Fan Casting Nova in Guardians of the Galaxy: Viva Space Vegas

[Tivan] - Well, you know how the Nova Corps are supposed to operate, don't you? They can't go invading a planet like this without a base and...without revealing what they're after. And who knows what might happen until they have it... - ... - You're cunning, Rider. That's different from impulsive. There are things that shouldn't be used, but kept in a safe place, out of reach of those who don't know what they can do. - Hmm, like you? - I can sense his disregard as he says this. - After all, why do you care about that?; At this moment, Tivan gives an enigmatic smile: - Balance. What can be very dangerous in a hand needs to be...amputated from it. - ... - Maybe the Nova Corps didn't teach you this, but someone doesn't always need altruistic motivations to do the right thing. The value of an item is rarely recognized until it's placed at the center of a risk. And I'm not so naive as to believe that something like this can't hurt me too. Or risk losing everything I've gained...to use something I could never dream of controlling. - ...What do you intend to do with...this? [He smiles] although it's a smile that doesn't convey complete confidence: - Some things are better left behind when locked away. Do we have a deal, Nova? - .....Okay. - That's great! And oh, before I forget. Something tells me you could lend me a hand with a certain little group my collaborator's been involved with lately. - Who is it, Tivan? - The Guardians. - Wait, what do they... - Let's just say they seem to have their own problems to deal with there, remember what they've done before. See you later. At that moment, a holographic screen appears, displaying a location. - Looks like this is going to be busier than I imagined.
