Chapter 28 - T-Chaka

"welcome back master Jeffrey how was your night." Sebastian approached Jeffrey who was in his bat suit with his mask down. He stood before the weapon he had managed to salvage but couldn't make heads nor tails of the material much less the weapon itself.

"what do you think of this?" Jeffrey asked Sebastian who was now right by him. Sebastian took a closer look at the weapon before speaking up, "I have never seen anything like this, if anything it is similar to the alien technology you brought over sir" as he said that he looked at the Bat suit which had incorporated said Alien Technology.

"I thought so at first, but after further analysis that doesn't seem to be the case. This metal has been recorded before in S.H.I.E.L.D database but the recorded amount was just enough to make a shield." Jeffrey spoke more as he did his thoughts went to a certain African country unfortunately he had yet to visit there and was clueless on how to manipulate said metal.

But on a more alarming issue Jeffrey was curious as to who was responsible for selling these things were they a rouge member of Wakanda or an invader who stole said weapons, with that thought his suspect list was instantly shortened.

"Sir" Sebastian's voice brought Jeffrey out of his thoughts, "yes Sebastian."

"I'd like to remind you that you have a meeting to attend to and would be advisable if you change into your other suit sir." Jeff remembered he did indeed have such a meeting which was to discuss with a certain small country on some things although he couldn't exactly remember which small country it was exactly. " I best not keep them waiting then."

That morning Jeff was in a neat Armani tux seating in his office, it was almost time and from his secretary he was quite sure the guest would be arriving in a few minutes.

At that moment a dark skinned man walked in surrounded by guards. Jeff was at least able to narrow down the continent seeing the man, stretching out his hand he introduced himself but as he heard the rulers name, his mind went into overdrive trying to figure out why that name was important but with the name of the country it all made sense, before him was none other than king T-Chaka the king of Wakanda and current black panther.

The meeting was soon over after an hour or so, but Jeffrey was even more suspicious. After an hour of talks Jeffrey felt as though T-Chaka was not hear for a partnership but rather using the whole thing as some sort of cover up and if Jeffrey had to guess he was here for the stolen Wakandan Tech.

George Stacy was getting ready for his press conference, over the years he had worked with Batman and kept the streets as safe as possible. Now all his had work had paid of as he was now about to accept his promotion as Captain.

"How do I look?" George turned to the lady standing by himself, "as handsome as the day I first met you." The lady who was none other than George Stacy's wife, Helen Stacy leaned in giving him a kiss.

"get a room you two." A voice broke up the two turning to the source George saw none other than his daughter "Gwen, where are your brothers, your supposed to be looking after them." George asked "oh, gave them a pile of chocolate they should be fine." "what, Gwen you know better than to give the boys chocolate!" Helen scolded her daughter as she rushed out the room.

George and Gwen watched her leave before breaking out in laughter. "so you nervous dad?" Gwen asked her father, "nah, I'm good just a press conference, I've done this countless times."

"is he going to be there?" "who?" "the batman!" Gwen answered excitedly, she had heard so many tales about the guy and she wanted nothing more than to meet the guy.

George sighed seeing the excited look on his daughter's face, "Gwen, sweetheart I don't think he'll be coming." "why not? you're friends aren't you?" "It's complicated sweetheart" He kissed his daughter's head "I've got to go" Gwen stood in place watching her father's back as he left.

The reporters were outside all with their cameras as the watched George Stacy move unto the platform and Shake hands with the mayor, before turning to give his speech. George speech spoke of his hopes and dreams and what he hoped to accomplish when someone suddenly shouted for everyone to get down as a blast came aimed for George but a batarang appeared before himself protecting him.

The shooter hopped back into the van and escaped, looking up to where the batarang was from George spotted a shadow of a figure before the disappeared.
