"T. T. T. T. Babe." My eyes shoot open, glaring at Erik before rubbing my eyes.
"Dont. Call. Me. Babe." I roll my eyes. I look outside to see what was going on. The place looked dry, with a couple of horses here and there, and a few huts. We were approaching a huge forest.
"Hmm." Erik looks at me, grinning evilly. I see him flying above the forest, suddenly going down.
"WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO PLAY GAMES, E!" He still descends into the leaves, and I cover my head and close my eyes.
"I'd keep my eyes open if I were you, babe." When he says babe, my eyes fly open, and as I watch the plane dive into the trees I scream, and the scream disappears as I see we're now in some type of Utopian universe.
"Did we die? Is this what heaven looks like?" He chuckles.
"Not heaven, but you're not far off." The marking on my lip pulses rapidly, confirming my earlier suspicions.
"Welcome to Wakanda, babe."
"DON'T CALL ME BABE!"

Erik jumps out of the plane, opening my door for me, and then moves to the back and grabs a bag.
"What's in the bag? Your makeup products?" I joke, and he drags the bag on the ground.
"Ha Ha Ha." He laughs sarcastically, walking confidently in front of me.
"Where exactly are we going?"
"You are going to the palace because that prince guy trusts you, and I... will find you somehow."
"Tough. I'm not going anywhere you're not." I cross my arms, walking through the city.
"Tough. You're gonna have to." He replies, mocking me. I groan.
"But I don't even look good." Erik's eyes roam over my body, that is STILL in the amazing black dress.
"You'd look better without the dress." He winks, and I push him.
"Bye Felicia." I walk away from him, asking a native for the closest way to get to the palace. I look at Erik whilst I'm talking, only to realize he's smiling at me.
"Is that your husband?" The native asks, catching me staring.
"He should be." I respond, smiling sadly, before shaking my head and walking away from Erik.

"T'CHALLA! YOUR WCW IS HERE!" A girl with braids says, smiling at me.
"What is this 'WCW' you are talking about?" He says, coming down a corner, smiling when he notices it's me.
"Tazi." He breathes out, coming in for a hug. I hug him back, laughing.
"What happened to you?" He asks. I shrug.
"I ran away from those evil people, and I knew I had to come here." He looks at my veins.
"They aren't blue anymore." He frowns. I, once again think of Tamika's alive body making out with MY Erik, and I can see the delight on his face when the blue returns to my veins.
"They injected it into my heart, so I guess it has something to do with my emotions." I say while we walk down a long hallway. I am taken to a large room.
"You can refresh yourself here, and I think Shuri will make something new for you to wear." He says, leaning against the door. "And if you need anything, just give me a call."
"How?" I ask. He points at his brace-kimoyo beads, and I roll my eyes.
"How technologically advanced could you possibly get?" He laughs before shutting the door behind him.
I fall back on the bed, sighing.
I hope to God-I know they say Bast here, so-I hope to Bast that Erik is okay...

After freshening up, Shuri sends me down to her lab, and I gotta admit, I'm hella jealous. We're inside a mountain that glows with blue, which I'm guessing is vibranium, and African music is blasted from every direction.
"Welcome to the lab! Everything comes from here, from our tech, to our clothes designs, and my brother's annoying suits." I laugh at the last bit.
"I designed for you, what I like to call, the 'pop up wardrobe'. You can try it out if you'd like." She hands me some type of button thing, and directs me to a clothes rack. I place the button on the clothes rack and clothes automatically appear.
"Every time an outfit is removed, it will be replaced with a new one." I gape, leaving my mouth open as I look around the lab.
I find Agent Ross lying on a... thing, groaning as he sat up, touching his spine. Shuri was sitting on a table not so far away, and when Ross walks towards her she jumps.
"Don't scare me like that colonizer!" I chuckle. Hehe. Colonizer.
"Is this... Wakanda?" Ross asks, looking around.
"No it's Kansas." Shuri rolls her eyes and the woman with the brown curls-Nakia, comes in.
"There's something going on at the palace. A stranger claiming to have killed Klaue." Shuri gasps.
"Come with me, Tazi. And change your clothes, you look ridiculous." I frown, looking at the baggy pants I found in the Kings room.
"I was TRYING to make a fashion statement!" I groan and pick my 'pop up wardrobe' button.

After washing my hair, changing into a romper with African print on it, and redoing my makeup, I walk to T'Challa's room, knocking on the door. He opens the door with only a towel strapped to his waist, and water dripping down. He obviously wasn't expecting me.
"Oh, I um, I'm sorry for coming at the wrong time-" he chuckles before opening the door and letting me in. I can't help looking at his back muscles as I enter.
Stop it, T. Snap. Out. Of. It.
"So, how are you liking it here so far?" He asks, going into his bathroom.
"I feel like I'm getting much more than I deserve, I mean, I only came here because apparently my daddy is here, and now I'm in the palace." I marvel, looking outside the window. Flying vehicles were everywhere, there was distant chatter coming from every direction, and sounds of laughter.
This place made America seem primitive.
"And I would personally show you around, but there's an important meeting about to begin." He says, coming out of the bathroom in a long black man-dress with his hands behind his back.
"Oh." I grin, getting off the bed. "Good to know, because now I'm gonna have something to do." I walk in front of him, skipping.
"But the elders will-" I place a finger on his lips.
"Shh. Too stubborn to listen." He laughs and walks in front of me, leading me to the meeting room.
