Chapter 1
"So wait a sec here Webs. You're saying that you're going to go on a mission and leave Nova in charge, and somehow Fury isn't going to find out? Run the whole plan by me again would you?" Power Man says as they sit at the table on the Tricarrier. They were taking a five minute break from training.
"Like I said. Someone's son is missing and I can't just sit around and wait for the guy to call S.H.I.E.L.D.,because he won't. He called us the last time something happened and even though we did accomplish the mission, it didn't go exactly as planned. He may eventually call in, but by the time he realizes that he has to, his son may already be dead, or turned into some monster depending on which bad guy got him. I can't let that happen. Not again. I know Fury will give me a nasty talk down when all's said and done, but I still need to do this." Spidey replied. Power Man sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Too much of a conscience as per usual." He said.
"Ok, so we get your reasoning, and while it's not totally cool, it'll pass for it. But seriously, Nova? Why him? He's arrogant and he doesn't even help in most fights, he just sits there laughing and snapping photos of us crashing into walls and stuff to post on his blog." White Tiger says. "Why not Iron Fist? He has more of a sense of responsibility and he can stay calm under pressure. Or Power Man? He has a sense of compassion and can talk down teenage hotshot villains. He can plan ahead pretty well too." She suggested. "Or Tiger? She's the one who gets the most out of our training. She'd know how to plan ahead based off the books and practices." Power Man says in turn.
Spiderman sighed. "Look guys," he said. "I know that Nova might not be the best choice. But trust my judgment. I know it will help the team to have him lead for a while." "Have who lead for a while?" Nova asked coming back from Fury's office. He'd had a good performance in training for a while now and Fury wanted to congratulate him. "Webhead says you get to lead the team while he's gone on a search and rescue mission." Power Man supplies the answer before Spidey can stop him. "Oh, so that's what everyone's been whispering about for the last few days!" "Oh boy. Here we go again." White Tiger muttered just before Nova launched into his monologue of how awesome he was and how cool the team would turn out when he started leading and how things would go great from the very start. And they had to put up with it until Fury came and told Peter to get on home. Nova noticed Peter leaving, but he continued on and on anyway.
