Back at the Eclector, Yondu, Rocket and Daranak were thrown into a jail cell by Taserface and his followers.

"We deliver you to the Kree in the morning." Taserface said as the cell gate locks up. "Neither each of you will last longer after that." Taserface said before starting to leave.

"Okay, Taserface. Hey, tell the other guys we said 'Hi', Taserface!"

"And tell them I said 'Taserface is a ridiculous name'." Daranak said.

Taserface groan before continuing to leave his prisoners in the cell.

"What about this little plant? Can I smash it with a rock?" Gef asked as he shows Baby Groot in the cage.

"No, Gef. It's too adorable to kill. Take it to the tailor." Taserface ordered.

Back at the cell, there was nothing Rocket, Daranak and Yondu can do except sit and talk.

"No offense, but your employees are a bunch of jerks." Rocket said.

"And ruthless. How did you even end up with a bunch of mercenaries like the Ravagers?" Daranak asked.

"I was a Kree battle slave for 20 years when Stakar freed me." Yondu said.

"Stakar Ogord? Salzer and I heard about him during our time at Nova." Daranak asked.

"He offered me a place with the Ravagers. He said all I needed to do was adhere to the code. But I was young, and greedy, and stupid. Like you stealing those batteries, and you and your sister going in that dangerous ghost portal." Yondu said.

"That was mostly Drax." Rocket said.

"Salzer convince me to go in the portal with her." Daranak said.

"Me and Stakar and the other captains, we weren't so different from you and your friends. The only family I ever had. When I broke the code, they exiled me. This is what I deserve." Yondu said, admitting his mistakes.

"Slow down, drama queen. You might deserve this, but Daranak and I don't. We gotta get outta here." Rocket said.

"And how are we gonna do that?" Daranak said, showing the cuffs that were place on him.

"Where's Quill?" Yondu asked.

"He went off with his old man." Rocket replied.

"Ego?" Yondu asked, couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Yeah. It's a day for dumbass names." Rocket said, which Yondu chuckled. "You're smiling. And for a second, I got a warm feeling. But then it was ruined by those disgusting-ass teeth."

"You like a professional asshole or what?" Yondu asked.

"Pretty much a pro." Rocket said.

"Trust me, Rocket can drive the others nuts sometimes." Daranak said.

"Why didn't you deliver Quill to Ego like you promised?" Rocket asked.

"Not only that, since you didn't deliver Peter to his father, how come you didn't return him back to Earth? He might have had other relatives there." Daranak asked.

"He was skinny. Could fit places we couldn't. Good for thievin'." Yondu lied.

"Uh-huh?" Rocket said, not believing Yondu's lie.

"Right..." Daranak said, also not believing Yondu's lie.

"I got an idea on how to get outta here. But we're gonna need your little friend." Yondu said.

"God knows what they're doing to Groot. Hope he's okay." Daranak said.

...

Meanwhile, at the main section of the Eclector, Baby Groot was being humiliated by Taserface's men, especially one name Retch, as he was struggling to take out some clothing that they had placed on him, making him fall.
