Thanos went and traded him to the Collector for his gem, the Collector wanted to own him because he was so rare.
So, he gave him Runner....then re-aged him to normal, and Runner wasn't very pleased with Collector since he was going to keep him as an item. They started fighting each other an Thanos left.
Wow, that is so profound...Runner, the distractible, ever-energetic free-spirit is reduced to a mere novelty in the eyes of the avaricious, pedantically hoarding Collector; analogous to the connection between point #7 and point #5 on the Enneagram. No, really...you'll see come the revolution...
Erm...don't 'spose anyone has any scans of Thanos delivering Runner to the Collector/Runner being re-aged? Heh...sorry. I'm such a parasite.

It’s just I’ve recently grown to like Runner, which is sort of a coincidence, 'cos I just found out he has this "friend" aura which makes people like him (um...that's called "charisma" =P). Guess it worked!
