When Nova woke up in the morning she was confused by her strange surroundings. If she was honest she couldn't remember falling asleep last night or even leaving Vanya's apartment. The young girl rubbed her tired eyes and looked around the room. After a moment she realized that she was back at The Academy, in Five's room, lying in Five's bed, alone.
"Good, you're up," Five said as he walked back into the room. "I've tracked the eyeball to Meritech's Prosthetics."
"Can I shower before we go? I haven't showered since before the JFK assignment and I feel like I'm covered in death," Nova complained and Five nodded his head.
"Make it quick. We don't have time for detours," Five said and Nova rolled her eyes at her old friend.
"The apocalypse can wait fifteen minutes while I shower," Nova said as she made her way out of Five's bedroom and to the bathroom down the hall.
Almost as soon as Nova had finished showering Five was impatiently knocking on her door. The young girl rolled her eyes in annoyance as she pulled on a clean academy uniform. Five had always been annoying like this. Always so impatient and sometimes that frustrated Nova.
"Finally!" Five exclaimed when the girl eventually opened her bedroom door. Without warning he grabbed her arm and blinked them onto the front steps of Meritech Prosthetics.
"Why do you never warn me?" Nova groaned slightly disoriented from the unexpected travel.

Nova just rolled her eyes before following the boy inside the building. Eventually, they find the right office and go in search of someone who can help them. The pair awkwardly stand in the lobby not sure who to talk to when a doctor comes up to them.
"Uh, can I help you kids?" The doctor asked and out of the corner of her eye Nova could see Five make an annoyed face at being called a kid again.
"We need to find the owner of this eye," Nova said as Five held up the prosthetic eye.
"Where did you get that?" The doctor asked.
"What do you care?" Five asked rudely in response and Nova elbowed him in the side again for his bad manners.
"We found it on a playground," Nova said to the doctor.
"Must have just... popped out," Five said while making a clicking sound with his tongue before saying the second part of the sentence
