Nova charges into Diamond Jack’s lair, determined to stop his insane nuclear gambit. Confident and powerful, she strikes first, easily dominating him in combat. But Jack is no ordinary foe—his manipulative brilliance forces Nova into a reckless mistake, tricking her into draining her own energy. Left vulnerable, breathless, and weakened, she finds herself at his mercy.

Jack capitalizes on her exhaustion, toying with her as he delivers calculated strikes, mocking her helplessness for the world to see. Each blow leaves her struggling to rise, her legendary strength failing. He forces her into an impossible choice: surrender or risk annihilation. As she teeters on the brink, the battle’s stakes grow unbearable. The fate of world leaders—and the survival of countless innocents—rests in her trembling hands. But Diamond Jack plays a long game, and as Nova’s vision fades, she realizes too late that she may have already lost.
