Hello readers, here is an interesting story. It's a NebulaxOC story, takes place during the sequel. Finn is captured by the Sovereign as well, a wrong place at the wrong time situation. Finn is very special, he is a Celestial, an incarnation of all six Infinity Stones, but to a lesser extent.
I don't own any of the Marvel characters in this story, nor do I own Guardians of the Galaxy, I do not own the name Infinity as well.
The Guardians of the Galaxy had done it again. They had saved an entire race once more, only this time it was from a extra-dimensional monster, called the Abilisk.
Now they stood before the Golden High Priestess of the Sovereign, Ayesha.
"Thank you once again Guardians," she says.
"While we do appreciate the gratitude High Priestess," Gamora said, annoyed and now a little impatient after Peter had unintentionally flirted with the priestess. "But you promised us a certain payment."
"Of course," she said and then gestured the guards to bring in their payment, a wanted person. They removed the bag off the person's face to reveal a female Kree, with cybernetic machinery on one side of her face.
"Hello Gamora," she said to Gamora.
"Nebula", she said with venom in her voice.
"I'm told that she is your sister," Ayesha said.
"She means nothing to me but the bounty on her head," Gamora pointed out while grabbing her and beginning to walk away, the rest of the Guardians following.
"Before you go," the priestess called out and they stopped and looked back. "Would you like her partner in crime as well?"
"Partner?," Star-Lord said. The guards then brought out a man, about his height, wearing an almost all black suit, black boots and all. The only parts that weren't black were his shoulder pads and the vambraces he wore, the pads were dark silver, and the vambraces were the same color. He was very well built, about the same as Star-Lord was, if not a little skinnier. He also wore a blank dark silver mask that had two simple lines of white light, showing where his eyes were.
"We caught him with her trying to steal the batteries as well," the priestess said. "He's yours to take if you'd like. His name is Finn, he is almost as wanted as this Nebula is."
"Yeah we'll take him too," Peter said grabbing him by the shoulder. When he did so, for a moment he felt something that seemed almost like a familiarity, and Finn seemed to feel it as well.
"One last thing, Mr. Quill," Ayesha said. "What is your heritage?"
"My mother was of Earth."
"And your father?"
"... He ain't from Missouri. That's all I know."
"I sense in you something... dangerous. An unorthodox genealogy that seems particularly... reckless."
This confused everyone, except maybe Finn.
"You know, I was told that you were all a bunch of conceding douchebags, but that ain't true at all," Rocket Raccoon said, but then winking at his fellow Guardians, only with the wrong eye, so everyone saw it.
"You used the wrong eye, genius," Finn said, making the furry cyborg glare at him. They all began to walk away, with Drax getting mad at Rocket.
"Count yourself blessed they didn't kill you," he said.
"You're tellin' me," Rocket said back then showed him that he had some of their batteries. "Wanna buy some batteries?"
Drax laughed loudly at his joke but Finn, who had also seen them, shook his head.
"Something tells me that this day will get a whole lot worse soon," he said to Quill.
"For you maybe," Star-Lord said.
"For all of us. Pretty sure your oversized pet hamster is gonna get us all in trouble."
"That hamster thing was funny," Peter commented. "But Rocket would never do anything that stupid."
"Fine," Finn said. "Don't listen to me. But I expect an apology if that happens."
The leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy merely rolled his eyes and they kept moving.
They soon reached the Milano, and Peter began changing as Gamora adjusted Nebula's restraints.
"That stuff about my father," he said. "Who does she think she is?"
"Oh, does someone have daddy issues?," Finn teased.
"Abandonment issues, and I don't know who my father is."
"Let me go and I can help you with that."
"Nice try, but that's not happening," Gamora said and she led them down the hallway.
"By the way, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was flirting with the High Priestess," Peter called out. "I wasn't."
"I wouldn't care," she said back.
"Look on your face says different," Finn said.
She remained silent and soon they arrived at their destination and she began tying Nebula to a central post retreading from the ceiling. Then the Kree woman saw some edible roots nearby.
"I'm hungry, those damn Sovereign people didn't feed me," she said.
"Those roots aren't ripe yet, and I hate you, so no," Gamora said, finishing cuffing her then moving onto Finn.
"You hate me? You left me there while you stole that stone for yourself. And yet here you stand, a hero. I'll be free of these shackles soon enough, and I will kill you. I swear."
"No. You are going to spend the rest of your days in a prison on Xandar, wishing you could."
"Would you two like a moment alone?," Finn asked and Gamora glared at him.
"So why are you working with her? Don't you know who she is?," she asked.
"He's/ I'm not working with me/ her!!," they both yell at the same time.
"It was merely a wrong place at the wrong time," Finn explained and the green colored ex-assassin seemed to believe it.
"Well even if you weren't working with her, you're still a criminal. And we'll deliver you to the Nova Corp as well."
"Oh no!! Not the Nova Corp!!!," Finn said, being sarcastically dramatic. "I'll be out in no time."
"Sure you will," Gamora said as she finished cuffing him and leaving him alone with Nebula. He then bent down slightly and with a little effort reached a button on his mask and it began to disintegrate away, much like Star-Lord's mask does, to reveal his face.
He seemed to be human, probably a few years younger than Peter, he was handsome, had short brown hair, and a very short beard. His eyes though, to Nebula at least, were the most unique feature about him. They were a bright golden color that made him stick out of a crowd.
"Great, another Terran," Nebula said.
"I'm not from Earth, Nebula," he said, but she seemed to ignore it.
"What were you doing there anyway when we were captured?"
"Honestly, I was waiting for that creature to come."
"Guess you were early," she commented.
"So it would seem," he said. "And I don't blame you for me getting arrested, by the way."
"What makes you think I care if you do or not?"
"Thoughts don't lie," he answered, confusing her.
"What? You read minds now?," she asked, and he nodded. "WELL STAY OUT OF MINE!!!"
"All you had to do was ask nicely," he said, unfazed by her outburst. Then they realized that they weren't alone, they turned their heads to see a three inch creature, which looked like a walking baby tree.
"Hello my little friend," Finn said with a little smile. "Who might you be?"
"I am Groot," the little tree said.
"Nice to meet you Groot, I'm Finn." Groot then smiled and was about to continue the conversation but then Rocket called out for him to come to the cockpit, so he waved goodbye and left.
"Why were you talking to that thing like that?," Nebula asked.
"Because at that size, he is still an infant."
"Whatever. Your name is Finn yes?
"Yeah, its short for Infinity."
Her eyes then widened slightly. "Infinity? Like the Infinity Stones?"
"Yeah why?"
Before she could answer though, they began hearing blasts hit the ship and soon the wall of the ship behind then was ripped off and the vacuum of space began to suck them out, but then a force field was activated and they were released from the post and fell to the floor, with Nebula landing on Finn, to which he smirked.
"You're quick," he said and she got angry and headbutted him, which barely fazed him. Then the ship was hit again and she rolled off him and on her knees, focusing her anger on the Guardians.
"IDIOTS!!!!!," she yelled.
"Don't yell at me!! It's Quill's bad piloting that got us in this mess!!," Rocket yelled back.
"Or maybe it's that he stole the Anulax Batteries," Finn said.
"Then he's definitely an idiot," she said.
Then the ship began receiving a lot of damage, and they began hearing footsteps coming towards them, just as Nebula was about to grab a root. But then Drax appeared and kicked it away.
"It's not ripe," he said.
He then put on a space suit, grabbed a rifle and attached a cable on his belt.
"So is this for an emergency or for fun?," Finn asked, reading the sign on the space suit holder.
"Bit of both," he said, knowing he was joking.
Then shielded the room and jumped out of the back of the ship and prepared to shoot the last remotely controlled Sovereign ship.
"Die, spaceship!!!," he yelled then shot and destroyed it.
Afterwards, they were able to make it out of the quantum asteroid field they were into get to the jump point they were trying to get to, only to find the Sovereign ships waiting for them.
They then began firing and they hit the cable that Drax was connected to, damaging it. The ship then tried to get moving, but were slow due to the bombardment they were receiving. Then all of a sudden, all the Sovereign ships were destroyed, and Finn felt a sense of familiarity again, stronger this time.
The ship then made it through the jump point and were crash landing on the planet. The cable then broke off the ship and Drax was almost sent flying, but Finn, who was able to get out of his cuffs, grabbed the winch it was connected to and held onto the ship wall, all the while Nebula and Gamora watched him do so. Then Nebula was thrown away from where she was and she was about to fall out but Finn stretched out his hand and she stopped in midair and Gamora went wide eyed.
'Who is this guy?,' she thought to herself.
"I'll explain later!!!," he yelled, hearing her thoughts.
Soon enough, they finally crossed onto the surface and Finn let go. Drax slowly got up, pumped up by the adrenaline.
"Ahahaha!! Yes!! That was awesome!!!," he yelled. "Thank you for saving me, silver armed man!"
Finn then looked to the Guardians for an explanation, but they simply shrugged.
Rocket and Peter began assessing the situation, whilst everyone was getting mad at each other.
"Look at this!!!," Gamora yelled. "Where's the other half of our ship?!!"
"My ship," Peter said quietly.
"What is wrong with you two?!!!," she continued to as she sat a still handcuffed Nebula down. "You two should've been focusing on what was in front of you rather than what's between your legs!!!"
"Or you should've been focusing on filling the empty space between your ears!!!," Finn said, making Drax laugh.
"That is hilarious!!," he yelled.
"You both shut up as well!!," Gamora yelled, she then cuffed Finn again.
"Really? This is the thanks I get for saving this guy?"
"You're still a criminal!," Star-Lord yelled.
"So are all of you!!"
"Not anymore, you moron!!!," Rocket said.
"He's a moron?!!," Peter yelled. "You're the one who stole the Anulax Batteries!!"
"They're called Harpulary Batteries," Drax said.
"No they're not!!"
Finn then walked walked over to sit next to Nebula as their captors argued.
"Thank you by the way," Nebula said, being sincere.
"You're welcome," he said with a smile, then turned back to Drax. "Does this happen often to you guys?"
"This time is slightly worse," he answered then Gamora turned to them.
"Before I forget," she said walking towards him. "How did you stop Nebula from falling out?"
"Simple, I have powers," Finn answered.
"I am Groot," Groot said.
"I'm technically the incarnation of the Infinity Stones."
"WHAT?!!!," everyone yelled, Groot simply yelling 'I am Groot.'
"Yup I have the powers of each one, just to a lesser extent."
Then all of a sudden another ship came through the jump point.
"That's the ship that saved us!," Rocket yelled.
"Maybe it's the one-inch man!," Drax said.
An large egg-shaped ship then landed near them and they readied their weapons.
The door open and an pale old man and a young alien woman with antennas on her head appeared.
"After all of these years, I've finally found you," the old man said.
"And who the hell are you?," Peter asked.
"Figured my rugged good looks would make that obvious. My name is Ego, and I'm your dad Peter."
Later that Night
"I sent Yondu to go and pick you up after your mother died, but he kept you. I don't have the faintest idea why though."
"Because I was small and could fit into small places," Peter said. "Good for stealing stuff."
"I thought Yondu was your father," Drax said.
"Really? This whole time you've known me, you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative?"
"You look exactly alike."
"One's blue!!" Rocket said, Drax just shrugged.
"He's not my father!!," Quill said. "He's was the man who abducted me and beat the crap out of me so I could learn how to fight. And kept me in terror by threatening to eat me!"
"Eat you?," Ego said. "Ah that son of a bitch!"
"And you fell for it?," Finn asked.
"I was eight years old when he kidnapped me!," Peter reasoned, but it was Infinity's turn to shrug.
"How did you locate us now?," Gamora asked.
"Well, even from the farthest reaches of space, we've heard of the man known as Star-Lord," he answered and Quill looked happy to hear that. "Speaking of which, how about we go there right now. Your associates are welcome. Even that triangle-faced monkey there."
He continued as Rocket checked his nose and saw that he really had a triangle face.
"There, I can explain to you your very special heritage. And maybe I can be the father I've always wanted to be. Excuse me, I've gotta take a whiz."
The old man then got up and walked away.
"Well, he is definitely related to you Quill." Finn said.
"Ahahaha! I am beginning to like this guy!," Drax said.
"Well I'm not buying it," Quill said.
"Come with me," Gamora said and they both got up and walked away to talk.
The woman who was with Ego turned to Drax.
"I am Mantis," she said grinning weirdly.
"What are you doing?," Drax asked.
"Smiling, I'm told that you should do this to get people to like you."
"Not when you do it like that."
"Oh, I was raised alone on Ego's planet. I do not understand the intricacies of social interaction. Can I pet your puppy? It is adorable," she asked referring to Rocket, and Drax looked at her for a moment then nodded.
Just before touched him, Rocket snapped at her, making her jump away and Drax began laughing.
"That is called a practical joke," he said and soon Mantis and Finn joined in as Ego returned.
"So, who might you be?," he asked Finn.
"He's a prisoner," Rocket said.
"I believe he was asking us, Rocket man," Finn said. "My name is Finn."
"Well it's nice to meet you."
"Likewise."
Soon enough, Peter and Gamora returned.
"You two done kissin' already?," Finn joked and received angry glares.
"Not funny," Gamora said.
"It's a little funny," Rocket said snickering.
Gamora then brought him back to the wreck and placed him next to Nebula.
"Stay here, criminal," she ordered.
"You got it, hypocrite," he said back, but she just walked away, then he turned to the cybernetic Kree.
"I'm actually glad she brought me in here," he said.
"Why is that?," she asked.
"Two reasons. One, I don't feel comfortable around this Ego guy."
"And the other?"
"I get to sit next to you."
Nebula stared at him, dumbfounded.
"You are by far the strangest person I've ever met," she said.
"Why is that?," he asked.
"Most tend to avoid me as much as possible."
"Well, you don't seem so bad of a person to me, and I'm a good judge of character. You've just been through too much."
"Like I said," she said. "Strangest person I've ever met."
"Well, do you like me hanging around? Cause if you don't, I'll leave you be."
"It's not that," Nebula answered. "Just not used to it."
"Want to know the real reason I was on Sovereign?"
"You said you were going to kill that creature."
"I lied because I wasn't sure if the Guardians were listening. I was there because you were. I've been looking for you since the Battle of Xandar."
"What? Why? You a bounty hunter just like them?," she asked getting angry that she was lied to.
"No," he answered. "Because I want to help you kill Thanos."
"What do you have against him?"
"He created me to try to use me as a weapon."
She nodded in understanding, but she was still processing the fact that he had told her that he was basically Thanos' son. "Alright then, you can help me. But first we'll need to get out of here."
"Don't worry about that," he said. "Opportunity always arises."
Hope you like this story. Sorry if Nebula doesn't sound so mean as she usually is, it's just that Finn did save her life and he's done nothing to her so she has no reason to be mean to him. I'll update as soon as I can, see ya later. Then
