Peter cringed slightly, slowly sitting up and rubbing at his back before pausing when his arm only stopped at his shoulder. Glancing to the walls, he spotted the chains there, keeping him in place. 'Well this is perfect...' Quill sighed, looking himself over. They took blaster, mask and all. Hell, they even took his jacket and boots, leaving Peter in his T-shirt, pants and socks. After getting out his daze, he glanced out his cell, before seeing Gamora and Drax in a much confined and cramped cell, as Rocket was stuck in some metal kennel, who looked extremely pissed. 'Where's Groot...?' The infamous Starlord looked around for the sapling, but didn't find anything but multiple guards patrolling through the small halls.
"Took you long enough to wake up, Quill.." Rocket growled, watching the man from his own 'cell'.
"How long was I out…? And what happened to Groot?"
"Hell if I know, these idiots have been lingering like a bad smell." The Raccoon motioned his muzzle to the guards, twitching his tail in irritation when none of them even bothered to look at the prisoners.
Peter sighed, letting the back of his head bump into the wall, staring up at nothing. He didn't really expect this kind of reaction for his return home, but he knew no one was left to give him a warm welcome anyway, he's been in the stars for too long, it made sense no one even remembered him. Not really his fault either, Yondu may claim that he "Saved his life", but at the same time, the crooked toothed outlaw also abducted him for some units, but decided to change his mind by the end of it.
"-Yo Quill, are you even paying attention?" Rocket frowned, making Peter jump, looking back to the hot headed animal for a moment, who snorted at the young man's reaction. "Focus Quill, once we're out, you can stare into nothin' all you want."
Peter only rolled his eyes, before looking back to Rocket. "I'm all ears now, what is it?"
"Well, we both know it's been 5 months, right…?"
"Yeah…"
Rocket glanced to the guards, before lowering his voice. "Groot should be about ready to be his normal self. And by the looks of it, the Terran here must've put him somewhere else, so once he DOES go through that growth spurt, he can get us outta here."
"Does he even know where we are…?"
"Quill, please. Groot may be clumsy, but he ain't a idiot-" Rocket shot Starlord a warning glance before the young man could remark on the Raccoons reasoning. "-So we just wait."
"If you say so…" Peter still wasn't all to convinced, but if there's something that Rocket IS good at, others than running his mouth, was inventing and escaping prisons. So for now he would believe the animals word.
Not like he had another choice anyway.
'Well Shit...' Tony glanced to Steve, who had just appeared from Starks elevator, the millionaire had been 10 minutes late, and Cap had decided to take matters into his own hands by meeting Tony at his own tower instead. "You know Cap, there's such thing as calling."
"And if you just so happened to not pick up the phone?" Rogers argued. "You need to listen to your other team mates Tony, take in consideration that we all might not be here to save you from making other mistakes like last time—"
" – 'Last time'? Cap, if you're only here to lecture me about before, then you can stop right there, because I'm not hearin' it. We're here to talk about the new additions, right?"
Steve only wrinkled his nose slightly, before crossing his arms. "I'm still waiting for some more friends…" He looked out Starks large window to see a jet land on his pad, which made Tony shrug.
"Let me guess, the rest of the Avengers?"
"And new ones. If are debating here, might as well make sure everyone agrees." Rogers added as Natasha and Clinton were the first who led the group of heroes inside. Vision, as always, was just fine flying there on his own than using the jet.
"Well then, since you guys ARE here, who wants to start?" Tony put a finger up before Cap could talk. "—Other than him…"
"Vhat are zhey…" Scarlet glanced to the cameras, looking over the prisoners.
"Well, other than a talking Raccoon and some guy in a red jacket, I don't know what else to tell you." Tony sat down on his couch, flicking his wrist through the large tablet that he had as the camera view was now on his large TV.
"Okay, what about THAT thing?" Clinton pointed to the sapling in a pot, who looked up to Hawk Eye.
"I am Groot!" the little tree squeaked, which made the other Avengers stare at the plant.
"It just talked…" Scott gaped to his surprise.
"Yeah, but he—or it, only says 'I am Groot', and only that since we first got here." Tony replied while he poured himself a drink.
"So, the only things really alien are green and blue in there?" Clinton asked again, but Vision was the one to cut in this time.
"What I can tell, the man there isn't fully human, but I can't tell what's the other 50%..."
"—Oh great, so 2 and a half?" Hawk Eye puffed.
"Well, I got these from the guy." Tony opened a box, which held some sort of blaster, the mask from earlier, the two boosters on 'Starlords' boots, and a music player, which came with their headsets.
"Okay, anything else…?" Steve still kept his arms crossed.
"Well, his three friends there had these on them too." Stark got a much bigger box, which now contained a large sword-like weapon, a much more large blaster, along with two dual daggers, in which the others began to start up side conversations.
"They had THAT?! Do all aliens carry stuff like this around?" Scott shook his head. He knew America could be a bit edges, but this was just ridiculous.
"You should've seen their ship, that thing had enough bombs in it to bring down the Effiel Tower in less than 4 minutes." The millionaire added, which set the others with more unease.
"Nick Fury said his agents got everything under control, the public aren't allowed in the park where their ship crashed, so we can only hope Stark here can keep his promise to NOT try and use it." Steve stared at the play boy meaningfully.
"Okay, okay Cap! I get it… Where's Bruce and Thor anyway? I thought you said everyone would be here."
"Bruce… is still M.I.A." Natasha muttered bitterly. "As for Thor, he's back in Asgard."
"Ah, so much for everyone's opinion." Tony grunted.
"Well, for now, we keep them under supervision at all times, for now, we better keep together." Steve motioned to Tony. "Just in case…"
The others only nodded their agreement before the group of heroes dispersed slightly, carrying more side conversations as Stark took a sip of his drink. 'Whatever keeps the old man from snapping at me I guess…' the millionaire swished his drink slightly.
Cap was REALLY lucky that Stark wouldn't sue him for invading his privacy, even though people did it from time to time, Steve just LOVED to do it the most.
Got another one done!~ Which I'm surprised that my power didn't go out, as I got a pretty bad snow storm...
But I'm just glad I got another one out!~ and I hope you enjoy
