Marvel Fanfiction: "B" Team

Chapter 1:

The story begins on Wakanda. The Avengers are getting ready to take off on a mission and most of the team has already gotten on to the ship. Tony and T'Challa are the only ones still left on the landing pad as they talk to Peter and Shuri, respectively.

Tony: "No, you're staying here kid"

Peter (Parker): "Please mister Stark I can help!"

Tony: "No, it's too dangerous. Besides, you've got a mission making sure this freak show doesn't screw anything up for us"

Tony was talking about Loki who was currently standing off to the side of the landing pad, Doctor Stange by his side. Loki's hands were cuffed and he still had the metal gag the Avengers had given him after the attack on New York so he couldn't speak. Even so, Loki looked smug when Tony and Peter turned to look at him, quite aware they were talking about him. His eyes twinkled with mischief and he gave a little wave with his handcuffed hands.

"That guy still creeps me out," Tony said turning away from Loki and returning to piecing on his suit. "Just make sure Frosty here doesn't get in the way of anything and don't do anything I wouldn't do. And don't do anything I would do. Ok, kid?"

Peter: "But Mister Stark -"

Somebody called Tony's name from the ship, it sounded like Thor.

Tony: "Sorry Kid, gotta go"

Tony had finished putting on his suit and on his last word his mask closed around him and he shot off to join the departing ship. Peter was left standing alone on the landing pad and soon sulked off to join the others downstairs. Meanwhile, Shuri was getting a similar talk from her brother.

T'Challa: "Keep Wakanda safe while I'm gone, sister"

Shuri: "I'm sure I could keep it safer if I could just come with you brother. Please don't make me babysit, I can help!"

T'Challa: "Wakanda needs you here sister. Besides, the fight would be over too quickly if we brought you in" he winked.

Shuri: "Damn right it would. I'll keep Wakanda safe, you have my word brother. Wakanda forever."

T'Challa: "Wakanda forever."

With that, Shuri gave T'challa a quick hug and watched as the Black Panther made his way to the ship. After seeing them off, Shuri went to her lab, hoping to distract herself from the rejection she felt in not being asked to go on the mission.

As the ship disappeared into the sky, Peter ran over to catch up with Shuri. Everybody that was left was making their way downstairs. Rocket, Groot, and Mantis were walking with Nebula who had a similar handcuff situation as Loki. Rocket had volunteered to stay on Wakanda and watch Nebula and Groot, eager to stay out of the way of the heinous villain Quill had told them about. Doctor Strange pulled Loki along and walked him to the glass cell they had for him downstairs. Strange had decided to stay to protect the time stone and restrain Loki. Shuri showed them the way to a large living room area where they could all sit, then disappeared to her lab. The room looked similar to Stark Tower and had more than enough room for the team to sit. The living room area even had two glass cells where Doctor Strange deposited Loki and Rocket deposited Nebula. Rocket, Mantis, and Ant-Man, found themselves a spot on the couch. Groot had already found a seat on the ground, oblivious to the world as hammered away at his video game. Peter, not ready to sit still yet, followed Shuri into her lab. He had a feeling she knew something he didn't.

Peter pulled on his mask and quietly crawled up the wall and onto the ceiling of the lab, hoping to sneak up on Shuri and see what she was working on. Shuri had her back to the door and was working on something on her computer. Without looking up Shuri said with a small smirk, "Something I can help you with Spider-boy?"
