eight - simple

I stood in a room along with T'challa, Okoye and Agent Ross. Klaue was on the other side of the two way glass making faces at us. "Hello! I can see you! I can, I can see you."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. I was now in my normal jeans and t-shirt with a hoodie over it so I was warm.

Ross started talking first "So, this is a big mess, huh? I figured we can go good cop bad cop. I'll talk to him first, then you guys go in-"

Okoye cut him off in Xhosa. "We can't let him talk to Klaue alone."

"Better to let him talk to Klaue alone for 5 minutes than to make a scene here." T'challa replied in Xhosa while looking at Ross.

"Smart choice." I also spoke in Xhosa, Not wanting ross to understand me.

"After your questioning, we will take him back to Wakanda with us." T'challa gave him a smile.

Ross stared at T'challa for a second. "What? No. Look I like you, a lot. But he's in my custody now. He's not going anywhere. Listen, I 'm doing you a favor by letting you even be in here." He touched T'challa's shoulder.

I held back a laugh as Okoye gave Ross a look. "If he touches you again, I am going to impale him to this desk." She motioned to the desk.

Ross looked at me while kinda sensing her threat. "Does she speak English?"

Okoye spoke again but in english. "When she wants to."

"You speak two languages now?" He moved over to the door.

"I speak multiple languages, I learn fast when I want to." I smiled

He shook his head "I'm going in. And when I'm done, you guys are up."

"Agent Ross." T'challa looked over.

"Yea?"

T'challa put his arm on Ross's shoulder "I do appreciate your help in Busan."

"You see that? It's called diplomacy. You're welcome." Ross walks through the door, closing it behind him.

"Okoye! Play nice." T'challa looked over to her.

"Eh, Americans..." She scoffed.

"I'm American." I blinked.

"No, you don't count." Okoye kept her eyes on Klaue and Ross through the glass.

I heard the conversation in my ear from the bug T'challa planted on Ross. I walked to the other room where Nakia was. "Anything?"

Nakia shook her head. "Nothing yet at least."

"Good." I swung my hands and went back to T'challa and Okoye. I still don't know Nakia well but she's cool.

"It's all a front. Explorers searched for it for centuries. El Dorado:The Golden City. They thought they could find it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. A technological marvel. All because it was built on a mound of the most valuable metal known to man- Isipho- they call it. The gift. Vibranium..." Klaue went on about it.

There's no way Ross will buy this, Americans are dumb most of the time.

"Vibranium yeah. Strongest metal on Earth." Ross nodded.

"It's not just a metal, They sew it into their clothes, it powers their city, their tech, their weapons..." Ross was giving away all the information.

"This is going well." I scoffed.

"Weapons?" Ross questioned.

"Oh yes. Makes my arm cannon look like a leaf blower." Klaue smiled and motioned to his missing arm. Oh yeah Ultron cut his arm off. I wish he did more damage.
