Many people had recognized the Stark plane and wanted to meet Tony when T'Challa, along with many army personnel or 'warrior' as he like to call them, came to greet Tony.
The plane slowly descended on the ground and everyone was waiting to greet Stark.
"Hey Guys" Came Tony's voice from inside the plane after which they saw him come out.
T'Challa went ahead with Okoye who was the head of 'Dora Milaje' and hugged Tony while greeting him.
"Welcome Brother...You look a little different everytime I see you, is it my eyes?"
"Ah..Must be your eyes yeah, because I haven't changed a bit." replied Tony with a chuckle.
Tony and T'Challa then went inside the Castle and T'Challa then asked his guards to leave.
"So, Is Father alright now?" Asked T'Challa when he was alone with Tony in the Throne room. Suddenly, before he could answer, a gate at the side opened to reveal Shuri with an indifferent expression.
"Hey, Shuri" Said Tony with a smile as he saw that Shuri was upset that he didn't even call her in a one whole week.
"Tony" replied Shuri with a nod.
"*sigh*....Okay, Come out Old man."
.
.
.
It was night now and T'Challa told T'Chaka about everything that had happened since his rumored death. T'Chaka was angry to say the least as he heard that people were smuggling their vibranium and were also coveting the Throne.
T'Chaka then took T'Challa somewhere and now Tony and Shuri were sitting face to face on a long dining table. Shuri was sitting at one end while Tony was sitting at the other.
Tony was trying every possible way to get her attention, from calling her name to acting as if the food got stuck in his throat and he needed water.
After trying everything he could, Tony put down his spoon and got up while wiping his mouth with a tissue. Shuri noticed him standing up from the dining table and coming up to her.
"Wh..what?" Asked Shuri with a stutter when Tony came towards her and closed in his head towards her to leave just a centimeter of space between their lips.
Shuri's heartbeat suddenly started to go crazy and all kinds of imaginations started to run wild in her mind.
Tony on the other hand just stood there for thirty seconds with an absolute straight face, making Shuri anxious by the minute and leaving her hanging for what she was desperately craving for in the moment. Tony then pulled his face away and started to walk back to his room which he stayed in the previous time.
"Huh?"
In a mere moment, Tony left Shuri flustered beyond control and she was instantly fuming with anger. Her eyes got moist as she got up from her chair and rushed towards Tony and jumped on him. She quickly slid to his chest from his back and without any warning, kissed Tony's lips with extreme passion while her tears started to flow.
Tony wiped her tears gently and as he did so, his fingers started to glow yellow and he slowly whispered in her ears
"I Love You, Shuri…..I Missed you every second in the last week. It was a torture, believe me It was so hard to not rush here to embrace you but I needed to treat your father and you needed to deal with the power struggle in your family. I couldn't call you because I knew that if you had said that you missed me and wanted to see me, then I surely would have left everything and rushed here to be with you…..I am sorry Shuri...Sorry to make you miss me...and Thank you...Thank you for accepting me.."
Tony then took Shuri, who was still clutching on him, to his room and the door closed behind them as soon as he entered with her in his arms.

Next Day, A news traveled in Wakanda that a certain Killmonger had disappeared. Many people were saying that he came to challenge The King but got a cold feet at the end and ran away while some were desperately searching for him.
.
.
.
"Hey Klaw!" Came a sudden voice of Tony startling Ulysses Klaw who was hiding in the Wakandan Forest.
"Tony-" Klaw was about to say something when Tony smacked a gun out of his hand and threw him at the tree.
"Easy there...I just came here to do a little business." continued Tony as Klaw was caressing his back which was struck by the tree bark.
"Business? What sort of business?" Asked Klaw with irritation and suspicion
"Oh a very good business! You just need to do what I say and you'll be a billionaire" replied Tony with a smile.
"What!? Tony, are you joking with me?"
"Joking?" Tony then made a gesture of thinking something and suddenly Klaw's mobile rang twice.
"Done. There, I transferred $500 million in advance"
Klaw's eyes went wide when he saw the number of zeroes in the message.
"Transferred it to your dummy holdings...But well, As I always say, Keep your friends rich and your enemies rich and wait to find out which is which."
.
.

Tony was back in the Wakandan Castle where T'Challa's uncle N'Jobu had formally challenged T'Challa in a ritual battle.
"I don't think you have any right to challenge T'Challa in a ritual battle while I'm still alive, N'Jobu" Came a commanding voice in the hall freezing everyone at their place. A smile crept up on T'Challa's face when suddenly the gate to the throne room was opened and T'Chaka, in his King's attire, came with a dignified look on his face.
"T'Ch..T'Chaka! You...How? This is-"
"What? Surprised to see that I'm still alive? You know, It was very clever of you to poison me so that I couldn't use my powers to escape the bomb blast but your plan had one fatal flaw…*sigh*..Okoye! Arrest N'Jobu for betraying Wakanda and smuggling Vibranium." commanded T'Chaka while everyone was still frozen in shock!
Okoye immediately came and arrested N'Jobu while he started pleading to his brother.
After solving the problem of Wakanda in a day, Tony went to meet Shuri and T'Challa individually and then departed from Wakanda. Shuri and T'Challa saw Tony off with a smile and the Stark Plane suddenly turned into a ray of light which disappeared into the horizon.
"Set Destination - Kamar-taj"
"Jarvis, Has Klaw reached the New York Sanctum?"
[No Sir, Ulysses Klaw is gathering a small militia at the moment]
"Alert me as soon as Klaw attacks the New York Sanctum. Till then show me the Asgardian Teleportation array sequence."
[Affirmative Sir]
[Asgardian teleportation array sequence can only be used to transfer signals to Asgard and their use to transfer objects, living or dead depends upon the cooperation from the other side. The Array is already installed and just needs Host to think of the message he'd like to deliver to Asgard]
"I know that, Jarvis. I still need you to show me the array"
[Showing the Asgardian teleportation array sequence…...]
.
.
.
.
After reading the entire array, Tony closed his eyes and sighed. He made a few changes in the Array and then updated it.
.
.
After some time, An Idiot Klaw attacked the New York Sanctum where Strange was learning the other spells the Ancient One had left behind. Klaw kept Dr Strange busy while Stark arrived in the sky above Kamar-taj and smiled.
[High Energy resonance detected]
"Shhh…..Let's get the Time Stone…."
.
.
.
As Strange was fighting Klaw, he suddenly felt something and his pupils contracted. He used a lethal spell which he was avoiding not to use and teleported all of them to Antarctica. Strange immediately made another teleportation circle and arrived at Kamar-taj Sanctum to find Wong dead and the 'Eye', gone!
.
.
Klaw was in a very bad shape after Strange used a lethal spell on him. He only had regret on his mind as he thought about Tony's offer.
"Remembering me on your deathbed? Well I'm flattered, to say the least." Came a sudden voice of Tony which made Klaw extremely excited.
"Hel..p..Me..To.ny…" Said Klaw while coughing out blood.
"Help you? Do you know how badass you become in the comics? You can become sound! Do you know that? Your powers are comparable to the celestials...too bad that they nerfed you in the movies, man." Replied Tony with a great interest and sympathy on his face.
Klaw didn't understand what Tony was saying and he might never know.
.
.
Tony was again sitting in his plane while a green light was glowing at his face.
"Jarvis, Next stop is Norway."
