T'challa and Tony climbed out the car sighing,they were finally free from the 'children' in the car, before Shuri banged on the window saying that locks were on in the back which gave T'challa a fright. Tony had already started sauntering onwards towards the door of the hall, it seemed that everyone was there already. Great it means that he was late, he squinted his eyes trying to figure out who was standing,crossed arms and sassy expression before releasing that it was Rogers. Tony froze, he hadn't forgiven Rogers and to be honest he doesn't know if he ever will. Tony decided that he would wait for T'challa who was busy unlocking the door. The awkwardness could come later Tony thought,scratching his chin and began walking again, with T'challa who had caught up with Tony.
"Those two will be the death of me one day" T'challa muttered to an amused Tony who only replied with a snort. Tony didn't realise that he was standing in-front of Capsicle and slightly jumped when he heard the familiar voice say "T'challa your highness it's nice to see you again" after shaking his hand formally.
"You too Tony" Steve said hinting a little bit of sarcasm that Tony only seemed to notice. "Yeah you too Elsa" muttered Tony loud enough for T'challa and Steve to hear, Steve was quite confused but T'challa had a small smile on his face.
"Right cut the crap, why are you guys late?" Natasha asked with her hands on hips but her face and tone was impassive. The three men leapt a foot in the air and spun around ready to fight before realising who it was and backed down with embarrassment flushed on there faces.
"Well we have 'cough' children 'cough' with us so the ride here was to say eventful." Tony said pointing at the car and deliberate changing the conversation.
"Shuri the doors are unlocked now" Peter said after pushing the recently unlocked door handle forward, nearly tumbling out the car which he got a loud guffaw from Shuri. Shuri opened her car door and when she saw who her brother was talking to she narrowed her eyes. She had forgiven everyone of course, but it still didn't make her like them any more since the Germany fight. Captain America was the one she disliked the most and it didn't help that he had nearly killed Tony Stark, Like she didn't care back then about it but now knowing how much Peter admires Tony made her sick at the thought,If he died because of Assmerica. Peter got out the car more than less graceful than Shuri had but he made it out the car. The first thing Peter noticed was that Shuri was clenching her fists, she also had narrowed her eyes and her lip was thinning. Peter was cautious and looked at who she was furious about and,oh, Captain America. Of course. Peter saw how angry she had gotten when he told her about the German fight.
"HE THREW A PLANE AT YOU?!"Shuri had whisper shouted in the car so that Tony and T'challa couldn't hear her over their boring business talks, "No! He threw something THAT LOOKED LIKR A PLANE not an actual plane!" Peter had whisper shouted back. "THATS NOT BETTER! YOUR A SMOL LITTLE BEAN!" Shuri said again but her face turned red and Peter raised an eyebrow before laughing and saying his thanks.
Shuri remember being so shocked at how he managed to put up a fight against captain Assmerica at the age of fourteen and untrained. She also remembers being hella confused when he mentioned Bucky, or as Peter calls him 'Metal Arm Dude'.
"Hey Shuri do you know that metal arm dude and the carbon fibre guy?" Peter had asked curiously, interrupting Shuri's many stories about Bucky who had a metal arm."Yeah I know them and I also made a vibranium arm for Bucky back at home, Oh, and I'm pretty sure he's stronger than Assmerica." Shuri said casually,smirking slightly at Peters gawking mouth. "Do you have proof?" Peter asked intrigued, about how someone could be stronger than 'perfect patronising america'. "Well no I don't but y'know I just seem to think/know that he is" Shuri replied shrugging before asking him a question "Were you involved in the fight? The Germany fight?". Peter took his time to answer the question. "yeah,yeah I was...I was probably the weakest but I managed to web up two of the team cap people-" Shuri butted in on his answer to the question with another question. "Nah you weren't the weakest I bet! Who did you take down?" Shuri was all ears for the story. "Well I'll tell you if you don't keep stopping my sentences every minute" Peter muttered before saying anything about her question. "Anyways, I took down the carbon Pidgeon guy and metal arm dude after I stood my ground against captain America but of course he won." Shuri loudly snorted and T'challa glanced back at her raising an eyebrow. "Yeah right spider-boy" Shuri meant this as a challenge. "I seriously did take them down, but I guess you be you" Peter said and began talking about something else.
T'challa turned around to see Peter walking towards his sister with a weary look on his face, While Shuri had unmistakable fury etched on her face and T'challa couldn't tell if it was because he hadn't let them out of the car or for another reason perhaps. He hardly heard Tony say "Maybe we should step inside" but his body did and started walking slowly inside.Not taking his eyes off Shuri and Peter, Who was trying to comfort her and walk with her inside.He eventually tore his eyes off his sister who seemed calm now and started up a conversation with Stark.
"Those two get on like a house on fire" T'challa said to Tony who grinned.
"They'll probably light a house on fire"
"Yeah,yours" T'challa retorted back to Tony who let out a drawn out sigh and stepped inside the huge meeting place filled with light.
"Shuri?" Peter asked quietly and got a hum in response.
Why did you tense up and give Mr.America the devil glare?" Shuri sighed before giving out her response.
"He just makes me so angry Peter. When I see him I think about how you could've died and how YOUR Da-Sorry mentor could've died! He didn't care about anyone else except a expert assassin who could kill him any given moment, An assassin who forgot about him and murdered innocent people. He didn't care if a young boy like you had his life taken away. He didn't care and that's what makes me so so angry and I-" Shuri was cut off by the sudden tears that had ran down her cheeks and onto the concrete ground and the block in her throat that made it scratchy to talk now.
"Oh Shuri" Peter softly said before pulling her into a tight embrace, and to be honest she liked the hug but she would never admit it in her whole life,mind and soul. That hug was what she needed and it warmed her heart that had gone and shattered when her father died, She toughed it out though and became a strong independent woman who's country could rely on. She let her tears flood down her face when her brother had temporarily 'died' and there her heart shattered again. Maybe that hug is what made her pick up the last pieces of her heart to put them back together again and accept new days coming, Not waking up accepting that she could die any moment at any time. She was happy and these thoughts made her tighten her embrace around the hug as she let her tears flow and sob into Peters shoulder while being comforted. Maybe Peter was someone that could help her call the place that had so much violence...'home', Maybe she could love home.
"Enkosi kakhulu" Shuri quietly muttered.

Bucky turned around and let his eyes wander at who walked in the door. Bucky squirmed a bit seeing that it was Tony because he hadn't given him a full apology for assassinating his parents, but Bucky smiled at T'challa who made eye contact with him before going back to talking with Stevie. Bucky knew that Shuri was here. He loved Shuri like a sister. Shuri was intelligent and funny even though he didn't understand half of her jokes or 'memes' as she called them. Bucky headed out the door and spotted his eyes on Shuri. He also stopped in his tracks and wondered who the boy next to her was, he was wearing blue jeans and a light blue jumper and looked out of place because everybody else wore a suit or a dress, the exception of Shuri of course. From what Bucky could see was that Shuri seemed very upset and also very angry. He couldn't hear what the boy whispered to her (obviously he couldn't he whispered it) but it made her more upset and tears formed in her eyes and he wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't. His feet stood still and alert. Bucky turned around to head back inside, trying and failing to insist his mind that Shuri was okay. He was overpowered by the urge to check on her and turned back, only to see Shuri in a tight hug with the boy. She looked happy and that's what Bucky liked. Bucky liked him. Shuri was known to be a strong independent sometimes sarcastic and sassy but a generally great person. He was a nice boy.
