Who: Nebula and Gamora
What: Sisters
Where: Another late night angst run turned rescue
When: Late Thursday/Early Friday


It had taken time, but Nebula had allowed herself to believe that she was no longer on Paramater and that Tony Stark was indeed alive, the how of it all had not yet illuminated itself but she would find the answers. Until then she followed Stark through the door he'd entered the world they had found themselves on and back into the land where he was now living.

She did not understand any of it, not how she had been transported nor how he had found her, or this world where he now lived. And despite being offered a place to sleep Nebula had found herself out on the street.

The night air was still, and the local network quiet in a way she was not used to of places where people lived, there was so little there on the network to connect to, none of the vivid and vibrant things she might normally find on other planets and in other worlds. Here there was only the communications the residents choose to share with one another. And none were all that interesting or worth her time exploring.

Nebula was on her way back to the house they had come through, if she had entered that way then surely she could leave it that way too, back through the door and returned to Paramater and to the current mission, not here where she would be no good at all to the Guardians or Gamora.

What had begun as an idle walk, became one full of purpose when she decided that the way in must be the way out too and she made her round back toward the house when she stopped there ahead of her in the street was someone she would recognize in the middle of the night, in the middle of a haze, in the brightest light. It was another impossibility, she could not be here, it was too convenient, too much to hope for. And yet, "Gamora?"

It was a first step, in all of this, in getting Gamora back. This hug. It was a gesture though, something that was new for Gamora, the shift in their positions was strange, it was not something she had ever expected, and yet now here she was and she would not let this slip through her fingers.

She could have stayed with Gamora once, it would have meant staying with the Guardians too, something she had not yet been prepared for. And she had turned down the offer when it had been extended to her. And she wondered now if maybe it was something she should have done, if she could have spared them both this or if it would have happened the way it had regardless. The variables were too great, no matter how many times she ran them through her mind she never came out with a satisfactory answer.

To wonder was a ridiculous waste of her time. All she had was the truth of what they had done.

"Not yet." There would be an answer to this, Nebula knew, they would find a way out in time. But for now they were stuck here. She trusted Tony when he told her they were stuck, just as she trusted that he would no doubt be part of finding the answer and the way back to their lives.

"Yes." She nodded. "There are others. People I knew. Some I have never met. All trapped here as well."

She couldn't remember the last time that Nebula had extended any kind of physical affection, any affection at all really. Not that Gamora could blame her. Things between them had changed, they weren't little girls anymore, but she still wanted a relationship with his sister far closer than they'd ever had. Thanos had come between them, used them against each other and Gamora wanted to repair that damage and to see this Nebula did too was almost unbelievable.

The hug was short, but treasured and she wouldn't forget it in a hurry.

If they were stuck it meant that they were at least together, Gamora wasn't going to just suddenly vanish back to where she'd come from. So it was almost a relief really, for now. Although they couldn't stay there forever and when that came up, they'd handle it then.

"What people?" Gamora asked. She still hadn't let go of Nebula's hand, holding it gently in her own, a point of contact and something to keep them both together. "Is there a ship?" Because a ship would feel safe, would give them shelter even if they were stuck there.

The moment of affection passed, even for Nebula it was still new. It would take time for it to feel the way it had once, though even then it had been stilted and strange for them. To have been at odds for so much of their lives, finding their way back had been a journey, and Nebula was not fool enough to think that the same would not be true now.

For now though they had this to deal with, the reality of this place and their new situation. "Avengers. Some of them fought on Earth against Thanos. Though they do not remember it." It was confusing, to realize that the people here did not seem to recall the things she had, like they had not lived it even though Nebula had seen it with her own eyes, experienced it with them in some cases.

"They have been pulled from an earlier time." Much the same way that Gamora had been after everything. "And brought here, for some reason." That she was still trying to understand. Why these people, why this place, why now. And why so many who did not know their own futures.

"There are pieces of ships that I have seen. None whole or functioning." But they could fix one, the two of them.

Growing up they'd been sisters in more than just name, the two little girls had played together and it had felt like having a real family. Gamora wondered if it might feel like that again, if in time they'd be back there in a new and grown up way. All she knew was that she hoped they would be.

It seemed like this place was relatively safe, what with people from the battle on their side and it so small. Gamora nearly always felt safe anyway, she could look after herself. "Oh so I'm not the only one now who doesn't remember," Gamora said and she was a little bit pleased to consider it. She'd spent a lot of time thinking about what she didn't know, what she'd missed and how now she'd never live it.

Because now she knew, even returned to her own time it wouldn't play out as it was supposed to. Her future was forever altered no matter what. Which considering she wasn't alive in the time Nebula was from might have been for the best.

"We'll have to take a look at them. Do you have shelter?"

She nodded, Nebula did not think any of them would do them any good, but they would look and see what they could do with them, if there was anything to be salvaged or repaired and made whole so they could take them out of this place. That was for another day, today there was just the two of them, making sure Gamora knew she was safe and that this was not a trap or a trick, the Nebula had feared it might be when she had first found Tony.

"I was offered a place with Tony." And Rogers, they were cohabitating here in this place, odd when they had seemed so distant with one another in her time. But they had been here living their lives perhaps making peace in ways they had not been able to in the past.

"But there are houses." She explained, holding out a hand around them to the surrounding buildings. "We can take one for ourselves." The space with Tony had been welcome, she would have stayed there of course, been grateful for it - but if she had the option of staying with Gamora then she would. "Make it our own."

It would be strange, perhaps. The freedom to live together in a place of their own choosing, not in the cramped confines of a ship, but in a home - a Terran home perhaps, but one none the less. This was not something she had ever envisioned for herself or her sister, even after playing over her options for the day that she finally tracked down Gamora again, this had not been what she had seen.

Nebula had a place and yet she was going to give it up to make a place with her. Gamora squeezed her hand, absolutely still not ready to give it up. A house together, something to make their own. Even if this was on a planet of some kind and felt all wrong? Getting to have that with her sister actually made up for it.

Thanos was dead and that meant her purpose was gone, Gamora hadn't known what to do with herself alone and now here they were, back together. "Make it our own," Gamora agreed. For the night they could stay with Tony and then in the morning they could see about something for themselves.

Gamora held her sisters hand all the way home.
