Seriously! It's like, hey, where is this even coming from, old man? You made plenty of mistakes already, why are you trying to tell me what to do?

[A beat.]

Yondu. He's my...the guy that... [This shouldn't be so awkward to say but it is.] He raised me, saved me from my dad. By kidnapping me from earth.

Well, did you think about maybe cause you are too rash?

[Wait.]

Hallucinations? [For a moment he thought he was real. He needs to be real. Peter's suddenly struck with a familiar sense of loss. Yondu was here, but he'd disappear again whenever...this was over.

Aw, you miss me, boy? Never thought I'd live to see the day. Well, figuratively speakin'.]

[David scoffs.]

Don't agree with my imaginary partner, or I'll punch you in his stead.

Yes, hallucinations. He is not here. This is just some drug bullshit. He's not even a fun trip, figures.

[But it's all on the light, flippant side. Seeing Martin is more emotionally compromising and disturbing than he wants to let on; he figures it's gonna be the same for--]

Did you say kidnapped from Earth?

[zunesareawesome]

Gotta reach me first. Which you can't, so I'm safe. [So there.]

Are you sure? How can you be sure? It looks so real? I can touch him. [He tries to reach out and poke Yondu's shoulder, and it feels real to him. Or maybe he's just delusional.

Really? You're just gonna poke me like I'm some sorta glass critter?]

Uh-huh. Abducted by aliens.

[jmencalisse]

Won't be in there forever.

The entire town is one big trip. And why the hell would he be in there with you?

[Abducted by... aliens.]

Or, you know, maybe in your case it's just your natural fucking insanity.

[zunesareawesome]

Do you know that you won't be trapped in that cell forever? Maybe they'll let me go and trap you.

...I don't know. [He wouldn't be. Peter looks at Yondu, and suddenly hopes, desperately hopes he doesn't disappear. Because he's not real, is he?

...he can't be.]

I'm tellin' the truth! What, you don't believe in aliens?

[jmencalisse]

What, are you saying you'd leave me here? That is a dick move.

["You're honestly surprised if he would?" Martin asks and David shoots him a look of daggers. Fuck off, fake Martin.]

Not really, no. Then again, this town has wizards and flesh monsters, why wouldn't it have aliens.

[zunesareawesome]

...I'd like to say I would, but y'know. I got people that would frown on that.

[Yondu gives him a grin.]

So I'm not insane, I'm just half-alien.

[jmencalisse]

So you are a dick who just pretends he isn't one for other people.

I guess I'm getting to the point where I just shrug and run with half-alien, sure, why not.
