Your Pov

On the plane back to London I put my laptop back into my bag and sigh. I missed a lot in two months. I had emails from old friends all over the world asking why no one could get ahold of me. There was one message from James * The prime minister, said you were alive. Thank God, don't vanish on me like that.* That came through yesterday, strange he normally would have called or messaged me when I went dark. Slowly as the plane landed I put all my things in my bag, and pulled my brown coat over my suit and made my way into the airport with my bag on my back. I was grateful for the things Tony had given to me but I couldn't keep them. At the shop in the airport, I bought a new phone and laptop and headed for my apartment. The streets of London busy with people running to and from work coffee in hand, some running down the street with headphone on. Cyclist racing past then with taxis and busses filling the road, it was similar to New York, I climb the stairs up to my apartment and went to pull out my keys but I saw the door was slightly open so reached for my gun and slowly made my way inside. I slowly moved deeper into the apartment ensuring I missed the floorboards that squeaked I heard a loud thud in my bedroom and placed the gun off safety. I pushed the door lightly and tried to see if I could see anyone. I heard the window smash and I kicked the door open and raised my gun towards it. Whoever was here just jumped. I ran over to the window and saw a zip line heading for the building opposite.

I took off my belt and threw my rucksack on both shoulders and a few down after this mystery person. Sprinting after them. I got closer and took a short cut anticipating they were jumping towards the dock. As I ran across the next roof I jumped over the stairs on the side of the building, slowly breaking my fall. Until I reach the bottom, I managed to catch up. I saw them just ahead of me. They were wearing a full black suit exactly like mine. With a black hood. I froze in place, I started to sweat even more and took off in the opposite direction, I pulled out my phone and called the only person I could trust.

"I need your help, It's the KnightHood," I said quickly as I kept running not stopping and extremely out of breath.

"Usual landing spot we will send a jet to get you. Destroy your phone and laptop. See you in 20" The voice called back as I hung up I threw my rucksack and phone straight in the dock.

Sprinting through people I grabbed a hat and some sunglasses off a stand nearby and flew into the crowd and slowed into a quick walk keeping my head down, I headed for the outskirts of London. As I quickly made my way down the steps of the underground station I jumped on the tube line and into the crowded little train capsule. I took a deep breath to lower my heart rate. I was trying to think of my next plan.

As the tube stopped at the end of the line I slowly made my way to the abandoned factory and through the fence. As I looked up there was a small jet and an old friend with a small smile on his face as I got closer and embraced him in a hug. I saw the pain and the worry behind his eyes

"It's been a while, let's get you back home and we can catch up" His deep voice rang through me and gave me a sense of comfort when we walked to the jet with his hand on my shoulder.

"It's Good to see you old friend, I'm sorry to call. Your family are the only ones I can trust." I said as we sat down in the jet I nodded my head to his pilot.

Soon after we're in the air and I placed my head in my hands took a deep breath and a long sigh followed. "They thought I was dead, as they walked away from my body, they thought I wasn't getting back up and left me to rot, before blowing up the building with me in it"

"I know brother we will get back and talk to my sister, but they are back and they don't want their White Knight getting in the way of their mission" your old friend stood up and walked over to a pile of clothes. "Here take these I have a feeling you might be staying a while."

I took the clothes and changed quickly into the white and black robes he gave me I took a deep breath and walked toward the front of the jet. Looking out the window I saw the trees everywhere with the river flowing down the middle. I would never get used to how beautiful this place was as we went deeper into the trees and as it looked like we were heading to nothing but more trees, my old friend smiled at me.

"Welcome back to Wakanda"
