"Sooo.....he's scared of turtles?"

"Well, uh, yeah. But when you say it like that-."

Everyone was in a small living room, sort of breakroom, that was somewhere in the ship. Nova had her arms crossed, and was sitting in a couch that was facing all of the avengers. Wanda, Vision, Sam, Bucky, Tony, Steve, Thor, and even Natasha, Clint, Bruce, and Rhodey, were all sitting or leaning on the couch across from Nova.

Natasha was eyeing her warily, and Bruce kept giving Natasha sympathetic glances. Ha. Simp.

Greg was in a separate room from them. They had somehow found a small plastic doggie pool, and had filled it up with sea water, and had put him in there. Nova had given him a lamp to keep him warm and happy.

"When we were younger, way, way, younger, a snap turtle bit him. Don't ask how, or why. It just did." Steve explained.

Nova just hummed in thought. She bet it bit him in the no no square. Rip his nonexistent future children. Nova was pretty sure that man was gay. But gay for who? She already had a pretty good idea of who. It could only be S-

"I think," Wanda said, interrupting Nova's big brain thoughts . "That we should all take a break for awhile. Enough accidents have happened, and I'm sure some of us could use a much needed break." She glanced at Vision, who looked really tired and out of it. Poor guy. Or, uh, mobile thing. Pearl.

Nova nodded at her and watched as a few of the avengers left the room. She too got up and left the room, totally not almost falling and eating shit. Totally not.

She walked back towards the room that Greg was in, alone. It was quiet. She could hear her own footsteps. The distant chatter of people fading slowly. It was nice.

She was lost. In her defense, the ship was fucking huge. HUGE.

She walked from wall to wall. Down many halls, that led into a lot of rooms. It all looked the same. But she shouldn't panic. Why should she panic? She didn't need to panic!

Sam found her curled up in a ball in a really small room, muttering something about murdering Teletubbies.

Nova was now in the room with Greg.

After forty minutes of being lost, and found by Sam, she was in the room with Greg. She had changed too. A random ass person walked up to her, handed her clothes, and then walked away. She was now wearing black ripped jeans, a white tangtop, and black boots. She had also stolen a marker out of that persons pocket, and had scribbled at her fingernails, painting them black. She had also doodled a little on her hands.

She was calm and peaceful. More happy then she had been about twenty minutes ago. She had somehow found party hats and had put them on herself and Greg. She had also found a kazoo. So, she was lightly blowing into it, playing the Naruto theme song for Greg. And he was enjoying it.

"Someone please tell me we have eyes on her." Fury asked. He had walked into the giant room with all of the computers that had many windows, and was standing above everyone, observing.

A young boy, new person, raised his hand and beckoned him over.

Fury stalked towards him in his intimidatingly deadly way. He looked over the boys shoulder, and saw Nova playing a kazoo for an enormous turtle. She was sitting cross legged, and they could only see half of her from the camera's angle.
