"You're never going back to that school, you'll never see those freaky friends of yours!" Vernon Dursley yells as he stood on a ladder and drilled in bars on 12-year-old Harry Potter's window. "Never!"

Later in the night. Harry drops the thick stack of letters from his friends that Dobby tried very hard to keep from him, into his trunk, then slammed down the lid. Hedwig chirped and bit at the lock on her cage with irritation. Harry looked at her and reached for her cage. "Hedwig, I need to find any kind of lost relative." He told her, opening the cage and Hedwig flew out, circling the ceiling before landing on the desk as she's happy to be out. "Anybody has to be better than this place."

Harry moves to the bedroom door, pulling out his wand, he unlocks the door and carefully and very slowly opens it. As he leaves the bedroom, Hedwig flies to her master and perches herself on his shoulder as he quietly moves through the hall. He passes Dudley's bedroom and his cousin is snoring like a chainsaw.

Harry very quietly reaches the attic door and opens it. He pulls out his wand. "Lumos." He whispers as he slowly moves up the stairs.

Once he reaches the attic, he looks around and spots a heavy trunk. Moving to it, he knelt down and opens it. "Whoa!" Harry recoils at the stuffy smell. He peers back in, with his wand still lit he rummages through the trunk and pulls out a paperback book.

The title read 'Pan Pal'.

"What's this?" Harry blinks behind his glasses, he looks around before closing the trunk. As the attic door closes behind Harry, the inside of the trunk lights up and the lid magically opens, letting out a piece of paper fluttering before it magically disappears.

Far away in Wakanda. Shuri walked into her lab as she studied some charts on a clipboard, she looked up and jumps startled. "Oh!" She gasps.

Wanda Maximoff was sitting on the floor and watching Bucky's frozen chamber, the witch looked up at Shuri's voice, once she saw her Wanda quickly got back to her feet. "Princess!" She gasped as she tittered with balance as she scrambled to her feet. "I am sorry! I did not mean to be in here without permission." She apologizes.

"It's ok." Shrui smiles, walking further in her lab, walking up to a table. "Are you close to the Sargent?" She asks lightly picking up a piece of paper from the floor that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Wanda shook her head. "No. Just the Captain."

Shuri turns to a worker. "Tell my brother he's needed in my lab, and the Captain too." She told him.

"Yes ma'am." He leaves the lab.

"Should I leave?" Wanda asks the Princess.

"No, you're welcome to stay." Shuri turns to approach Bucky's chamber, that quickly made Wanda nervous.

"Is he ok?" She asks with worry and concern. Suddenly the lab doors slide open to reveal T'Challa and Steve walking in.

"Sister, what is wrong?" T'Challa questioned in concern.

"Is Bucky ok!?" Steve asked in concern and worry, hurrying over to Wanda's side and looking at Bucky's chamber.

"Sargent Barns is alright." Shuri reassured him. "Captain, how long have you known the Sargent?" She asks.

Steve blinks with surprise. "We grew up together. Childhood best friends."

"What is with the questions, sister?" T'Challa asks.

"I'm sorry." Shuri turns back to the paper that seemed to appear out of thin air. "Just one more question. Did the Sargent have family back in your time?"

Steve again blinks. "He … he had sisters. Princess, what are you trying to tell me?" He asks.

Shuri holds up the paper in her hands. "Sargent Barns has a living relative." She gives Steve the paper, who takes it to look it over.

T'Challa watched Steve's face go pale. "Captain?" The King asks.

"Where is the relative?" The Captain asked, studying the paper. He lifts his face up to turn to look towards the frozen chamber where his best friend is, Wanda continued to stand in front of it. The blonde turns back to face Shuri. "Can I ask where this came from?"

"It just showed up." She answered honestly. "I don't know where it came from."

Steve took a deep breath, he turns to look towards where Bucky, then turns back to the paper in his hands. "I, I." Steve stutters as he moves to a table and accidentally falls onto it.

"Captain!" T'Challa exclaimed as he quickly reached out to grab Steve's arm in hopes to steady him.

"I'm sorry." Steve apologizes. "It's a little bit a shock is all."

"Are you sure the Sargent has a living relative?" Wanda asks.

"DNA does not lie." Shuri told her.

"Steve, what should we do?" Wanda asks, and Steve looks at her.

"We'll need to find the relative. But that's gonna be difficult with the current situation we have right now."
