Once the phone hung up, Shuri immediately grabbed Riri and basically dragged her back to the lab.
When they got back inside, Shuri was spitting out orders left and right. Scientists began to move around rapidly going to different places. Shuri stopped at a computer and plugged Riri's phone into it, then she grabbed a hammer and hit it.
"Yo Shuri, what the hell are you doing?!"
Shuri grabbed the phone, lit it on fire, and threw it in the trash, "Get rid of that," she told a scientist running by, "That's to keep him from tracking us, even though he probably already knows where we are."
"But how arm I supposed to talk to my family and MJ?" Riri stressed.
Shuri didn't say anything and just pointed at the kimoyo beads on Riri's wrist. "Right now, you need to be focused on your suit." With that, Shuri went back to giving orders and Riri did what she was told.
Shuri began working herself while giving Griot orders as well. She knew that she would probably have to attend another boring council meeting because of this.
She hoped that she didn't come off to rude to Riri and hoped that her girlfriend understood why she couldn't really give her any attention right now. She was trying to figure out who that man was and why he would possibly want to come after Wakanda.
Then something came to her mind. His last words on that call. "A distant relative of another."
Shuri's eyes went up with realization. "Griot, pull up N'Jadaka's information."
"As you wish, my queen."
Shuri went over to the screen and started scrolling rapidly for information. She scrolled and scrolled until she found something that answered her theory.
Siblings: Zacari Reynolds
Of course! This explains everything. The letters, targeting Riri, threatening Wakanda. It all was starting to come together. This was N'Jadaka's brother and it seemed as if he wanted revenge.
"Who's that?" Riri walked up beside her.
"It's a long story that'll I'll tell you about later but to make a long story short, these two assholes are my cousins."
Riri's eyes went wide but of course, she didn't push Shuri and just went back to her suit.
Shuri grabbed every single Panther helmet or necklace, every blueprint and stored them in a place where she knew they'd be safe. She didn't know if Zacari was going to follow in his brothers footsteps but she wasn't gonna take that chance.
When those were put away, she went to go help other scientists.
Riri was upstairs, working and thinking. Well, at least trying to think. There was so much noise in the lab that she could barely do that.
