First, it was over and life could continue in its usual course. For how long this might be, however, was more than uncertain.
Not today, not tomorrow but also not next week nevertheless Darkseid would come.
One last thing Nova had learned before all the Parademons were dead was that the Anti-Life was supposed to be on Earth. During his search for the mother boxes, Steppenwolf believed he had found them here. All the more reason that the Destroyer, had to pay Earth a visit.
"You're hardly, going to keep stocking shelves," Bruce speculated, walking over to Nova, who was standing by the destroyed monument in Metropolis, "What's your plan?"
"No, I got my old job back," it was confirmed by Nova, who took a sip from her cup and then looked at Bruce, "My old boss is back from prison."
"What did he do?" it was definitely not what Bruce expected to hear from Nova, let alone that was the reason why the girl lost her old job, "And why do you want to go back?"
"Thought he was too smart. Made a bit of a mistake," Nova replied with compressed lips and raised eyebrows, "Must be a disease that intelligent people now and then, think they're too intelligent and thus believe they're untouchable. There is no real reason to go back. It's just the fact that he was the first person who was nice to me and ignored my, not exactly flawless, documents from a street dealer. I actually wanted to go somewhere else, but it turned out that way. And I never thought the assistant job was bad."
Life goes its own way. Strictly speaking, it is a waste of time to think about the meaning of life. It is better to simply enjoy life and leave it at that.

some days later
Principality of Monaco
Northern middle coast of the Mediterranean Sea
Europe
Earth
Milky WayAfter a nine-hour flight over the Pacific Ocean, Nova finally landed on the small city-state on the edge of France, which most people would know merely for its casinos. After Vatican City, the principality was actually the second smallest state on earth.
At the airport, Nova picked up her phone, looked at the display and walked down the row of cars parked there. After a few meters, the click was heard, the lights of a car flashed twice, in which she put her bag and drove the given route to the coast.
Arriving at the marina, Nova parked the car in the designated area on the side of the road, took her bag from the back seat and walked along the jetty, past the numerous boats to one where a man was walking around and raising his hand.
"If I'd known that, I wouldn't have had to get on Gordon's nerves about a visitation permit," Nova called up to the yacht, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand, "Okay, balding takes some getting used to."
"I heard you made some new friends," Nova was greeted by Luthor as she had to take a slightly bigger step to get on the boat and walked over to him, "Nice."
"You could have saved yourself the trouble with Doomsday. Superman's back," a cursory glance at the water followed, then Nova pulled several, folded pieces of paper out of her pocket, "Oh yeah. I asked around, uhm, I wouldn't advise Deadshot, he's working unofficially for Waller and the government now. A few people do now, including Harley Quinn. By necessity, but they do. There is someone else though, Slade Wilson known as Deathstroke. Seems to be all right. Here."
