IT ALL BEGAN IN THE HOSPITAL OF 1988.

Peter Quill and Lexi Cole were both at the hospital for different reasons. While Peter was visiting his mother, Lexi was here because of her father.

The two, in that situation, were quite similar. When Lexi was born, her mother died at birth, leaving her in the hand of her ill father. Just at a delicate age of seven, her father was dying. And quick.

She sat in her father's room, her small hand engulfed his large but bony one. Her wine-red hair fell down the sides of her porcelain face in a curtain fashion. She had been there for a few hours now, doing nothing but listening to the clock on the wall tick.

A few doctor's filtered in and out, but it was a quiet night other than their visits.

Her eyes were about to shut again, as she wanted to go to sleep, until a scream from a boy rang out, scaring her awake. Lexi slipped her hand from her fathers before jumping off the uncomfortable chair and racing into the hallway.

Lexi watched with curious eyes as a boy ran away from something, his knapsack swaying with his body. Glancing back into the room at her father, she pursed her lips. Making up her mind quickly, she took off after the boy to see what happened, and where he was going, more specifically.

Once the boy was out the front doors of the hospital, Lexi's curiosity spiked, prompting her to run faster to catch the boy.

With her small arms, she pushed the door open, the night welcoming her with a body of heavy fog. Looking around, Lexi managed to spot him running through the field straight ahead, making her take off again.

After Lexi made it through the cloud of fog, she saw the boy collapsed to his knees, loud sobs echoing into the night. She halted to a stop behind him, unsure of how to approach him.

A small moment passed and Lexi finally took a step towards him. Her hand reached out, only inches away from his shoulder.

Suddenly, a blinding white light shone over them, making them both look up towards it to find its source and let out a terrified scream.

Nearly twenty-six years later, they were as close as two could be. Lexi loved the galaxy life with her friends; Rocket, Drax, Peter, Gamora, and especially Groot. Groot always managed to make her smile on her bad days.

Although the 'hero' life was something that she didn't prefer, Lexi's heart warmed greatly once they returned the Infinity Stone to the Nova Corps. She found physical peace now knowing that Ronan was gone, and the quadrant was safe.

Little did they all know what the future has in store for them...
