It had been two years; no over two years almost three since Nova had been home and now that the Reach was finally out of sector 2814 and Nova's training and assignment was over she was now allowed to return home. She had received her orders from Kilowag
“Go home Poozer, Get some more training. We'll call you when we need you.” He had is his own mission to tend to and well Lantern Kilowog and Lantern Guy were personally in charge of her training there was only so much they could do and Lantern Kilowog wasn't going to leave her with Guy for training any time soon. Thus her new training mission was to look after Earth. Now that Earth was a hot stop for extraterrestrials looking for world domination. Nova was 'assigned' Earth to protect.
Ever since the innocent with the Reach it was going to be mandatory for a Green Lantern to stay on Earth at all times. Nova didn't know much about the Reach problem though since she was on OA training and it seemed to be kept pretty hush-hush. Lantern Jordan had informed Nova that she was to report to Coast City. Probably because it was his hometown and he wanted to make sure everything was alright.
“Of course that is after you hide your Lantern...” he said jokingly before taking off into deep space. No doubt looking for Sinestro or Atrocitus.
“You're the loveliest blue and green ball I've ever seen!” Nova sighed as she approached her home planet. It was hard to believe things she as finally going home. Nova almost forgot what the Earth looked like.
” Whoa.... whoa... easy now.” Nova muttered to herself as she entered Earths stratosphere . In training they said that flying was one of easiest things for a Green Lantern to do. For Nova that was not the case. Out of everything she had learned flight, especially hyperspace travel was not her strong point. She was lucky that she was even able to keep her shield up. Not that it required much the ring kinda did that on its own.
Finally, Nova entered the lower atmosphere. Stabilizing herself Nova looked around. It was just as she remembered. Big, green and blue.
“First things first”Nova lifted a large lantern in her hand. Her first mission was to find a place to hide her lantern. There where a couple of places she could hit it. One was at Mount Justice, that would be until something happened and the lantern was lost. Then how would she recharge? She could also follow Green Lantern Jordan's idea of hiding it in a locker... but now he almost never need to recharge... The next and probably the best was in her room at her home. Since she became a Green Lantern Nova had yet to return home, They knew she was alive well her family hope she was alive but that was all. The last thing she wanted was to put her family in danger. But if no one knew....
Arriving outside her home in Coast City Nova hovered over her house. Lucky for her no one was one home. Creating a crowbar Nova unlatched the window and hovered into her room. It was just how she left it, nothing was moved or out-of-place, frozen in time
“Now where will this go?” After a few minutes Nova found the perfect hiding spot.
Hearing a car doors close Nova jumped, It would seem her family had arrived home
'better get out before they see me' slipped though her window and closed it as quietly as she could, just as the window shut the door opened. Hovering down to the kitchen window. Peaking in the window Nova could see her family putting away some groceries laughing and enjoying themselves. Nova couldn’t help but to smile. As much as she wanted to say hi she had to get going. Flying up to a large building Nova sat herself on the edge, anyone looking up into the dark night sky would see Nova as a glowing green beacon.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!!!
