The Many Adventures of the Avengers and Friends

💙 Infinity War (Part 2)

Quinjet. Outside Wakanda

"Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0." Steve said, leaning out to peer through the window.

"I hope you're right about this, Cap. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to." Sam said, directing the jet to a cliffside with a patch of trees... That dissolved once they passed through, the city of Wakanda in view. They flew past buildings, searching for a landing pad. Once they found one, they landed, the jet opening. The King of Wakanda met the group, flanked by his female guard.

"Should we bow?" Bruce asked, adjusting his jacket.

"Yeah, he's a king." Pietro replied. Cap walked up and shook hands with T'Challa.

"Seems like I'm always thanking you for something." he said. Bruce cleared his throat and awkwardly bowed.

"What are you doing?" Carson asked him.

"Uh, we don't do that here." T'Challa said, holding up his hands. Bruce gave Rhodey a look. "So how big of an assault can we expect?" Bruce shuffled forward.

"Uh, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault." Bruce said as they walked to the administrative building.

"How we looking?" Nat asked.

"You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..." T'Challa started, being cut off as Bucky walked to the group.

"A semi-stable, 100-year-old man." he said, hugging Steve, then Carson with affection, pressing his face into the latter of the two's lilac hair, kissing it softly.

"How you been, Buck?" Steve asked.

"Uh, not bad, for the end of the world." he replied. They made their way to Shuri's lab to get an assessment on Vision. The girl scanned him.

"Whoa. The structure is polymorphic." she said in awe. Bruce looked at her with his glasses on.

"Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially." he said.

"Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?" Shuri said, Vision looking at Bruce in questioning.

"Because, we didn't think of it." Bruce replied, uncertainly.

"I'm sure you did your best." Shuri replied.

"Can you do it?" Wanda asked.

"Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures." Shuri turned to her brother. "It will take time, brother."

"How long?" Pietro asked.

"As long as you can give me." Shuri said, turning to prep her work. Okoye's bracelet let out an alarm.

"Something's entered the atmosphere." she said tentatively. A loud bang was heard as something hit the dome protecting the country.

"Hey, Cap, we got a situation here." Sam's voice said from the comms.

"Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome." Rhodey said, geared up in his armor. Vision began to sit up.

"It's too late. We need to destroy the stone now." he said.

"Vision, get your ass back on the table." Nat snapped at him.

"We will hold them off." T'Challa said.

"Wanda, as soon as the stone is out of his head... you blow it to hell." Carson told the girl. Wanda nodded.

"Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures." T'challa said, then pointed to Cap. "And get this man a shield."
