What's the point of saying sorry now
Lost my voice while fighting my way out
(While fighting my way out)
What's the point of saying sorry now?
(Not sorry, not sorry, not sorry, I'm not sorry)
Lost my voice while fighting my way out
(Not sorry, not sorry, not sorry I'm not sorry)
Blink 182; Cynical
"Lynx Major (Continued)"
Beth pointed the butter knife at Scales who sat across the table from her.
"Trying to butter me up Doc?" The lizard man mocked.
The alien expected the badger to stab him with the butter knife.
Instead, she chucked the knife at his head.
Instantaneously, Drax flipped the table.
The action caught the lizard off guard.
Food, cutlery, and drinks clattered to the floor.
Screams and cries from other bar patrons sounded through Cosmic Rays.
More seasoned regulars of the establishment continued drinking and going on as if these sorts of fights were a regular occurrence.
Before Scales henchmen opened fire Gamora jumped over the table joining the others. Mantis ducked behind the table as well.
Beth looked at Rocket as the alien henchmen opened fire, "I don't suppose you have a plan?"
Rocket smirked, "I was gonna let you take the lead on this one."
Beth sighed.
She knew he was joking but his remark meant he needed more time to devise a plan. That scheming face of his was already examining the bar, any entrances, exits, and anything that could be used as a weapon.
The badger drew her weapon and peaked over the top of the table before returning fire.
"Good thing there's only three of them and six of us," Peter groaned.
He fired his weapon at one of the large aliens.
Groot eyed the human man, "I am Groot?"
"Ok, six and a half of us," he corrected jokingly.
The sentiment tree punched Peter in the arm.
"I am Groot!" Groot was not amused.
"Groot it was a joke, I'm sorry," Peter chuckled.
Gamora, who was throwing various silverware at the enemy groaned at her boyfriend.
"Can we save the in fighting for when we get out of this bar?" The green woman scowled.
Rocket looked at Gamora with a wicked grin.
"That's it! We're gonna cause in fighting, and sneak out the back door while all the morons are distracted," the raccoon stated to the group.
"How do we do that?" Mantis asked.
Drax grinned as he got to his feet picking up another table and hurling it at the pair of henchmen.
The pair dodged the table.
"Easy," Peter replied.
The human turned around and shot at the glass of one of the patrons behind them. The glass shattered in the individual's hand.
"Who did that?!" Yelled the alien who was now wearing his drink
The alien grimmest at the henchman.
"It's always you two and that stupid boss of yours."
