Hey, don't duh me, you're not good at story-telling, I'm like, super lost in your life.
(said with love and care, but it is true, peter's life is just insane! but now, all the daddy issues he has made sense. perhaps his carefree way was the way he learned how to deal with all these things, considering how terrified he was.)
Okay, now I'm not at all that lost. Okay, yeah, I see it. But, how did you get out of there: Did Yondu just smuggle you out when his time to go came around? Did you do a whole baddass prison break?
... Did you ever meet your majesty never-shows dad...?
Me and Yondu broke out! Everybody says it's impossible to break out of Chitauri prison, but that's just 'cause they didn't have human ingenuity and a really pissed off Centaurian.
[ Because, uh, Chitaui prison is forever, Peter. You don't leave in one piece, normally. Though Quill won't add that part, Peter doesn't need to know just how scary it was. ]
But nope, I never met him. I even tried visiting Spartax a couple years later, and dear old dad didn't have "time" to see me, so they turned me away. So much for J'son of Spartax! Worst. Dad. Ever.
[ He pauses. ]
Uh, okay, Thanos is worse. But my dad's pretty high up there.
Nah, the Chitauri all got busted by Nova for siding with Thanos during the War. I had a couple of outstanding priors before, but they exonerated me after I helped stop the Promise.
[ He waves a hand like any of that made sense. I mean, it made sense to Peter, but you know. ]
Least my dad didn't start a galactic war. Low bar, though. 's why I can't ever win an argument with Gamora, she pulls out the Thanos card and all of sudden I'm handing over my last pancake 'cause she said something said. I always fall for it!
(he's learning that he can definitely dissect what quill is saying for the core message - chitauri sucked, thanos sucks, quill good dad.)
Wow, like, 'my dad is Thanos, give me the pancake'? Because, like, that's a great argument. I'd make her more pancakes. I'll make you some too, because I mean, sounds like you too deserve some.

(he wonders, but also, this feels more like a criminal prison than a state-issued prison. are the states in space? confusion.)
I mean, both seem pretty bad, dude.
