Once more we get a look at Ayesha, who initially hires the Guardians to take down the Abelisk for eating her planet's power sources (an odd delicacy) and who has some seriously worrying ideas about supreme races and wiping out inferior ones. So basically, she's Hitler.

She's also got a treasure for the Guardians too: Nebula, in chains. They want to take her to Xandar to answer for her part in Ronan's attack on the capitol in the first film. She's the bargaining chip here for the Guardians stopping the Abelisk.

This in particular seems to amuse Gamora, who obviously takes pleasure in the annoyance of her adoptive sister - you would too if she'd tried to kill you several times last time...

But how did she end up here? Was she looking for one of Ayesha's secrets too?
