[ In case you're checking in: yeah, Peter's still grinning.
It's— nice, seeing one of their teammates from home. Like, obviously it sucks that any of them are stuck here, but at least they can all head back together, when the time comes.
(He thinks briefly of Mantis, and that smile falters for a second; he wonders why she left and why he and Gamora hadn't.)
He hums out his agreement, huffing out a quick, almost disbelieving laugh. It's not as though the Portal had any apparent rhyme or reason to who or what it pulled through, aside from the whole— displacement thing? But Peter thinks Groot is probably too young to feel that, so maybe he just— jumped through something he shouldn't have? Touched something he shouldn't have?
Who knows?
And then Peter's smile fades entirely as he lifts his gaze. ]
What if Groot's not the only one that showed up?
[ And the trepidation in his voice means that, for once, Peter isn't thinking about the other members of the team. ]
