[ And the answer is immediate, low and dangerous in a way Peter has never spoken before – at least, not around Gamora. They’ve both killed before, but for Peter more than anyone on the team, killing has always been a last resort. He doesn’t enjoy it – not like Rocket or Drax do – but he understands that sometimes, it’s necessary.
In this case, though? The answer is easy. They kill him before he can try to get a word in edgewise. They cut him down where he stands and hope that whatever bullshit the Portal used to bring him here didn’t also confer him his immortality.
But if it did, then Peter doesn’t mind trying again and again and again. Until it sticks. Until Peter’s satisfied. Whichever comes first.
