T'Challa and Catalina hurried out of the club and into a random car. "Shuri!" T'Challa yelled, and suddenly the car roared to life.
"Wait! Which side of the road is it?" The voice of a young girl echoed throughout the car.
"For Bast's sake just drive!" T'Challa yelled, then the car began speeding down the street after the car Klaue had escaped in. T'Challa pressed a button on his wrist which caused his Black Suit to appear over his skin within seconds. Catalina watched in awe at the tech, and felt the desire to learn more about it grow with each passing second.
"Who is that?" Catalina inquired as she began to unzip her luxe dress.
"What are you doing?!" T'Challa shrieked in embarrassment that the girl was undressing right before his eyes.
Catalina chuckled and continued to peel the dress off of her, and as soon as she managed to fully strip away the dress, she revealed her concealed combat suit that Tony Stark had made for her. "Getting ready for this fight. Now answer my question." Catalina snickered at the King's timidness. He carefully turned his head to look at Catalina, he sighed out in relief when he realized she was in a combat suit.
"My sister. Princess Shuri. She's controlling this car." T'Challa instantly answered then began to climb out of the car through the window to get to the roof. Catalina followed pursuit and dug her fingernails into the hood of the car.
"Holy shit that's amazing." Catalina whispered to herself like an overexcited comic fan. The car continued to speed down the street after the dark SUV. Both Catalina and T'Challa waited for the perfect moment to jump from the top of the car onto the SUV Klaue was in, all the while Klaue's bodyguard began to relentlessly shoot bullets at the two vigilantes.
"Get behind me!" T'Challa barked, and Catalina did so, as to not get shot.
T'Challa took the bullets like it was nothing. Each piece of metal bounced off of his suit like someone was throwing quarters at him. "You're taking bullets, charging your suit with kinetic energy!" Shuri warned through her intercom.
"Pull around the truck!" T'Challa told her, and she did so effortlessly.
"Ready, Cata?" T'Challa inquired, receiving a quick nod from her. Then, the two leaped onto Klaue's car, flipping it and landing perfectly on their feet behind it. T'Challa hurried over to the car, where Klaue was crawling out of the totaled car. T'Challa flicked out his claws, ready to use them to end Klaue. "Klaue! Did you think we would forget?" T'Challa shouted at him.
Klaue warily raised his armed prosthetic and lazily shot at T'Challa, only charging his suit up more. Catalina looked around and noticed they were in a very public flea market in Seoul. T'Challa continued to stalk toward Klaue, and when he reached him— he hacked off his prosthetic with his claws. "Look at me murderer! Where did you get this weapon?" T'Challa hissed.
"T'Challa.." Catalina called out to gain his attention as people began to gather around and video him. T'Challa ignored her and grabbed Klaue by the throat.
"T'Challa! Stop!" Catalina screamed at him, finally gaining his attention. She gestured toward the bystanders-turned-paparazzi. T'Challa huffed and gave in.

Eventually, Okeye and Nakia with some white CIA agent showed up to take them back to the United States at a interrogating office to hold Klaue. Catalina was introduced to Okeye and Nakia, and the three were sitting in the office, bored out of their minds. "So this is a big mess, huh? I figured we could go good cop bad cop." Detective Ross, the white CIA agent, mentioned.
"We cannot let him talk to Klaue alone." Okeye spoke in isiXhosa, a language Catalina understood but didn't speak due to her pirate days.
"I prefer to let him talk to Klaue alone for five minutes than to make a fuss here. After your questioning we will take him back to Wakanda with us." T'Challa smirked, entertained with the look of confusion on Ross' face.
"What? No. Look, I like you a lot. But he's in my custody now. He's not going anywhere. Listen, I'm doing you guys a favor by letting you even be in here." Ross pushed T'Challa's shoulder, causing Okeye to stiffen and eye him down.
"Oooooo, you just hit royalty." Catalina instigated.
"If he touches you again, I'll shove him through that desk." Okeye threatened in her language.
"Does she speak English?" Ross was still lost.
"When she wants to." Okeye spat.
"Huh," Ross was silent for a brief moment, "I'm going in. And when I'm done you guys are up." Ross instructed.
"Agent Ross." T'Challa called.
"Yeah?"
"I do appreciate you help in Busan." T'Challa smiled falsely to the man.
Ross looked over at Okeye. "You see that? It's called diplomacy." Ross rolled his eyes with an attitude and entered the interrogation room.
"Okeye... play nice." T'Challa chuckled.
"Ah. Americans." Okeye waved him off.
As Ross interrogated Klaue, Klaue told all about Wakanda. Stating that they had vibranium, all kinds of technology and etc. All things Cata figured out based on T'Challa's suit. After the interrogation, Ross had a hell of a lot of questions. Before he could even get any answers, some people broke into the interrogation room and helped Klaue escape. T'Challa tried to run after them, but he was knocked down with a vibranium weapon, like one of his own.
Ross ended up getting shot in the spine. "Give me a Kimoyo bead. He's not going to make it here." T'Challa instructed as soon as he got back inside to assess the situation.
Nakia handed the bead over. "This will stabilize him for now." T'Challa spoke as he pressed the bead into his back. Ross' pain completely went away.
"We can save him back in Wakanda." Nakia proposed. T'Challa nodded in agreement.
"You're coming, Cata. I'll show you and answer all of your questions. You've impressed me." T'Challa spoke nonchalantly as he began to pick up Ross.
"Really?!" Catalina perked up, feeling confident in her ability.
"No. But you're coming anyway." T'Challa answered blatantly as he chuckled. Catalina groaned and rolled her eyes.
