━━━ A QUEEN AND KING,
❝ they'll always be watching over you ❞

• • ＷＡＫＡＮＤＡ

𝓜elody made her way through Wakanda, Bucky by her side as the people of Atlantica followed behind her. The group - army, had made it safely to land, some held excitement within, upon seeing what the land had to offer them especially entering Wakanda, it was peaceful much of their surprise.

Her smile brightened as Steve came into view followed by a few of her team mates following closely behind the former super soldier.

"Brought some more back up." Melody smiled as she was engulfed in a hug by Natasha then Steve.

"I can see that." Natasha nodded observing the merpeople behind the petite sea nymph. "How are they holding up?" She asked seeing them all looking around them in astonishment.

"Good, I think." Melody smiled with a shrug.

"And you, Buck?" Steve asked his best friend with a smile slapping his hand down on the man's shoulder.

"Not bad for a semi-stable, hundred-year-old man." He joked with a shrug.

Melody smiled as the two hugged one another.

"Where's Wanda and Vis?" Melody asked turning her attention to Natasha who nodded behind them.

"Trying to get the Mind Stone out with Shuri. Bruce is there too." She explained, the last part more quietly to the girl who nodded in understanding.

"So, do we call you queen Melusine or is Melody still good with you?" Sam inquired earning a giggle and a bone crushing hug from Melody.

"Melody is just fine."

"Khaleesi." Callisto's strong voice said gaining the groups attention.

Steve stood up straight seeing the familiar man once more alongside Ronan, "King Lockhart." He nodded earning a raised brow from Bucky at his best friend's formality and change of behaviour.

Callisto nodded to the man as Ronan glanced around with furrowed brows.

"Mr. Stark is not here?" He noted with a head tilt.

The group looked down at his words.

"I'm afraid I haven't heard from him in a while. I hope he got our message though." Steve briefly said earning a hesitant nod from the former king.

A woman in gold plated armour approached the group diverting their attention from the touchy topic at hand.

"Shuri requires your presence in the lab." She nodded to T'Challa and Steve who both nodded as the group began to disperse.

"Please show the people of Atlantica where they can prepare for battle." T'Challa nodded to the guardswoman who nodded curtly before turning to the group of merpeople and led them away through the Golden City.

"Kai." Ronan looked to the dark haired man who nodded in understanding and made his way over next to Melody. "If it is alright, I'd prefer he stay with her."

T'Challa nodded in understanding, "Of course."

Callisto looked to his daughter who nodded softly to him. Hesitantly he followed after their people and his father.

"You think we'll win?" Sam questioned doubtfully as he watched them all leave the main city leaving behind Melody, Kai, him, and Bucky.

"Pray to your God's that we do." Kai answered briefly glancing to the dark skinned man.

"𝓦here do you want to go after here?" Bucky asked the girl next to him who looked around them then to the sky occasionally. Melody turned to Bucky with raised brows, "I mean, now that you're a khaleesi and all does that mean you can't go to Paris for a very much needed date? Hmm, maybe Rome? I heard Spain is nice this time of year. Good for dancing . . ."

Melody let out a small smile as she shook her head, "I think it'd be okay. Wherever you are, I don't care."

"Yeah?" Bucky smiled adjusting his grip on his gun as he looked down at her lovingly. Melody giggled and nodded pressing her lips to his cheek.

Sam glanced to Kai who watched the two. A flash of sadness appeared in the man's crystal blue eyes before it vanished almost just as quickly.

Before Sam could utter a word to the man the defence shield over the Golden City destroyed one of the alien vessels when it slams into the field at full attack acceleration, pulling their attention above them.

"God, I love this place." Bucky murmured looking up at the force field above them.

A figure flew in front of them, James Rhodes. "Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome." He nodded to the right of them.

"That doesn't look good." Melody murmured starring off into the distance where shuttles were coming towards them.

"We should get everyone, now." Kai informed the group, nodding to Melody who nodded in understanding.

"Cap, we've got incoming." James Rhodes said through his ear peace.

"Yeah . . . we see it." Steve responded, "Get into positions."

Melody turned away from Sam and Bucky only to have her forearm grabbed by Bucky whose worried eyes looked down into her doe ones.

"Is this the part where you kiss me and be heroic?" She asked softly with an amused look in her eyes.

Bucky glanced behind her to the force field, where fire emitted from the tree lining.

"Would it be bad if I did?"

"No, I quite like those cliche movies you've showed me." She admitted just as Bucky pressed his lips to her own greedily.

"Avy jorrāelan." He murmured against her lips.

"Tell me that when we win." She said pulling away and walking away with Kai.

"You speak Valyrian now?" Sam questioned looking over to Bucky who still had a small smile on his lips. "You're whipped." He shook his head.

Bucky rolled his eyes at Sam, "Jealousy isn't an attractive trait, Wilson." He remarked, his eyes narrowing on him.

"Neither is being a hundred-year-old assassin with a soccer mom hairstyle." Sam muttered below his breath as Bucky walked away.

𝓜elody entered the large room where her people stood in, Kai by her side. She was immediately met with Ronan and Callisto who both led her to a secluded part of the room, ignoring the curious eyes of their people, as their loud voices now formed into whispers upon seeing their khaleesi and her hand by her side.

Alana nodded her way as did Marina and Margery.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Callisto asked her, nerves radiating off of him more so then his own daughter who nodded confidently to him. "I can do it if you're not ready. They'll still believe you're a khaleesi even if you choose to not participate in this. We need a khaleesi at the end of the day." He stressed, not bothering to hide his desperation in his tone.

Melody shook her head, "They need someone they can trust in, and believe in. And hiding in here isn't going to make me a believable one, I have to do this." She explained, "My whole life got me ready for this, and I am ready."

"Yes, but-"

Ronan placed his hand on his son's shoulder and nodded to Kai to take the man off to the side before he had a heart attack before the way was to commence.

"Do you believe we will win?" Ronan questioned his granddaughter who simply looked at him unable to give him a yes or no answer. "Whether we win or not, they would be proud of you." He smiled softly. Melody looked down ignoring the burning sensation in her eyes, "You saw them, didn't you? During the ceremony." Melody nodded softly, "They'll always be watching over you, they're here today." He added earning furrowed brows from the young girl, "One of my many gifts." He smiled softly over her shoulder.

Melody followed his line of sight to the back of the room which was empty. "I don't see them." She whispered with watery eyes.

Ronan nodded, "You will. One day." Melody met his eyes, "You don't only share my gift of being adventurous. You have yet to tap into many of your gifts, Melody." He informed her earning a smile from her, "I also brought you this." He said leading her out of the room into a separate room, where both her Trident laid on the leather couch alongside a white suit decorated in icy blue scales.

Melody's lips parted as her fingertips tried the delicate detailing. "This was-"

"Your grandmother's, then your muña's." He said softly looking down at the suit. "You're a khaleesi now, act like one, and you should dress like one too." Taking hold of it in his hands he held it out to her, "Kesi follow ao tubī."

She gripped onto the suit and nodded meeting his eyes once more. "Nyke won't qringaomagon ao. Iā zirȳ."

"I know you won't."

Melody wrapped her arms around her grandfather's waist and hugged him tightly, "Thank you, for everything." She mumbled into his armour covered chest.

"Va moriot." His lips twitched upwards as he mumbled into her thick hair.

𝓞nce the armies had been assembled they all made their way to the north of Wakanda where Thanos' army gathered trying to break through their barrier. The people of Wakanda, the people of Atlantica and The Avengers - partial of The Avengers, starred down the aliens who stood behind the force field.

"I got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line." James Rhodes announced over his mic.

The carrier pilots swerve into U-turns, causing their crafts to tilt and allowing the practiced soldiers to slide over one side into a run, never coming to a complete halt. A Dora Milaje shouts a command nearby as the last Wakandans join ranks as did the Atlantians.

"MAYEFA YA HU! MAYEFA YA HU! MAYEFA YA HU! MAYEFA YA HU! MAYEFA YA HU!" M'Baku rallies his soldiers up with a war chant as he was joined with the others.

T'Challa clasps wrists with M'Baku, "Thank you for standing with us."

"Ewe, mzalwana." M'Baku nodded.

Callisto looked over to his daughter with a nod of reassurance, she looked to her grandfather who nodded confidently looking forwards.

"KELIGON!" Melody shouted to her people who all came into form facing their enemies.

T'Challa, Captain America, Melusine, and Black Widow walk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian stand. Proxima tests the strength of the barrier by drawing her sword across it consideringly.

"She does see the barrier right?" Melody whispered to Natasha who shrugged, "What. An. Idiot." She mumbled as they now stood in front of the two large creatures.

"Where's your other friend?" Natasha feigned a look of confusion.

Proxima grits out, "You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone."

"That's not gonna happen." Steve remarked.

"You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood." T'Challa informed the aliens.

"We . . . have blood to spare." Proxima says as she brandishes her sword with a snarl, and the ships behind her start raising their outer hulls to allow their 'passengers' to disembark.

The four heroes return to the massed forces.

Bucky asked sardonically, "Did they surrender?"

"I think we made her angrier." Melody answered hesitantly as they watched aliens now running to the force field.

T'Challa leads the Wakandans in the war cry, "Yibambe!" Telling them to hold fast as the Outriders bound toward the barrier; Proxima drops her sword arm down in the signal to attack.

"Ānogar ēdruta emagon ānogar!" Melody shouted to the Atlantian's who repeated her words.

Bucky murmured flatly, astonished at the numbers of Outriders. "What the hell."

"Looks like we definitely pissed her off." Natasha noted grimly.

Melody winced as numerous aliens allowed themselves to be electrocuted to get through the force field. Swallowing down harshly she demanded, "Ossēnagon."

Raising her Trident, it's hilt hitting the grassy floor as shots rang through the field. A jolt of gold lightening emitted from the three points of the Trident as she raised it towards the aliens.

A few Outriders managed to squeeze through intact, the Border Tribe take a knee and raise their shields. The Kingsguard behind them level their sonic spears over their comrades' shoulders, and on T'Challa's command, fire at the approaching monsters. The Winter Soldier uses his M249 machine gun, and Bruce fires the Hulkbuster's hand repulsers.

"You seen the teeth on those things?" Sam asked as he sends Redwings into the fight as he flies, swooping to fire at them with his Steyr pistols.

"Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed." James Rhodes warns Falcon. He flies over the heaviest concentration of Outriders and drops a barrage of mines, all exploding at once.

"Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us . . . There's nothing between them and Vision." Bruce informed.

Steve says grimly, "Then we better keep 'em in front of us."

Okoye glanced over to T'Challa and Steve in confusion, "How do we do that?"

T'Challa says, "We open the barrier." Raising his hand he turned on his ear piece, "On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen."

M'Baku glanced to Okoye, "This will be the end of Wakanda."

"Then it will be the noblest ending in history." She says confidently.

Captain America readies one of his vibranium hand guards. T'Challa shouts a command in Xhosa; the Border Tribesmen disengage their shields and stand, as T'Challa walks out in front of them, never taking his eyes off the enemy.

"WAKANDA FOREVER!" He crosses his arms in the Wakandan salute and closes his Black Panther helmet, charging for the barrier. The heroes and leaders are at the fore of the charge. Halfway to the barrier, the Black Panther shouts into his comm, "Now!"
