chapter twenty four All Things Come to an End
The morning after their first night, Bucky was asked by Steve to meet with him and the King. Ray was left alone in the palace. Without her prosthetic she was left to sit in her room. She didn't even have a book.
But then there was a knock at the door and it was the very Princess with a sleek wheel chair.
"Hello Miss Banner," Shuri smiled at her new found friend as she wheeled the chair into her room. "I am here because I have finished your leg! I think you will like it. I just adore it, but I am biased."
Ray looked at her with an odd expression. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Do you know that I am very smart? I designed you a leg. It's a much needed upgrade and it was quite fun. It was easy, too. Now come on, I want to show you it."
The Princess grabbed Ray's arm and helped her stand on one leg. Then Ray sat on the soft wheelchair and the Princess began to push her.
"The stupid boys are doing boy things. My mother is among them. Can I tell you a secret?" She asked Ray. But she didn't answer. "Politics truly bore me. I prefer to stay in my lab. I wish I could go without sleeping so I could get more work down, and I have thought about inventing something for that annoying problem, but in truth I do love to sleep."
Ray smiled. "Me too."
"How long do you think you'll be here for? My seventeen name day is coming soon and I would love for you to be in attendance. I think I scare away people. When I wish little a boy in my classes thought I talked to much. What do you think?"
Ray looked up at the Princess. "You talk too much."
Shuri laughed. "I love how you just freely say what's on your mind. And I still love the fact that you hit my brother. My mother would kill me. She hates when we fight. I think she forgets what it is like to have siblings."
Shuri pushed her down a ramp and into a huge lab. Ray was at a loss for words. It was quite beautiful, but she felt out of place. She wasn't very smart.
"Alright. Let's get you out of this chair. When I told my colleague I was going to get you did you know what he said to me, why don't you get someone to do it? Ha, as if. We are friends." Shuri pulled her up and helped her sit on the chair. "How old are you?"
"Twenty three."
"Ooh I would love an older friend. One day you need to take me to America. I've wanted to try Starbucks for so long." Then she remembered why Ray was here. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to..."
