Sugar Mama

Pietro's POV:

Wanda and David went on vacation to god knows where and I'm here for the first time alone.

How the hell did this happen? One moment Wanda and I are inseparable and in the next moment, she is going on a trip with this 'I can make my eyes glow, guy'.

Maybe I should have also picked up a weapon to hunt him down whenever he came close to her... but now it's too late.

My only comfort was Shuri in times like this. It was unfortunate that every time I came close to her, a spear literally flew toward me.

At least until now. Why do you ask me? Because from today on, Wakanda has allowed people to enter the country.

So the spear woman had all her hands full with the security of this place right now. This is especially so because T'Challa left the country for some business with the UN.

That's why Shuri and I had time and decided to go on a picnic.

Since Shuri could not use the royal kitchen for obvious reasons, I prepared everything.

So I was in town right now and bought stuff with the money of the 'I can spit fire out of my mouth and zap people, guy'.

I don't know where he got the money or why Wakanda accepts all currencies, but I will certainly not ask them.

Having bought everything we needed, I stepped outside only to see the visitors on tour through the city. There was nothing special about them and it seemed that they came from all over the world.

Except for a few... for example, a big black man with locs, who looked around as if he was scouting out this place. I saw many people like him in Sokovia, so I was pretty sure he was a mercenary or soldier.

This tempted me to go and speak to him. "Hey, do you need help? You seem to be lost."

He looked at me up and down and said disgustedly, "Not from someone like you, so stay away."

Afterwards he walked past me and tried to hit me with his shoulder. But I evaded it, then made him trip with my foot and he fell to the ground.

"Are you alright? You need to be more careful. It seems very slippery today."

He jumps up and walks towards me and says angrily, "You---" but another guy comes who seems to be also a military guy and stops him.

"Erik, stop! We need to leave, the tour continues."

This Erik stops and says, "We will meet again, clown."

But I shrug, "Sure, I will wait for it." and then we go our separate ways.

I had a bad feeling about them somehow. But I'm sure Wakanda wouldn't let dangerous people in, right?

Wait they let us in too... maybe I should stay alert for a while.

I reached my home a second later and prepared all the food in two seconds. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I would make a lot of money if I opened up a food delivery service.

The only problem is that making sandwiches is my absolute limit. I simply have no patience for this cooking stuff. Even fast food takes too long to make...

My next stop is picking Shuri up and dash away with her without someone seeing us and then going somewhere where, well... no one sees us.

In the last few weeks, I searched nearly all of Wakanda for the ideal spot to meet with Shuri. I even found a cave with strange violet glowing flowers in it.

But when I wanted to pick one up for Shuri, It had a strange vibration around it.

Until now, I only saw this vibration around people like Wanda, 'I can hypnotize you, guy' and even Bruce Banner. So I decided to take one and ask one of them about it later.

Anyway, yesterday, I found a small oasis that would be perfect for a picnic while watching the sunset.

After preparing everything, I wrote to Shuri that I would be arriving soon. She sends me a 👌 and I start running.

A few minutes later I was on her balcony and she came out and gave me a hug.

"You finally came. Could you prepare everything?"

I nod and show her the basket. "Of course I did. How much time do we have today?"

That made her grin and then she placed her hands on her hips and said with a raised nose, "The whole day, I told everyone I'm ill and that I don't want to be disturbed. Let me just do one last thing."

She presses something on her wrist and says, "So now no one can track me and will think I'm here."

Then she comes closer, presses her body against me and puts her arms around my neck. This made my heart skip a bit and I was ready to be kissed.

But my imaginations were destroyed when she said, "Hey, stop daydreaming and let's go.".

Sighing sadly, I then grab her legs and use my super speed to get us away from the royal palace. Since I had to adjust my speed not to hurt her, it took us a while till we arrived at the oasis, but it was worth it.

Placing her down on the ground, she blinked once. This gave me enough time to place the blanket down, prepare a few drinks for us and sit down on the blanket.

When Shuri finished her blink, she looked around, confused because I had disappeared.

So I say, "Do you search for something important? If it's me, I'm down here." and tap on the free space beside me.

She rolls her eyes and says, "Someday I will invent something that will freeze you and then the jokes are on me." then she sits down and grabs a cold justice.

Whenever you need a guinea pig, I'm available for some experiments." I say and smile innocently.

She just shakes her head and then takes out two sandwiches, gives me one and we begin eating.

As we sat there enjoying the sunset, I got bolder and moved closer to her.

We did not have much opportunity for any intimacy. Because some freak always tried to kill me with a spear whenever I came closer to Shuri.

Therefore, I wanted to feel her affection without worrying if Wanda would get my testament or not.

When our shoulders met, Shuri placed her head on mine and said, "Are you sure you want to be with me? I mean, I'm perfect for sure, but you see how my family is. They are not easy to deal with and will give you even more trouble than now.

Can you live with that? You still have the chance to back out without hurting... me too much."

I turn to her, take her chin in my hand and say, "You know that I was a rebel my whole life, right? I never give up, if I decide on something."

She grabs my arm that holds her chin and looks me in the eyes. I never saw her so vulnerable...

"You promise? If you don't keep your word, I will find something that freezes you for real."

"As long as you want an unemployed freeloader like me, I can promise you that."

This makes her giggle and she says, "Don't worry, I can be your sugar mama if you want and I'm pretty sure my brother will draw you into his new superhero group sooner or later, where you can earn some money."

I've already been asked... so it seems I'm not unemployed anymore.

"Sugar mama? That sounds quite naughty. Can you tell me what they are like?

She comes closer with her face to mine and says, "Hmm, it's better when I show you," and then kisses me.

I kiss her back and we stay like this for a while. Then to make it more comfortable, I grab her by her waist and place her on my lap and she doesn't complain and continues the kiss.

But before we can go further, we heard a booming sound and saw a large fireball rise in the distance. We both jump up and look in that direction.

"That comes from the herb garden! We need to go there. Maybe someone needs our help." said Shuri worriedly.

So I took her in my arms and we arrived there a few minutes later. It was the same place I found the violet flowers.

In the next moment, there was an explosion, this time from the direction of the golden city. We both froze when we saw this.

What the hell is going on?

"Shuri, I will bring you to safety and then help the people in the city."

I can't allow people to die like this again...

But she grabs my hand and says seriously, "Bring me to my lab. I want to help too!"

I nodded and we hurried into the city.
