Okay. So. Training with 

Okoye

wasn't so bad. She didn't go easy on me not at all but, I did pick up what she taught very quickly. I waited until after little Shuri was born to ask about Nakia I knew about her but, I didn't know.

What I did know was that she and T'Challa were a thing and they were really cute.

So while playing with Shuri I asked which was perfect timing cause my birthday was coming up so this could be their gift to me.

"Queen, King?" I had broken myself of calling them Mom and Dad they didn't say anything about it but, they noticed.

"Yes, my daughter." They still referred to me as their child even though I wasn't.

"I thinking for my birthday that you don't get me a gift and I instead grant me passage to study with Nakia." I tickled Shuri making her laugh bringing a smile to all our faces.

"If that's what you really wanna do."

"It's what I really wanna do." I was nodding so fast I thought my neck was going to snap.

I celebrated by dancing with Shuri and blowing raspberries onto her little cheeks.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I had already asked but, she said she needed you two to sign off. I was going lie and say you did because I thought you'd never let me do it but, you did, have so, thank you." I gasp for air making Shuri laugh.

I again quickly took to the teaching of Nakia. She taught me everything and unlike

Okoye

when I messed up she told me what I did wrong.

Okoye

would have me do whatever it was again until I didn't mess up. I moved up the chart almost... Almost surpassing the teacher but, she beat me.

"Never teach anybody everything. " She spoke out of breath.

I laughed letting the cool water wave in and out my ears, damping my hair and cooling me down. I floated in the water for a few before laughing like an idiot... My life was amazing.

When Shuri was old enough she started the princess duty training surpassing me instantly and I had no shame in telling her to keep it up.

With her training left me open to check on my babies. They were growing, becoming slender sleek predators. I had taught them to run from any signs of danger, to look out for each other and find the little shelter when they needed.

Prey, the smallest leopard, quickly fell into the role of the ruse getting the prey near before the older siblings went in for the kill.

I heard the official footsteps of the

Dora Milaje,

and two pairs of extra footsteps. I scrambled out of my room hoping to catch them.

I saw W'Kabi but, couldn't see the other guy. They were headed to the throne room... "Ooh, official shit," I thought.

I straightened my back and walked a good distance behind them but, when it actually came to getting into the throne room. I was denied.

No problem.

I ran down the stairs to the second level and knocked until I heard the hollow sound. Backing up to get a running start I used the distance of the jump to gain air gripping the edge of the hole.

Once inside I crawled into the throne room. Shuri was there, and the Queen. The only person that didn't belong was the good-looking guy with the scowl on his face.

But, my god was he beautiful. I shook the chills that ran through my body away and hid behind the pillar. Sliding to the floor when T'Challa stood from the seat.

I couldn't hear what they where were saying but, whatever the other guy said didn't make T'Challa too happy.

Without cause for anything, he was let go. I mean it wasn't like he killed anyone so there was no real reason to hold him.

T'Challa asked the council to leave which left Himself, Ayo, Nakia, Ramonda, Shuri, W'Kabi and myself.

"I don't like him. He seems like trouble." Nakia spoke.

"We should have someone watch him," W'kabi said no doubt looking at Nakia.

"I agree. But, he has seen all our faces. "

I hadn't really been paying attention when they started listing off hopefuls. But, perked up when Nakia mentioned me.

Of course, I had thought of popping up like a flower but, really had to look at the consequences of my actions.
Besides Challa wouldn't allow me to do that.

"No. Absolutely not." See told you.

"She's the only one that doesn't look like a Wakanda. We'll pose her as an arms dealer, we'll make it so she'll never have to meet up with him. " Nakia proposed to him.

I thought about her plan in my head thinking that it could possibly work if he didn't seem like the person to know everything about the people he works with. Meaning if he ask to meet and I deny he'll move on to the next.

The air in the room changed catching me whilst in the middle of my thought. I moved to my feet about to make a move toward me escape but, getting blocked by a staff.

"Not off to a great start."

"No thanks to you."

T'Challa looked at me. It wasn't a question of if I would do it cause he already knew I would. The question was would I stick to the plan once it was laid out for me.

"If anything goes wrong... I'll pull you out myself."

"Understood," I said quickly

Now I'm a jet going to the states, starting my "life" as Niza Harper.

Should be fun.
