[Rocket's just been revived by Gamora, Groot and Star-Lord. Meanwhile, Drax, Mantis and Nebula are still on the High Evolutionary's ship where all his test subjects, genetically modified children are being held. Peter then contacts them over the comm system.]
Neblula? Where are you?
Nebula
Oh, thank god. We're here to get you out of here.
SLStar-Lord
Out of where?
Nebula
The High Evolutionary's ship.
SLStar-Lord
No, I got off the ship.
Nebula
[beat.]
You what?
SLStar-Lord
Wait, where are you?
Nebula
On the ship!
SLStar-Lord
On the ship?!
Nebula
I didn't lie!
SLStar-Lord
Why are you on the ship?!
Nebula
To save you, obviously!
SLStar-Lord
No, I told you to go back! You got to know by now that I always figure out an incredibly clever way to get out of a fix!
Drax
[playing with the children.]
Tell him I said hi.
Nebula
Really?!
Drax
Tell him we're coming to save him.
Nebula
Pay attention or play with the kids, one or the other.
Gamora
"Play with the kids?"
Mantis
How did you get out?
SLStar-Lord
That's not really important.
GGroot
I am Groot!
Mantis
Jumping a thousand feet to your death without a parachute is a clever way of getting out of a fix?!
SLStar-Lord
Well... [sighs.]
Gamora
You're all just making up stuff that he's saying, right?
RRocket
The important thing is we're all okay.
Nebula
[Drax, Mantis and Nebula are all shocked as they hear Rocket's voice for the first time since he was shot.]
Rocket?
SLStar-Lord
Yeah. He's here. And he's okay.
Mantis
[Nebula starts crying, happy her friend is alive. Mantis tries to keep her composure as she speaks into the comm.]
Rocket, we love you very much and we're happy you're alive.
RRocket
[tearfully, but smiling.]
Well, that makes you the idiots then.
High Evolutionary
He's right about that.
High Evolutionary
[Rocket starts hyperventilating as he hears the sound of his creator's voice over the comms. Meanwhile, the High Evolutionary and several of his guards enter the holding area. All the children start screaming and running away from him.]
BACK IN YOUR CAGES!
SLStar-Lord
[The High Evolutionary uses his telekinesis to send the three Guardians flying, knocking all of them unconscious.]
Nebula? Nebula, come in!
High Evolutionary
[The High Evolutionary picks up Nebula's comm to use it himself.]
So, you'd like to joust, would you?
SLStar-Lord
[exchanges a look of fear between him, Rocket and Groot.]
Go to hell, you sick son of a bitch. You killed all those people!
High Evolutionary
As I will your friends. I'm sending you the coordinates. They will die unless you BRING ME WHAT IS MINE!!!
