Gamora who was listening to all this suddenly had an enlightenment. Even though she didn't believe that John could see the future but from the hints of John and Rocket she understood one thing.
"You stole the real orb and replaced it with a fake one." Gamora said.
"Yes I did because it was too dangerous to handle by any one of you. I know you want to steal the stone and hide it away from him. Me and you have the same goal." John said.
"How are you sure we have the same goals?" Gamora asked.
"Because your father is way too obsessed about it and wouldn't stop at anything to get all the stones together." John said.
"You know why he wants to hunt the stones?" Gamora asked with curiosity.
"Yes I do. I know he had been too much fixated in finding the stones since he started his 'cleansing' and I will be there to stop him. Don't worry about your father." John said. Gamora didn't say anything as she had seen how Victor and other two fought and she was happy that the stone was in the hands of powerful people now. She finally saw hope to stopping her father once and for all.
"So Peter want to make the call or want to debate with me on the orb?" John asked. Peter called Yondu as he didn't want to debate on it any more. Yondu soon appeared on the screen.
"Peter you have some balls to call me at this time after betraying the whole crew and leaving to snatch the whole money alone." Yondu said as soon as the call got connected.
"Yondu listen to me. That orb we have been searching for is a fake one. Ronan is looking for it. I want your help Yondu." Peter said.
"Why would I help you? You just betrayed the crew and now want our help because Ronan is looking for you. Hah.. Peter, you have a bounty on your head now."
"Because you don't want Stakar to know about the deal with Ego which you made decades you, Yondu." John said as he was standing right beside him when the call was made. Yondu could also see them but didn't pay attention as he thought they must his new crew which he hired.
"What? What did you say? How do you know about Ego? Are you him?" he asked.
"Do I look like a bearded old man. Yondu help Peter in this otherwise I don't mind spreading the information about your deal in the high table of the Ravagers. I am sure they would be delighted to know what you have done." John said.
"How the hell do you know of the deal. Did he send you to find Peter? Quill run away from him. He is dangerous." Yondu said now with anxiety in his face, because at the end of the day he had a soft spot for Peter. He looked at Peter like a son and was only acting tough all this time to train and protect him.
"Relax Yondu, do you think if Ego had hired me I would have called you. Just help Peter in this and the secret won't be out." John said.
"Who is this Ego?" Peter asked with more curiosity now as he understood that this Ego was a powerful being and Yondu was afraid of him.
"Nobody of importance." John said as he didn't want to pop the bottle of his father yet. There was time for that.
"Quill what is it that you want me to do? And you Mister you better keep your mouth shut otherwise I will find you and will kill you." Yondu said.
"Yondu keep your fake Ravager arrogance to yourself. I know all about you, from the slavery of Kree to having your own crew. It will be easy for me to kill you, just don't threaten me. I don't like being threatened." John said with a grave tone now as he really didn't like it.
Peter stopped Yondu from replying as he didn't want a war just because there was a misunderstanding between the two and asked Yondu to spread the information about the orb and it being with Gamora in Xandar.
Yondu was more confused now as this was the actual position of Peter and others and didn't understand why they gave away their actual position but since this was the deal he didn't reject but secretly made up his mind to assist him as he didn't want Quill to die.
Yondu decided that when Ronan comes for him, he would secretly take away Peter in all the commotion as he was sure there would be one when Ronan arrives. He also hoped that Ronan would be able to kill this new guy who knew about Ego as this was the chance to use Ronan to kill him.
Yondu finally came to know the person's name at the end of the call.
John Jameson.
