Sam always loved hearing stories about his dad, true or not. He had heard his fair share when the man had last been to Earth and had told his son all sorts of tall tales about the things he had seen, and the places he had been. At first, and for the longest time after that, Sam had thought his dad had been making them up. But after finding the helmet, being trained by Gamora and Rocket, and becoming part of the Nova Corps, Sam had come to realize that what he had believed to be fun stories meant to entertain him were actually real.<br/><br/>He listened to Peter talking about his dad, but also noticed the discomfort the man was under talking about the subject.<br/><br/>“All the time.” Sam replied when Peter asked if he had been told things about the Nova Corps prior to joining himself. “I always thought they were just made up stories at the time.” He laughed. “I guess people think the same of you when you tell them what you’ve done.” Sam tried to steer the conversation in another direction, hoping the Guardian would pick up on it. “I mean, saving the galaxy, not exactly something many can claim. Bet it feels good being the hero.”
