AN; this is set right before Ororo and T'challa got married, as I'm trying to justify their marriage a bit more. Its short, but thats all I felt like doing. Also done for the mere irony because Panther is now very unstable. DO NOT OWN
As much as they disapproved, they said she hadn't known him long enough, they said they didn't know each other well enough.
Ororo decided to continue with it. She decided to say yes.
He was going to be the one steady thing in her life. The one thing she could depend on. Nothing else in her life was for sure, not the X-Men, not Jean, not Charles, and definitely not Logan.
She may not have been completely head over heels in love with him, but he was stable, Wakanda was stable. There was no denying that.
T'Challa was a piece from her past, a piece she could use to keep herself grounded. Though she'd get many other titles from the marriage, she'd remember little street rat Ororo. And she'd use the power to help other orphans, and mutants too.
T'challa knew this, hell she wouldn't put it past him to have done this because he knew he was stable. He knew about her flirtation with Logan, and the reason they'd not be. He needed a Queen, though. And she needed a rock.
All that being said, she generally cared for the man a great deal; he was attractive and stoic, a bit wild too. He knew her as an adolescent, so he'd seen her at her worst.
She'd marry him. She'd have him.
