"Sweet pea?" Jughead asks as Sweet pea and I get off our bikes outside my house.
"Jughead?" Sweet pea returns the question.
"You told Sweet pea?" Betty asks.
"You told Jughead?" I return her question.
"We'll deal with this later, Nova. One of your many skills is needed, like now." Jughead says.
I nod, as the couple lead me to the shady man's car.
"Wait, put your gloves on." I warn those around me.
"Why?" Sweet pea asks.
"Fingerprints." I say, putting on my own biker gloves from my pocket. "If any one of us touch the car, we're implicated."
Betty nods, before her and Jughead reach into their pockets for their gloves, and Sweet pea walks over to his bike to retrieve his bike gloves. Betty then picks the lock of the car before I sit in the musty seat and begin hotwiring the car. Once I get it running, I stand up to plan with my friends.
"Cooper, you're with Nova. Jones, we take the bikes and meet the girls in the forest. We're dumping the car and getting the fuck out." Sweet pea says.
"You're not in charge he-"
"Jug, now's not the time for who's dicks bigger, let's just get this shit done." I snap. Jughead sighs at me but nods, kissing the side of Betty's head and walking towards his bike.
Sweet pea gives me a soft kiss before telling me to be careful, I tell him the same and Betty and I speed off in the car.
"How're you doing?" Betty asks me.
"Don't ask, B." I sigh.
"You told Sweet pea." She states.
"You told Jughead." I state back.
"I know. I'm surprised, it's not a bad thing." She tells me.
"It was killing me, B. I've been trying to stay strong for you, I can't tell Archie, I didn't think I could tell Jug. Plus, I knew I couldn't hide my neck from him, so I'd avoided him, he thought I was mad at him." I sigh.
"I understand, Nov. Don't worry, Jug said he knew something was off... He thought it was to do with something else though." She says.
"What did he-"
I'm cut off my phone ringing, Betty pulls my phone from my pocket.
"It's Archie." She says.
"Answer it for me and put it on speaker." I say, she nods and does so.
"Hey Arch." I say.
"Nova where are you?" He asks.
"I'm...uh, with Sweet pea." I lie.
"You need to come home, that agent came by the house and threatened dad." Archie says.
"Shit." I sigh. "I'll be home in a couple hours, okay?"
"No, Nova this is-"
"Archie. I want to help you but just gonna have to wait a few hours, okay?" I sigh.
"Fine. It's fine, are you okay?" He asks. "I feel like you've been avoiding home."
"I've just been busy, with the trailer park on the rocks, Pea's been really stressed. I'm trying to help a million people at once." I tell him.
"Heh, Super-Nova strikes again." Archie chuckles.
"I'm far from super, especially lately." I sigh.
