[ If there's anyone who's earned the right for that particular jab — it's Nebula, who'd been forced into the leadership role by the others around them. She never particularly wanted it, capable surely but she didn't have the right tools. Rocket said he was the one with emotionalistical issues, it was all of them.

With all the complications it holds, more deeply stinging to him (or so she thinks), she'd follow his lead in the matter. ]
