Summary
“What is your ship called?” Mantis asks. Asking any question of Nebula is very hit or miss, she is finding. This one seems to hit.
“Silent Death,” she says in her low, husky voice. “Though Thanos’s death will be anything but silent.”
“Oh. I see.” Mantis says politely.
“Do you?”
“No."
___
Nebula doesn’t especially like Mantis. Mantis is mostly ambivalent towards Nebula. But Mantis needs a ride, and Nebula’s got a ship. AKA Mantis and Nebula’s Road Trip of Revenge (and Love!).
Set in the period between GOTG2 and Infinity War. Title and inspiration from Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, and written for BugborgWeek2023 day 5: based on a song.

Summary
“You are full of it,” Mantis says, awestruck. She can’t quite grasp how she’s never seen it before. Mantis is not one to be blinded by outward appearance or demeanor- her very nature allows her to look past all that, whether she’s touching someone or not. But Nebula- Nebula has built up so many walls, inside and out, that the essence of her has somehow slipped past Mantis’s notice.
“Say what you mean, or don’t say anything at all,” Nebula says flatly.
“Love,” Mantis says. “You are so full of love.”
__
In which Nebula and Mantis are both practically overflowing with love for the universe surrounding them. Mantis is just better at showing it. A lil bugborg oneshot with a healthy heaping of Guardians found family, set sometime after Endgame and before GOTG3.

And this time, unlike countless others, she won’t fail to act.
For Starlord Week 2018 Day 3 – The Chain
