ONE MONTH AGO
It had only been a day since Nebula arrived to planet Earth, and she was already tired of waiting. This whole planet disgusted her, as the creatures were vile and their society was weak. She could only imagine how long it would take for the strongest and powerful being to wipe out the human race and what they could do with this planet. However, this was not Nebula's current objective but something much bigger than any one of these human brains could comprehend. Tinkering with her bionic arm, Nebula stewed in angst and vengeance as she hunched over on the corner bar stool of what she would refer to as a hole in the wall. She thought about her precious army of assassins that she shed many moons of sweat and blood to build into a force like no other. Nebula thought that they would be unstoppable against Thanos's army and that she would have her torturer's head by now. She had never been so wrong in her life. And now here she was, the only survivng member of her army. A captain who failed her troops, and now landed herself on a planet she hated in a bar full of villains she despised. Due to her status and appearance it was not safe for her to freely walk the streets of New York. Not that she couldn't take care of herself, however her business was not to start a war with Earthlings and if she wanted to succeed in her master plan then she needed to keep herself on the down low. So the secretive Bar With No Name was her grimy solace. That was, until the Earthly arrival of company she never thought she would ever need the help of. The last thing she wanted to do was ask for help from her sister Gamora and the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Nebula knew that Thanos was a mutual enemy of the Guardians and that Gamora wouldn't refuse the opportunity to take down their capturer. But until then, Nebula had to wait. Patience wasn't one of her best qualities, however it was her impatience that got her in this mess. A glass cup full of alcoholic liquid slid right before Nebula, the sudden appearance of the object before her diverted her attention from her tinkering. She slowly raised her head up to the bar tender, "I didn't order anything," her black beady eyes glared at him for interrupting her comfortable bubble of isolation. "Well you sure look like you could use it, doll face." Nebula shot up from her seat as she stood up, facing the bartender who cowered behind the counter. "Imbecile! Do you know who I am?" Nebula's fist clenched around the glass cup, breaking it into a million shards. This man would regret his disrespect. "Hey, now," the bartender said in fear as he put up his hands, "Everybody who comes in here is somebody. You just look in the dumps, is all." Nebula's bionic arm rapidly reached across the bar counter, wrapping it's metal fingers around the bartender's neck. Nebula pulled the man close to her as she cocked her head from side to side. " I don't need your pity. Pity is for the weak!" Nebula angrily said through her teeth before releasing the bartender, throwing him against the back wall, "Disrespect me again, and instead of a glass being crushed by my hands, it will be your heart after I rip it out of your chest." Nebula towered over the counter as she peered down at the man. So helpless and pathetic. Earth really is such a waste. "Anybody else?!" Nebula turned around to the crowd of brutes, who had been staring at her the moment she walked in. It was hard to miss the daughter of Thanos, and she hoped they all remembered their place. "Didn't think so." Nebula sank back into the bar stool and remembered where she left off on the repairs of her arm, slinking back into her little lonely world.

Andro was sitting in this bar for already quite a while, maybe even hours, who knew. And in addition was this not his first visit here. Today, the day before, the day before, the day before and so on. He felt the bartender's skepticism rising with every further hour. He couldn't blame him, as he was not the most lucrative guest. Every evening Andro was making do with not more than one glass of water, drinking all alone, in the darkest and farthest corner he could find. He never thought much of the foul liquid people drank for reasons other than to appease their thirst. Inebriety, diversion, frustration. But never got any of these reasons satisfied for over the last remnant of these drug in their circulatory system. Back in his youthful days he had given it one first and one last try and experienced physically what he already knew intellectually. The alcohol had tainted his sense as well as his judgment. Not for all reasons simultaneously would he add another try.
Andro's eyes kept scanning the guests, calling themselves villains, in every corner of the bar. It was clear in his mind that villain was just a word. A hypernym for people not fitting the concept of the average. But who had erst defined what was average? No one of importance, Andro answered his own rhetorical question, so therefore for him a word losing its meaning a priori. Howbeit, among people varying from the average he either might find confederates or enemies. As he had given up to share his plan with confederates long ago and as there was no such wording as enemies in his vocabulary, everything left inside these walls was infected people. People, infected by the voracity for any kind of power, needing his help. Andro was no man of turning a blind eye to the helpless. And so he helped. One by one would he sort out the invalids from the healthy, for the time he still had to find a way to ultimately purge the world in one step.
"Imbecile! Do you know who I am?", suddenly, one guest, Andro had not gotten a front view of until then, was drawing his attention. He was never forgetting a face, and so he recognized hers, once she turned around a little in the middle of giving everyone a show.
"Hey, now,""Everybody who comes in here is somebody. You just look in the dumps, is all." Andro's eyes wandered back and forth between the bartender and the woman with blue skin, whenever the speaker was changing again. Except for his pupils, no fiber of his body moved. And while he watched the scene at the bar counter, Andro reminisced.
The memory was as clear as it had been yesterday, because... it had been yesterday. Andro just had taken care of another guest from the other day in the bar. He never went on a mission prematurely, as he didn't want to risk committing a mistake. Any mistake would be dire. It would raise to question what he was doing after all. To take a healthy life wouldn't differentiate him from any ordinary murderer. And that was what he wasn't. He was a savior. And so he had saved this man's soul on yesterday's evening. Careful as he was had he made sure no one was observing. And so no one had. But instead, Andro had been the one observing someone from out of the shadows on top a building's roof, not far from the scene of purification. A woman with blue skin. Andro hadn't known who she was right away, but there had been something about her that had made it difficult for him to avert his gaze. He had wondered what it was. And so he had watched her for another while until she suddenly had thrown a look upwards. Andro always had been fast and versatile, just as careful, and so he had managed to disappear back into the shadow before she could have gotten a glimpse of him. It had been the same evening when he started to search for her face through the entire web. And after all, all the work shall not have been for nothing.
A change of events in the background of the bar made Andro rouse from his reminiscence.
"Anybody else?!", the woman with blue skin, which was attracting all his attention just like the day before, suddenly turned completely around. He hadn't been wrong. It was her. One of Thanos' daughters he had let trained as an assassin. "Didn't think so." Then she let herself sink back into her former seat, as alone as he was.
Andro kept watching her for some more minutes, feeling something inside of him going to overcome a habit. The habit of avoiding every kind of social contact. He wondered why. Was it because in her he didn't see an infected nor a healthy person? So what did he see instead? A confederate? Could it be, after all this time? And was that because of the fact who she was? Thanos, a name, able to lead him one step closer to the accomplishment of his plan. Maybe the daughter meant at least half a step? But was he not the kind of a person playing with people like they wouldn't be more than a pawn. Was it a game to learn? Would he really want to use someone? It would be for the common good, wouldn't it? But was he no liar. He would need to convince her instead, so that she didn't ask too much of questions.
And so Andro did, what he had never done before. Leaving his seat and walking towards another person in a public place like this. Without asking, one thing still matching his usual habits, he sat down on the stool right after next to hers. And eventually, he raised a word, not directly spoken in her direction though. "A disgusting place midst an infested town." Midst an infested world, he added in thoughts.

Nebula felt a presance float near her, but she was persistent on ignoring it. The lone assassin was used to being on her own, fending for herself. She didn't need anybody, and sure as hell could care less for company of any kind. Thanos still had his life, and Nebula had her sight set on tearing him apart until there was nothing left. Piece by piece, just as he had done to her.
"A disgusting place midst an infested town."
Her side glance raised in annoyance to the dark figure beside her, a man. What was this man's business with her? Did he not just hear of what she was capable of? Surely he wanted something from her, Nebula expected that from just about anyone. Her whole life she had been used in someone else's game, so her guard was up indefinitely.
"You're wasting your time. I do not endulge in the common practice of small talk," Nebula scoffed in disgust, as she returned to her modified arm.

Still turned towards the counter, he noticed the glance of annoyance only from out of the corner of his eye. He was the last taking this kind of reaction to someone obviously trying to start some small talk amiss. He hated small talk and never got the sense of it anyway. Words just for the sake of talking? His try to start this conversation at least hadn't been about the doubtless most boring topic to discuss. The weather.
"You're wasting your time. I do not endulge in the common practice of small talk,"
"What a luck. I do not either.", Andro stated truthfully, lastly turning his head in her direction, getting a first closer look at her. At her face that was, not at her arm, like probably everyone else. She was looking so different from other people. Unique. And it wasn't the modified parts of her body that made him pause for a moment of actual absentmindedness. A moment not lasting long though. Any kind of feelings in connection with the contact with others had never been his strong point. A fact that had never bothered him either.
And so Andro came straight to the point, wasting no more time for trying something like small talk. Right, not that straight to the point of course, but at least skipping some parts of a usual conversation process.
"I know this look.", he suddenly said, his eyes watching her with intense. With a look likely hers. The look of someone had been exploited by the world, not going to put up with it any longer. Someone alike. Not that kind of alikeness he had thought to see in Hope once, blinded by what she had simulated to him. No. Someone really alike. Was that the reason for strangely feeling attracted to this woman? Must be so.

"What a luck. I do not either.",
Nebula continued to be frozen in a neutral stare in this man's direction, while inside her blue head she was contemplating all of the brutal ways she could eliminate the problem of him bothering her. Permanently.
" I know this look,"
" You wouldn't even begin to know anything about me, Earthling, " Nebula defensively spouted in the mysterious stranger's direction as she narrowed her large, dark eyes in on him as she attempted to figure out his motive. Everyone on this planet seemed to have some sort of seedy agenda.

"You wouldn't even begin to know anything about me, Earthling,"
Andro might not be the best in guessing other feelings, but did he get the hatred and the reluctance sending his way, as it was conspicuous. Other than she probably was used to wasn't he undeterred by it though. But he wasn't aware of something else to say either. For some more moments, they seem to just keep staring at each other, until he lastly decided to back out of this for now. It just wasn't working this way.
And so, without even another word, he turned his attention away from her. With his eyes wandering one last time to his usual seat in the other corner of the bar, Andro stepped towards the door to leave. Next time he'd be better prepared. She wouldn't disappear off his radar too soon, that was for sure.
***Andro exits the bar***

Nebula watched the mysterious man who had just come up to her slide back into the grimy shadows of the bar. His rightful place, out of Nebula's sight and mind. For she didn't come to this place to talk or make friends. She was on one of the biggest missions of her life, and in the end nothing was going to get in her way. Especially not defeat. Little did she know that she was going to cross paths with the mysterious man once more, however it wouldn't be what she'd expect. For now, she stewed over the many ways she was going to mutilate Thanos when she got her hands on him. Posibilities were endless, but her patience was not and Nebula hoped for the arrival of Gamora and The Guardians to Earth to occur sooner than later. They were her last shot and she was running out of options.

Another evening had dawned upon planet Earth, and Thanos was still out there in the galaxy somewhere plotting his next move. This thought made Nebula's blood boil, and although she couldn't stop thinking about the dance with the stranger in white from the night before she knew that she had to act now. She was losing time, and the window of opportunity was growing smaller. She couldn't wait any longer for her sister and the Guardians to arrive to aide her in the defeat of Thanos.
Nebula locked her sights on the largely muscled toned man behind the bar. Different from the man the previous night she had attended the bar, he was a much more burly and tougher upgrade and she figured the scene she had made caused a stir in the bar's employment. As Nebula approached the bar counter, the man narrowed his eyes on her and growled slightly, "Back to cause some more trouble, Missy?"
Nebula's beady eyes stared him down intensely for a moment before crossing her arms, "My battle is not with you, but another. I'm building a strong army most brutal, and I'm looking for recruits..."

"Back to cause some more trouble, Missy?"
"My battle is not with you, but another. I'm building a strong army most brutal, and I'm looking for recruits..."
"I can only recommend to not look for recruits in this place.", suddenly a deep voice interfered in their conversation at the bar. It was only then that the man's head turned to face the woman in blue, a little scar standing out close to his left eye, before he continued without being asked. "As strong and bloodthirsty as they seem", Andro made a little pause to gesture around them. "as little loyal and consistent they are."
He had been sitting there already long before Blue had entered, yet had made sure to lie low until the right moment would come. They have met only one night ago but little did she know that they'd had much more of a conversation than the little words they'd had exchanged in this bar. Andro was remembering every moment of their meeting on one of New York's highest rooftops as he looked into her eyes right now while she would remember no more than an awkward exchange of words only hours before.
Six more days until they would officially meet again. Maybe Andro had no real reason to be in this bar again yet something like a mysterious urge had made him end up just here, just now. Talking to her another time.

"I can only recommend to not look for recruits in this place."
A sudden voice coming from the man next to Nebula startled her slightly, whipping her head furiously to the side only to recognize the very man who tried to strike up small talk with her the last time she stepped foot in the bar. She glared intensely at the man who had the nerve to interject into her bubble to freely offer advice that was not wanted.
"As strong and bloodthirsty as they seem" "as little loyal and consistent they are."
Her glare followed his outstretched arms as they gestured to the brutish imbeciles around them that filled the bar, and as annoying as this human stranger was Nebula knew that he spoke the truth. Letting out a growl of upmost frustration, Nebula plunked herself down in a huff on the bar stool next to the man.
"Earth is a vile disgrace to the galaxy," Nebula spouted, "I never knew how fragile humanity had become...how powerless it truly was. But now I've seen it. And if I could, I would drive my metal fist straight through the core of this planet, over and over, until it ceased to exist." Nebula uttered her hatred towards humankind as a whole, clenching both fists in a fiery rage. Yet, she was more disappointed in her constant failure than anything. Though Nebula felt the need to place her blame on something in that moment, and Mankind was just too feeble and easy, posing as the perfect punching bag to take her anger and hurt out on.

Andro was rather surprised about her move to take a seat next to him instead of treating him with more disgust or what it was that he'd had thought to read upon her features last time. The surprise was nothing to get read off his own features though.
"Earth is a vile disgrace to the galaxy," Andro kept staring at her in silence when she suddenly opened up to him. Maybe not opening up in the classical sense but in a sense that, for some reason, meant a lot to him. "I never knew how fragile humanity had become...how powerless it truly was. But now I've seen it. And if I could, I would drive my metal fist straight through the core of this planet, over and over, until it ceased to exist."
"What is power though?", Andro suddenly made her wonder, feeling kind of a communal spirit with her and at the same time not. And before she could have come up with an answer to his question, he gave one to himself, turning his gaze away from her. "Compensation for a weak self." Even though they might be talking about different ways of power, he just couldn't help commenting on it. It was all small talk he had. It's who he was.

"What is power though?""Compensation for a weak self."
Nebula's gaze remained forward as the man beside her had offered up opinions of his own. She picked up the glass of liquid that the bartender had placed before her. Unsure of what to do with it, she picked it up with her bionic hand and studied it's contents through the glass carefully as she addressed the stranger from night one beside her further. "Power...the universal desire. Some are born into it, others are lucky to acquire it. And the rest...," Her voice trailed off into an raspy tone of angst as she squeezed the glass in her hands so tight that it shattered in seconds as the remaining shards and liquid decorated the bar top, "Get stepped on and crushed like the vermin they are. But as for myself, power has never been my ultimate desire. Getting even with wrongdoers on the other hand is a temptation I'd fall for. Which is why I'm seeking to build an army." Her darkened gaze finally turned to the side to face the man sitting collectively beside her, and she got a strange sense about him. As if they had already met again in another place.

When there were coming no more words from his side, Andro let his eyes unobtrusively wander back in her direction. There was this strange fear lingering deep down inside of him; fear that he could have fallen out of touch with her. Andro would never say something that wasn't in line with his own ideology, but never before had he been afraid that it could not match with somebody else's. This realization was bothering him same as it was bringing up even more fear, for he had thought he would have learned everything about himself in all those years of isolation.
Andro's eyes watched Blue's bionic arm with fascination as she studied the contents of the glass in her hand. Why was he coming up with thoughts such as her being the most beautiful existence he had ever seen in his entire life? Her physical same as her energetic body that he could clearly sense. There might be a lot of wrath but underneath all that dark matter he could see her true being.
"Power...the universal desire. Some are born into it, others are lucky to acquire it. And the rest...,"
Suddenly it was as he would hear himself speaking, his younger self. Back at a time where anger and hatred had been dominating his mind yet his ideology been the same. And then he knew exactly where this feeling of similarity had come from. Because they were sharing the same ideology deep in its core.
When the glass in her hand shattered, sending shards and its contents all around the bar, he didn't make any move, not even the slightest wincing of a fiber of his body. He was still just too fascinated with her.
"Get stepped on and crushed like the vermin they are."
Her words were bringing up some memories of his past self and along with it some of the anger he had felt back at that time. Andro was trying his best though to channel these feelings elsewhere so that they couldn't get the better of him ever again.
But as for myself, power has never been my ultimate desire. Getting even with wrongdoers on the other hand is a temptation I'd fall for. Which is why I'm seeking to build an army."
As their eyes met again, Andro withstood her dark gaze for it was the same dark gaze that stared back at her; almost like both looking inside a mirror. Never before had he felt such a deep bond towards any other being, not even towards Hope, who he, for a long while, had thought would have been the most important person in his life.
And for some reason Andro suddenly felt the upcoming urge of reaching out to this blue beauty and to touch her skin; to gently stroke her cheek and cover her thin lip line with a kiss. And with this feeling that initial fear was coming back to him as well. And with this fear the long-lost anger.
"An army for what?", he eventually asked, the anger slightly audible in his voice, yet still lingering underneath the surface.

"An army for what?"
Nebula held her gaze with the stranger for a moment more, in awe that someone was capable of looking upon her soul rather than the odd, blue shell that encased it. A connection between them could be seen in thin air, but instead of reaching out for it and seeking more, Nebula surrendered her eyes downward to look upon her bionic arm at the man's engaging question. Lifting and raising each finger in a fan-like motion, she watched each connected joint of metal move in synchronization as flashes of memories filled with anguish and torment filled her heart.
"Tell me, stranger," Nebula questioned the man on the bar stool beside her as she broke the momentary silence, "Moments ago, your earthling eyes were observing my arm. What did you perceive in that very moment?"

Andro's eyes were following Blue's look down at her bionic arm only so far that he didn't have to move his head. Yet there was no need to see the disgust upon her face to guess that for some reason she was hating herself; maybe as much as she was hating everyone else. Maybe even more.
"Tell me, stranger,", she suddenly spoke up again. "Moments ago, your earthling eyes were observing my arm. What did you perceive in that very moment?"
Andro looked up again, rigidly staring at her for a moment, before he truthfully answered: "Astonishment. Fascination." Finding his own words kind of disconcerting for some reason, he added just another feeling; one that he had perceived in that very moment she'd asked about yet didn't like to admit to himself for it was a dangerous thing to feel. "Anger." Yes, anger had been the last of three feelings he had felt before he'd forced himself to lock each of them up again. Anger towards someone who had dared to humiliate such a beautiful being.

"Astonishment. Fascination." "Anger."
The first two descriptive feelings the stranger spoke of regarding her bionic arm was in no surprise to Nebula. She knew that her mechanic additions were fascinating to those who didn't know how she had obtained it, and gravely feared by those who were about to die by the hand of it. Yet, her eyes flickered as a startling response to the third feeling. Anger. Most beings sensed her angst dripping off as soon as she walked into the room. Though, this was the first time someone had acknowledged that the fearful wonder of her mechanical workings might have spawned from something darker than imaginable.
"My entire existence, my own father made me believe that my only purpose in this galaxy was to become the greatest weapon of mass destruction. And when I failed, a part of me would be taken and replaced with something stronger ... something better," Nebula raged on as she looked back up at the stranger with an agony stricken glare, "My father stripped me of an innocent, loving childhood. I still don't know what my purpose is, or if I'm even worthy being loved. All I know is that there are others out there, little ones just like I once was, who have fallen into my father's hands and are in danger of the same torture and pain that I had to endure. And the only way I know how to help them is by killing him...I am very strong and powerful. Yet he is stronger." Nebula spoke fearfully as she knew from experience that this time, she would need all the help she could get to taking Thanos down.

Andro was intently listening to her words. Not just listening but rather sensing the heavy weight on each of them while the anger inside of him started to seethe. Actually her anger. The anger they shared although he had tried everything to lock his own anger up deep inside for nowadays he knew that it was the wrong path to take. Yet that path was still there; its waymarker coated with dirt and dust.
And then there was this one word that triggered some more of his locked-up anger. Powerful. Although, he wasn't establishing a connection between the power she was talking about and the power he was seeing as the worst thing in this world. For some more moments, Andro remained silent. He had heard a lot today. And although for some reason, he wanted nothing more than to help her, especially since he knew who she was talking about, this was not the time to offer help. Not yet. Not as Andro - that ordinary man she had met in here.
Eventually, Andro's head turned back towards the bar, wordlessly ordering two glasses of whiskey by just pointing at the bottle. Once the barkeeper had served him with the drinks, his finger slowly pushed one of the glasses over to Blue.
"Strong is not one who mutilates his own daughter.", he suddenly stated, before raising the glass in his hand to take a sip of the liquid inside. "In my eyes, you are a lot stronger."

"Strong is not one who mutilates his own daughter.""In my eyes, you are a lot stronger."
Astonished by his words, Nebula grew rather dumbfounded in expression as the glass of alcoholic liquid had been slid across the bar her way. She extended her fingers outward to accept the beverage the friendly gentleman with kind enough words to say to her, and Nebula wasn't so sure what his motives were for treating her with kind and decant enough company. But Nebula shook her head slowly in disagreement at his last few words.
"You're wrong. You don't know my father," Nebula's fingers toyed with the condensation that had formed on the chilled glass before her as she spoke, "He is capable of wiping out entire civilizations and planets. What could I possibly have that he doesn't?" This assumption the stranger made slightly agitated Nebula, he couldn't possibly begin to comprehend the power that Thanos commanded.

"You're wrong. You don't know my father,"
At that, Andro actually came up with a slight smile, although of rather pharisaic nature. He simply saw himself as to know better, just like the teacher who had to smile at the pupil's guesswork before the actual lection begins. Andro's eyes followed her movements on the chilled glass in front of her.
"He is capable of wiping out entire civilizations and planets. What could I possibly have that he doesn't?"
As much as he had told himself to not play the teacher right here right now, Andro couldn't help falling into just that role. His eyes met with hers once again.
"Scars.", he finally answered quiet enough so that neither the barkeeper nor anyone else around was able to eavesdrop their conversation. "Stop trying to make them disappear. They will never. But instead, start accepting. Make a sight of yourself and show them with pride. Because they can be what you call power." And as much as these words were part of a mission to get her on his side, he meant every one of them.

"Scars." "Stop trying to make them disappear. They will never. But instead, start accepting. Make a sight of yourself and show them with pride. Because they can be what you call power."
"My scars can be my...power?" Nebula uttered in disbelief. Her body leaned away from the stranger as she recoiled like a hermit crab attempting to disappear into it's shell. She was sure that his words were coming from a genuine place, however she did not believe them for herself and as someone who had been told how worthless and weak she was her entire life, she persisted to remain unpersuaded, "My scars have been my physical proof of my failures, my losses...how do I become prideful of that?!" As much as Nebula wanted to be angry, her question really came from a place of pain and loss.

The moment Andro saw her pulling away like a snail that was about to disappear back into its shell, was the moment that he actually regretted to have started this conversation. Not the conversation in general and especially not the fact that he had reached out to her in the first place, but this neither was the right time nor place. He had to be patient and he had to be aware of his words.
Andro leaned back into his seat as well, an uninterpretable smile in the corner of his lips. It was actually rare for him to smile at all, yet there was something about this woman that was able to produce it. He watched her a moment longer in silence before finally launching into an answer, or rather a sudden closure of the subject. "Either you can... or you will forever mark time. That is up to you.", Andro said as he raised his glass to his lips, pretending to be no longer interested. Of course, everything he did was just another tactical move. There had been a time that he had learned to - let's call it rather steering than manipulating - people to get their attention, and now was the time to make use of it, for she was to play an important part in his plan to purify the world.

"Either you can... or you will forever mark time. That is up to you."
Nebula scoffed at the man's remark. She was finding it very difficult to read what he was trying to achieve in their talk. Was his words supposed to make her feel better? Nebula had no control over her past, but she knew that she could control the future. And she knew that she couldn't waste her time any longer with pointless banter about her strengths and weaknesses.
"I've wasted enough time wallowing in this pity party with you. I've got an army to build," Nebula shoved herself away from the bar top as she began to turn her back on the stranger and walk deeper into the bar. Yet, the farther she walked away from the man, the more his words resonated within her. Growling, Nebula gritted her teeth angrily as she began to feel things that she never knew were under her surface until now. She hated it.

"I've wasted enough time wallowing in this pity party with you. I've got an army to build,"And yet again Andro was pretending to be not interested in any more conversation with her by not even turning his head around for one last time, but instead taking another sip of the drink in his hand. And yet was there something that irked him when she left the bar top. After all this time of having gained control over his emotions, it was still a challenge sometimes to ignore his fears of loss paired with the anger that was firmly fixed with them. Andro raised the glass for another sip before he decided to knock the rest of his drink down in one go. It was on time to call it a night. He was sure she would be coming back, just as he would. Andro really had been going to omit to glance at her one last time, but there was something like an invisible bond that made it almost impossible to not. And so his eyes were wandering around the crowded bar, searching and finally lingering over her blue skin for just another moment before he finally turned around to leave the bar. *** Andro walks outside the bar ***
He was going to straightly head towards home when the feeling of being observed made him pause all of a sudden...

Thanos sent his children to find the Infinity Stones. Kyrin was sent to the planet called Earth because there should be some of them.
The Kree warrior luckily found a place where he could hide his one-man-starship so that those humans wouldn’t find it although he also used an Invisible-shield to disguise it.
His first place for observation was the town called New York – the one Loki once was sent to. Of course, the Asgardian failed – but that was another story. Now it was the time for qualified allies!
So as not to attract too much attention he wore a black coat with a hood. But to be honest that hood was a bit impractical. It restricted his field of view. Conventiently the cloak also hid his weapons. It was the first time the Kree walked around and took a look at those humans. Maybe it would be useful if he got to know them better. Suddenly a man entered the street, coming from the inside of one of the buildings around. For the moment this one was the only one walking down the streets. And he walked it down straightly. Kyrin stopped and started to study that human being. He stood in the shadows so that he might not be seen.

The person in the shadows might be thinking that he couldn't be seen, which wasn't actually the untruth, but there were more senses than the sense of sight to exert, especially to Andro. He stood still for some more moments before he decided to take another unusual action on an unusual day - speaking up first.
"I know you are there, and I know you are watching.", Andro said rather quiet, yet loud enough to get heard by someone whose attention was lying upon him anyway.
He hated to be watched, but what he hated even more than to be watched was to not know why.

It didn’t take long until the human man noticed him. Maybe he wasn’t as much preoccupied with his thoughts as Kyrin thought he might be. Or maybe his senses were much better than normal human’s ones. The Kree was told that earthlings normally were much weaker than many other species in the Universe.
The man stopped and a moment later raised his voice, not loud but loud enough for the warrior to hear it. "I know you are there, and I know you are watching." Kyrins first impulse was to jump at that man and kill him – fast and silent. But then he also made an unusual decision. He stepped out of the shadows and walked some steps closer to the stranger into the light of the next street lamp. "It isn’t about you. But at the moment you’re the only human around here." That was all. A simple explanation. Kyrin hid his face still under his hood. But he also positioned his left hand next to his hidden weapons. He would be ready for a fight if his counterpart would made anything he would regret! Although he was sure that it would be a very short fight.
Suddenly there was a strange noise nearby. Maybe just some streets away. It was very loud and put the Kree warrior off his stride for some seconds. He turned his head visceral towards the direction that noise was coming from. And for that short moment the human man could get a glance under his hood and saw blue and black skin. (Of course, Kyrin couldn't know that the noise was a car alarm. He've never heard of that.)

Andro was still standing at ease, yet he sensed that invasive impulse coming from that spot in the shadows. Yet again, there were more senses than those classical five. And although he stood at ease, he was prepared to take an action if needed - always. So, he was rather surprised when suddenly the stranger stepped out of his hideout and into the light. Andro was not a man of reflecting any emotions or thoughts on his features though, and so he just watched the hooded figure in silence.
"It isn’t about you. But at the moment you’re the only human around here."
It didn't slip his attention that he was yet again called a human instead of just someone. This man was not coming from earth either. Just like Blue. For the split of a second, Andro's eyes were wandering down at the man's weapon. Of course, he wasn't able to see a weapon but he was aware of the little movements and looks of someone who positioned his hand on anything weapon-like.
Then suddenly the noise of a car alarm was breaking into the silence of the night. Instead of turning towards the noise as well, Andro kept watching the stranger, whose hood was slipping out of position for a moment, so that he was able to see a bit of the face below. He said nothing though, nor was there seen any change upon his facial features. He just kept watching him. Usually, he wasn't much interested in any stranger and would have walked away at some point but there was this... almost unsettling, for whichsoever reason, feeling, or rather hunch, that told him to not leave this man to his business.

If the Kree would have had the possibility of reading someones minds he immediately would have known the true identity of 'Blue'. But luckily (?) he couldn’t.
But when he brought that man into focus again he noticed that this human wasn’t afraid of that strange noise. So he came to the conclusion that it was something that didn’t matter for them. And now he also heard voices from nearby. Probably two or three men. It sounded as they were argueing. Kyrin thrusted it aside with a shrug. It wasn’t his matter. And if those men would do the mistake to come over here they would regret it and pay with their lifes.
The other man in front of him stared at him without saying a word. The warrior was a bit confused. He often heard that humans rarely stop talking. But this one seemed to be different from the norm. He seemed to be a lot like himself indeed. But maybe that would make it easier to get some information from him. So he adressed him plain-spoken. "Where can I get information without your pathetic government noticing me? And do you ever heard about a man called Thor?" Maybe that guy knew something about the Asgardians whereabout. The Kree's face was now hidden by the hood again. His hand was still near to his weapons. And his eyes kept a close look at the stranger. If they were really similar to each other this man maybe also had fighting skills and tried to be prepared.

"Where can I get information without your pathetic government noticing me?"
Despite his stone-like attitude, Andro had to exhale an, still almost unnoticeable, hiss like someone who heard something funny. The government was a lot more than just pathetic, but that was, for sure, one of the thousands of accurate adjectives to describe it anyway.
"And do you ever heard about a man called Thor?"
"What if?", Andro replied with a counter-question, not averting his gaze from the stranger, not even for a blink. Of course, he had heard of a man called Thor. And of a man called Tony Stark, a woman calling herself Black Widow, and even of a group of universe people going by the name of The Guardians Of The Galaxy. But why would he share his knowledge about all that with a stranger who seemed to him like he was here for some kind of mission - one that was not to Andro's liking if he had to guess.
