When Yondu and Nebula do their desperation move and take out all the Sovereign ships using Nebula as a battery (there’s the battery theme again!), I’d noticed that one of the blasts almost hits Drax and Mantis …
But I didn’t notice that Mantis’s hand actually gets burned, and she is obviously in pain.
Poor l’il bug! (And that’s another reason why Drax reacted angrily to the near miss, besides almost getting fried – he was being protective of Mantis!)
She doesn’t flinch away, though; she keeps holding Ego, though she must be having to concentrate through her pain, until the rock hits her.
