Chapter 38: The Devastating News

Today was another day in Queens as everyone goes on with their day, whether if it's going to work, or staying home. Peter, in his Spidey suit, was patrolling around the neighbourhood and hasn't stopped any crime yet. While swinging around the city, his AI Karen comes online.

"Peter, you have an incoming call," Karen informed.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"Shuri of Wakanda. Would you like to answer?" Karen replied.

Peter lands on a rooftop of a nearby building.

"Answer the call please," said Peter.

Karen obligated and answered the incoming call.

"Shuri, it's good to hear your voice. What can I do for you?" he asked.

"Peter? I have some sad news," Shuri replied in a cracked voice.

"Slow down, Shuri. What's wrong?" asked Peter.

"T'Challa passed away. My mother told me this morning when she went to find him," she replied.

Peter felt his heart breaking into a million pieces. He hoped that he heard it wrong.

"Peter? Are you still there?" asked Shuri.

Peter removed his Spidey mask, unable to reply. He suddenly falls on his knees and broke down into tears. He didn't know T'Challa for that long since they fought side by side against Captain America in Germany until they teamed up with the Avengers in their final stand against Thanos and the Black Order.

"Karen, end the call. Please," said Peter in a cracked voice as he put his mask back on.

"Is there anyone you would like to call, Peter?" asked Karen.

"Would you call MJ, please?" he asked.

"Certainly, Peter. Calling MJ," replied Karen.

"Hey, Peter. What's up?" asked MJ as soon as she answered.

"MJ, would you come over to my apartment? I got something I need to tell you," he replied.

"I'll be there in fifteen minutes," she said as she hung up.

Fifteen minutes later, MJ arrived at Peter's apartment and unlocked the door with her keys.

"Peter? I'm here," she said as she entered.

He doesn't reply and sobbed uncontrollably with his hand covering his eyes. MJ is concerned as she sat down beside him.

"Peter, what is it? What's wrong?" she asked.

"King T'Challa of Wakanda is dead," he replied as he looked up and looked at her in the eyes.

MJ gasped. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She has heard stories about T'Challa being crowned as the King of Wakanda after the death of his father T'Chaka.

"Oh, Peter. I'm so sorry," she said as she hugged him.

Peter continued to cry, unable to hold on to his tears anymore.

The next day, the citizens of Wakanda announced that there will be a funeral for T'Challa and Shuri invites Peter to attend the funeral and pay his respects to T'Challa. Peter puts on his suit and tie before Karen calls him.

"Peter, Shuri has arranged a transportation for you to get to Wakanda. Will you accept?" asked Karen.

"Accept it, please," replied Peter.

After Peter puts on his suit, he steps out of his apartment and heard a transport in the air before it landed and the rear doors opened.

"Are you Peter Parker?" asked Everett Ross, a CIA agent and T'Challa's friend and ally.

"That would be me," replied Peter.

"Get on board. We're heading to Wakanda," Agent Ross ordered.

Peter boarded the transport as it took off before heading to its destination, Wakanda.

After an hour and fifteen minutes of flying from New York, the Wakandan aircraft enters the barrier that's protecting Wakanda. Peter gets up from his seat and he was amazed by the sight of Wakanda. The aircraft then makes a landing and Peter and Ross stepped out as the rear doors opened.

"Shuri?" asked Peter as he met face to face with the princess of Wakanda.

"Thank you for coming, Peter. I'm really sorry I had to get you out at this time," Shuri replied.

"No worries, it's fine. At least I can do is pay my respects to the king of Wakanda," said Peter.

Peter followed Shuri to the church where the citizens of Wakanda sat down and waited for the funeral to start.

"Good day, citizens of Wakanda. Today, we are holding a funeral for T'Challa, the king of Wakanda and the successor of our original king T'Chaka. As you all know, T'Challa had made hard decisions to prevent Wakanda from starting a war. He then made a decision to open Wakanda to the rest of the world in hopes that Wakanda and the world will work together, just like King T'Chaka had wished. And now, I would like to invite Queen Ramonda and Princess Shuri to come up and say a few words," the pastor stated.

Peter looked up as the mother and daughter stood in front of the altar.

"My son T'Challa was the best king that all of our people could ask for. One day before he became the king, my husband, T'Chaka, and I would always talk about that one day T'Challa would become the successor and ruler of our country. After T'Chaka's untimely passing, T'Challa then became the next king of Wakanda. T'Challa gave his heart to protect the people of Wakanda and ensure that no one would sit on the throne," Ramonda started.

"As my brother said before his passing, In my culture, death is not the end. And he was right about it. Death is not the end for our African culture," said Shuri.

The funeral then ended, Shuri and Ramonda walked to the coffin and they placed their hands to pay their respects to T'Challa, followed by Okoye, the general of Dora Milaje, and Peter followed suit and placed his hand on the coffin.

"Goodbye, my king," Okoye stated in Xhosa, the traditional language of Wakanda.

"Goodbye, T'Challa. You were the best ally I could ask for," said Peter.

And that is the end of the thirty-eighth chapter. So what did you guys think? It took me for a while to think of how to write this. And it's almost been a month since he passed away. Rest In Peace, Chadwick Boseman. You will be missed, but not forgotten. I want to ask you guys this. What was your favourite movie that you loved watching Chadwick Boseman in?
