Althea woke up in an unknown room. She looked around and saw a window. She walked towards it to see a beautiful city. She was mesmerized by it. Suddenly she remembered what happened. She quickly lifted the shirt she was wearing to see there was not even a scar left. Althea was so confused as to how she got here and what happened.

Althea was confused as to why she didn't heal when the spear was pierced through her. "Live your human life to the fullest." She remembered her mother words. She didn't understand what she meant then but now she does.

"I m a mortal." Althea mumbled as she realized. "Mother what have you done?" Althea asked to herself  and massaged her already throbbing head. She suddenly saw the door opening. 

She saw as a women approached her. She was bald and had a spear on her hand. Althea raised her hand to channel the air around her if the women try to hurt her. "Relax little warrior." The women said and raised her hand in surrender.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Althea asked straight away as she dropped her hands. "You're in wakanda and I m Okoye . I m part of the Dora Milaje." Okoye explained to Althea who nodded her head.

"I was stabbed. I should be dead." Althea said to Okoye still confused how she is still alive. "Not in wakanda you're not." Okoye said to her. Althea was confused. "I heard stories from people that reside in the outlying villages. I believed it to be myths." Althea said to Okoye and took a seat on the bed.

"The king and queen wish to see you." Okoye said to her which made Althea's eyes go wide. "I do not wish for any trouble. I want nothing but peace from your people." Althea said as she abruptly stood up. She was afraid that they would lock her up.

"The king and queen only want to express their gratitude towards your actions." Okoye said to her which confused her even more. "What actions?" Althea asked her in confusion. "You saved our people from being used as slaves." Okoye said to her which made Althea sigh in relieve knowing they won't lock her up.

"Come on Old Man!" Althea said to Steve who was carrying 3 boxes that contained her things up to his apartment. Steve rolled his eyes as he quickened his pace.

"Where's the keys?" Althea asked as they reached Steve's apartment realizing it was locked. "It's in my pocket." Steve said to her which made Althea let out a sigh.

She reached her hands into his pants pocket and took the keys out. She was blushing furiously. She was thankful that  Steve can't see her now. She opened the door to his apartment and looked around.

It was a 2 bedroom  and 1 bathroom apartment. It was small but it felt like she was home. She looked around and started exploring. "That's your room. It's a shared bathroom so make sure you lock both doors when you're using it." Steve said to her as he put down the boxes.

"So you like it?" Steve asked her as he saw Althea exploring the kitchen and the fridge. "Yeahh! It feels homey." She said to him  and smiled brightly. Steve let out a laugh as he saw Althea explore the apartment excitedly.

"Steve." She called out to Steve from her room. "Yeah." Steve answered not moving from where he was standing near the couch. "Is it too late to say I don't know how to cook." She said to him and walked out of the room.

Steve shot her a confused look. "You don't know how to cook?" Steve asked her as he took a seat on the couch. "I should buy a new TV." She said as she saw Steve's old TV. Steve rolled his eyes. "Of course I don't know how to cook. I grew up in a castle. I literally had servants who would put me into dresses."Althea said to him as she turned to Steve  who let out a sigh.
