[ Nebula's response lacks the usual metalic tinge her answers often do, but it is no less sharp. It is affronted, like the sheer idea of challenging what she believes in is enough to make her go No you. And it is. It always has been, if someone challenged her she always rose to meet it. ]
[ And then in that same defiance she addresses: ]
I have seen worlds destroyed. I have been the sword to help massacre countless lives in my father's pursuit of balance. He believed his will was right - that the billions of people in the universe would thank him if he just got rid of half of all life.
All he needed was six stones of great power. [ Six oracles, this is how she connects it.. ] When he achieved that he achieved his goal.
[ She does not say 'we'. There is no intonation that she followed him anymore; That whatever was there, whatever had happened - she does not believe in. There's a feeling of loss, a whirlwind of emotion that's anger and sadness and hatred balled into one. ]
It took us five years. The universe was in shambles. Five years to reverse what he had done and kill him for good.
[ What she hopes is for good. She does not believe even this damned place would be so cruel as to wake him at the tree one day - And if it did she would not hesitate to find him, kill him, and crush that shard in her hand. (Or so she tells herself). ]
I believe because I've beat these odds before. And I will not let this damned place take my home from me again.
[ "Home". Family. Knowhere. It had taken Nebula far too long to find a purpose for her life that wasn't under her father's thumb. Most of her life lost to experimentation and pain. She had been so angry - so full of it - she never thought she'd be free. Now, she's found a purpose that isn't anger and violence. Even if it means fighting here. ]
