One-Shots and What-nots

Nova (Sam Alexander) x Reader

You sat on the rooftop of your father and your apartment, doodling on a crumpled piece of paper.  Using your dull pencil, you drew pictures of food, flowers, swirls, and hearts.

In truth you were angry.  Once again your father had yelled at you for getting detention and you weren't in the mood to take it.  "Y/N?  Y/N open up!"  He yelled behind the barricaded door.  You refused to answer, providing him only with silence.

The silence was interrupted by a large explosion not far form where you were, maybe a block or so at most.  You felt the ground shake and leapt up.

The sky was alight with a firey orange as an apartment building not far away burst into flames.  Gunshots went off and police sirens could be hears off int he distance.  

You leaned over the edge of your building as far as you could, stretching your phone out to get a better view.  Finding the distance between you and the explosion too great, you climbed down the fire escape.

As you were a floor or so down, you glanced up to see Nova, Spiderman, and the rest of the cites' heroes heating for the building.  You hurried your pace and ran down to the net block.  You occasionally checked your phone which was shaking violently in your hand, to make sure it was still recording.

As you neared the building, you saw the police had already beaten you too the spot, caution tape already set.  "What's happening?"  Someone in the crowd yelled.  "Everyone please remain calm," One of the police officers said.  "Everyone is evacuated and the firefighters and heroes are attending to the remaining damage.

You held your phone up above the taller people's heads and watch from your screen.  While the flames continued to rise, you noticed a particular, moving figure in the window.  You squinted your eyes and zoomed in.  It was a person!

"Excuse me?"  You said, slightly panicked.  "There is still a person up there!  We have to help!"  However, you voice was drowned out by the sirens and other spectators.

Narrowing your eyes, you looked around.  Your sight landed on a fire escape much like the one you had previously climbed down.  You ran over stacked up some boxes to stand on.  Giving yourself a small jump, you were able to grab the bottom on the ladder and climb up.

Reaching the top, slightly out of breath, you proceeded to breach the gap between your safe building and that in flames.  You slowly neared the edge of the building the looked down.  "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooo.  Not good.  NOT good."  You mumbed to yourself.  You scooted yourself closer.  "They make it look so easy in the movies." 

"Ms!  Step away from the edge!"  You jumped and almost fell off the roof.  Looking down you saw a police officer yelling at you over the megaphone.  "But.... THERE'S STILL PEOPLE IN THERE!"  You said, cupping your hands around your mouth.  "Please step away from the edge!"  The police officer continued.  

You sighed.  They couldn't hear you.  It was up to you.  All the superheros were busy helping fight the fire, they didn't even notice you.  You saw the police officer with the megaphone run over to Nova.  Wasting no further time, you ran for the edge and jumped.  

Your feet hit the ground of the other building and you ran for the door, flames licking its edges.  "Y/N!  Wait!"  You could of sworn someone called your name before you leapt inside.  Instantly, your lungs were polluted with smoke and ash.  You couched violently and pulled your shirt up to your nose.

Heading to the stairs, you heard a cry for help.  "I'm coming!  I'm co-"  You choked again as you tried to answer.  You bolted down the stairs and onto the lower level.  "HELP!"  I man cried out.  Your eyes stung but you could faintly make out a figure crushed by a beam.

"Don't worry!  I'm here!"  You quickly grabbed the beam only to scream and drop it.  You glanced at your hands, the beam was smoldering and had burned your hands.  

You quickly looked around for something to use to help dislodge him.  Finding nothing, you took a deep breath and bit your lib.  Closing your eyes, you grabbed the beam and slowly lifted it up.  You couldn't remember screaming but could feel yourself do it.

As you suffered, the weight suddenly became lighter until it was completely off your hands.  You sunk to your knees, drained and breathing heavy because of the smoke.  You looked up and saw Nova lifting the beam with one hand and dragging the man out from beneath.

"Spidy.  5th Floor 3rd window East Side.  Got some people in need of transport."  You watched as Nova spoke into his com as he lifted the man towards the window.  "N-Nova...."  You managed to mumble before your vision began to create doubles or itself and your head began to swim.

Your vision faded as Nova picked you up in him arms and you could almost hear him saw your name before you blacked out.

TIME SKIP

"Y/N!  Y/N!"  A voice cut across the darkness.  You moaned and  turned your face toward the sound.  "N-Nova?"  A laugh cut across the space and your vision returned.  You saw Sam sitting at the end of your bed, cheeks bright read and Peter laughed his head off.  "Sam!?!  Nova!?! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!"  You looked around confused.  "Wha-"

"Y/N!  Oh Thank Goodness!  What were you thinking?  You could have died!"  You father rushed in, embracing you in a tight hug.  "I-m fi-OW!"  You recoiled as your hands touched your dad's back to embrace the hug.  You looked down at your hands, sore and bandaged.  "Nova rescued you from the burning building after you ran into it to save that man."  Peter said.  "Is he ok?"  You asked.

"He's fine.  A little burnt but he'll live." A nurse said walking in.  "Now, hate to break up the reunion but Y/N needs all the rest she can get.  You father nodded and walked out the room followed by Peter, leaving only you and Sam.

Your face turned as red as the flames the night prior.  "You scared me Y/N.  You could of died."  "And that man would have died if I hadn't done something."  You retorted.  Sam smiled and looked down at his feet as he walked over to you,  placing his hand on your hair.  "I know.  You're amazing you know that?"

You smirked.  "I know.  But boy does it hurt!"  You said looking at your hands.  "No one said it was easy being a hero."  He replied before gently kissing you on the head and hurrying out of the room.  Your mouth hung open as you were at a loss for words.  "Ah.  The healing touch."  The nurse said smiling.

A/N: Sorry there's not a lot of kissy kissy moments but I did not sleep at all last night.... AT ALL.  It was a supernatural marathon so I'm running on pure faith and sugar right now.  Pray you all sleep well and stay fabulous!
