Third Person

Nkosazana stepped into the chamber and her eyes closed as the machine started running, T'Challa and Shuri looked to the huge monitor that hung on the wall to the left of the machine. On the screen, there was static until Shuri pressed one of the buttons on her panel and a young Ana showed on screen.

She was sitting on the floor next to her mother, sewing the bottom of a dress while her mother worked on the upper part, "Momma, Shuri is going to like this dress, I know it." Her mother chuckled and looked down at her, not wanting to hurt her feelings, she agreed with her daughter. Ana and her mother looked up as her father slammed the room door open, he was rushing around gathering things, "My love, what is wrong?"

"We must go, pack your things. NOW!"

Her mother stood up quickly, scared by her husbands booming voice, Shuri's dress fell to the floor and Ana looked in between the both of her parents scrambling around to grab their things. "Baba, what about Shuri and Challa?"

"Not now, Ana. We must go, they are going to throw me in prison. Let's go! We're leaving now!" Her father replied, her mother picked her up and they made their way out of the palace. "Baba, what about Shuri and Challa? I don't wanna leave them." Her father kept walking as she started crying, "Hush now, my love." Her mother kissed Ana's forehead and started walking.

The screen glitched out for a few seconds, and T'Challa looked to Shuri then to Ana inside the chamber. She started moving a bit, and T'Challa saw the screen get more glitched out. Shuri pressed a few buttons, "What is going on?"

"The Vibranium is fighting the serum. I'm going to inject more." Shuri replied pressing a few buttons on the panel, the machine whirred and the monitor became clearer.

The monitor portrayed a teenage Ana sitting in front of her mother and father, her mother is in a wheelchair and is hooked up to IVs. Ana held her mother's hands, the screen started to glitch out slightly before coming clear again. "Maitu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, my dear. Just tired." Her father put his hand on her mother's shoulder, Ana had small tears in her eyes. "Ana, your mother is sick. I'm going to make her better with the medicine. She is going to be better." Ana smiled widely at her father, and hugged him, "Baba, please fix her."

The screen started glitching again and it started getting cloudy, soon it started glitching faster and all Shuri and T'Challa could hear were the voices of Ana and Kagiso The monitor started to become clear and displayed Ana and her father standing across from each other in a small room. Ana was standing defensively and her father has his hands up, as if trying to tell her he doesn't mean any harm.

"Now, my intomba; this special serum is going to help you train better."

"Isn't that the same thing that you pumped into mother's arms?" Ana asked incredulously as she tried to back away from her father, he shook his head slightly and pulled out a small vial filled with a slightly light purple liquid showing her.

"I changed the recipe, it will make you stronger and more focus, faster. It is going to make you advanced, more than those in Wakanda. And maybe, one day, it will make you good enough to be a Dora." Kagiso explained to his daughter as he pulled out his syringe kit, "Sit down, Ana. I need you to do this for me. It will either work or it won't, you won't be harmed."

Ana shook her head before walking towards the door, her father slammed his hand down, "SIT DOWN, NKOSAZANA!" Ana flinched and slowly walked over to her father, she sat down as he drew the liquid into the syringe. He cleaned her inner arm off and stuck the needle in. He pushed the plunger down and watched his daughter's veins turn a purple-ish color as she collapsed to the floor and screamed in pain.

T'Challa flinched at her screams on the monitor as Shuri looked away, Ana's body was turning a light purple as blood started coming out of her mouth.

The screen started glitching out before transmission completely cut out, Shuri pressed a few buttons as Ana inside the sleep chamber started moving and making this hurt face. She was still asleep but it looked to be that she was having a nightmare. The screen started flashing in and out quickly before Ana screamed and the monitor exploded.

T'Challa pulled Shuri to the ground protecting her as glass flew everywhere, they looked back up to see Ana standing there; purple veins and eyes glowing. T'Challa walked over to Ana before trying to place a hand on her shoulder. She grabbed his arm and threw him, he went against the wall before standing up quickly and activating his Panther suit.

Ana's hand started to glow as she shouted loudly, "No more!" She brought her hand up towards T'Challa as he tackled her to the ground before she could shoot the purple glow at him. She started to fight back, "Brother! Catch!"

He looked over to see a flying device towards him, he caught it, "Put it on her chest and press the button!" T'Challa did as she said, and Ana started shaking; her body went limp after a few seconds. He stood up throwing the device back to Shuri, "What is that thing?"

"It's a new device that I've been working on, it works like a american device called a taser but it is more humane. It sends a two electrical impulses through the body and the body corresponds by shutting down as if you fainted or suddenly lost consciousness."

T'Challa nodded standing up, he bent down and picked Ana up bridal style and placed her onto one of the exam tables that Shuri led over. He placed her down then started to clean up the broken glass and broken pieces of the sleep chamber.

When he finished, Shuri looked at him and he back at her. "We should probably put her in a room, let me ask Okoye if they have prepared hers yet." T'Challa pressed one of his kimoyo beads and a picture of Okoye appeared. "Yes, my king?"

"Have the staff prepared Ana's room?"

"Not yet, my King. Queen Mother is having the staff prepare a celebration for her. They are going to prepare her room when they are finished." T'Challa nodded and pressed the kimoyo bead again, ending the call. Shuri looked around at her half destroyed lab, "You could place her in your room, brother. It's just until she wakes up."

He proceeded to pick her up off of the exam table, he realized how light she was. She was like a feather! "I will see you in a bit, sister." T'Challa walked out of the lab with Ana in his arms, he walked down the hallway towards his chambers. Several staff and Dora members looked on at him as he passed by them, when he got to his room; he opened the door and shut it with his foot before setting Ana down on the bed.

He sighed a breath of relief before looking down at Ana, she looked peaceful and calm. He pulled the throw blanket that sat on top of his duvet over her.

"How can one woman be so powerful?" He thought to himself as he caught himself gazing at her with interest, he couldn't wait to learn more about her. What she went through was terrible but there was more there than what he just saw, and he knows that.

T'Challa reached his door and pushed the slider down on his wall causing his lights to dim, he opened the door quietly and walked out. "Goodnight, Ana." He said quietly shutting the door.
