Jesse Alexander arrives just in time to help Titus, Mister Z'zz and The Phlish from the Rigellians. After a brief firefight, Gamora and Rocket Raccoon (who were kidnapped by the Rigellians) hand them a recorder. When more Rigellians show, the Novas (with the two Guardians take them out and attempt to get to their ship, only to be ambushed by an enemy ship. Against Titus' advice Jesse punches through the Rigellian ship, allowing the group to escape. When Jesse asks where's his thanks, Titus shows it by jabbing a burn mark on the human's shoulder.
Present Day
Jesse, now drunk, delusional, and constantly missing.
While searching for his missing father, ordinary teen Sam Alexander fell off his skateboard and hit his head. When he woke up in the hospital, he discovered Gamora and Rocket Raccoon standing over his hospital bed. They too were searching for Jesse.
