Fear & Loathing

“ hi. ” hans spoke, bending knees so he could sit comfortably next to the person he’d chosen to address, smiling, as he watch them react. “ you wouldn’t be able to tell me where roy oliver is, would you? ”

Annoyed, Nebula turned her attention to the other person. “You can’t find anyone else to bother with this?”

“Hey!” Bo called out, catching up to the person he called to quickly, taking hold of their elbow to stop them in their tracks. “You can be my friend just for today, right?”

Nebula shot the boy a confused, disapproving look. “No.” She said firmly before shaking him off. “Go find someone desperate for friendship. There are plenty of people like that here.”

“You can leave, if you want.”

“Do’t mind if I do then.”

“That you know about at least. Careful in underestimating people, but you know, if you think you’re good, you probably are.”

“There’s not much to underestimate around here.” She thought most people fell extremely short of doing anything worth wasting her time on.

“What languages do you speak then?”

“Why do you want to know?”

“I say if we can get at least that done we will be of a fair compromise.” In just the way Nebula looked at him he could tell she wasn’t happy with everything that Vision was going to do, but he didn’t care as long as there was no one hurt, and he figured she’d find a way around things. But as long as he didn’t find out then there was nothing he could do. “Fine. But I don’t want to know about it.”  

Nebula remained calm, despite strongly disagreeing on the best way to handle the situation. She didn’t need problems with him on top of everything else. “Fine, I can keep the details of my revenge to myself. If I do decide to do something, you won’t know about it.”

“If he did overlook me after this, he’d be more of an idiot than I thought. We better really think about what we’re going to do to make it count then.”

“I want to torture him and drag it out. Make him wish he never messed with me. How long do you think we could hold him for?”

“I don’t believe it’s a rule that should have to be broken at all, perhaps negotiation would work, so circumstances would be allowed instead.” She smiled. “And.. I don’t want to get in trouble here.”

“That makes it easier on me, I guess.”

“Great for you. The lack of excitement here could probably kill me.”

“Is that a challenge?” he jested knowing he could put up a way better fight now. “Yep you’re still cocky and beautiful which makes sense. I’m still a know it all dork.” He laughed half of him Shocked at this boost of confidence.

“It wouldn’t be one for me.” She spoke confidently. “Those compliments, as nice as they are, wouldn’t make me go easy on you either.” She shrugged her shoulders lightly at him. “At least you’re not an annoying know-it-all.”

“Gee, it must be so hard for you always to be such a little bitch, eh?”

“I’m not the one bitching about having a cold.”

“I guess you could say it’s Greek to you then, huh?” He laughed.

Nebula clenched her jaw and rolled her eyes. As much as she wanted revenge right here and now, waiting to do so would have a bigger payoff. “Sure, I don’t know how to speak Greek.”

Once again they hit a bump, as much as Vision didn’t want his roommate to dislike him he had to draw the line when it came to violence when the act wasn’t necessary. “There has to be someone who can do something. If not security then I will speak to the dean. We at least deserve to have our things replaced.” 

Nebula didn’t like that her roommate was so opposed to getting a violent revenge, but she did agree that they should get their things replaced. She would at least wait until then to get her revenge on whoever did this to them. “Fine, if security doesn’t do anything we can talk to the dean to get someone to replace everything and paint over the walls. I promise not to do anything that would shed blood until then at least.”

“Still, wouldn’t want someone to get the drop on you by thinking they won’t hold a secret grudge. That’s how you get killed.”

“There are very few people here who could even come close to being able to kill me so I think I’ll be fine.”

“Part of me feel like Tony and Esme wouldn’t have done things. Hermes…I might be able to see it. But I don’t know the rest of the people you listed.” 

“I think my best bet would be Hermes. He hates me for a number of things and is childish enough to do this.”

“There are advantages to not jumping into that fight at that party, and it helps that I act more like I’m tired of the world than I am pissed off at it. It helps people to overlook people like me, which helps me more in the end.”

“Whatever works to help us out with this. I assume Hermes won’t overlook you too much after this but I don’t think that’ll matter too much as long as we make whatever we do to him really count.”
