Actually getting in car became a bigger issue than it had to be. Peter had got too excited and before Nemo could call him back, he had left the taller boy alone in his wheel hair and yanked the passenger door open. Shuri couldn't warn the girl sat in the front of the car, so the frightened girl had lashed out with her phone. Peter's reactions, however, where fast enough to catch it but the phone did end up smacking the girl back in the face.
Nemo laughed while he watched the scene unfold, he carried on smiling to himself while Peter and Shuri introduced themselves to one another while shaking hands over the groaning girl beneath them. However he stopped once he saw how much the unknown girl's lip had swollen, he had seen enough of Toddy's football injuries to know it must hurt a lot.

Finally with everyone in the car, atleast, alive. They began their drive to a Wakandan safe house where Shuri and the bust lip girl were temporarily staying while they completed a mission.
The flat was modest but spacey, vegetation and green covered almost every spare surface and all manner of exotic birds watched the newcomers from their perches.
Peter gave Shuri a confused look as he nodded towards the birds.
"The whole flat is a self sufficient eco-system, it's regulated by an A.I. that I calibrated and programmed. The sounds make me feel more at home and the humidity is good for my work ethic."
"Speak for yourself Shuri, I'm sweating myself to dehydration here!" The yet to be named girl complained from her position crouched in front of a 50's style fridge. She grabbed a bag of frozen peas and held it to her lip, she cringed slightly as it made contact with the tender wound.
She reached her free hand out to Nemo, Peter had long since left him to marvel at Shuri's advanced tech.
"Hey, I'm Daisy Horton."
Nemo shook her hand, only just realising her slight Britsh accent.
"Nemo Lemmings, you're from the UK?"
"Yeah, I'm originally from West London although my accent's fading abit." Daisy replied, looking almost upset by that fact.
Before Nemo could continue the conversation, Shuri called them over towards her and Peter. Daisy went to stand by Shuri's side and Nemo tried not to notice when he saw close they stood.
Shuri cleared her throat as if giving a speech to her people.
"We brought you two here today because we need your help with a mission and my brother, the king of Wakanda, thinks you'll benefit from it also."
"Why so secretive, why bring us to a safe house when your brother was the one who told you to get our help?" Nemo asked, not yet trusting of Shuri.
