I lied down on my comfy modern bed inside of my dorm. It was 5 pm or something and I was just scrolling on my phone watching some videos on Youtube. I was watching stupid channels that make crafts that don’t work as a joke so I could laugh at them.

“Hahahahahahaha!” I laughed as I dropped my phone on the ground. I got out of my bed and bent over to pick it up. I turned around back to my bed and saw someone sitting there. He was golden, and his body radiated light, his eyes sparkling gold and white. His skin was gold and he had dreamy golden short hair. I turned to face him.

“Who the heck are you?” I asked. He smiled.

“So you are the one I've been bound to. ” he said.

I was very confused.

“What?” I said. “What do you mean by that?”

“Okay.” says the spirit. “I am Nova. Do you remember when you fought against those guys with the cloaks?”

“Yeah.” I said. “I used some power similar to this girl Leah, whom I met recently.”

“That power you used,” says Nova. “Was my power. I gave it to you to help protect Leah.”

“Protect Leah?” I said. I crawled over to him and tried to touch him. My hand just phased through. I stepped back.

“I am only in your head, Martin.” says Nova. “Others can’t see me and only you can see me.”

“So wait…” I said. “Who even are you?”

Nova sighed.

“I guess I can tell you my story,” he said. “Me and many other spirits were created to serve as companions to superheroes called the EIT. “

I nod.

“I know who they are.”

“You do?” says Nova. “That saves me time.”

He coughed and began to speak again.

“After a fierce battle with a powerful foe, the other spirits and I were locked in a cave to preserve and protect the relics that are able to bring him back from the dead.” says Nova. “The other spirits turned on me and my companion, Lucien, had died right before the attack. He gave me my strength as a master of light. With the power, I ravaged through the others and slayed them all, vaporising the relics out of existence.”

I continued to listen.

“In my final moments, I wasted away my life span, causing me to shrink into something similar to a firefly. I teleported to a jar and hid in there to always watch Lucien’s daughter, Leah Langois.”

“Wow.” I said. “This makes sense. But what does this have to do with you being in my head now.”

“Martin…” says Nova.

“Oh, I broke the jar and you-”

“Yes,” says Nova. “I am too weak to have my own physical form, but I can still protect Leah from inside of your body.”

I walk around for a bit and then turn away from him. Baffled.

“What if I don’t want to be your body?” I spoke. “Am I chained to protect Leah now?”

“You can’t back away Martin,” says Nova. “I have given you power and now you don’t have any choice but to protect Lucien’s daughter.”

I turned around towards him and walked closer as he faded away.

“WAIT!” I yelled. My door burst open and it was Leah. It had looked as if I had been talking to myself. So embarrassing.

“Martin.” says Leah. “What happened?”

I am stressed. What could this mean? I don’t want to be ruled over by Nova. Who does he think he is? Jumping into my body.

“What happened?” asks Leah. I stared into her worried blue eyes.

“That jar that I broke.” I said.

“It was a gift from my father.” says Leah. “Or at least, that’s what my mom told me.”

“That jar had a spirit that your father was best buds with.” I replied. “The power you saw me use against that darkness guy was his power coming out of my body. Nova can talk to me in my mind, he said that his goal is to protect you from danger and because he cannot have a physical form, he is using my body. He wants me to be your guardian.”

Leah was shocked. She just smiled.

“Do you want to be my guardian?” she asks.

“No…. maybe.” I said pulling my head away. She turned around and walked out the door and the strong looking guy with black hair, shades and a black suit stood in her way. It was that Charlie dude. He walked inside and faced me and Leah was confused.

“Vous parliez de trucs d'EIT, n'est-ce pas?” Charlie said.

Leah gasped and put her hands on her mouth. I was confused.

“What did you say?” I asked. Charlie took out his card and showed his ID, which had the AGENT logo on it!

“Wait.” I said. “You’re part of AGENT!”

“Precisely.” says Charlie. “Who is this Nova figure? Tell me more about him.”

Leah and I were freaked so we ran out of the room. This was to avoid spreading any information. We ran down to the bottom of the dorm complex. We ran to the lobby and Charlie was there! We quickly made a 180 degree turn and tried to run in the opposite direction when we tripped into a janitor cleaning bucket. There was also a janitor cleaning there. He wore a navy blue jumpsuit and held a yellow dirty mop. The bucket spilled as we fell onto the ground.

“Why are you running from me?” asks Charlie. “I know your friend Jessica very well, Martin.”

Leah looked at me in disapproval.

“Alright, fine.” I said. “We can talk, but this is classified info, so let’s go somewhere else.”
