Shuri then led me to a more secluded section where her guards tried to block my harem from following.
"I won't follow you any further if you don't allow me to take a few of my women with me"
Shuri: This involves state secrets so they can't come
"Then I believe that we're through talking if I can't bring anyone"
Shuri: Why are you being so difficult!
"Because I am not your subject to order around as you please and why would I fully cooperate with someone who has been hostile in the past?"
Shuri: I can promise that you will not be harmed in any way
"Would you trust those words from me?"
Shuri: Of course not
"Then you have your answer"
Unknown: He has a point sister
Shuri: And your not helping sister
I never expected that instead of seeing famous prince of Wakanda T'challa I instead see what appeared to be a another princess. She appeared to be the older one as she was definitely more filled out to the point that it was hard not to stare. Like most women in this universe she was gorgeous I wasn't really a fan of Black Panther before but I should have taken a second look if she was there.
"And who are you"
T'challa: I'm T'challa our father really wanted a son hence the reason for my name as he refused to change his mind
What kind of lazy ass writing is that? Did the author really shoehorn the idea of gender bent character? First Harry now T'challa I know that the Multiverse is real and technically such a setting could exist but really?
T'challa: I understand that the situation would make it difficult to trust especially given your past interactions with my sister. So if it will make you feel better may bring a few companions but please no more than three. Also be certain that you can trust them.
"Selina, Felicia and Luka come with me the rest can continue to mingle with crowd until we return"
Natasha wanted to say something but chose to keep her mouth shut for the moment. As for the royal guards they didn't seem to like me very much especially after my interaction with Shuri. It was only thanks to T'challa that they weren't trying to take direct action against me. When were finally alone Shuri activated a shield around us and a jamming device.
"I take it we're free to talk openly now?"
Shuri: Yes, I temporarily blocked the electronic devices around here and setup something so we won't be overheard
T'challa: Thank you sister. Now let's start off with an easy question to assure trust between us. When you spoke with my sister you mentioned that you were going to acquire Vibranium. My question is did you use a smuggler?
"I said to Shuri that I wouldn't and I haven't. I now have a stable supplier that is willing to work with me to achieve my goals."
Shuri: Who is your supplier than if it's not a smuggler?
"We are not allies as of this moment so I won't just give you this information for free. Besides they're my business partners why would I betray their trust for you?"
T'chall: Understandable, You claim that your goal is to elevate humanity and my sister has asked for proof and you have exceeded this with terraforming the asteroid. There is also the rumor that you claimed that Victor von Doom was a candidate for this god emperor position is this true?
"Of course it is although lacking in a few areas he was an ideal candidate had he not stepped off the path I would have supported him to the very end"
Shuri: But he is dictator and a known super villain
"So what, it is the Victor that gets to determine right and wrong morality is just a construct of human invention"
Shuri: I knew that I was right about you!
T'challa: Shuri calm down. I want Julian to elaborate on what was said. Why don't you think morals matter
Luka: It's because they don't. When lives are at stake concepts like morality just get in the way. You wouldn't... no you couldn't understand because you live with abundance so you have the luxury of morality. Those of us born on worlds with less than nothing and are forced to make do learn early that those grand concepts are just ideas that are easily thrown away in a crisis and when every hour is a crisis... well I don't think I need to explain further.
