Unmasked, Andro stood in front of her. He wasn't able to say anything himself, for he was too afraid words might send her away, if his revelation wouldn't do so already. And then, finally, she spoke up again, her words not what he had expected, for they weren't of rage, nor did they sound like she was going to leave him.
"My question still stands...,""Who...are you?"
"I am still the same man," Andro found his voice back then as well. "And one more," he added. Two persons she had met, united in the one standing before her. "And I- would still like to teach you my ways. If you would still like me to be your teacher. If you can get used to the idea that I am only human." Never did Andro see anything negative in that, quite the contrary, but ever since he met Nebula, he wished to be whoever she wanted to have by her side.

"I am still the same man," "And one more," "And I- would still like to teach you my ways. If you would still like me to be your teacher." 'If you can get used to the idea that I am only human.'
Nebula stared at him as he spoke the cryptic words in her direction. She was trying to hard to understand the master before her and what he meant. By now, he figured he loved riddles and code. That slightly agitated her, as she was the complete opposite with her bold and forward ways. She shook her head in a fashion that spoke that she was giving up on trying to figure him out, "What is one more, if you are only human?" Nebula questioned him in her confused state, "You cannot be man and one more at the same time. Unless you're crazy. I've encountered a human or two in the alleyways who claimed they were more than one. They were crazy." Nebula spoke in correction. She knew of beings beyond this world that could be more than one being, but never a human.

"What is one more, if you are only human?""You cannot be man and one more at the same time. Unless you're crazy. I've encountered a human or two in the alleyways who claimed they were more than one. They were crazy."
At first, Andro looked at her in confusion as well, until it dawned on him that she got him completely wrong. He made another step in her direction, still giving her enough space to feel safe though. His features softened a little. "I did not mean it that way. I am just one person. But you got to know me as two." She certainly would want to know why that was, and he would probably have to explain it to her, his insecurities that he thought made him weak. But, for now, he was just standing there, waiting for her to react to the little words he gave her already.

"I did not mean it that way. I am just one person. But you got to know me as two."
Nebula grew even more puzzled by his words. Perhaps she still had some Earth terminology or phrases to catch up on. Yet, how he spoke still did not make much sense to her. Nebula worked well with literal terms instead of metaphors and poetic phrases. She slowly shook her head back and forth negatively as she stared at her master with an increasingly perplexed look, "I...still don't understand. Why would that be?" Nebula questioned him as they stood across from one another.

"I...still don't understand. Why would that be?"
"Do you not- recognize me?" he asked a counter question then, still unsure if she actually understood because she was still looking at him in confusion. "I am Andro. We met in that pub. You brought me up here last time then," Andro added, in case there was a chance she had simply forgotten him. Still, he hoped that wasn't the case. It would hurt him deeply.

"Do you not- recognize me?" "I am Andro. We met in that pub. You brought me up here last time then,"
Nebula had been so shell shocked that she did not even recognize that very man she conversed with in the bar. The one she lead up to her place of secrecy. Perhaps her brain had been in denial, and yet her senses recognized him all at once in this moment. Her jaw unconsciously slightly opened in awe, she took a few cautious steps towards him before everything sank in, "A-andro? It's you?" Nebula spoke in shock as she was still in disbelief, "You-you're the man in the mask? The master?" She questioned him as she approached closer, her fingertips hesitantly reaching out to touch his face. As if this wasn't real. As if this was nothing but a dream. But it wasn't. It was real. He was real.

At this very moment, Andro wanted nothing more than to lean into the touch of her delicate hand on his face. Maybe he even did just a little bit, although rather unconsciously. His energy, on the other hand, leaned into it completely and well aware, connecting with hers once again. It gave him a warm feeling that sent him into kind of an absent state for a couple of seconds even, until Andro took in their surroundings again, realizing what he just did, on what level at that. Nebula, for now, might not be able to completely sense what he did when reaching out to her like this, but she surely had sensed at least a part of that as well.
Andro quickly tried to remember her questions from before, then finally replied to them with confirmation. "I am." He also tried to hide the uncertainty that came along with his revelation, yet his voice contained at least a bit of that. Would she still want to go on as they did? Or would she see him differently now?

" I am."
Nebula gazed upon him, her hand stretched out towards his cheek as she was frozen in time. She wasn't exactly sure to make of his revelation. Only that she had dipped her heart and soul into what he had to offer, and she showed no signs of backing away. Her hand affectionately cupped his cheek more than she ever did before. There was something that had drawn her closer to him. Power, it may be. She could sense the immense power that he held not only over her, but over the other potential lives of this plane. And she craved for more, "Whether you are Andro or my master...I am here. Ready to serve beyond compare." Nebula shed passionately as she only craved to be in his presence in this very moment in time.

When her hand cupped his cheek just some more, affectionately as never before, Andro couldn't help but lean into it now also physically. The movement was only a slight one but surely would reveal that affection was coming from him as well. He was still afraid to show more of that, however. Somebody once had rejected him, not immediately but after a while. Even with feelings not involved as much as they were with Blue, it had been hard for Andro to accept, had made him go furious, on the inward same as on the outward. There was just too much at stake this time, for more than only one reason.
"Whether you are Andro or my master...I am here. Ready to serve beyond compare."
At that, actually a smile, even if very slightly, appeared around his lips before he reminded himself of the things that were at stake. Andro tried swallowing down his feelings as he reached out to her hand with his, yet only to make her draw her hand back a little, not at all in rejection but a way of reminding both of them that they were nothing but a teacher and his student. He wanted them to be much more.
"And I am ready to teach you everything I know," Andro replied to her words much more professional again, much more like he was used to talk with people.

"And I am ready to teach you everything I know,"
Nebula stood there frozen in time, her hand still remained resting on his warm, pulsating cheek. She held her gaze with Andro's, as they shared this very pivotal moment. Perhaps this was her future. Maybe even...he was her future. Nebula was ready to live a life of peace, without turmoil of who was going to wrong her next. Without worrying about traveling her course as a lone wolf. She was ready to be accepted, by the right person. And Andro...he felt right. She nodded silently after a moment before departing from him sheepishly, "Forgive me, I am not used to this...kind of treatment," Nebula admitted as she turned her head to the side.

"Forgive me, I am not used to this...kind of treatment,"
Despite his intention of making this more professional again, Andro couldn't help but grab her hand once she turned slightly away from him. She seemed... affected. Could it be that she was affected... to him? They might not know each other for long, yet still, it felt like an eternity to him. Andro had seen her, her true self.
"Please... don't," he almost whispered, unable to take his eyes off her. Eventually, though, his gaze wandered down to their hands, their touch, and back into her eyes. "There is nothing to forgive."

"Please... don't," "There is nothing to forgive."
"Then I will not apologize again...for feeling. As hard as that may be." Nebula vowed, as she peered from the side to down to his hands connected with hers. She nodded with emotion as she took a step towards acceptance. He accepted her, and was willing to take her in when no one else in the moment was there for her. And to her, right here and right now, that was the greatest gift anyone could give her. To accept her and work by her side to bring justice to herself, her brothers and sisters, and to the world.

Andro was glad about her reaction, her acceptance. They were standing like that for some more seconds before he reminded himself of the actual togetherness they had. They were master and pupil after all. And she still had a lot to learn.
With their hands parting, it became easier for Andro to get back to professional. On this night, he didn't want to overdo it with her though. Giving her some more advice would do for a day. Many more should follow anyway, until they, eventually, would become a real team.
