Misery and Destruction

Wakanda - 2018

"Cause you're there for me tooooooooo!" Nish exclaimed as she sang along to the theme song of 'Friends'.

It was her favourite show ever. She had only watched the whole show 5 times since she had been in Wakanda. Bucky and Raz were fed up after the second time watching it.

The three of them live on a farm by a lake on the outskirts of the city in Wakanda. They had a hut in which they slept in but they all preferred to spend the day outside where they could breathe the fresh air after being locked up for majority if their lives.

Nish and Raz had become very friendly with the children of the other farmers that lived near them. They enjoyed playing childish games with them as it was something they never had the chance to. But their favourite activity was playing pranks on the White Wolf. This was a name the Wakandan children had come up with for Bucky. They also called Nish Phoenix and Raz the Silver Dragon. Bucky finally felt happy in his life knowing that his children are enjoying the childhood that they were deprived of.

Nish and Raz would often watch the Dora Milaje train. It always fascinated them how skilful they were with just a spear. They both began to pick up tips. One day Okoye noticed that they were watching so invited them to train with her. The two of them had never looked forward to a training session. Even though they weren't allowed to train with the Dora Milaje, they still enjoyed being taught by their general. 

Whilst Nish watched the show that Shuri had introduced her to, Raz and Bucky continued to throw barrels of old hay into a pile.

All three of them then picked up footsteps coming towards them. They all glanced at the warriors that accompanied the King, one of which was carrying a long metal case.

"And what of these ones?" Okoye asked T'Challa as they were nearing the trio.

"These ones may be tired of war, but the White Wolf, Silver Dragon and Phoenix have rested long enough."

When they reached the trio, one of the armed soldiers placed the case on the hay bale that Nish was sitting against. She stood up as Bucky and Raz came over to see the contents of the case. When they all looked at it, Raz and Nish looked at Bucky waiting for his response.

He continued to stare a little longer before breaking the silence. "Where's the fight?" He asked without breaking eye contact with the vibranium arm.

T'Challa gave a look of sympathy to him before responding. "On its way."

The trio headed to the palace with T'Challa. They were greeted be Shuri who took them to the lab where Bucky had his arm fitted. The three of them got changed into their suits.

Bucky wore a deep blue and brown top which had one long sleeve to protect his working arm and one sleeveless one to show off his new  black and gold vibranium arm. This was worn with a pair of brown cargo pants and brown boots. He was given a brown utility belt to match the brown boots.

Nish was given a pair of tight fitted black leather leggings and a black tight long sleeve top. She also had a pair of black leather boots. The black utility belt sat comfortably on her hips containing all the knives she loved to play with as well as a handgun in case of emergencies. She braided her long, brown, curly hair into two French plaits.

Much like Bucky, Raz received a long sleeve top with cargo pants and boots. But his were all black to also match Nish. His black utility belt was filled with ammunition and guns.

They were informed of Steve's arrival so they walked up towards the landing area.

They watched as the group exited the jet to greet T'Challa. The unfamiliar person bowed very awkwardly to T'Challa which caused the trio to chuckle amongst themselves.

"How we looking?" Nat asked whist the group walked towards the trio.

T'Challa answered. "You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..."

"A semi-stable, 100-year-old man with his two 13 year olds." Bucky cut off T'Challa as he walked towards his best friend.

Steve smiled at his friend and they pulled each other into a hug. Nish and Raz both smiled at the exchange.

"How you been, Buck?" Steve asked as they pulled away.

Bucky looked towards Nish and Raz. "Uh, not bad," He then smiled at Steve. "For the end of the world."

When Steve and a few of the others left, Bucky, Nish and Raz were greeted by some Wakandan warriors. There were three of them that each held a large crate. The first one approached Bucky and opened the crate. The contents was a machine gun made out of vibranium. Already having the ammunition as well as a few back up knives, he lifted the gun and took note of how much lighter it was to any other gun he had used.

Raz was approached by a different warrior. Inside this crate laid a rifle. He studied the rifle further noticing that this too was made out of vibranium. The bullets which had a dragon carving on them fit perfectly into the rifle.

Lastly, Nish came face to face with a sword. The sword was of course made out of the unique Wakandan metal, but what caught her eye was the intricate design that was etched in the blade itself. The carving resembled that of a Phoenix. She lifted the sword and ran her hand over the design.

"Thank you." She smiled at the soldier who nodded in return and walked away with the other warriors.      

Rhodey, Sam, Bucky, Nish and Raz all stood on the landing pad. They were all in their own little world thinking about the events that are yet to come.

They were all pulled out of their thoughts as a meteor like spaceship came hurdling towards the city.

"Hey, Cap, we got a situation here." Sam informed them on the comm.

They all continued to look up, watching the ship come nearer and nearer until it hit the barrier which protected Wakanda.

"God, I love this place." Bucky said in awe. Nish and Raz both nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, don't get excited yet, guys." Rhodey interrupted the moment. "We got more incoming outside the dome." He finished with urgency clinging in his voice.

They all looked towards the ships that looked like a meteor shower. Each one of them landed outside the dome.

"Дерьмо!" ("Shit!")
