Chapter 13: Panther's Quest Part 1
The Avengers were watching a video of the fight between Captain America and Baron Zemo inside the mansion last week, "Sorry Cap but you're taking quite a beating." Reaper said amused at the fight.
Then it showed Zemo about to kill Cap when his Shield came out of nowhere and deflected the killing strike and the camera turned to show a guy in a black cat suit jumping away, "That's him!" Cap said.
"Wait, what am I looking for again? A giant cat?" Asked Wasp as she looked at the video.
Reaper shrugged, "Apparently." This is not how I wanted to spend my weekend. He thought as he yawned, "The question is how he and Zemo got into the Mansion in the first place."
"It was a man." Cap said, "Can the projectionist make this brighter?"
The other Avengers looked at each other before Iron Man spoke up, "Uh… Sure, Jarvis run a full spectrum analysis, will you?" As it zoomed in he spoke up again, "And make it brighter."
As it showed the figure and the costume Reaper nodded, "Well you have to admit for a cat suit he does a good impression of a ninja." He said knowing that breaking in here was no easy feat.
The suit was giving off weird waves of energy, "Look at that, whatever he's wearing it's absorbing to all energy spectrums." Hank said impressed, "And what he did to Jarvis, the person still doesn't register to there being more than one person there."
Iron Man sighed, "All right fine, I'll admit that whoever this intruder is he's got some okay technology."
Reaper coughed to hide some laughter and Iron Man gave him a small glare but Cap spoke up, "All I know is this man in black saved my life; he's an ally not an enemy."
"Intruder alert!" Cried out Jarvis and every Avenger with the exception of Thor who was somewhere else at the moment took off to see the cat ninja on the gate.
"So he's not an Avenger." Cap asked as the ninja ran at them.
"Definitely not!" Iron Man said as they moved.
But his claws sliced through Iron Man's front armor which surprised him so Reaper took off with his scythe out but the ninja flipped over him twisting his arm and kicking Reaper away like a bothersome fly.
"Shield generators offline." Jarvis said as Iron Man tried to get up.
Wasp flew in as the ninja pulled out some purple looking stones that glowed and shot her stingers at him, "Think you're fast? Dodge these!" Then she realized they weren't doing anything, "What happened?"
Hank was on an ant as she asked that, "Well he didn't dodge them, I did mention that his suit seemed to be absorbent to- WATCH OUT!" He and Wasp moved out of the way as the purple stones nearly hit them.
Cap tackled him but the guy did a backflip landing on his feet, "I guess that cats do land on their feet." Joked Reaper.
"Seriously what is it with you making puns these days? When we met you just wanted to hurt the bad guys?" Asked Iron Man as he got up.
"It's called Witty Banter." Scoffed Reaper but he was wondering why he was doing that as well.
Cap threw his shield but the ninja pulled a Matrix move bending backwards as the shield flew past him, hit the wall and came back to Cap who caught it.
Then the ninja realized that ants were crawling all over him and Reaper shuddered, "Geez, Wasp, remind me not to make an enemy of Hank." He really didn't want ants crawling all over him.
"Noted." She said.
"Now are you ready to talk about this?" Asked Hank but the Ninja just pressed something on his suit and a sonic vibration went out causing the ants to get knocked off.
Reaper covered his ears, "So you want sonic vibrations huh?" He drew a big breath and everyone covered their ears except for Cap who didn't know what was going on until he let out a wail of pure death at the ninja knocking him back into the wall.
Hank was surprised about something else, "That sound, its Vibranium!"
Wasp flew in, "You know what? I've had just about enough of super tech cat ninja guy!" She shot her stingers at him but the ninja crawled up a wall so Hank went giant and tried to grab him.
The Ninja jumped and ran down Hanks arm and kicked him in the collarbone before he punched a muscle on his arm and ended with a kick to the underarm and his knee causing Hank to fall down.
Did he just hit Hank in his vulnerable pressure points? Thought Reaper in shock as he readied his scythe but Iron Man had a rocket pointed to the back of his head.
"Don't even think about it!" He ordered and the ninja guy looked at everyone around him.
"Enough!" He said as he put his hands behind his back.
"What's your game mister?" Asked Cap with narrowed eyes, "You saved my life, and then attack us and now you think we're going to believe that we're going to surrender?"
"I am not surrendering Captain, I have simply seen enough." He said calmly and Reaper couldn't help but be impressed at how calm he seemed to be from everything that has happened, "I wanted to assess your abilities first hand." With that he pulled off his mask to show the face of a young African American adult, "I am T'challa."
Hank's eyes widened, "The Prince of Wakanda?" Now Reaper was surprised.
"Prince?!"
"But what are you doing here?" Asked Hank as though Reaper didn't interrupt.
"… I need your help."
Reaper let his scythe disappear, "Well excuse me your majesty, but you have a weird way of asking for help." He muttered.
In a minute they were all back in the meeting room, "What do you need our help for?" Asked Wasp, "You kind of mopped the floor with all five of us."
Iron Man coughed, "Well uh for the record I was kind of holding back." He said.
"You mean before or after he sliced part of your armor and you stayed down for the rest of the fight?" Asked Reaper and Iron Man's faceplate came up to glare at him, "What? It's true."
He ignored Reaper, "But Jan's right, we're kind of busy with an army of escaped super villains."
"My country has been overthrown by such a villain, a brutal fiend called Ubaku the Man Ape; I need your help to get past the Wakandan People so I can restore the thrown!"
Cap stood up, "Get past the Wakandan People? If your people are following this Man Ape of their own free will then that's the end of the story. That's what the people want."
Reaper had to agree with Cap but T'challa wasn't finished, "You do not understand!" He walked away to look out the window, "The people are the problem, they follow the old ways."
"Old ways?" Asked Reaper
"Yes the old ways, Man Ape defeated my father in combat, so they feel they must follow him, no matter if it destroys everything and the Man Ape will destroy everything!"
"I don't get it." Wasp said scratching her head, "I'm sure he's bad news and all but how will he destroy everything?"
Reaper shook his head, "Anything that anyone does can destroy everything Wasp; think about it like this, what a villain will do to get what they wants? There is no limit to what they would do especially if left unchecked."
"He is correct." T'challa said giving Reaper a look.
Hank turned on the holographic computer and a picture of a rock came up, "Vibranium, I've studied it first hand, it's nothing to mess around with."
"And legend says that Wakanda is sitting on a mountain of it." Iron Man finished.
"The Vibranium Mound, it is our treasure, and our responsibility so for centuries we've defended it against any that would exploit it." T'challa said.
Hank shook his head, "That kind of resource should belong to everyone; Vibranium has the potential to change the world."
"I agree, but not necessarily for the better." As T'challa said that he glared at Iron Man who scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Uh yeah, Stark Industries investigated in the possibility to use Vibranium to make weapons." Now Hank was glaring at Iron Man, "It was a long time ago, my people tried to deal with King T'chaka, where is he now?"
At that T'challa looked down and Reaper put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry."
"If this Man Ape is going to put lives in danger then we have to do something." Cap said.
T'challa pulled something out, "Lives are in danger Avenger, computer satellite view of Wakanda!"
Now Iron Man was shaking his head, "Wakanda can't be seen on satellite trust me, I tried." Then it came up.
Reaper smirked, "That has to hurt your ego Tony." He teased.
"Okay Grim Chicken." Now Reaper was glaring at him before he remembered one of his powers.
"You know I can always overshadow you and make you do something embarrassing." He said with an evil smirk.
"Overshadow?" That term was new to the Avengers since Reaper never told them.
"This!" He turned intangible and took over Tony's body and his eyes were now red.
"Tony?" Asked Hank.
Reaper, in Tony's body smirked, "Hi I'm Tony Stark the most idiotic playboy in the world!" He said in Reapers voice before he flew out.
Tony was now looking at Reaper in horror, "Don't ever do that again!" He said while Hank and Wasp were coughing to hide their laughter.
"Then don't bring up that incident ever again!"
"Are you two done?" Asked T'challa but he didn't wait for an answer, "Zoom in!" It showed the country itself and now Tony looked at him in surprised.
"Okay how exactly do you know my system inside and out?!"
"I've studied them… Inside and out!" T'challa answered and not it was showing goons mining Vibranium.
"Hydra." Growled Tony, "That's the Grim Reaper one of Baron Strucker's Lieutenants!"
Reaper smirked, "A Grim Reaper you say? Oh I'll show him who the true Reaper is."
"But who's Abe Lincoln there?" Asked Tony, and the attention was brought to the scientist with a mechanical arm.
Hank answered, "I've met him, Ulysses Klaw he constructed a weapon that turns Vibranium into a Sonic Weapon."
Then Cap looked at another guy, "Why does that guy look like a blue vampire?" Immediately Reaper looked to see Vlad Plasmius there as well.
"Never met him-." Iron Man started to say but Reaper slammed his hands on the computer.
"THE HELL IS HE DOING THERE?!" He shouted his hair turning to flames in front of the Avengers.
"You know that guy?" Asked Hank cautiously because Reaper was pulling a Hulk tantrum pretty well.
Reaper breathed deeply trying to calm himself down, "Sadly yes and I have history with him let's leave it at that."
"What kind of history?" Asked Iron Man.
"History that's none of your business!" Snarled Reaper and he summoned his Scythe.
Wasp blinked, "Sooo. Who's up for invading Wakanda?" She joked.
Reaper wasn't listening. Vlad is going down and I'm going to make sure of it! He thought in pure rage.
To Be Continued…
Oh boy I bet you can see the showdown that the next few chapters will come down to right?
