Surprisingly the next morning I don't wake up on my own.

Instead I'm woken up by loud shuffling all around me and Erik putting on his shirt. He's facing away from me and I take the time to admire his body, even with all of the scars he's still beautiful. It's like the scars enhance everything. Damn he's sexy.

"Oh, you're up," Is all he says after turning around and noticing me. "Good morning to you too honey," I say with a smirk on my face. I jump at the sound of a loud crash outside of our door and turn to Erik. "Um what's going on?" I ask him as he finishes getting dressed. "They're getting ready,"

I look at him confused and ask, "Getting ready for-" Until I stop myself. I know what they're getting ready for. "So you're really going through with this?" I ask Erik as I get out of the bed. Instead of answering me he just walks over to me and kisses me.

Okay that was weird. Erik is never soft like that.

Just as I begin to think about how weird all of this is, Asha walks into the bedroom. Without knocking. I can see that Erik is pissed off that she didn't knock but he doesn't say anything which throws me off even more. Is the world about to end or something?

"Come on Zahria, you need to get ready," Asha says to me and ushers me into the bathroom. "Just get dressed," She says pushing some clothes into me and turning around so I could change. I see that unlike yesterday, today she brought me some workout clothes? Well I wouldn't call them workout clothes, more like bum clothes. It was just some leggings and a t-shirt.

As we exit the bathroom Erik is surprisingly waiting on the bed. Without saying anything Erik gets up and walks out of the room and immediately Asha pulls my hand and follows quickly behind him. Asha drags me along as we pass by a bunch of people in the house. We all finally stop at an elevator before going inside and arriving on the roof. The elevator is filled with nothing but silence and I quickly get uncomfortable.

I turn to Asha, "So you're stuck with me again today?" I ask her playfully and she laughs saying "I wouldn't say that," Before our conversation can continue the elevator stops on the top floor and opens out unto the roof.

What the hell do they have me out here doing? I know I wanted to be an involved queen but I didn't think I was gonna be the one actually FIGHTING and shit.

The three of us exit the building and watch in awe as planes fly over us. As I'm mesmerized by the planes I don't notice the man joining us, well more like Erik. The man and Erik begin to talk and I notice it's the same one we talked to when we first entered Wakanda, W'Kabi I think?

"So the spies are ready?" I hear Erik ask the W'Kabi. W'Kabi nods and I watch as Okoye hands Erik a spear. Well it looks like a spear but since I've gotten here I've learned that nothing's ever what it seems when it comes to Wakanda stuff. But still haven't these people learned that handing Erik a spear isn't a good idea. I mean last time he had one he killed their king but that's none of my business.

Erik stupidly begins throwing the spear up and smirks, "A handheld death cannon, and to think...we have thousands of these,"

I start to get nervous watching Erik. He looks so excited to use it. Are his intentions still pure?

My worrying thoughts are brought to a halt with a crashing plane before me. Everyone slowly watches as the plane falls to its death and before I can really grasp what's happening Asha jumps in front of me, taking my body to the ground.

For a second everything is silent except for the burning rubble and then it's like a volcano erupted. A loud boom brings ringing to my ears and I watch as debris comes flying everywhere. I realize why Asha brought me to the ground, she knew it would explode.
