EPISODE 11:

We see the beautiful Black Panther Complex. A number of heroes are running out of the cafeteria.

Tony Stark: "Do I really have to run? Running's not my style."

As he walks at a brisk pace, we see The Thing coming after him. All of a sudden Angel flies from above Stark and lifts him by the hand, pulling him to the sky out of The Thing's reach.

Thing: "Hey! That's not fair. I wasn't after you Angel!"

Angel: "Sorry Thing, I gotta take Tony 'cause we have work to do."

Thing: "Arrgh!"

Thing walks along and tries to search for other guests of the Black Panther/Storm wedding party. Colossus is walking along with Luke Cage. They notice Thing and start running.

Thing: "Hey, come here!"

/

The girls are all laughing as they sit in their robes and sip champagne.

Jubilee: "I am too young for this conversation. So that's why Budapest was such a secret? My God."

Natasha: "It wasn't so bad, as long as you weren't squeamish. Shuri, you alright?"

Shuri looks like she's about to throw up.

Daisy: "I think we should get her some water."

Ororo calls over a servant and asks for a jug of water with glasses and ice.

Kitty: "So Susan, what about you? What have you to reveal to us?"

Susan: "Er, well isn't it your turn? Or Ororo's?"

Ororo: "I'm going dead last, so you ladies keep talking."

Susan: "Daisy?"

Daisy: "I've had my turn."

Susan: "Shuri?"

Shuri gulps some water that has come her way: "My secret is; I'm no hero. And I no longer give a fuck about branching out in the world. In fact I think I want to go home. Your hero life is not for me."

The girls laugh.

Kitty: "Susan? So?"

Susan: "Alright alright, but I don't know what to tell you."

Natasha: "I'm sure we all want to know a specific something. About Reed?"

Susan smiles: "Come on, some of you already know the answer to this question."

Sooraya: "What question?"

Daisy: "Susan's husband Reed, he can er, stretch."

Sooraya: "Stretch?"

The other girls nod.

Kitty: "Mmm, so it can er, I mean it goes…"

Susan: "It, goes, yes it goes. As long as I want it to go."

The girls pause and there is an inaudible gasp.

Daisy: "Can he control it? I mean, does it wiggle?"

Jubilee: "That must be sorta like havin' a long finger up there right."

Shuri becomes nauseous: "Fuck sake. I think I'm going to be sick."

/

Thing: "Gotcha! Ha, you're it!"

Logan: "While I'm on the crapper, really?"

Thing is stood atop a toilet in a cubicle next to Logan's. "Hey don't act like your shit don't stink. And it's your own fault for poopin' in here. Why didn't you go to your room?"

Logan: "Are you still here? I had to go ok, this was the closest shitter. And can you stop leaning on the side of this thing, you're gonna knock it down."

Thing stands upright on the toilet. As he sets to hop off it the porcelain cracks and he makes a thud and cracks a few tiles as he hits the ground.

Thing: "Bye Logan. Enjoy catchin' one of us."

Logan shakes his head: "Fuckin' tag."

/

Bruce Banner, T'challa, Tony Stark and Warren Worthington are in a security room with Reed Richards at the control panel.

Tony: "Didn't you test this in Wakanda already?"

Reed: "We did, but the atmosphere and ground density here are different. It's important that we get the frequencies right in order to ensure we can trap En Sabr Nur."

Tony: "Not impressed Mr. Richards, to do this one day before the wedding. Doesn't seem like you're very prepared."

Bruce: "Tony it's frequencies are easily altered. It's not like we'd need to take the pillars apart. Reed knows what he's doing."

Warren to T'challa: "The pillars are in optimum position for the test?"

T'challa: "Yes. My people put them similarly to how the pillars are in Wakanda. Positioning should be fine."

Reed begins to charge up the shield. "Here we go."

We watch on the monitor as all the pillars remotely communicate with each other successfully.

Reed: "It's working guys."

The gents gather around to view the security shield in action.

Tony: "King Panther, a word?"

Tony and T'challa converse away from the others.

Tony: "You got my plans for the trapping of this guy?"

T'challa: "Yes. I made sure Happy was given access to the modified pillars."

Tony: "Good. I know it might not work, but it's the safest plan B we've got. We all know mutants don't know their own strengths at times, so keeping Nur trapped as best we can is the smartest way to go."

T'challa: "You and Bruce worked on the mechanism to coincide with your sciences. The pillars will respond to direction from your suit?"

Tony: "Yeah, with the help of the vibranium you gave me, that's the idea. Warren helped merge your technology with my suit too. We've made it so we can box Nur in if we need to. Whether he's strong enough to get out is a wait and see."

Bruce calls over; "Over here guys."

Tony and T'challa walk over and Reed explains how everything is in working order and how there is a way for people to get out of the shield's vicinity if they truly need to do so.

Warren: "I hope we don't have to use that. I'm sure Nur will find a loop hole if we have one in place. Literally a loop hole."

Bruce chuckles; "That's quite funny."

Tony: "You laugh at his jokes and you don't laugh at mine? I'm offended."

Reed: "Hey guys what do you say we go get warmed up for football huh? We've got a game after lunch. I propose it's us science guys against the brute athletes."

T'challa: "That's not one of your greatest ideas my friend."

Tony: "Yeah, Reed, are you kiddin' me? Us nerds against the likes of Colossus, Thing and Beast? Not to mention the speed and agility of Parker, Nightcrawler and Gambit. What are you tryna give'm the win?"

Reed proudly smiles: "But, Mr. Stark, we have a Hulk."

Bruce smiles as they all set to exit the security room.

Warren: "Bad idea."

Tony: "Exponentially stupid idea. You're a classic case of science-smart, but not street-smart Reed. I thought hanging out with Johnny would've helped you in that sense."

Reed to T'challa: "We have a Hulk, I've always wanted to say that."

All of a sudden there's a web shot directly at T'challa and we see Peter crawling atop a ceiling. The webbing has the tag patch sticker attached to it.

Reed moves away from T'challa. "Guys move, T'challa's It!"

Reed begins to run as do Bruce and Warren.

Peter: "Sorry Panth', I was dared to lay the tag on you."

T'challa: "By whom?"

Peter: "Wolverine."

T'challa: "But this nonsensical. I cannot be the Usher at my own wedding."

Peter: "I know, that's why it's funny."

Peter exits and we see that everyone else is gone, but Tony's only walking briskly.

Tony: "Warren? Buddy, a little help?"

But Worthington is already gone. Within a few split-seconds T'challa runs behind Tony and tags him with the patch sticker.

Tony: "Oh come on, me?"

T'challa runs off: "Yes and you better tag someone or else you'll be on your feet all day tomorrow."

Tony, under his breath: "God damnit Reed. A game of fucking tag. Why couldn't Cap' be the Best Man."

/

We see the girls lined up on their tummies and under towels. They lay beside one another in threes, within three adjoining rooms. Within their threes they can talk to one another. In the first room, Sooraya isn't on her tummy, nor is she only covered in a towel. She sits on a chair in between Kitty on one massage table and Shuri on the next.

Shuri: "This is the life. We never have time for such pampering."

Kitty: "I honestly don't know if I have ever been so relaxed."

The Wakanda'n servants continue massaging them both.

Shuri: "Sister, you are sure you don't want to join us. I'm sure your God would say it's best to be relaxed before such a big day."

Sooraya: "I'm alright, thanks. You know I still cannot stop thinking about the secrets the girls revealed. I learned so much today."

Shuri: "As did I. But please, no talk of blood ok? I have been sick enough as it is."

Kitty: "Maybe alcohol had too much to do with that Shuri, haha."

/

We see a man with red sunglasses and a cane walking into the main Black Panther Complex. He's at the Reception desk and from over his shoulder we can see Tony Stark tiptoeing.

Matt: "I can hear your heartbeat Tony."

Stark stops tiptoeing: "Alright, you got me." He pats his hand over Matt's shoulder. "How you doin'? Little late to this thing aren't ya?"

The two shake hands.

Matt: "I had a lot of paperwork for my latest case. How are you?"

Tony: "Good, yeah, good. Listen er, we got a game coming up, football, you gonna be able to play?"

Matt: "If we're allowed to use our abilities, yes. But without them I doubt I'll be much use to anyone. Why, are you a team captain?"

Tony: "No, but I probably should be. I'm just going around seeing who's definitely playing." Tony starts walking away. "But you know what, you get settled in. Have some lunch, most of the guys will be in the canteen. Then I'll see you at the game." Tony begins walking off faster.

Matt: "Hey Tony? What's this patch you've laid on me?"

Tony: "Don't know what you're talkin' about Murdock. You must be seeing things." Tony's out of the picture.

Matt smirks: "Nice and blunt as usual."

/

In the next massage room we see Daisy, Jubilee and Mary-Jane. All on their tummies getting massages. We hear sobbing.

Jubilee: "MJ, is that you?"

Daisy pops her head up: "Mary-Jane?"

MJ waves off the masseuse and cries as she sits up, lifting her towel back around her. "Sorry, I'm sorry."

Jubilee grasps her towel as she sits up too, but Quake simply turns on her side and we can see her bare breasts and tummy. Her masseuse continues massaging her as she reaches for her handbag and pulls out a cigarette and lighter.

MJ: "I'm sorry you guys."

Jubilee: "No, it's ok."

Daisy: "Yeah. I mean of course. You still have Pete on your mind right?"

MJ nods as she cries. She sees Daisy casually laying on her side, bare, and averts her eyes.

Jubilee: "Men are just a stupid breed. I mean look at you, he has got everything a guy could want in you."

MJ: "But what is it? What did I do wrong?"

Daisy: "Nothing. I promise, nothing at all. How many times have we blamed ourselves for whatever is going through a man's head? Come on MJ, you can't keep punishing yourself. You don't even know what his problem is."

MJ: "And he won't tell me. It's not only that he doesn't look at me the same way or touch me the same way, we don't even talk anymore. I mean is that normal? Just because we're married, is it supposed to go downhill?"

Daisy: "Don't ask me. My track record with men comes with an expiry date. I always know that going in, but I still do it anyway. And so do they."

Jubilee: "Well duh, if a man can get his hands on those pups then of course he'll have his way with you."

MJ: "And you don't mind that Daisy? You're happy in your life?"

Daisy takes a puff of her cigarette. "Define happy? You got your life MJ and you're not happy. But for me, maybe I wouldn't be happy with the idea of your life in the first place."

MJ: "What do you mean?"

Jubilee: "Hey you're supposed to be gettin' her to feel better here."

MJ: "No please. Be honest."

Daisy waves away the masseuse. "You can go now. And you can stop staring!" The masseuse walks toward the door. As he gets there we see the two other masseuses standing there staring at Daisy. There's a pause in the room as Daisy looks at the three men. They're muscly, hunky and well groomed. Obviously they're staring at Daisy's bare body. "Room thirty seven." All three masseuses comically exit. Daisy looks over to MJ: "I personally wouldn't be happy in your life 'cause I know it's not what I would want. I would get bored. I know you have a job and your partner's a web-slinging superhero, but I guess it would be too bland for me."

MJ: "Ok…"

Daisy: "Take Storm for example."

Jubilee: "Sue or Ororo?"

Daisy: "Well, Ororo in this example. She's gettin' married tomorrow. It's a big deal and she's gonna become a Queen. A legit official Queen. I mean she's already an accomplished woman, she's beautiful, she's an X-Man. But she's going to be a Queen. That comes with constraints, that comes with responsibilities. And don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her, but I wouldn't want her life. I wouldn't care for it."

Jubilee: "Not even to become a Queen? Come on really? I know I'm a little jealous. Wouldn't you wanna be Queen MJ?"

MJ: "Well sure, but I don't think would want to marry T'challa. I find him really intimidating."

Daisy: "But you see my point. Another woman's life may not be the one that's right for you. So you have to ask yourself; is the life you have chosen right for you?"

MJ pauses for a moment. "I thought it was. Peter and I, we've known each other for so long. I was his dream girl."

Daisy: "Was he your dream guy?"

There's a pause.

MJ: "I never really thought about it."

Jubilee: "Then maybe you should. Daisy's right. MJ there's nothing wrong with you. And we know Pete, he's a great guy, really he's nice, a really nice guy. But is he your dream guy?"

MJ: "I don't know. I do know I love him. I wouldn't want to lose him, I do love the life we have built."

Daisy: "'cept he's in a place where he's avoiding your relationship right now. You gotta call him out on it. Get him to tell you what's going on. It's not fair for you to burst into tears in the meantime."

/

Beast and Steve Rogers are playing chess in an artificial communal area outside on the grounds of the Black Panther Complex.

Steve: "I don't know what to tell ya. Magneto has always had in fingers in a lot of pies, but getting access to a rocket launcher? That's heavy artillery and we might be in trouble if they show up with that tomorrow."

Beast: "Gambit is convinced that Quicksilver didn't want to hurt anybody. And the launcher that Magneto used was to break Juggernaut out of prison."

Steve: "Exactly. You don't think he'd do the same thing here? Blow the pyramid to heck and get down to Nur's tomb?"

Beast: "It's possible, but not if we're in the way. Erik doesn't have his powers remember, so I believe he will show compassion. A human quality that remains."

Steve: "You hope."

Matt Murdock walks over: "Who knew Egypt was so hot huh?"

Steve and Beast stand up to greet him. Matt shakes Beast's hand first. We see the tag be passed over, but Beast acts nonchalant about it.

Beast: "Great to see you Matt. How's Foggy?"

Matt: "Foggy's great. He's er, expecting."

Beast: "Oh that's nice."

Matt: "Yeah, he and er, Psylocke."

Steve, shaking Matt's hand: "What? Betsy?"

Matt: "Yeah I know."

Beast: "Do they know about the proposed serum from Moira MacTaggart?"

Matt: "I don't know."

Beast: "Interesting."

Steve: "Man, that's so bizarre. But great, I mean if Foggy's managed to ground Betsy that can only be good for both of them."

Matt: "Yeah definitely." Matt starts to walk backward.

Steve: "Where are you going?"

Matt keeps backing off and picks up pace.

Beast hops away and states: "Tag! You're it Captain America!" Then Beast flees the scene.

Steve watches as Daredevil and Beast run off. He yells after them: "You're running from Captain America! The blind lawyer and the world's smartest blue fuzzball! This day will go down in history!" Steve peels the patch off his shoulder and looks at it in his hand. "Damn it."

/

In the third massage room we see Ororo, Natasha and Susan putting their robes back on after having finished their massages.

Natsaha: "Is T'challa gonna be happy about another man touching you like that?"

Ororo: "Please Nat', my King's paws are the only ones for me."

Susan: "Hey I still can't believe you've never had a thing with Clint. It just doesn't make sense."

Natasha: "Two people can work together, save each other's lives and only be friends."

Ororo: "It's true. It's the same with the X-Men. A number of us were together as a group for years. There was the Logan, Jean and Scott triangle. Gambit and Rogue were always on again off again. Kitty and Colossus. I think I'm losing my point."

Susan: "Exactly, see! How did you not have a thing for him?"

Natasha: "I guess I was never attracted to him. And there wasn't ever any mutual flirting like there was with me and Cap' or Tony and I."

Ororo: "Oh? Something more you want to share?"

Nat' smiles as the three of them exit the room. They step into the hall where we see MJ, Jubilee and Daisy exit their room and further down the hall Shuri, Kitty and Sooraya exit theirs. The girls all mingle as they head toward the changing area and showers.

Susan: "Time for cocktails girls?"

Shuri: "Yes. And a fantastic cheese selection for lunch. Okoye assured me it would be the best."

MJ: "Shuri where's your mom? And didn't Okoye want to join us while we bond?"

Shuri: "My mother is with many other guests and elders. There are a lot of people here for this wedding. Political figures included. She is keeping up more traditional appearances while we have some fun. As for Okoye, this is definitely not for her. Her purpose is to serve so that's what she does. She doesn't like mixing friendship with her duties."

The girls keep walking.

Daisy: "Hey I'll catch up. I just wanna go to my room real quick."

The girls nod and carry on as Daisy turns off.

Kitty: "Three men and a Daisy."

Ororo: "Excuse me?"

Kitty: "Nothing."
