[ She shrugs. ]

I'm open to either option. [ And then, a smirk. ] But you're the boss, Quill. You tell me.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He flashes her a sour little look before nudging her with his shoulder. ]

I thought we were partners, Goto?

[stealwithit]

[ Her smirking persists, even as he nudges her. ]

We are, but I'm also an honorary member of your team, right? Besides, I kind of like it when you take charge.

[ Aaaand wink. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He huffs out a laugh, giving her another playful push even as he grins. ]

Hint more, why don't you?

[ He slides down to the ground, sitting beside Indy — temporarily, anyway, because soon after, Indy starts crawling into Peter's lap. ]

I think we've gotten a lot of community service tucked under our belts to last us a while. But, hey, this is a team thing. I'm open to second opinions.

[stealwithit]

[ It's Kasumi's turn to wear a fond smile on her face as she watches Indy snuggle up to Peter, even standing on his hind legs a little to nuzzle the human's face. Absentmindedly, she leans over on the bench, resting a hand on Peter's head and gently running her fingers through his hair. ]

So... What I'm hearing here is that you're itching to get into a bit of trouble, Star-Lord.

I think we can arrange for that.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He turns, grinning up at her, even as he holds Indy back from trying to lick his face off. ]

I always knew there was a reason you’re my favorite, Goto.

[stealwithit]

[ She looks down at him, both sweetly and a little mischievously. ]

We might as well make it a date, don't you think?

[ because what even are normal people dates ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ any date that doesn't include larceny is not a date worth having. ]

I mean, sure. Why not, right? While we're out on the town.

[stealwithit]

[ As if on cue, Indy gives a little bark, like he's asking, what about me? and Kasumi can't help but chuckle. ]

--I think someone wants to be a puppy-in-crime.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ he wrinkles his nose. ]

Yeah? Well, I think a certain someone still needs to figure out the whole house training thing before he can consider a life of crime.

[stealwithit]

[ Here it comes, Peter, an actual, literal Puppy Dog Pout™, complete with an actual puppy whine, as Kasumi just looks on, clapping a hand over her mouth, helplessly moved by the power of this dog. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter, it seems, has developed an immunity for Puppy Dog Pouts™, and rather than respond to it directly, he rests his hand on Indy’s head, keeping him in place, and turns to look up at Kasumi. ]

Man, you’re a pushover, Goto.

[stealwithit]

[ Voice still muffled by her hand, she says: ] Am not.

[ Except that she pretty much is, when it comes to Indy and his pouting. ]

Anyway, I guess the others can watch him while we run off and have our own fun for a bit. [ A beat. ] Do we trust the others to watch him while we run off and have our own fun for a bit?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Oof. Now there's a difficult question to answer. ]

... Maybe Drax or Gamora. Exclusively. Possibly Groot, as long as we give him strict instructions to keep the little guy away from Rocket's projects.

[stealwithit]

[ She taps on her chin thoughtfully. ]

Hmm... Yeah, I think I could roll with that. It could be a good team-building exercise for the rest of them, even.

[ She says it with a playful note; and though the Guardians already make a rather swell team, taking care of a pup is a whole different game. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ The thought makes Peter wince again, as he peers down at Indy. A thousand scenarios seem to run through his head as his eyes wander. ]

... On second thought, maybe we should take him.

[stealwithit]

[ Kasumi watches Peter's expression progress, and she can pretty much guess what's running through his mind as she does so. When he rescinds, she chuckles. ]

Probably, but maybe we should also wait until he's a little bit older, yeah? Maybe we can teach him to be all fierce.

... I wonder if Cosmo can impart some of his power to Indy, or something.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. ]

I'm not an expert or anything? But I'm entirely sure that's how his weird, psychic-dog powers work.

[stealwithit]

[ Man, she loves his laugh, and she can't help but smile when he does. ]

I bet he just has to put his paw on Indy's head. That's how it works. Like a Vulcan mind meld, only with psychic doggy powers.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He grins up at her, something boyish and bright and endlessly amused, and he rests his palm flat against his chest. ]

Holy shit. Look at you, referencing Star Trek.

I've never been so proud in my life.

[stealwithit]

[ She wipes a pretend tear from her eye. ]

Aw, shucks. I've worked my entire life for this moment, Peter. I'm so glad.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Solemnly, ] We should commemorate this occasion, somehow. A plaque or a medal or something.

[stealwithit]

[ Not-so-solemnly, ] Only if it's made out of solid gold.

Otherwise, dinner and dancing would do.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He pretends to consider this for a moment, then, ]

Yeah, I think we can probably arrange that, at some point.

[stealwithit]

[ She mirrors his expression, looking thoughtful for a moment. ]

--Or a present. A present is fine, too. Surprise me, even.
