When I was about twelve years old, I met Shuri online. We became fast friends, and wanted to meet in person. We both got permission for me to visit her in Wakanda. At the time I didn't know that Shuri was the princess of Wakanda. She was glad that I didn't care that she was royalty, and that I treated her like a normal human being. Her older brother T'Challa also like me, I have no idea why though. Maybe it is because that I make Shuri happy. I know I would approve of anyone who made May happy, for the most part. Anyway, back to right now. Tony just asked if I wanted to join him for a visit to Wakanda.

"Of course. Don't worry, May will approve." I told him.

Tony has no idea that I have been to Wakanda before or that I know the royal family or that Shuri is my best friend besides Ned and MJ. I immediately swing home to pack. I pack for month; I don't know how long we are staying. If I know Shuri though, and I know her, I will be there for as long as she can keep me. When Tony comes by to pick me up two hours later, I am bouncing off the walls with excitement.

~TIME SKIP~

When we landed in Wakanda, we were greeted by the royal family. Shuri's mom gave me a hug, so did just about everyone else. That is when Tony caught on to the fact that everyone knew me and I knew them.

"Peter, have you been here before?" He asked.

"What do you think colonizer?" Okoye retorts as she puts herself in front of me, as if she was protecting me from something.

"Okoye, what are you doing?" I questioned.

"Protecting you." She responded.

"From what?" I replied.

"From him." She answered.

"Why?"

"Because I am to protect the royal family, and that includes you."

"I thought that was a joke!" I exclaimed.

"Why did you think it was a joke? There was a coronation and everything." T'Challa wondered.

"You know what? I am going to my room. I am not dealing with this right now." With that I walked off, leaving Tony a spluttering mess.

After stopping by my room to put my bags in there, Shuri and I went to the lab. She shows me the latest tech she has been working on. I gave her some pointers on what she could do to improve it. That's another thing I love about Shuri, she takes pointers, like the one I gave her, very well. She doesn't throw a fit about it like Tony does. After we work on some of her stuff, she asked if she could see my Spiderman suit and my web shooters. I gave her a devilish smile and pull them out. I told her that I have been wanting to get her input on it for some time, but haven't gotten the chance.

She knows that I get hurt a lot. Mainly from stuff that could be prevented with some type of armor. Tony didn't add anything because I gave the excuse of that I didn't want anything to hinder my movements. Which is partly true, but the truth is that I wanted Shuri to do that part. I know that vibranium is the strongest metal there is, and that it is very light weight. Shuri suggested that I needed to add vibranium everywhere on the suit, but I didn't want her to use that much vibranium on me. So, I told her that she could add it to the chest and back, for protection of my organs. That's where I receive the most injuries, and the ones on my arms are normally just scrapes. After she finishes her upgrades to the suit and web shooters, I left to go find and talk to Okoye.

"Hey Okoye. Do you mind taking a walk?" I asked her.

"Of course. I would love to." She responded.

"Do you mind if I ask you something?" I hesitantly questioned.

"I don't mind. What did you want to ask?" She agreed.

"Why did you protect me from Tony when we first got here? And please don't say because I'm the prince. I want the truth."

"There are a few of us that know about the Vulture incident. There are some things that that colonizer did which we don't agree with. If he didn't do those things, then you wouldn't have gotten hurt as badly or at all." She explained.

"Like what?"

"Ignoring you for months, for starters. Then not telling you everything, of how he already called the FBI when the alien tech was being used in the city. Taking away your suit when you were only trying to help, and if you hadn't helped many people would have died. Letting you take down the Vulture by yourself in your original Spiderman onesie." She continued.

"Now that I'm thinking about it. You're right. Why would he do that? I had a freaking building dropped on top of me with no way to call for help. It's all his fault." I burst out in tears.

Okoye just holds me until I stop crying. I asked her if we could go somewhere that Tony wouldn't disturb us. Then we walked to these huts on the outside of the city. I don't question it, just enjoying the peacefulness of it. Then Okoye introduces me to the White Wolf, or as most people know as Sergeant James Barnes. I'm not surprised that he knows what happened as well. I'm surprised by the fact the he immediately hugs me. We spend the next few hours talking. When the sun went down and after watching the stars for a few minutes, Okoye and I headed back to the palace. We skipped dinner, so we went straight to the kitchen. Since Aunt Mat can't cook, I had to learn how and trust me I'm really good at it. Fixing Okoye and I some chicken alfredo, we sit at the counter in there. I told her about how Aunt May was doing. Some people here have met Aunt May over video chat a few times. In return, she tells me about how she has been doing and a few other people that I haven't seen today.

~NEXT DAY~

When I see Tony at breakfast this morning, I ignored him. Shuri caught on to what I was doing and joined me. I mouth to her that we would talk later. She nodded in understanding, probably already knowing what about. The rest of breakfast I just talked to Shuri and T'Challa. As soon as Shuri and I were finished we excused ourselves and went to the lab. We didn't work on anything, we just talked. When Tony came in a few hours later with T'Challa, I gave her a look and she nodded. I said a little loudly that I was going to see White Wolf, as Tony didn't know who that was, but Shuri and T'Challa did. Shuri have her brother a look that said 'just go with it', thankfully he got the message. Tony was confused as to who that was and the looks between the siblings. He probably was confused when I sprinted out of the lab. As I was running, I heard Shuri tell T'Challa in Wakandian (PROBABLY SPELT WRONG, IF SO PLEASE CORRECT ME) that I was upset about what happened with Tony. Yes, I know Wakandian. Shuri taught me when I was here the first time and over video chat. I am now fluent in speaking Wakandian.

When I arrived to James' hut, he was outside feeding the goat. We greeted each other, and I asked if I could hang with him for a bit. We spent some time getting to know each other a bit, and I showed him some things he missed being in cryofreeze. He appreciated the help. After that I bid him farewell and headed back to the castle. Sadly, on the way I tan into the last person I wanted to see or talk to, Tony.

"Hey Peter. Seems as if I haven't seen you since we got here. You doing okay?" He had the audacity to ask me that.

"Am I doing okay? No, I'm not! Mainly because of you!" I snapped.

"What did I do, kid?" he questioned. At that point Okoye and Shuri were there.

"You ignored me for months! You kept things from me! Things that if I had known, I wouldn't done some of the stuff I did! I had a building dropped on top of me, with no way to call for help because you took the suit away! I nearly died because of that! The feeling of my bones being slowly crushed, being alone and suffocating! If you had cared about me enough, you would have told me that you had already had taken care of it, then that would not have happened!" I screamed.

After that I stormed off to my room, I barely noticed that Shuri was following me and that Okoye was keeping Tony from doing so. I collapsed on my bed, sobbing. I felt Shuri's arms wrap me in a hug. A few minutes later, I heard Okoye and T'Challa enter the room. I calmed down a bit, so I could listen to what T'Challa was saying.

"The business Tony and I had to take care of is finished. If you would like Peter, we could make him go home? I don't know how yet, but we can." T'Challa offered.

"Could you?" I sniffled.

"Of course. Shuri, will you hack into his systems and give him reason to go back to New York?"

Shuri just smiles and pulled out her tablet. Within a few minutes she was in and had FRIDAY tell Tony that there was a problem at home that he needed to go fix right away. An hour after Shuri did that, Tony knocked on the door, which Okoye answered. He tried to apologize to me, but I wouldn't hear it. Then he explained that there was an emergency in New York that he had to go take care of. With that he left, and I spent the next two and a half months healing and spending time with my second family.
