Peter Parker, Guardian of the Galaxy

The Kyln

The Kyln, the most secure prison in the known universe

They're all handcuffed walking quietly until Rocket speaks, "I guess most Nova Corp wanna uphold the laws, but the ones here, they're corrupt and cruel." Peter nods in agreement. "But hey, it's not our problem, right guys? We ain't gonna be here long. We've escaped 22 different prisons, this ones no different." Groot makes a noise agreeing with Peter, "you're lucky that the broad showed up, because otherwise, me, Pete and Groot would be collecting that bounty right now, and you'd be getting drawn and quartered by Yondu and those Ravengers." Peter is still upset by the fact his senses didn't alert him about the Nova Corp and they got captured. He was brought out of his thoughts as Quill started talking. "I've had a lot of folks try to kill me over the years. I ain't gonna get brought down by some superhuman kid with a bunch of nicknames, a tree and a talking raccoon."

The guard stops them in the middle of the halls. "What's a raccoon?" Peter knew since Rocket was young, he'd never been around other raccoons so he knew why Rocket didn't know what that was, and since they knew each other, he's been calling him Rocket, never just raccoon, but that doesn't stop Quill. "What's a raccoon? It's what you are, stupid." Peter rolls his eyes knowing that Rocket was most likely smarter than him. "Ain't nothing like me, except me. Tell 'em, kid." Peter looks at them, "he's one of a kind." They're lead down more halls and Peter starts wondering how big the place really is. "So this Orb has a real shiny blue suitcase, Ark of the Covenant, Maltese Falcon sort of vibe." Peter couldn't help but throat chuckle at that since it's mostly true. "What is it?" Quill asks Gamora as if she couldn't kill him, even handcuffed. "I am Groot." Groot replies to Quill, "so what? What's the Orb?" It seemed to Peter like he didn't understand Groot. Gamora finally spoke and says, "I have no words for an honorless theif." To that, Rocket relies with, "Pretty high and mighty coming from the lackey of a genocidal maniac." Gamora looked at him like she didn't know everyone in the universe fears her. "Yeah, we know who you are." Peter just gave up and finally said, "yeah, anyone who's anyone knows who you are, girl." "Yeah, we know who you are." Said Quill and he whispers to Groot, "who is she?" "I am Groot." He replied. "Yeah, you said that." Peter just ended up rolling his eyes as Groot was telling him that she is the daughter of Thanos. "I wasn't retrieving the Orb for Ronin." Peter's heard stories of Ronin the Acuser, if that's the Ronin she works with, he knew he was in deeper trouble if he finds him or the others.

"I was betraying him. I had plans to sell it to a 3rd party." The guard unlocks the doors and they keep walking. "I am Groot." Groot says asking who it was and Quill starts getting annoyed, "well, that's as interesting as the first 89 times you've told me that. What is wrong with Giving Tree, here?" Rocket decided to explain, "we'll, he no talkin' good like me and you. So his vocabulary is listed to "I" and "am" and "Groot"." Peter finished it with, "exclusively in that order." We start walking past lockup, "I'll tell you what, that's gonna get wear real thin, real fast." Peter starts hearing what he thinks is Hooked On A Feeling, one of his favorite song from earth, but maybe he was just getting homesick, until he looks and sees the guard has a Walkman in his hands. Quill sees it and gets angry, "hey. Put that away." He walks into the room and starts yelling that they are his and they belong in impound. Then he gets tased and all they can do is watch as he squirms.

Later, Quill is getting changed into a prisoner outfit as Peter and Rocket get thrown into the room with him. Quill then notices that Rocket has some device attached to him and Peter has some scars on his back that come together in the shape of a spider (hink of the back of Amazing Spider-Man suit). They later meet back up with Groot and Gamora are handed sleeping bags, and they see just how many prisoners are here. One of them start throwing trash as they see Gamora and they all start yelling. "Like we said, she's got a rep." Rocket said as they keep walking. Peter replys with "a lot of the prisoners here undoubtedly have lost families to Ronin and his men. She'll last a day if she's lucky." "But the guards, they'll protect her, right?" Quill asked, Peter doesn't believe how naive this guy is and tells him, "the guards here don't care about us, they're job is to keep us from escaping. They don't care what we do to each other inside." "Whatever nightmares the future holds, are dreams compared to what's behind me." Gamora says as a big prisoner walks up to Quill. "Check out the new meat. I'm gonna slather you up in Gunavian jelly, and go to town-" he gets interrupted by Groot as he sticks his his fingers up his nose and lifts him into the air. Rocket steps forward to speak, "let's get something clear. This one here's our booty!" Peter decides to step in, "so that means if you wanna get to him, you go through us!" Rocket finishes the threat, "or more accurately, we go through you!" Groot drops him and they continue walking as he starts crying. Quill smiles, "I'm with them."

One of the prisoners, a Mutate, watches Gamora as she goes to her cell.
