"TAZI, WAIT!"
It was all a blur.
One second, I was walking out with Shuri and Nakia, feeling all fly in my new outfit, and the next...
The next second snapped the moment I saw Erik strangling one of the Dora's.
I felt this... pulse coursing through my veins, filling me up like oxygen, and the moment I felt completely full, I felt nothing.
Weightless, as I glided through the other Dora's, pushing past them like they were never there.
Timeless, as everything slowed down around me, except for myself.
Painless, as I stepped through a small fire and didn't get burnt at all.
And for sure heartless, as I stared at Erik, the man I love and would do anything for, and waited for something to happen.
Anything.
...Nothing.
"Let me get this straight." I sit down on the ground, criss cross applesauce, with all the calamity around me, and look at the electricity rippling around me.
"You want to be King. I get it. I understand it. And I respect your moxie. But you lost ALL that shit when you put your hands on her."
The Dora looks at me, and I wish I could smile. I do, but everyone seemed to be looking at me in fear. I felt perfectly fine, I did! I literally felt nothing. Even the warriors and the Jabari men turned to look at me, before signaled by T'Challa to step back.
"And before you even try to talk," I whisper, lifting myself off the ground.
"Baby, if you're going to touch anyone like that, might as well be me." I stand still, waiting for Erik to move forward. I can see it in his eyes. I can see how scared he is. How confused. How... terrified.
And I can see my body, surrounded by a blue haze, rapidly changing colors, and I looked...
Unreal.
"I mean I get why you're hesitant to choke me, I could and would kill you in seconds, I don't know what's stopping me either, but for touching another female like that? You should be absolutely terrified." He gulps, and I shake my head. Everyone's weapons turn into nothing, and I feel this blue... energy wrapped around me like a blanket.
"Her body, it's... absorbing the vibranium." W'Kabi says, and T'Challa frowns.
"It can't be."
"KILLMONGER YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE!" Okoye shouts, and I turn to look at her. She becomes deathly silent. The scariest Dora Milaje, and I shut her up with one look.
"She won't hurt me." He sighs, and refuses to touch me, but I can see how much he wants to.
"Come on, strangle me! I'm not standing here for nothing." As I move my hand, a dome surrounds us.
Weightless. Timeless. Painless. Heartless. Nothingness.
"I'm not going to touch you."
