Space Drifters

En route to Xandar from the other end of the universe, Rocket and Groot just happen to be passing through Chitauri space. It's not uncommon to find bodies (or parts of them) floating about in these areas...but they certainly didn't expect to find somebody alive. Loki, on the other hand, was not expecting to be rescued by a mutant raccoon a talking tree. Still, it could be worse.
