Chapter 103 - Surprise

*Cough* *Cough* The sound from behind them caused both Peter and Shuri to freeze for a second as they realized for just how long they had been hugging each other. Peter looked to the side and saw the small smile that framed T'Chaka's face as he watched the two.

Quickly letting go, he didn't notice the small blush that Shuri had as she pulled back and regained her royal bearing, though he did catch her rolling her eyes as she moved back. "I'm sure you and Shuri can catch up in a minute, but we have one last important task to finish up."

A look of understanding passed through Shuri's eyes before she became excited again and bounced forwards. "Right! Right! We were tracking the signature of Vibranium on our satellites when it all of suddenly disappeared. I told them it had to be you who did it..." She trailed off as she waited for Peter to nod.

Peter stepped back for a second at her bubbly attitude, while mutely nodding his head. Her eyes seemed to shine as she got confirmation. "...How did you do it? Tell me! A new invention?! Something that creates a pocket dimension?! Tell me!" Shuri's inquisitive mind worked overtime as theories played one after the other, trying to think of how he transported all the vibranium back.

She was practically shaking him down for answers as T'Challa stifled a small snicker behind them. Ramonda let out a small sigh as she rolled her eyes before she stepped forward and pulled back her daughter.

"Calm down, calm down. I'm sure if you would let him speak, he'll tell you in a second." Shuri seemed to snap out of it after hearing the words and looked around at the few Dora Milaje that were looking her way. Okoye herself was having trouble keeping her mouth in a straight line.

Shuri turned quite and hid behind her mother to hide her blush as Peter let out a small smile at the antics, sending one last amused smirk Shuri's way he turned to the queen. "Yes, I'll do better than telling you, I'll show you. Come out Venom."

Shuri slightly furrowed her brows as she heard the name, but said nothing and instead watched, a small part of her scientific mind having wanted to see the specimen for a long time. Okoye and a few others of the Dora Milaje stiffened and prepared themselves for battle as they watch a small blob of tar seem to appear from out of Peter's body.

There was something about the black dot that set them on edge. Okoye moved slightly closer to her king as Venom hoped off Peter's shoulder and moved a slight distance away where no one was located. Suddenly swelling to a mass size, that caused all the other guards to prepare their spears, it created a sort of black box then sat there for a good 20 seconds before it slowly retracted.

Shrinking back down to size, as Venom moved away, the square block stayed the same and before the shocked eyes of the Royal family and Dora Milaje 1 Ton of Vibranium appeared before them. Ramonda tried to keep a steely facade up, but she was having trouble as her eyes widened at the sight.

T'Chaka himself stepped back in shock for a second before calming himself down. But both of them did better than T'Challa whose jaw dropped open at the sight. Shuri just had enough presence of mind to use her index finger to close it shut for him.

Peter looked on trying to retain a giggle at the sight, wishing he had a camera on him. Unlike the Royal family the Dora Milaje standing around were now on high alert as they looked at Venom as he made its way back to Peter.

They said nothing but were ready to pounce if needed. They didn't let their guards down until Venom had retreated right back into Peter's body. If they could have seen his face, they would have seen Peter giving them a smug look.

Everyone was still trying to come to terms with what they just saw, but before anything could be said Shuri dashed forwards once more. Quickly grabbing onto Peter's hand she dragged him off towards her lab as she yelled back over her shoulder.

"Well now that, that's done I'll be showing Peter around! See you guys at Dinner!" T'Chaka didn't get to say anything as he watched his daughter disappear around a corner. From where they stood they could just hear Shuri begin to question Peter.

"Since when could you do that! Does it store that in a pocket dimension?! How does it connect to the pocket dimension? When did you find out it could do that? Didn't you have a falling out with it a year or two ago? How did you get around the...."

T'Challa couldn't help it anymore and let out a small laugh as he shook his head at his sisters antics. Stepping forwards he began to inspect the Vibranium, to see if any had been used before they had gotten it back. A few of the Dora Milaje stepped forwards to help him with the task as, T'Chaka and Ramonda looked at each other for a few seconds before smiling.

Stepping closer to each other they both gave a small laugh as T'Chaka took his wife's hand and moved back towards the palace. There were other matters he had to attend to.

(Shuri's Lab)

Shuri quickly put the code into the keypad to her personal lab before dragging Peter inside. No one was inside the room that had different piece of equipment and wiring littered about the place. In the middle of the room sat a work bench that had different gadgets scattered about, while on the walls were different cabinets holding who knows what.

A few holograms were left open as they floated in the air as Shuri moved by them. Peter just let her take control and looked about the room in wonder. He had been to the Baxter building a few times to meet with the fantastic four, but even then, the tech inside Shuri's lab was a nerds wet dream!

'I don't think it would be a good idea letting Reed in here.' That was Peter's quite thought as he took everything in. Off to the side her caught sight of a few manikins with Black Panther helmets for heads. 'Is she upgrading the Panther suit?'

Yes Peter did know that Wakanda's people worshiped the Panther goddess Bast and that the king was their greatest warrior and protector, the Black Panther. He also knew that with their advanced technology the Black Panther had one of, if not the most advanced suit in the world. Better than even Tony Stark.

As Shuri was probably the smartest inventor in Wakanda at the moment, it was no wonder that she would be upgrading the suit, or that's what Peter was thinking as Shuri finally stopped in front of him. Turning to loom at Peter, Shuri put her hands on her h.i.p.s and pouted at him as if she was angry about something.

"Ok take it off."

Peter paused for a second.

"Wait what?"
