Carrie wakes up expecting to see Peter next to her. He isn't. She sighs.
Carrie goes out on the deck and pulls out a cigarette.
"You are in danger!" Carrie hears echoing.
"I'm trying to smoke, Charl-." Carrie says before realizing it's a girl voice. It's Mantis. She puts out the cigarette and runs to Drax's room.
"What the hell is going to happen?" She asks. Gamora comes in and pins Mantis to the wall with Nebula behind her.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Carrie asks about Nebula
"Who are you people? What is this place?" Gamora yells at Mantis
"Gamora, let her go!" Drax says
"The bodies in the caverns, who are they?" Gamora asks
"You are scared." Mantis says to Gamora. Gamora backs away
"What did she do to me?" Gamora asks scared
"She made you scared, I'm guessing." Carrie says
"She already told me everything." Drax says
"The bodies are his children." Mantis says. All Carrie's thinking about right now is saving Peter from this lunatic.
"We need to find Peter now and get off the damn planet." Carrie says
"Ego will have won him to his side by now." Mantis says
"Then let's go save him." Carrie says
"Or we just go." Nebula says
"No, he's our friend." Carrie says
"All any of you do is yell at each other. You are not friends." Nebula says
"You're right. We're family. We leave no one behind. Except maybe you." Drax says to Nebula
"Oh, my god." Nebula says. Gamora's radio beeps
"Finally!" Gamora says
"Keep that transmitter nearby so I can find you. We're in an old piece of construction equipment Yondu once used to slice open the Bank of A'askvarii." Rocket says
"Ego's unhinged." Gamora says.
"I know. Get ready." Rocket says. They start running and the palace is glowing so bright.
"Peter." Carrie says under her breath. Drax busts the door down and Yondu and Rocket crash their ship down on Ego.
"Yes!" Carrie yells. They start running towards the ship. She sees Groot waving but passes him to go get Peter.
"So did I say, I told you so in your head while that was happening?" Carrie asks Peter helping him get up
"I told you so. Just what I need to hear right now." Peter says
"Well I came back, didn't I?" Carrie asks
"Because there's an unspoken thing and we had s-" Peter says
"Not the time!" Carrie says. She helps him get on the ship.
"What's Smurfette doing here?" Peter asks
"Whatever I need to do to get a damn ride home." Nebula says
"She tried to murder me!" Rocket yells
"I saved you, you stupid fox!" Nebula yells back
"He's not a fox." Gamora says
"I am Groot."
"I'm not a raboon, either." Rocket says
