10:20 PM. WAKANDA, AFRICA 

"is that him?" y/n says to w'kabi as they are on the border of wakanda with the border tribe. y/n holds an apple up to the large rhino, it eating it from the palm of her hand. it rubs his horn against her hand, making her smile. the rhino stays inside the makeshift wooden table. 

"glory to bast, man," t'challa says, looking at the rhino. his hands behind his back. "is he still growing?"

"of course," w'baki says, smiling at them both. w'baki with okoye has shipped y/n and t'challa from the start. 

a group of kids slowly walk up to y/n. she bends down, putting her hands on her knees, smiling towards them.

"hi," she says. "are you all okay?"

"can we show you something?" a little girl with dark skin and pink beads in her hair asks y/n. y/n nods, taking the hand of the little girl. all the kids start to cheer taking y/n over to their homes. 

t'challa looks at y/n fondly. he'd always hoped that they would have kids one day. if that's what y/n wanted. and if she didn't, he would be than happy to give his little sister the throne. 

"y/n is back," w'baki says to t'challa. "you guys going to work it out?" w'baki looks towards t'challa who doesn't say anything. "t'challa...what's wrong?"

"y/n thinks we should be doing more," t'challa admits. 

"more like, what?"

"foreign aid," t'challa starts off. "refugee programs,"

"you let the refugees in..." w'baki starts. "they bring their problems with them. and the wakanda is like everywhere else," t'challa looks at w'baki unsure. "now. if you said you wanted me and my men...to go out there and clean up the world, then i'll be all for it,"

"but waging wars on other countries has never been our way," t'challa says to him. their kimoyo beads start trilling just as y/n jogs over to them, y/n's doing the same. 

"both of you?" she says, standing in between them. "ay. we are in trouble, oh," the three put their beads together to reveal an image of okoye. 

"my king, my queen," she says towards y/n, who rolls her eyes and t'challa, who smiles. "my love," okoye says, turning towards w'baki. "you will never guess who popped up on our radar," the three look at each other, confused. 

✳

t'challa, w'baki, the heads of the tribes, ramonda, y/n and okoye are all in the throne room. y/n doesn't even know why she's here. she's not the queen but t'challa, w'baki, okoye and ramonda insisted. 

"a misidentified wakandan artifact..." okoye starts, showing the artifact from her beads. "was stolen yesterday from a british museum. we have learned," the artifact changes to the wakandian thief. "ulysses klaue...plans to sell the vibranium to an american buyer...in south korea...tomorrow night," okoye sits down opposite her husband.

"klaue has escaped our pursuits for almost thirty years," t'challa says as he sits on the throne, y/n sitting next to him. "not capturing is, perhaps, my father's greatest regret. i wish to bring klaue back here to stand trial,"

"wakanda does not need a warrior right now," the chief of the merchant tribe says. "we need a king,"

"my parents were killed when he attacked," w'baki says. ramonda looks towards him. "not a day goes by when i do not think about what klaue took from us. from me,"

"it's too great an opportunity to pass," okoye says. 

"take me with you," w'baki says to t'challa. "we'll take him down together, side by side,"

"you should stay here," y/n says. "to protect the border," t'challa couldn't be happier. she even thinks like a queen. 

"y/n is right," t'challa nods. 

"then i ask," w'baki says. "you kill him where he stands...or you bring him back to us,"

"you have my word," t'challa says. "i will bring him back," t'challa stands up, facing everyone else. "we will procced with the mission,"
