Chapter 125: Xandar II
The bustling streets of Xandar remained oblivious to the escalating situation within the Nova Corps headquarters. Nova Prime, a composed and strategic leader, reviewed the threat report on her holographic display. The readings were unlike anything she'd seen before, particularly from the individual identified as "Dave." His power spiked beyond their typical threat scales, prompting immediate action.
"Prepare a containment team," Nova Prime ordered, her voice steady but firm. "I want reconnaissance drones on them immediately. Ensure they are monitored, but do not engage unless necessary. Let's confirm their intentions first."
Back on the streets, Dave, Thor, Diana, and Natasha casually explored the marketplace. The lively atmosphere kept them entertained. Diana admired the craftsmanship of alien jewelry, while Natasha scanned the area, her instincts as a spy making her naturally cautious. Thor, meanwhile, was drawn to a stall selling exotic drinks, and he couldn't resist trying a few.
"These Xandarian beverages are excellent," Thor declared, downing another cup. "They rival even the finest meads of Asgard!"
Dave chuckled, letting Thor enjoy his moment. "Just don't forget we have a destination, Thor," he reminded, his gaze sweeping the crowd. While he appeared relaxed, his heightened senses picked up on subtle movements—small drones hovering discreetly around them.
"They're watching us," Dave said softly, his voice calm yet serious. "But who are these people? I am pretty sure this is my first time in outer space" He then added confused, not knowing he is walking Nuke in tehri eyes-Alien nuke.
Natasha looked at him and asked "are you sure?"
Dave rolled his eyes in response as he said "Yeah, I am pretty sure"
Diana frowned. "Should we leave? I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble here."
