Project Next-Gen

Reunion

Shuri's Pov

When T'challa and I got to the avengers base, after quite a long and exhausting trip, he insisted that we go in separately. I didn't know why, but I didn't have a reason to argue so I just went along with it. I walked a few metres away from him and watched him enter the penthouse. I heard him greet someone, but I didn't recognize their voice. I saw the door starting to close, and I figured that was my cue, so I quickly walked over to the door. I was about to knock when the door swung open and I saw a brown-haired white boy, with a look of complete astonishment on his face, standing at the door. He looked me up and down and blinked a few times. He didn't move for so long that I thought he was dead. I decided that I would never get in unless I snapped him out of it.

"Are you gonna keep staring, or are you gonna let me in?" I asked, snapping him out of his trance.

"Ohh yeah Ummm I'm sorry, it's just it's not every day you see royalty," He said moving out of the way and letting me in.

That phrase confused the hell out of me, and I just pointed to T'challa.

"Uhh that's different, he's here all the time." He said after seeing that I was pointing at T'challa.

"Good point," I said, accepting my defeat.

"I'm Peter by the way," he said, holding out his fist.

"I'm Shuri, nice to meet you," I said, bumping my fist with his.

I sensed someone else's presence in the room, and when I looked behind Peter, I saw a person I hadn't seen in a very long time.

"Hey Wanda," I said, waving at her.

I saw Peter spin around as soon as I said her name.

"You were there the whole time?" He asked confusedly.

"Yeah I would have stopped your awkwardness, but it was too funny," She responded.

"Wait how do you two know each other," He asked

"We met in Wakanda right before the snap," I replied. I was about to say more, but I felt the mood of the room shift, and I saw Wanda's facial expression droop.

"Well since I'm gonna be here for a while, what do you guys do around here," I ask, trying to lighten the mood.

"Superhero-ing, and building gadgets," They both said in sync.

"Well I don't really do superhero-ing, but I love building gadgets, I even have my fabricator in my suitcase," I replied

"That's awesome, you can put it in our lab, in the meantime we can show you around," Peter said and I followed the two out of the penthouse.

We walked and talked for about 5 minutes and we entered a dark room. Wanda turned on the lights and I saw a huge 'LEGACY' sign on the furthest wall opposite the door, and underneath it, there were 3 capsules. Shortly after the lights in the room turned on, lights in the capsules turned on and revealed three suits belonging to three heroes. Captain America, Black Widow and Ironman.

"This is the legacy room, it's where we honour fallen heroes," Peter explained.

One of the armed people stepped forward and put a clenched fist in the air, signalling the others to stand down. They seemed to have more armour than the others and theirs was navy instead of black, so I assumed they were the leader. They looked me up and down, and I realised that my clothes were tattered from running through the trees, and the hydra logo on the left side of my chest was shredded.

"What are you doing here," they asked sternly, their voice sounding feminine and serious.

I kinda just stood there like an idiot not saying anything.

The leader put their hand behind their back and pulled out a pair of handcuffs and walked toward me.

"Kid, you're in a crime scene under investigation, I'm gonna have to take you in for questioning." She explained and put the cuffs on my hands.

She signalled her troops to fall back and she brought me back to one of her vehicles. She brought me to a van and opened the back. I got in and she closed the door after me. Then I heard the driver and passenger doors open, and the engine roared. I sat in silence for a few seconds, before I felt a wave of fatigue hit me, and I was soon fast asleep.
