Veil paced his little workshop in contemplation. He was applying to university in America and had no idea what he should do. He knew he wanted to do something with robotics and locomotion, but he also wanted to work with physics and aerodynamics. Maybe he could do it all and combine them.
At that thought Ideas started to shoot through his mind. Hi-tech toys to help children of all backgrounds, cars with far better safety capabilities, even light therapy goggles for eye problems. So many ideas blossomed in his head so he hurried to write it all down. Veil
was determined to see his ideas flourish. He submitted to MIT and several other prestigious institutes, but MIT was his first choice.
"Veilandih why don't you come up for dinner." His grandfather said from the doorway. "Your work will be their when you get back."
Veil smiled before following his elder to the kitchen. He picked up their plates as his grandmother took some bread from the oven. He set them on the table before heading to the fridge for the water pitcher.
"How goes the application work?" His Grandmother smiled at him.
"I'm having a hard time choosing my field of study." Veil sighed setting the pitcher down.
"Robotics has always been your passion, start there and get a feel for school life before pursuing other degrees." She said petting his hair as she passed him.
Veil's grandparents were so proud of him for his accomplishments throughout his school years. He built his own computers with whatever they brought with them from their trips to Wakanda as well as the scrap hardware from their lab jobs, his work table was littered with mechanical sketches of all kinds, and the thing he took the most pride in creating was his own remote controlled recognizer.
His inability to gain friends left Veil with a lot of free time. He was lonely and filled that hole in his life with movies, comic books and video games. He became a recluse and often shut himself up in his room. By the time He leaves for school his grandparents had given up hope of ever seeing Veilandih with people his own age.
Two weeks into his first semester of school he meets an eccentric teen named Anthony, "Call me Tony Coco puff", Stark. The older teen was in his second year of college and had plans to graduate at 17 and have his master's by 19. Veil found the teen fascinating and somehow found himself within the exclusive friend circle of the Stark Industries heir.
"Hey Godiva, Rhodey and I are having movie night you in?" Tony grinned at the the long haired wakandian.
Veil looked up from soldering his midterm project and smiled. He pushed his goggles up and cut the gas on his torch.
"Sure, just give me 15 minutes to finish up this mini light cycle frame." Veil replied
Tony gave the other teen a knowing look.
"You're obsession is showing." Tony smiled.
