The Hot Canary (A Brian Quinn Fanfic)

Part 29: Look Out Below

The next morning, Nova got up early and went to work just as she planned to do. She still hadn't heard from Robin or her parents since she left the hospital the day prior and she decided to leave them alone for the day to give them all a chance to work out what was going to happen next. 

Robin was not exactly forgiven yet in Nova's eyes and Nova knew it was going to be a long time before she was. She knew that she did the right thing by getting her to the hospital and waiting for her parents to arrive but Robin's mishap was not enough for Nova to completely forget what she had done to her. There was a lot of damage she caused and Nova was not going to go the extra mile for her anytime soon. 

Between what she did to her and Q and the hurtful voicemails, Robin was going to be on her shit list for a while. Nova knew that she had a lot of issues that Robin had to work out and she did wish her the best as far as her recovery went, but that was about as far as her good wishes were going to go. 

Nova arrived to the skydive center in the travel van with the rest of the crew. Today, according to Allison, they were going to be filming a punishment that Murray had to do. Little to his knowledge, he was going to be jumping out of a plane today and Murr had no clue about it!

He was going to be under the impression that he and the guys were going to be teaching a skydiving class, and not actually part taking in the event itself. The guys were going to surprise him when they were in the middle of doing their intro, and go from there.  

Nova could not wait to see his reaction when he found out!

They all drove up to the entrance and together, they started bringing in all the equipment. Geoff led the way and gave a low down of how he wanted everything set up and everyone went to work on it. Even though she hadn't been with the crew for long, Nova was starting to catch on to the routine and how they did things. She had always been a fast learner and did well being thrown into things. 

Nova was in the middle of running cords when Sal and Brian showed up. This was one of the few shoots where they didn't have to show up later, being that they had the whole place rented out for the day and outside access to the place being limited. They didn't have to worry about strangers coming up and getting in the way during set up, trying to get close to the Jokers. 

"Hey" Brian said as he walked up to Nova who was on her hands and knees taping down a cord. 

"What's up" Nova said casually as she looked up to see him. 

"Nothing much, how did last night go?" Brian asked, referring to Robin. 

"Eh, I don't know. I haven't spoken to anyone...I'm not exactly going out of my way to do so, so I guess I'll know whats going on when Robin is well enough to come around and tell me herself" Nova said dully. 

"Yeah? Well that has got to be frustrating, Do you know when she's getting out of the hospital?" Brian asked. 

"Not a clue" Nova said as she stood up and stretched with the roll of tape in her hands. She didn't really want to talk about it anymore. 

"So, Does Murr still not have a clue what's going on today?" Nova asked, trying to change the subject. 

"Nope...No idea! He should be arriving soon with Joe, I think Joe wanted to give him a ride so that he won't try to leave. He's going to flip! I can't wait to see how everything translates to film, I know for a fact he HATES heights."

"Hahaha yeah, you don't get much higher than that" Nova replied as they began walking back to base. 

"Welllll....figuratively speaking, I would have to disagree with you" Q said, looking at Nova out of the corner of his eye.
