(A/N) you know that thing that Mando was carrying Grogu in for season 1 and most of season two of Mandalorian? Yeah, that's what's carrying Peter for this chapter.
Richard and Mary were currently on their private S.H.I.E.L.D. plane headed to the Hub with a small portable baby carrier that was bulletproof and designed to close at the sign of danger to their side.
This baby carrier was holding none other than their son, Peter Parker.
Richard is trying to hack into a secret server inside the Hub to locate the source of a message spreading through S.H.I.E.L.D.s servers.
"What could this code mean?" Mary asks as Peter started to fuss in his carrier.
"I think it's supposed to be an activation code." Richard says as Mary comforted their son.
"Wait. I think it cracked it." Richard says as part of the code comes through.
'Out — — — in— — light'
"It's just...what if they know?" Mary asks.
"Who know what?" Richard asks.
"What if these people know about his powers?" Mary explains to her husband as she picked up her son. "He's the first enhanced human since Captain America."
Richard offered her a smile and caressed his son's head to soothe him. Peter began to calm down when Mary smelled the present he left for his parents.
"Oh, someone needs changing. I'll be back." Mary says as she carries Peter to the bathroom whilst Richard keeps trying to crack it and the pilot doors open and he steps out.
"Mr. Parker." He greets and starts washing his hands over the sink while Richard looks and sees something on his hands he sees and thinks it's blood. Richard starts getting suspicious. "No rest for the future, huh?" He asks.
"No, it would seem not, Rumlow." Richard says. "I don't really see why Fury assigned you to this."
"Well, he didn't." Rumlow explains as he turns in the sink. "So, what is it you're working on that's so secret?" He asks.
Richard looks and another part comes in "H— H-D-A" it says, still incomplete. "I'm just...planning ahead." He explains, disturbed. "You don't know what's gonna happen." He explains. So, you think I can radio the Hub and make sure they're prepared for our arrival?" He asks, getting up.
"Step ahead of you. Already done." Rumlow says.
"I think I'd like to make sure for myself." Richard says as Rumlow pulls out a gun.
"I think we both know that's not an option, Doctor." Rumlow says.
Richard looks back at the computer as the message comes clear. "Hail HYDRA" He looks back to Rumlow in shock. "You're HYDRA?" Richard asks. "HYDRA is still around?"
"Oh, don't worry, even the Director is clueless. We've been here since Rodgers tried beating us." Rumlow explains.
"Cut off one head, two more grow back." Richard understands.
"You know, they told me to kill you." Rumlow explains. "Then take whatever you have on us. But I can offer you a chance to see your son again. Garret wants to offer you a choice." Rumlow explains.
"A place in HYDRA?" Richard asks.
"All we want to know is what your son can do.
"I'd die before I let you turn him into a weapon for HYDRA." Richard promises him.
Rumlow looks sad. "Come on, Richard, think of your son." Rumlow says.
"I am. That's why I'm not joining." Richard tells him.
"I'm sorry to hear that." He says and walks towards the bathroom door and makes sure it's locked.
But before he could, the door opened and slammed Rumlow into the wall of the plane.
On the ground below, the three of them had no idea that they were fighting over the hidden civilization of Wakanda.
"I am tired of living in a bubble." A young Prince T'Challa tells his father as he looked out at the city of Wakanda. "There's an entire world out there, Baba."
"Yes, one of war, violence, hatred." The King of Wakanda, T'Challa's father, T'Chaka stated as he walked over to the window. "That world has nothing to offer Wakanda."
"There must be more." T'Challa stated, not wanting to believe that is all there is out there. "But we must be brave enough to search for it."
"I do understand, my son." T'Chaka promises his son. "Though the blood of a king runs through your veins, it is pumped by the heart of an explorer. But as someone who has ventured into the greater world, let me assure you, all you will find is destruction and pain. Those people do not understand our way of life."
Back up in the air, Richard and Mary were fighting Rumlow whilst Mary did her best to keep him away from Peter who she was able to get into his crater and close it up.
Now it won't open until either it's timer allows it to open, or things around it calms down.
"They say you're a genius. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best to offer." Rumlow says as he takes his laptop and used it to smack Richard and sent him flying. "Sadly, it's a waste."
Mary takes the opportunity to punch him, and he stumbles and kicks Mary away from the container currently holding her son and aims the gun at her and goes to shoot her, point blank.
"Mary!" Richard shouts as he gets back up and kicks Rumlow before he could shoot just for the gun to go off and hit the currently dead pilot and caused him to hit the wheel and send the plane falling to the ground.
Back on the ground, T'Challa was running through the fields and tossed his spear into the air, watched it fly and impale the ground where he quickly ran and picked it up again before throwing it again.
But then he threw it one too many times as the spear went through the forcefield blocking Wakanda off from the rest of the world.
Working fast, T'Challa ran out of the portal and found the spear and quickly picked it up when he saw a fireball in the sky and watched as the plane crashed into the ground.
Wanting to check it out, T'Challa raced over to the crash site and saw the plane parts spread all across the jungle.
"Hello?" T'Challa called out as he walked through the rubble with his spear, looking for any survivors.
What he found of the survivors were the scorched and deranged corpses of the pilot. Filled with glass, cuts, and bruises all over his body.
Then he suddenly heard crying and screaming of a child and saw it was coming from the container that was the only thing that was in one piece.
Once T'Challa reached it, the pod seems to have registered the surrounding area as safe and opened for the young prince.
The baby then quickly saw him and stopped crying and ended up giggling at the sight of him.
"Who are you?" T'Challa asked the young baby, as if he was expecting him to respond when he see his name was embedded into the blanket he was wrapped with. "Peter?"
The baby turned his head at the mention of his name and giggled uncontrollably.
T'Challa wondered what's happened for this child to be out here without his parents when he heard someone coughing and gasping for air.
T'Challa quickly dragged the carrier and made it to who it was and learned it was Mary.
Mary panted in exhaustion and pain as she groaned in exhaustion. She then looked up and saw T'Challa with her son and tried her best to speak.
"Please...bring him somewhere safe." Mary pleaded to the child and looked to her son. "He's special. If they find him...they'll come for him."
T'Challa looked and wondered what made this child so special. He looked like an everyday baby, in fact he looked just maybe more aware to his surroundings than he should be, but nothing gigantic.
Just then, he looked and saw the mother has stopped breathing when he saw figures approach and saw it was the Dora Milaje who came looking for the young Prince.
But they were not expecting anything that they found. The crashed plane. The dead woman. And certainly not the Prince and a baby together.
