"It's Earth." Veemon answered.

"You mean the planet Yondu took you two from ten years ago?" Rocket asked as Baby Groot climbed onto Daisuke and sat on her shoulder to look at the planet.

"Yeah. I thought we'd never see it again," Daisuke answered with a gentle smile before alarms began blaring. "Hold on, we're going in for a rough landing." She shouted as the Milano began falling towards the planet. "Let's hope we don't crash into the ocean, we won't be able to repair the ship then."

"I am Groot," Baby Groot said holding onto Daisuke's shoulder.

"We'll be fine little guy, don't worry." She reassured him, the Milano passed through Earth's atmosphere with relative ease, thankfully it didn't break apart as Daisuke did the best she could to guide the ship into as soft a landing as she could manage. Everyone held on tight as the Milano slammed into the ground and skipped three times before it finally slid to a stop and everyone sighed in relief.

"Everyone ok?" Sylar asked the others as he stood up.

"We just crashed on a planet, but other than that we appear to be alive." Drax answered.

"Speak for yourself," Rocket groaned holding his head. "Nice landing."

"I did the best I could. Let's go outside and inspect the damage, and find out where we are," Daisuke said walking off with Veemon behind her and Rocket followed.

"I am Groot," Baby Groot said.

"You said it," Sylar replied. Daisuke, Rocket and Veemon climbed out of the Milano and began to inspect the damage.

"We're lucky this thing didn't fall to pieces when we crashed. Heck, we'll be lucky to even get her back into working condition on this planet." Rocket grumbled as the left wing of the Milano fell off hitting the ground with a thud. "Yeah, we're screwed."

"Don't be such a downer Rocket, I'm sure we'll be able to get the Milano fixed and leave before we get caught," Daisuke said looking through her binoculars at the surrounding area. "I don't see any towns nearby so that's good for keeping a low profile, though someone is sure to have seen us before we crashed." She mumbled to herself. Veemon stood on top of the Milano and looked around before he gasped as he saw a familiar sight.

"Daisuke, look over there!" he shouted and his partner did so with her binoculars and her eyes widened. "Is that what I think it is?"

"If you mean Willis' house then yes, it is what you think it is," Daisuke answered with a smile at seeing the house of one of her best friends and the other Wielder of the Golden Radiance.

"Who the heck is Willis?" Rocket asked looking at the Digimon and his partner. "Someone you knew before leaving?"

"Yeah. One of my best friends, and part of the American Digidestined, if he's nearby that means I might be able to see how the others are doing." Daisuke answered.

"Whoa, you sure that's a good idea?" Rocket asked her. "It's been ten years Daisuke; do you really think this Willis guy will remember you?"

"I'm not sure, but I can always hope. Veemon and I will go see if he's around. Rocket, you and the others stay here and try to keep out of site. Use that new cloaking technology you've been working on to hide the Milano." She answered and Rocket nodded and Daisuke walked towards the house with Veemon jumping off the ship and following her.

"It's been so long. I wonder how Willis, Terriermon and Lopmon are doing," Veemon said as they climbed over the fence.

"We'll soon find out." Daisuke replied. She walked up to the front door and knocked on it gently.

"Coming," a voice from inside said and the door opened and Daisuke smiled at the blonde haired and blue-eyed child of Destiny who looked at her with wide eyes. "Daisuke?" he whispered in shock.

"Hey Willis…" she began before being punched in the jaw by Willis and she looked at him. "I deserved that…for being gone for ten years."

"You're damn right. Where the hell have you been Daisuke? Everyone went looking for you once you went missing, we searched every corner of the Digital World and the real world and we couldn't find you. Everyone thought you were dead!" Willis shouted and Daisuke winced.

"I'm sorry I've been away so long Willis, I had a good reason." She said softly making Willis glare at her.

"It better be a very damn good reason as to why you went missing for ten years." He said.

"Who're you talking to Willis?" Daisuke and Veemon looked to see Terriermon and Lopmon walk over and they saw the Duo of Miracles and gasped. "Veemon!" they cheered tackling the dragon in a hug and they laughed happily.

"Where have you been? We've missed you," Lopmon said and Veemon smiled at both.

"Long story, how about we explain it to you guys?" he asked and they looked at Willis with pleading eyes and he sighed.

"Well…I guess so," he relented. "But you two better explain everything or I won't be happy." Daisuke nodded and turned back to where she knew the Milano was now hidden under the cloaking device and she nodded slightly before walking in with Veemon.

"Well this could have gone worse," Rocket said sitting in Daisuke's chair.

"How long until you can fix the Milano?" Sylar asked.

"A couple of hours, and that's only if we don't get caught," Rocket answered jumping out of the chair to get to work.

"I am Groot," Baby Groot said sitting on Drax's shoulder.

"Don't worry I'll be careful. Keep an eye out in case anyone comes this way," Rocket replied and the others nodded as he walked down to the lower level to begin repairing the damage.

Back inside Willis' house he and Daisuke were sitting at the table while Veemon, Terriermon and Lopmon ran around playing tag. "No way. You were abducted by aliens and you joined their crew?" Willis asked Daisuke who nodded.

"Yeah. The Ravagers are what we're called. And the leader is Yondu Udonta, he's sort of like a father to me and he treats me like a daughter. I drive him as crazy an actual daughter would." She answered. "So…um how are the others?"

"The Digidestined?" Willis asked and she nodded in confirmation. "They're all ok. They've accepted that you might never come back, but they all miss you."

"I never thought I'd be able to come back here Willis, that wormhole we fell through probably was the only reason we're on Earth right now." Daisuke told him softly and he nodded.

"I figured. So once your ship is repaired you'll leave?"

"We have to. We have a duty to protect the galaxy from those who would destroy it, like Thanos." Daisuke answered.

"Sounds like a tough person to fight if from all you've told me about him from what you've heard is anything to go by. But don't worry, I'm sure you and Veemon will be able to stop him if he tries anything." Willis replied with a smile and Daisuke nodded as Veemon sat in her lap.

"You know it, Daisuke and I are an unstoppable team. And with the other Guardians we're even stronger." He said and Daisuke giggled kissing her partner's head before she put her finger to her ear.

"What is it Rocket?" she asked.

"Daisuke, we got a problem." The racoon answered. Daisuke and Veemon looked out the window to see a car out the front and Willis noticed two around the back with several armed soldiers around them.

"Yeah I noticed. Who are these guys?" she asked closing the curtains before looking at Willis.

"I didn't call them. Nobody really comes here apart from my parents when they visit and the others come through the Digi-Port." He answered as someone knocked on the door.

"Willis take Terriermon and Lopmon and hide in your room ok?" Daisuke asked in a tone that left no room for argument, the blonde nodded and picked up his partners and ran off to his room. Daisuke pulled out one of her pistols and opened the door slightly. "This is private property, I suggest you leave now." She said.

"Daisuke Motomiya?" the man wearing a suit asked her.

"Who wants to know?" she asked as the man held up his ID.

"Special Agent Phil Coulson. Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." He said.

"That's a long name." Daisuke commented.

"I get that a lot. We go by SHIELD. I'd like to talk to you," Agent Coulson said.

"Sorry. I don't talk to people who have armed goons ready to shoot me in the back," Daisuke replied and Coulson nodded.

"Back off," he said into an earpiece and Daisuke looked behind her to see the men behind the house get back into their cars and drive off. "Now may we talk?" Daisuke looked at Veemon who nodded as he pulled out his blaster to show he was ready.

"Fine. But outside, this is my friend's house and I'd hate to get blood over the walls," Daisuke answered walking outside her pistol still in hand as Veemon joined her surprising the agent. "Now what is this about exactly? How did you know my name, and where I was?" she asked and Coulson took out some photographs and handed them to Daisuke who looked at them and saw that they were of her when she was eleven years old with the others on Christmas Eve when they fought the Digimon that were attacking Matt's concert.

"We've been watching you for some time Miss Motomiya, but strangely you vanished one night and we couldn't track you down." Coulson told her.

"Then how did you find me?" Daisuke asked.

"Well we got reports of something falling to Earth and once we tracked down where it landed we thought it might be you." Coulson answered.

"Wait, how do you think it would be Daisuke you weren't around where you saw us get taken away," Veemon told him.

"No. But we did manage to detect something leaving the planet that wasn't of this Earth, we thought about the possibility but we didn't want to put too much thought into it in case it was someone else." Coulson explained.

"So…what do you want with me now?" Daisuke asked him.

"We'd like you to work with us," he answered making Daisuke and her partner blink and share a look.

"Can you repeat that? I think I had something crazy in my ear," Veemon said making Daisuke giggle.

"From what we've heard from when we questioned your friends about you, you both were key in saving this world and what you call the Digital World. How would you feel about saving the world again?" Coulson asked them.

"And if we said yes would this mean we'd be working for SHIELD or would we just be helping you guys out?" Daisuke asked back as she noticed the others sneaking towards Coulson from behind.

"You'd only be working with SHIELD for as long as we need your help, once that is done you can leave Earth and we won't trouble you again," he answered honestly.

"I don't know, should we trust him?" Daisuke asked Veemon who smirked. "What do you think Drax, Sylar?" she asked as both held their blades against Coulson's neck and chest.

"One wrong move, and it will be your last," Drax threatened in a whisper.

"Now what is this we hear about us working with you humans?" Sylar asked with a smirk as Coulson gulped.

"Ok you two, let him go before he pisses himself," Daisuke told them with a smirk and they put their weapons away. "So why do you need our help?"

"I think it would be best if we explain this someplace more secure, my boss can explain everything there." Coulson answered regaining his composure.

"And if we refuse?" Rocket asked. "Will you capture us and lock us up?"

"Nothing like that. I don't think we'd be able to do that without casualties." The agent answered nervously as Baby Groot glared up at him.

"I am Groot," he said.

"He says if you're lying to us and hurt Daisuke he'll kill you," Rocket translated. "Wait why her and not me?" he asked his friend.

"I am Groot," he answered.

"What do you mean you see her as a mother you don't even know what a mother is," Rocket said making Daisuke giggle.

"Aw, thank you Groot." She cooed and he nodded with a smile and made a flower in his hand and held it up to her and she took it and smiled. "What do you guys think we should do?" she asked her friends.

"Let's go along with what he says for now. We can handle him if it turns out we were lied to," Sylar said with a smile. "So where do we go to meet your boss?" he asked.

"It would be best if I took you there." Coulson answered.

"Rocket is the Milano ready to fly at least across the planet?" Daisuke asked.

"Oh she'll fly, but only just, don't expect for her to see any action for a while," Rocket answered with a smile.

"Good. Come along Coulson you can show us the way in our ship," Daisuke said grabbing the agent and dragging him off to the Milano with the other Guardians following as Willis looked out the window at Daisuke as she left.

"Be safe Daisuke, I don't think I can stand losing you again." he thought.
