Ezekiel pushed a button and the table in front of him opened up showing a screen along with a keyboard and mouse. He started to type away on it for a few minutes before the main monitor of the room minimized Bucky riding a motorcycle to one side of the screen. It next pulled up a couple of boxes which said connecting in the middle of the box.
After a few moments one of the boxes changed, one of them showed Hank in his lab. In the background you could see Bill and Darren talking in front of a computer. Hank looked at Ezekiel and Fury and asked, "Did something happen?"
Ezekiel nodded as he said, "Yes, we found Bucky. I am currently tracking him by satellite."
"We will be there in a few minutes." Ezekiel closed the screen afterwards along with another screen that was meant to contact Bill. After a minute another screen connected and Tao could be seen on the screen.
She had a slight smile as she asked, "Does Fury want to talk about Wakanda?"
Ezekiel shook his head as he said, "No, we finally found Bucky. I figured everyone would want to know."
Tao nodded her head as she said, "I will be there in a few minutes."
As Ezekiel went to close the screen, another popped up with Peggy on it. She looked to be in bed and her hair was kind of a mess. Ezekiel smiled as he said, "See you soon Tao."
He looked at the screen with Peggy and said, "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you."
"It's fine, what happened?"
Ezekiel grinned as he said, "We finally found Bucky…"
Steve could be heard outside of the frame as he asked, "They found Bucky?"
Ezekiel and Fury were frozen after Steve talked. Peggy looked to her side for a moment, before she let out a sigh and turned the camera slightly. Steve was seated in the bed next to her, he was shirtless and his hair was a mess also. He smiled guiltily as he said, "We will be there in a few minutes."
The feed immediately cut off and Ezekiel glanced at Fury as he asked, "They weren't…"
"I don't even wanna think about it."
Ezekiel nodded his head before he started to giggle. His giggle turned into a full on laugh and even Fury started to smirk just the tiniest bit, before he schooled his face back to his normal half frown.
When Ezekiel calmed down he said, "If you have any questions about what I showed you, just send me an email. Keep in mind that I don't know everything, so if you ask me for details on something I probably don't know it."
Fury had his computer up and was typing when he asked, "So what happened in Wakanda?"
Ezekiel grinned as he said, "We stole five tons of vibranium."
Fury's head snapped up to study Ezekiel for a few moments before he let out a sigh and said, "So now we are enemies with Wakanda?"
"No, not really. I mean maybe with the current leadership, but we will just make friends with the next king and everything should work out."
Fury started to type again as he said, "Next time can you at least inform us before you do something so stupid?" The door opened up and Hank and Bill walked in as Fury talked.
Ezekiel said, "I will try my best, but sometimes things just happen."
After Hank and Bill sat down, Hank asked, "What happened this time?"
"Ezekiel stole five tons of vibranium from Wakanda and now they might be our enemy."
Hank turned from Fury and gave Ezekiel a questioning look as Bill said, "Wakanda? I've never heard of that place before."
Ezekiel nodded his head as he said, "Most people wouldn't know about them. Small country in the middle of Africa. From the outside they seem like a small 3rd world country. But that is just what they show people, they are actually the most advanced country in the world."
Hank looked a little upset as he said, "So what are we planning to do about Wakanda? I don't want to lose that vibranium. I will fight them if it comes to that."
"No, we shouldn't have to fight them. We should be fine if we leave them alone and don't run around showing off we have vibranium. Honestly, just Erik will need to keep a low profile."
Bill nodded his head as he said, "That is easy enough, I don't think we have any plans to make anything out of vibranium besides the quantum tunnel."
The door opened up and in walked Peggy followed by Steve who looked a little tense. So Ezekiel gave a wolf whistle, which made Steve smile slightly and caused Peggy to shoot Ezekiel a glare. Hank and Bill smiled just a tiny bit as Fury shook his head.
As Peggy and Steve were sitting down, Ezekiel smirked as he said, "I am not gonna pry into your personal business, but I just want to say don't break a hip or something."
Peggy glared at Ezekiel as Steve turned a little red. Hank and Bill both laughed for a moment, before Peggy glared at them. She then looked back at Ezekiel as she said, "Are you done?"
As Ezekiel nodded his head, Tao walked in the door. Once she took her seat, Ezekiel gestured to the main monitor as he said, "They used Bucky to assassinate a foreign dignitary who was pretty outspoken about the current climate in Symkaria. We will have to assume that they have a hand in what is happening there."
Fury nodded as he said, "I will send someone from our group to investigate his death and see if we can dig up anything."
Steve watched the monitor intently as he asked, "When are we going after Bucky?"
Fury looked up at Steve and Peggy as he said, "Right after we find where they are keeping him. But since everyone is here, let's talk about what Ezekiel did in Wakanda while we wait."
Everyone turned to look at Ezekiel who smiled as he said, "I will try to make this quick."
He started to type on his computer, which made the satellite view of Bucky smaller. A new screen popped up and it showed a satellite view of Wakanda. It looked mostly covered in jungle and there were only a handful of towns that could be seen in the image.
Ezekiel pointed at the screen as he said, "This is Wakanda, a small isolationist landlocked country located in Africa. It's a third world nation that is known for its exports of textiles. At least what they show to the outside world."
The screen zoomed into a random part of Wakanda that seemed to be covered in jungle. After Ezekiel typed on the computer some more, the jungle disappeared and they could see a sprawling metropolis. Ezekiel smiled as he said, "This is the golden city, also known as Birnin Zana, the capital of Wakanda. They are the most technologically advanced civilization currently on earth and it's because they are sitting on a meteor full of vibranium."
The screen pulled up some pictures, it was the family tree of the golden tribe. Erik's picture was near the bottom and Ezekiel pulled it up as he said, "Erik Stevens or N'Jadaka is the son of former prince N'Jobu. When I talked to him the other day, I realized I messed up pretty badly. I should have talked with him as soon as he was brought under our custody."
Some police crime scene photos came up on the screen as Ezekiel said, "N'Jobu was killed by his brother, the current king of Wakanda and Erik was left behind to fend for himself. Partly to hide the fact the king killed his brother, and partly to keep the royal bloodline pure since Erik is only half Wakanda."
Ezekiel let out a sigh as he said, "When he was brought in I knew Erik had some issues and would work towards his main goal of revenge against his fathers killer. But when I met him, he seemed normal, so I put off talking with him. I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with his issues and that maybe just bringing him here would help to change him. I am sure everyone else thought the same thing as me, he never showed any outward signs or issues." Ezekiel typed on his computer for a moment and brought up a video of him talking to Erik the other day.
After the video finished Steve said, "You are right, I was with him a lot and I never noticed his anger."
Ezekiel nodded as he said, "He hid it well. But it has now been dealt with. That being said, I took him to Wakanda and let him talk with the king." Another video came up and played everything that happened in the council room.
Once finished Peggy said, "That wasn't that bad, no one was killed. It's not like we can't reach out and negotiate with them."
Hank shook his head as he said, "They also stole five tons of vibranium."
Peggy turned to glare at Ezekiel as she said, "Why the hell would you do that?"
Ezekiel shrugged as he said, "We could use it."
"But now we have to deal with a powerful new enemy."
Ezekiel shook his head as he said, "No, if they do anything they will be looking for Erik and a person who doesn't exist. Plus I want Erik to become friends with his cousin and the future king of Wakanda. Then we won't have to worry about any real fall out… Maybe."
Fury glanced up from his computer as he asked, "So what are we going to do with Erik then?"
Ezekiel smiled as he looked over to Fury as he said, "He wants to join us. We will need to train him up, but he will be a great asset."
Steve shook his head as he said, "No, I don't agree with that. I don't mind the gym class we are doing, but I won't train kids to fight."
"That's fine, I can have one of my agents do it."
Steve looked over at Fury as he said, "No, we shouldn't be training kids to fight."
"It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war."
Steve looked at Tao as he said, "We are talking about training kids to fight, to kill."
Tao nodded her head as she said, "You were a kid when you went to war."
Steve shook his head as he said, "I was in my twenties already."
"Like I said, you were a child. Erik made a choice to join us, we should respect that choice and treat him like an adult."
Steve looked like he was going to disagree when Ezekiel said, "Steve, if it was normal kids I would agree. But all of the kids we brought in are here for a reason. If we didn't bring in Erik, he would have gone to M.I.T. and after he graduated he would have joined the Navy SEAL's and earn the nickname Killmonger."
Ezekiel typed on his computer and pulled up a picture of Grant Ward. Ezekiel looked back at Steve as he said, "Grant is here because he would have been picked up by Hydra and made a sleeper agent in Shield if we didn't collect him. Every kid we have here can be great assets to us, but like I told Fury about Cessily. I will never force any of them to join us."
Ezekiel let out another sigh as he said, "I told Erik, say the word and I will get him into any college he wants. He said he wanted to join us and fight. You can talk to him about it if you want, but I doubt you can change his mind."
Ezekiel looked over at Hank as he said, "Erik also wants to learn mechanical engineering, I told him we would come up with a lesson plan to get him a degree in it."
Hank smiled as he said, "Sounds good to me, I will talk to Darren later about it. We can come up with a lesson plan and even give him experience helping out in the lab."
Ezekiel looked back at Steve as he said, "I was hoping you and Logan would train Erik. But I won't try to force you to do something you aren't comfortable with."
Steve shook his head as he said, "I still don't like the idea. But it looks like if I don't do it, someone else will. I will talk with Erik and if I can't talk him out of it, then I will train him. The same goes for the other kids if they decide to join us."
Ezekiel nodded his head as he said, "Sounds go to me, what about everyone else?"
Everyone agreed, so Ezekiel pulled up the satellite feed of Bucky again. He had made it to some deserted area and was waiting. Ezekiel started to type again and after a minute another image came up, it was a small jet flying. Ezekiel looked up as he said, "It looks like this is his ride, we just need to track this and we should find where they have been hiding him and the others."
