Wakanda and Shuri

Tony immediately took Wolverine to a lab which no one knew about and placed him on a surgical bed.

"Start the process of extracting adamantium"

[Preparations Completed]

Extraction of adamantium took almost 6 hours in which Steve and Natasha had come to visit him in the Stark tower but because he was not there, they left for their Base.

In the time of extraction, Tony was also informed about the Wakandian vibranium, the Heart-Shaped herb, and their Energy Shield.

Iron Man's energy shield could withstand a nuclear explosion with a material even more radioactive than uranium at just 2% power but that was way ahead in the comics. He doesn't even have the Mandarin ring so he will have to copy the blueprint for it from Wakanda.

Tony thought that it was a good Idea to form a good relationship with King T'Chaka so he could get the Vibranium without much problem, and hence he devised a ridiculous plan.

He would crash into Wakanda in a near-death state and because they would recognize him as an Avenger, they would treat him. He will make his body reject all the medicine until they are forced to try the Heart-Shaped herb and when they do that, he will magically get healed and gain his consciousness back.

He will then become friends with T'Challa and Shuri. Shuri was a badass in the comics who later gets supernatural powers like shapeshifting and necromancy so he needed to have her in his clutches.

"This is one crazy idea. But there is no harm in trying it. Wakandians are good people, they won't harm me and if they decide to admit me in a hospital outside of wakandian soil then I will make it so that I will die any minute. Yeah, The Idea is feasible. Jarvis, Transfer all the Wakandian history, knowledge and technology. Ingest it in my brain, I'm going on an adventure."

Said Tony with a red glint in his eyes.

After Tony had comprehended everything from Wakanda, he started to work on Adamantium the same was as how Wakandian had crafted vibranium.

After a couple days of brainstorming, he was able to convert Adamantium in nanoparticles but wasn't able to integrate them with the arc reactor as the energy required to operate them was enormous, and hence Tony decided to first go to Wakanda before King T'Chaka dies.

Shuri was in a garden practicing some martial arts when suddenly she detected something falling towards Wakanda.

She immediately ran towards the falling piece of metal which created a small crater in the jungle.

As she approached near, she saw that it was moving and immediately raised her guard but soon she froze in shock.

Other Wakandian's too rushed towards the jungle and they too froze in shock as they saw a very famous Iron Man, in a broken armor. His condition was heartwrenching to say the least as his own broken armor impaled him from the different sides of his body.

T'Challa and T'Chaka too came to see what the commotion was all about and when their eyes landed on Tony, who was looking at them with a pained smile, a chill ran down their spines as they imagined themselves in his position.

Tony was trying to remove an armor plate from his stomach and when he couldn't, he had hopelessness in his eyes. He suddenly jerked and ripped the armor plate taking out some flesh and blood with it.

Shuri immediately went to Tony's side to stop him from doing it and seeing it, all the wakandian's came near to help as well.

Tony looked at Shuri then at T'Challa and then towards The King himself after which he vomited a mouthful of blood on Shuri's breast and lost his consciousness in her arms.

"Fath- My King! Nothing is working on him, please allow me to use the Heart herb!" Said Shuri with frustration as she looked at Tony who was covered in grey bandages and then at the King.

"No. The Heart herb is only for the Royal Wakandian Family who have sworn to protect our people and the Vibranium." replied the King in a firm voice.

T'Chaka exited the room immediately and soon T'Challa entered the room with a projection playing in front of him from the kimoyo bead.

As Shuri turned around to see her brother, she saw a video playing in front of her brother in which Iron Man was taking a nuclear into space. The Portal through which he exited the earth's atmosphere started to close soon enough and her heart tightened watching it. Soon though, Iron Man fell from the portal before it closed completely and started to fall towards the earth's surface.

Watching this, Hulk climbed the building immediately and caught him before he fell to his death.

The Video was then over and soon a news headline started playing in which it was stated that Tony Stark was kidnapped by the terrorists.

"He has a heart of a warrior." Remarked T'Challa after watching some more videos of Tony and looked towards Shuri while saying

"Feed him the Heart Herb, He deserves it. No need to alert King Father about this."

Shuri's eyes lit up at this and she hugged her dear brother. She soon left the room to get the herb personally and T'Challa left with her.

Now that Tony was alone in his room, a small smile creeped up on his face as he said 'Perfect', and then returned to his previous camotose expression as if nothing happened.

[Sir, We have intercepted the people who were in a possession of Apocalypse's body. They were from a Tribe known as Akkaba.]

'Akkaba? That's the tribe which adopted Apocalypse centuries ago! Kill Everyone and don't leave any sign of their existence. Get all the suits if you have to and retrieve Apocalypse.' Instructed Tony in is mind.

Akkaba tribe was nothing special and eradicating them was extremely easy. Their descendants must have gotten the news of Apocalypse's revival and must've wanted to use his blood for their mutation.

After Tony's order, all the suits in the Stark tower disappeared at the same time.

3 Days later, Tony started to open his eyes and as soon as he did, he immediately tried to get up but a pain in his chest threw him back on the bed.

"Easy there, You don't want to go back in coma now do you?" Said a sweet voice.

Tony immediately turned towards the voice and found Shuri sitting by his bead side while reading TIME Magazine with his photo on the cover.

"Where am I? Who are you? Wha-"

"Shhh...You are quite impatient Dr. Stark. But let me tell you where you are. You are in Wakanda. And I am Shuri."

"Wakanda…..That sounds….familiar." Said Tony in deep thought.

"Does it? Well, Not surprising considering how you created your very own AI at the age of 16 and already have 3 PhDs in Physics, Electrical engineering, and Mechanical engineering. By the way, What's surprising is that even with the healing amplifications from the Heart-Shaped herb, your healing is this slow. Dr. Stark, just what the hell happened?"

"Heart shaped herb? What is that? wait….My body….It feels…Strong!" Said Tony in a clear disbelief.

Shuri chuckled at his realization. She was instantly charmed by the genius laying in front of her. She slowly helped him up and made him drink some kind of medicine. As Tony drank the liquid, he used the amplifications done by the Heart-Shaped herb and sped up his healing.

"Ugh.."

Tony choked on the medicine as he caught his chest and gritted his teeth in pain. Shuri immediately put the medicine at side and checked him with her kimoyo bead.

As she saw what was happening in his body, her face relaxed.

"Why are smiling?" Asked Tony with a pained expression.

"The Herb is finally working! Don't worry Dr. Stark, you will be up and running in no time now."

"You can simply call me Tony, or Stark for that matter. By the way, Will you explain to me what's happening?"

.

.

.

.

.

Shuri then explained everything to Stark, about the Herb, about her father and brothers and about Wakanda. She then showed him her lab and Tony looked flabbergasted at the technology and her brilliant mind.

His reaction gave Shuri an indescribable sense of accomplishment and then she went on to explain to him about the vibranium technology.

"And before you ask Tony, the answer is no. We can't give you the Vibranium. Forget about giving, Father will kill you just for asking as he has sworn to protect it."

"Who needs Vibranium? It's just a fancy mineral. I can make much better things with scrap metal." Retorted Tony with a smirk.

Shuri began to laugh at his remark and they soon lost themselves in talking.

.

After talking nonstop for 6 hours straight, Okoye came and told them that the news about Tony's recovery has reached the King and he has asked for him tomorrow morning.

"Well Looks like you should rest Tony, Rest well, I will come tomorrow to take you to the King…..and make sure to not mention anything about the Heart-Shaped herb, got it?"
