This book as old as Justin Bieber😭 what am I really doing with my life
-::-
"Good morning my queen." I sit up to find the bed empty, Erik's side still warm.
"Morning, Ayo. Where is he?"
"Sending the first of the shipments abroad." I jump out of bed, looking down at one of Erik's huge ass bathrobe things I was wearing, exposing my cleavage. I shake my head, muttering curses under my breath.
Nigga I didn't even put on makeup.
"E!" I shout, and he turns to look at me, covering W'Kabi's eyes next to him. He looks at me with those eyes, the ones that say, 'if you don't close up your chest I'll fuck you in public.'
"Morning baby," he kisses my head, before walking around some weird thing. It starts beeping, and he pulls down my lip. It immediately stops.
"Why didn't you wake me up." He sighs, intertwining our fingers, and I use my... powers to push him back. Right now I'm strictly business.
"The machine part is really not that important, baby."
"Well, I want to be 100% involved. So what does it do, where is it going, and how can I convince you to not let it leave Wakanda."
"What?" W'Kabi and Erik turn to look at me like I'm crazy. To be honest I've hated the idea since it left Erik's mouth. Just because we're dating doesn't mean I have to go with EVERYTHING he does.
"With all due respect, my queen-"
"Nah. First off, when someone says that shit, they're about to say something REAL disrespectful. Second, I'm not the fucking queen, and the moment these machines leave the country I'm going to become much. Less." W'Kabi tries to move forward to calm me down, and I raise an eyebrow, my eyes turning blue.
"Baby, you heard what I said in the throne room. You know why I'm doing this."
"I know why, yeah, but I don't have to agree with that shit. Look, I know what your intentions are, but killing world leaders ain't gonna do SHIT. What's gonna happen after they're killed, huh? Riots. Rebellions. War declared on Wakanda, now walk with me here. We will be basically declaring a Third World War. And since Wakanda decided to hand out their weapons to their spies abroad, what's to say about the rest of us that are actually here? We're going to, What, send our fighters and rhinos to get killed in a battle against the world? I don't fucking think so, my King." I mock, looking straight at him. His face is stern and upset, but I see it in his eyes.
Fear.
"Well that won't happen. These machines are programmed to destroy anyone without genuine Wakanda blood. That thing woulda killed you, which is why I pulled out your lip."
"Well I would rather die than watch you fuck up, knowing that I coulda done something."
"There's nothing you can do, I made up my mind."
He sighs and orders another guy to prepare for liftoff.
I walk back inside, grab a shirt and some sweatpants, before moving back outside to hear W'Kabi talking to Erik.
"I cannot believe you stood up to her like that." Erik shrugs, oh hell to the no.
"As her boyfriend, I'm terrified. I would never do that. But as the King, I made one thing clear when I became King and I'm going through with my plans."
"But, you see... I know her father, and when she was born she cried and that alone nearly murdered the doctors. I feel like... if you get her too angry..." I am unable to hear the rest of the conversation.
"KILLMONGER!" I run to the launch pad, and see... no. It can't be. My mind is playing tricks with me.
"Nah. All that challenge shit is over. I'm the King now!" He laughs. This bitch.
"I did not yield!" He walks forward, and I see Erik clenching and unclenching his fists.
"Tazi," he nods at me. The breath leaves my lungs, and I try my best not to cry.
"T'Challa."
"We'll talk later."
"T-" he turns to look at me, and I shake my head, not wiping off the tears escaping from my eyes.
"You're not king, he didn't yield." T'Challa moves forward.
"CHARGE!" W'Kabi yells, and I'm suddenly in the middle of a mess.
"Are you planning to fight? What the fuck are you still doing here?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a specific place for me to be. Nigga do I have to answer to you? We'll talk later. If there is a later," I mutter the last part under my breath. I can tell he heard me tho, the frown on his face says it all.
He turns to Challa with a evil smirk in his face. And as if my eyes are playing tricks on me, he changes into a Jaguar suit similar to T'Challa's.
The golden suit in Shuri's lab.
"Tazi! Get out of there!" Shuru shouts, and I stand still at first, not being blown back when the two clash.
"Made of vibranium." I point at my veins. She rolls her eyes and grabs me still, hugging me.
"Where have you been? And how is he-he-?"
"He wasn't dead. He fell off, and Bast was graceful to him. The waves dragged his body to Jabari turf, and one of their fishermen found him. They've been caring for him since."
"Wow... and here I thought the Jabari were sworn enemies with the rest of Wakandan tribes."
"So did I." She rushes us into her lab, grabbing suits and stuff. Nakia is also there, and she runs to hug me.
"Look, if we have gotten off on the wrong foot before..."
"Now's not the time. Im just glad you guys and T'Challa are okay." She raises an eyebrow at my outfit, and I shrug.
"get out of those ugly clothes before you burn out my eyeballs." Shuri hands me a suit that looks to be multiple shades of blue, when I press it up to my arm, it matches the color of my veins.
"You should be a fashion designer."
"Thanks! CHANGE! Ross is dealing with the weapons, move move move!"
"iight, sheesh." I rush into the bathroom, and tie my hair up, quickly doing my makeup.
I don't know whose side I'm fighting on, but I hope to God that side wins.
Oops. To Bast. I'll never get used to that shit.

WELL LOOK WHO IS REFERENCING THE MOVIE AGAIN? *dap*
OK HERES A QUICK THINGY:
Tazi's powers are tied to her emotions.
So for now we know that;
light blue: means she's happy and won't do any harm,
normal blue: She levitates and can push people back, also gains strength.
dark blue: sad, pushes people away but can not do harm to those she cares for
neon blue: OUTRAGED. will literally destroy anything.
Mixed shades of blue: Well, let's just say you'll find out pretty soon.
I didn't include the scene in which Erik goes down to the sandpit blah blah blah, sees his dad blah blah blah, orders people to burn everything, blah blah blah, but it happened. I just didn't include it because this book is in Tazi's point of view. Anything outside of her viewpoint can't be included oops!
Luh y'all stay sweggy
