    Summary

    Nebula surveys the burnt orange landscape. “My ship is destroyed. I don’t know how Quill and the others got here, but I’ve scanned and cannot find his ship, either. The ship you came in can be ransacked for parts, but it won’t fly again. I’m going to need to build a ship. I may require your assistance in moving pieces. Your suit looks like it can adequately weld.” She looks down at him dispassionately. “You owe me a debt now.”

    Tony should probably be worried about that. What a clearly dangerous alien considers a debt. As it is, he can’t bring himself to care. He raises himself to his feet, wincing slightly, and looks around. The planet is decaying, but also looks to be the equivalent of a junkyard. There’s always something salvageable in a junkyard.

     

    Where Nebula and Tony build a ship to get to Earth and awkwardly talk about their issues when neither of them are particularly good at that.

    Summary

    Kate looked at the burnt nankhatai, the evidence of her afternoon’s failure. Her mother would have known what to do. Mary Sharma, who’d married an Indian man and learned to make his family’s recipes despite knowing nothing about that kind of cooking, who’d built a life in a country that wasn’t hers and made it work through sheer force of will and love, would’ve known what to do.

    But Mary Sharma was dead, and Kate was standing in a kitchen that cost more than her mother’s entire house, fighting with her husband about whether she was grateful enough for the life he’d given her.
