The Princess and the Spider
Intro and some info:
Time:
The whole thing takes place after Civil War, Spider-Man Homecoming and Black Panther, but before Infinity War. Aunt May forgets about the Peter Parker Spider-Man thing completely and thinks it was just a dream. (I wanted to write this as if Infinity War didn't exist but I wanted to be loyal to the MCU timeline)
Ages:
T'challa: Same age as in Black Panther
Peter Parker: 15 (Same as Spider-Man Homecoming)
Shuri: 15
Tony Stark: Same age as in Civil war
Ned Leeds: 15
Michelle Jones/MJ: 15
Aunt May: Same age as in Civil War
Genre:
Before I start on what genres these fall into, I need to give a small reminder to you guys. I didn't intend for this to be an action story, I wanted it to be a romance story, mixed with a little bit of action and drama. Most of this is speech and conversation, so I don't recommend this if you don't like conversations. Here are the genres:
-Action - 30%
-Humor – 5%
-Drama – 20%
-Romance – 45%
Meant for:
13-17 years-olds
Authors note: I love this ship ever since
Chapter 1: Wakanda Forever
"Welcome home, Princess Shuri," Nakia says, beaming at the sight of her lovely country, Wakanda, home to the world's most advanced tech. Their neon-blue vibranium ship lands in front of a whole Wakandan army, along with Shuri's mother and brother, T'challa. The ship's large doors open as a Shuri steps out, unhappily and ungracefully.
"Welcome back, daughter," Shuri's mother declares, oblivious to Shuri's bored and miserable looks. She walks off to greet and talk to Nakia.
"Welcome back, sister," T'challa greets. "You don't look very happy, what's wrong? Did you not enjoy your trip to New York?"
Shuri looks at her brother disgusted and replies, "New York is so backward! I visited Times Square thinking it would have some advanced technological features but it was just a bunch of big TV screens and tall buildings!"
"Well… Did you manage to talk to Mr Stark about the technological improvements you could make to his suit and the vibranium tech?" T'challa asks.
"Pshhh, ain't nobody got time fo' dat!" Shuri replied, very annoyed.
"Speak English, Shuri. You know we don't understand when you talk like that." T'challa reprimanded, raising his eyebrows.
"Ugh. I won't talk to Tony Stark because he doesn't know much about vibranium, it'll be like teaching a 3- year-old quantum physics."
"What? You didn't talk to him? That was the reason I sent you there! I told you to tell him about our vibranium technology that can enhance his iron suit! What did you do if you didn't talk to him? You were there a whole week!" T'challa exclaimed, shocked and slightly angry with his sister.
"I went off to see sights, buy some clothes and some new shoes for you. Remember those "shoes" that you wore in the lab 2 weeks ago? They were too ugly so I bought you some Yeezys," Shuri replied, proud with her childish decisions.
"What is a Yeezy?" T'challa said, confused. "I am very disappointed in you, sister, I thought you were mature enough to talk to Mr Stark and make wise decisions, I was wrong." T'challa remarked.
"Whatever! Go call Mr Stank, or whatever it was, yourself!" Shuri shouted, handing T'challa a bag that spelled "Adidas" with new white shoes inside. Shuri then walked away, sticking out her tongue at T'challa.
"What is this bag for? What is add-dee-daz? Are these the ye-zees you bought?" T'challa shouted back, looking at the bag.
Shuri turned around, laughed and snapped back, "It's Adidas you uncultured man, and those shoes are called Yeezys."
T'challa stood there, still clueless to what Yeezys were whilst Shuri went back to her lab. T'challa gave up bantering with his sister and just went to his mother to greet and talk to Nakia.
The next day, in the morning, T'challa went to visit Shuri at her lab. When T'challa arrived, he looked at Shuri. Shuri didn't turn around, although she knew T'challa was there.
"Still angry?" T'challa asked.
Shuri looked at T'challa, raised her eyebrows and gave the "you know what you did" look. T'challa knew exactly what Shuri meant and walked up to her and apologized for putting lots of pressure on her. Although T'challa knew Shuri was wrong, he apologized anyway because he knew that was the only way to get Shuri to talk to him. T'challa then invited her for lunch to discuss the Stark tech collaboration. In the afternoon, Shuri and T'challa discussed the situation over lunch.
"Do you understand why we are having a collaboration with Mr Stark?" T'challa asked, just to assure that Shuri knew what she was doing.
"No."
"We are doing this because Mr Stark would like to experience working with vibranium and fusing his technology with vibranium to create the strongest material known to mankind." T'challa replied, patiently. He knew Shuri was going to give a quick snapback.
"Okay. If I can play with his tech and create weird things, I'm okay with it." Shuri replied, calmly.
T'challa was stunned, he was expecting a revolt from her and a quirky insult. This time she seemed so calm, as if something was wrong. T'challa then thought that Shuri may have been excited with new tech and making new things.
"Uh… so you are okay with this?" T'challa said.
"Yeah, I get to work with tech and new stuff, I'll be fine."
"Wow, um okay then!" T'challa said happily, "Get your stuff ready, we're going to go to New York to meet Mr Stark tomorrow."
"Whatever. See you tomorrow then." Shuri replied, walking off to get her stuff ready.
Shuri was more excited than ever, only she didn't want to show it. Shuri had just one wish to make this opportunity better; if there was someone that was her age that would be interested in these things that could do it with her.
