She had always been interested in staring up at the stars. She could easily imagine other worlds, and an array of fictional creatures to inhabit them. She would run towards the quietest parts of San Fransokyo when the sun would start to drift.
Even with all the bright lights and puffs of pollution circulating through her sky, she would star gaze. Today was no exception, as she sped through the bustling streets. Glancing up, she observed that the sky was a mix of oranges with dashes of pinks. Her heart was racing, her arms were aching from running around with a heavy binder, and her legs felt very jell-o like. None of this would matter once she reached her spot though.
Tonight, NASA predicted a meteor shower and there was no way in hell she was going to miss that. She was practically shaking in anticipation during her last class of the day for this moment. Nova Lynn was a 15-year-old that would rather watch the stars, sketch aliens, and read science fiction than actually have a social life.
Maybe she wasn't so gifted in the friend making department, but if she wasn't attempting to interact with others, it must not be a big deal.
After what seemed like an hour of running and apologizing for bumping into everyone, Nova finally made it to her destination. A part of her smiled happily and sighed in relief because it was about to start.
Nova almost carelessly threw her binder up on a closed garbage can. Holding her breath, she heaved her body onto it as well. She stood cautiously on top of the blue can, and balanced out. Slowly she bent down to lift her binder.
Nova placed it with ease on the low roof of a café that the trash bin was next to. After stretching up on her tip-toes she was able to pull herself upon the roof as well. As long as the owners didn't see her surely nobody would get angry.
Opening up her binder, she pulled out her "Star log", which was a ratty almost filled blue journal. On the front she had a sticker that had a UFO lifting up a cow. Nova breathlessly laughed at her own tacky sticker.
After making a new entry and titling it "Shower Day on the Cafe" she was finally able to throw her body back and stare up at the sky.
The sun was completely gone, the city lights shone almost too brightly, and her stomach was full of butterflies. Although at the moment, Nova had no idea why she was nervous. Her body was probably just being weird again.
Suddenly, something shot through the sky. It was almost as quick as the turning off of a room light. She sat upright, waiting for anything to happen again. Within a moment, the same jolt of energy flashed. It almost appeared as if it was falling through the sky.
Confused, Nova wrote in her log quickly,"I know this might be crazy, but i don't think I'm looking at-" Nova couldn't finish her sentence as an object shot past her at blinding speeds. She yelled and scrambled backwards. This was totally not a meteor shower!
Her heart was slamming into her rib cage, the butterflies in her stomach were going crazy. Her body wouldn't move. She was paralyzed with fear.
The object flew by once again as if it was looking for something, or even attempting to run away. The girl caught a glimpse at what was flying around her. It was red, had wings that expanded outwards, and something in purple was riding on it's back. "Could that be an Alien on this red thing?" She asked to nobody in particular. The logical part of her mind quickly shot down that theory.
Her curiosity finally set in, and pushed aside the first fear of what this thing was. Crawling towards the end of the building, she looked down at the empty street. Small black things for lack of a better description sat all around. In the corner of her eye she saw a person dressed in all black.
She turned her attention to that shadowy figure, and noticed the odd mask they wore. It was white with red stripes, and startling yellow eyes. That probably wasn't what terrified her the most though. Nova finally realized that this weirdo had a swarm, a literal swarm of these black little things. They seemed to be buzzing around loudly and wanted nothing more than to run around.
With a flick of his wrist they all scattered and started combing up the surrounding buildings. At the moment she really didn't want to see what these things were capable of. Its easier to kill your prey when you have a large number of allies. And boy the odds of her against a million of these little guys weren't looking so promising.
Her adrenaline kicked in, and in the heat of the moment the girl made a daring jump all the way to the ground where she first climbed up. Screw going back up to claim her Star Log, she is not going to die because of a damn notebook.
With a sharp throbbing in her ankles, she sprinted like a track star. Nova had never been one to start panicking while running, then again Nova had never actually been caught in a cross fire between street gangs. Really technologically advanced street gangs..
She wasn't even going to question what the giant red flying thingie was thinking provoking a creepy guy with a swarm of mini robot henchmen. Nope, she was just going to run away and pretend that her star-gazing was great.
At least that was the plan before the big red dude crash landed about twenty feet in front of her! Where the hell has this guy been for the last few seconds of her attempting to run from the tiny creature swarm?!
"I do not fly very well under these circumstances."
Nova looked around as a monotonous voice spoke. Quickly realizing it was the red lump on the ground she sighed in relief. A part of her felt safer near it. He didn't have an army. Just a short guy riding on him.
Wait... what?
"Baymax we seriously need to get out of here!" Another voice added sounding completely exhausted.
This time it came from a short skinny looking younger teenager. He hopped off the damaged looking red thing- Baymax apparently. The vertically challenged guy looked up from his partner and widened his already round light brown eyes.
Nova raised an eyebrow at him, and slowly turned around to see what he was so fixated on.
Her dark brown eyes made contact with a piercing set of yellow ones.
