Hey guys! This is my first Black Panther fanfiction that I am really excited to write! If you haven't seen this movie or Infinity War, I highly recommend it! Both are fantastic movies! Enjoy! :)
Shuri wakes up to the bright sunlight that shines through the window of her bedroom. She looks at her clock, 6AM, time for her to get up. She groans as she roughly throws the covers off of her and makes her to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower and brushing her teeth, she makes her way to the kitchen and fixes herself a bowl of cornflakes. While eating, she thinks to herself, "What should I work on today?" Ever since her brother, T'Challa, defeated their cousin Erik, things here in Wakanda have been pretty quiet. Not much has happened so there hasn't been much for Shuri to work on. She mostly just hangs out in the lab trying to find new ways to improve her brother's suit. She wants to make sure he has enough power for any danger that comes his way. "Well I guess that's what I will continue to do." She says to herself. She figures that she can just spend at least the morning testing different version of improvements for the costumes. Hopefully she can find something to improve the costume on. After cleaning up, she tips toes down to the laboratory, making sure she doesn't wake anyone up. She is always the first one up since she has to start working on any equipment as early as possible. After reaching the lab, she grabs a stock of vibranium and takes a look at the three sample suits that are hanging. Each of them has some type of improvement which Shuri is not too satisfied with. Neither of the three have any type of contribution to the suit. In fact, they all have made the suit more dangerous for T'Challa. Shuri remembers the time she tried to make the suit have some type of electrical shock feature, but all it did was give T'Challa a minor shock; which Shuri found pretty funny. Recalling that always makes her let out a small chuckle.
"Alright, now let's focus. Need to come up with a way to improve brother's suit," She says to herself.
Using her technology, she uses the stock of vibranium that she grabbed and tests out different features but unfortunately, none of them seem to work. Most of the new features are again too dangerous and risky. Ugh! Why can't she come up with a good improvement? She rests her face on the table and lets out a heavy sigh. Suddenly, she lifts her head up, "Wait, I got it!" She exclaims to herself, quietly. Using some vibranium, she develops a new technology and tests it on the suit. To her delight, she is able to improve the speed of the suit.
"Yes! This new feature can help brother run faster when he is in the suit! I can't wait to show this to him." Her cheeks start to ache from smiling too hard.
Not wanting to wake him up, she continues to work on the other features to see if she can improve on them. She decides to find a way to make the suit stronger and more indestructible. She is very determined to make the suit indestructible to any kind of danger. She wants to make sure T'Challa is ready for any fight that comes his way.
"Shuri?" She turns around and sees her brother yawning with his eyes barely open.
"Hey brother, what are you doing up?"
"I was woken up because I thought I heard you shout. Are you okay?"
"Oh sorry, I was just working on some new features for your suit. I'll show it to you later, go back to sleep." She turns him around leads him out of the laboratory.
She continues to work on ways to strengthen the suit and make it indestructible. The reason she is determined to this suit as strong as possible is because she fears that her brother might die again. Ever since Erik threw T'Challa off the waterfall and almost died, she has been so scared about the same thing happening again. She occasionally has nightmares about it, so she wants to make sure her nightmare never comes true. T'Challa always reassures her that she will never lose him, but she never wants to take that risk. Their mother also wanted Shuri to strengthen his suit because she too is so worried about the same thing happening to him.
As she continues to work on the suit, she suddenly sees some type of purple glow light appear outside the window. Because of her curiosity, she heads towards the window and peaks out but doesn't see anything. She shrugs her shoulder believing it was just her imagination and heads back to her work table. However, at the same time, she believes that purple glow light was real and not her imagination. She thinks to herself, "Should I go outside and check to see if anyone is out there?" She wants to but at the same time, she doesn't want to risk getting hurt. She is smart enough to know when to stay away and when to fight. Her rule for herself is that if everyone else is fighting, she will fight; but if it just T'Challa fighting, she will stay out of it. Maybe she will just tell her mother and brother when they wake up.
While continuing to work on the suit, a shadow figure man appears in the corner; causing Shuri to look up and with a shaking voice, "H-hello? Who's there?" She takes a step forward towards the man. The man turns the other way which makes Shuri's heart beat rapidly and sweat starts to drip from her forehead, and without her knowing she feels the man cover her mouth.
"Shh… we are just going to have some fun, alright?" He says while letting out an evil laugh and grabs the stock of vibranium.
She tries to break free but the man just wrapped his arm around her tighter and he disappears with a now frightened Shuri.
Who is the man who kidnapped poor Shuri? How will T'Challa and the others react to Shuri's disappearance? Find out soon! Please review! :)
