That would be a no • Steve Rogers [5]

Part 5

We walked off the jet towards T'Challa. "Seems like I'm always thanking you for something." Steve said and they shake hands.

Bruce behind me bowed and I giggled. "We don't do that here." T'Challa said and turned to me, "Sophia. Long time no see."

"Yeah, umm... sorry about... you know."

"It's okay. I understand." We started walked, "So how big of an assault should we expect?"

Banner walked up front, "Sir, I think you should expect quite a big assault."

"How we looked?" Nat asked.

"You will have my kingsgaurd, the border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..." he pointed towards Bucky who walked towards us.

"And a semi-stable 100 year old man." Steve hugged him.

"How you been, Buck?"

"If I didn't know better I would think you guys dating." I said.

Bucky chuckled, "Good to see you, Sophia."

"You too."

We walked upstairs, a girl scanned Vision. "The structure is polymorphic."

"Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially." Banner said.

"Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?"

"Because... we didn't think of it."

"I'm sure you did your best."

"Can you do it?" Wanda asked.

"Yes. But there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures. It will take time brother."

"How long?" I asked.

"As long as you could give me."

An alarm started going on. "Something entered the atmosphere."

I looked at Steve and he squeezed my hand. "You promised you won't die." I said.

"I will keep my promise, Soph."

"We got a situation outside the dom." Rhodey said.

We looked out of the window see rockets trying to break the barrier.

"It's too late." Vision said. "We need to destroy the stone now."

"Vision, get your ass back on the table." Nat said.

"We will hold them off." T'Challa said.

"W, stay with him?" I asked her.

She nodded, "Be safe, okay?"

"Always."

"Get this man a shield!" T'Challa said towards Steve.
