Typically when Nebula disappeared for a few days at a time, she felt a certain sense of relief. Escaping the incessant talking and bustle that came with the new residents meant that Nebula could recharge, gather whatever intelligence her informants had managed to collect, and check in on the small spaces she'd arranged for escape plans.
This outing seemed to be fraught with a quiet tension. Having Gamora come along messed with Nebula's plan and having to put the extra thought into how to behave for her sister meant that Nebula would probably need some time away after her time away. It wasn't personal; in fact, she and Gamora were getting on relatively well lately. But the awkwardness of not entirely knowing how to act around one another took a toll. Both were trying to be sisters and Nebula suspected that they both realized they each fell short at the task.
Nebula tried to remind herself that the only way to improve the situation was to work on it. That didn't mean she could stop the mild funk she found herself in. Before take off, she re-secured the blaster in her right boot and the electrified knife in her left. Small habits like these gave her a sense of security that typically evaded her. Then, Gamora sitting in the seat beside her, she kicked the ship into gear and took off.
For her part, Nebula was quiet at the start of the ride. Driving was a pleasant distraction. For the first time, she realized how quiet it was and wondered if she should have brought music along. She immediately blamed Quill for the thought. After a few minutes, she said, "We're headed to Contraxia," without glancing over at Gamora.
