SpiderPrincess

"Mr. Stark! Sorry I'm late, there was this billboard, and I thought it was pretty solid, but when I shot a we—oh, hello," Peter stops apologizing as he realizes there's another person in the lab.

The black teenage girl raises an eyebrow at Peter before ignoring him and turning her attention back to Tony. "As I was saying, if you re-route the wires here, and here, and fortify the suit with Vibranium here, you can increase the structural integrity of the Iron Man suit by 30% and decrease the weight by 20%."

"Wow," Tony says. "That could possibly, definitely work. You know what, I'm going to try it right now. Peter, would you mind showing Shuri around?" Tony says, shooing them out of the lab.

"Sure thing Mr. Stark, what should I—"

SLAM! Tony shuts the lab door in Peter's face, but not before Peter sees the excited gleam in Tony's eye that he gets when working on tech. Peter knows Tony won't be leaving the lab anytime soon, so he turns his attention to the attractive girl in the Nyan-cat t-shirt and jeans. "Hi, I'm Peter," he stammers. "Parker. Parker Peter—I mean Peter Parker!" Gosh, why do cute girls make Peter so tongue-tied?

"Shuri," Shuri replies, grasping Peter's wrist with her hand. It takes Peter a moment to realize this must be what people do in her country instead of shaking hands, as her accent suggests she is foreign. Peter grasps her wrist as well, desperately hoping his hands aren't sweating.

"That's impressive how you were able to help Mr. Stark with his Iron Man suit," Peter says as he lets go of her wrist. "Are you a new employee here?"

Shuri chuckles. "No, I am just visiting. I am a scientist in my home country and wanted to help."

"Way cool!" Peter exclaims. "I want to be a scientist too, but I'm not that good at it yet. I'm only fifteen."

Shuri smiles. "You'll get there," she says, not mentioning that she's only sixteen.

"What country did you say you were from again?" Peter asks.

"Wakanda," Shuri replies.

"Oh, that cool country with all the tech!" Peter exclaims. "Isn't the king coming here sometime soon?"

"King T'Challa is here now," Shuri replies. "I did not wish to go to the UN meeting with him, so I came to see Avengers HQ instead.

"Whoa!" Peter exclaims. Then he realizes he hasn't even shown Shuri around yet. "Um, I guess I should show you around then. Here's some other labs," Peter says, walking with Shuri down the hall. "Here's the kitchen if you're hungry." Peter points out. "And here's the common room."

At this, Shuri perks up. "Is that a Wii U?"

"Yeah, do you play?"

Shuri laughs. "Do I play? You should see how many extras I've unlocked in Mario Kart."

Peter gasps. "No way! Mario Kart is my favorite game!"

Peter and Shuri look at each other. "Want to play?"

Three hours later, Tony re-emerges from the lab to find Peter and Shuri in the middle of an intense game of Mario Kart.

"Ha, a super mushroom! Beat that!" Peter exclaims, as his Yoshi character takes first place.

"Ok," Shuri replies. She hits a button, and the dreaded blue winged turtle appears in the little circle on the edge of Peter's side of the screen.

"No!" Peter shouts. "The finish line is right there. Come on, come on—"

Then the turtle shell dive-bombs Yoshi right before he crosses the finish line, causing Shuri's character of Daisy to cross the finish line first.

"Nooooo!" Peter wails, causing Shuri and Tony to smirk.

"Peter be nice, she's a guest," Tony says, causing the Peter and Shuri to finally notice him.

"How is your suit?" Shuri asks.

"Incredible!" Tony exclaims. "All the updates you suggested work. I think I might even be able to improve it beyond what you suggested, but first, I have a question about the Vibranium. Would you mind taking a look at the suit?"

"Of course," Shuri replies. "Although I do need to leave in an hour or so," she sighs. "Princess duties and all."

Peter frowns. "Princess duties?"

"Whoops, did I not mention King T'Challa is my brother?" Shuri asks. "His UN meeting has just ended," she comments, as a hologram of T'Challa getting in a car pops up out of Shuri's beaded bracelet, "so he will be here to pick me up soon."

Peter just stands there in shock for several seconds. "You're a princess," he finally gasps, as Shuri and Tony head back to the lab to work on some tech together. "I just played Mario Kart with a real-life princess." Peter remains standing and staring at the hallway Shuri disappeared down for a while, unsure what to do next. All he knows is that spending time with Shuri was the most awesome thing ever!
