"Sooooo,""any new ideas how to get out of here? Or something else that may help us at the moment?"
"Right now,""I'm...""I just need some time to think, okay?"
Bruce knew the mien of one who was coming up with panic. Why? Because he'd been there himself more than only once. This was not good. He had no idea what it was that Gamora shared with him, but it seemed to be too much for Tony, even though he wouldn't say so, probably not even admit to himself. Bruce didn't know how to help, or if he could even, but he thought it was better to give Tony that time indeed. He threw a glance over at Thor, giving him a silent nod as if to say 'leave it at that'.

The rest of the day passes with a couple more
interviews having gone about the same.
Is it now the next day.

It was hard to tell the passing of time when surrounded by steal walls. Mantis had mastered passing large amounts of time by herself over her lifetime. Having the distraction of observing others was much more pleasant and made the time go by so fast, even despite the circumstances they found themselves in.
She'd been taken out to be privately interviewed away from the others, just as the others had, though hers had been much shorter. Her naivety and lack of experience in normal conversation had gotten them the least amount of useful information than any of the others. She'd innocently started to speak aloud the private feelings of the person who'd placed a hand on her arm in an attempt to ease Mantis into opening up. She'd watched in confusion as the person had pulled back their hand as if they'd touched fire and backed away along with the rest in the room, most with the look of discomfort as their wide-eyes shifted around to the others in the room.
Unsure exactly how what she could do worked--touch? proximity?--it was no surprise that the interview had come to an abrupt end with orders to have her quickly ushered back to her cell. Mantis didn't fully understand people. She didn't grasp how sensitive and guarded they were about their feelings or how the exposing of feelings could expose potentially sensitive information on what a person's take on a high-level threat might be or the seriousness in which it was being taken by that person. And so she didn't understand why she'd been so hastily escorted back to her cell.
The guards had given as wide a berth as possible, preferring to use their batons to direct the way in an attempt to avoid any contact with the bug looking alien prisoner, ushering her back into her cell and hurrying out of the prison area as quickly as possible, seemingly more worried over feelings being exposed than of the pummeling the rest of the prisoners could have given them if they'd decided to turn on them when being led back to their cells.
She was lying on the tiny built-in bed of her cell, still pondering the extreme sensitivity of beings as she distractedly listening to scattered conversations and comments, when her acute senses had her antennae lighting up. Mantis sat up slowly and walked toward the glass wall facing the others.
With her antennae still glowing, she placed her hand on the glass. "Something is happening," she began, taking a moment to use her sixth sense to feel what was going through the Raft. There were subtle vibrations throughout its entire body, not just the tiny shifting of the room with the opening of the door to the cells like before. It was signaling the start the entire craft shifting its position. She could feel its motion well before others. "We are moving," she said to the others, specifying more with, "Up."

The Asgardian was sure that only a short time had passed but it felt like an eternity. He wasn't used to stay in a cell with nothing else than his clothes and a place to sleep. Again and again he had thought about escaping on his own. He was the God of Thunder and could use his powers to burst away anything that stood in his way! At least he supposed that he could do so. But he also remembered the time when Loki had been imprisoned at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s airship - and, of course but sadly when his brother had tricked him so that he became imprisoned himself.
And besides they had come here voluntarily to help these people - although it didn't fell like that now... "Something is happening," It was Mantis' voice that suddenly broke the silence. "We are moving," "Up." Thor got of his plank bed with one jump. "I guess that means they finally have an insight, right?," he spoke up a bit uncertain. "I mean they couldn't keep us in this cells forever! They need our help, they need US!"
What if he was exactly right at the moment? Maybe this prison was going to be attacked! At least he would get back his weapon to defend the people he thought. "Everyone, get up! Now!", he started to shout out loud to the others. "We're under attack. Prepare to fight!" Some thunderbolts started to swirl around his arms and hands and even his eyes begun to glow - but that was all that happened. It seemed like the humans from Earth had learned how to quash the powers of gods. That wasn't good. It meant that he had neither a weapon nor his natural powers.

"We are moving," "Up."
"I guess that means they finally have an insight, right?," "I mean they couldn't keep us in this cells forever! They need our help, they need US!" "Everyone, get up! Now!" "We're under attack. Prepare to fight!"
Gamora also shot upright on her prison cell bed as she pointed a strikingly concerned, curious glance between Mantis and Thor. Though the God of thunder jumped the gun and was immensely itching for action, Gamora knew they had to be smart and use their brains right now. Especially since they were are unarmed. Furthermore, she trusted Mantis' body language more than Thor's assumptions and right now Mantis did not appear to be in a stressful state.
"No, being an idiot is going to get us all killed," Gamora remarked with slight frustration in the Asgardian's way, "We don't even know what we're dealing with, let alone what's even going on other than the fact that we're surfacing." Gamora got up from the bed and walked over to the glass of her cell. Placing both hands on the glass, she addressed Mantis directly, "Is there anything else? Can you pick up on any emotions going on within the Raft? Mantis?" Gamora questioned Mantis as she braced for any kind of answer.

Except for the interviews, Bruce had been rather inactive for the last time of their stay. He was not exactly deep into thoughts or even panic, like Tony still seemed, but, instead, just out of ideas. So he guessed that all he could do for now was wait. Anyways, when suddenly Mantis spoke up again, claiming that they were moving, Bruce got up from his mattress as well. He was far from being in a panic, trusting in Mantis' abilities to sense dangerous situations, but still slightly alarmed. Holding onto the wall as if expecting everything around them to shake soon, he remained quiet, just as before, listening.

Tony was still strained inside, probably even visible on the outside to those who would pay attention. Nevertheless, he made an effort to keep his features as normal as possible. Unfortunately, he wasn't the best at hiding his emotions.
Unless everyone else, he remained sitting on the bed and looking downwards when Mantis claimed the raft to start moving; even when it actually started moving. All that left him was a quiet sigh, rather of annoyance. Well, at least finally something was happening. He doubted it would be an attack though, but Thor was just- well, Thor. Shaking his head slightly, Tony returned to his task of watching the ground while holding his head, just waiting for the situation to happen. Everything was better than being alone with your thoughts, fears, a deadly secret, and a patchwork bunch.

As usual, Mantis didn't seem to be much phased by the circumstance they found themselves in. Used to having only her mind to occupy her, she still easily slipped into her own little world. She was swaying lightly from side to side as one of Peter's songs played in her head, one hand lightly grasping the other in front of her torso, when Gamora pulled her back to reality.
"Is there anything else? Can you pick up on any emotions going on within the Raft? Mantis?"
She stopped humming, trying to pull a serious face. Still learning from the short time she'd had to observe people, it came off as more of an exaggerated impression of a serious face. "That's not how it works," she said in a childish 'duh' tone. "I have to touch the person."
But she could sense when a living thing was near, and her antennae lit up now with the presence of new lifeforms entering the cells. She stepped to the glass of her cell, pressing her hands and nose against it. "Ooo, tiny little baby bugs." She watched them march in a neat, straight, organized line toward the glass of Tony's cell and form into the symbol that she'd seen on Tony's chest. "They are like little dancing soldiers. So adorable!" she said with a little hop and clap.

(Hope via ants) Right after landing, ants had started to make their way from the inside panels of the Milano and down the landing gear, their tiny size and their coloring against it making them invisible unless one happened to be standing right in front of the landing gear, staring directly at it. Thankfully, as the ants disappeared into the inside panels of the Raft, everyone's attention was on the visitors coming down the ramp, particularly the galactic fugitive that was probably still number one on Earth's Most Wanted list. Hope had taken advantage of Ross and his guards' distractions of disarming them and guiding them to his office to take care of a few tasks before they reached his office and settled in for a chat. First, she'd sent crazy ants to short-circuit the audio cable of the cells. Having watched the surveillance of the Raft, Tony and his team had had no idea they were being listened in on. Knocking out the visual would have been too obvious and to their luck, the audio had already appeared to sometimes be glitchy, so she hoped it finally going out wouldn't be too much of a red flag. At the worst, they might send someone into the cells area to fix it. Maybe that would clue Tony in on the fact that they were being listened in on. If not, she'd use the ants to tell them. But to be cautious and with not much time to spare, she'd keep her initial message short to alert them to her team's presence so that they could be alert and ready. As the crazy ants short circuited the audio, she'd sent the fire ants on the path inside the walls of the Raft that led to the cells. The image from the cameras aimed at each cell stopped about a foot away from the bottom of the cell. To be safe, Hope had them stop three feet in front of Tony's cell. She had them form the image of Tony's arc reactor, the triangle in the center holding still while the circle around it kept moving for a couple seconds, partially to show off, but mostly to be sure the movement would capture and draw someone's attention to them before she had them start to form letters. In an organized manner, they moved to start forming letters: MISS ME They quickly reformed into the next line: SNARK? Hope's nickname for Tony gave away who was sending the message, not that the fact it was being presented by ants didn't already make that obvious. She had them form one last word: STANDBY

"No, being an idiot is going to get us all killed," "We don't even know what we're dealing with, let alone what's even going on other than the fact that we're surfacing." Thor understood what Gamora wanted to tell him and calmed down. "I just hope you'll never call me an idiot again," he mumbled. "Also you sound a lot like my brother..." But Gamora didn't care about him any longer. She gave her attention to Mantis now. "Is there anything else? Can you pick up on any emotions going on within the Raft? Mantis?" "That's not how it works," "I have to touch the person." Great! So they could just hope that it was no bad sign...
"Ooo, tiny little baby bugs." "They are like little dancing soldiers. So adorable!" Baby... bugs? What was she talking about? Did she go nuts? The God of Thunder tried to focus his eyes on the point Mantis was looking at. Indeed. There were ants. "Bruce! Tony! Do you see them? Mantis is right."

"That's not how it works," "I have to touch the person."
Right, Gamora thought inwardly as Mantis was in the midst of picking up on other clues to what exactly as going on. Suddenly, ants flooded the outside realm of their cells as they began to form words on the ground for everyone to see. Gamora watched in awe, reading out every word in her head as they ants formed them. Incredible, she thought to herself. And at that moment, she knew that the cavalry had come to save them from their holds.
"Bruce! Tony! Do you see them? Mantis is right."
"Of course she is," Gamora interluded in an impressive manner before looking around at everyone else who was absolutely gobsmacked in the moment, "Looks like our rescue team has finally showed up." Gamora stated with pride. Her heart began to race within her chest, hoping - no, knowing that Peter was beside them all, waiting for her. She couldn't wait for the moment in which she would see him again, they were so close.

Tony had been so deep in annoyance that, at some point, he had stopped listening to the conversation around him at all. But then something he heard from the back of his attention made him look up again after all.
"Ooo, tiny little baby bugs.""They are like little dancing soldiers. So adorable!"
At first, Tony thought that the bug lady was going completely nuts now - great timing, really - but then he noticed actual bugs nearing his cell. Or more like... ants. A slight smirk that immediately turned him back to his old self appeared around his lips as they started to form into the arc reactor symbol on his chest. His eyes remained on them to not miss any message or instruction that might follow. Such a poser you are, Tony thought, still smirking, and with that, not particularly, meaning the ants but the lady who sent them. Well, that was at least something they had in common, showing off.
As soon as words started to form, especially the nickname Hope kept using for him, Tony shook his head, still smirking though. Deep down, he had known they wouldn't fail to find them and get them out somehow. At the instruction standby, his face turned more serious again though. Did they have a plan yet? They had a plan, right? Oh God, please let them have a plan. He sighed quietly.
"Bruce! Tony! Do you see them? Mantis is right."
What an idiot. Of course, they had all seen them by now. Thor was an idiot betitled in Tony's head rather though due to the fact that he actually screamed out these words. Again, Tony shook his head slightly, leaving it uncommented. But really, why not just invite the guards for a tea party?
"Of course she is,"
He threw Gamora a silent thank you with his eyes before, finally, speaking up again as well, watching the ants as they started their way back to wherever they had come from.
"Looks like our rescue team has finally showed up."
"About time. Soon, I'd have to have asked for a razor," he stated, back to casualty. "And I don't mean to get a shave." Yet, as casual as he acted, inside, Tony was still a mess, dealing with dark thoughts, fears, and said deadly secret. There was no way of knowing it back. He also was much more grateful for Hope and the others going to help them than he would admit right now.

Again, Bruce watched only in silence what happened around him, not so pessimistic anymore as soon as the ants showed up, leaving a message for them. There was hope. No, there was literally Hope on her way to rescue them. Thank God, they didn't just have to count on Tony here. He was brilliant, out of question, but also- well, he was Tony, proving by his last comment.

Mantis watched the ants march away, giving another small clap for their performance. Help was there and they'd be out of their floating prison soon. Mantis easily found her mental happy place that she often lived in.
Holding her hands slightly raised with hands folded before her, she lightly swayed as one of Peter's songs played in her head, patiently waiting for Team Bug Lady to get to them.

"Looks like our rescue team has finally showed up." Thor also felt a bit relieved. It was a proof that his brother had been able to team up with the others.
"About time. Soon, I'd have to have asked for a razor," "And I don't mean to get a shave." The God of Thunder looked at Tony, a confused look at his face. "You can use nearly everything for shaving - a knife, a dagger or even an axe. But for what else could you use your razors?" Even if they had worked together in the past the Asgardian still wasn't quite used to Stark's kind of humor and sarcasm.
But then he had to look at Mantis. That strange little Lady clapped her hands and now seemed to feel joy again. It was always a pleasure to watch her having fun and hear her laugh. So Thor couldn't help himself also starting to grin. Especially because of his sudden thoughts. "Hey, guys, what do you think? Would Loki and Peter and Rocket have get along well while my brother probably played his tricks on them and they grated on him in reverse?"

"Hey, guys, what do you think? Would Loki and Peter and Rocket have get along well while my brother probably played his tricks on them and they grated on him in reverse?"
Now that rescue was on it's way, Gamora began to feel slightly claustrophobic in the confinement that she was being kept in. Her chest began to tighten as her breathing grew a little thinner. The Angel Pirate's words did not bring her any sort of comfort in this moment. If anything, his words annoyed her immensely as she managed to keep herself together by a strand, " If he's anything like you, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bullet in his head already," Gamora retorted, knowing that Quill and Rocket don't have a thing for stupid. After letting that out, a blanket of endorphins coated her and she was finally able to relax after the anger that she had just released. "Sorry...," Gamora drew back slightly, knowing she had made Thor her personal punching bag. But what else was she supposed to do in this situation?

"You can use nearly everything for shaving - a knife, a dagger or even an axe. But for what else could you use your razors?"
Tony turned his head towards Thor, very very slowly and with his eyes, already in the movement, saying are you fucking serious? Without actually saying something then though, he shook his head and drew his attention back towards the ground. These people were just too much for him all at once, in a situation like this especially.
"Hey, guys, what do you think? Would Loki and Peter and Rocket have get along well while my brother probably played his tricks on them and they grated on him in reverse?"
Tony decided to ignore him completely this time. Instead, he let his eyes wander around, meeting with Gamora's for a short moment. At least someone seemed to share his annoyance.
"If he's anything like you, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bullet in his head already,"
And another silent thank you in his eyes at that. She truly had a point there.
"Sorry...,"
Yeah, well, she still had.

Bruce looked from one to the other and back to one while everyone kept the conversation going. About... razors. And Loki's attitude. He also watched the young woman with the antennas on her head for some moments before his eyes turned back toward the inside of his cell. With a quiet sigh, he allowed himself to sit down on the cot and do the only thing that made sense to him right now. Wait.

Mantis' little venture to withdraw into a peaceful mind-state was ruined by the others' seeming inability to find their own. It was easy for her, their situation almost holding a feeling of familiarity. She'd grown up a prisoner, so their situation wasn't all too different from the majority of what her life had been. But apparently, those unused to imprisonment did not handle it well.
She found herself observing, still with so much to learn about how people dealt with things and how those things caused them to react. The whirlwind of topics and emotions in just a few moments was dizzying. She had no idea how, or even if to contribute, so she remained a silent observer.

"If he's anything like you, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bullet in his head already," Well, that was blunt. But she apologized only a few moments later. Gamora's behavior - everybody's behavior inside these cells - showed their frustration about their passive role. All they could do for now was wait. Wait for the secret service people (or whatever these guys were called) to let them free or even talk to them again. Or wait for their own people, who were already on the spot, to get them out of these cells - no matter how. Thor turned to Gamora: "Hey, no sweat!" He didn't want her to feel guilty. And besides he was used to something much worse.
Then the God of Thunder drew himself up and looked around. "We have to trust the others. They'll get us out. And we should believe in these human beings. In the end they'll have to realize that we're the good ones and that they need our help! Soon we'll be out of these cells and smash Thano's face in!" After his try to motivate and cheer them up he stepped back to his pallet and lay back. All they could do for now was wait. And maybe he should try to wait in silence like most of them.

Gamora was wary on the believing in the human beings portion of the speech. Peter was the only human that she felt was genuinely good, let alone he was really the only human that she had ever hung around long enough to get to know. These humans they had encountered thus far had left a bad taste in her mouth, even if they seemingly wanted to help. "Let's get out of these cells first, then focus on the rest after," Gamora spoke cautiously as they awaited their rescue, highly hopeful that Peter was with them. A faint smile began to crack on her face at the thought of seeing him again.

"Let's get out of these cells first, then focus on the rest after,"
"Yes, please," Tony intervened the ongoing, very useless conversation at some point again after all, looking quite annoyed at everyone. "We all got it now that some of us are unable to sit still for a while, but would those please do the rest of us the favor to shut their mouths at least? Thank you." Usually, he had quite a hard time sitting still as well, but he had found himself in situations where he'd had no other choice, so he had learned this lesson an preferred if a certain God figur would make an effort to try the same.

Because she was so keenly observing, she was the first to notice movement on the floor outside Tony's cell.
"The tiny creatures are back," she said excitedly, watching their organized movements as they formed into letters.

(Hope via ants) Hope had sent out a short message to give Tony and his team a heads-up that they were on their way. Like a perfect army, they marched into letters: ON WAY With attention surely have drawn to them by now, Hope had them reform to the next two words at a quicker pace: WITH ROSS The last was intended to inform them that they were still, surprisingly, cooperating with Ross and his team, which meant they were headed into a trickier improvising situation.

Finally even the God of Thunder noticed that the others wanted him to be silent. And so he did. He went back to his pallet and sat down. It was time to wait - again.
This time round it didn't take that long. It was Mantis' voice which broke the silence. "The tiny creatures are back," Thor started up from his pallet and stepped to the bars at the other end of his cell. It were only a few meter so he just needed two or three steps. Then he also saw the ants which created letters with theirs bodies again. "She's right," he said with a smile on his face. At last their friends managed to stir the pot.

"The tiny creatures are back,"
For the first time in a while, Tony didn't look up in annoyance at someone speaking up again but, instead, in relief. Finally, something was happening. At this point, he didn't even care so much what exactly, for the fact that they hadn't been able to do anything themselves was much worse to him than any bad happenings. He guessed.
"She's right,"
Tony read the first two words that the ants had formed in another moment of relief but then sighed at the message following rather quickly. Of course, they would be in company, with Ross at that. Just great. But, well, that was still far better than waiting for nothing to happen. He guessed.
He turned towards everyone else again once he got all the information they needed. "Alright, show time. Everyone, hold back as much information as you can. And with that, I mean, ANY- information," Tony stressed in especially Thor's direction. "Just leave the talking to me, got that?" His tone was not harsh but rather desperate.

Bruce remained silent once again, but was ready for whatever was going to come. Being imprisoned like this didn't exactly help him calm, and he still didn't fully trust Hulk whenever he might see a chance to come out.

Gamora's attention went from the door to Tony over the way he bossed them around. "Yes, because you are the definition of tact..." she said wryly, a round-about reminder to him to try to be because she'd noticed in her short time around him that his arrogant self-assurance rarely led to tact.
No accusatory sound to her tone, because that would make her a hypocrite. She knew that like him, she was prone to speak her mind rather than tip-toe around others' 'feelings', so she'd already made up her mind to try to hold her tongue as much as possible.

******Loki, Hope, Peter, Ross and the shrunken Milano with Drax, Groot, and Rocket enter from Mobile - The Raft - Office***
Surprisingly, elevator music even found its way into high security floating prisons. Thankfully, the guys had managed to keep from continuing their jibes once catching up with herself and Ross and the light, instrumental music had filled the awkward silence of the ride down.
Doors opening, Hope followed Ross out and down a corridor, Peter and Loki following behind. The soldier standing guard saluted Ross and unlocked the door without having to be asked, swinging it open for Ross and his visitors. Hope saw him look beyond her, the narrowing of his eyes in suspicion telling her it was Loki that had caught his eye, but as she started to walk past him, he did a double take at her and Hope saw the recognition registering followed by slight confusion as to why she was there, flicker of his eyes over what she wore only increasing it.
Heading a high profile company unfortunately came with a bit of limelight. In this particular instance, Hope tried to use it to her advantage by making eye contact while giving a smile of greeting as she passed. Just a simple acknowledgement. Making a person who was usually overlooked feel seen could go a long way. She hoped that they and Ross could come to an understanding that would get them all out of there, but just in case, making good with the gatekeeper was a little something to keep in her back pocket.
His professional composure cracked with a hint of a grin as he watched her pass, discreetly admiring her in the suit that was very different from the ones she was pictured in in business articles.
The last two entering his peripheral, he remembered himself, quickly composing and returning to keeping a sharp, suspicious eye on Loki as he and the man escorting him passed. He looked slightly distracted in thought once again as his eyes took in the escort's uniform and emblem emblazoned on it, looking as if he was mentally trying to place from which military they belonged.

Finally something happened. Hope entered their sector acompanied by the man called Ross - just like she had told them with the help of her little friends. And she hadn't come alone. She was closely followed by Peter Quill - and Loki! "Brother!" The God of Thunder couldn't suppress a short outcry showing his delight to see his little brother. But he bit his lip just a second later. Midgardian warriors were so different from the Asgardian ones. So he was sure that it would be better to keep silence for some moments longer and let some of the others speak up. They need some brains instead of muscles for the start of this conversation. And as far as he knew Tony and Bruce might know that guy better from their past. At last he even swallowed an answer when Loki tried to provoke him.
