"We're here."
The private jet lands at the end of the runway in the Wakandan airport.
Tony insisted on using his jet so that hopefully no one could recognize Bucky, as the Winter Soldier or not, we couldn't risk our government spotting us before we could have a chance to speak with the king.
It was only the three of us Brooklyn-borns who went on the trip. Steve thought it was safer and lighter that way. Out of everyone, the king could trust Steve the most.
As we walk down the stairs to exit the aircraft, we were greeted by a high-tech jet, much different from Stark's builds, parked a few feet from us. Its shape was almost circular and its engines glowed blue. But it wasn't that that surprised us, it was the material that we recognized from Steve's shield. Vibranium. The whole jet was made from vibranium.
Guarding its doors on the ground were two warrior women dressed in gold and red while holding a spear in each side of their hands. I remember Nat saying they're called the Dora Milaje. There in the middle stood the man we expected to meet.
Steve walks ahead of us while I stayed next to Bucky behind. As Steve was about to continue walking further, the Dora Milaje cross their spears, blocking his way.
"Keep your distance, Captain." one of them spoke, "You are in our country now."
Steve unhesitantly takes a step back, respecting them.
The King chuckles lowly then puts on a welcoming smile. "At ease now, these are the Avengers. I'm sure they mean no harm."
"Your highness, thank you for accepting our request to meet with you. I know we'll use your time wisely." Steve pauses and looks back to Bucky before continuing, "We'd like to ask for your help. This is-"
"-I know why you are here." T'Challa nods his head, cutting him off. He then turns his head to Bucky. "And I know who you are."
I took this chance to speak up, "Then you know why we need your help."
He takes notice of me before pausing and stepping aside from the guards, "Please, let us discuss this somewhere proper."
T'Challa gestures us to get inside the jet. To our surprise when we walk in, he hops in the driver's seat while Steve made his way to the passenger side next to him, and Bucky and I remained seated at the back. If we weren't impressed enough by its exterior, the interior was double the tech of Tony's. Almost the entire ship was displayed with holographic screens and unidentifiable mechanics.
As we start to lift from the ground and zoom away from the airport, T'Challa must've noticed our awed silence and our gazes on him as he glanced back. He lets out a chuckle.
"I know it must be surprising seeing a king drive his guests." He reads our minds, "But I was born with two hands and two feet. I should use it and be grateful."
