A week has passed since that incident, and the class was still on the topic of Infinity War and Endgame. Peter had no idea how they know such in-depth information.

"Class, today we have a new student, uh, it's the Princess of Wakanda, Princess Shuri Udaku (?)."

Shuri walked in and Peter gasped. No way.

"Um hi. I am Shuri, and I was named after the original Shuri Udaku, brother of the Black Panther who fought Thanos 995 and 999 years ago." Shuri explained.

No way. Peter knew his meme and vine buddy, and this Shuri, this was his buddy. Not a decedent, but the actual Shuri.

"Welcome Shuri please sit next to Peter please." Mr Grey pointed to me.

Shuri's eyes swept across the room and they landed on me. Her eyes widened ever so slightly, and she quickly came to sit next to me.

"Peter? Is that really you?" She hissed.

"If you are the Shuri from 2018, then yeah." Peter whispered back.

"Holy- so a guy got you to drink something?"

"Yeah. See that boy? His name is Harley, he's like us."

"Then the four of us are finally together." Shuri realised.

"What?"

"I know the girl. She's here, I'll show you later."

"Ms Udaku, Mr Kenner. Do I have to separate your seats?"

"No sir." The duo replied in unison. 

"Then please listen."
---

"There. There she is." 

Class had ended for the time being and the two followed Shuri as she weaved her way through the crowded canteen. 

"Morgs!" Shuri called. 

"Shuri? Hey..." Her voice trailed off as she spotted Harley and Peter. "Peter?" 

"Morgan." 

Peter had only met the kid once, during Tony's funeral. That's it, no other time. But it was enough for Peter to recognise the girl. And also her face was shown everywhere back then. 

"Are you 17 too?" Harley asked curiously.

"I know you. My Dad used to tell me all about my brothers." 

Peter felt small tears spring to his eyes. Tony had planned to adopt them both. 

Morgan shook her head. "I'm 15. All of you are 17?" 

We all nodded. "Damn. Why am I younger?"

"Who knows."

The four that Ezekiel mentioned were together now. But, what is it that they needed to do? Was it worthwhile to have endured 995 years of loneliness?
