Widow: Well, one less girl in the tower. One less mouth to feed. Gonna miss her.

You had just finished telling Widow about Felicia leaving after your goodbye. You were still dealing with it, but you knew you would be fine eventually.

Besides, it turns out you had other things to worry about.

Sam: Y/N!

You and Widow jumped at the boy's sudden arrival. He rushed into the room and stopped in front of you.

Sam: Quick, I need your help!

You and Widow looked at each other.

Y/N: Uh, why?

Sam: Cause I was off in space and I was coming back to earth when my vision went black and I thought I was blind but it turns out I wasn't but now I can see these weird dot things and I realized that they're actually points that are attached to places in space and they all lead me to Nova Corp helmets and so I need you to come into space with with and help me find all of them because you're the only one I know who could possibly survive the vacuums of space.

You and Widow looked at Sam for a moment before you stood up and pulled out your mask.

Y/N: Okay. Let's do this.

Monster:
Year 1

You flew alongside Nova towards Arizona where he lived. A small town the size of a postage stamp really.

Carefree, Arizona.

Venom: Oh! A cactussss!

Sam landed and pulled off his helmet as you pulled off your mask. You wore your uniform under your clothes while Sam's uniform dissapered when he pulled of the helmet. He hurried over towards a house where a woman was standing. Must be his mom.

She noticed Sam and you.

Mrs. Alexander: I was starting to worry that you forgot you needed to babysit tonight.

Sam: Oh....yeah. Uh, no way I would forget. Oh! And this is Y/N. My friend.

His mom looked at you and you shook her hand with a wink.

Y/N: Nice to meet you, Ma'am.

Venom: MILF alert.

Mrs. Alexadner: Oh, hun. No need to me so formal. Anyway, Sam, I have two different job interviews to get to. Nuke dinner for you and Kaelynn. Y/N, too, if he's staying for dinner. I might be late, love you. Y/N, it was nice to meet you.

You smiled as his mom took off the other direction. You then turned to Sam.

Y/N: Why are we babysitting? You said you needed my help with some space thing. Not babysitting.

Sam: I forgot! It's fine. It's fine. We can go after the little twerp goes to sleep.

You just sighed and followed Sam into the house. Inside was a younger girl watching SpongeBob on the TV while she sat on the floor.

Sam: Kaelynn, I brought a friend over.

The girl looked back and noticed you. You waved. She then looked at her brother.

Kaelynn: Are you gonna leave me with him and go off on some space thing again?

You looked at Sam.

Sam: No. I, uh, I actually need his help for that. Whatever, it's not your business anyway. I'm gonna go make dinner.
-----------
Kaelynn: It doesn't taste like mom made it.

Sam: That's because she didn't. I did.

Kaelynn: That's not true. She made it, you just microwaved it.

Sam: You're adopted.

Venom: Burn.
----------
Sam: What is this show? It sucks.

Kaelynn: You suck.

Venom: Burn.

You were suddenly glad you were an only child.
---------
Sam stood up and walked over to the clock. You watched as he messed with the time and made an over dramatic sound.

Sam: Wow! Look at the time. Time for a bath and bed.

Kaelynn: But my show is still on.

Sam sighed.

Sam: Look, if you go take a bath and go to bed, I'll give you money.

Kaelynn: But you're broke.

Sam: Glad we understand each other.
---------
You and Sam stood in his back yard, now in uniform. Kaelynn was asleep and you were resdy to start your adventure. Though, you did feel bad.

Y/N: You sure it's okay for us to leave your sister alone?

Sam: Psst. Yeah. Totally. Just, don't think about it.

He finished stretching and floated up.

Sam: Think you can keep up?

Before you could answer, you suddenly heard a voice. A familiar voice. One that made you grin.

Can you keep up?
Why don't you show him your true speed?

Y/N: Yeah. I think I can manage.

Sam smirked and flew off. You touched the ground and ignited your flames. Only, it was something else. Something more powerful. Something that sent you flying right past Sam. Like Sam, you had energy surrounding your body but it was F/C.

Y/N: Thought you could keep up!

Sam grinned as he upped his power.

Sam: You're on!

You flew alongside each other, racing towards the stars. Down below, two men watched with binoculars.

Crazy Man: Hoodoo! Lookatthat! Look at that! Oh my gawd! It's a UFO on video! The town of Carefree is being visited folks!

For most of your life, you never left New York. Then you went to the Visions' home. Then to New Jersey. And the farthest away you ever been was to Arizona. And now you were among the stars.

You were in space.

You were bummed about losing Felicia just a few hours ago, but now you couldn't get the smile off your face.

Y/N: This is awesome!

Sam: I know, right?! Now, if I'm right, these dots I've been seeing are a map. And the lights line up with the stars! Follow me!

You nodded and followed Sam as he flew through the darkness of space. It was truly something amazing. Like a dream.

Venom: Ah, I misssed ssspace.

Oh yeah. He's an alien. You kinda forget that sometimes. You also realized that you could breath just fine. Must be the energy around your body.

Sam slowed down and you both ended up in an area where rock was floating around over a dead looking planet.

Sam: Great. I just traded the most boring place on Earth for the most boring place in the universe. Now what?

You both looked around for anything that stuck out. Suddenly, Sam spotted something flashing with his helmet.

Sam: There. That's a junior varsity Nova insignia down there.

You and Sam flew down to a large chuck of rock and landed. You walked over towards the blinking light.

Sam: Nova ahoy! Do you need any help? I think somethings wrong with your helmet. It was calling mine, or something.

You walked over towards the man who was on his knees. However, you also found the area covered in a web like substance. Spiders in space?

Venom: Be careful, kid.

Sam reached the man but stopped when he saw the condition of the man.

He looked like a skeleton with skin barely hanging on. Whatever skin there was left was dried out like leather and his teeth were yellowed like corn. He was bound by webs.

Sam: Oh no.

Y/N: This is the signal? It looks like he's been dead for a while.

Sam: Maybe. I just hope he killed whatever did this to him.

You suddenly heard what sounded like sticks hitting the ground. You and Sam turned around and found three large spider like creatures making their way towards you. Sam took a step back.

Sam: Leave us alone and we won't have to hurt you.

Spider: Hskdnviakbds!

Y/N: Negotiations have failed. Plan B.

Sam flew up as you attacked from below. Sam fired off some blasts at the spider while you popped out your claws and stabbed into another. You lifted it up before you slammed it into a rock and flew away from the third one lunging at you.

Sam landed but found his hands strung up in web as more spiders showed up.

Sam: Get off of me!

You flew down and sliced him free before the spiders could get to him. You both flew up and looked down at the swarm of spiders below.

Y/N: We should go.

Sam: No way. I can't leave him down there like that.

You looked down at the dead Nova and nodded. He was rigright. He deserved better than this. You flew down and aimed your hands out like you had seen Sam do before. From your hands came a blast of energy that blew away most of the spiders.

Y/N: Woah.

Venom: Nice one, kid!

Sam: I got the rest.

He flew down and picked one of the spiders up before he launched it right into the others. He then relased a powerful blast of his own which erupted all of the bugs.

You both landed on the rock among the dead bugs and let out a sigh.

Y/N: I take back what I said. Space sucks. I hate it here.

Sam pointed to the dead officer.

Sam: I got him for you, skully! Consider yourself avenged.

He walked over to the body and you followed. He pulled off his helmet and held it up.

Sam: How did you really die?

Suddenly, the helmet was activated and a hologram like image appeared of the dead Nova officer.

Officer: This is K'thol's personal space log.

Sam: Woah.

K'thol: I've evacuated all the crash survivors save for one. And I've returned to search again.

Y/N: He went back for one guy?

K'thol: I've been attacked. Multiple venomous bites from small, spider like creatures. My heart is failing, I can feel it. I'm too far from help so I'm attempting to quarantine this moon and...no!

A larger figure appeared behind him and the feed cut out. You and Sam looked at each other before you turned around and found a massive spider standing a few yards away.

Y/N: Son.

Sam: Of.

Venom: A

All: Bitch.

The spider charged at you both but you and Sam flew up into the air. Sam grabbed the golden helmet and held it close to himself.

Sam: This one is for my fallen Nova brother, K'thol. Y/N, give this one all you got.

Y/N: Glady.

You and Sam readied your blasts and aimed down at the massive spider as it cried out at you. And with that, you fired.
------------
Sam: Space sucks!

You were now sitting on the moon looking at earth as Sam looked at K'thol's helmet.

Sam: My dad never talked about this stuff.

Y/N: Your dad?

Sam: He was a Nova officer too. He went missing a while back. I met with this green lady and this racoon but they told me that I was the only officer left. Guess they were right.

He sighed and sat down next to you. He then noticed you still had the F/C energy around you.

Sam: You can't breath in space?

Y/N: I don't think so. I'd rather not try.

Sam: Yeah, I can see why. Well, I guess I should take this helmet back to earth. Want a sandwich?

Just then, your stomach growled.

Y/N: Uh, yeah. Yeah I do.

Venom: I sssecond that requesssst.

You and Sam got up and blasted off towards Earth.
------------
Meanwhile, deep within the Melovian galaxy, wherever that was, a man sat on his throne surrounded by his trophies as he spoke to his lover.

???: Did I ever tell you about the time I killed a Nova?

???: Yes, Cadivan. A thousand times already.

Cadivan: Well, it's a good one. Isn't it, Lylina?

Lyina: "And I watched the light go out in his eyes and his helmet at the same time."

Cadivan: See? You remember every word.

Suddenly, one of his trophies began to flicker. Not just any trophy. A golden Nova helmet. Cadivan looked over and his eyes went wide.

Cadivan: Wait! The lights on the helmet are flickering! What in Gorb's hell does that mean?!

Lyina: Cad, we talking about the yelling.

Cadivan smiled widely.

Cadivan: If there's more Novas, that means there's more thropies to collect!
-----------
Sam placed the helmet on a shelf in the shed that was placed in his backyard. He stepped back and you smiled as you ate the sandwich he had made for you.

Y/N: Look at that. Got a little trophy case for yourself going on.

Sam: Yeah. Thanks the help back there. But, if these dots are to go off on anything, there's a whole lot more to find.

You shrugged.

Y/N: I ain't got anything going on.

Sam smiled before his helmet started to blink. You both looked over to it and Sam picked it up and placed it on his head.

Sam: Woah! It's an SOS!

You raised a brow. That would mean that someone activated it. Or, that there was another Nova alive.

Sam turned to you.

Sam: Would you mind if we...

You swallowed the last of your sandwich and placed your maks on.

Y/N: Back to space we go.
-------------
You and Sam races to the signal as fast as you could and found the ship that was drifting through space. You were definitely not in the Milky Way anymore. That was for sure.

Sam: We should investigate.

You nodded and followed Sam toward the ship. You entered from below and you made it to a part where you could breath without the energy shield.

Walking around, you took note that the ship didn't seem like it was abandoned. Looked well kept, actually.

You made it into the main room where you found a wide range of various trophies on display.

Y/N: Woah.

Sam looked around before he found the helmet floating in front of what looked to be a throne.

Sam: Found you.

He grabbed it and lifted it up.

Sam: Now, how did you go?

He tried to activate it, but it was too damaged to show anything. He tried again but your senses went off and you kicked him out of the way from a large ax.

You both turned around and found a large man standing there.

Cadivan: You cannot sulk around my ship without me noticing. I am Cadivan and you are trespassing.

Sam turned around and aimed his hand out while you popped out your claws.

Sam: This helmet doesn't belong to you.

Cadivan laughed before he swiftly spun his ax around. Before Sam could react, he found himself back in his normal clothes while Cadivan looked at his helmet on the end of his weapon.

Cadivan: Hm. This one is much more stylish than the one I have.

Sam: Hey! Give it back!

Cadivan just laughed as he threw the helmet back at Sam.

Cadivan: I was the one who called you here. I just needed to inform you that I only hunt for profit, or sport. And you are neither. This is your only wwarning. This helmet is my trophy. I earned it. Now go.

Sam clenched his fists and pulled his helmet back on.

Sam: There's no way I'm just leaving!

Cadivan: Eject.

You and Sam looked at each other.

Y/N: Eject?
--------------
Y/N: HE EJECTED US!

After being throw out of the ship by Cadivan, you and Sam were left floating through space. Sam let out a groan before he signed.

Sam: No comprende. This sucks.

You crossed your arms as you floated upside down.

Y/N: Not cool.

Suddenly, something else activated in Sam's helmet. A red arrow that pointed towards something. He stopped floating and looked around.

Sam: What's this? A distress call?

He looked at you.

Y/N: Welp, they do say rest if for the wicked. Let's go.

Sam nodded and led the way.
-------------
Widow woke up and sat up from her bed. She let out a yawn before she got her morning started.

Once she took her shower and freshened up, she headed to check in on everyone. Felicia's room was empty, Nadia was still asleep, Wanda was doing yoga out on the balcony, and Viv was talking to the toaster. Again.

However, she noticed there was one who was missing.

Widow: Viv?

Viv turned to Widow.

Widow: Where is Y/N?

Viv: He did not return last night.

Widow: Huh. I would be worried if I didn't know better.

Viv: Why did you ask me?

Widow: Because I know you keep track of him, you little stalker.

Viv: Can confirm. But I am adorable so you're okay with it.

Widow: You're goddamn right you are.

Nadia walked in looking excited as well which surpised Widow.

Widow: I thought you were asleep.

Nadia: Janet called. Guess what?

Widow looked at Viv who just shrugged.

Nadia: I'm gonna learn how to drive!

Woah, slow down there buckaroo. Let's get through this arc first.
-------------
You and Sam stopped when you found the source of the signal. A massive golden ship with the red Nova insignia on the front. Like, massive. Like, bigger than any skyscraper you had ever seen.

Why did the Nova people need ships this big? Or at all?

On both sides of the ship were two smaller ships firing upon it.

Sam: You get the one on the left?

Y/N: Aw, but I wanted the one on the right.

Sam: No, I called dibs.

Y/N: You dragged me along.

Sam: You agreed.

Y/N: Fine.

You flew off to the left while Sam flew to the right. You made it to the ship and yelled at it.

Y/N: Hey! Stop it! Halt!

Could they even hear you? No, you moron.

You released a powerful ball of electricity which shit down their weapons.

Captain: No! Launch the emp torpedo! They cannot escape!

They fired off a missile looking weapon at the ship, but you just smacked it right back into the ship which shut it down.

Y/N: That was easy.

Sam flew to the other ship when a message came in.

???: Nova, I have no idea how you found us, but we're still in trouble. Our propulsion is offline and we're still taking fire.

Sam: Not for long. Hang on, dude.

Sam flew right into the ship and came out the other side. He then flew around to the back of the Nova ship. You joined him and you both put your hands on the ship.

Sam: Give it all you got!

Y/N: Already on it!

Together, you pushed the ship out of danger.
------------
Talk about a crazy few hours.

Sam: Hello? Anyone there?

You and Sam were walking through the empty halls of the ship trying to find anyone.

Y/N: Y'all speak any English? Or, anything? I think I'm a universal translator.

???: You both fought like wounded moomba. I am in your debt.

You and Sam turned around and found a man standing there with a dirty cloak covering his face.

???: I don't like owning debts.

He slowly pulled off his hood and smiled.

???: But I shall make an exception. I am Captain Skaarn. What are your names?

Sam: I am Sam...er...call me Nova.

Y/N: I'm Monster.

He shook both of your hands in gratitude.

Sam: You're not a Nova. I have so many questions.

Skaarn nodded and turned towards the ship's engine and you followed.

Skaarn: I will give you any answers I can. I salvaged this derelict. It's automated distress system must've been what alerted you. Behind this door is our modified power station. You can help us with our little problem. I hope you're not easily upset.

Sam just laughed a bit as he crossed his arms proudly.

Sam: This ain't my first rodeo, captain. Nothing is gonna shock me.

Y/N: What's the problem?

The Captain stepped out of the way.

Skaarn: My battery is dead.

Sitting there, was the corpse of a Nova officer who was hooked up to various wires.

Sam: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Venom: I'm gonna be sssick!

Venom appeared on your shoulder and moved to the corner where he began to throw up. You just stood there in shock.

Skaarn: This Nova came under a microscopic attack. His body lived on, even though his mind had died.

Y/N: Who did this?!

Skaarn: You can blame my tinkerer.

From the next room came a man with green skin who had a pair of goggles on his head.

Tinkerer: It's not pretty but it works. His body puts out enough energy to power the ship, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

Skaarn: As his flesh decayed, so has the power to the ship.

Sam: Gross.

Skaarn placed a hand on your shoulder.

Skaarn: This ship is may not look like much, but she's all stands between me and my small crew from being marooned.

Sam: So, what do you want me to do? Besides throw up.

Tinkerer: We want you to take the place of this Nova....

Skaarn: Simply by charing the battery, of course.

You and Sam looked at each other before you turned back to the two men.

Y/N: Sorry, folks, but I'm past mad science.

Sam: And I just hate science.

Skaarn walked over and placed a hand on Sam's shoulder.

Skaarn: Nova, this ship is my home. The crew are my family. Before you make a decision, I want you to meet someone who is like a daughter to me.

Sam suddenly smiled a bit.

Sam: Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt.

Venom: There isss a time and place, kid.

Skaarn: Jinn? Come meet our friend.

From a panel on the wall, a blue skined, pink haired alien poked her head out. She looked young.

Jinn: Will you help us? She may not look like much, but this flying rat trap is our home.

Sam blushed a bit, but stopped and looked back at the dead Nova officer.

Sam: Why couldn't I get a reading on how he died?

Skaarn: Perhaps his helmet was damaged when he drilled our holes into them.

Sam looked at you and you signaled for a huddle.

Sam: One second.

He walked over to you and you both began to whisper.

Y/N: This looks sketchy as fuck.

Sam: No doubt, but maybe we should help them. I mean, they seem harmless.

You both looked over to the trio who were waiting.

Y/N: I, I hate this. But, maybe we should. We can't just leave them stranded here.

Sam: Plus, alien GF?

Venom: Alien coochie doess hit different.

You just rolled your eyes and turned back to the others.

Y/N: We'll help.

Jinn looked relieved. She rushed over to Sam and smiled.

Jinn: Thank you. Everyone on this ship could use your help.

You raised a brow at her wording. Everyone? Actually, now that you were looking around, you noticed there wasn't really anyone else around.

Sam took a deep breath and focused his power on the core and the entire room lit up. After a while, the entire ship came back to life and Skaar cheered with his friend. Jinn looked over to you and you noticed that she didn't look so excited.

Sam: Best Nova Evah!

Skaarn: You have helped us immensely, Sam!

Sam smiled as he walked over to the dead officer.

Sam: No, he did. Rest good, brother.

Sam took his helmet and Jinn walked over to him before planting a kiss on his cheek. Sam grinned while you stood there, still confused.

Sam: Uh, maybe we don't have to leave right this second...

Skaarn: But we do.

He suddenly grabbed your shoulders and lead you away towards the doors.

Skaarn: We have places to be. Thank you both for your help.

Sam: Uh, yeah. Where are you guys going, anyway?

Skaarn: Nowhere.

Y/N: "Nowhere"?

Skaarn: Goodbye, my friends. You will be remembered in our songs.

You and Sam looked at each other before you shrugged. Moments later, Skaarn watched as you and Sam flew away back towards earth.

Skaarn: Turn off the ship's automated distress system. I don't want anymore unannounced visitors.
--------------
Soldier: Sir, our ships engaged the pirate vessel that attacked us during your absence. It was our hope that some of our missing citizens were on board.

He then brought up a feed that showed you and Sam attacking their ships.

Soldier: However, our forces were engaged by a Nova and an unknown assailant. Apparently from Earth.

???: You are in charge, Gron. Continue to search for the ship.

Gron: Where will you be?

The man turned away and began to walk towards the bay doors of the ship. A golden hammer in hand.

???: I shall find this corrupt Nova and his assailant, and let Stormbreaker be my interrogator.
