Thank you guys for all the support!
Chapter 3:
A few moments later, Peter and Shuri were standing in the elevator, clicking on their phones.
"I don't have any wifi!" Peter told Shuri.
Peter frantically pushed the buttons on the elevator, trying to get the door open.
"That's not working!" replied Shuri.
"Okay. Breathe." responded Peter to himself. "Let's come up with a way out of here."
The two thought for a moment.
"At least we have a great view." Peter joked, looking out the elevator. The elevator, like many of the buildings in New York, had a window on one side that showed a beautiful view of the buildings of New York.
"It is beautiful." replied Shuri.
"I bet you have more nature in Wakanda then New York." replied Peter.
"It's different then New York." replied Shuri. "But equally as beautiful."
"If you look over there, you can see the empire state building and some apartments." replied Peter, pointing to a tall building in the distance. "Then down there's the park. Over there's Queens. That's where I live with my Aunt May."
"It reminds me of my bedroom." Shuri told him. "I can look outside of the balcony and see all the trees and the animals in the forests below, and the buildings in the city above."
"I bet you have a better view than I have from my apartment." replied Peter.
"Nonsense. I bet your view looks just as amazing." replied Shuri
Then there was a shaking that felt like someone landed on the elevator.
"What was that?" asked Shuri.
Then there was a bolt of electricity that shot through the elevator. Peter's spidey sense made him feel as if he was in danger.
"Peter! Get away from the walls!" Shuri shouted as she pulled Peter from where he was against the door from the first blast. The two huddled against each other in the center of the elevator.
Then a metal arm ripped the roof of the elevator open.
"Well, look at what we have here." replied a voice of a man as he looked in. He had brown hair, his eyes were covered by dark glasses, and he wore a green suit that covered his body and gloves on his hands. "The princess of Wakanda and the intern of Tony Stark."
"Who are you?" asked Shuri.
"The man planning to start a war." replied the man as he shut the roof of the elevator.
Then there was the sound of a snap and the elevator began to fall.
Peter looked at the fear on Shuri's face, and knew what he had to do.
The meeting on the inside that had just begun was stopped when there was the sound of a bang, and then a blast coming from the hallway. The smoke alarms went off and the sprinklers activated. The congressmen and women frantically began to rush out of the room.
"SHURI!" shouted T'Challa as he ran to the area of the blast, knowing exactly where it came from.
"Kid! Pick up! Are you okay! Peter! Answer me!" shouted Tony into his watch frantically.
Nothing happened.
Tony ran into the hallway and saw where T'Challa was looking.
The elevator doors had been blown apart, scattering the hallway with metal. Smoke poured out of the blast site, followed by sparks.
T'Challa swallowed, tears filing his eyes. Okoye ran over and had her hands over her mouth in silent agony.
"No, no, no, no!" Tony shouted, running to the shaft. "Parker! Peter! Peter! Please!"
"We need to go." replied a security guard.
"My sister!" shouted T'Challa. "My sister was in that elevator!"
"Mr. Stark, we need to get you and the king to safety. There's been an attack." replied a second guard.
Tony felt himself numbly being led away from the wreckage by a guard in disbelief as T'Challa was led away as well, feeling the same emotions as Tony was.
Several seconds before:
Peter activated his suit without a moment's hesitation.
He took a glance over at where Shuri was looking in a mix of fear and shock.
Looking up at where the roof of the elevator was ripped open, Peter webbed the top of the roof which was loose and pulled it to the side, opening it. Then, grabbing ahold of Shuri, shot a web upwards that attached to the top of the elevator shaft.
"Alright. This might be risky but we don't have another choice!" Peter shouted as he grabbed ahold of Shuri and, clutching the web in one hand and Shuri grabbing ahold of his other arm, he pulled them out of the elevator with a quick tug that sent them up several inches and out of the elevator.
Shuri looked down below as the elevator plummeted at the bottom of the shaft and crashed.
"You okay?" asked Peter. Shuri nodded.
Then Peter's spidey sense happened again.
"Peter!" Shuri shouted.
Peter looked over to see a small bomb attached to the door of the elevator set to go off any moment.
Shuri looked out the window.
And then Peter got another risky idea.
As the others evacuated outside, Tony looking up.
"C'mon Peter. You can find a way out." he told the sky.
And then, from the very top of the building, there was a small blur of red climbing down the building.
Several seconds earlier.
Peter was pretty sure he was bleeding as he made his way down the wall, Shuri holding onto him.
"Suit at critical damage." Friday told him. "Seek medical assistance."
"Are you okay?" asked Shuri.
"Tis merely a flesh wound princess." Peter joked.
Shuri laughed. Then she looked up at him.
"Shuri, please don't-" Peter began.
"I won't." promised Shuri.
Then, before either of them knew it, they were on the ground. Peter and Shuri let each other go as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah! Go Spider Man!" shouted a voice from the crowd.
Shuri ran over to T'Challa and hugged him. T'Challa looked at Peter.
"Thank you Spider Man." T'Challa told Peter.
Peter nodded as he walked to the alley.
"You smashed through a window just in time." replied Tony as he surveyed the cuts in Peter's suit.
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark." Peter told him.
After the rescue, Peter was helped back to Avengers compound to get checked out. Although the suit was strong, it hadn't been strong enough to prevent all the glass from smashing through his back. He needed stiches in certain areas of his back, which was now wrapped in gause bandages.
"It's alright." replied Tony. "You did a brave thing. Who knows what would have happened if Shuri was in that elevator and you weren't there-"
"She saw me in the suit." Peter interrupted.
"I had a feeling." Tony told him. "I'm not mad Peter."
"You aren't?" Peter asked.
"There was no way you could have put the suit on privately." replied Tony. "And because of that quick thinking in a stressful situation. you saved a life. And maybe more."
The doors of the lab opened and Pepper, followed by a hysterical Aunt May, came in the room.
"Peter! Oh thank goodness! I heard it all over the news! Are you hurt?" asked Aunt May, running over to Peter and hugging him.
"I'm alright Aunt May." Peter told her.
As relived as the two were, and how the beginning of a friendship formed, Peter's simple mistake that saved a life would soon endanger more people then he thought.
