Holy Sh** you guys! I officially hit 10,000 views. Which freaks me out so much, but also makes me so happy. So thank you all so much. I feel like it's some dream or prank. You know? Cause why would anyone care about what I write? But you all have been so nice… I digress, back to your normal programming.

I watched the ending of infinity war on YouTube and I'm sad all over again. ThEY better bring back Peter. I also saw something that said it picks up two years later? Is that true?

Enjoy!

Shuri fixes things. She's good at it. She creates and improves and creates again. She has a million projects when she gets back to Wakanda. She had two people, broken white boys waiting to be fixed. But she couldn't handle that. She can't fix people. She fixes things. So they were her projects. Projects, not people. Not the man she had become very close friends with, and a boy who was her age, both of whom were tortured.

No, it's a project. If you think of it as your broken friend you might just break too. And no one is smart enough to fix you. Shuri's thoughts raced around her head. You wouldn't know by looking at her. She was good at hiding stress. Today she sat quietly watching a clip from the rescue where the boy Peter is screaming for help and Bucky tries to attack Steve.

She remembered working so hard to get the programming out of him. Letting let him sleep as she figured out how to recode a brain. She had to think of it like a machine, and a machine can be fixed. But humans can stay broken with no cure forever.

You'll fix him. Just like last time. She couldn't force herself to watch Bucky's feed very long, instead of watching the kid. He's strong, fast. So fast he can't be thinking. They must be using emotions. And emotions are just chemicals and electricity.

She can work with that. But first, she needed to understand the project's brain. She looked knew that the Hydra agents had worked with a serum based on targeting the amygdala, the part of the brain that controls anger and fear. That would make sense with the fast movements, almost animal-like.

She thought of possible ways to counteract that. There are of course the four main chemicals that affect happiness Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins. She dove deeper into the information S.H.I.E.L.D. gave her and found a file with a bunch of videos inside. Two videos per day.

She clicked on a random day, and saw Bucky, with a bloodied face in a dark room that had water filled up to his waist. A clip of Steve and him playing on the screen in front of him.

"It appears the Soldier is not going to just change the memories so we have to create new ones. Alter the way he sees Steve Rogers. Making him the perfect weapon against him." A voice said standing behind the camera.

She clicked off quickly, not wanted to stick around for much torture. Instead, she decided to study on the other Projects abilities and learning if they affect the brain.

That's when she got the notification that there was another video up. She clicked it and watched live as Bucky and the kid spoke.

She became very interested with the kid's story, with everything besides the fact that Peter stopped going to school, which he was top of his class at, three months before he was captured. She knew he didn't like it there so why did he spend so much time there. What was he hiding?

Shuri was a good supervisor. The second her Jet landed she was giving out orders, that everyone followed. Most of the Avengers had yet to meet her. When she got arrived, they barely got to get a good look at her before a wall of guards moved her to the viewing room of Peter Parker.

Where Tony sat waiting. Tony looked her up and down, saying nothing. She raised her hands signaling for the guards to leave.

"Did you collect information on him?" She said nodding towards the glass. He nodded and tossed the file over. Complete with all the information Shuri had gathered herself.

"So you to should have noticed his absence from school starting fourth months ago." She said, "Please look into that while I get started on reprogramming."

Tony sat back in his chair, "Reprogramming?"

"Yes, if I want to reverse what they've done to him, I will do what they did. But better." She responded, looking through the file she had requested them to grab her, full of the list the powers they knew about.

"You're going to torture him?!" He said.

"No! I mean show him a picture of you guys, while stimulating the part of the brain that controls peace and happiness. Then slowly create better memories where you guys didn't betray him and cause him pain. And dull the ones where he was left alone to be torn apart." Shuri said, pulling out her phone.

A guard behind her said, "You are sure he has not shown hostility outside of the Avengers?"

"Yeah, only Thor, Hulk, Cap, Hawkeye, and I. Everyone else he's fine. We have a friend of his on the way from school. Ned Leeds. If you want to speak with him he should be around soon." Tony said, "So are you getting started or…"

Shuri looked up from her phone, "Oh sorry, I was waiting for you to catch up with me. Are you ready for me to start?"

Tony gave a half nod, rolling his eyes. Then walked over to the viewing area taking a seat.

"Peter?" She asked.

He gave a small nod.

"I am Shuri, princess of Wakanda. I'm here to help."
