Supernova (Renegades, #3)

by Marissa Meyer

“The media and our detractors are trying to divide us at every opportunity.

So youre gonna let yourslef be manipuled and blackmailed into killing people hmm sounds very villanous to me

we need to be united in this decision.” “And why’s that, exactly?” said Adrian, feeling venom in his throat. “Do we not want the world to know this is actually a dictatorship?”

Holy go adrian

Maybe, just maybe, she really did know who murdered his mother.

Yuuh his imagination

If any of it was real . . . Sorrow crept over her, wrapping her up like a blanket. Her feelings for him had been real. They were still real. But . . . evidently, not real enough.

All thoughts left her, leaving the inside of her head cavernous and echoing only with his words. Sweet, compassionate Adrian Everhart. Sketch. A Renegade and, truly now, her enemy.

Because he asked about her adoptive family.

tell us where you hid the helmet and the Vitality Charm. Tell us what you know about the rest of the Anarchists. That’s all you have to do, and you won’t have to die.”

Rather die tbh

Nova swallowed. “It was real, ” she whispered. “I hope you know that.” He watched her, unflinching, expressionless. Finally, he said, “I wish I could believe that, Nova. But we both know it’s just one more lie.”

though one more reminder of who and what she was shouldn’t have hurt, it still did.

Bro this redemption arc better be so good

“Ruby’s family agreed to this. No one wants to see you stuck in a quarantine again.

He kidnapped his brother

“Your sentiments are so sweet, ” said . . . said . . . Nightmare?

Narcisa i know its you and i love you right know

a phrase he’d almost certainly picked up from Nova,

They all picked it up adran and oscar, maybe ruby

“Go ahead and execute Ace Anarchy, if you really think it’s going to make a difference, killing a weak, defenseless old man all for the sake of your popularity ratings.

Nova was innocent.

Mind gamezzz but also the only way they can be together is if he believes shes innocent

“I should have believed you. I’m so, so sorry.”

See you say all that im like meh 😐 theres no feelings at all just meh

“Where’s my bracelet?”

Yes we only care about important things

“I’m sure she turned it in at headquarters.”

You didnt check??!!! You idiot

Not her metal face mask, but one that was similar enough that it immediately set her palms to sweating, and her mind returning to that refrain—It’s a trap! She wondered how much Adrian must hate her to have agreed to be part of such a cruel ambush.

Honestly same this would be so sus if she didnt know about the mall

gaped at him, feeling mildly insulted. They thought Narcissa Cronin was Nightmare? She’d seen the girl fight, and it wasn’t exactly impressive.

The world dimmed—the city, the journalists, her false uncle—everything vanishing but for Adrian and his nervous stare boring into her.

Babyyy

“It was always real for me, too, ” he finally said, his voice barely a whisper. “I hope you know that.”

Oh so now you believe her tsk tsk youre no logan ready to risk everything to save your lana

All she cared about was conveying in this moment, with this kiss, what she might never have another chance to say. This was real. In spite of everything, her feelings for Adrian Everhart were real, and she was going to keep this moment pinned inside her heart for the rest of her life. No matter what the future held, she would cherish this kiss, and his words, forever.

Her heart leaped. “Leroy!” He beamed at her. “Welcome back, little Nightmare.”

Family 🥲

One cannot be brave who has no fear . . . Those words were found on a slip of paper left on my mother’s body. How many times had she heard Phobia say that? It

Ooooohhh all this time it was phobia?? No way it cant be that easy

When the simple fact that we are prodigies who aren’t Renegades automatically makes us suspect.” “Makes us suspect, and makes us a target,

“Did you know only fifteen percent of the crimes in this city are committed by prodigies? But the Renegades put eighty percent of their task force on hunting down prodigy offenders, and all but ignore the rest.

Ha of course they do its their insecurity

“We take the blame for everything that goes wrong in this city. All so the Renegades can go on pretending to be big and honorable. ‘Look, we caught another prodigy, one who robbed a convenience store six years ago! Don’t you feel safe now?’ It’s prejudice, every bit as much as the people who used to stone us for being demons.”

Gurl im already on your side but say it louder!!

“Yeah, I am afraid that I’m going to fail again, ” she said, still peering into the nothingness of Phobia’s face. “But one cannot be brave who has no fear.”

His mom had told him that one way to combat bad dreams was to draw them out—

Well dear mother that was a terrible idea

“Next time, I promise, ” Nova insisted. Extricating her arm from Ruby’s grip, she walked backward, waving good-bye. “Have fun. Tell Adrian I said hi.”

Why is she being sus already

“If his heartbroken tears fall on my chicken pesto deluxe, I’m blaming you! I don’t like salty pizza!”

“Nova’s not Nightmare.” “I know, ” said Max, but his tone said otherwise.

At least someone is smart

Maybe it’s time I come clean, though. Tell everyone the truth.”

Bad timing, they gon kill you

Turbo stood, watching Max with its black eyes. It made another sound—this one a pathetic mewl—and slowly reached forward one little claw, stretching the tiny needle-like talon forward until it barely tapped the end of Max’s nose. Then, like watching a wind-up toy as it finally wound down, the little dinosaur grew still.

Oh heck i dont want to cry

you have to be quick once you’re in.” Narcissa appeared thoroughly unimpressed. “And here I was hoping to get some quality reading time while I was there.”

but it seems safe to say that he was drawing Phobia . . . even back then.”

Geeezzz

“He created Phobia, ”

“He created the monster that killed his mother.”

They were crafted from the same raw material, taken from the same source.”

Monteith Theory of Prodigy Origin?”

Hhhuuuuhhhh????

He made the helmet, among other things, and he made this magnificent gem as well.”

Le gasp

A weapon that was strong enough to defeat even the invincible Captain Chromium.

I love you but i dont think your dad made it as a weapon

With Ace Anarchy’s execution only hours away, he suspected that strike would come sooner than later.

Holy moly they better be ready. I know im not

“Just ask her out. It’s not that big of a deal.” Oscar groaned. “Not a big deal? I’m trying to tell the girl of my dreams that she’s, you know . . . the girl of my dreams! That’s the biggest deal of my life!”

Oscar the realest mvp

saying that she at least deserves some glory if she can’t have revenge.

Glory for stabbing max cuz thats the only thing she did, she didnt stop nightmare from taking the helmet or even hurt her to slow her down, she abused her power and standing as renegade, and destroyed hq but she wants glory 😤

the purpose of the Renegades was and had always been to ensure the safety of their citizens, while working to improve the quality of life for both prodigies and non-prodigies around the world.

U sure about that

They kept me in the head of a victim for all those years, and they turned me into a monster, too.

But not everyone was like that

“I am no longer a villain.”

Geeez thats heavy. I feel for him really maybe his ability was a bad one but it helped him survive to some extent. But not everyone has evil abilities so its unfair to get them taken away

I once destroyed a world order in which prodigies were condemned and persecuted by those who feared us, those who could not appreciate our potential. And now . . .” He faced the Captain. “Now we are condemned and persecuted by our own.

this dictatorship.

Yeeeeeeaaahhh

She saw the Council shifting in their seats, trading looks with one another. She noticed Dr. Hogan checking her wristwatch.

Ohhmaaggaaa they changed it!!!
