  –Jack Sullivan–

  “Hmm, this is taking lohan I expected,” He muttered to himself as he floated on top of the dockyard with the ships littered below. It retty te in the night here so he was not expeg any activity on the ships but it would seem that this entire area was a budding area for shady activities so he could see almost all of the ships having armed people. People were armed with rifles, and pistols, and most of them had those in their hands, ready to aim it and blow someone’s head off, instead of having them cealed. Well, it was not called no man’s nd for nothing then. So far, his barriers had sed all of the ships by flying overboard which yielded zero results so he began sing them from the inside which was very slow going. So far, he had sed about half of the ships, and the sun was already rising. If he went at the same pace, something unated fht happen and he did not want that to happen. He had already wasted way too much time on this.

  Kue was not the person he would bee iure, armed with enhaech that would increase his danger rating. At this point, all the people below him had guns and grenades, at best. Things that could not breach his barriers even if he stayed in the same pd let them shoot tinuously for hours on end.

  He was hesitating because he or rather his signature green barriers were known globally now and while he had given no interviews where he had given the slightest hint of his whereabouts, he retty sure that SHIELD was actively trag his energy signature to figure out where he was stating. That would mean that the moment he would use his bigger avatars, SHIELD and HYDRA would know and then they would iigate. He did not want that. For one, bringing more attention to the hidden nation of Wakanda would not go well with their ruling cil, he would wager. Sedly, he would have to someday answer some questions that the gover would have for him and he did not want them to e even closer in their quest to find Vibranium. After all, he still remembered the reason why Namor had e out and sughtered the royal family of Wakanda. It was because of increased human activity searg for Vibranium deposits outside of Wakanda. So, keeping the gover’s eye as far away from Vibranium as possible would be the best.

  “Sigh. This sucks,” He muttered to himself as he increased the amount of barriers searg for Kue. He had no other way of figuring out his location because all he knew was the face of Kue, none of his subordinates was well-known or explored in the movies. He didn’t even know if Kue was here or not but if the movies were to be believed, he did not move from this pce for a long time so there retty good ce that Kue was…

  “Got him,” He dispelled all the barriers except the ohat showed Kue speaking with someone on his ptop at his desk. He carefully dropped himself ier far away from Kue’s ships and slowly began making his way towards him. His barriers meant that he was now in an airtight enclosure with enough oxygen for minutes for a normal person. He was ly a normal person so he could stay in an oxygen-defit enviro for far longer so that was a non-issue for him.

  Slowly, he sarallel to the ground as the downside of Kue’s ship became visible to him. He could sense Kue was doh his talk and was now smoking in his office. He jured a small barrier right on top of his head to get a better view and saw that his office was pletely empty. By now, he was right under Kue’s ship. All he o know before he took a was to find out the location of the Vibranium, otherwise, this whole thing might turn out to be a failure because he was not very adept at interrogation teiques.

  Well, that would be a lie since had multiple memories of Jack Sullivan, the HYDRA soldier who was trained on that and more but the memories were so brutal that he had already sciously suppressed them. He had a hunch that someday, iure, he would have to sult someone about that because just letting that sit in his head without addressing it did not seem healthy but all that could e ter. Now, he had to cat actual terrorist and give back the Vibranium to Wakanda. Vibranium that could ter be used to create an asteroid falling oh situation by a hyper-advanced AI who was vihat humanity o experien Extin level event to evolve and bee stronger because its code was pletely promised by some sort of failsafe that Thanos put in the scepter as part of its defenses.

  Dispelling the barriers around Kue, he created a minuscule ht below the ship and had it drilled right into the ship. His eyebrows shot up as he entered resistanormal wood and steel would not give that much resistance. He willed the barrier to start spinning as a makeshift drill was made. As soon as some progress was made in the barrier, he could see that Kue was startled as he immediately stood up from his chair and started shouting at his men. Also, the sirens that immediately rang and were now audible even uer made him aware that Kue was aware of the breabsp;

  Good news, it meant that the VIbranium robably here. Bad news, he might have to go for the fshy approach right now.

  Okay, no problem, he would just have to hit hard and fast. Take the Vibranium, knock out Kue and his crew and ohat is done, just take them all uer. Then, he could figure out a way t them both to Wakanda’s borders.

  OR…

  His eyes kled mischievously as he abandoned his previous pn. Instead, the barrier maed above Kue was dispelled and in its pce, a much rger one appeared and covered Kue pletely in a cube. He could see Kue’s eyes widening in realisation as he began banging on the barriers. Huh, so he was reised then.

  The moment, multiple rge barriers appeared underh the ship as big holes were drilled into the ship, letting water into the hull. He thehe same barriers in the ship and pulled.

  He had already e out of the water and was not floating far above as he watched Kue’s crew panic as his absenly exacerbated things. With a loud groan, the ship began falling apart as the water in the ship began doing its thing. Seeing that their boss was o be seen, the skeletohat mahe ship began jumping out of the now partially drowned ship. Some of them got lucky to find lifeboats but the majority of them just began swimming back to the shore. He would let them go, he had no pns of taking them with him after all.

  He looked at the ship that was now pletely submerged, along with Kue of course. Kue had stopped banging on the shields as he sat on the ground, looking oddly calm as he looked at the water gathering around him. Ohe entire ship was uer and even the bubbles had stopped ing, he willed for the barriers surrounding the Vault to break away from the ship, along with Kue. In a matter of moments, the very big Vault was taken miles away into the o at top speed with him following suit.

  He then willed the vault and Kue to e out of the water. Kue had long siopped struggling and didn’t even show much of a rea as he finally saw his abductor. Well, he then promptly began ughing loudly as he poi him.

  Well, he was insane anyway, everyone khat. You had to have the guts to steal from Wakanda, especially in the year he did. In 1992, America was way behind Wakanda who already had stealth fighters that didn’t need jet fuel to fun. Even now, in 2012, the gover did not actually have a viable way of runnis without burning fossil fuel. Well, Tony should have something soon but it remains to be seen if the stubbover and Army would accept that or not. Plus, that could be seen as manufacturing ons which was a big no-no for Stark and anything associated with his hat was kind of his whole shtick for now, not manufacturing ons for anyone else while he himself was in possession uably the most revolutionary on sihe Nuclear on itself.

  He sighed and shook his head, ign Kue as he focused on the Vault itself. It seemed very advanced for something that was installed on a ship that was half rotten. The unlog meism seemed very advanced and had slots for fingers and even eyes. So, biometrilock with a keypad for extra codes. Kue apparently paid top dolr for something like this to be made. Made seh the merdise that was inside.

  He looked at Kue who raised his while smirking defiantly, thinking that a lock of this size would stop him. Did he not see him lifting aire tainer ship, gra was ly using his powers and the strain was imme he could do it, granted ditions matched.

  The smirk was soon wiped off Kue’s face as he watched his precious Vault deform and crumble as four barriers appeared around it and then pressed on all sides. The thing about such advanced Vaults was they usually had some sort of failsafe in the event of forced intrusions like the one he was doing but they usually did one of two things. Either they destroyed the materials inside, depriving the intruder of it forever or they exploded the vault, taking the intruder along with the merdise.

  In the current situation, the thing was that the intruder was him, someoh near unbreakable shields, so he was unscathed from the ensuing explosion. The merdise inside was Vibranium, the stro material on the p so damaging it was out of the question.

  This led to the current situation. Kue looked ned as the Vault he had paid probably a million dolrs for, fell apart in pieces and dropped into the o below as all that was left was aire row of shelves filled up with tainers having raw ued Vibranium ihem. The shelves seemed to be Wakandan-made as well, judging by the various symbols carved on them.

  He g Kue who gred at him and with a gesture, created a barrier behind him that promptly dropped on his head, knog him out. He had gotten a lot better with that gesture. It is really hard to accurately regute the foreeded to just knock out a person, instead of giving them perma spinal damage. Dozens of rapists had died in his efforts to learn to subdue people nohally. Their sacrifice will be fotten, as it should be sidering their crimes and their noant natures.

  “Now, Wakanda. I really don’t want to deal with their xenophobia. It’s hypocrisy in its most ironical way,” He muttered to himself as a co covered himself, Kue, and the Vibranium as he opened a portal to the area where Killmonger had first introduced himself to the Border Tribe. God, it was going to be so exhausting dealing with them and he was an all-powerful super soldier.

  Crossing the portal, he was immediately treated to the sight of dozens of Border Tribe members scrambling to gather in front of the road that led to their fake “third world” try. It figures they detected the portal.

  They probably have been researg ways to ralise him. Well, he hoped that they did not find much success in their endeavour, not that he was expeg this to turn into a fight.

  He dispelled his Power Ranger armour aed back to the sed skin he kept on himself, well, sans the mask of course. He was not going to reveal his face to a fn nation, ohat had killed hundreds of stists around the world just to maintain its teological lead over the rest of the world. He really hoped that T’Chal would put ao that ignominious practice because he would have some choice words with him if he did not do it.

  He then slowly dropped down on the ground in front of the gathering Border Tribe members. He was sure that there were probably Raptors being mobilised in case things turned out to be bad but he was hoping not to go to that level.

  “Greetings,” He bowed to the man who seemed to be in charge. He did not look like the Border Tribe head who was shown in the movies. Made sense as it would not be the same person who would be responsible for staying out and guarding their utopia without ever getting to experie. That would suck.

  “Outsider,” The person said as his gaze rolled over the blocks of green behind him. Oh yeah, he could turn his barriers opaque or translut on will so he had hidden them frand reveal but judging from the reas he was getting from the people here, he would have to show them Kue if he wanted any eeting T’Chaka or T’Chal. e to think of it, shouldn’t T’Chal be in college or something?

  “For urpose have you e here? We do not wele your people here,” He said and bared his teeth at him in a threateniure, the people behind him tensing as well. Well, there goes his grand reveal.

  “Well, I have a gift that I am sure King T’Chaka would appreciate,” He said as he brought Kue’s cage to the forefront, the mere activity of doing that without moving any part of his body causing the warriors behind him to draw their spears. The cage stopped the moment the first spear was drawn, causing the person in front of him to raise his hand, making the others calm down.

  He raised an eyebrow internally. He must be someone iial if they were listening so easily to him.

  Ohe people calmed down, he brought and dropped Kue’s cage iween both of them. He then willed the barrier to bee translut, the a once again startling some of the soldiers behind. Seriously, her-happy were these people? It was like they were Ameris, which was ironice they were the “backward” people in the opinion of Wakandans.

  “Who is that?”

  He looked at the person in fusion. Did he nhe biggest criminal in Wakanda?

  He looked at the cage only to see Kue had colpsed on the barrier, face first. He rolled his eyes and waved his arm, the first visible a he had done since he nded here. The a even caused the pretty calm person in front of him to tense slightly but he soon calmed down as he saw that the only ges happenio the cage as the barrier dispelled and Kue colpsed on the ground, groaning in pain.

  “All yours,” He gestured to Kue. The person looked at him and then waved his hand once again, causing one of the people behind him to break the fnk and e forward to che Kue. He slowly rolled him over and gasped as he saw Kue’s fabsp;

  Ah, so he remembers then.

  “Chief, it’s Kue. Ulysses Kue,”

  “What?!” The Chief, as he was addressed, sowards Kue and then after taking one look at him, ran towards Kue and then opened his mouth to see the brand.

  “Arrest him. Alert the King. We have Kue in custody,” He decred which caused all of the men behind him to breakout iement. Some of them came forward and snapped on some cuffs on Kue as they dragged his unscious ass to prison.

  “What do you want? Where did you find him? What is behind you?” The Chief came bad asked him. He raised an eyebrow internally as he was expeg him to demand something of him.

  Apparently, his powers must have spooked them into actually behaving. What a great thing because he was sure that had it been anybody other than someone of his not-insignifit powers, they would have beeher turned away or put into handcuffs and arrested on the spot.

  “I want to meet King T’Chaka. Tell him I have very important news for him,” He said and then turned around, deliberately showing his back to them as a sign of trust not that they would have been able to do anything to his barriers. He did ly have a way to test his barriers against Vibranium spears but he had multiple yers so he supposed that he would be fine.

  He then floated up to the block that had the stolen Vibranium in it and y atop it.

  “Tell me when he is ready to meet me,” He said and then closed his eyes. He was actually ready to leave altogether but it would be a waste if he could not squeeze some advantages out of this and barging in with force would destroy any ce of a diplomatic retionship between them. Well, that and he was unsure if there was anenius of Shuri’s calibre in Wakanda who could whip up some crazy out-of-this-world on that would breach his barriers.

  As far as he khere were theories thrown around that Vibranium was actually the flesh of Celestials. That was why it had all those miraculous energy-maniputing properties, because it was made from beings who were once masters of energy and matter maniputions, making them gods. Celestials were also known users of iergy, something that was so heavy that even most immortals are uo use it properly. That energy was also very close to the Power i terms of density and impact so he did not want to take any ces with Wakanda having some sort of super on that involved iergy, however unlikely it may be.

  Sometimes, it is better to just take a step bad let them take the step. Especially, when it came to monarchies of the level of Wakanda. They most certainly have a very huge ego and if it were not for Kue and his public status of being perhaps the most powerful known human on the phey would have dragged him in with Kue as well and treated him as a criminal too.

  He spread out his barriers around him and had them move around stantly, as a way of deteg their raptors and also increasing his awareness range. As far as he khey had a holographic shield geor but he had portals that could easily breach through them. They probably khat but barging in straight into their kingdom and opening a portal iy and then handing over his gift would have most certainly looked rude and even treasonous in their eyes, leading to deterioratiions with Wakanda.

  Ah, he hoped that the younger geion soon took charge of Wakanda. It would get so stuffy dealing with the eion with a sti their butts the whole time. Hopefully, T’Chal was already the Bck Panther, which would make some things easier and some even more difficult.

  He was still unsure of how to deal with the information surrounding Killmonger. It was not as if the King would take it kindly to him airing out his family undry to everyone in the Kingdom but having a private audieh him would be difficult to get, especially with his powers sihat might make King T’Chaka unfortable. After all, being in the presence of someone who could easily kill you in a moment would always be nerve-wrag for anyone, let alone someone like T’Chaka who had everything to lose and nothing to gain, from his perspective, from a meeting with him.
