A huge surprise

"Thank you for your help and concern." Bucky said as he was really grateful. The Guardians didn't reply that. Two humanoid robots came to take him away. John too followed him as he didn't have any other things to talk with the Guardians as he could always talk with them no matter where he was.

As they came out of the citadel John said

"Hey we can go and have something to eat first. I need to get some high energy food too from here."

"Sure. I too can see if there is any good places to eat in this futuristic place." Bucky said and looked at the robots.

"Hey I will send him to med bay. You both can leave." John said as these robots too were his summons basically. The two robots just left after John said that.

John and Bucky got into a canteen for the lanterns. It was a huge place where different lanterns gathered. Since all the lanterns were kind of new they were in awe of this place. Even though it was huge they were fewer lanterns as all the rings haven't chosen their wearer yet.

John and Bucky went to order and took their place in a lone table away from others. Even though both of them weren't wearing any rings nobody stopped them since every person present in this planet was related to the lanterns and the canteen wasn't exclusive to the lanterns. The food was served pretty fast and they looked delicious. John and Bucky who were little hungry dived in.

As they were eating John and Bucky they heard a voice saying.

"Hey how much for that metal arm?"

"Huh?" both moved their head to see who was talking and then a saw small furry creature looking at them. John was dumbfounded by seeing this new alien because he knew the alien very well.

Rocket.

Member of the Guardian of the Galaxy. One of the reasons John had come out into space was because of them. He didn't understand why Rocket was in Oa.

"Rocket. What the hell are you doing here? Where is Groot?" John asked.

"Huh? You know me? Who are you? Are we famous already? Or is it because of Groot?" Rocket asked.

"No. Rocket I know you because of other reasons. Why are you here?" John asked again.

"Ummm... Hello.. Sorry I don't know you so I can't say my reason." Rocket said. But John soon noticed a tree looking creature coming from behind. He was more astonished now.

It's not because he didn't know the new alien. It was Groot alright but he now looked totally different as he now had a green suit in his body. This meant that Groot was the new Green Lantern.

"Groot you are a new Green Lantern? What the hell is going on Rocket?" John asked.

"I am Groot... I am Groot." he replied.

"Well he says we were travelling to Xandar to collect when this ring showed up outside our ship. Then blah blah blah.. Me and Groot are here. Hey you moron you just spoke everything." Rocket said.

"So you mean the ring brought Groot here and you followed him?" John asked.

"Yes. The ring pointed the direction and I just came to join the fun. I was suspicious first but I have got to say I never imagined that such power existed in the universe. This planet looks so advanced. The so called Guardians must be really powerful to make this planet." Rocket said.

"What the hell is wrong with his world. First it was Emma and now Groot too." John murmured.

"John you know aliens too?" Bucky asked with curiosity.

"Yes" John replied.

"But I don't know you. Who are you?" Rocket asked.

"I am Groot?" Groot too said.

"Think of me as the same level of Guardian. I guided Oa and the Guardians here." John said nonchalantly.

"What? That's impossible. You guided a planet. What a good joke." Rocket said.

"It's upto you if you believe it or not. So Groot you must be training under Hal. Yes?" John asked.

"I am Groot."

"I will take that as a yes. He is the first Green Lantern here. Learn fast. You will need it." John said as he continued eating. Even though he was shaken, he accepted the facts.

"You are so weird. Even I just came to know the name of their trainer. Heard he is Terran like you. Are you both from the same planet?" Rocket asked.

"Yes. You can say so. He is my friend." John said.

"No wonder you are here. Came to meet Hal?" Rocket asked.

"No came to meet the Guardians and they owed me a favor." John said.

"What a bunch of lies. I need to stay away from a liar like you" Rocket said and left. John shrugged his shoulders as he saw both of them left.

"Why didn't you convince them?" Bucky asked.

"Seeing is believing. Our paths will cross soon in the future." John said.
