A/N - Are we still in spoiler season for BP2? If so here is the warning for spoilers ahead! 

Based on the scene where Ramonda and Shuri are at the ocean and Ramonda burns T'challa's robes. But Namor doesn't attack in this. Shuri is also your wife and Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch is your mother. (adopted if you're not the same skin colour)

Things have been chaotic this year to say the least. The saddest part being the death of King T'challa aka the brother of my wife. Both me and her mother Queen Ramonda have tried everything to get to grieve the loss of her brother but being her stubborn self, she refuses and continues to submerge herself into her lab. So, me and Ramonda try to come up with ways to get her out of there, even for a few hours. The one thing Ramonda came up with was dragging Shuri down to the shore and burning T'challa's robes to mark the end and remember the good times and know he will have moved onto the ancestors realm. Needless to say, it was Ramonda who persuaded or forced Shuri out of her lab. Which brings us to right now. 

While down at the shore, I set up the fire and Ramonda lit it. Once the fire was fully burning, she placed his robes into the flames. "You should do this too Shuri." Ramonda tells her. "No. I can't. If I burn anything it won't be T'challa's robes. It will be the entire planet and everyone in it. To burn means the end." Me and Ramonda look at each other. "Look, I get it. Grieving is hard. I went mad when my mother destroyed herself after becoming the Scarlet Witch. If it weren't for you, both of you, I probably would have found my way back to the Darkhold and taken possession of it myself. God knows what would have happened then. But when I met you and came here, you all helped me get through it and I realised I would have been in the wrong just like my mother." I tell her trying to get some sense into her. "But what does this have to do with burning his robes?" Shuri asks me. I turn to Ramonda for help then. 

"The story y/n told you is important because she's saying if you don't work through the grief and pain, it will consume you and eventually your soul will become dark if left unchecked." Ramonda tells her. I watched my wife as she takes in what we both just told her. Then she sat down in between us and carefully takes her brothers robes. She's hesitant both me and Ramonda know that and I place her hand in mine and Ramonda does with Shuri's other one. "Deep breath. It'll be okay." I tell her. And she does as I said and lets go of our hands and gently places the robes into the flames watching them disintegrate until they have completely burnt away. 

My attention is now on Shuri who has tears rolling down her cheeks and I immediately wrap my arms around her shoulders in attempt to comfort her. It seems to work as she relaxes into the hug but the tears still roll down her cheek. I know full well she needs to let it out so I just let her cry until she eventually stops. We all remain silent just thinking about the good times we had with T'challa. 

Eventually, Ramonda tells us its getting late and we should be heading back to the palace. Ramonda walked ahead of me and Shuri who clung her arms around my shoulders on the way back. "How did you get over it?" I knew exactly what she meant. "Truth is, I haven't. Sometimes I have dreams that convince me that my mother could be alive out there somewhere but I know that is impossible. And if she were, Dr Strange and Wong would be the first to find me since they see her as a threat. I'd like to think she's not gone though. Who knows, maybe it's the magic of the Scarlet Witch that lingers even though my mother's physical form is gone." Shuri nodded in understanding and we spent the rest of the walk back to the palace in silence. A peaceful silence.
