The Journey of a Bounty Hunter (Nebula x Male Reader)

Taserface

Things were bad and it was just a gentle way of putting it.

The Ravagers, dozens of them, were the first thing that Y/N saw when he regained his consciousness. He flinched a bit at the pain he felt when he tried to move his wrists. He tried to stand up, but was unable to because he was strapped to a chair. He didn't had to guess where he was. It was quite obvious for him that he was taken straight to the Ravagers ship after he and Rocket were knocked unconscious by Nebula. He looked around himself, and saw Rocket just moment later. His partner was strapped to a chair as well, and just like him was unable to move.

He looked around himself once again, this time attempting to spot Groot. He wanted to know if they caught him too, even though the answer was quite obvious for him. It took him several seconds to spot a little cage right above him. He could feel anger building inside of him when he saw who was placed in that cage. Groot glanced down at Rocket and Y/N, fearfully and shrieked when one of the Ravagers screamed at him.

Y/N even spotted Nebula. She stood away from the Ravagers in the background, minding her own business. He didn't paid much attention to her, because she wasn't on his mind right now.

Yondu was sitting right in front of him and Rocket. He just stared at the floor with blank expression on his face as one of the Ravagers that remained loyal to him was dragged into to the other side of the room. He slammed his hand against the window a few times while the other Ravagers were simply waving at him. The other doors opened and threw him out into space where he suffocated.

Y/N cringed a bit after seeing what happened to the Ravager. His and Rocket's situation was far away from perfect, but they were getting off easy, at least for now, considering what the Ravagers were doing to the ones that remained loyal to Yondu.

"You're the one what killed those men by leading them down the wrong path." The scarred man that Y/N recognized from earlier approached Yondu, "Because you're weak." He punched him, "And stupid!" He punched him once again. He turned away from his now former captain and stopped in the middle of the room, making sure that all of the Ravagers had their eyes on him, "It's time for the Ravagers to rise once again to glory with a new captain Taserface!"

The Ravagers all bursted into cheers as Taserface simply enjoyed the moment of everyone cheering at him. But all that cheering stopped when the Ravagers heard someone laughing. Taserface's grin faded fom his face as he turned back to look at Rocket and Y/N to see both of them laughing. Laughing, despise the fact that they were in his custody and that he could have killed them for even looking at him wrong.

"I'm sorry." Rocket barely stopped himself from laughing again, "Your name is Taserface?"

Taserface nodded his head in confirmation, "That's right."

"Do you shoot tasers out of your face?" Rocket asked.

Taserface raised his hands in the air, declaring proudly, "It's metaphorical!"

Y/N exchanged confused looks with Rocket, before titling his head in confusion, "How?" 

"For it is a name what strikes fear..." Taserface began, raising his hands for another time, "...Into the hearts of anyone what hears it!"

The Ravagers nodded their heads, agreeing with their new captain, but this explanation got completely different reactions from a certain raccoon and a certain human.

"Okay." Rocket nodded his head. He and Y/N were seconds away from bursting into laughter again. They knew how bad their situation was, but they simply couldn't help themselves. This name was just so ridiculous. 

Y/N nodded his head in agreement, chuckling, "Whatever you say."

Taserface glared at them and pulled out a small blade, "You shut up, both of you. You're next." He turned to look at Yondu again, pressing his blade against Udonta's throat again, "Udonta, I have waited a long time to do..."
