"Secretary Ross has a Congressional Medal of Honor which is one more than you have." Rhodey said towards Sam. The two have been debating for hours after Ross had left them. Riley sat on Steve's lap as she was reading the accords with Steve. Connie sat with Natasha as both of them looked unsure about everything that was happening while Wanda and Vision sat with each other. Connie could tell Wanda was panicking.

"So let's say we agree to this thing. How long is it gonna be before they LoJack us like a bunch of common criminals?" Sam asked as he looked at Rhodey who scoffed and shook his head at Sam "A 117 countries want to sign this. 117, Sam, and you're just like, "No, that's cool. We got it.''"

Connie sighed as she looked over at Tony who was pinching the bridge of his nose. Riley looked over at Tony with a worried expression before she looked over at Connie who frowned as Riley sighed and went back to reading

"How long are you going to play both sides?" Sam asked as he went towards Connie and sat next to her and Connie saw that Sam was shaking as Connie sighed softly before rested her hand on her best friend's "Calm down a bit" She whispered as Sam sighed and nodded as Vision looked at the group

"I have an equation." Vision said as Sam narrowed his eyes "This will clear things up" He said dryly as Vision spoke

"In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, the number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurate rate." He said as Steve looked from the accords to Vision with his eyebrows raised

"Are you saying it's our fault?" Steve said as Vision shook his head "I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand."

Connie sighed and looked down before Natasha looked at Tony and sighed "Tony. You're being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal." She said as Riley sighed and looked at Tony

"He made his choice already." She said as Tony looked at Riley for a moment and sighed before getting up

"Boy, you know me so well.. I'm glad to have you as my adopted cousin Riley. Actually, I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache. That's what's going on" Tony said as he got up and walked towards the kitchen "It's just pain. It's discomfort. Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?" Tony asked as he went towards the sink and narrowed his eyes as Connie couldn't help but chuckle a bit knowing who did it.. It was Sam.

Tony placed his phone against a fruit bowl and tapped it as the screen came on and showed an African-American male smiling into the camera

"Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA. Had a floor level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first, he wanted to put a few miles on his soul... before he parked it behind a desk. See the world. Maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam, which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where, Sokovia" Tony said sternly as the others looked shocked and Riley looked down in disappointment

"He wanted to make a difference, I suppose. I mean, we won't know because we dropped a building on him while we were kicking ass." Tony said dryly as he sighed "There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check! Whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, if we're boundary-less, we're no better than the bad guys." He said as Steve looked up and frowned "Tony, someone dies on your watch, you don't give up.

"Who said we're giving up?"

"We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. This document just shifts the blames." Steve said as Rhodey scoffed and shook his head at Steve

"I'm sorry. Steve. That... That is dangerously arrogant. This is the United Nations we're talking about. It's not the World Security Council, it's not SHIELD, it's not HYDRA." Rhodey said as Connie looked at Steve

"I think he has a point Rhodey" Connie whispered as Rhodes looked at her confused "The Avengers have done their own thing since 2012 and have saved countless lives.. Things could be worse if the government doesn't want us to go to a certain area.. What if their choices affect others that do need saving?'

"Excuse me Connie.. But you've only been on this team for a year.. Before this you were just another person having their normal life, I don't think you get much saying in this" Rhodes tried to explain but Riley shook her head at him

"Connie does have a voice in this.. She's one of us it doesn't matter how long she's been with us. She's an avenger and she will always be" Riley said as Connie gave her a small smile before Steve looked at Connie and smiled softly

"She has Rogers blood just like her grandfather and me" He whispered before looking at Rhodes "It's run by people with agendas and agendas change." He said as Tony shook his head "That's good. That's why I'm here. When I realized what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down and stop manufacturing." He said

"Tony, you chose to do that. If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there is somewhere we need to go, and they don't let us? We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own." Steve said as Riley spoke up

"I agree with Steve.." She said as Tony's eyes widen as he shook his head "Not my adopted cousin.. Not you Riley"

"I'm thinking about the people first and we need to protect as many as we can.. We need to be smart about this Tony" Riley whispered as Tony narrowed his eyes and shook his head "If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later. That's the fact. That won't be pretty." Tony spoke as Wanda's eyes widen as she looked at the others

"So they'll come after me?"

"We would protect you" Vision said as Connie nodded "As if they're gonna take you.. I'll fight them all" Connie said as Wanda had to smile a bit for that as her new friend and Vision were so protective of her, she couldn't be more grateful to have them in her life

"Maybe Tony's right. If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer. If we take it off... " Natasha said softly as Riley saw Steve looking up from the booklet with a hurt expression and Riley knew why.. Natasha had grown to be Steve's best friend and she was with Steve's son S.J Rogers before his death. They were like family.

"Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass?" Sam challenged as Connie looked over at Natasha and frowned and Nat saw that, the Rogers were like her family and the fact that she was going against them.. It hurt but she had to think what was right for the team.

"I'm just... reading the terrain. We have made some very public mistakes. We need to win their trust back." Natasha said trying to explain to the others as Steve frowned and looked down and Riley grabbed his hand and squeezed it as Tony even looked confused

"Focus up. I'm sorry, did I just mishear you or did you agree with me?" Tony said as Natasha sighed as raised her eyebrow and sighed "Oh, I want to take it back now." She said as Tony even had a small grin

"No, no, no. You can't retract it. Thank you. Unprecedented. Okay, case closed - I win." Tony said as soon Riley and Steve felt their phones buzzing as Riley was the first one to take out her phone and unlocked it and saw the message as she nearly dropped her phone, Steve looked at his phone and then Riley's as they got the same message

'She's gone, in her sleep.'

Riley felt the world spinning as she knew who had just passed away.. Peggy Carter.. Her aunt.

Peggy Carter and Riley's grandmother Mary Hunter had become best friends during the second World War and both worked with Steve. But once Steve went down into the ice. Mary was pregnant with S.J and Peggy and Howard stepped up to be the father figures in S.J's life until he had passed away as a child. Mary had re-married and had Riley's mother and uncle.. Peggy of course was there for Mary and Mary was the aunt of Peggy's children.. Including Sharon Carter. Riley and Sharon had grown up together and trained to Shield agents. Now the two were leading two different lives, Riley being an Avenger while Sharon in the CIA.

Riley excused herself as she quickly rushed off to the hallways and quickly ran down the stairs. She leaned on the rails as she was crying.. The last thing she had of her grandmother.. Was gone.

She heard footsteps and saw Steve slowly making his way down the stairs, Riley saw the tears in his eyes as she quickly went to him and embraced him into a tight hug as he was crying. Peggy was the last person in his old life.. Mary died. S.J died. Bucky was gone. It broke her heart to know that Steve didn't have no one in his old life.. She knew Steve was quite protective of her and Connie, he had every right. She knew this was going to be hard for Steve and she knew that she was going to be there for him.. Until the very end.

She held him as he cried.

Connie, Riley and Sam sat in the front benches of the church. Connie looked in awe of the church and saw the many people there and how packed it was. Connie was in the middle of Riley and Sam and she looked over and saw Riley looking down, her eyes dull. Connie grabbed Riley's hand and squeezed it as she held her hand and Riley looked up as Connie nodded and Riley smiled a bit. Sam leaned forward and whispered into Connie's ear "You're a natural.. You make everyone feel a tiny bit better in sad moments"

"Thank you Sam" Connie smiled softly as she held Sam's hand and he looked down and chuckled "I'm sure you were a joy for your mother"

"My mother wished she could attend the funeral but she couldn't.. Work and everything"

"I bet you miss her" Sam said as Connie nodded "I miss her a lot, it sucks not being able to come home to her everyday and see her.. But when Steve and I do visit her.. It feels so right with all of us together.. We had so much to catch up on and after the death of S.J.. We just need to stick together.. We're all Rogers.. Mine and my mother's last names might not be Rogers but we have Steve and S.J's blood" She said as Sam nodded "It must have been crazy to discover your great-grandfather was Captain America"

"It was crazy at first but it explained the Super Soldier Strength.. I was always the strongest and the fastest in everything and even my mother told me to tone it down with the strength.. Before something bad had happened" She said as they saw the priest coming out and telling everyone to take a seat as the funeral was ready.

Soon the music started playing as everyone stood up and looked at the back as Riley, Connie and Sam all held hands as they watched the casket coming down the aisle. They watched as Steve and a couple of other men were carrying it as Connie bowed her head in respect. She may have never met the legendary agent but she had so much respect for Peggy as she was a part of her family's life from World War II until Now and she knew that every one that met Peggy was the luckiest person in the world.

They watched Steve and the men coming down the Aisle, Steve with tears in his eyes. She watched as they placed the casket down in front of the alter and Steve made his way Connie, Riley and Steve as he sat in between Sam and Riley as Steve had his head down and Connie held her great-grandfather's hand as he looked up and looked into his family member's eyes and he sighed as Connie looked at him "We're family Pop, until the very end.. Just know that me and mom.. We're always with you" She whispered as Steve had a small smile and looked at her "That's all I need"

They were cut off as the priest introduced Sharon Carter to speak.

Natasha was walking through the door of the United Nations' meeting. She had attended the funeral of Peggy Carter just a few hours ago and was by the side of Steve and Riley. Sam and Connie had returned to the hotel to give Riley and Steve a few moments and Natasha found Riley sitting down while Steve was standing there. The three of them talked a bit and Natasha had told Steve and Riley that Vision, Rhodey, Tony, Herself and The Snakes; Janet, Felix and Sean had signed once Tony contacted them. Steve refused to sign the accords while Riley and Connie had shook their heads.. Telling her that what the Accords wasn't right.

She was greeted by a woman asking for her to sign in for the meeting. T'Challa heard Natasha's voice as he was looking outside for a moment. This Political setting wasn't for him and he felt like the meeting could have been done with a few people.. Not a lot. Once he told Orchid that she hushed him with a kiss and told him the sooner they were there, the sooner they could leave. Orchid wanted to go sight seeing which caused T'Challa to chuckle. Orchid would never attend these kind of things with him, she preferred to stay in the sidelines and be home looking after the kingdom with her team, Dora Milaje, with T'Challa's sister. But T'Chaka had requested for Orchid and T'Challa to come since they were to be married one day and be the king and queen of Wakanda.

The bright side for Orchid was that Ayo, one of the members of The Dora Milaje was with her. Orchid had to retire from the team after a accident that happened which caused Orchid's closest friend to become the new leader. Orchid couldn't help but miss being on the elite team but she knew her duties as Queen must come first and T'Challa knew that the team meant so much to her, the girls were like sisters to Orchid.

T'Challa looked around for his Fiancée and she was no where to be found, he frowned and wanted to stay where he was standing until he could find her. He hated being away from her for a long time and although they were in the same building, he just wanted to be with her.. After everything that happened, he needed to be with her. Always.

T'Challa walked slowly to Natasha, looking around for Orchid but he sighed as she was no where in sight as he looked at Natasha and smiled softly "I suppose neither of us and Orchid aren't used to the spotlight" T'Challa greeted Natasha as the red-head smiled softly "Is Princess Orchid here today?"

"Yes, it seems like she's hiding until the meeting is over.. I don't blame her" T'Challa said as Natasha chuckled "Oh, well, it's not always so flattering." She said as T'Challa smiled a bit

"You seem to be doing alright so far. Considering your last trip to Capitol Hill... I wouldn't think you would be particularly comfortable in this company." T'Challa said as Natasha smiled "My boyfriend waited for me outside that day on his Bike.. S.J hated it too but he did it for his father and I don't feel very comfortable here" Natasha spoke as T'Challa nodded "That makes me glad you're here, Miss Romanoff." He said and soon both of them heard a voice

"You aren't glad I'm here as well? Tragic.. My heart is broken" The voice said in a joking matter as T'Challa turned around and beamed once he saw his Fiancée standing there, beautiful as always. Natasha saw the look in T'Challa's eyes and smiled at that. She could tell T'Challa was deeply in love with the girl standing in front of them. Orchid made her way towards him and he wrapped a arm around her waist as he brought her into a loving kiss as she chuckled and pulled away

"We're in a public place"

"I thought you were hiding" T'Challa said as Orchid laughed and shook her head "I was with your father speaking with the press. They were eager that the Princess of Wakanda had finally appeared, kept asking me when the wedding was" Orchid sighed as T'Challa smiled "What did you say?"

"I just told them when we're ready" Orchid said as her Fiancé smiled at her "I'm pretty much ready" He said as she laughed "Well, we have all the time in the world..I'm not in a rush, as long as we do it before you're crowned the king" She said as T'Challa nodded as he looked over at Natasha

"Orchid, this is Natasha Romanoff.. An Avenger" She said as Orchid smiled at the red-head "Pleased to meet an Avenger finally" Orchid said as Natasha bowed her head

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I've heard so much great things about you" Natasha said as Orchid nodded "Like-wise, I wish we could have met somewhere else than here" She said as Natasha raised an eyebrow "You don't approve of all this?" She asked and it was T'Challa who spoke

"The Accords, yes. The politics, not really. Two people in a room can get more done than a hundred." He spoke as Orchid nodded in agreement "It was about time the Accords come into place, although it will be more hard for me" She said softly as T'Challa was about to say something until they heard another voice

"Unless you need to move a piano.. As for you my little Orchid, we will look after you. You're family, since your mother stepped into our lives" King T'Chaka said as Orchid smiled softly and T'Challa grinned as he saw his father and both Orchid and T'Challa bowed their head respectfully

"Father" T'Challa said as Orchid said "Papa"

"Son. Daughter. Miss Romanoff." T'Chaka said to the group and looked at his son and future daughter-in-law. Orchid was like a second daughter, after her father died in battle when she was a child, T'Chaka decided to act as a father figure to Orchid and helped her with everything she went through, including the powers she was gifted with, he even asked by Orchid if he could walk her down the isle when it was time to marry his son.

"King T'Chaka. Please, allow me to apologize for what happened in Nigeria." Natasha said respectfully to him as he nodded in understanding

"Thank you. Thank you for agreeing to all this. I'm sad to hear that Captain Rogers will not be joining us today." T'Chaka said disappointed as Orchid nodded in agreement "I've been looking forward to meeting with Captain Rogers, he's an honorable man and I have deep respect for him" She said as Natasha smiled "I'll be sure to let him know that, hopefully one day you may meet him"

"I hope so, I would like to spar with someone who isn't my soon to be husband.. I hate winning all the time" Orchid sighed, being dramatic as T'Challa's eyes widen "You don't win all the time!"

"My love.. I let you win sometimes" Orchid said as T'Challa looked at her for a moment in shock as he looked at his father and Natasha before looking at the woman he loves "Really?!"

"Even I see it son, you may be the future king.. But your Queen is powerful" His father said as T'Challa kissed Orchid's head "Ay, she owns my heart .. My life" T'Challa said as Orchid looked at the floor for a moment and T'Challa noticed that and he was about to open his mouth until they heard a voice on the speakers

"If everyone could please be seated. This assembly is now in session." The man said as T'Challa looked around and saw everyone gathering to their seats as he squeezed Orchid's hand "Take a seat, I'll be with my father" He said as Orchid nodded as she leaned forward and kissed T'Challa as he wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her in closer until they both needed air

"I'll sit with you, if you want" Natasha said as Orchid smiled softly as she broke apart from T'Challa so he could speak with his father "Yes please.. I don't know anyone here, it feels quite weird"

"How come you've never stepped out in the public with T'Chaka and T'Challa?" Natasha asked as she took a seat and Orchid sat down next to her and she shook her head "T'Chaka thought it would be best if I stay hidden for a while, but after the Ultron thing.. It's time for me to step up and be a member of the royal family" She said as Natasha nodded as T'Chaka was speaking with his son standing a couple of feet away. Orchid looking over at T'Challa who looked back and sent her a wink.

"When stolen Wakandan vibranium was used to make a terrible weapon, we in Wakanda were forced to question our legacy. Those men and women killed in Nigeria, were part of a goodwill mission from a country too long in the shadows. We will not, however, let misfortune drive us back. We will fight to improve the world we wish to join. I am grateful to the Avengers for supporting this initiative." T'Chaka was saying as T'Challa was looking outside the window for a moment, his glare at the window made Orchid worried as she sensed something was wrong and she was ready to get up and walk to her finance but suddenly he bolted, running as fast as he could to his father while waving

"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" He shouted as all of a sudden she felt Natasha grabbing her and covered Orchid with her own body as Orchid closed her eyes as she closed her hand into a fist as suddenly a huge burst of explosion came in and Orchid and Natasha heard the screams of everyone including T'Challa and Orchid whined as she heard screams of pain and Natasha looked up and soon Orchid did also as the red-head looked shocked.

There was a huge force-field surrounding a majority of the people in the room.

Orchid looked up and at Natasha before she opened her hand and the force-field was gone and Orchid broke away from Natasha as the woman looked at the princess

"You did that?" Natasha whispered as the smoke was clearing away, and Orchid nodded "That is why T'Chaka kept me hidden all these years.. He was protecting me" She whispered as Natasha looked around and saw some of the bodies that were laying there, dead. Orchid had tears streaming down her face and she felt like she couldn't breathe "This can't be happening" Orchid whispered as Natasha rested a hand on her shoulder "You saved everyone you could.. You did the best you can" Nat said as Orchid shook her head and she froze once she saw T'Challa sitting there holding T'Chaka's dead body as Orchid wailed and dropped to her knees

"No!" She screamed as Natasha went towards her and held her "I couldn't even save him! My own family member!" Orchid cried as Natasha held her looked at Orchid "T'Challa needs you right now..." Natasha whispered as Orchid shook her head "He's gonna hate me.. I should have thought about Papa and T'Challa first!"

"You saved hundreds of lives today Orchid.. Sometimes we can't save everyone.. It's impossible" Natasha whispered as Orchid ran towards T'Challa and held his hand as he cried holding his father's body, cradling it back and fourth as he was sobbing

"Papa" Orchid whispered as she rested her forehead on T'Challa's shoulder as she started crying.. She once again lost another father.. A father figure in her life. She loved T'Chaka with her heart and cherished him as a father.. Now that her father and him were gone.. It was just her, her mother, and T'Challa's family.

"Are you okay?" Orchid whispered to T'Challa as she checked for wounds and saw a cut on his head as she shook her head "I'm so sorry T'Challa" She whispered as T'Challa shook his head and looked at her "Did you use your powers?" He whispered softly as Orchid nodded "Towards most of the people" She whispered. Scared that T'Challa was going to be upset, but he nodded and looked at her

"It wasn't your fault my love, it was whoever did this.. Whoever killed my father" T'Challa said as Orchid saw T'Challa's eyes darken as Orchid intertwined her fingers with his as she kissed his head a couple of times

"We're going to find whoever did this.. I promise you" Orchid whispered as T'Challa looked at Orchid, his eyes sadden "You know what this means now?"

Orchid closed her eyes and sighed "It means we're the King and Queen of Wakanda now"

"I'm not ready" T'Challa whispered as Orchid nodded in agreement "Neither am I"

Author's Note:

Wowie I finally updated something.

I wanted to keep Orchid as pure as possible. We will see her blaming herself for not protecting T'Chaka and why did Orchid look down when T'Challa was saying that Orchid was his life and love? Is there something wrong?

Sam has a crush on Connie and she knows that, but she doesn't want to start anything with Sam.. Not until she has some closure on Bucky, if she ever gets one.

Next Chapter:

Connie and Bucky reunite but have to escape and life and death situation when The Orchid and Black Panther are after them.

Also we will get some back story on Orchid and T'Challa's relationship.

Leave Reviews and until Next Time.
