"What is this place?" I ask, following Everett into the large building.

"Borrowing it from a friend for this investigation." He replies briskly. "Let's just hope she's not home."

"So what will we do from here?" I hurry to keep up with the agent before me, Nakia and Okoye following close behind me. "Klaue will be taken back to Wakanda-"

"Oh, I don't think so." Ross turns around to face me and gestures for us to set down at a desk. "He's a criminal and he's in my custody. It's kind of my job to deal with him. You understand." He pats my shoulder causing Okoye to tense.

"If he touches you again-"

"EVERETT!" His eyes widen and he shrinks back in his seat as the female voice rings through the office.

"Sir- she won't stop," another agent pants, running into the room.

"Is that who I think it is?" Everett whispers, watching the guard carefully. He nods shakily and Everett sighs. "Just let her in, I don't want to be cleaning up after her if you resist."

A few minutes later loud crashes are heard through the halls as a y/h/c woman strides into the room, slapping Ross harshly across the face.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" She seethes. She pulls down the sunglasses on her face and pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing. "Why are you here?" I cock my head to the side, trying to pick up where I've seen her before. As I study her, her eyes glaze over me and she smirks. "Reminiscing kitty?"

"Try me, I'm no weak baby kitty, believe that."

"Who the fuck wears a cat mask to a fight? It's not Halloween newbie."

"Oh, shit..."

"You..." I stutter angrily, pointing at her accusingly. "I can't- I- you attacked me!" Okoye stands up suddenly and the woman moves back defensively, pulling the belt on her dress to reveal a crimson suit. "What happened to no fancy suits?"

"I upgraded after getting released from prison my prince," she mutters, her eyes fixated on my friend and personal guard. "And to set the record straight, you attacked me and my family first."

"That was no family." I chuckle darkly and she whips to face me, brushing past the surprised women with me and sticking her finger in my chest, resulting in a sharp tug from Okoye and Nakia.

"Don't you dare speak about them like that!" She spits, pulling away from us and settling behind the desk. "They may be dysfunctional but they were all I had. Until this job that is."

"How did you get this job after prison?" Nakia asks carefully, settling beside me.

"Deal with the government," she replies cooly, kicking her feet up on the desk and gesturing to a glowing device attached to her ankle. "The famous, Crimson Shadow agrees to work for the government in return for freedom. Not the worst deal I've made."

"So you are the Crimson Shadow?" Okoye asks, shocked at the overwhelming information.

"Yes, but call me y/n." She smiles gently. "I don't often use my superhero name anymore. Most people only use it when I'm on the field."

"Well get that name ready. BOMB GET DOWN." Nakia yells. As we all duck for cover, I see y/n push Nakia down under a desk and cry out in pain. I sit up and for a moment, everything slows down as I race out the door. A mysterious man in a mask dragging Klaue into a truck, my father's ring attached to the chain around his neck. I glance at my own ring as they drive away and turn when Okoye calls my name.

"It's Nakia." She breathes out. I run back to my best friend only to find her kneeling beside y/n, who is once again clutching her side.

"I can't catch a fucking break!" She shrieks as Nakia tries her best to heal her.

"She pushed me out of the way," Nakia gasps as I hug her. "She saved my life, we have to save her." I nod quickly and scoop y/n up into my arms.

In Shuri's lab...

"Will she be ok?" I ask nervously, tapping my fingers against the lab table. It's been a couple of days since we lost Klaue and y/n has been unconscious since we got back.

"Brother how many times must I tell you," Shuri sighs, annoyed with my pestering. "Your girlfriend will be fine." I scoff, looking down to hide my embarrassment. "And don't try to deny it. You've never cared for anyone other than family and Nakia this way. And Nakia is like our sister." I shrug, remaining silent.

I couldn't fall for this girl. We had barely fought a few weeks ago, I almost got her killed, twice now and she was so annoying. Her nicknames, the way she talked, her walk when she was fired up, and the way her hair-

"Hey! Did you hear me?" My sister snaps me out of my thoughts. "She's waking up." I turn to her immediately and grasp her hand as she sits up slowly.

"What the fuck?" She groans and I chuckle, causing her to throw up her hands in a fighting stance.

"Hey, it's ok." I hold up my hands in surrender and she sighs, laying back down on the table. "How do you feel?" Y/n shrugs, studying my face carefully before smiling weakly.

"I'm ok... I think. Just tired."

"Yeah, you took quite the hit. Thank you for saving Nakia, she's like my sister and I can't even begin to think of how to repay you." She shrugs, blushing slightly.

"Just everyday superhero stuff you know?" We laugh and sit for a moment. "So um, how long will I be staying here?"

"Oh as long as you like!" I say, too quickly. She quirks a brow and it's my turn to blush. "I mean, you could stay for however long you feel necessary."

"Then I guess I better get comfy..." she pauses, waiting for me.

"T'Challa," I respond after a moment, realizing I hadn't formally introduced my name. "Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, where you are now."

"King, actually." Shuri corrects me, tapping her bracelet and getting vitals. "And her vitals look fine."

"Thank you for saving me, you must be kitty's sister." I groan and drop my head to my hands. "Oh c'mon, if you're gonna deal with me for a while you better get used to the nicknames." I grimace and she laughs, patting my hand.

"I'll leave you two alone," Shuri mutters, backing away. Y/n only laughs louder as my sister leaves, clutching her side slightly.

"Don't hurt yourself just yet," I say quietly, bending down to adjust her bandage. We lock eyes as our skin makes content and I smile. "We have a lot of time to spend together."
