Nova's P. O. V:

My friends, Katie Holmes and Mia Carlisle are just leaving the cinemas on a Friday night, walking back to my place together. We were chatting and laughing, just enjoying each other's company.

It was ten 0' clock at night now, but we were fourteen.

"That part of the movie was so funny, right?" Mia asks, grinning. She has short brown hair and green eyes.

"Yeah, totally!" Katie agrees. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes.

I have long brown hair and deep green eyes.

Suddenly, we hear the sound of lightning and screaming and look up to see people running from a tall man with dark hair wearing what looks like a superhero type of costume, with a silver cape.

He shoots electricity from his hands.

"This doesn't look good," Mia says with a pale face.

"We should get out of here," Katie says, looking to me.

I only nod and we go to run, but Mia screams as she's hit with a massive lightning bolt. We gasp.

"MIA!!"

I feel the world slip out from under me as rage begins to boil in my veins at the sight of my friend hitting the ground. Katie runs over to her and shakes her.

"Mia?! Mia! Wake up!" Katie begs.

I notice the dark haired man getting ready to fire another lightning bolt.

My heart leaping in my throat, I rush over and grab both my friends before we suddenly vanish through a round portal. The lightning strikes the ground right where we'd been standing.

"What?" The man breathes as we reappear a safe distance away. I breathe heavily, not sure what exactly I just did.

"Wh-What was that?" Katie breathes out in confusion as she looks at me. I didn't answer as I face my enemy.

"You should not have hurt her," I say in a too quiet tone, feeling power surging within me. I thrust my hand forward and a berm of multi coloured energy shoots at the ravenette. It hits him in the left shoulder as he's caught off by surprise.

I gather the same energy around my fists and charge at him, rage on my features, as I ignore Katie calling me back.

I go to swing at the man but he jerks back a safe distance.

"We'll finish this next time, girl," He tells me before vanishing.

I just stand there as the multi coloured orbs fade from my fists.

                          ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I was sitting at my desk in my bedroom later that night, summoning the multi coloured orb to my hand and watching it before repeating the process.

I don't know what kind of powers these are, but I'm going to get revenge on Mia.

That I know for sure.

Mia's funeral will be held in about a week, once we get everything organised.

Suddenly, there's a knock at the front door and I look up upon hearing voices, my dad and another man's. There a moment of silence and footsteps pad up the stairs to my bedroom before there's a knock on my door.

It opens and dad pokes his head. "Nova? There's a man here who wants to see you."

I silently get up and go downstairs with dad to see a balding man wearing a tuxedo in the front room with mum.

"Hello," He greets. "I'm Phil Coulson."

"Nova Jones," I introduce.

"Nova, huh? I work with Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, and we've just recently discovered a massive surge of energy from you," Phil says.

"You mean this?" I hold up my hand and form the multi coloured orb. My parents' eyes jerk wide. "I don't really know what kind of powers they are, but I gained them when a man who can control lightning killed my friend earlier tonight."

Sympathy glints in Phil's eyes as he says, "I'm sorry to hear about your friend. How would you like to work with Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division? We could help you learn to control your powers? And maybe even find out what they are?"

Mum immediately says, "I'm not sure..."

"She would also do some missions with us as well," Phil adds.

I look to mum and dad pleadingly. They gaze at each other as though having a silent conversation.

Finally, mum sighs and nods her head.

Phil smiles as we exchange numbers. "I'll call on you after I talk to Nick Fury. I look forward to working with you, Nova." The man then turns and exits my house.

Dad locks the door behind him.

If I can control my powers, it'll be easier to find my friends' killer,

I smile to myself, unable to wait to start working with Phil either.
