If the solicitation for this month's Nova is accurate, he, Darkhawk, and Quasar will be hustling Earthward to warn all the heroes there about the horrific creature about to emerge from the Fault and eliminate death in their universe.
I'm hoping Namorita will be out of that 'self-protective fugue' she was in at the end of last month, and come along as well. She can't survive in space on her own, but there's no reason the Nova Corps couldn't hook her up with a space suit (maybe even a bit of the Nova Force?), or Quasar could make a protective bubble.
My reason for wanting this is simple: If Namorita goes back to earth, she can have a reunion with her mother, who was dead the last 'Nita knew (and 'Nita is dead as far as Namora knew). It's easy. They arrive on Earth, head right for Reed Richards and explain the situation. It's dire enough they round up everyone, and since the X-Men and New Avengers know Atlas isn't really a bunch of crooks, and can be quite formidable, they show up.
Plus, we both the X-Men and Atlas involved, Namor ought to put in an appearance, so we might get a panel of him gobsmacked at seeing his 'little cousin' back from the dead. How often do we have the opportunity to see Namor struck speechless? The speechlessness would be followed with Namor no doubt being furious at whoever is playing a trick on him until Nova or Darkhawk can explain what happened.
My goal with this would be Atlas goes into space to help, pitting whatever is coming through the Fault against the two coolest teams in the Marvel Universe*, Atlas and the Guardians of the Galaxy. The universe saved, 'Nita heads back to earth for some bonding with her mom, and we get a mother-daughter butt-kicking, crimefighting team.
Which is not something I can recall too many examples of at Marvel or DC. Wonder Woman and Hippolyta have worked together on several occasions, and I think Jean Grey had to work with Rachel at some point**. Supergirl and her mother worked together during World of New Krypton, right? I can't think of any others, so there could be an opportunity for some fun stories. It could involve typical Atlas stuff, or defending the scattered people of Atlantis stuff, or old-school New Warriors stuff. How does 'Nita react to having a mother again (and being alive in a world where she died making the error of appearing in a Mark Millar written comic)? How does Namora handle having a daughter older than she remembers, who's been through even weirder adventures than Namora has? I'm just throwing possibilities out there, you can suugest your own.
* Fine, two coolest active teams in the Marvel Universe, since NextWave seems scattered to the four winds.
** There was an issue of Excalibur after Colossus left the X-Men where they were both on Muir Island and had a nice talk, but they didn't fight Acolytes together.

Rachel and Jean have tended to be alive in alternating periods since Scott and Jean's wedding.
However they did sort of work together during the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. Admittedly Rachel was in a coma for most of that so I don't know if it counts.
seangreyson: If Rachel could astral project, then I say it counts.
I wonder why it works out like that? Do writers not like having two characters potentially drawing off the Phoenix Force?
