Stephanie watched as Edward did his magic, saving the kitten from the tree and then watching it turn into the spawn of satan and attack him! She yelped, jumping back as the cat hissed away, running into a nearby ally. The old woman went running after as Nova couldn't help but chuckle. "You did better than what I would have done, I would have just ripped the tree from it's roots and shook the damn thing till the cat flew out." The older hero joked as she playfully elbowed Edward. Just the, she felt a tug on her outfit. Arching her brow she looked down to find a boy standing next to her, he couldn't be more than five or six years old. "Oh, hey there little buddy, what's up?" Stephanie smiled at him as she knelt down on one knee so she could be at eye level to him.
Just then the boy began speaking to her, but in french, and very very very fast, like a rapper on crack. The hero's eyes widen as she leaned slightly back, she had no idea what the boy was saying! She looked over at Edward who seemed to have a slightly amused look on his face. 'Help me' she mouthed to him, begging for assistance as he looked over at the distance. "Kid said his parents have a flat, he needs your help." he whispered over to her.
"OH!" she turned back to the kid and nod her head. "I can totally help you!" Which was kinda sorta a lie... Stephanie had NO clue how to change a tire of a car.
But the kid was so ecstatic that he grasped her hand into his and began pulling her away from Edward, the two walking, maybe, a block before she saw a small black car on the side of the road with who she assumed were his parents, arguing and pointing at the car. The boy then called out to his parents as they looked over at the two with a shocked look on their face. The mother began rambling to the son as she looked at Stephanie, the parents almost amazed that she was there before them. The boy began speaking back pointing at Nova then pointing back at the car. The father then took a step forward, speaking to her just as quickly as the little boy did, omg was this family made up of rappers!? He was pointing at what seemed to be the tire jack and then back at the right back tire that was obviously flat. "Hhhmm..." she knelt down next to the tire jack as she began fumbling with it, only to find out that it wasn't working. OH! It clicked in her head, they needed her to lift the car so THEY could fix the tire. Stephanie nod her head to them. "I got this guys." she smiled as she crouched next to the car, her hands reaching under the frame as she slowly stood up, the right side of the car being tilted to the left so the father could get to the flat tire. The little boy clapped his hands in excitement as the mother pulled out her phone, taking pictures of what was going on. The hero couldn't help but give a wide smile as she stood there while the father was seen scrambling o change the tire. Just a few minutes later the father gave a thumbs up to Stephanie and as gently as she picked it up, she set the car down. The new tire in place as she dust her hands.
The family cheered as they came around her and gave her a big group hug. Nova laughed as she hugged each of them back before pulling away. Kneeling down to the boy she ruffled his hair. "Now you be cool and stay in school, you got a good head on your shoulders." she stood up as she waved by to the family before making her way back to Edward.
Finally reaching him she had a bright smile on her face. "You know what, I kinda like this more than getting my face beaten in by bad guys, we need to do this more often."
