T'Challa

I felt the warm sunlight on me as I opened my eyes, I felt a body move closer to me I smiled thinking this was the recurring dream I had where I woke up to Ayesha's smiling face. I rolled over then sat up quickly instead of long white hair it was curly and short, I shook my head as I looked at my sleeping ex-fiancée Monica Lynne

'Damn you W'Kabi." I said softly me convinced me to go out last night outside of Wakanda we took a jet to Johannesburg where she was performing. Even though we were no longer together I was still a fan of her music, she had a beautiful voice there was no denying that. I quickly but quietly pulled on my clothes I wrote her a quick note and left the room. Once I got back to the jet, I found W'Kabi sleeping in one of the bunks I shook him, and he woke up then laughed

"How was your night brother?"

"You should not have let me go home with her."

"Why? You needed it, maybe now you will stop being so mopey."

"You know how I feel about Ayesha."

"Yes, and from what you've told me she doesn't feel the same way." He said, that hurt I thought about her face when I told her I loved her she looked so scared but when she didn't say it back it hurt.

"Sleeping with Monica won't fix that in case you forgot she left me."

"Well maybe she's changed her mind she was so happy to see you last night."

"Monica is a beautiful and what we had we great but..."

"She's not Ayesha." He finished and I nodded then both of our kimoyo beads began to ring, they lit up orange, Okoye

"Bast we're in trouble." W'Kabi said as we connected the beads into one picture

"Where are you two?" She snapped

"We're on our way back home my love."

"Save it! Get back here fast, we have a solid lead on Klaue." She said

"Where?" W'Kabi asked

"London, he stole a disguised Wakandan artifact from the British museum. I have an informant he's planning on selling this item tomorrow in South Korea."

"We're on our way." I said then hung up

We got back to Wakanda, and met with the elders of the four tribes, it took a little convincing, but we were going to Busan, South Korea tonight. Shuri asked me to come by her lab for some designs she created for this mission. I walked in the lab and she bowed

"My King."

"Stop it." I hated people bowing to me we did the Wakandan salute then we walked into her lab

"I've already sent a car to Busan for you. who are you taking with you?"

"Okoye and Nakia." I said and she looked at me

"Are you sure it's a good idea to take your ex with you on a mission?"

"Nakia and I are just friend now, you know that."

"Hmm." She said and then looked at me she was hiding something

"What?"

"Nothing, haver you spoken to Ayesha? I think I found a breakthrough for our frozen friend."

"What did you have to show me?" I asked not wanting to talk about Ayesha

"You two still aren't speaking?" I gave her a look

"Ok, ok." She said showing me the new communication devices and she gave me a new set of kimoyo beads

"What is that?" I asked heading over to mannequins

"Better question is...WHAT ARE THOSE!?" She pointed at my feet

"Why do you have your toes out in my lab?"

"You don't like my royal sandals? I thought I'd go old school today."

"I bet the elders loved it." She said and I nodded with a smile

"Now for the best part exhibit A."

"My suit."

"Old tech."

"'Old'? my design?"

"Functional but old. 'hey people are shooting at me! But wait I have to put on my helmet!"

"Enough." I said walking over to the two necklaces, my eyes instantly fell on the gold one, it was nice but a little too flashy for my tastes

"You like that one?" She asked I looked at her

"It's nice but the idea is to not be noticed," I told her then I walked over to the silver one

"This one." I said pointing it, I saw her scan my profile

"Think about it coming on." She said and it appeared

"Woo!" She took my hand

"This might be some of your best work yet." I said to her and she smiled

"The entire suit is in the teeth of the necklace. Strike it." She said and I looked at her

"Anywhere?" I asked and she nodded so I kicked it and it went flying to the other side of the lab

"Not that hard genius!" She snapped running after it

"I invite you to my lab and you kick things around?!" She said bringing it back over

"You said strike it, you didn't say how hard... wait a minute." I noticed the purple lines in the area where I kicked it

"The suit absorbs kinetic energy. Strike it again in the exact same spot." She said taking a couple of steps back

"You are recording." I noted at her holding up her kimoyo beads

"For research purposes." She said simply I frowned, and I turned and kicked the suit, and I went flying

All I could hear was Shuri laughing I looked up at her

"Delete that footage!"

Nakia, Okoye and I walked into the casino and stood at the balcony

"I'll will keep an eye out for the buyer." Nakia said

"I'll stay up here and keep an eye out for Klaue." Okoye said as my eyes scanned the room, they landed on Everette Ross

"I think I found our buyer." I said and Nakia and I walked towards the stairs, but Okoye stopped me

"Whatever happens don't freeze." She said and I frowned

"What are you talking about I never freeze." I said the Nakia looped her arm through mine and we headed downstairs. She walked over to the bar and head to the craps table

"Agent Ross." I said and he glanced at me

"Your highness."

"I know you are buying from Klaue." I said placing my chips on the table

"Whatever I'm buying or not buying on behalf of the U.S government is none of your business, and whatever it is your doing here stay out of my way," He said

"You owe me I gave you Zemo."

"And I kept the secret that the leader of a third world country runs around dressed like a giant cat, so I think we're even."

"What Klaue is selling belongs to my country so he will be leaving with me. I like to see your agents try to stop me."

"I think you should take it up with my equalizer." He said as I heard a familiar laugh, I turned to see a smiling Ayesha at the blackjack table, and I froze...
