Saved

As soon as I brought Shuri into her lab, I checked if anyone was around and returned to her.

She was already pressing some buttons on a futuristic computer and says, "It seems like someone places bombs around the city and lets them explode.

However, I don't understand how they discovered the herb garden... This is all very strange."

"Don't worry, we will find everything out and get the people who did this." I say and place a hand on her shoulder.

In response, she nodded and I began to walk toward the exit. "I will go and help the people and also look after the culprits. Lock up the lab and don't open it to anyone until I'm back."

"Be careful." she said, but I winked at her and disappeared from the lab.

Arriving shortly after at the incident site, I was shocked.

Seeing the bombing in Sokovia was horrific. Unlike there, where bombs tear everything apart, this was a different situation. It looked more like someone wanted to see people suffer.

The explosion occurred in a bookstore, but it was not destroyed instead it was completely engulfed in flames.

The bizarre thing was that the flames began to get light green. When the explosion occurred, the flames looked normal from afar, so the color change?

People tried to stop the flames with water, but the flames got bigger every time they tried to put them out. As a result, the flames started to spread to the next buildings.

Activating my super speed, I sprint to the people and steal all their buckets and strange handgun devices that shoot also water.

Since there is no fire department in Wakanda, it seems that chosen people were given these futuristic water pistols to deal with fires that occur.

Afterwards, I activated my speed and transported them all further away from the flames.

To ensure everyone was evacuated, I checked every flat in a few seconds and was able to save some pets and other people, who were forgotten or did not want to come out on their own.

Numerous people were now standing a street away from the flames, looking confused around, while I was a bit out of breath and sat on the ground to recover.

"Why are all the people here? We need them all to put out the flames."

The spear-wielding freak Okoye, who should be guarding the royal family right now, stood behind me.

I turn to her and say, "I did this to prevent the city from completely burning down. The water makes the flames bigger, so we must find a different way to put them out."

"What are you---?" she wanted to say something, but suddenly a blue dome appeared above us and it started to rain.

---

I leave them all behind and rush back to the burning buildings, only to see the green flames starting to go wild.

I tried to call Shuri immediately, but she didn't pick up her phone... how could she miss it? It is part of her wrist.

Damn, what now? My first thought was to check on her. But if I leave now, the city will burn down...

"Roar!!!" suddenly, I hear an ear-piercing roar from above.

While looking up, I can see a giant green thing flying toward me with someone in its hand. Hulk and Natasha Romanoff.

They land in front of me and I ask them,"What are you two doing here?"

But Romanoff points at the flames and says, "We saw the explosions, but when we arrived in the city, we found some terrorists planting another bomb.

So Steve and the others stayed behind to deal with them, while we wanted to check out the flames and see if help was needed. But I never thought it would be this horrific."

"Do you know anything about the green flames or how we could put them out?" I ask them.

Then Hulk walks closer to the flames and puts his hand inside. "It something like Greek fire I think."

"Can you do something about it?" asked Natasha him, but he shakes his head,

"No, it's spreads to fast. If we could focus it on one point, maybe then I could create a shockwave to blow it out."

"I can do that. Get ready to act." I say and start to run around the flames in circles as fast as I can.

The created wind sucked in the flames, so it looked like the fire chased after me. The problem is it will burn me to a crisp if I slow down even a bit...

Then I stepped on the wind and ran literally into the air, while still being chased by flames. This sucked all the flames in the surrounding area into a massive fire tornado.

The Hulk sees this, steps inside the tornado and claps his hands in the air. I see the shockwave coming from his hands and jump as far away as possible from it.

A loud thunder followed his clap and the shockwave completely destroyed the flames, leaving only a grinning Hulk behind.

This grinned idiot nearly killed me...

I stand up from the roof of a building I landed on and look toward Shuri's lab. This action brought me nearly to my limit, but I needed to see after her.

So I scream to Romanoff and the Hulk below, "I think the Royal family is in danger! Go to the royal palace!"

Then I run towards Shuri lab.

---

Arriving there a second time today, I could see the door was broken down and it looked like a mess...

Then I hear two guys talking somewhere in the back, "Erik was right. These powers are amazing. If only this bitch wouldn't be so stubborn, then we could already run around in these black suits."

"Yeah, but don't worry, as soon as he has his chat with the king, she will give in and we will not only have the most advanced technology, but also a whole country to play with."

I walk closer and see two guys in military clothes at Shuri's workbench. One was packing stuff, while the other tried lifting machines above his head.

The machine he held right now looked so heavy that he should have been crushed by it, but for some reason he was fine.

Using my super speed, I sprint to the weightlifter and kick his feet away. This made him crash to the ground and the machine he was lifting fell on him with a nasty sound.

The other grabs his pistol and tries to aim at something he can't see. So I go to him and take away his weapon, then grab the knife on his vest and stab his arms and feet.

This made him fall to the ground while screaming in pain. I bend down, place the knife at his throat and ask while making him bleed with it, "I ask once, where is Shuri?

"No! Don't kill me!!! They are in the mine, I swear."

He continued to scream something, but I was already on my way down to the mine. I let him live because he couldn't move anyway, even when he probably deserved to die for the attack...

My speed got considerably slower after the whole secure thing and the flames. However, I had no choice but to move forward. I need to find Shuri before something bad happens to her.

Because this Erik couldn't bring them that far inside, I searched near the surface until I found them on a cliff that led out of the mine, talking.

"I guess your father killed my father with this suit and claws. What do you think? Should I do the same to him? And then bring auntie, to do the same to her? Or are you willing to give me control over the tech?"

"You will never let us go, even when I give it to you. So forget it!"

Stepping onto the cliff, I could see Shuri, with her hands bound, sitting on the ground. While Erik stood there in T'Challa's old suit and held T'Chaka in the air by the throat.

Both Shuri and T'Chaka had a metal collar around their necks, with many cables and some small lamps on it. Are this bombs?

---

Although I didn't have much juice left, it should be enough for this asshole. I sprint forward, take off his Black Panther helmet and hit him in the face.

Then kick him away while catching the old king and placing him near Shuri.

Erik lands on the ground groans in pain and then looks at me wide-eyed. "You? What the hell do you want? This has nothing to do with you, so stay away."

"Maybe, but if you touch my girlfriend and my future father-in-law, I can't look away." I say and turn around, while giving Shuri a wink.

T'Chaka had only a what the fuck face, when he heard me...

"Father-in-law? Do you even know what he did? What I had to go through because of him?" asks Erik.

I shrug and say, "I don't care." then rush forward and hit him directly in the face again.

This time I used the momentum of my speed to make the blow stronger. Due to this, he hit the ground harder and stayed down this time.

"This was for the attack on the city." having said this, I walked back to Shuri and her father to unbind them. They both were fine, even when T'Chaka looked beaten up, but he would survive this.

It seems that Erik used the open gates of Wakanda to come here with some other people. After causing chaos with the bombs, they attacked the royal family to kidnap them.

"Are you two alright?" they both nod and I ask Shuri, "Can you remove the collar?"

She looks at it but then shakes her head, "No, not without equipment. We need to go to my lab."

This collar looked like it shouldn't be removed without careful inspection anyway, so I agreed with her.

When I wanted to take them both away, their collars suddenly blinked like crazy...

What the hell? I look back to see Erik grinning at us, then he says, "Do you really think you could escape me, old king? Now live your last seconds knowing that your daughter will die too."

I speed back to him and search for the control of the collar, but his suit had no pockets and nothing was in his hands.

"Do you search for this?" He opened his mouth and I saw something blinking red in his back tooth. A detonator that you activate by biting it? What the hell?

I was stunned for a second, but then heard T'Chaka behind me. "Safe, my daughter." he said smiling, before jumping down the cliff...

In the next moment, I could see that Shuri's collar started to bloat up.

I let go of Erik and accelerate my body to the limit and time begins to slow down. Then I run to Shuri, who looks wide-eyed at her father's fall.

Then touch her collar and make my hand vibrate by shaking it. As this vibration travels to the collar, it opens up, but at the same time begins to explode. So I grab the collar and throw it in the air.

Time flows normally again and the collar explodes above us.

"No, father!!!" Shuri ignored the explosion and looked down the cliff while screaming with tears in her eyes. A second later another explosion...

I wanted to comfort her, but she said surprised, "Father?"

Suddenly the old king comes flying back and lands on the ground next to us, looking confused. Around him was a violet energy that felt familiar to me.

I look up and can see my sister levitating down from the sky, while her hands glow in the same energy.

"What the hell is going on? We are away for a few weeks and when we return, my favorite comic book store is burned down and a T'Challa cosplayer is running around.

Hearing his voice, I sigh and turn around. David was standing there with one foot on the unconscious Erik.

Then suddenly everything went dark.
