Summary
     Being freed was something Yondu Udonta never thought to accomplish
     but then again neither was seeing another Centaurian.
Notes
     Yes reader is a pure blood centaurian but in my story females have
     red hair instead of crests. Just can't see myself as bald.
***** Chapter 1 *****
He had done it again. He had defied an order and because of that he was being
punished. With his hands chained above his head and a muzzle around his mouth
he waited for the next lash. When the thin whip landed against his back he
muffled a scream, his back arching of it's own will. Dropping his head back
down he felt the collar cut into his neck. Looking down at the floor he saw a
small purple puddle of his blood among the dark metal floor. Six more lashes
came before they left him there on the verge of unconsciousness. His bare feet
slid in the blood as he tried to hold himself up. His arms were already sore
and who knew how long they would let him hang here. Shaking he lost his footing
and groaned as his weight pulled on his shoulders. He couldn't do it, he was
too weak from the whipping. As his sight of the bare metal wall became fuzzy he
heard yelling then gunfire. With all his remaining strength he lifted his head
as the sounds got closer. When the door was opened he heard a small gasp and
then a thud. Looking at the wall in front of him he saw a woman with black hair
and light skin fighting a kree. She looked like she had it until another came
from behind. Wrapping his hands around the chains he lifted his body enough to
swing himself forward and wrap his feet around the kree's head. Placing his
feet just right he grunted twisted his feet, breaking the Kree's neck. Out of
breath and energy he dropped his legs back down and felt someone touch his
cheek. Trying to focus his eyes he looked into green eyes. There was a yell of
a deep voice and then a man was standing beside the woman. He too had pale skin
and black hair. Yondu watched them exchange a look before everything went
black.
................................
Voices, he heard voices. He was laying on his stomach on something soft. He
tried to focus but it felt like the room was spinning. His eyes fluttered open
and then shut back quickly at the brightness of the room. The voices. He
couldn't understand what they were saying but he knew they weren't kree.
Something pressed at his back, a cold something, it burned. Trying to move away
he was quickly pinned down. Opening his eyes again he looked around the bright
room and saw people walking around, but he could only see the from the legs
down dressed in dark blue clothing. Feeling that burning on his back again he
hissed and tried to fight his way out of their hold. Being pinned down he
thrashed and pulled but it was no good. He heard them talking but when he
looked around again he caught sight of a figure standing outside of the door on
the other side of the room. 
Locked onto the blue figure he still thrashed but not as hard. His gaze never
left it, her. Bright red eyes looked into his own, matching her hair. Her skin
the same color as his own. She stood halfway behind the door but looked over at
him with concern on her face. When something sharp stung his neck he felt his
body go limp and watched as she disappeared behind his heavy eyelids. 
..............................
When Yondu came to once again he was laying on his back in the soft bed. The
chains once around his wrists had been replaced with white bandages. A dark
blue blanket was thrown over his lower half and some sort of line was in the
crook of his arm. Looking around he dimly lit room he saw nothing but a monitor
of sorts with numbers and a moving line on it. There was no one in sight but
the door to the room was partially opened and there was a light coming from the
hall way outside. When he pushed himself to get up he hissed out at the burning
on his back. He felt dizzy still and weak but his fight to escape this place
fueled him. Growling when the line on his arm tugged tight he went to rip the
thing out but was stopped by a hand gently touching his arm. Acting quickly he
grabbed the person's wrist and turned to growl at them. Freezing he looked up
and the blue limb and saw her. 
She said nothing only looked into his eyes with her own bright red ones. Fear
was clear in them but there was also curiosity. Not yet letting go he looked to
her feet. She wore no shoes and he saw black nails the same as his at the tips
of her toes. Scanning his eyes up her short stature he saw she wore black loose
fitting pants and a black short sleeved shirt. Seeing the barely visible mounds
on her chest beneath the baggy shirt he tightened his jaw. His eyes traveled up
her neck that for some unknown reason made his mouth water. Finally focusing on
her face he saw the darker blue lips formed in a straight line and the
cascading red hair the same color as her eyes. Glancing at her wrist he
loosened his grip and watched as she snapped her hand away from him. 
...........................
Looking over the male you saw the bandages that were wrapped around his middle
and wrists. He had the same blue skin as your own only his showed the curved
markings a darker shade of blue than his skin. Pointed ears stood on either
side of his head but were you knew once stood a crest now only held a large
scar. Your heart beat faster in your chest at the knowledge of it being
removed. Without knowing your hand moved out towards the bare scalp, touching
the raised skin with your fingertips you were soon shoved away from him and
fell to the floor. Looking up you saw him snarling at you with sharp and broken
teeth. Becoming afraid you shrunk inward but bared your own teeth and hissed at
him. 
The two of you held each others glare for a time. No matter how much you wanted
to look down you wouldn't. You wouldn't submit. When he growled low in his
throat you shrunk inward and began to dip your head only to hear a noise from
outside. Snapping your head to the hallway you saw a shadow on the meal floor.
Someone was coming. Quickly glancing at the male you stood and leaped up into
the open vent, shutting it just in time for the night doctor to enter. 
..........................
When the girl was gone Yondu looked to see another male enter. Tensing the male
looked up to see him awake and gave him a smile. Looking up at the vent he saw
the bight red eyes glowing from the darkness and then watched them disappear. 
"You are awake. That is good..." 
Snapping his eyes back to the male Yondu felt his lip lift into a snarl but
only watched the male hold up his hands and give a warm smile. 
"It's alright. No one is going to harm you here. I'm the doctor on board, tell
me are you hurting anywhere?"
.......................
It had been five days since Yondu had been freed. Another male, the one from
the cell had come in to see him along with the woman that had been fighting the
kree. They had told him how he was free now and that they would wait until he
was healed before they either dropped him off someplace safe or allowed him to
join their team. The man he had come to know as Stakar Ogord was the leader of
the group known as the Ravagers. He had told Yondu how he was grateful for him
saving his wife, Aleta's life that day. When he was finally able to leave the
med -bay as they called it he had been given a dark blue almost black uniform
before being led around the ship on a tour by Captain Stakar. 
He stayed silent for most of the while, listening to what the man said about
this and that. Stakar told him about the code and how the Ravagers worked. He
was told about the many jobs he could take on to slowly work his way up in the
ranks. It was strange to him, being able to walk freely and have a choice. When
they came to a large room known as the main hall he saw many people eating and
talking around at the long tables. Following Stakar through the line he was
given a tray and allowed to pick items of food from a long bar. When they got
to the end Stakar nodded at the large four armed male and explained to Yondu
how if he joined he would have to pay for his meals. 
When they got to a table at he front of the room he saw Aleta sitting there
along with a few others, including a male made of diamonds. Nodding his head to
them when Stakar introduced him he sat beside a large male with brown skin.
Eating his meal quickly he saw Stakar looking up at him from his own food. 
"Ain't nobody gonna take it from ya Yondu." Stakar said with a smile. Watching
the young man slow down and take a breath Stakar saw Martinex raised his head.
"So Yondu will you be joining our little group?"
Quickly looking up Yondu swallowed what food was in his mouth. "Not so
little..." he started and saw everyone give a chuckle. "I have nothin' else
goin' fer me. So yea." he said and watched everyone smile.
"Then welcome aboard Officer Yondu Udonta." Stakar said with two pumps to his
chest.
.....................
Through out he rest of the day he was led around by Aleta while Stakar went to
work. He was show the different jobs along the way that he could choose to take
on and given a bunk and a locker with two other uniforms in it. They stopped at
many places and throughout the whole day he had not seen the blue female
anywhere. She never seemed to leave his mind and he had begun to think he had
only imagined her. At the end of the day they had made there way back to his
bunk and he had been given his first job for tomorrow. 
"This here is a halo pad. You can look to see where you are scheduled to work
that day and there is even a map of the ship on it so you won't get lost. It is
yours to do whatever you might like on it so explore and learn." Aleta said as
he opened the number to the two person bunk room. Seeing the other person
inside she smiled, "Ah Tullk. This here is your new room mate. Yondu Udonta." 
Watching the pale male walk over to him Yondu nodded and saw the male give a
small grin and nod back. 
"Tullk is one of our best pilots and top fighters. Good person for you to learn
from." Aleta said. "Well might want to get some sleep Udonta, big day tomorrow.
Any questions you got for me before I leave?"
This was his chance.. "One actually... Ya got any other Centaurians on board?"
he asked and saw Aleta's eyebrows raise. 
"What makes you ask?" Aleta said.
"Just thought I saw one... a girl when I was in the med bay..." hearing
laughing he turned to see Tullk smiling largely and looking at Aleta.
"Told ya the wee lass was gonna find a way in there." he said. 
So she was real and she was as he suspected, a Centaurian female. Looking to
Aleta he saw her glaring at Tullk. 
Shaking her head Aleta looked back to Yondu. "Yes Yondu there is one other. Now
if you excuse me I have a girl to find."
Watching her walk away Yondu furrowed his brows, he hadn't meant to get the
girl in trouble. Feeling smack on his shoulder he looked over to Tullk. 
"Don't worry lad, Stakar won't put it on the lassie too hard. Not his little
gem." Tullk told him. 
Nodding Yondu looked to the empty bed and moved towards it. The room was a
decent size, larger than any cell or cage he was used to. There were two beds
and a large dresser between them. He could see some of Tullk's things on his
side but he didn't mind, not like he had anything. Laying on the bed he did
what Aleta had told him and tried to sleep.
 
***** Chapter 2 *****
Lifting the last of the crates onto the small ship Yondu gave a sigh and looked
at the finished job. So far this month he had helped out on different tasks,
showing his skills and learning new ones. Most of the crew were pleasant
enough, he tended to keep around Tullk but had gotten closer with Charlie
also. 
"Alright Udonta that's it for the day." Ber'lk told him in his deep voice. 
Nodding Yondu headed towards the mess hall to grab a bite to eat. Going through
line he picked out a few item and then grabbed a bottle of this sweet but tangy
juice he had tried a few days ago. Looking around the room he heard his name
being called and looked over to see Tullk, Chee and a scaly fellow he thoughts
name was Swok waving him over. Walking over to them he sat down beside Chee and
unwrapped his food. They kept a normal conversation going for a while until
Tullk looked up and furrowed his brows at something behind Yondu. The male held
his cup to his lips but was zoned in on something. "Tullk whatcha' lookin'..."
"Give me my projector you little bitch!" 
Hearing the voice Yondu turned to see what was going on. It wasn't uncommon for
little brawls to happen on the ship and he was expecting to see two of the crew
nose to nose but this wasn't the case. Standing by the line was the Centaurian
female. She wasn't saying anything towards the yelling male nor did she seem to
pay him any attention as she grabbed her tray. The male was a large grey fellow
with three eyes and four arms, at least a foot or more taller than her and
three times as wide. He stood close to her, obviously trying to intimidate her.
When she lifted her tray and moved to go find a seat he hit the tray out of her
hands and Yondu watched as his skin turned a darker color. 
"Where is it!?" The male yelled. 
Again the girl said nothing and only bent down to grab the bottle of drink from
the floor before trying to walk past him. Before anyone could move the male had
wrapped his hand around the girl's hair and lifted her from the floor. When the
males middle eye turned from black to white Tullk was already moving forward.
As soon as Yondu heard her small cry of pain he tensed up and went to go help
her but then a loud yell filled the room. 
"KOLF!" 
Snapping his eyes to the door Yondu saw Stakar standing there with a deep glare
on his face. 
"Let her go!" Stakar yelled. 
"Not before the little theif returns my projector!" Kolf growled. 
"I'd let the lass go Kolf." Tullk said from beside him, now holding a blaster
up and aiming at the males head. 
Seeing this Kolf lifted his lip but tossed the female to the side. "That
Centaurian scum won't return my projector..."
"Has he paid you y/n?" Stakar asked the girl that Tullk was now helping up from
the floor. Seeing her shake her head Stakar looked back towards Kolf. "Seems
she has a right to not return it..."
"I told her I'd pay her after the next job!" Kolf snarled but was cut off by
Stakar holding up his hand.
"She does a job for you you pay her, it's that simple!" Stakar yelled. Looking
to y/n he held out his hand and watched as she came forth and placed the small
sphere in his waiting hand. 
When Stakar dropped the ball looking thing to the floor and crushed it beneath
his foot Yondu's eyes went wide.
"This your tray y/n?" Stakar asked as he nodded to the tray and food on the
floor. When y/n again nodded he looked to Kolf. "Go ahead and go get you
another tray, Kolf here is going to pay for your lunch today... ain't that
right Kolf."
Yondu smirked as the male only frowned but gave a 'yes captain'. After that
everything seemed to calm down. The male known as Kolf had left the mess hall
with a growl and a hard glare at the female. Yondu watched as Stakar led the
female he now knew as y/n to the front of the line with him and grabbed her a
tray of food, making sure it was put on Kolf's account. He watched from his
seat as Stakar spoke to y/n in a soft and kind looking voice before nodding at
her and letting Tullk lead her away. When Yondu noticed Tullk leading her over
to their table he stiffened and rubbed his mouth to make sure there was no food
on it. When she sat down between Tullk and Swok he swallowed hard. She paid
none of them mind as she went about eating her food. He grinned slightly when
he noticed her eating some of the same food he was. With a closer glance at her
he noticed she was small, had to be only five foot in height. Her features were
soft and when her head was dipped down he could see the tips of her hears
sticking out of her hair. 
Tullk sat sipping at his drink and watching with a smirk as Yondu stared at the
girl. Y/n had even looked up at the male of her race since they sat down and a
idea popped into his head just as Yondu met his gaze. "Yondu lad, don't think
ya ave' been properly introduced to our dear tinker." 
Freezing Yondu looked to Tullk before snapping his eyes back to y/n to see her
looking at him with her bright red eyes. 
"Ever need anything fixed ya care it ta' er'. She's a little firecracker but
don't worry Yondu y/n don't bite... too hard." Tullk said with a smirk. 
Hearing Tullk's words you quickly snapped your attention to him and cut your
eyes at him. Seeing him smirking you stuck out your tongue making him laugh. 
"Baby you can bite me all you want." Chee said with a shake of his brows.
Looking at the green male you scrunched up your nose and made a gagging sound
before standing and leaving the room.
"Oh come on beautiful..." Chee called but she didn't stop. "That's okay you'll
come around one day..." 
"Give it up Chee, lass ain't ever gonna want you as a mate." Tullk said with a
shake of his head. 
"We ain't gotta be mates. Just give me one night, promise ya she wouldn't be
walkin' right the next day." 
Hearing the males words Yondu tightened his jaw and felt an unfamiliar feeling
bubble in his stomach. Standing he grabbed his tray and quickly left the room.
Looking down the halls he didn't see y/n anywhere and dropped his shoulders.
Sighing he headed towards the showers, maybe the hot water would help him
relax. 
.........................
Later that night he was sitting on the bed looking over his halo pad. It shamed
him to admit but he didn't have much to any knowledge on his race. From what he
could find, which wasn't much, the Centaurians were all but extinct. Centuri
had been destroyed years ago and much of the people had been killed. Hearing
the door open he looked up to see Tullk coming in. 
"There ya are, wondered where ya ad' gotten off to. Ya left in a hurry." Tullk
said as he placed his stuff in the top drawer of the dresser and moved to lay
back on his bed. 
"Yea. Won't really up fer' Chee's mouth." Yondu said, swallowing down the growl
when he recalled what the male had said about y/n.
Picking up on the growl Tullk looked at his lap and smiled. "Don't let it
bother you too much lad, I can promise ya the lassie sees nothing in him."
Hearing his words Yondu looked over and went to object but he only laughed.
"Don't even try it lad. I've been around a long time and I know what it looks
like when a male Centurian lays claim over a female."
"I don't know anything about er'." Yondu said after a moment. "Could ya tell me
anything about er'?"
Normally Tullk wouldn't get into anyone's affairs but y/n was like a little
sister to him and he had high hopes that maybe Yondu would help her open up a
little bit more. "Ya know, you and er', ain't so different..." seeing the male
confused he sighed. "I was there when Stakar found er'. We was a little team
back then and we took on a job of stealing a Sovereign shipment..."
"Sovereign?" Yondu asked, confused.
"Real high and mighty folk. The community designs them, they made in birthing
pods... Personally I prefer the ol' fashion way... Anyway. The ship was meant
to take all the new things they bought to them. Easy enough to steal and like
always afterwards we went to see what we got. We was popping open crate after
crate and then we came to one that ad' holes along the top rim. Charlie e'
called cap' over and with all of us there he opened it and there she was. We
guess she was only eleven, twelve at the time. Wee thing was scared to death,
huddled into the corner of that small box...Meant to be a pet." Stopping he
shook his head. "We didn't know what ta do with a kid but there was no where
for her to go. Centuri was gone, won't no Centaurians on record. So we kept
her, bathed her, fed her, gave her clothes. She was terrified, never said a
word, stayed balled up in the corner of a room till everyone would leave and
then she would cry. Slowly Stakar broke down her walls. We learned her name,
that she was scared of the dark, that the reason she didn't talk was because
she was never allowed to." Seeing the male look down he nodded, "Lass has been
through a lot and she has a lot of healing still left to do but I think ya may
jus' be the one to help er'."
Quickly looking up Yondu furrowed his brows. "Me? Why me? You all have known
her way longer than I have... she hasn't even said one word to me."
"Like I said before Yondu, I ave' been around a long time. Ya don't know much
about yer race and it don't surprise me but I do. I traveled to Centuri before
and I have seen what lies ahead.... Now as for the talking ya will ave' ta work
on that. Y/n don't ever say much. Why most of us know what questions to ask.
She has to trust ya and get ta know ya before she will speak ta ya." Tullk told
him.
"I never see er'." Yondu said with a huff.
Lifting one brow Tullk leaned forward. "Can I see yer halo pad real quick?" he
asked. 
Furrowing his brows Yondu slowly leaned forward and handed the halo pad to the
male. Without a word the male threw the pad to the floor, shattering the
screen. Wide eyes he glared at Tullk, "What the fuck?!" 
Smirking Tullk leaned back onto his pillow. "Now ya got a reason ta go see
er'."
Growling he bent down to pick up his pad and placed it on the dresser. Shaking
his head he looked to male, "Ya keep saying how ya been around fer a while...
what are ya?"
"Asgardian." was all the male said before he turned out the lights and rolled
over to sleep.
Sighing Yondu layed on his bed and looked up at the ceiling, Tullk's words
playing through his head. "...male Centurian lays claim over a female." Had he
really layed claim over her? She never left his mind and hearing what Chee said
today and hearing her cry of pain had made him feel things he had never felt
before. How could he had claimed her, when he didn't know her?
