Guys, guys!

Ya'll smart, I'll give u that, cause, when I first wrote the draft for this story, Alexandra was indeed going to be preggers, and then when I reworked the direction of the story I figured that it was too soon for her to be preggers cause i need a few stuff to happen first, so, you guys were right (sort of) that our girl would have been preggers at this point of the story if I hadn't changed things cause the Powers That Be needed other things to happen first, but don't despair, the pregnancy will come later on, (Oh yes, I have the whole thing outlined already)

So yeah, tis was merely a tease.

Love you guys

Alex.

The next few days were dedicated to Sokovia's paperwork and whatnot until Alexandra remembered something very important and called Thor and Tony to her office. They arrived confused as to why she was calling them.

"Any of you fancy a trip to South Africa to capture Ulysses Klaue?" she asked as they walked in, Tony looked at her confused.

"Why?"

"I had forgotten about something important and remembered while filing paperwork, I need to speak to King T'Chaka of Wakanda, Klaue and the stolen vibranium will be my peace offering" She explained.

"Who is this king you speak of?" asked Thor.

"King T'Chaka of Wakanda, Wakanda is a 'supposedly' third world country, its 'main' source of income is agriculture, but their real strength actually is their vibranium and technological prowess, everything else about Wakanda is a front, they are possibly the most technologically advanced country in the world and they are home of their legendary warrior the Black Panther, the Panther usually comes from the royal line but can be contested in succession, Wakanda is also home of the Dora Milaje, an all females army, much like Asgard's Valkyries, the royal line is also in danger because of a mistake that King T'Chaka did years ago" she explained, Tony and Thor exchanged glances.

"Alex, I'm concerned about your health" said Tony after a while, Alexandra smiled at him.

"I'm completely fine dad, but, like I said, I need to speak to T'Chaka and Wakanda is not fond of outsiders, hence Klaue and the stolen vibranium, it will buy me at least temporary sympathy"

"Who will you go as?" asked Tony, Alexandra looked at him confused.

"What?"

"Will you go there as Alexandra Stark or as Queen of Asgard?" Tony asked and Alexandra suddenly understood that he was implying a diplomatic visit.

"I will go as Alexandra Stark, Queen of Asgard, I am one and the same," she said; Tony nodded.

"So you need me and Thor to get Klaue and the vibranium, do we need the team?" he asked, Alexandra shook her head.

"This is more of a personal mission, if asked, say that this is between Asgard and Wakanda" she said, Thor and Tony nodded before leaving.

Alexandra sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

"Friday, Jarvis, I need you to put a search for Erik Killmonger or Erik Stevens, I want to know where he is 24/7, file that to my personal server too and if the opportunity arises, he needs to be eliminated, promptly" she said after a while and then returned to the paperwork deciding not to think much about Erik, it simply needed to be done.

Tony and Thor returned several hours later to the tower with an unconscious, bound and gagged Klaue and the entire shipment of remaining stolen vibranium. Alexandra directed Tony to place Klaue in one of the Hulk proofed cells and checked him for any trackers, when she and Tony found none they left him.

"You know, I always wondered about Wakanda" said Tony as Alexandra sat in his lab while they worked a plan to get in contact with T'Chaka, Thor had decided to take a nap upstairs.

"From what I could see it's a really advanced place, almost like Asgard but in development where the golden city grew stagnant" Alexandra said, Tony seemed interested enough, "You'd like princess Shuri, she's the resident genius and I think she is in charge or will be in charge of the design division of Wakanda"

"She seems like an amazing woman" Tony said, Alexandra snorted.

"She's most likely fourteen"

"All good geniuses start young"

"I was thinking that Heimdall could drop me and Klaue near the border of Wakanda" Alexandra said after a while, Tony frowned.

"Thor is going with you" he said, Alexandra opened her mouth to protest but Tony gave her a look, "Look, Wakanda is very secretive and I'm not about to send my only daughter to a foreign kingdom without protection, I learned that the hard way"

"Dad, what could they possibly do to me in Wakanda? They won't have me marry their prince if that is what scares you" she said softly, Tony laughed.

"I know that, but I worry kiddo, so let Thor go with you, they'll probably like him better than me anyways" Tony said, Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"They would be lucky to have you visit dad, you're the best," she said, Tony grinned.

"When are you planning to go?" Tony asked after a while, Alexandra shrugged.

"Tomorrow? I don't know, the fastest I go the better, there's also my upcoming trip to Asgard, Thor and I will visit for a week to see if they've found anything about the mad titan, if he does come to earth we will need Wakanda too" Alexandra said, Tony nodded.

"I won't let him hurt you, kiddo"

"I know" and that's what scares me.

Next morning Alexandra was up early, she grabbed one of her golden Asgardian dresses with red accents and dressed herself accordingly, she was fixing her dress in front of the mirror when Thor walked behind her and placed a small golden circlet on her hair, she turned to smiled at him and he kissed her good morning.

"Hi" she said softly, a smile on her face.

"My queen" Thor greeted and she pulled him down for another kiss, "If you keep this up, Alexandra, we won't visit that country today" Thor murmured against her lips as he pressed her body against the nearest wall, Alexandra smiled into the kiss before pulling away.

"Hush it you" she said with a grin, "duty calls" she said trying to push Thor out of her way so she could fix her makeup.

After twenty more minutes of playful banter and kisses she and Thor walked out of their room, Alexandra looking every inch the Queen that she was and Thor standing tall and proud next to her. Tony was waiting for them on the Asgardian pad that he had designed so the bifrost stopped ruining his carefully designed floors. Thor handed Mjolnir to Alexandra and carried the unconscious body of Klaue and the crates of the remaining vibranium as if they weighted no more than a few pounds and called on Heimdall.

Heimdall dropped them near the borders, Alexandra and Thor having to walk a few miles before reaching the border tribe led by W'Kabi.

"What do you seek?" asked W'Kabi warily as he eyed Alexandra and Thor.

"I am Queen Alexandra Stark, this is my husband King Thor Odinson of Asgard, we wish to speak with your king," she said firmly, W'Kabi glanced at her and then at Thor.

"What is he carrying?" asked W'Kabi, Thor threw Klaue to the ground so W'Kabi could see him.

"A peace offering" Alexandra said, W'Kabi's eyes widened when he saw Klaue.

Alexandra and Thor waited patiently as W'Kabi got in contact with the royal family, soon enough the royal jet descended by the plains of the border tribe. Alexandra watched as T'Chaka walked out, followed by T'Challa who was wearing the Black Panther habit minus the helmet, which he carried in the crook of his right arm. Four Dora Milaje accompanied them.

"You wished to speak to me?" asked T'Chaka, Alexandra nodded, "Well then speak girl" he said, Thor took a threatening stance.

"She's Queen of Asgard, mortal, and you will respect her as such" he said and thunder, resounded in the distance, the Dora Milaje exchanged wary glances, Alexandra placed a hand on Thor's arm.

"Hey" she said softly, "I've got this"

"King T'Chaka of Wakanda" she started, T'Chaka nodded, "I am a seer, and I've seen Wakanda in my dreams, your country and your family are in danger" she said firmly.

"In danger you say?" he asked.

"Yes, let's say that your biggest mistake might come back and destroy everything you've worked for, I ask for us to speak in a more private place, you could bring Zuri with you" Alexandra said, T'Chaka's expressions were calm and collected, "We've brought you an offering to show our goodwill towards you and yours, at your feet you have Ulysses Klaue and what was left of the vibranium he stole"

T'Chaka eyed the bounty uncertain, but gave the signal and the Dora Milaje picked it up.

"You will follow me" he said at last, Alexandra and Thor exchanged glances before following T'Chaka into the jet.

They were flown into Wakanda, Alexandra marveling at the beauty of the country, although to her nothing could compare to Asgard. The jet descended in Birnin Zana, the heart and capital of Wakanda, right in the courtyard of the Royal Palace. Thor helped Alexandra out of the jet and they were greeted by more guards of the Dora Milaje and the Royal Guard, Queen Ramonda and Princess Shuri.

"Welcome to Wakanda" Queen Ramonda said when Thor and Alexandra reached her, Alexandra smiled at the other queen and nodded.

"Your country is beautiful" Alexandra said, Queen Ramonda smiled, Thor also greeted the Wakandan Queen accordingly.

Soon enough they were led into the palace, Thor walking menacingly next to Alexandra; Tony had warned the thunderer that should anything happen to his daughter in their visit, there would be nowhere that he could hide, not that Tony needed to threaten him as Thor was sure that he would fight anyone for his Queen, Alexandra was his.

Alexandra for her part walked the entire way talking to Princess Shuri, the young Asgardian Queen and the even younger Wakandan Princess found it easy to talk about the world and technology Alexandra referring to her father, the best dad in the world, and his genius, while Shuri told her of her ideas and inventions.

"Queen Alexandra, whenever you are ready" said T'Chaka, as he was to lead her and Thor to his private office where they could talk.

Alexandra nodded at him and then looked at Shuri and smiled, "It has been a great honor to meet you Princess Shuri, I do hope we can keep our communication"

"Thank you Queen Alexandra, I hope so too" Shuri said, Alexandra smiled once more before she and Thor followed T'Chaka through a long hallway.

T'Chaka led them to a well furbished office, Alexandra and Thor took the seats in front of the desk and T'Chaka then walked in, closing the door behind him, leaving Okoye and Ayo outside. He took his seat behind the desk and regarded the Asgardian monarchs.

"This is an unprecedented situation, I believe" he said, Alexandra nodded.

"The moment calls for it" Alexandra said, she looked at Thor and then back at T'Chaka, "This is the moment in which Earth needs to stop its petty squabbles and wars and we must worry in the bigger threat"

"I thought you we're here speaking for Asgard" T'Chaka pointed out, Alexandra raised an eyebrow.

"And we are, but I was born and raised here on Earth, as were you, this is a matter that not only involves earth or solely the nine realms but the galaxy as a whole, our entire universe is in danger" Alexandra said decidedly, T'Chaka frowned.

"What could be possibly powerful enough to warrant a threat to the entire universe?" he asked.

"You've heard of gods powerful enough to level entire cities, we've all learned out myths and legends, this being is a Titan, and a mad one who seeks to 'balance' the universe by killing half the population that inhabits it, he is deluded thinking that it could have worked for his people it would work for the entire universe, he sees himself as a merciful God" Alexandra explained, T'Chaka seemed to consider her words carefully.

"A Titan, and he has the power?" T"Chaka asked.

"Not all" said Thor, "He's searching for the infinity stones, if he manages to collect them all, he would become too powerful for us to deal with him,"

"He is powerful by his own, yes" Alexandra said quickly, Thor and T'Chaka looked at her, Thor with concern etched upon his face, "But he does not hold any of the stones yet, he had the mindstone but he gave it to Loki to reclaim the tesseract and we know how that ended"

"And where are this stones?" asked T'Chaka.

"We currently have one in Asgard, another one in a pocket dimension that moves around" Alexandra explained, leaving out that thanks to Frigga, the Aether could only be reached if the four (Frigga, Loki, Thor and Alexandra) were together when the spell was cast, "We recently got one in custody waiting to destroy it, another is under the custody of the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, while another is being kept and secured by Xandar"

"Xandar?"

"A planet of the Andromeda Galaxy, it belongs to our universe" Alexandra said and T'Chaka's eyes widened.

"How is it that you hold such knowledge?" he asked.

"I am a seer, in my dreams I see future and past events, I've seen everything and believe me it's not pretty" Alexandra said ominously, T'Chaka glanced at Thor who nodded. "Including your Nephew, N'Jadaka who will not hesitate to kill you and your family for you killing his father when he was a child"

"I had to leave him" T'Chaka said brokenly, Alexandra's eyes hardened.

"Did you? He was a child that you denied of a father, sure he could have gone a whole 'nother way about it, but now he's filled with hate and desire of vengeance, his entire life he's been preparing himself to kill you, dethrone you and your family, and use Wakanda's vibranium to further conflict in the world, all because you decided to kill N'Jobu instead of talking, you could have pushed the gun out of his hand or something, not outright kill your brother" Alexandra said heatedly, Thor's eyes widened as he heard Alexandra tell it to T'Chaka.

"I've asked for forgiveness, every day of my life, he was my own brother" T'Chaka said, tears in his eyes and sounding defeated, that didn't deter Alexandra.

"Forgiveness didn't bring N'Jobu back, nor it helped N'Jadaka when he was being oppressed for having a darker skin color in a place where racism runs amok, your actions turned your nephew into a sociopathic murderer driven by revenge and trust me, as it pains me to say it, he will be dealt with, but not because of you, but because of your family, because Prince T'Challa deserves to have his rule uncontested by a monster that your actions created, and because Princess Shuri is a bright young woman that can bring so much to the world, not only Wakanda" She said, breathing heavily by the time she ended, T'Chaka looked down to his hands.

"Forgive me" T'Chaka said softly, Alexandra gave him a sharp look.

"It is not us that you need to ask for forgiveness, I believe we are done here" Alexandra said standing, Thor stood after her, she looked at him and nodded.

They stepped out of the office, Okoye eyed them warily as they walked back to the throne room, Alexandra smiled sadly at T'Challa and Shuri before she and Thor walked to the courtyard and he flew them somewhere where Heimdall could beam them back to the tower.

"Do you think I did alright?" she asked Thor once they were at the tower again, Thor looked at her and sighed.

"You, my Queen, are burdened in a way that I am not sure I can truly help you, it saddens me to know that you've seen all that betrayal and destruction" he said softly holding Alexandra's face in his hands, his thumbs caressing her cheeks, "Ruling is hard enough, without the added knowledge that you possess, and I cannot imagine how it feels to know what might come to pass, what you said to the Wakandan King was what he needed to hear, his people, his advisor would have never told him the words you did because he is their king and they believe him to be all knowledgeable, just let us hope that he reflects on your words and act accordingly" he said and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"We need to go to Asgard," she said after a while, "We sent two prisoners and I'm sure the Sokovian Authorities will want them back one day"

"There's also the stones" Thor reminded her gently, she nodded and sighed leaning into him, he hugged her tightly.

"I'm going to need a whole month of vacation after all this" she said into his chest, he chuckled.

"We still have time, don't we?" he asked, Alexandra nodded.

"We have enough, Wakanda will reach back and we will need to speak to the sorceress of Kamar-Taj, it would be great if we could speak to the Nova Corps and get in contact with the Guardians of the Galaxy, we're going to need a War Council" she said, Thor let go of her and looked at her with a frown on his face.

"I am beginning to worry about your health, Alexandra" he said, she smiled at him, tiredly.

"Don't, I just want us to be safe, all of us"

"And we will, that I promise you" he said, Alexandra looked sadly at him and grabbed his face in her hands.

"You cannot promise me that" she said softly, Thor frowned.

"Why ever not?"

"Because I've seen it, Thor, he's mad, completely delusional, he will wipe half the world with a snap of his fingers and I don't want to lose dad, Pepper, uncle Rhodey, I don't want to lose you, I cannot lose you" she said, suddenly panicking, tears running down her face, Thor pressed a kiss to her forehead and pulled her into another hug.

"He won't hurt you" Thor said into her hair and she chuckled bitterly.

"Don't you understand" she said as she pushed him away so she could look into his eyes, "It's not me I'm worried about, I would lay my life down in heartbeat for any of you if I'd known that it would keep Thanos from you, Dad would mourn, but Pepper and Uncle Rhodey would be there for him, you'd have Loki and Frigga, I'm sure you could even find someone else to love" she said her voice breaking.

Thor's gaze sharpened and he looked into her eyes.

"There is no one else I would have, you are my friend, my wife, my lover, my queen, and this Thanos, we will fight him together, do not despair, we have the upper hand" he said, his eyes searching hers, "Alexandra please"

"I'm scared" she confessed, Thor closed his eyes and sighed before opening them again.

"You don't have to be"
