Me:Hello peoples of the interwebs how are you? Peachy? Great…
Anyway welcome to
"Outreach Program: Subsection New York."
Long name I know, but this story will be focused on the Meme Goddess of Wakanda herself: Shuri!
Now I called this subsection New York because, she will be in New York for the time being, getting to work there, and yes T'Challa is having her look at American schools and improve them, by yes attending them first and then deciding what needs to be done.
So who will she be meeting with a good cover for her? PETER PARKER! Yes I am bringing the Meme Lord Science Bros together! Huzah!
Now disclaimers:
I do not own anything, all characters, places, and all that belongs to Marvel Entertainment!
Now shall we begin?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Shuri's PoV
"Brother I understand that you want to help everyone you can, but I don't see why you want me to attend school, we both know I already passed all my classes here, which are much more advanced, with record breaking scores!"
I had been working in my lab when my brother brought me the proposition to go live in New York City for the next year.
Yes, a year. Apparently there was an apartment for me in the Queens district.
"Of course you don't need to learn anything from their teachers, little sister. However I want you to learn about their school systems, to see if we can improve them with our knowledge and technology." MY brother replied walking over to the case with all the different Black Panther suits from each generation were displayed. Even Erik's suit was on display. He may have been misguided, but he was family, and that case was the safest place to lock up his suit.
"What about all of my work? You know I can't work out of any lab!" I tried coming up with different reasons not to go. Honestly I was nervous, living on my own would be a challenge, one I had never faced before.
"Yes I realized that. So when we got your apartment we brought in all the equipment you will need." My big brother smirked
"You really think of everything, don't you brother?" I rolled my eyes
"Yes, including the fact that your next door neighbor is the Avenger Spider-Man"
I smiled at this, I had seen videos of this Spiderman on YouTube, while his tech was definitely out of style old, he seemed like a good person.
"What do we know of him?" I asked
"His name is Peter Parker, he lives in Queens New York with his Aunt May, he is sixteen years old, takes highly advanced science classes for his country, and I think you will get along well with him."
"Alright, I'll go pack my bags, and transfer all the money I will need into American dollars."
"The money is already taken care of sister" he smiled, handing me a piece of flimsy plastic.
"It is called a debit card, here it would only have 100,000 on it. In America it will have nearly two million US dollars on it." He said nonchalantly
"Wow, their money must be worth nothing." I commented
"They work on a system of belief. Their government says that the paper money they use is worth something, and they believe it."
"That is absolutely idiotic."
"Well, go and pack your bags, mother, Nakia, Okoye, and I will visit you at the end of each month to check your progress, and to make sure you aren't in any trouble, now that I think of that, here is a diplomatic immunity card. I expect you will not need to use it to get out of trouble." He finished
I stepped up onto a chair to grab a bag of my tech on the top shelf, and then I got an idea. I turned on my camera and shouted
"THE FLOOR IS LAVA"
Brother looked so confused but I saw the timer on the wall ticking down.
As it hit zero synthetic lava started to flood the ground.
"OW! Shuri Wh- Ow- what is this?" He asked jumping onto a counter.
"It is a meme brother" I shrugged and deactivated the lava
"Delete that video!" He shouted as I left the room
(*≧∀≦*)
Peter's PoV
"Hey! Peter!" Michelle called over to me
"Yeah MJ?" I turned around
"I think you left this" she handed me my mask, which should be in my locker!
"What do you mean, I'm not Spider-Man"
"I never said you were, and yes you are. You guys have the same build, same voice, and you've never been in the same room. D.C. you were gone and Spider-Man was there, same with the night of Homecoming. Don't worry I haven't told anyone." She gave me a small smile
I was completely shocked.
"T-thanks I guess, I gotta go, Stark Internship and all that" I stuttered
HOW DID SHE FIGURE IT OUT! GAH STUPID PARKER!
I walked over to the car Happy sent to take me up to the base, apparently I was supposed to help with a diplomatic mission involving the princess of Wakanda.
Time skip brought to you by the yodel kid meme
I arrived at the Avengers compound to see a giant ship parked on one of the landing pads.
"Oh my Luke Skywalker." I breathed out
"Come on kid, out of the car." Happy opened my door and ushered me inside.
As I walked toward , and the group of Wakandans with him I noticed a car being unloaded from the airship.
"Ah, King T'Challa, this is Peter Parker, the Spider-Man." introduced me to the king of Wakanda
"It is very nice to meet you . This is my younger sister Shuri, she will be the one carrying out our outreach program here in America." The Black Panther shook my hand and gestures to a girl my age. She was wearing black leggings, boots, and a coral top. What I learned something about style when I was, observing Liz's outfits on a daily basis.
"It is very nice to meet you Peter. My name is Shuri as my brother stated, I heard we are going to be neighbors for the next year of our lives." She grinned
"We're going to be neighbors? And this mission is a year long" I asked Tony.
"Yes, didn't you get the packet? I had it delivered to your apartment this morning?" He looked at me strangely
"I left for school early, and I came directly here after my final period" I explained
"I see, yes Peter this is a year long mission, you will be aiding the princess of Wakanda in upgrading our school systems, she will be in the same honors classes as you, and you will share every period with her." Mr. Stark continued to explain
"Oh, ok then" I smiled trying to be as confident as possible
"Shall we Peter? I already had most of my stuff delivered, I can drive us back." She grinned, almost like her face would split into two.
"You can drive? Awesome!"
"Oh brother! One last thing before I go… THE FLOOR IS LAVA!" She shouted and instinctively I jumped onto the ceiling. I also watched as the King of Wakanda and all other Wakandans present freaked out and jumped for safety.
"I like you" she addressed me
"Is this a thing? Like a tradition in your culture?" asked
"It's a meme , but I don't know why they look so scared." My sentence dropped off at the end, as I noticed all of them were looking around frantically
"Oh, it's simply because I developed synthetic lava that I can deploy or retract, it scares them because they've all been burned by it, nothing severe, just a little fun." Shuri started to walk away "and don't fret everyone, the lava is safe in my bags."
Everyone around started to slowly climb off of the counters, still skeptical of their Princess' intentions.
I jumped down and jogged after her.
"So Peter, how would you describe your school?" Shuri asked
"Well, it's ok. The teachers are nice, the classes are challenging for the average student, and we have very diverse clubs." I explained
"What about the community?" She was looking straight forward
"It's pretty good, we have our fair share of bullies but every school does. You usually can make friends relatively easily."
"Good to know." She smiled slightly
As we exited the building she started walking over to the car which had been unloaded, and gestured for me to get in.
I put my backpack in the back seat and got in shotgun, the interior was definitely foreign, there was no USB port so you could plug in music, no radio any American would understand, and the whole black leather interior glowed a blue-purple light.
"What's this little dent for?" I pointed to a small spherical indent on the dark board.
"That is for music, here I'll show you" She smiled pulling off a bead from her bracelet it snapped into place, and a black sand like material formed a music selection connected… to Spotify?
"I didn't know Wakanda had access to Spotify." I stated confused
"Please, we have the fastest internet in the world, you should see it, your cox and centurylink have nothing on Wakandan Internet speed." She laughed
I laughed along, getting a little more comfortable around her.
Then she stopped before starting to speak again, "Peter, I don't want you to treat me differently because I'm royalty. I would rather we get to know each other, than have you be distant because of my rank" she smiled
"Yeah, of course." I smiled back, with that she pulled out and we made our way to the apartment.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Shuri's PoV
The drive back went pretty well, Peter gave me directions, and I recorded the route for future autopilot.
"Aunt May! I'm home! I also met the new neighbor!" Peter called as we entered his home.
"Oh! Well hello there, I'm May, Peter's aunt." A middle aged woman greeted me, she had a warm smile, but her eyes held great sadness
"It is very nice to meet you, I am Shuri daughter of T'Chaka. I'm from Wakanda" I smiled
"Oh, isn't that the country that just opened its borders for the first time? Your people are much more technologically advanced than you let on," she laughed at the last part
"Yes, it was a tradition for my people to stay hidden, but after a situation involving the throne my brother decided that it was time for that tradition to end." I explained
"Your brother?"
"Yeah, her brother is king T'Challa of Wakanda." Peter explained slowly
"Oh, I'm sorry your highness?" May started to panic
"Oh nonononono, please don't treat me any differently than you would! I don't like to be treated as anything special," I explained frantically "I'm going to be your neighbor for the next year, and I would prefer to get to know you." I finished
"Are you sure? Wouldn't your mother or brother prefer that we refer to you by your title?" May Parker asked
"They are not here, and I'm sure they would be fine with it." I smiled, I really wanted to get to know the people, not the personas they put on for royalty.
"Alright then, Shuri. Would you like to join us for dinner, I was going to make something but I worked overtime today and I didn't have time, so we are going to go out for pizza."
"I would love to, just let me go grab a jacket from my apartment, I hear the Septembers in New York can be quite brisk." I pulled the key out of my pants pocket and smiled
"Yeah, we will leave in ten" May smiled and I exited their apartment, walking directly across the hall I unlocked my apartment door.
The inside was covered in traditional artwork from Wakanda, my tech was in heavy crates, the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living room were all furnished with vibranium funtature. It was finally setting in that I was going to be living here by myself for the next year of my life.
I didn't want to think about that too much so I went to my closet, luckily most of my things were unpacked. I grabbed a black vibranium/leather jacket, I designed it to be comfortable, warm, and durable.
I grabbed my wallet, my kimoyo beads acted as my phone but I had acquired an iPhone 8 to help me blend in, so my phone, and quickly swept under my eyes and went back over to the Parker residence.
"Does she know you are Spider-Man?" I heard May ask, good she knew that much at least
"Yeah, her brother is part of the Avengers, and it's because I'm spiderman that she is our neighbor." I overheard Peter explain
"Hey, I'm back" I announced my presence
"Alright, let's go." Peter smiled and we all exited the building
Time skip brought to you by a Pepe
I had expected to get in the car, but apparently we were down the street from "the best pizza in New York" as Peter put it, although I'm sure many Pizza restaurants have made that claim.
"So Shuri what type of Pizza do you want?" May asked me
"Could I possibly get some cheese pizza?" I asked in the corner of my eye I noticed Peter filming me on his phone, "What are you doing?" I questioned
"I'm showing my friends the foreign exchange student that moved in next door" he explained
"Oh, hello Peter's friends" I waved to his phone
"Here you go Shuri," May handed me a gigantic slice of cheese pizza.
"Oh. I just realized I don't have any cash on me, could I pay you back tomorrow?" I asked guiltily
"You don't own me any money, consider this your welcome to New York dinner." She smiled
"Thank you."
We all sat down and ate.
"So Shuri, you will be attending school with Peter?"
"Yes, my brother thought that it would be a good example of the American School," my volume dropped for the next part "and it doesn't hurt to be near an avenger" I smiled
"Oh, the bus arrives at 7:15, but the bus stop is a little bit of a walk, so be ready by 7:10 then." Peter mentioned
"Oh, I was going Otto drive my car to school, I can drive you as well if you would like." I explained
"Yeah, yeah that would be awesome, but we should still leave around 7:10."
"Sounds good," I paused a moment "Peter, how much do you know about chemical engineering?" I inquired after a moment
"Peter is the top student in the science department of his school." May mentioned, a gleam of pride in her eye
"Excellent, I was wondering if you could help me with a side project tonight, it probably won't take very long." I explained
"You like science?" He asked me excitedly, T'Challa must not have mentioned my position
"I am actually the head scientist of the Kingdom of Wakanda, the Black Panther suit, I made it." I laughed lightly
"You designed that!" Peter had this giddy look on his face
"Yes, along with most of the tech he uses."
"Ye-yeah I would love to work with you! Is that ok May? Please, please!" He begged his aunt
"If you promise to stay up no later than 1:30." She stated sternly
"Deal"
We looked at each other excitedly.
(*≧∀≦*)
Peter's PoV
I entered Shuri's apartment to see crates of all different sizes and shapes littering the main room.
"Mind helping me unpack all of this?" She asked as she put on gloves, and pulled off the lid of one of the metal boxes
"Yeah, of course."
We started unpacking, and with the aid of her tech finished setting everything up in half an hour tops. (They're superheroes, stop using logic)
"Alright, so what's the chemical engineering project?" I asked
"These," she threw me a pack of gummies, they didn't have a specific shape, but they looked interesting.
"What are these? Some sort of truth serum or something?" I inquired
"Actually it's just trimethylxanthine, in a super concentrated, non-addictive form, though I've made it in a form safer for consumption then the normal product. It's going to be for students in Wakanda, the finals can be extremely intense." She laughed
"Trimethylxanthine?" I muttered "You mean caffeine? These are super concentrated coffee gummies for students who need to stay up later?" I paused "that is genius."
"Thank you, I still need to work on negating the bitter of the gummy, and figuring out what to flavor it." Shuri explained
"I see, in America we try to mask bitterness in medicine by adding a flavor which contains a strong scent to try to fool the brain, it doesn't work well." I explained
"Interesting, well shall we get to work"
Time skip brought to you by "Roadwork ahead? Yeah, I sure hope it does."
I quietly snuck into my apartment, it was nearly three in the morning by the time Sufi suggested we finish up for the night. I had to get up in a few hours and I was exhausted, but my new friend told me we could test out the gummies tomorrow morning. Well I guess today.
I snuck into my room to find May asleep on my top bunk. I sighed and picked her up gently. I was used to this by now. Once Aunt May found out I was Spider-Man I found her in my room every night when I came back from patrol, and then I would find her asleep on my bunks when I came back super late.
I tucked her into her bed, planted a kiss on her forehead, and went to sleep.

Me: I'm done with chapter one! Huzah!
So I love writing beautiful son Peter who does this sort of stuff for aunt May, and I love my two children.
Anyway should I continue this story? You decide! I am working on Redemption of a Child so don't worry, just trying to get a few chapters written out so I can upload a little more regularly. Life isn't a fairy tail will be continued but again, is on hold for now. I just wrapped up a performance of A Midsummers night dream so now I have a crap ton more time.
Well please let me know what you think, also are you excited for infinity war? It comes out next week! My friends and i are going to see a showing on the 27th at 1:50 because we have our field day that day and it's at an arena right down the street from my favorite movie theater!
Anyway have a great day and stay awesome
