"where are we going again?" everett asks as the four of them travel up and snowy, cold, frosty mountain. 

"we, my good friend, are taking the heart shaped herb to the jabari tribe," y/n says, making sure everyone is wrapped up tightly. they are not used to this weather. 

"heart shaped herb? what is that?" everett asks, confused. 

"it gives whoever takens it, heighten abilities," shuri says. 

"it's what made t'challa so strong," y/n smiles, thinking about the times when he would pick her up just to prove how string he actually is. and this was without the herb. 

"y/n," ramonda calls out, making turn around and walk over to her. "i don't like this. the herb belongs to us. we may be creating a bigger monster with m'baku," y/n looks over seeing the symbol of the jabari tribe embedded on the rocky mountain. "y/n, you should take it yourself,"

"i am a spy, queen mother," y/n says, looking at ramonda. "with no army. i wouldn't stand a chance,"

"lets go," ramonda nods with a firm nod. the group start to walk before y/n stops them. she hears something. the chanting of the jabari. they appear all around them as they continue to chant. 

"stay calm," y/n whispers to the group as the jabari get closer and closer. 

"shuri..." ramonda says, grabbing her child. keeping her safe. as the jabari finally close in on them. 

✳

the four of them find themselves walking into the throne room where m'baku is sitting, ready for their arrival. 

ramonda steps forward towards m'baku. 

"my son was murdered in ritual combat," she says, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. 

"were the odds fair?" m'baku demands.

"yes, but-" y/n starts but m'baku cuts her off. 

"so it was less a murder than a defeat," he says. 

"do not rub our noses in it!" shuri shouts. 

"silences," m'baku says, making everyone go silent. "i make the pronouncements here, girl,"

"look, uh," everett starts. "your highness, the new king is a u.s-" m'baku chants, stopping everett from talking. "the new king-" the jabari join in with their king. chanting, making the four look around. 

"you cannot talk!" m'baku shouts towards everett. "one more word and i will feed you to my children,"

everett gulps in fear as y/n rolls her eyes. 

"i'm kidding, we are vegetarians," he laughs, he can't help it. to be honest, i would be laughing too. 

"great gorilla m'baku," y/n starts, kneeling down. m'baku stops laughing letting the women speak "this is why we are here..." the purple heart shapped herb glistens slightly in her [dark/medium/light] brown hands. "to offer this to you. an outsider...he sits..." her husband's throne. no, they weren't married but their souls were. "he sits on our throne. you are the only one that can help us stop him,"

m'baku stands up, looking over at the four. who all start to bow towards the jabari tribe leader. everett not so much.

"come with me," m'baku says, making everett stand up so quickly and the rest of the wakandians look at each other, confused.
