"Okay, this isn't creepy at all." Rocket says while they go in
"We house the galaxy's largest collection of fauna, relics, and species of all manner. I present to you, Taneleer Tivan, The Collector." The pink girl says. The collector turns around.
"Oh, my dear Gamora. How wonderful to meet in the flesh." Tivan says kissing Gamora's hand
"Let's bypass the formalities, Tivan. We have what we discussed." Gamora says
"What is that thing there?" Tivan asks about Groot
"I am Groot." Tivan goes closer to Groot
"I never thought I'd meet a Groot. Sir. You must allow me to pay you now so that I may own your carcass. At the moment of your death, of course." Tivan says
"I am Groot"
"Why, so he could turn you into a frickin chair?" Rocket asks Groot
"That's your pet?" Tivan asks Groot. Quill and Carrie's eyes widen
"His what?!" Rocket says getting out his gun
"Tivan. We have been halfway around the galaxy, retrieving this Orb." Gamora says calming down the room
"Very well, then. Let us see what you brought" Tivan says. Quill takes out the Orb and almost drops it. Tivan takes the Orb
"Oh, my new friends. Before creation itself, there were six singularities." Tivan says
"So I was right. It is the power stone." Carrie says
"Correct. Then the universe exploded into existence, and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated ingots. Infinity Stones. These stones, it seems, can only be brandished by beings of extraordinary strength. Observe." Tivan says pointing to a screen showing a big tin guy with a scepter.
"These carriers can use the stone to mow down entire civilizations like wheat in a field." Tivan says
"There's a little pee coming out of me right now." Quill says. Carrie rolls her eyes
"Once, for a moment, a group was able to share the energy amongst themselves, but even they were quickly destroyed by it. Beautiful. Beyond compare." Tivan says about the stone
"Blah, blah, blah. We're all very fascinated, whitey. But we'd like to get paid." Rocket says
"How would you like to get paid?" Tivan asks
"What do you think, fancy man? Units!" Rocket says
"Very well, then." Tivan says opening a draw. Carrie looks up and sees the pink girl go towards the stone. Carrie tries to stop her but it's too late.
"Carina. Stand back." Tivan says
"I will no longer be your slave!" Carina yells touching the stone
"No!" Tivan yells. The stone blows. Carrie backs up into Quill and he grabs her. They take cover behind a desk. The whole place blows and Quill is holding Carrie for dear life making sure to cover her.
After the explosion stops they look up.
"What the-" Quill says. Gamora comes out of her hiding space and closes the stone in the Orb. They leave
"How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?" Gamora says
"Why couldn't that Carina girl rebel after we got the money?" Carrie says kicking the floor.
"What do you still have it for?!" Rocket says
"What are we gonna do, leave it in there?" Quill says
"It blew up the whole place!" Carrie says
