“I carry within me an entire culture. It is my burden and my privilage. I am Xandar. I am the Nova corps. Richard Rider may not have been able to stand up to you but Nova can.”

Nova floated in with that signature cocky grin under the helmet.

“Sorcery wizards before sunrise? Cute. Richard Rider’s happy to spar just don’t cry when pure Centurion power turns your little practice session into a highlight reel.”

“Hey, I try my best. Richard Rider of the Nova Corps. The one and only. You’re one of those Lanterns, I’ve been hearing about in the galaxy.”

“Out in space? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard today.”

[Richard Rider @CenturionSpark]

“Oh look who still quotes Shakespeare while casually green and ten feet tall.
Northern Star, huh? Cute. Just try not to crash into any planets while you’re being so ‘constant,’ Counselor.

What’s been happening?”

“I’m as constant as the Northern Star… or, at least I try to be.”

“Yeah, time flies different in space — sometimes I come down for weeks, months or even a year or two. Things change. I hear a lot about it in space. Soo what’s your story? Bitten by a radioactive spider?”

❝ That sounds fun . . . how's it? Ya know, being literally not on the planet for a bit? ❞

“A lot? Well then, that’s something new. There’s only one of me. Well you probably met him, his name is Sam Alexander. Another Nova.”

[𝘊𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘰𝘯 𓍯𓂃𓏧♡ @CindySilkin]

❝ There's a new one of us everyday . . . I'm joking. But there is a lot. ❞
