Warning. Contains some spanking of a minor as punishment. Izzy is not listening and gets swatted a few times. If you don't like please don't read. Thank you.

"That's not fair!" Izzy yells stomping her foot on the metal floor.

Yondu sighs, squeezing the bridge of his nose. He drops his hand looking down on his 9 year old adopted daughter. "I dont care if it's fair t'you or not Izzy. The answer is still no."

"But Tasie said I could!" She yells, raising her voice even more. She gives him a definite look.

Yondu places his hands on his hips, clearly done with this argument. "I dont care what Taserface said. You are not going with them. You're too young."

She pouts up at him, twisting her face, "I'm not young, I'm a ravager! You cant babysit me forever daddy!"

Yondu laughs boisterously, "You may wear the colors and flames girly but you are no ravager. Not yet. You aren't going. And that's final."

Izzy brings her hands up, before dropping them with an irritated grunt and stomp of a foot. She knew that acting this way was not proving her point of being a big bad ravager and old enough to go on a mission without Yondu, Kraglin or Peter. But she was just so frustrated with him. This is something she wants to do. He cant keep her prisoner in this ship.

Yondu chuckles lightly, "point proven kid. Now go find your brother to bother."

Izzy crosses her arms obscenently, "No. I dont wanna."

Yondu growls a little, "then go to your room till diner time."

"No."

Yondu lowers his voice, sending it into that threatening daddy tone, one that says she's seconds away from being in trouble. "Girl. You better mind me or else we're gonna have problems."

Izzy narrows her eyes at him, glaring into him just as he was glaring into her. Each is stubborn and hardheaded. The only difference is that Yondu has many more years of practice in getting his way then she did. So Yondu was ready for the stare down that was ensuing. They stay locked that way a split second before she broke the silence. She just couldn't take the staring war any longer.

"No. I wanna go! And I'm not leaving till you give me what I want!"

She raises her voice, having it echo in the dense space. She stomps her foot for emphasis. She crosses her arms and sticks her nose in the air. She gives him a look that almost dares him to defy her. She tried reason so maybe a little brattiness will better get her way. Oh how wrong she is. Her face falls a little when she sees the flare of Yondu's nostrils. Oh no.

Yondu was having none of her attitude. If there is one thing Yondu hates it's being disrespected especially by one of his kids. He was on his youngest in two strides. He grasps her bicep, turning her to the side. He lands a firm, sting swat on her backside followed by another. He spins her around so she's only inches from the scowling face. Her eyes have a few unchecked tears in the corners. Good. That means that he at least has her attention.

"This tantrum stops now. You will do as yer told. Now go t'yer room till I come for ya." He ends the command with a swat to get the youngster on her way.

Izzy sniffles lightly, rubbing her nose on the back of her hand. Yondu raises an eyebrow at her. She stands for one more second before running off to her room down the hall. She didn't even notice her brother Kraglin.

"Hey princess. . ." He waves.

He drops his hand as the small girl runs past him without even stopping. He turns to watch the retreating form of his little sister run into her room and slam the door shut. Kraglin slowly turns back around, making his way into the command room. He takes notice of his captain. He stands with one hand on his hip, the other pinching the bridge of his nose. It doesn't take Kraglin long to figure out why his little sister ran to her room. No doubt Yondu and her had an altercation. And it was probably over her wanting to go on the new job they were hired to do.

"She wanted t'go didn't she?" Kraglin asks cautiously.

Yondu drops his hand to look at his first mate and eldest child. He had raised Kraglin since he was about 11. Stowing away on his ship before Yondu found him. He's been with him ever since. But he had a much easier time raising Kraglin than he does raising Izzy. Even Peter was easy at this age! Izzy is just so strong willed. So stubborn. So hardheaded. So much like him. Yondu groans inwardly knowing the fight is only gonna get worse as she grows older. Kraglin breaks the silence, pulling the captain out of his thoughts.

"She just wants to be like everyone else sir."

Yondu scoffs at the idea, "she's too young t'be like everyone else. She's only 9 Krags! And she hasn't grown up like you and Petey did."

"Ain't that the truth. She's a princess around here." Kraglin states not having any heat to his words.

He understood there was a difference in circumstances for each. For one both Peter and him are boys and they were taken on by Yondu at an older age than Izzy. She was only 3 when Peter brought her back to the ship after freeing her from some kind of enslavement on a mission. Peter was almost 19 by then and Kraglin himself was in his late 20s. So she was definitely doted on more then he and Peter. Especially since over half the crew fell in love with this little girl who had big blue eyes and a bright smile. Even now she is doted on and protected more than any other member of the crew. She could get away with so much if any of the crew had the courage to stand up to Captain and give her what she wanted.

Yondu sighs at the comment, "Son, "

"I'm not saying anything against it sir but she will have t'go sometime without one of us babysitting her. Ya are overprotective of her sir." Kraglin says the last part with a goofy grin on his face.

He knows full well what he is doing. He's picking at his captain. Invoking him to say something back. And oh does Yondu want to say something to his first mate. Kraglin knows full well why she can't go on every mission. And Yondu knows that Kraglin doesn't want her going out on her own either. The seer thought of her going with Taserface, Brahl and Oblo on a mission sickens him. He'd probably get her back with broken bones or in pieces. Now the men would do everything to protect her but Yondu knows how Izzy is. She doesn't listen to anyone except Yondu and Kraglin and even that is limited at best. So, the answer at the moment is no and will be no till she can listen to orders without questioning them. Yondu levels his oldest kid with a glare, placing both hands on his hips.

"Ya want her going out on her own?"

"No. But that's not the point. . ."

"That is the point boy. Now stop."

Yondu turns to end the conversation only to stop. Yondu watches Kraglin open his mouth to say something. The younger man quickly snaps it shut when Yondu gives him a deadly gaze. He just got through having a conversation with his youngest about disrespecting him. He'll be dead before he lets his oldest and acting first mate do the same. Yondu is on Kraglin, forcing the younger to lean back a little.

"I will remind you, boy. That you aint too old fer me t'drag YOU across my knee as well. So watch it."

Kraglin gulps at that giving his captain a nervous smile. He knows that his captain meant his threat. Yondu would not hesitate to whip him if he felt like he needed it. The centaurian raised him, then Peter and now Izzy. In his captain's culture Kraglin was no more than a rowdy teenager. Possible in his 20s. In his own culture, Xandarnian culture, he was an adult. But that didn't matter to his captain and adoptive father. Especially if Yondu felt like he needed a reminder of who's kid he was.

"Now. I suggest ya go find somewhere else t'be b'fore I make good on my threat." Yondu warns.

Kraglin nods his head. He watches nervously as Yondu steps away. Yondu places his hands on his hips, watching the younger man. Kraglin keeps his captain in front of him as he tries to slip past. No reason to hand Yondu a chance to embarrass him. Unfortunately, Yondu is more observant than he thinks. Yondu sees the slight movement. He knows that Krags just wants to get him in front so he doesn't have a chance to make good on his threat from earlier. Once Kraglin is a safe distance he turns his back to him. Yondu clicks his tongue. Now they can't have that. He wastes no time. The centaurian takes a step forward bringing his hand down on his eldest son's backside. Yondu is rewarded with a surprised yelp leaving his son's mouth. He watches with amusement as Kraglin's hand flys back to rub out the sting. Yondu raises an eyebrow as Kraglin twists his face into a very small, very brief childish pout. The older man has to hold back his laugh. Krags looks so much like his baby sister at the moment. The family moment is broken as footsteps draw near. Kraglin straightens his face, turns and walks away.

Yondu shakes his head, sighing once again. He seems to be going that a lot here lately. These kids were gonna be the death of him. Kraglin isn't the cause of the death wish. He listens, as he should being first mate and in his 30s. He was always an easy going kid anyways. Always listened to Yondu when he told him to do something. His other two; well that's a different story. Peter is his problematic, smart mouthed middle kid. He always has to have some reply, some question, when given orders. And Izzy, well she's the same in that way but she is also defiant, curious, a spitfire forsure. So, between Peter and Izzy Yondu was gonna turn gray before he's old. Yondu shakes his head, pushing away the horrific thought of Izzy when she gets older. Speaking of his problematic kid. He was suppose to check in hours ago and Yondu hasn't heard from him. He turns his attention to the holo-computers in front of him as Tulk walks in to give him an update.

"The crew is ready to go sir. They want to know if Izzy is coming with them?" Tulk asks cautiously.

Yondu growls a little, "No she ain't. So send them on their way so they can get this job done."

Tulk nods his head, but notices that his captain is otherwise preoccupied. Tulk is a long time friend of the captains, and he has learned to tell over the years when something is bothering Yondu. The whole time Tulk has been talking to him Yondu has not taken his eyes off the holocomputers in front of him. He notices that Yondu has up on the maps coordinates, and a tracking symbol. Peter is out on a job. The kid has a bad habit of not checking in when he's suppose to making his old man worry too much.

"Have ya heard anything from Petey?" Tulk questions in a deep scottish accent.

Yondu shakes his head, "No. And he's several hours past check-in."

"The kid is alway past check-in" Tulk points out.

"The kid is careless. But he ain't this careless. He should of been back by now." Yondu states, not taking his eyes off the screen.

Yondu finally finds the tracker of the Milano. He notices that the Milano isn't moving. He growls, thinking that there is something wrong with the computer. He press some buttons and slams a fist on the table. A red line draws out the route of the Milano within the past several hours. Yondu notices that the ship has barely moved. He checks the numbers once again. He takes note that they have changed. They were not the numbers when he started his search for the Milano. But it is only off by a fraction. Which means that the ship is drifting. Yondu decides to try to reach his son before he goes into full panic. None of the hails are answered. Dread and worry form in the pit of Yondu's stomach. He quickly transfers all the information and coordinates to his holopad before turning around to speak with Tulk.

"Go fetch Doc. Tell him t'meet me in the hanger." Yondu states, starting to walk off. "And find Kraglin too." He adds.

"Aye Capt'n. Anything wrong?" Tulk cautiously questions

There may have been unhappy crew members when Yondu decided to keep Peter all those years ago. But there were members of the crew who had learned to enjoy having the kid around. As he's gotten older he's become more troublesome and hard headed when it comes to taking orders. But that didn't mean that those who cared for the kid didn't stop caring. So, the fact that the captain seems to be worried about the younger man adds to the worry that Tulk slightly feels about the situation as well.

"I don't know. But I'm gonna find out." Yondu says ending the conversation.

Yondu walks away from the command room to go find his youngest. If she did what she was told she should be in her room. But Yondu knows that she rarely does what she's told. He doesn't really want to take Izzy on this trip because he has no idea what he'll find. He's hoping that Peter is okay, and just being a brat about answering his calls. But his gut tells him that something is wrong. But Izzy is right, he cant keep her on the ship the whole time. It's been a while since any of the Udonta men have been out on a job, and Izzy is feeling the effects of it. She's an explorer, an adventurer. She loves to see new places, experience new things, and more importantly she loves a good fight. Takes after him when it comes to that. Now going from a bigger ship to a smaller ship is not much of a change. But maybe the mystery of it all will get her calmed down enough to not throw a fit every time someone goes out on a job.

Yondu walks to Izzy's room. He takes a deep breath, to calm his nerves. He doesn't want Izzy to know that anything is wrong. Not till they find out more information. There is no sense in making the young one worry over something that is really none of her concern. Yondu walks into Izzy's room without bothering with a knock. He is greeted by his daughter laying on her bed with her feet up in the air. She has headphones on. No doubt listening to Quill's music. He notices that she's reading some book one of the crew members gave her. Hopefully it's nothing too horrific for the nine year old. He doesn't want to deal with nightmares all night long.

"Izzy." Yondu says trying to get his daughter's attention. "Isabella." Still no answer.

Yondu sighs. He walks over yanking the headphones off the young girls head. She lets out a surprise hey. She levels her father with a small glare as he throws the headphones back on the bed near the tape player.

"Get up. Get your boots on." He commands, pushing her boots a little closer to her. "

why?" She scowls.

"Isabella do what I ask." Yondu sighs out exasperated. "We need to go get your brother." Yondu states, not giving the girl any more information.

She swings her legs over the edge of the bed, a concerned look on her face. She watches him, no doubt trying to discern whether it's a good pick up, or a bad one. Mostly they're always bad pick ups. But to have to be bailed out of jail is better than finding yourself stranded and half dead. Yondu keeps himself busy though, not glancing at her. He picks up her boots, seeing as she clearly wasn't going to put them on herself. He walks out the door, not even waiting for the girl calling out to him. Well she can just walk to the hanger without shoes on then. He doesn't have time to wait and argue with the kid.

"Wait! What is wrong with Petey?" She asks, running after him in her socked feet.

Yondu doesn't answer Izzy. He can fill her in when he informs Kraglin and Doc what's going on. She's persistent though. She follows Yondu, pulling on his sleeve and saying daddy multiple times in a row. She thinks that repeating his name sake and pulling on him is gonna force him to expel his guts and give her the answers she wants. But that just makes him irritated and more determined to not tell her. He keeps his irritation under control though. She's just curious and he hasn't really given her much to form her own ideas. And she's no doubt worried about her brother. Izzy always goes to the worst possible scenario before knowing all the facts.

They walk into the hanger bay. She follows him to his ship. Izzy notices Kraglin and Doc standing at the hatch. She swallows hard. That's not good. Doc never goes out on jobs. In fact he never leaves the ship unless someone is seriously hurt and can't come to him. Izzy wraps her hand around Yondu's arm. Yondu places his hand on her belly giving it a light pat. He can feel the tension coming off of her. She's tense and worried about her brother. He keeps his hand on her abdomen in an attempt to calm her down a little.

"What's wrong Capt'n?" Kraglin asks.

"Peter hasn't checked in." Yondu states, resting a foot on the open hatch door.

Kraglin goes to retort that the fact that he hasn't checked in is nothing new. But Yondu stops his first mate, by continuing on with the information he has found out.

"The Milano is adrift. I wanna go see what's up. Doc we need you in case something is wrong. And Kraglin. You need to fly the ship back if Peter can't. He only trusts you and I to fly her so be prepared."

Izzy's grip tightens even more on Yondu. Peter is in trouble. Deadly trouble. He doesn't let anyone fly the Milano unless he truly cannot. And Yondu doesn't seem to know what's going on either. The younger members clearly doesn't like the idea that Yondu is possibly ensuing. Kraglin and Doc nods their heads in understanding their roles. Yondu says nothing else as he turns and walks into the ship. His youngest still hanging on him. She's a lot more quiet now. No doubt contemplating all what has been said. Yondu points to a chair at the small table. Izzy let's go of her father and sits in the chair. Yondu sets her boots on the table telling her to put them on. Izzy watches as Yondu climbs the ladder to get into the cockpit. Izzy quickly straps on her boots, not wanting to wait anymore. Kraglin walks by, ruffling her hair lightly. She looks up at him, worry etched in her features. He gives her a comforting smile before moving on to the back of the ship. Izzy pulls herself up, scrambling up the ladder. Yondu glances at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Strap in." He commands as the turbines power up.

Izzy does so without question. She straps herself in, watching the hanger doors open. Yondu wastes no time getting his ship out of the bay. Izzy silently prays that Peter is just being childish and nothing is seriously wrong. But her gut, and the reaction of her family, tells her that something is.
