Well, this was different. A decade ago, the idea that someone would ever say that to her was out of the question. It would have been laughable to even think it could happen.

But a lot had changed since then. Nebula had become a much different, much better person. She'd helped save the universe from Thanos, and after the blip, had joined up with the Guardians.

Hearing Mantis say those words... well, it was a reminder of how much she'd changed. The cyborg was visibly surprised for a few moments, before letting out a light chuckle. "Well, that's a first. haven't heard that one very often."

Nebula tried to play it off as best she could, but it was clear from her voice that hearing that from Mantis had meant a lot to her.

"You're not bad for someone from this planet." Nebula stated from where she stood, watching the other battle what appeared to be, from Nebula's point of view, aliens of some kind. Because they definitely did not look human.

She knew she could help end it quicker but, quite frankly, she didn't feel like it.

Nebula took a few moments to process this, considering how to respond. She'd spent a long time improving as a person, putting her painful past behind her. Hearing Mantis's words reaffirmed to her that she truly had become a better person than she used to be.

Eventually, after a moment of silence, Nebula would gently pull Mantis into a hug, albeit hesitantly as though she were afraid she might accidentally hurt her. She'd never been much of a hugger, so this was rare for her.

"Thank you..."

@heroicmultiverse continued from here

The Guardians had come a long way, and Mantis was proud of them all. They were family, always willing to support and protect one another... and Nebula was no different.

Nebula's reaction told Mantis that she had done the right thing by speaking her mind around the woman. Nebula deserved to feel appreciated just like everyone else.

"I mean it," she said. "You are doing great as the leader of Knowhere. The children feel safe with you. People feel safe with you. And so do I."

Left to right is Nebula, Star, and Comet. They're Muse Sprites! Their whole goal and purpose for being is to inspire people to create. The three are especially fond of reading and writing, so they help run a book club!

@nebula-gaster (Astaroth and Octavia)

"Just how far does this frost go..?!" Octavia glared as she tried in vain to clear the ice from one of the bigger guest rooms. Her uncle, even in death left a mess for her to clean, and it was proven to be too much for the princess to handle. Perhaps if her magical skills were more advanced she could remove it with ease...

Heaving a sigh, the princess attempted to go back to the task at hand when one of her servants came in.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, but Duke Astaroth is here to see you."

Hearing that a high profile goetia had come unannounced, Octavia immediately straightened her posture. "Please bring him into the parlour and get him set up with refreshments. I will be down shortly."

The imp butler bowed before immediately leaving, giving the princess a few moments to compose himself.

"I can do this. I can do this," she muttered, hurrying to her room to fix herself up before making her way to the parlour. She left her normal outfit on since she had yet to find a more mature, appropriate outfit to wear in its place.

Upon entering the parlour, Octavia gave a smile, though one tinged with nerves and inexperience. "Good day, Duke Astaroth. I hope I haven't kept you waiting." Her husband was currently tending to other affairs, leaving Octavia to greet him herself.

I will have you know that I do not have pants. I lack the legs for them.

...and even if I did, I would like for you to know that I have "kept it in my pants" for THREE minutes today, thank you. One must ensure that ALL of one's lovers are pleased, after all.

[ironman-tonystark]

I need to stop making friends with so many people that excel at standing in the shadows holding knives. My heart isn't strong enough to deal with those kind of jump scares.

[crabsnpersimmons]

These nerds would never give up the opportunity to give creative advice! (It would probably be more helpful if they didn't all speak at once though...)

OUGH BEETLE I WOKE UP TO THIS BEAUTIFUL ART THIS MORNING THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS!!

COMET NEBULA AND STAR MY BELOVEDS

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD ADVICE THANK YOU!!

OUGHHH I HOLD THEM I HOLD THEM

(For Berenice) Pros of Adventuring a new Dungeon: Brand new loot you can grab and probably level up with!

Cons of Adventuring a new Dungeon: You don't know that it's filled to the BRIM with Mimics, and that the most splendid chest of them all is one... and is looking at you hungrily-

It makes sense that the only dungeon she could actually enter at her level was such a tricky one... and she didn't have the in-game knowledge yet to avoid all of these traps... Oh well, just another night of getting reamed, as expected...

//After they bonded on the ship, I'd like to think that Tony and Nebula kept in touch during the 5 year timeskip. Maybe even came down to visit if she had the time.

Going Knowhere || closed with thenexusofsouls

She was home. Mantis was finally home again. Not because Knowhere was her home as a place, but because home was where the Guardians were.

It had been two years since Mantis chose to bid farewell to the Guardians, leaving to find her own purpose while Quill left to return to Earth. The Celestial siblings had stopped running from their past, and it was freeing, as scary as the choice had been. Mantis had taken the three Abilisks with her… and the green seed Nuada gave her, of course.

Moments after landing, Mantis was greeted by some of the residents that lived on Knowhere. She rarely wanted to draw attention to herself, but she knew the three giant Abilisks would attract a few looks. Drax was all over her. He had picked her up at least three times to hug her, tightly squeezing Mantis until her eyes bulged from her skull. Part of the reason why Mantis had been at peace leaving his side was because now there were other children, children who needed him, after he spent years protecting Mantis since she reminded him of his daughter.

“Okay, Drax, enough! I want to say hello to everyone else,” she exclaimed, patting his back until he finally put her down.

Nebula, Kraglin and Adam hugged her affectionately, but soon enough Groot pushed them aside so he could hug Mantis, as well as Rocket. Cosmo licked Mantis’ face and Mantis giggled, patting the dog’s head. Cosmo was still the best girl in the galaxy.

When Mantis asked where Quill was, Drax told her he was still on Earth, but he wrote to the Guardians regularly to let them know he was okay. They were family, all of them, and they would always be.

“I say we throw a party tonight,” Rocket suggested. “You’re back, bug. We've gotta celebrate. What do ya think?”

“That sounds good! Thank you, Rocket,” Mantis said.

“Abilisks!” someone cried nearby, and collective screaming followed.

After reassuring everyone that the Abilisks were with her, lest panic took over all of Knowhere, Mantis asked the Guardians if they knew where Prince Nuada was. She had left without saying goodbye to anyone but the Guardians, and she wondered if Nuada would be angry with her. Rocket and Groot offered to look after her Abilisks while Mantis looked for the Elven Prince.

Mantis walked with more self-assurance than before. She no longer held her hands in front of her body, letting her arms swing at her sides instead. She was more poised now, secure in herself yet more mellow. Confident – but not unfriendly. As if her two years of complete independence had allowed her to grow more than her several centuries with Ego. She wandered over to the spot where Nuada was, following the direction Rocket had told her, and a few bark children appeared to say hello. Mantis smiled and waved at them. She remembered taking them to Knowhere shortly after bringing Nuada's people, as well as Mr. Wink. She never wanted Nuada to choose either his people or his friends; he could have both. She tilted her head when she spotted Nuada, and offered a polite smile.

"Hello," she said, trying not to make things awkward. "Good to see you," she added. "Okay, I know I left without saying goodbye, but... I already said goodbye to my friends, and I realized if I stayed a little longer to say goodbye to everyone, I would not leave. I would just think about how much I would miss everyone and stay. The seed is fine, by the way! I have been speaking to it regularly and making sure it knew it was a good seed. My Abilisks would keep it safe when I couldn't, so... yeah."

"Andrealphus." Astaroth made no announcement as to his arrival before simply appearing in front of the icy prince, still wearing the deep red royal robes he'd worn to the trial not too long ago. "I've got a question for ya regarding a certain... decision you made, in regard to the trial against that imp." The great duke's voice was low, soft, like a blade sliding across a whetstone.

Andrealphus turned to Astaroth, any attempt at a greeting falling flat when the Great Duke spoke. Judging from his tone, the former marquis guessed that this was going to be a difficult conversation.

"What is it you wish to ask?"
