The Birth Of A New Stark

Chapter Eighteen

T'challa P.O.V

T'challa could say he was anything even sometimes he could be oblivious but he was not an idiot he could tell there ware thing stark wasn't telling him and he could tell something was not right he just didn't know what it was and for some reason it was bothering him “I take it the public has not been informed of your retirement” t'challa ask watching stark for any tail sign that anything was wrong was not as easy as he expected other than the overly bigger sized clothing t'challa couldn't really see anything wrong but he just knew there was it was like a feeling in his gut.

“No, Not yet i still have a few things i have to settle before i announce my retirement but that's not what i wanted to discuss as i said i want to put a few changes in the accords due to bad parties being involved in the accord signing as well as you should know there will be some exposure going to happen in the days to come and i want you to be aware of it so it wouldn't catch you unaware seeing as your father, my condolences for your loss, was a big contributor to the accords and also the one who helped push it forward due to what had happened in Lagos, hoping i have your support in the changes i wanted to make for a good purpose i sure you” Stark says going completely down to business showing T'challa the ruthless businessman that had ran stark industries with an iron fist before potts had taken it over at starks say, it was impressive.

Mulling over starks words, it was quite a lot to go on “ I take it you won't be telling me of which party you plan on exposing” T'challa asks.

“It would be best if i didn't plausible deniability and such,” Stark stated giving T'challa a half smile before continuing “Can't exactly have the masses wonder if it was some political movement on Wakanda's part now would we,”.

Having that been said T'challa thought it would be best if they moved on with the discussion at hand“ what do you have in mind for the accord what is it that you want to change”

“I do understand that the Avengers or any other Enchanted individuals operations such as the Avengers, Earth defenders, X men, and Shield needs supervision the people are entrusting their lives in our hands and that is a trust we cannot lose but Giving even the United Nation that much power of deployment whenever and wherever they deemed fit its just too much I'm not saying their all not to be trusted I'm just saying there will be times where power like that could go to a person's head and they will abuse it and innocents will get hurt” Stark explained T'challa could see where stark was coming from he knew there are many unsavory characters within the Government that liked to hide in the back and also play with the higher powers strings to get what they want.

“The Accord that is now in place if you go through it you will see too many it's a jail sentence a way to back one in a corner to force one to do as the other says like you tell a doctor if he doesn't sign the agreement he can't save lives or a firefighter if he doesn't sign the agreement he can't put out fires in all scenarios people will die and then the people who lost the ones they love will blame the ones who couldn't do their jobs because they were told not too”

“then what do you expect us to do Mr. Stark” T'challa ask what stark had explained had made a lot of sense and he could see that many Enchanted individuals would feel trapped in that circumstances rebelling would have been a natural outcome of the situation but somehow he felt that's how they wanted it and that didn't sit well with T'challa.

“Give them leeway allow them to do what they were meant to do save lives protect their country but also put restrictions and if they crossed the line set  repercussions but also be understanding that there will be mistakes by accident then set punishments and if intentional set heavy consequence, it doesn't have to be Crime to be made special or be born that way” stark said ending with a sigh as if it was a load off his chest.

“Going at it that way it does seem to be a better option but you do need to understand not all would see it that way but so far, Mr. Stark, you have my support it would be a benefit to be at good odds with the Enchanted individuals as for the pardons Mr. Stark,” T'challa said as he leaned back “It would be a while before we could gain the pardons for the Avengers but changing the accords and gaining approval from the masses will guide us towards right path”

“I understand your highness vision is still part of the Avengers and will be there after my absence so is Colonel Rhodes and we can work out the details as we go but if you will there is another opportunity i wanted to discuss...” Stark cut off as a pained expression crossed his face as he grips the chair handle as a breathy gasp left him.

Frowning“Mr. Stark are you all right,” T'challa asks.
                               
                                   ~~{&}~~
Tony couldn't believe it it was going so smoothly he had the kings support and he could understand the pardons was going to take some time all that he could understand and he was grateful only know he could only hope he could get the kings to support in his little project “I understand your highness vision is still part of the Avengers and will be there after my absence so is Colonel Rhodes and we can work out the details as we go but if you will there is another opportunity i wanted to discuss...”

A stabbing pain rocketed through his stomach while he felt the very first movement his baby girl made as she kicked him in the ribs he wanted to cup his stomach but he knew it would have given it away somehow so he gripped the chair arm as a breath gasp left him when he felt the movement again.

“Mr. Stark are you all right” T'challa ask him suddenly it all came to him he just had his very first kick here in Wakanda where the Avengers were, Where Steve is.

“Tony” Rhodey called out as he touched his shoulder and arm grounding him giving him something to focus on again.

Shaking his head getting rid of the fog that had started to move in his head “Yes I'm fine, sorry about that i am fine” Tony said as he stood only to stop short as he started to sway, Rhodey stood with a rush grabbing tony helping him get steady.

“Maybe it's best if we finish this conversation another time,” Rhodey said gripping tony as he still sways some more before he steady again.

Nodding the king walked around the table towards tony“ Are you sure you're all right Mr. Stark we can always have a look to see if you are alright” T'challa offers.

Waving his hand in dismissal he couldn't allow T'challa's help knowing one test could show them what exactly was wrong he didnt wants to have to explain what had happened and having Rogers finding out about is not an option “yes I'm fine oldness can do this kind of things” tony lie hoping it would work he didnt really have any good excuses.

Hearing the lie in his word T'challa frowned but let it go he knew if stark didnt want to tell him he won't be able to get it out of him“ alright let me show you off”

                                ~~{&}~~

Watching as Tony Stark and his companion leave T'challa turned to Okoye “Did you see that” T'challa asks his general.

She nodded before she said “there is something very wrong with him” she pauses before she continues “He is sick”

He could also just nod in agreement.
