┉ ❝ Not so far, ❞ Bruce said, the resignation in his tone indicating that he saw it as only a matter of time. The way his life seemed to be going lately, he couldn’t imagine not getting roped into some kind of space nonsense. ❝ I’m not sure I’d count space as better, though. ❞ Though for all he knew, it might be safer.
┉ Ah. That was really all he needed to understand her circumstances. He’d been in that sort of cage more than a few times before. Truth be told, he wasn’t completely sure he wasn’t still in one. He’d never really been sure whether he’d been found after his latest disappearing act, but considering that SHIELD had managed to keep him under surveillance for years without making him aware of the fact, he had to assume that he’d never really been on his own. Besides, SHIELD had nothing on the espionage capabilities of some of his erstwhile teammates. ❝ I’ve got a little experience with the implied kind of cage too, ❞ he admitted. ❝ It’s better than the alternative. ❞ An alternative which they absolutely would dare. He ought to know. It had been his cage, the last time they’d tried it. Maybe they’d learned something.
┉ ❝ It is, ❞ he said bitterly. ❝ But people seem to change their minds when a crisis comes along. ❞ Even when the one who was going to be doing the breaking wanted no part of it. Although to be fair, he wasn’t the one that actually did the breaking. Just the one who got to deal with the consequences afterwards. But there were more interesting things to focus on - like the fact that breaking things seemed to have caught her attention.
Nebula would always prefer the space but it was not up for everybody. Yet, she could definitely still see the appeal of Earth. She had been to a lot of planets and despite of its size, there seemed to be a lot of things going on, so much that a lot of people don’t even mind a blue cyborg walking around. They’ve seen worse and they are still standing, there was a respect to a certain extent she wouldn’t say out loud. She also knew they would probably wouldn’t stand for that long. “ At least, it’s wide enough for me to run away from those Green Lanterns. “
Apparently, the safety the facility offered was just another way to tell her she would always have target on her back but surprisingly, she could make peace with that. The target has always been on her back all along. Nebula nodded because Bruce was right. No matter how bad it seemed, it was a better treatment than what she got from her father. She was just seeing it now. She was realizing what he wanted was not what she wanted.
“ You mean, when it was useful. “ She scoffed because it was another thing she could relate. How many times did his father used her love and loyal to him for his own twisted plan for the entire universe. Anger started seeping to her again, eyes twitched for a brief moment before she pulled herself out of it. “ Breaking isn’t always a bad thing. “ Sometimes, you just got to put a hole in wall---or two---to feel better.
