*** Six days after last meeting in Bar With No Name ***
Seven days had passed since they had met on that rooftop in the middle of a memorable night. Six days since they have talked to each other, Blue not being aware that the two men he had been conversing with actually were the same person. And then just yesterday that he had seen her face, watched from outside a window that gave a view to the inside of a bar - the bar where they have met for the very first time and where he kept watching her, lonely sitting inside, ever since. Something had prevented him from walking in to have another chat with her. What if he couldn't keep up a conversation? What if she was still dismissing him? But the question bothering him the most was another... Why was this even so important to him? With the late November wind blowing around, his white combat dress mostly shielding from the cold, Andro's eyes were searching for any hint of another figure in the distance. He had chosen the roof of the building to become their secret meeting point. Due to the scaffolding all around its walls, the Clock Tower had become less a tourist attraction during the last years, so nobody would look up and spot the two shadows dancing through the night. Nobody would disturb their training lessons. That was if she would accept his invitation.

It had been seven days and Nebula couldn't wait any longer as impatience grew within her every day that passed, every day that she was still waiting for her sister. Gamora and The Guardians had been Nebula's last resort plan in taking Thanos down once and for all...until another presented himself before her rather unexpectedly. "Where will be when." had plagued Nebula's brain for the past week as she furiously pondered the multitude of possibilities as to what it could mean before settling down on one idea. Time itself. An isolated location such as the Manhattan Clock Tower could be the perfect place for a secret meeting. Nebula hoped she was right as the ladder she ascended on finally carried her to the top of the building.

Disappointment, or actually even fear, had been starting to permeate in his mind when suddenly the desiderated figure in the distance caught his eyes all of a sudden. Andro remained stone-still at his spot, watching it coming closer. His features, although hidden behind a mask, didn't change, but a sigh of relief had left him deep from his core.
She came.
Once they stood face to face, Andro moved slightly. His eyes were watching her with intensity as he still remained silent. Then he stopped his steps again before the first and only greeting from him became no more than an almost unnoticeable nod. But then, with lightning speed, his hand moved towards the sheath of his katana and drew it out as fast as he was thrusting forward. Of course, wasn't he going to harm her; all he wanted was to get a little taste of his trainee-to-be's abilities before saying or doing anything else.

Landing onto her feet, Nebula scanned the barren wasteland of the rooftop until her sight fell upon a familiar figure. The warrior in white stood in the distance, and Nebula could feel his silent gaze upon her as if he was mentally beckoning her to meet him where he stood. She followed the intuitive feeling as she began to walk across the rooftop towards him, stopping far enough to allow some space between them as she was still hesitant about his efforts to meet. Why me? Nebula kept thinking to herself, yet she did not question him aloud this time around as she had her sights set on what she wanted, and she needed this stranger just as one would need a stepping stone.
The warrior in white suddenly moved at lightning speed as the draw of his blade sliced through the silence that had formed between them momentarily. Just as the weapon was thrusted forward, Nebula flexed her reflexes as she dodged the blade. As the blade was drawn back, Nebula jumped over the warrior, rolling in mid air until she landed on her feet in a crouched position before him. Both of her hands worked in sync as she drew her shock batons that sparked nosily, craving for some flesh to jolt. Nebula still wasn't entirely sure what this all was, but she was never known to back down from a fight.

Andro was proud and probably even relieved about her good reflexes, because, even though this had been a test, he hadn't restrained his speed and purposefulness just like he'd been attacking someone putting obstacles in his way. He didn't like to call anyone a foe since he did not have foes or friends. There were just people who were able to see the truth and that his way was the only way to make this world a better place, and those who weren't. In Blue, he was seeing one of the first kind. And maybe even more... unconsciously.
When she landed back on her feet right before him, ready to kill if necessary, which Andro could see in her eyes, he lowered his own weapon. She was probably still questioning their meeting, all the more after this little sword dance, and so Andro wanted to give her at least one answer to the question he thought to be able to read upon her face or rather upon her mind.
"Because you are worthy.", he said matter-of-factly and without any twinge of irony or flattery. Regardless of the fact that he was, first of all, doing all this to follow up his own agenda, Andro had some kind of empathy with her; something he had never felt for anyone before. Not even for Hope.

As the stranger in white began to lower his weapons, mass confusion flexed on Nebula's face as her black, beady eyes narrowed in on him. Standing down from her line of defense, she slowly withdrew her batons and put them back into their place as she began to slowly rise from her crouched position. Many questions circled her mind, yet one stood out among the rest: Why me?
"Because you are worthy."
A wave of relief washed over Nebula, and for once in her life she felt something that she had never truly felt from anyone she had ever knew. To be understood entirely was rare for Nebula, as she was always different. Always the weak link. But today, her existence mattered. This stranger in white became her savior, her knight in white. "No one's...ever done anything like this for me before," A wave of emotions overcame her, and she suddenly found herself bowing to him "Highest warrior...I offer you my allegiance. Teach me your ways, and together we can destroy my father. Together...we can conquer the Galaxy."

Andro felt her guard and mistrust falling apart at once, and he couldn't even say if it was the sensation of just that or his own relief about finally having gained her full trust, but something was going to overwhelm him inwardly, as he stood in place, emotions only shown as a little twitch of his eyelids.
"No one's...ever done anything like this for me before,""Highest warrior...I offer you my allegiance. Teach me your ways, and together we can destroy my father. Together...we can conquer the Galaxy."
When she suddenly bowed at him, something else was flooding through him. A feeling of pride and... he was actually afraid to name it. P.o.w.e.r... No, he mustn't come up with feelings like that. Power was a social malady that had to get purified. And it must never grow in himself, just as it must never grow in Blue. She was still ridden by thoughts of revenge, yet he felt that it was not too late for her.
Andro made some steps in her direction, trying to leave these foul feelings behind until he was standing right in front of her. As he looked her deep into her black, beady eyes, the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, a sudden desire was going to take over his mind. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to be with her. To own her.
"I accept.", Andro answered rather brusquely, although not agreeing with everything she had said. Conquering was a purpose coming from greed for power, egoistic and wrong, while their purpose was coming from a higher calling. But he would make her understand that sooner or later.

"I accept."
After everything she had went through to obtain her independence, Nebula was uncertain about sparing her loyalties to another superior. Though, this time was different. Submitting to this man of Earth felt completely different than from Thanos, or even Ronan. They saw her as a weapon, whereas Nebula felt that this man saw her as much more than that. Although she hadn't known this man for long, Nebula felt seen as someone of value.
"Now that I have owed you my allegiance...What do I call you, Warrior?" Nebula asked as she slowly unraveled out of her bow.

"Now that I have owed you my allegiance...What do I call you, Warrior?"
He paused for a moment, silent and not moving at all, yet with his eyes still aimed at her.
"For what do we need a name though?", Andro finally broke the silence after a while. "Is that not just a term our blood relatives had given to us?" Then he slightly moved to turn towards the city to their feet, gesturing around the lights that looked so little from above. "People had given me many names. You can either choose from one of them or just come up with anything else. I will not mind that."
It was not that he wouldn't like to know her name as well, to be honest, but after this announcement from him, he'd make a fool out of himself asking for it. If they ever shared their names with each other, he'd rather like that to happen while he was not wearing a mask. Until he could fully trust her as well, Andro wasn't going to reveal his true identity. First, he had to make sure that, in the end, she wouldn't be going to betray him. Like Hope had done. No, he would be more careful this time.
After a while, Andro's head turned back into her direction. He wanted to tell her his name. He wanted to tell her everything about him, to put off his mask and reveal his face, seeing if she would still look upon it the same way. Of course, he made no move to do any of that. Not yet.
"We will meet at different places, to different hours.", he eventually announced. "We have to be very careful because... people do not understand what we are doing. They call me a killer. But they can not see what I see, so I can not even take it amiss on them."

"For what do we need a name though?" "Is that not just a term our blood relatives had given to us?" "People had given me many names. You can either choose from one of them or just come up with anything else. I will not mind that."
Nebula's eyes drifted along with every movement that her new master's body made, almost as if she was studying him. Nodding among the darkness, she respectfully agreed with his statement in silence as she watched him gaze over the city of lights. Warrior or master, either one would suffice if she ever had to refer to him directly with a type of term and didn't mind not calling him a name or even knowing his name altogether. Naming something or someone meant emotional attachment, and Nebula wasn't planning on pursing that on Earth...or so she thought.
"We will meet at different places, to different hours." "We have to be very careful because... people do not understand what we are doing. They call me a killer. But they can not see what I see, so I can not even take it amiss on them."
"What is it that you see, that others do not?" Nebula took a few steps towards the warrior, her tone heavy with curiosity. The mystery behind this masked man left her wanting more with every encounter and she couldn't explain the reasoning. As his gaze met hers once more, she tilted her head to the ground in a bow of respect.

"What is it that you see, that others do not?"
Andro's eyes were watching her with silent amazement. Her sudden change of heart since the moment they had first met to this day, along with her approaching steps and, at last, this bow of respect - not feigned at all - brought something back in him that he thought had become lost long ago. Hope. How much of an irony of fate that the one person he had met, bearing this a name, had been trampling on just that for so long. Never again would he allow anyone to treat him like that. No, he knew Blue would never do so. She was like him.
"The malady that comes from within.", Andro finally answered with suppressed disgust. He may not judge the people themselves but only the malady that was driving them, yet sometimes it just came over him like a wave of long held back emotions; actually alarmingly whenever he was around Blue. "It feeds on them like a host that leaves nothing over but a mangled soul. I have once mistaken it for a weakness of character, but these humans", he slightly shook his head before he corrected himself. "these beings - had been doomed long before my sword pay them their last respect. I do society a favor." He couldn't help but allow a bit of scorn getting mixed up with the usual sobriety in his tone, as he'd gotten carried away in his own words. Also, during the last half of his little speech, Andro's eyes had been wandering from her over at the city lights to their feet.

"The malady that comes from within.", "It feeds on them like a host that leaves nothing over but a mangled soul. I have once mistaken it for a weakness of character, but these humans" "these beings - had been doomed long before my sword pay them their last respect. I do society a favor."
"I had only heard of stories of Earthlings and of their corruption before I came here and seen the weaklings that they truly are," Nebula's head was still bowed and her gaze still peered to the rooftop beneath her as she spoke on a level of understanding to her new authority, "Since the moment I've arrived, I longed to make this planet a better, stronger place. I refrained from giving it more thought, as I did not want to distract myself from my main objective. Humans are in danger of running this Earth into the ground, and it would be an upmost waste. I respect your service, and if you help me kill my father, I will run to the ends of this planet with you and destroy each and every mangled soul with my every being." Nebula vowed with upmost passion, laying her loyalties to the masked man. She peered up slowly at him, allowing her gaze to fall into admiration of the powerful warrior that stood before her.

"I had only heard of stories of Earthlings and of their corruption before I came here and seen the weaklings that they truly are,"
For a moment, he wondered if her words would go for him as well. No, she had demonstrated her respect to him. He doubted that she was seeing him as a weakling. When she spoke up again, Andro's head slowly turned back to the side to look her in the eyes, as her next words were spiriting away even the last bit of doubts about her allegiance towards him.
"Since the moment I've arrived, I longed to make this planet a better, stronger place. I refrained from giving it more thought, as I did not want to distract myself from my main objective. Humans are in danger of running this Earth into the ground, and it would be an upmost waste. I respect your service, and if you help me kill my father, I will run to the ends of this planet with you and destroy each and every mangled soul with my every being."
Giving his word to her condition was the easiest thing to do, as killing her father - or how he rather liked to call it: freeing him - had always been part of his plan. Maybe not exactly, if he will be successful in finding the Infinity Stones before he could, but it had started to become part of the plan ever since it looked like that would cause Blue to follow him on his path. And as wrong as he thought her reasons were, as much was he willing to help to accomplish her desire, because... she was starting to... mean something to him.
By the end of her expressional speech of loyalty, there happened to form something on his facial features that wasn't seen there very often, to say the least. A smile. One might have called it kind of eerie, but one was not able to see it under his mask anyway.
Eventually, he reduced the last space between them with slow steps further in her direction before suddenly taking a slight bow right in front of her, to show his respect as well. "You have my word that I will help you to put an end to your father's life.", Andro announced.

"You have my word that I will help you to put an end to your father's life."
Nebula's body shot upright as the man came closer to her, making the space between them smaller than it had been before. She was about to draw backwards before she completely froze at the sight of him slightly bowing his body in front of her. Nebula grew stunned and could have sworn she let a slight audible gasp slip. She had only hoped that this man would agree to her request, but he did so much more than that. For the first time in her life, Nebula was being offered ideas and comforts that she had never received before. One of them being mutual respect.
"You said I am worthy," Nebula shook her head as grief echoed in her tone, "Though, I didn't do anything to earn this." Cowering back slightly, Nebula's back coiled slightly. She crossed her forearms as she grabbed her biceps as her gaze sunk into the ground, "Is this what the Masters of Earth are like?" Nebula asked, as the more time that she spent with this man the more infatuated she grew with his compassion for her. In a usual circumstance, she would view his ways as 'weak' compared to how Ronan and Thanos ruled. It was hard for her to get used to this man's way of running his authority, but she slowly began to warm up to accepting this new normal. This man was beginning to change Nebula from the inside, and soon enough it was sure to show outwards.

"You said I am worthy," Andro looked up again, slowly rising back to an upright position. "Though, I didn't do anything to earn this."
With grief, only slightly shown on his features, he watched her cowering back from him. How could she think that she didn't deserve respect when only her lookings and each of her movements were of graceful beauty already? Surely he couldn't be the only one seeing her.
"Is this what the Masters of Earth are like?"
"Let me create a picture for you. The picture of a new world. A world with no masters and no underlings. A world in which everyone is equal.", Andro spoke up, once again getting carried away in preaching. Also, whenever it happened, there was something in his eyes that gave away how far away he was in moments like this. Andro had seen each of the pictures that got created in his head. Always.
Eventually, that something in his eyes vanished again until it was obvious that they were fixating Blue again, with his whole attention. "I am not a master. I am just a being." Although he saw himself as to be chosen, he'd never seen himself as someone special. He was just the one who had to offer the sacrifice for this new world to become real.

"Let me create a picture for you. The picture of a new world. A world with no masters and no underlings. A world in which everyone is equal." "I am not a master. I am just a being."
Nebula was awestruck as this warrior in white creating vivid images in her mind. A world with no masters, only equals was something she did not know that she needed or even craved to have until now. Her whole life, she wondered why she could never amount to greatness as her father Thanos wanted and why she felt so worthless in his eyes. She was living a life that was not her own and had been missing her calling entirely. Up until now.
"You're not just a being," Nebula spoke affirmatively as she took a couple of steps towards Andro, but then stopped herself abruptly out of force of habit as a certain level of respect and submission had been pounded into her head by her past superiors, "These men, women and children that ravage along the sidewalks through the days and nights on this planet are just beings," Nebula's gaze dropped to the bustling streets below, crawling with cars and humans before returning her gaze back up to the kind stranger that was now her ally, "You...you're a master of your own design. And I'll do whatever it takes to help you make it a reality."

"You're not just a being,"
Andro's eyes lay on hers, watching her moving closer towards him, as her words were bringing forth something that he didn't even know himself to be part of his emotional world - a world that always had been kind of a mystery or rather a maze to him. Suddenly, he wanted to be more indeed. He wanted to be more to her. He wanted her, and that not even in the way a man wanted a woman, like physically. Not even in the way someone wanted a person emotionally. Or not only. It wasn't actually clear to himself what he really wanted, but it was her who he wanted.
And as she was coming closer, it suddenly became an effort to stay calm and collected like he usually was. Like he always was. Okay, there was something deep inside of him, a restrained emotion, that knew it better. But that emotion was no longer a part of him. And yet again, that emotion knew it better as it started to quietly chuckle deep down under the surface, not yet loud enough though to send a warning. There will come a time that the chuckling would grow louder, but that was another chapter.
When Blue stopped her steps all of a sudden, yet no longer out of rejection but rather out of a habit, Andro managed to regain full control over himself. And although one could only see his eyes that usually had this stone-cold expression, it was, maybe for the first time in his life, hard for him to not let the inner turmoil shown right through them.
"These men, women and children that ravage along the sidewalks through the days and nights on this planet are just beings," His eyes weren't following her gaze down to the streets below but instead remained on her beautiful face. "You...you're a master of your own design. And I'll do whatever it takes to help you make it a reality."
Some more minutes, or maybe only seconds, were passing by until Andro started to close his eyes very slowly and wordlessly indicating to her to do the same. He didn't wait to check if she did but instead started to focus on both their astral bodies. Of course, Andro was not something like a mind reader or manipulator nor did he possess any other power in the way gods did, but he was well experienced in fields that may forever fail to be achieved to those who are blind and too much focused on what they could see with their eyes only.
With all his senses, Andro reached out to Blue. She was repleted with so much hatred and so much grief that it not only had affected her personality but also her energy, or her Chi how they say in Asia. Training someone like that would surely be hard work, but he was going to help her as she was going to help him.
"Calm...", he eventually said in a whispered way, still not checking if she had her eyes closed or not. "Let off of all unrest..." He wasn't expecting her to manage that, not even going to try to make her go calm on a level she would have to if he shall train her, but instead he was just trying to get a picture of what they had to work on.

The stranger's eyelids came to a close as he stood their silently. Nebula cocked her head in confusion as she stared at the man who appeared to be sleeping standing upright. Yet, something tugged on her center, and she was not sure how or why but for some reason Nebula felt compelled to follow along with this man. Like blinds over a window, her blue eyelids slowly fell over her black eyes until her eyes were completely shut. Nebula's sight was darkened, yet her senses were heightened. She could hear not only herself breathing, but she could hear his breath as well. Her senses magnified to an extent of awareness that she had never felt before, and she fell into an almost meditative trance.
"Calm...", "Let off of all unrest..."
His voice gently entered her space. She focused on his voice and studied the words he spoke. A small splashing wave of calm fell over her and for the first time she felt the most peace that she had ever experienced, but only momentarily. She suddenly became aware of how still her mind was, and it ached to allow thoughts to enter and to make her wander from the calm space she was in. Nebula let out a slight growl of frustration as she ripped her eyes open to meet his. "Sorry," Nebula grew disappointed in herself, "That feeling I felt, I never felt like that before. I wanted to stay, but for some reason I couldn't. Does it get easier?" Nebula gazed up at the warrior man who was now more than a wizard than anything.

When Andro felt her mind fighting the calm state that she had started to experience for at least a moment, he was the first reopening his eyes. He might not have been able to see the pictures that entered into her calm space, but he could sense where those were coming from - Pictures from a painful past, an unjust present, and, as a consequence, a forecast of a condemned future. He had been there too. After all this time, it was not his vision that has changed. His attitude has.
Patiently, Andro waited for Blue to open her eyes again until they would meet again. And as much as he felt something like empathy for her, something he was not used to, to say the least, Andro knew that only she was able to let go of those pictures which he perceived as, when put into words, dark matter. He'd had a lot of that himself, back at the time before he started to realize that the war he'd been fighting his whole life, never had been anything other than a war against himself. Maybe that was the reason for this strong bond he felt between them.
"Sorry,""That feeling I felt, I never felt like that before. I wanted to stay, but for some reason I couldn't. Does it get easier?"
An actual smile was forming under his mask, the only hint of it being soft wrinkles around his eyes though, until he truthfully answered: "No. But you learn to accept." Ever since the moment he had worked himself through his own training years ago, Andro was in the belief that it had been acceptance with which he would have fought his inner war, but the truth was, that his war was still not over, for the demons he thought he'd chased away never really disappeared completely.
"Our future is not written yet.", Andro spoke up again. "Neither our past nor our present creates it unless we allow them. Instead, we let the future happen... by seeing the signs and taking the chances we get. Those with power think that they create, but instead... they just dig. They dig their own grave, as well as the grave of the universe. It is a malady. Something that we must stop, for the universe is already too weak to do so on its own." As he spoke, his features took on more and more an expression of disgust, although he had promised himself to be no more than a tool - without judgment, without emotions. But it seemed like the more time he was spending with Blue, the more his own dark matter was coming back. There would come a time when he had to learn how poisoning this relationship actually was - for both of them.

"Our future is not written yet.""Neither our past nor our present creates it unless we allow them. Instead, we let the future happen... by seeing the signs and taking the chances we get. Those with power think that they create, but instead... they just dig. They dig their own grave, as well as the grave of the universe. It is a malady. Something that we must stop, for the universe is already too weak to do so on its own."
This stranger commanded Nebula's entire attention. Without flinching a single muscle away from him, Nebula listened to his every word with intention and although she did not understand the entire meaning of what he spoke of yet, she took it all in. Her new master spoke with such devotion to his ideology that Nebula received it as if she had just discovered the truth to the universe. Now knowing she was brought to Earth for a reason, she realized in this moment that she was exactly where she needed to be. Nebula's destiny lay with the warrior in white.
As the warrior spoke, his expression changed. The passion that bled from his heart fueled into horrendous disapproval as he spoke of those who aimlessly and carelessly create not only their own downfall but the demise of the Galaxy itself. Nebula felt the vibrating anger that rose within him, almost as if it were transferred to her by some sort of connection. She knew of this feeling all too well, it plagued her for her entire existence as she fought her way through her life. Countless of years, she had poured her energy into this rage and it was surely damaging to her soul. Yet, it saved her life many times as it fueled her fight and gave her a reason to keep living. Standing upright across from her new mentor, Nebula peered up at him with a sorrowful yet harmonious gaze that silently communicated with him that she knew his pain. Nebula had always been known to act rashfully out of passion, so when her little blue hand decided to gently raise and place itself on the masked cheek of the stranger before her it was clear that she acted without thinking. The intoxication that stemmed within her simmered rapidly, and she grew absolutely horrified that she acted completely out of line. People got killed for acting out of line where she came from.
"I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me...," Nebula flinched away from her mentor. A wave of shame overcame her as her eyes glued to the rooftop floor, not daring to look up at his expression. Her hands grappled both of her biceps as she held her arms tightly against her chest. Her head bowed, her back arched in a defensive coil as she waited for her punishment from her new master.

Andro might not be very sensitive as for emotions just like happiness or sympathy, but he was as for his astral body, an ability eluding even the most empathetic person as far as they didn't believe. Some had talent, of course, yet would never fully discover it. They probably would feel some kind of deep connection towards nature and animals throughout their life, but would they reject it as imagination and dreaminess, especially with the coming of age and the teaching of finding their place in society. Since Andro had never believed in the system of society, it had been easy for him to exit from there.
However, this ability to sense beyond secularity was allowing him to not only connect with his own soul but also with those who were, at least, receptive to this whole matter themselves. And so was Blue. She surely wouldn't feel it herself, not by now, but Andro was able to receive a surge of energy nearing his, already before she would physically reach out to him. That fact though, was not making it less surprising to him when she did. Maybe not exactly surprising but rather yearning. He had spent years to become as calm and collected as he believed himself to be, yet in this very moment, something inside of him felt close to exploding. What was this feeling? Was that his heart?
Although physically he didn't move, Andro reached out with his energy as well, deliberately using that ability she only used intuitively, and leaned in her touch on his cheek, wishing the mask wouldn't absorb the actual contact of her skin on his.
And then, all of a sudden, she flinched away from him. An almost regretful expression appeared on the face behind that mask. Had he done anything wrong? Hadn't he felt the same longing in her energy just like his own? Or had that been just imagination? For some reason, he would have loved nothing better than to put off his mask and get to her side, and... What was is that he actually wanted? This was all so... confusing.
"I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me...,"
There was something inside of him that wanted to be close to her and to change that sudden shame on her face into... a smile? The confusion grew with each further thought, and so Andro decided to block all thoughts out for a moment. Instead of thinking, he made one step closer in Blue's direction until they were, once again, standing close to each other, eye to eye. With his thoughts still blocked out, he would be acting the same as she had before - out of passion.
Andro's right hand, as well masked, slowly neared her head, or more precisely, that side of her head that was covered with different metal parts. His fingers almost gently drew along the seams, and finally stopped at the back of her head. It took only one breath until the thoughts were coming back though, even louder and more intense than before, same as this strange feeling around his chest.
"Never be sorry.", Andro said quietly, feeling the words almost pressing against his chest yet at the same time easing some of the strain. Releasing his hands from her, he finally tried to regain control over his actions. There was a special bond between them, but she also was a tool to get closer to Thanos and the Infinity Stones. The past had taught him all too well that it was unlikely to have both - a connection of this sort, whatever it actually was, and an advantage out of business relation.
"We will meet again, in two days. Same time, same place." he suddenly announced much more reserved before actually bowing to her, and, at last, cat-like disappearing over the balcony on their right with no more words of farewell.
Andro didn't look back up as he jumped from platform to platform and stone to stone. He blamed himself for having allowed his emotions to control his actions, same as he appreciated it. She had been so close, as close as never anyone had been before. At least, not on this level that was far beyond the physical.
A sudden smile found its way onto his facial features, and, even though hidden under a mask, Andro could feel that it was there. And for the first time in his entire life, he felt like he actually existed. A good feeling. One worth living, and one worth to hold on that life. His mission, though, would mean his death. And that was what made this bond between them so dangerous.

"Never be sorry."
After all that Nebula had been through, a sudden hand raising itself towards her should have made her wince. Only memories of pain and suffering came from anyone laying a finger on her with an intention to either make her pay for her father's dues or to teach her a lesson. Yet, she stood in one place as her arms dropped to each side, her body relaxed. She remained as still as a lake on a quiet morning as the hand that reached out for her treated her with nothing but gentleness as it showed kindness to a part of her that was made out of cruelty by another. Her shameful gaze slowly tipped upwards to meet the masked stranger's once more before he finally tore himself away, settling back into a more professional manner.
"We will meet again, in two days. Same time, same place."
The masked stranger's exit was so fast and sudden, it was almost as if he had vanished from thin air. Nebula stood in place for a moment, stunned by the events that just took place on the roof top. Her mind finally caught up with her as she realized that he was gone, and her eyelids began to flutter as she started to slightly panic. Distressed, Nebula took a few quick steps forward towards the ledge that he disappeared off of, as if to run after him. Yet, he was gone, and left surrounded by the darkness of the night and the bustling city sounds from below dread began to rise within Nebula's chest as she realized she was alone again. Two days seemed like eons away, yet it gave Nebula time. She would practice retreating back to that special place that he had opened the door to, and she would become the greatest student he had ever mentored. Nebula convinced herself that she was ready to devote her entire self to this process, and little did she know that by telling herself this that she was giving herself permission to devote herself to her new master, too. Together, with their secret weapons, they would take Thanos down once and for all.

***One Day Later*** ***Nebula and Andro enter from Bar With No Name***
There was something about freestyling her way up the building that both challenged her strength and excited Nebula. With no strings attached jumping from ledges and window sills, the thought of potentially falling to sudden death pumped adrenaline through Nebula's veins. Though, tonight's adventure upwards involved a mortal human so Nebula opted for the long, rickety side ladder as she lead the way to the rooftop. Trusting he was right behind her, Nebula was anxious to get to the top. To feel what this space had offered her the past day. She could have kept this glorious gift that her new master had given to her all to herself. Yet, there was something about the man trailing behind her that she could not describe, and she felt compelled to be her vulnerable self.
Silence filled the air behind her, and Nebula wondered if he had gotten scared and abandoned her. Peering down, Nebula was going to call down to the mortal man and tell him that if he was frightened that he didn't have to continue. Yet, to her surprise he was still right behind her. Silent, yet avidly following her lead. Impressed, the strange feeling of familiarity overcame her again and instead of addressing it directly she shoved it back down and climbed over the top. She turned around to help the man over, yet she was shocked to find him already standing right behind her. Her shock gaze simmered back down to her hardened, serious look as her gaze pointed down to the Earth below.
"Every time I'm up here looking down at this city, do you know what I see?" Nebula asked, an underlying harshness was noticed in her tone as she continued to fixate her large, black eyes away from the man beside her and onto the bustling streets below.

All the while of their climbing up the building, one that he could have climbed up blindly at this point, Andro felt his heart dashing towards his chest, step by step, beat by beat. Never before had he felt like all control was in somebody else's hands. Or that was long ago, at least. He was feeling weak and vulnerable while, at the same time, excited and alive as never before. He couldn't even remember having felt so many emotions at the same time ever in his life.
Every now and then, Blue turned her head around to check if he could keep pace with her. Of course, he could. But was it wise to let her see? Andro tried to ignore her recurring looks upon him. It had been too late in the very moment that Andro had set foot onto the first step of this ladder. No, even earlier. The moment that he had accepted her invitation to follow him to this place. Their place. Once, it had been only his place, though. Sharing it with her might have been her first step to his inside world already.
Eventually, they reached the top of the building, covered in silence as they both allowed themselves to take in the surroundings, each on their own for a moment. At some point, though, Andro's eyes stopped wandering around and instead remained at Blue's sight, watching her with longing in them. Not of physical nature, or maybe not primarily. No, he just wanted to be with her, to protect her, to make this world a better place for the two of them, knowing that he couldn't, for there was only one option to heal this universe. Would it have been better if they never met? No, he wouldn't allow this thought to spread in his mind. They were meant to be, as a team. His feelings were subordinate.
Suddenly, Blue was breaking the silence, pointing to the life below as she spoke.
"Every time I'm up here looking down at this city, do you know what I see?"
Men, women, and children... ravaging along the sidewalks through the days and nights on this planet... Just... beings.
Andro remembered well what she had said, only one day ago, when she had been directing both their gazes down to the Earth below, at this very spot, same as he remembered every word she'd ever said. Not only because the mere words meant something to him, but because especially she meant something to him. Like no one ever before. Not for a very long time, at least.
However, he wasn't going to repeat her words but instead keeping his mask for as long as he could, although he knew that this would become the night of his revelation. Blue was smart, and she deserved the truth. As much of it as he was able to give her without the risk of losing her. Because that risk would mean major damage, not to himself but to the whole world. She and her knowledge were important, more than any feeling they might or might not have for each other. So, instead of serving with the answer that she possibly wanted to hear as he thought this was a test, Andro just silently followed her gaze down for a moment before he unemotionally answered: "I don't."

"I don't."
Nebula didn't expect him to know. She was lucky that he held her at enough value to verbalize an answer. There were words that her new Master had said to her the last time she had seen him. He had opened doors to planes she would have never even thought to walk on. Everything he had said, she had retained. With a new willingness to learn and a promise to wreak vengeance on her father, she was accepting of this path.
"Beings...all the same. Born into pitiful weakness, falling under Masters of destruction...Only to die weaker than when they came into this world," Nebula uttered as her gaze narrowed down into the city lights below. Pulling her eyes back up to look at the man, she had wondered if he was looking upon her with bewilderment. She was surprised to find that he was staring at her with the same expression that he had used to answer her first question. Taking a few steps away from him, Nebula turned her back on the ledge as she guided the man to the middle of the rooftop, "This is a sacred place I've brought you to. Why?" Nebula spoke in a matter of fact tone before answering her rhetorical question, "Because you're not the same as the beings that walk below us," Nebula turned around to face the man who had been silently walking behind her, listening to her every word, "You're special. Just like us. The master I serve is unlike any other I have ever met. He's going to change this world, and even worlds above. I believe it with every wire and metal part in my body," Nebula tilted her head to gaze up into the midnight sky adorned with stars and galaxies, before dropping it back down to meet this stranger's eyes on the dimly lit rooftop, "You suggested that maybe we don't have to walk alone anymore. So let's all walk together, and create a new world where no one has to feel that way anymore." Nebula spoke her plea, and she knew the worst thing this man could say was no. And to Nebula, that would be okay. She agreed to this path her master was leading her on knowing many would not agree or wouldn't be ready. But she was ready for change, for a world most accepting and a universe without Thanos.

"Beings...all the same. Born into pitiful weakness, falling under Masters of destruction...Only to die weaker than when they came into this world,"
Andro was showing no reaction at all to her words, words that he had heard before. His eyes lay on the city lights below, wandering back to the person pointing at them only for times it took to take one breath in and one breath out, with those silently inhaling her smell, her energy, all of her. Yet, when Blue turned her eyes back at him as well, Andro's features changed back into the emotionless man who he still pretended to be, as long as he'd be able to. Nervosity ascended in him when, suddenly, she moved, yet not closer but instead away from him. For a little moment, he felt an inner urge to hold her back, fearing that she might leave because he didn't let her in enough, but then she stopped her steps in the middle of the rooftop, guiding him even to follow her. He did. Still nervous, yet a little less.
"This is a sacred place I've brought you to. Why?"
At first, Andro wasn't sure if he was supposed to answer that on his part, but then, fortunately, she went on with an answer to that herself.
"Because you're not the same as the beings that walk below us,"
Andro held his breath for one or two heartbeats before trying to release a bit of his nervosity with one deep breathing out. Never had he found himself in a situation like this. He couldn't even tell if he felt positive or negative about it. He just... felt.
"You're special. Just like us. The master I serve is unlike any other I have ever met. He's going to change this world, and even worlds above. I believe it with every wire and metal part in my body,"
Suddenly, when Blue spoke of his alter ego in the third person, he reminded himself that there was still a chance she didn't know. Maybe she really didn't. But was that good? Or was that bad? Wasn't that what he wanted? Keep his mask? Then why did he feel kind of disappointed? Shouldn't he be relieved? While all these questions ran through his mind, Andro's face remained more or less the usual, one still not familiar enough to her to see a difference. Also, not for one second, any of his thoughts were about the flattering way she spoke of him. He was not that kind of person, relishing in words of praise and tribute. Yet still, hearing her say them felt somewhat different. For the while her gaze turned aside, watching the midnight sky and the stars above, the emotionless expression on Andro's face once again changed as he silently admired the view, not of the sky or the stars, but a whole new world right in front of him. Her.
"You suggested that maybe we don't have to walk alone anymore. So let's all walk together, and create a new world where no one has to feel that way anymore."
Andro hadn't been able to put his mask back up in time before she looked into his eyes again, with hers, shining like a pair of onyx with the moonlight reflecting in them. At this moment, he knew it was too late to keep his guard up or even make a step back. Instead, Andro took a step ahead. Wordlessly, he moved a little closer, lingering right in front of her for some moments before he finally spoke up as well, his voice less cold and less emotionless, giving her the same answer as he had before when they had found themselves standing in exactly this place. "I accept." Leaving her no time to react or the memory in her head to surface and combine with what was happening right here, right now, Andro was adding more words, a piece of information that he was, this time, willing to share, even made it sound like this was the sequel or rather an alternate version of their first meeting in this place. It kind of was. "And my name is Andro."

"I accept." "And my name is Andro."
It felt as if Nebula had been waiting an eternity on that rooftop for the man's verdict, and she surely was not disappointed. She did not have much time to react from one answer to the other, the second being the rapid reveal of the man's identity. Nebula had refrained from asking not only as out of respect, but also because with names comes attachment. Attachment comes with fear of loss and betrayal. Though, Nebula promised herself she would tread carefully as to protect her heart. Having already been fooled by so many, she was careful to let anyone else in.
"Andro," Holding her gaze with his, Nebula repeated out loud in a confirming manner as she nodded her head, "Our master will be pleased to hear this. To hear of you. Our kind must unite and rise up. We were made for times such as these," Nebula felt as if she was grasping her new master's concept, piece by piece. She understood that things would become more clear as they inched closer to their goals and destinations, especially killing Thanos. Finally turning her head away to the side, Nebula began to turn her body around to the darkened, glimmering horizon once more, "I will give you nothing but praise to our master, and he will be sure to recruit you. I'll find you in the bar again in a couple of nights with a final answer," Nebula suddenly sprinted to the rooftop's edge, and in one swift movement she jumped upwards onto the ledge. The horizon that began to glow with the gold of the morning sun was Nebula's backdrop as she dropped her gaze down on Andro one more time, "And my name's Nebula." Leaving Andro with that revelation, she leaped off the edge and disappeared into the city below.

"Andro,"
It still felt surreal to hear her calling out his name; The whole situation. That now she knew who he...
"Our master will be pleased to hear this. To hear of you. Our kind must unite and rise up. We were made for times such as these,"
She doesn't. For a short moment, the surprise, the disappointment even, was visible on Andro's features, yet it seemed that Blue didn't notice; Or maybe he had been so good at wearing a mask for so long that it was still in place, even in a moment where it felt like standing before her without it. At this point, Andro wanted her to know, wanted to set this right before she would leave. But he was like frozen; Glued to the spot. And when he saw her turning her head away from him, Andro knew that the moment was gone.
"I will give you nothing but praise to our master, and he will be sure to recruit you. I'll find you in the bar again in a couple of nights with a final answer,"
No, wait, Andro mentally reached out to her, still standing in his spot, his inner protest not a bit shown on his features. He watched her in silence as she started sprinting towards the rooftop's edge, jumping upwards. Andro's heart made a jump as well when Blue turned around to him one last time. It is me. I am the one you call master.
"And my name's Nebula."
Nebula... Still showing no reaction at all, not on the outside at least, Andro gazed after her, after Nebula, as she disappeared into the city below. Suddenly, a long-lost emotion rose in him. Anger. About his loss for words. About the following days that he had to spend alone, thinking of her and this very moment. He knew they would see each other again, but then there will be a mask on his face again. It was hard to put it off once, but it will be even harder to do so twice.
Andro remained on top of the roof for another while, motionless, before, maybe after minutes, maybe after hours, he climbed back downstairs, leaving this place with a feeling that he had felt feeding on him so many times in the past, telling himself that it would never happen again. But it did.
*** Andro exits ***

*** The Next Day *** Crossing her legs together, Nebula dropped her bottom down in the middle of the top of the clock tower building as she awaited the next meeting. It had felt as if it had been a minute since she had been in the presence as her new master. Yet, she had been learning and practicing and could only hope that he would be pleased with her progress. Not only that, but she anxiously awaited to inform her master of new recent developments. A new member, anticipating entry into their clan. Soon Nebula felt that she would have a big enough army once again to take down Thanos, all the while fulfilling the worldwide mission that her master was looking to seek. Closing her eyes, she listened for any sort of indicator that anyone would be approaching the rooftop soon, yet could only hear the soft whispers of the wind. She wondered if he would even come this day, or if she would have to wait even longer to speak to her new master again.
