Rocket's face stiffened, and he instantly turned into a well-behaved child.
He feared no one but Nebula.
Everyone else tolerated his rudeness out of consideration for Apocalypse, and because Rocket looked like an eight- or nine-year-old child.
Only Nebula never indulged him. Rocket could not beat her, and every argument ended with him getting thoroughly roughed up.
He had practically been traumatized.
Apocalypse said to Black Panther, "His name is Rocket. He comes from a star system thousands of light-years away and does not understand Earth's etiquette. I hope you will not take offense."
Black Panther's heart tightened. As expected of the Apocalypse King—even a child by his side came from thousands of light-years away.
Although Wakanda was advanced, it could currently only operate within the Solar System. Traveling thousands of light-years away was absolutely impossible.
"Apocalypse King, you are too courteous. All who come are guests. If there is anything Wakanda has not done well, please feel free to point it out."
Nick Fury stepped forward. "Prince T'Challa, I am Director Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is Tony Stark, Iron Man—I believe you know him. This is Vision, a life created by the Apocalypse King. And this is Wanda, also known as the Scarlet Witch."

"Oh, I guess so."
As everyone chatted and joked, the anti-gravity platform soon carried them
