|| Chapter Forty - Three ||

Arizona was on the quinjet that had Okoye piloting and Cat was looking around in awe, her pressing a button and a black sand-like substance created a bunch of vans going forward, Cat watched as if she was a child and watching cartoons, Arizona was excited, everything about her screamed excitement and she couldn't wait to see how Bucky was doing and if he was okay. The ride was fast and Arizona shook her best friend frantically, "I'm gonna see Bucky!" She cheered, Cat laughing and made Arizona stop shaking her, the pair watching as the ramp lowered and standing there was T'Challa, him smiling with his hands behind his back, Arizona smiled, walking down the ramp with a bounce in her step, Cat laughing as she watched her best friend walk up to T'Challa, hands behind her back also, "Kitty Cat," She greeted.

T'Challa grinned, looking down at her, "Devil,"

She exaggeratedly gasped, "I'm offended," She then took a step back, wrapping an arm around Cat's shoulder, "This is my imaginary friend, Cat," She then gestured to him, "This is King T'Challa, but I kicked his ass,"

Cat looked impressed, "Isn't that treason?"

"I think so," Arizona replied.

T'Challa chuckled, "It's good to see you," They were interrupted by a bundle of hyperactive-ness appeared, said girl jumping and rolling around the ground before jumping onto T'Challa's back, him immediately grasping her as her best friend shook her head, trailing behind.

"Baby cousin, who might these foetuses be?" The woman tilted her head to the side.

She had smooth, ebony skin, plump lips and bright green eyes - almost resembling Arizona's colour. Her dark brown hair reached just below her shoulders with her afro-styled hair wild amongst her head, her most distinctive feature being her eyes most definitely as she looked at the two teenagers with a wide smile, T'Challa smiled, "They would be Bucky's best friend," He gestured to Arizona, "And another best friend," Gesturing to Cat.

The woman gasped exaggeratedly, inhaling deeper as she jumped down and didn't stop inhaling until she stood in front of Arizona, "You are the Phoenix that has my Bucky's heart!" She exclaimed, "I thought you were a woman! Even though he did say you were a kid, I thought he was kidding," She then gestured to Arizona as a whole, "But, he wasn't, oh! This is fantastic!"

"Calm down, Kit, you're going to give yourself a heart attack," The second woman said, standing beside T'Challa. This woman was also beautiful with her dark, brown eyes and lightly tanned skin looking as though she was kissed by the sun. She had full lips and her dark brown locks curled down just below her breasts, her most distinctive features being her baby face, said woman then held her hand out, "I'm Isabella but just call me Izzy, and this is Nikitah but everyone calls her Kit,"

Arizona slowly shook her hand, "Arizona, this is Cat,"

Nikitah nodded, pointing at Arizona, "So, country," And pointed to Cat, "And animal," Nikitah nodded, looking at Okoye, "I want to meet the creators of these two beings and talk to them about their choice in names,"

Arizona chuckled before the doors behind them opened, her eyes sparkling as she saw Bucky exit with Shuri, Nikitah smiled widely at Bucky and before anyone could do or say anything, Arizona sprinted toward him; Bucky let out a small laugh before they engulfed each other into a hug, her grip tightening as she was afraid to let go, "You're okay..."

He nodded, leaning down and pecking the crown of her head, "I've missed you too, Nixie,"

"I missed you more," She retorted, grinning up at him and Bucky chuckled as the parted, "How are you feeling?" Arizona questioned, her tone gentle and concerned in the hopes that he was better than before.
