Previously:

When they turned around a few women were standing there as if they had been waiting for the couple to finish. "Good evening Ms. Sarah'' the woman in the middle said softly with a smile. She was a petite plus size woman with warm caramel-colored skin. She was dressed in a comfortable, but very traditional garment that was much whiter than anyone else's that Sarah had seen in Wakanda. "My name is Mlezi, this is Abifoluwa and Gia, we are here in case you need anything. If it is okay, we'd like to show you to your room, get you something more to eat and perhaps get you some more comfortable attire for sleeping".

Sarah nodded and looked back at Bucky who smiled. He stepped up to her, placing his hands on her hips and pressing a kiss to her lips. He pulled back slightly and smiled even bigger, "told you '' he said teasingly against her lips. She just rolled her eyes in response before smiling back. "You go ahead , and I'll be there soon" he said. As Sarah left with Mlezi and the two women, Bucky turned to Shuri once again. "Kulungile, ndixelele yonke into endifuna ukuyazi malunga nokuhlaselwa'' he said strongly, shifting roles. Shuri gave a single nod before the two began walking off in a different direction.

As soon as Bucky was certain that Sarah was being cared for by Mlezi and the other Wakandan doulas, he could truly focus on the issue at hand. He listened to Shuri rattle off who all were in the war room and how they were looking for points of origins before leaving him to get back to her lab.

The minute Bucky stepped in the room, the men of the Hatut Zeraze rose to their feet. It happened so quickly that it threw Sam, who was seated at the end of the table, off guard. "Intloko" one of the men said, basically announcing Bucky's presence. Bucky just nodded in acknowledgement before the men sat back down. Sam smirked slightly and made the mental note to tease the man about this royal praise another time.

"Where are we with figuring out who these guys were?" Bucky asked, getting right to it. The room remained silent as everyone looked amongst each other waiting for someone to be the first to speak. This only seemed to irritate him more. "Hello? Don't all speak at once," he said sarcastically. Finally, one of the men cleared his throat before speaking up.

"We still are trying to pinpoint the origin of the attack chief," the middle-aged man said hesitantly. Bucky let out a frustrated sigh and placed both his fists on the table.

"Okay and what do we have from aviation and the border tribe?" he asked frustratedly. The fact that no one seemed to be talking was really starting to piss him off.

"We are still awaiting intel," a younger man said shyly. Something seemed to burst in Bucky as he stood up straight from where he was leaning on the table. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"We see they clearly had Wakandan technology, where did they get it from? How the hell did they know where we were? Is this an attack against the T'challa, White Wolf, Wakanda, Sam and Bucky, the fucking Winter Solider? What?!" he questioned. At this point he was yelling and the air in the room seemed to only grow more tense. "How long has it been since we got here and you're telling me that we have absolutely nothing. No one has a fucking clue as to who just waged war on us."
