sighs sitting next to him and nods leaning against him. “It’s known
Terrans capture and… dissect what they don’t understand. I’ve seen it….
before my crew managed break me out. I watched as another crew member
was dissected and killed….”“Oh my god,” Mr Ramon murmured.
“I wonder if that was SHIELD,” Mikey murmured. “Or, like…
the CIA or something.”Carlos shrugged slightly. He hadn’t heard about this from
Yondu before… it made sense why he was so nervous being on Earth now.Yondu shrugs. “all i know is that…… they were Terrans. And…. they tore up my friend. Didn’t even have the decency to kill him first……. not even we….. do that…. we have illegal experimentation but…. I’ve never heard anyone keeping you alive or awake for that shit….”
“That sounds pretty illegal for us,” Mr Ramon told him. “Those
are crimes against humanity.”“When has the CIA followed the law, Dad?” Mikey asked. “And
I don’t know if ‘crimes against humanity’ laws protect non-humans anyhow.” He
looked at Yondu. “Though, it looks like they really outta, since it’s obvious
that we’re not alone in the galaxy.”“I had no idea, Yondu,” Carlos told him the Ravager Captain.
“Had I known… Iwouldn’t have pushed so hard to make you come with me.”Mr Ramon frowned slightly. “But, Mr Udonta, for what it’s
worth I’m very glad that you did
come. I am so grateful for what you’ve done for my family, and I’m glad that I
can say that to your face. Thank you.”Looks to carlos and smiles ears flicking. “I promised. I just…. might have issues like what just happened….. …. and… mr. Ramon…. I’m glad I came too. Carlos speaks highly of his family. Hmmmm you know… in space they have treatments for walking and for those in wheel chairs. Get a few cybernetics you’ll be playing hard ball in the arena…”
Mikey smiled at him. “Thanks, man, but if I start toting
around alien cybernetics people are going to wonder where I got it, how much it
cost, and if I can be blackmailed into getting more.” He shrugged slightly. “I’m
a software designer – walking’s for zombies. I don’t need to do that stuff.
Besides – girls like a guy with strong arms.” And with that Mikey flexed his
arms playfully with a cheeky grin.Carlos smiled at Mikey.
“Would you like to stay for dinner?” Mr Ramon asked. “Or… if
you can eat Earth food, that is. I know how to cook quite a bit though, and I’m
very willing to cook to your palate.”Yondu laughs a bit and shakes his head. “I.. Uhh sure. Only human food I cannot eat is your fruit. We all found out that hard way on that. I do t care for a repeat. Carlos… your family should try beastie worms. You liked em right?”
Carlos smiled. “Yeah, they’re a great snack,” he agreed. “Not
exactly for a meal though,” he then
added and reached to gently pinch Yondu on the arm.
“Well… Yondu, humans use a lot of fruits and technical
fruits in their food,” Mr Ramon said. “There’s a vast amount of different
species of fruit, actually. Do you know which kinds are the ones that gave you
a bad reaction?”
