WHO: Nebula and Tony
WHAT: The injured needs a little bit of seeing to
WHERE: Tony's place
WHEN: The day after the full moon

She woke that morning feeling better than she had in what felt like years, though she knew it had only been a matter of days in the grand scheme of things. The initial fears of losing her memories when the illness had first set in had been taken care of by Tony with his help and a diagnostic run she had been able to maintain those parts of her systems. Now she needed his help once more.

Not because she was worried for the software that helped to keep her systems in order, but rather then hole in her shoulder, torn into her thanks to her run in with the werewolf the night before. She had taken stock of the injury, and done what she could to limit the damage done, which mostly included fitting her arm into a sling so she did not move it and pull it apart more than it was already. Her primary concerns the night before had been for her sister and Quill.

Today was a new day though and she needed to maintain herself as well if she was going to be able to continue keeping those she cared for safe. So she made her way to Tony's in search of his help once more.

"Is it something you can fix?" She asked, not because she doubted Tony, but rather making conversation - it had been one thing to sit quietly with him in those first days when they did not truly know one another. But they had known each other for years now, and Nebula liked Tony, and his company. And that meant she would make conversation with him while trusting his abilities to help her with her various parts.

She was glad to hear that Tony had at least seen his daughter before. It was good - she did not like that this version of him would never have the chance to know here as she had. "I also have video of her." She added - lifting the hand on her good arm to her temple. "If you would ever like to see, I can show you." She told him, memories were files after all and he had helped her keep those - just like he was helping her now with her shoulder.

But the painting had been finished and the final touches were ready for her shoulder and she nodded. True emotion, things that were difficult to put into words, were hard for her and for Stark it seemed and she would not press him to continue speaking about his daughter when that was something so far outside of their current reality.

"Thank you," She nodded, ready to have the work finished so that they could both get back to their lives.

"Yeah?" Tony looked up, curious and clearly interested. Sometimes he wondered if he was too eager about it, if he should let go of what might have been and be more focused on what was.

Not that he wasn't focused on the now, he was. He loved the family he made her maybe more than he was willing to admit. Maybe it was alright to keep both. "I'd like that. Some other time though. This week's been hard enough." At least that was something he could admit.

"Anyway," he said, pulling his goggles down and leaning in. "Be real still for a second."
