"NOWHERE TO RUN FROM THIS-

---------------------------------------


-Skylar watched the game in front of her with weary eyes. Tony flicked his paper football forward. Nebula shot up to catch it in her hand with a growl. Tony leaned back. "You don't need to do that," He positioned his fingers as the goal. "Because uh...you just hold it in this position." Nebula took two shots that were close until finally, the third one went in. "That's a goal."

Nebula nodded. "I would like to try again." The two went back and forth. In one of Tonys shots, Skylars lips twitched as she lifted her index finger and the football went soaring away from Nebulas hand goal. Tonys eyes slightly narrowed. "You see that....she just cheated." He said. Nebula cocked her head at Skylar. "Because she did that, I get another try." He shot but failed. "And that was terrible. You have a chance to win." Nebula easily flicked and went over the goal.

"Aaaand....you won." Tony said. Nebula stared. "Congratulations. Fair game." Tony held out his hand to shake with Nebulas. "Good sport. You're fun." Nebula nodded, sitting correctly into her seat. "It was fun."

Skylar softly smiled. Her head bobbed forward constantly as her eyes also tried to flutter close. Nebula and Tony glanced at her. "Hey, you okay?" Tony asked the teen. Skylars eyes moved to Tony to respond weakly, "Perfect."

Things were just over with Skylar. She didn't notice how messy she looked, or the difference in her figure, or the black in her eyes, or her split lip. The long cut from the battle was now nothing but a scar. But the other two did notice the heavy toll. Skylar no longer felt anything but the urge to drift off into the darkness.

She had chosen to forget what had happened 22 days ago. She had officially run out of tears and her cheeks were still dry stained with the trail of them. Before she knew it, her eyes closed and fell to sleep.

She was woken up by soft taps on her shoulder. Her eyes slightly opened to see Nebula standing in front of her. "Come look at him." She mumbled. Skylar made an attempt to stand up but she was unsuccessful. Nebula helped. She held Skylar as they walked to the front of the ship.

Skylars face saddened seeing the man laying on the floor. She shakily crouched down to be with Tony. She looked at the man. Nebula picked up Tony to place him on a seat. Bowing her head and touching his shoulder before walking away. Skylar stayed on the ground, staring up at him.

Her talk with him had ended a few days ago. The beginning of their days here were passed by telling stories of themselves. They had bonded somehow.

Skylar hung her head at the memory of everything. And just as quick she blocked them.

A few moment later, something woke her up. Through her eyelids, a bright golden light burned. She rose her head up and squinted her eyes due to the brightness. The light dimmed to see a women with a suit and blond hair hovering outside the ship.
