Dust was volatile shit. Sure, it made the user invulnerable and stronger than Hercules, but it also left a guy wrung out and nauseated – and left them with a fifty-fifty shot of craving another fix. There were a couple of Ravagers who got hooked on the stuff that Peter remembers; they weren't Ravagers for very long, either because their addiction got to be too much and forced Yondu to kick them out, or because they chased that high too often and overdosed on the junk.
The successful dealers never touched the stuff, but it seems Cryon is desperate enough to risk it. And if he does, this day is going to get a whole lot worse for Peter and Gamora.
Peter hits the trigger on his mask, holstering both guns. He puts up both hands as he steps forward. ]
Hey, dude. [ Slowly, insistently, but not unkindly. ] Put that stuff down. You know you don't wanna use it.
