My super family

Pt 71

The sun on the planet was slowly setting.

It had been hours since the others had dusted away.
All hope seemed to be lost.
Thanos got what he wanted. What was the point now

Nebula had gotten up and gone to her ship a while ago.
Dad and I haven't moved. His grip hasn't loosened.

I stare at the spot I last saw my brother. It still doesn't feel real.
I want to cry more but I can't feel anything at this point

"Stark" I hear nebula say

Dad doesn't answer

"Stark.." Nebula says slowly coming closer to us

No answer

"it seems there's no hope left but we have a ship and you and your daughter need to get home don't you?" Nebula tries to talk to him

I can tell dad is listening but he hasn't given an answer yet.

"Does the ship fly?" He says quietly after a moment

"I haven't tried yet" Nebula answers

Dad stays quiet.

I watch the sun turn into a sliver

"Listen. Once the sun is gone there's a chance you could freeze from the cold. I suggest coming inside" Nebula says in a snippy voice. I can tell she cares though

Dad begins to get up and brings me up with him.

"Come on kid" he says lifting me up

We sit inside the ship as nebula powers it up.
The inside lights come on, as does the control panel.

The right wing is basically gone, and the engine is shot.

Nebula gives up and says we will work on it tomorrow.

I lean into dad and try my hardest to fall asleep.
When I do finally fall asleep my mind clouds with nightmares of what happened.

In the morning I wake to find dad isn't next to me
My mind goes to panic thinking that he's gone just as Peter is.

Then I hear him speaking outside. My heartbeat returns to normal

I exit the ship to find them talking about fixing the wing.

Over the next few days dad and Nebula Fix the wing. I offer to help but dad says there isn't much for me to do.

With the wings fully functional our only problem is the engine.
I get to work with them on that since mechanics is something I've always been good at.

For meals we share small heated space foods. I don't dare ask what's actually in it since I might just throw up.

In a short 5 days we get the ship into the air.
Space is beautiful, but I've never missed home so much.

By day 14 we've gotten pretty comfortable on this small ship. I've gotten closer with nebula as well. She's a bit dark and mean, but she has a nice side

"So this is who girls like here in space?" I ask her as I look at a space magazine

"I don't.. but Mantis likes him. His name is zorburg. A singer." Nebula points to the cover

"Cool. He's no brendon urie or Shawn mendes that's for sure." I nod and she just gives me a confused look

"It's insane. Who would love someone who they don't even know" Nebula scoffs throwing the magazine

"I guess you're right. It's girl stuff I guess. You and I are different" I smile and she gives me a small smile back

"Dinner time" dad comes over to the table holding the small bag of space food that nebula says is a delicacy
