❝oh darling we are not friends❞

Nebula. Space Pirate. Mercenary. Conqueror.

[janette-porter]

“Yeah I’m supposed to be here. Promise. Totally.” She mumbled with the arrow between her teeth. “Oh my god!” She pointed to nothing, “Is that Iron Man!” Kate tried to stumbled away but ended up tripping.

[spacepiratex]

Nebula was about to tell the girl to relax, that she was not here to bust her. Quite the contrary, she was trespassing too. But before she could put the girl’s mind at ease she tried the worst distracting maneuver ever and Nebula watched her trip. ❝Is clumsiness a required thing if you want to wear purple and shoot arrows?❞ Nebula asked before walking towards the girl, ❝need a hand? Also does that ever work? Who wants to see Iron Man?❞

gamora:

Gamora smiled softly watching her sister, as she got better at reading her feelings through her actions. Mostly she loved to tease her with such emotions that they were deemed unnecessary by their horrible tyrant of a father” Ooo I’m so scared doubt they’d believe you, Maybe Quill would but than thats hardly a problem.” She smirked at her sisters comment “ now i know we aren’t allowed in that business anymore Sister Dear, though i suppose we are out of reach of Nova Prime for the time being. And really hugged me? some might think you actually care for me My darling Sister. Stark has a thing for us Space girls thats for sure. Tony is ever so sweet to his friends, plus he isn’t all that bad to look, not to mention he has very pickable qualities”    

❝Oh please sister, they will believe me❞ she said with a small hand gesture, ❝they’ve seen enough of you to know how soft you actually are❞ Nebula teased her. In another life they would’ve grown up teasing each other and not fighting each other. However horrible being stuck in this new reality at least it was given them a chance to be family. ❝Ohh Quill❞ Nebula said in a low tone and wiggled her eyebrows, ❝is something finally happening between you two? I’m shocked, who could’ve seen it coming❞ she said with a sarcastic voice. As far as she was concerned the so called Star-Lord did not deserve her sister, she was too good for him. ❝At this point I wish the Nova Corps were involved❞ she let out a sigh, she had not come here to talk about their father coming to end them all. ❝He’s so... soft❞ Nebula crinkled her nose, ❝too much of a good guy for me. I do enjoy watching him work though.❞

richard:

    “ well, i used to be.  or i was back in our universe. ”  richard looks over at nebula for a moment, trying to decide if he needs to worry about this.  but she doesn’t seem to be causing any trouble right now.  “ yeah, you’re probably right, though. ”  

For a moment she doesn’t know what to say. Well she knows what to say, but she is not that kind of person. She doesn’t do the kind of conversations that lead to thinking about what they had left behind, what was lost, what they might never recover. ❝I’m always right❞ she jokes, because she is that kind of person. ❝Do you have a ship? Stark told me to keep mine ready in case we needed it, so...❞

[spacepiratex]

riley:

    “ no, i don’t do hospitals. ”  riley groans again at the effort of pushing herself up into a sitting position.  “ i heal kinda fast anyway. ”  riley cocks her head, takes in the woman’s appearance.  reminds her a little of mystique.  “ thanks for your help, actually. ”

❝Glad I made the right call then❞ Nebula said walking to the other side of the room, during her space piracy days, she had also avoided anything official. Now she wondered what the girl had been up to. ❝Fast healing? That is such a cool ability❞ useful, she had meant to say. ❝No problem. I’m glad I could help❞ she shrugged, she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. ❝Do you want something to eat? Are you a local?❞ Nebula was not used to small talk.

[spacepiratex]

gamora:

Gamora smiled softly listening to her sister “ oh please you like him because he is like your little nephew. someone for you to spoil lets be honest, plus he is innocent and sweet.” She read right through that dignified expression and her fake unlike of her new family. “ Being a good person huh? sounds like you were pulled into this just as i was. Father has been seen messing with powers he shouldn’t, which leaves it up to us to stop him by all means possible” She sighed  before laughing “ my goodness sister you left that very open ended, though I can’t say I’m any better i have this wonderful apartment yet i haven’t settled down into an earth job. I guess still are pretty similar huh?” 

Nebula would never admit to Gamora that she was right. So instead she just rolled her eyes and smiled. It was unbelievable that the hunt for their “father” is what was making them closer than ever. But if there was something stronger than the bond they had developed out of fear and loneliness, it was the share hatred for the person that had ruined their lives. ❝If you tell anyone about it, I’ll tell them you actually love to dance❞ she said wiggling her eyebrows. Nebula did love that stupid twig. But only because it was impossible to feel anything but love for it. ❝Oh come on Gamora! You didn’t even try to guess❞ Nebula pouted, ❝honestly if you had said assassin for hire I would’ve hugged you❞ she said in a deadpanned tone. ❝Don’t worry though, it’s nothing exciting❞ Nebula shrugged, ❝Stark just asked me to have my spaceship ready. Wait, how are you paying for this place?❞ she asked with curiosity.

loki:

♚ | ❝ How … tragic. ❞ loki replies, trailing off in thought. and he crosses his arms, tilting his head, before replying, ❝ weapons are boring. anything can be a weapon. but there are so much better things to use technology for besides weapons, and even weapons that aren’t technological are more interesting. such as - ❞ he grins, and from his fingertips extends a small flame of green fire. ❝ magic … the supernatural … the like. but, all that aside, you may call me loki. ❞      

Nebula purses her lips at this words, anything can be a weapon, or anyone. She was raised to be a weapon, and later literally turned into one. But that doesn’t matter, because now she’s going to help hunt down the person responsible for ruining her life. She doesn’t say a thing and gives a shrug in agreement.  ❝You have magic❞ Nebula says in surprise, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips, ❝wait, Loki? As in the prince of Asgard? Well I didn’t know I was sitting next to royalty❞ Nebula teases, if she had not been taken from her family, she would’ve been royalty too. ❝I’ve always imagined you would be older❞ from the stories she heard while in space. ❝So tell me Loki, what would you use technology for? I’m curious now...❞

[spacepiratex]

gamora:

It was strange to be sitting here across from her sister, without the fear of falling into a fight or being forced to deal with the unimaginable pain that come from their lives. Despite all that she had done to the women before her, she still considered her to be family, though Gamora would never admit it, she made a promise the day she found out Nebula’s true feelings about all they’d survived. No one not even herself included would ever touch or hurt her sister again. She chuckled “ First of all i didn’t really crash i was knocked out of orbit by this stupid convergences of realities, and second you know you love them as much as i do And finally how did you end up here huh?” She lifted one of her eyebrows in questions” and who did you kill so that you could steal their place Sister Dear?”

It wasn’t going to be easy, specially because Nebula was still coming to terms with it. But maybe this a chance for them to repair their relationship, and finally get the family they deserved. Nothing like hunting down the person who made their lives hell, to bring them together. Nebula made a face at her words, ❝I only love the tree, and that’s because it’s impossible not to...❞ she said with a dignified expression. She was still getting used to the collection of individuals her sister had became attached to, and yet she was willing to kill anyone who meant to harm them. But she was not letting anyone find out. ❝I was being a good person helping the Nova Corps with the hunt, you know with the condition of being the one that gets to kill Father... and then I was here❞ Nebula shrugged. ❝Relax I didn’t kill anyone, but I love you for thinking that❞ she smiled at her sister, ❝this rich guy said I could stay at his place on one condition. I’ll let you guess what it was❞ she said with amusement. 

[unconqverable]

     for a moment, the only sound riley can make is a pained groan.  she remembers taking a pretty decent beating, but after that her memory’s kinda shot.  all she knows is that everything fucking hurts.  “ where the hell am i? ”

[spacepiratex]

❝A safe place❞ Nebula had turned off her appearance modifying device in hopes that the girl would feel safer around her. Blue skin raised as many eyebrows as wings. ❝How are you feeling? I don’t know much about your physiology, so I tried my best. I wasn’t sure if you wanted a hospital. We can call a professional if you want...❞

[novvaprime]

      “ so — are there rules here about just…going to space ??  because i kind of miss it. ”  his fingers tap against the top of his helmet where it sits in his lap.  what’s holding him back, really ??  if he was being honest, he’d admit that it’s a kind of fear.  that if he goes to leave he won’t be able to, and it’s pretty obvious what memories that will bring back. 

[spacepiratex]

To say that she had a rocky relationship with the Nova Corps would be an understatement. Xandar used to be one of her favorite places in the galaxy, for both fun and business. Nebula eyed the helmet on the man’s lap and took a seat next to him. ❝I haven’t heard anything about rules, and people always make a point to remind me of rules...❞ Nebula said with a shrug, ❝but I think you are a pretty good authority when it comes to space rules handsome. I don’t think anyone would mind...❞

[spacepiratex]

loki:

♚ | ❝ Ding ding ding, you got one right. ❞ loki replies, a wide smile of clear sarcasm coming across his features, only to fall as he sighs. ❝ interesting … very interesting … of course, yes, asgard has much more advanced technology, but we also don’t possess ideas that midgardians do … since you’re not of this planet either, and with the mention of spaceships and stations, you probably have some technology more advanced than … this, correct ?? ❞    

Nebula had always steered clear of Asgard when it came to her criminal activities, but she had visited once or twice for the scenery. A lovely place full of righteous people, she had hated it. But that would not be a good thing to say to the Asgardian in the table next to hers. ❝That’s correct, but once again I agree with you. What terrans use technology for is unbelievable. I mean a game?❞ she scoffed. ❝But then again I was raised by someone who used technology for nothing more than weapons❞ she shrugged. ❝I’m Nebula by the way❞ she offered her hand. 

[spacepiratex]

gamora:

Gamora smirked and sat across from her wayward sister smiling “ You know i’m starting to grow on you Nebula, and here i think we are just one step away from living with each other again..only this time no fights to the death” Gamora rolled her eyes at her sisters notion of being a huge threat” You and I both know it’s been a long time since either of us took up our threat mantels darling Sister, so You got me on the third try, I think you might be loosing your touch. My Ship crashed just outside the city line hence why i’m here plus you wouldn’t believe the type of Earthlings i have already ran into Sister. Some of them are quiet powerful, and some are crazy but we will need all the help we can get to take father down.”

Nebula groaned loudly and wrinkled her nose, it still hurt to think back, to remember how things had been. But even if she would never say it out loud, specially not to Gamora, it had been having her by her side that had helped Nebula survive. They had been raised to believe that love was a weakness, but now Nebula realized that she had always loved her sister. It had been a love born out of being the last of their kind, of being on their own. In each other they had found family. ❝You crashed your ship? See what hanging out with those losers did to you❞ Nebula teased. ❝Oh tell me about it, people around here are unbelievable. And to think I used to believe I had seen the lowest point of the galaxy in Xandar❞ Nebula shook her head. ❝Well I’m staying at a lovely penthouse in Metropolis if you ever want to visit❞ she said heading towards the couch.

loki:

♚ | ❝ Midgardians are the oddest beings i’ve ever encountered; asgard is incredibly different from down here. ❞ loki comments as he once again attempts at the game on his phone and miraculously fails. he looks at the woman with a raised brow, finally putting the device down and clearing his throat. ❝ if you’re not midgardian - or terran, i guess - then what are you ?? … are you of jotunheim ?? ❞   

❝I’ve ran into a few terrans in space, and like I said before, I have no idea how they survive. It’s like they have no regards for their safety❞ Nebula said furrowing her brow. ❝Home to the Frost Giants? No. But it would’ve been awesome❞ Nebula said with a shrug. ❝I’m from Luphom, on the Andromeda Galaxy❞ she pursed her lips, ❝but I didn’t really grew up there. I was raised on spaceships and space stations. My entire life I’ve lived on the stars❞ it sounded much better than it had been. ❝I’m assuming you are Asgardian. Your technology is far more advance than anything here right? Do you get bored often around here?❞

[spacepiratex]

gamora:

Gamora scoffed at her sister before moving to let her in” You’re always bored and I’m in not mood for fighting so how about we do the normal sisters thing and just relax together.” as she shut the door she couldn’t help but smile a bit too herself at how far they had come.” So tell me how did you find out where i lived?” 

Nebula rolled her eyes, she was going to pretend that she didn’t really liked Gamora’s suggestions, possibly throughout the rest of the night. But she was glad. It had been Gamora the one that had given her the strength to keep going, and to break free when the time had come. ❝Sure. Whatever❞ she said stepping into her sister’s apartment. ❝Gamora please❞ Nebula said in a teasing tone, ❝the Nova Corps considered me a Universal threat❞ she said with air quotes around the word universal, ❝finding out where you live was easy❞ Nebula lied, but her tone made it obvious. ❝People talk, and yes maybe the first green person I visited wasn’t you... but third time is the charm! Why did you chose this place anyways?❞

[svmnium]

           ‘ i am groot ! ‘ the small tree pulls at the newcomers pant leg. and for the FIRST time, that’s what he says is what he means, to introduce himself. 

[spacepiratex]

❝It’s me you twig❞ Nebula said with an exasperated tone. Out of all the Guardians, Groot was the only one she could stand. ❝I just don’t look blue... ugh, you don’t recognize me? Hold on❞ with a sigh she turned off the device that allowed her to change her appearance. ❝Better?❞

[burnededens]

♚ | ❝ Why do you midgardians insist on making things that only ANGER you ?? ❞ the question, albeit an odd one, makes no sense, until loki, clearly frustrated, looks at the phone in in his hand, and taps at a steady pace until the bird - no, a fish - falls to the bottom of the game. that’s when loki shows his phone off as an example: yet another flappy bird knockoff. ❝ look at this !! it’s impossible !! it isn’t even correct; fish don’t fall, fish float, so why can’t this  d a m n e d  fish stay up by itself ?! why do you midgardians do this to yourselves ?! ❞

[spacepiratex]

She had been encouraged to go outside and keep an eye on things, or something like that. Nebula had just nodded and pretended like she had cared about what her recommendations were. In all honesty she didn’t like this one bit, sure her current living accommodations were great, but taking time for ordinary things while Thanos was at large seemed like a waste of time. She had made her way to a coffee place, Nebula still didn’t understand what the fuss about the drink was about, but she liked the whipped cream the put on top. ❝I’m not midgardian❞ she said shifting in the chair so she could face the owner of the voice, Nebula had been sitting with her legs propped on top of the armrest of the chair. ❝But I agree with you kid, terrans have a habit of pursuing the things that harm them the most... I’m surprised they’ve lived this long❞  

[corruptedarkness]

“It should crime to wake someone up this early” Gamora grumbled getting up from her bed to answer the door. She had had a very long day and just wanted to rest. She opened the door looking right at the person “ Please tell me what i did to deserve you gracing me with your presence at 3 in the morning?”

[spacepiratex]

Nebula had always refused to find common ground with Gamora. Their relationship had always been rocky, but even if every inch of her body wanted to hate Gamora, Nebula had realized that she simply could not. Perhaps now that they had a common goal... and that was how she found herself knocking on her “sister”’s door at 3 in the morning. ❝I’m bored❞ Nebula said with a pout, something she mainly did to get a rise out of Gamora.
