Nova was in Queens, standing outside of Peter's school with her arms crossed, waiting for him to come out. Her long trench coat was flowing in the wind. Students passed by her, giving her looks and whispering, she frowned, she regretted not coming there in disguise. Teenagers always freaked her out, they were vicious human beings.
Peter walked out, he was with a rather chubby friend of his. He spotted Nova, a confused look took over his face while his friend kept talking to him.
Peter walked over to Nova, by this time his friend had noticed her and he was bewildered.
"Hey Peter Parker." she said.
"Wha- what are you- uh- doing here?" he mumbled.
"My dad sent me." she said, being vague.
Peter's friend offered his hand nervously and abruptly, "I'm ned!" he said.
"I'm Nova." she said, not shaking his hand.
"Is this about a mission?" Peter whispered.
"Can I take a picture with you?" Ned said, overlapping with Peter.
She looked at Ned, "Yes." she turned to Peter, "No." Ned took out his phone instantly, "Look, Dad sent me here today to like, observe you for a day." Ned clicked a picture while Nova talked to Peter, not giving her a chance to even notice.
Nova noticed the amount of people around her growing, they started staring at them and whispering even more than before, it was starting to make her anxious. "Hey, can we get out of here, teenagers freak me out." she said to Peter.

The two walked on the sidewalk.
"So, you're babysitting me?" Peter asked.
"No," Nova looked at him, "Think of it as an...evaluation! I'm just gonna hang around with you today and observe." she explained.
"Oh, okay." he said, grasping the concept. "So will you help me out or..."
"No, no! Just pretend I'm not even here, do what you do everyday. I'm here to see a normal day in Spider-man's life."
Peter nodded anxiously, "This is kind of a lot of pressure, it's like I have a judge." he said sarcastically.
"No, there's no pressure, I'm not judgy at all!" she reassured.

Peter slings after a bike stealer. Nova stands on the street, just observing. He lands in front of him, holds out one end of a strand of web and glues the thief to the web. Peter lets go and the thief is pulled into the air.
As the thief dangles over him, Peter picks up the bike, asking people if it belongs to them. Nova watches with her hands crossed and one eyebrow raised, feeling a bit embarrassed. Peter looks at her and gets nervous.

The pair sit on top of a moving train. Nova looks around, feeling the gush of air hit her face.

Peter stands on top of a building, surveying the area for any trouble, Nova sits on a ledge next to him, waiting.
A street vendor shouted from the sidewalk, "Hey! You're that spider guy on YouTube, right?"
Nova looked up at Peter, one side of her lip lifted up in a smirk.
"Call me Spider-Man!" Peter shouted back.
"Okay, Spider-Man, do a flip!" the street Vendor requested.
Peter did a flip, gaining a 'Yeah!' from the street vendor. Nova laughed lightly at this interaction. The city seemed to love him, she was really proud of him, he deserved it.

Nova watched as Peter gave an old lady directions.

Nova watched from on top of a building as Peter landed on top of a car that some guy was trying to open with a thin slab of metal. Peter put web on his face and slammed it onto the car, making the blaring alarm go off.
"Hey! It's my car, dumbass!" the guy complained.
The alarm caused some commotion as the people of the neighbourhood came out their windows complaining. They all started to shout at Peter as he tried to explain. Nova laughed as she watched overhead.

The two sat on a small table at a pizza place, eating pepperoni pizza. Peter was in his normal clothes now.
"So, are you ever gonna tell your aunt?" Nova asked, her eyes on her food.
"I mean," Peter said, "I really want to, she's the first person I tell everything to." Nova nodded, "But I'm afraid if I do, she won't let me do it anymore."
"You really love being Spider-Man huh?" Nova said.
Peter shrugged, "I love helping people."
Nova slightly smiled. "How's school?" she asked.
"It's..." Peter trailed off, looking down at his food.
"Hell?" Nova finished.
"Yeah," Peter chuckled.
"Kids tease you?" she asked.
"They always have." he said.
"God, teenagers are the worst. Why don't you just beat them up?" she asked. Peter looked up at her confused, "I mean you've got the super strength don't you?"
"I don't wanna beat anyone up." he said.
Nova nodded, "I'd beat them up." she almost inaudibly mumbled, gaining a 'You're crazy' smile from Peter.
