"I hope you're right about this, or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to." Sam said, making me smile softly.
The Quinjet passed through a camouflage force field into Wakanda, and landed at the airfield outside the palace.
"Should we bow?" Bruce asked, and Rhodey nodded as if it were obviously.
"Yeah, he's a king."
I knew he was pranking Banner, since I'd met T'Challa before, and I gave him an amused look.
"Seems like I'm always thanking you for something." Steve said, shaking hands with T'Challa, and I was next.
Bruce bowed to him, but he gestured for him to stop.
"We don't do that here." T'Challa said, turning to look at me.

"Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?"
"Because, we didn't think of it." Bruce smiled sheepishly, and she laughing lightly.
"I'm sure you did your best."
"Can you do it?" Wanda asked, and she nodded.
"Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures." Shuri said, turning to look at T'Challa.
