After the time they spent together, and Aiden had no doubt he had a copy of Nova's ability, it was time to fulfill Aiden's mission.
However, throughout the drive towards the point, they both didn't interact.

Aiden was actually satisfied with this. He could tell he had her attributes already, but she couldn't tell if she had grown stronger.
"This is it," said Aiden, stopping the car in front of a tall sky building. Two guards adorned in suits were stationed outside.
"I think we're gonna need your heroine ID," said Aiden.
But it seemed Nova didn't hear a thing he said. She was motionlessly staring at the windshield until Aiden snapped his fingers right in front of her face.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Um..." she paused, staring at Aiden. "Does your talent require another session?"
Having heard that, Aiden's left eyebrow rose. So she has been thinking about what we did, thought Aiden.
He sighed. Then a red flush appeared on Nova's cheek.
"Nothing," Nova jumped in before Aiden could say anything.
"Okay, sure," said Aiden.
They got out of the car and started heading towards the building. As the men stepped forward, Nova brought out her ID, allowing them to walk through.
—————————
Inside the building, a man stood facing the glass as he viewed the city far from him.
"Mr. Charles... uh, somehow Mr. Aiden Storm found you and he's here, sir," said an employee.
"Let him in. Only him," said Charles. He sighed, knowing it wasn't an accident Aiden found him.
And the employee did as he was told. Nova was told to stand outside while Aiden went in alone.
"How did you find me, kid?" asked Charles. He was pretty much convinced by his technology that he was off the radars of humanity.
"You keep forgetting I'm the richest villain," said Aiden.
Charles looked behind him and saw Nova leaning against the wall through his transparent glass. She was somewhat playing with a black-purple energy.
"You knew my men wouldn't let you in without a warrant," Charles sighed again. "What do you want?"
"Just here to ask a few questions," said Aiden. Charles gave a nod, prompting him to go ahead.
"What's Fallen planning this time?"
"What?" Charles asked.
"I know that bastard has a plan, and I'm gonna spoil it."
"Fallen has his eyes on you, Aiden. If I were you, I'd run away from this city quick. And he has all the Seats looking for some child I believe possesses a rare ability."
With the Seats looking for him, Aiden already knew the amount of trouble he had on him.
There were six Seats known as the Masters of Deception. But with Aiden out, there were now five Seats left.
The Seats had taken an oath to always serve Fallen, and if anyone should turn against their master, they would all come for him.
Capturing people with rare abilities was one of their duties, because Fallen feeds on extra-rare abilities, making him stronger.
Charles brought out a photo: a kid and his father, both having blue hair, were the ones in the photo.
"Somehow the little child escaped, but his father was killed."
"What type of ability?" asked Aiden.
"My spies say it's something related to decay. He touches anything and that's the end of it," said Charles.
"There's something else. I want you to leak this information to the Hero League Organization," said Aiden.
He planned on letting the heroes know what Fallen was planning. That way, it'd be easy to spoil the plan and find the kid quicker.
"What? No way! If they somehow found out it was me, I would get killed," said Charles, raising his voice higher than before.
"Fine... give me the drive."
Having heard that, Charles quickly took the USB file from his computer in front of him and handed it over to Aiden.
As he was stretching it out—Boom!—the glass shattered with enormous power, even sending Charles slamming past the door.
"What the hell was that?" Aiden growled. As he stood up, he saw through the shattered windows two men in black suits outside the opposite building.
One pointed his fingers at Aiden and acted as if he had shot him. However, it was definitely a shot heading toward Aiden.
Bam!
But Nova stepped in, kicking the ball of invisible shot to the opposite side, eradicating the whole left side of the building they were in.
"You sure you got my abilities? 'Cause the energy blast was heading toward your head," said Nova.
Perplexed, Aiden didn't even know something like that was coming. He had felt something—just didn't trust his instincts.
Without wasting too much time thinking about it, Aiden burst through the broken window. At least he doesn't need any lessons to learn how to use Nova Energy for flight.
"Okay, he did get my powers," Nova chuckled and burst toward the same direction as well.
As Aiden landed on the building, the men didn't wait for Aiden to enjoy his perfect landing. One of them threw a punch and leaped back.
His punch was a decoy that allowed his partner to burst out another energy from his fingers.
"Look out, Aiden!" yelled Nova.
However—Kaboom!—Nova jumped in and kicked it aside again, then twirled in mid-air immediately after she landed.
Kaboom!
Nova clapped her hands together. The windows of the building they stood on all shattered at the same time, and the villains were sent blocks away from them.
"Clearly someone needs lessons on how to use my powers," said Nova.
"Thanks for the boost, though." Nova giggled like a child.
"I needed those men," said Aiden.
Aiden wasn't really impressed by anything she had done, because he had planned on interrogating those men—but they'd been blasted off the building.
He sighed and turned around toward Mr. Charles' building. The man had gotten on his feet and raised the USB drive.
Aiden felt relieved.
