***Compound***
A Wakandan ship slowly descended before landing. Once it did, two people exited the vessel. Okoye and Little Azari.
Bruce and Rhodey came out to meet the two Wakandans.
"Gentlemen." The general said to them.
"Okoye." Bruce greeted, attempting to do the Wakandan salute. "How's that?"
He had crossed his wrists together, but not close to his chest. But he made a good effort
"Good. Very good." She commended him, doing it back to him in respect
"How's it going, kid?" Rhodey smiles at Little Azari.
"I'm good, sir!" The prince replied. "Are Jamie and Nikki here?"
"Yeah, they're inside playing." Bruce added.
The prince looked up to his guardian with an innocent face. "May I go?"
The general smiled and nodded and the boy swiftly ran into the Compound to find his friends.
Now that they were alone, the three grownups were able to speak on a more serious level.
"Thanks for coming." Bruce sympathetically thanked her, a light shrug at his shoulders. He knew this was hard for her. It was on all of them. But she was glad to.
"Of course. Anything for my king...and for my friends."
Bruce and Rhodey nodded, understanding what she meant and how she felt.
"Who's watching Wakanda?" Rhodey asked.
"The Princess. Now that T'Challa is.....the land needs their leader. She was next in line, but...she wasn't so eager to do so. She said it didn't feel right to take the mantle."
The two Avengers exchanged looks of hurt and pain at the sound of those words. It hurt to see allies beaten up like this.
They hadn't known the Wakandans yet r T'Challa very long, or very well. But they did know something. He was a good king, a good man, and a good friend. So the fact that there was a chance they could bring him back gave Okoye all the more hope.
"Well, come on," Rhodey said, "Wheels up in thirty."

***Courtyard***
Two people walked out of the Compound and onto the lawn, towards the Benatar. Sam and Peter. They are in their suits, helmets off for both of them.
As they made it to the steps of the Benatar, they stopped. A slight feeling of uncertainty came to them, but only Sam spoke upon it.
"You sure about this, Pete?" He asked.
"Not really. But what've we got to lose?" The spider-teen replied with a shrug.
