Who: Nebula and Gamora
What: It's another trick
Where: Their house
When: October 6

She woke with a start, sudden and all at once, pushing up into a low crouch pressing her back up against the wall. A full night's sleep was not something she was allowed often, a part of Thanos' abuse and training. Nebula's heart was racing, as she looked around the room, it was not the space she had been given on Thanos' ship, the bed was new as well, and as she looked out the port into the expanse of space she saw a system she did not recognize.

What was Thanos planning now? Some new horror, a punishment for not waking on time, she didn't know. But she knew enough to know that it would not be good. She moved slowly, grabbing the first weapon she saw, clutching it on both hands as she hedged her way toward the door, fear coursing through her as she moved waiting for the surprise that she knew had to be coming.

Leaving the room it became obvious this was not Thanos' ship, and she knew that, she knew this wasn't his ship, this place was hers and yet she didn't understand it. Not fully. But she was hesitant to call out, she did not want to draw more attention to herself than necessary, needing to be invisible as much as she craved the attention that her father constantly denied her.

Nebula just wanted to know they were safe, that their father wasn't sitting there waiting to tell them everything they'd done wrong during this next lesson, if that's even what it was. But she didn't think there was a way they could do that, at least not unless they left the sort of safety of their little shelter so they would have to eventually.

When Gamora leaned against her Nebula wanted nothing more than to keep hiding right there in that space and no where else, where they were safe and together. And then she said it, so quietly that no one would over hear them and Nebula wanted that to be true so badly, to be free of their father and they could just be lost forever. Even when she knew it was impossible.

"I want to be lost like that," She agreed in that same quiet voice, "With you." She didn't want anyone else, just her sister - the only person in the entire universe she could find the ability to be strong for, Gamora was the only reason she could be strong, that she could fight and try and stay strong in the face of their father. And maybe if they were lost here together like this they could figure out a new way to be together, where they didn't have to fight.

Nebula's forehead was smooth and warm against her own and Gamora stayed there and they were connected, not alone. It was the sort of thing that would make Thanos want them to fight, he'd tell Gamora to train harder, to be the winner. But she didn't want to win, she wanted to stay right there with her sister forever. "Me too, Sister" she said seriously as she squeezed her hand.

Outside she thought she heard a sound and she jumped, getting a little closer so their shoulders pressed together. Gamora would be in such trouble for not being brave, if Thanos could see her, he'd take her to pieces for sure. She breathed in deep, looking for that calm numbness that helped her get through everything. Where there was no fear and no pain.

Carefully she peaked out, spying a knife on the counter top and she broke away to fetch it, moving fast. It wasn't a proper weapon, a kitchen tool instead but it would do.

It was a foolish thought really, that they could ever be lost like this together, out of the reach of Thanos. But that did not stop Nebula from having it, letting herself stay in that moment with Gamora for longer than they should wishing it could be true. She didn't even care that Thanos would punish her for this, because she knew that Gamora wanted it just as much as she did.

But the sound outside startled them both out of that moment and amped up the fear she'd felt since she woke up in a place where she shouldn't have been. Gamora moved before Nebula had been ready, running for a knife on the counter leaving Nebula behind, and part of her wanted to stay hidden there beneath the table, to let the fear keep her still but she knew she couldn't.

She gripped her baton tight in her hands and moved too slower than Gamora but following after her sister and grabbing for her hand and heading for the door. They needed to get out of the house away from the pink creature that had been in Gamora's bed, and see what new trial their father had laid out for them.
