The Spatial Goddess (Thor X OC)

Chapter 15

Nova's P. O. V:

I walk with my best friend, Katie Holmes, down a street as we hold coffee cups from a coffee shop in New Mexico.

It's been a couple of months since the Battle of New York, and we'd decided to catch up.

I'm wearing a long sleeved blue and white striped shirt with a printed skirt and orange scarf around my neck, my long brown hair in a braid over my right shoulder.

Katie has long blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I'm so glad we're doing this," She says as we walk, cars driving past us. Katie smiles at me. "It's been so long, I can't remember the last time we'd hung out."

I pause before I speak up. "... Sorry. I guess I've just been really busy with S. H. I. E. L. D. lately."

Katie says, "I saw you on tv during the Battle of New York. You were incredible! And Thor was just as handsome as I'd ever imagined." She nudges me as she smiles teasingly. "You're so lucky! Have you heard from him?"

I shake my head as I take a sip of coffee and reply, "No. Not since the Battle of New York. He said they were in the middle of repairing the Bifrost, but..." I let out a sigh. "I just don't know when he'll be able to come back."

We stop as Katie assures me, squeezing my shoulder, "I'm sure you'll see each other again soon. I don't think that demigod will be able to stay away from you for too long."

I say, "Yeah, well, last time it was a year. Who knows how long it'll be this time?"

Just as we both sip our coffees, a caped figure suddenly appears before us. He has on a red and Jack costume and has long dark hair.

"Nova Jones?" He addresses, causing my to freeze. I remember him! That's The Lightning Man, the one who killed Mia so long ago!!

Katie glares at him as she demands hotly, "Who are you and what do you want?"

"To finish what I started 12 years ago," He says before firing a bolt of electric mitt at us.

I snap myself out of it despite my fear and grab Katie without warning. I then teleport us away and people scream as the lightning strikes the spot where we'd been standing.

"Whoa! I forgot you can do that," Katie utters. She glances at me to see I'm still staring at the dark haired man. "Nova!! Wake up!!" I scream as I'm hit with another lightning bolt and slump against the blonde who catches me. "How could you?! She didn't do anything to you!"

I hear tears in her eyes.

"Hmph. I won't let you live this time, now that I know who you are," The Lightning Man says as I manage to crack open my eyes. The street appears to be emptier than before.

I hear the sound of electricity forming, and Katie mutters, "Dammit! Come on, Nova, you need to get up!"

I feel her shaking me and the lightning shooting through the air in our direction. Katie shields me from the attack but then there's a boom and the lightning doesn't hit us.

I open my eyes further to see a familiar blonde haired figure wearing a red cape, back to us.

My heart beats as I recognise Thor!

"Thor!!" Katie shouts in relief.

"Why are you attacking Nova?" He demands to know.

"Because I was meant to kill her twelve years ago, but she survived by gaining her powers," Replies The Lightning Man. "Move aside."

"I will not," Says Thor firmly before rapidly swinging Moljnir. He swings it at the enemy who dodges and shoots lightning at him. Thor dodges and shoots lightning from Moljnir, which narrowly misses the target.

They exchange a few blows but Thor knocks the dark haired man back with a swing of Moljnir that causes him to hit a lamppost with a pained grunt.

Thor whirls and stalks towards him, preparing his hammer. However, before he could strike the lightning user, The Lightning Man fires a particularly powerful bolt at Thor who jerks sideways to evade it and he takes off.

Thor watches him go before whirls towards me and Katie as my consciousness is slipping again.

"Nova?! Nova, stay with me!" Thor pleads as he kneels beside me. I was already unconscious again.
