A/N: hey so whenever people in Africa talk and whenever Natalie replies, its in African. I'm putting it in English because I doubt you know how to read african even though you're all pretty awesome.

My eyes shot open when I felt a hand over my mouth. Above me was a man with scars and cuts all over his face, one of his eyes were purple, probably partially blind. The man showed me his knife.

"Give me your money or you and your friend here are dead." The man said.

I nodded then kicked his head, knocking him down. I rolled over, stood up and aimed my gun at his face.

"Give me knife and leave us or I'll shoot you." I said.

The man's eyes widened then he laughed. "You're just a little girl. You wouldn't shoot me."

I slowly lowered the gun and the man stood up and brushed himself off. He lunged towards me with the knife but I quickly shot his hand. He screamed then fell in pain and agony. Nova finally woke up.

"What's going on?" He asked.

I looked at the theif, still clutching his bloody mess of a hand then back at Nova. "Oh you know. Justice and stuff."

"Why'd you shoot him?" Nova asked and stood.

I kicked the theif's hand, he squeaked and it flew out of his hand. "He wanted to rob then kill us." Nova looked at the knife, then back at me. "You're welcome."

I saw a bit of the sun's orange glow peek over the edge.

"It's only 6 in the morning?" Nova asked.

"In Africa," I began. "Yes."

Nova groaned. "Can we sleep?"

"Sure! If you want the other theives and murderers to find us! If not, let's walk." I said.

Nova hastily followed me.

We walked for hours, nothing to drink or eat. But the view in Africa was pretty cool, I'd never been there before. Nova looked totally miserable, he wasnt used to starvation or thirst. I bet all he was thinking about was getting home and relaxing.

"Hey, we haven't eaten for a couple days." Nova said.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Are we going to do something about that?" Nova asked.

"Sure. Feeling like possum?"

"What?" Before he finished his sentance, I spotted a possum and shot it.

"Merry Christmas." I said.

Nova gagged. "No way! I'm not eating that."

I shrugged and we kept walking. After a while, we got to this huge mansion like thing, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Magneto's castle.

"This is it." I said. "Thanks for coming."

Nova nodded. "Good luck." He shot off into the sky, back to NY.

I walke dup to the big door, prepared to knock it down.

'This is it...'
