Wakanda September 7, 2016 - 7:17 am
The palace is beautiful. Wakanda itself is beautiful. The gardens are filled with different flowers and trees, each memorizing in their own right. Their generosity is unlike anything they had expected. Protection? Yes. But what T'Challa has given them is so much more than that. It's something Steve doesn't know if he will ever be able to repay in full.
He offered them peace. Freedom.
Steve watches Natasha stand in the middle of beautiful blooms in shades a pink and red; her hand reaching for the soft, smooth petals, as a peaceful haze flows within her emerald orbs. And the relief that surges through his veins is uncontrollable. This is why he was pushing for them to come here.
The level of security is unmatched. Shuri's technology and the medical advancements offered in Wakanda are unparalleled to anything in their field. And he knew the team needed the space to breathe without any worries, especially Natasha.
After everything that's happened with Alexei and Ross, protecting the team, and worrying about Rose and the baby. Natasha has been wearing herself thin. And she can't risk it, not right now. Not with the baby. Not when the team needs her more than ever. Yelena. Melina. It's a lot of pressure for one person.
But Natasha's not going to crumble.
She'll fight and give it everything she has. That's what Steve loves about her. And he's going to be there with her every step of the way, helping her in any way he is able, even if she doesn't want him to be.
Because he loves her. Always.
Steve shifts slightly on his toes, sensing a presence at his back. He glances over his shoulder, unconsciously shifting his body, blocking Natasha from view. But once he recognizes the figure, Steve's defenses deflate. And he politely nods his head, extending his hand to shake the Wakandan King's.
"King T'Challa," Steve greets warmly.
"Captain," T'Challa acknowledges, smiling.
"I can't possibly thank you enough," Steve begins, "The generosity you have extended. Even though I know it's putting you in a difficult position. Please know I truly do appreciate this. We all do. And know, I am in your debt in whatever way."
