A City of Milk and Honey

Value

Sigh. I really don't know what's gonna happen with this chapter so I'm winging it and let's see what happens... trust me I get as surprised as you guys when I reading over my stories and I'm like "omg when did this happen." Anyways enjoy the story. Dont forget to vote and comment.

The next day was really tense. Everyone was ready to jump if Erik moved out of line. It took everything in me not to yell at them. This morning the queen opted not to have breakfast with us and instead stayed in her room. I thought that she was being over dramatic and if her own son had tried to kill someone during the challenge she would be happy. But let's face it T'Challa has more morals than a hungry shark. 

As we walked through Wakanda with one of the Dora Milaje, everyone whispered. If it wasn't about Erik's random return or the daughter of the previous general being at his side, it was about what T'Challa was thinking to let us come to Wakanda. "Erik do you really want to take a walk or do you want to show off to the people that you have returned?" I question him. He smirks and the gold plates that he returned to his bottom teeth shone in his mouth. "I just want to re-familiarize myself with Wakanda. Plus if I am to stay here I want to know everything I didn't get to know last time." He said as he turned down another road. This one filled with all types of food stalls. The smell of roast lamb and beef hit my nose and my mouth salivated. Bast knows I love food and finding this street was going to be the best God sent ever.

Sensing my need for food Erik chuckled to himself and we walked to a couple of stands sampling everything. The people were afraid of Erik who stood behind me, but I reassured them that if he stepped a toe out of line I would kick his ass.

Halfway through our little trip, another of the Dora Milaje came over and told us that the king was looking for Erik. We walked back to the palace, Erik with his arm around my shoulder and the Dora Milaje flanking us as we entered into the courtyard where T'Challa waited for us.
"Cousin it is time for our first meeting." T'Challa said with his hands behind his back and there at his side was a pregnant Nakia. My mouth was on the floor for a bit before Erik closed it for me. "You mean to tell me that I spent fifteen years away from Wakanda to come back to my sister getting married to M'Baku and now Nakia is pregnant? What am I gonna find out next, Queen mother has a boyfriend?" I snort softly as I look at T'Challa's face and realize that I had hit the nail on the head. "You have got to be kidding me." I say face palming. "Can we please discuss this later. I'm tired, my feet hurts and I am craving for Jollof rice with curried crab legs." Nakia says agitated. T'Challa nodded and rubbed her back before turning back to us. "Follow us." He said walking in the direction that him and Erik walked the other night. 

When we get to a rock wall I look around for the entrance and see none. "Erik, place you hand on the center of the wall." T'Challa says and moves away from the door. Erik lets go of me and he walks to the door doing as T'Challa said. The wall is soon covered in a vibranium coat and the doors open. I stare in wonder at everything and realize how much I missed home. 

I look at everyone in the room and realize that this was not the regular council. In the room sat all the avengers, from Captain America to Spiderman. I was so used to seeing these guys on the news that it felt like a dream seeing them in real life. I held tightly to Erik's hand as we followed T'Challa to our seats. "So... um why am I here again?" Erik started as he pulled me into his lap to which I tried to get up but he held me down tightly. "Last time I checked I didn't have no abnormal superpowers or even the right credentials to be considered a hero." He continued as we looked at the faces in the room. It was quiet for a bit before Tony Stark answered. "We know how skilled an operative you are and if you wanted to you could go toe to toe with agent Romanov." He said as he pointed to the blonde sitting next to this nerd looking man. (I already seen the trailers for infinity war.... shit is gonna be lit af).
