Bride of the Panther - Part 1
The Black Panther, king of Wakanda, flies back to his native Africa, after an adventure in America, thinking over the advice that his mother had recently given him on choosing a bride to become his queen. He begins to ponder how alone he has felt, despite being surrounded by people.
(Wakanda 10 years ago)
     The rain pours down as T’Challa spars with T’Shan, son of the Regent, in the streets of Wakanda. The two teenage boys discuss the question of who will be king one day. Evenly matched in battle, the boys easily discuss their futures. T’Challa reasons that since his father was king, he will take the throne. T’Shan points out since he is the son of the Regent, the honor would be passed to him instead. T’Shan asks if T’Challa would support him as king, but T’Challa laughs and sends T’Shan falling, telling him he will never be king because he spends too much scheming and not enough time practicing his fighting skills.
(The Present)
     The Black Panther continues to reminisce over his past and his loneliness. His mind wanders back to times past. He thinks of his walkabout in his youth as he travels in the very same direction. T’Challa muses about how excited he was for his walkabout, finally being able to come into manhood on his own. He longed for a friend, and though his mind recalls villagers, he remembers that the journey’s most amazing sight was a young girl that he met named Ororo Munroe.
     His mind slips back to his current trek and he thinks of how if his journey succeeds then he will never need to worry about being alone again. He thinks of the words of his mother, “There is no greater challenge to a warrior than to open his heart to love.”
(New York, Two Days Ago)
     Luke Cage and the Black Panther fly back to New York after their recent adventure. The two share a laugh, and when Luke calls Black Panther “your highness,” Panther insists that he call him T’Challa, causing Luke to state that he just wants to brag about his “being down with the king.”
     Luke apologizes for taking T’Challa out of his way, but the Black Panther insists that he was heading to New York anyway. After Luke questions his business in New York, T’Challa replies that he is looking for home. Luke Cage takes a minute to track T’Challa’s thoughts and asks if he’s talking about Storm.
     There is a silence between the two men, and Luke tries to cover it up with stating that it isn’t his place to speak badly “on another man’s woman.” Luke explains that he doesn’t have a beef with Storm, but that she always seemed stuck up and unwilling to date brothers. He justifies his opinion by explaining how some Africans are snooty and arrogant toward African-Americans.
 T’Challa then begins to explain the history of the woman Ororo Munroe, stating that it all began with Malcolm X.
Malcolm X travelled to Africa after a trip to Mecca with numerous aides. Among them were Harriet Munroe and her son, David. The group met with several heads of state including T’Chaka, T’Challa’s father.
     Though Malcolm X was later assassinated, the young boy named David grew up to become a student at the University of Kenya. There he met another student, N’Dare, who happened to be a Kenyan princess. The two fell in love, married, and had a child.
     Luke Cage is intrigued by the woman he hardly knows. He asks how T’Challa met Storm, and T’Challa explains that it was when she was a pickpocket in the African outback. He tells Luke that Ororo’s parents were killed in a bombing, and afterwards, the young Storm was taken in by thieves who taught her how to survive. Once her powers emerged, Ororo left Egypt and became a goddess figure to nomads in barren Africa. Later, she was recruited by Charles Xavier to become an X-Man.
     Though Luke has questions, like why Ororo’s family never went looking for her, the jet has arrived at Luke’s house. Luke’s wife, Jessica Jones, runs out with their newborn to meet Luke. Though, Luke jokes that T’Challa had best be careful what he wishes for with marriage. As the jet takes off, T’Challa leaves Jessica Jones wishing she had combed her hair before seeing a celebrity.
(The Present- T’Challa’s jet )
     T’Challa continues to fly over Africa. This time, he is wondering why he should have to endure pain when he could simply walk away. He thinks of all the women below him in the houses he is flying over and wonders why he is doing all this for her.
( Years Ago)
     T’Chaka, T’Challa’s father, speaks to his son about love while his guards look on. T’Chaka explains that many people enter and remain in unhappy relationships far too often, but that romantic love is the highest ideal. He tells T’Challa that he loves his wife, and not just because she is from a good family, is strong, intelligent, and beautiful, but because she still affects him so long after having met. T’Challa is worried that this all sounds impossible, but his father insists that he not worry. T’Chaka tells his son to enjoy youth, and when he meets the one, he won’t want to ever look back.
( Shortly after first meeting Ororo)
     T’Challa remembers his first meeting and adventure with Ororo Munroe. He knows that the attraction was undeniable and all-consuming. He fell for all of her, even her being a thief. He thinks of the adventures they had including facing the Bull, but also remembers that which came between them.
     While in a market, T’Challa sees a man with a long scar running down his face. Instantly he races off screaming Klaw’s name, the man who killed his father, leaving Ororo behind.
Eventually she manages to track T’Challa down, but he is quiet and angry. Ororo tries to comfort him, but T’Challa refuses. He tells Ororo that he has responsibilities and he can’t afford any distractions. Ororo, hurt and angered, leaves T’Challa telling him he doesn’t know what’s hard, for he’s a spoiled little rich boy.
(The Present- The Sudan)
     Two slavers hold multiple women in chains, discussing their fate as clouds move in on the horizon. The women plead not to be taken advantage of. When the rain comes, they whisper prayers for the legends to be true. In a flash of lightning, Storm arrives, sending downpours to blind the men. She electrocutes one and the other gets away from her, praying that he reaches the jeep. Sand is kicked up by the winds, tearing his flesh. In the shadows, another man appears making quick work of the slaver with his claws.
     The sky clears, and with a smile, Storm begins to pick the women’s chains. The women call Storm a goddess, but she denies this. The man approaches Storm and is revealed to be Wolverine. The two X-Men discuss Storm’s recent good deeds throughout Africa, and joke and speak as old friends. Wolverine is afraid that Storm’s good deeds will cause a negative reaction.
     A jet flies in, and Wolverine comments that Storm’s boyfriend has arrived. At the same time, in the jet, the Black Panther looks down and remarks that the troll is there. Storm and Wolverine watch and smile as the Panther hands out fresh water to the women Storm freed and the other villagers.
     Wolverine sees the awkwardness between Storm and the Panther and decides that it is best for him to leave them to their moment. Storm states that the Black Panther found her. The Panther comments that it wasn’t entirely hard following fried slavers and new lakes in the desert. The two talk angrily about their past, Storm mentioning how T’Challa left her, and T’Challa speaks of how he had obligations to find his father’s killer.
     T’Challa insists that he is now the man she deserves. Though Storm believes their love was in the past and it is too late, T’Challa drops to his knees and pleads for Storm to marry him.

Bride of the Panther Part 2
In an undisclosed location, at a mansion, two warriors stand ready for their final test. Their leader explains that this is the final trial and it is down to the two of them. On his word, the warriors draw their sabers and begin their battle. At first it seems evenly matched, but then one man takes his advantage and runs the other through.
	The leader presents the champion with a magical sword, blessed armor, and flying carpet. In a wash of crimson energy, the leader declares that this man is the new Arabian Knight, and he will be the ultimate warrior against super-powered enemies of their faith.
	As the new Arabian Knight relishes in his new found power, another man begins to question the leader. He states that there already is an Arabian Knight. Their leader laughs and says that the Black Ops division of the Vatican created a new Black Knight to invade Wakanda, so this is no different. The leader explains that Africa is a volatile place and his people need a symbol to aspire to. When the second man accidentally compares the Arabian Knight to the Black Knight, the leader grows angry and tells the man he was on the verge of blasphemy. As the Arabian Knight fights other soldiers in the room, the leader calls for a full assault on an unnamed foe.
	In a sunny clearing, T’Challa kneels before Storm. She asks him to say it again, and he asks her once more if she will marry him. Both are momentarily silent. Then Storm, over the initial shock, states that she just wanted to hear him say it again. T’Challa, still on his knee, with arms outstretched, asks if he should just wait until his arms fall off.
	Above, pilots in numerous jets lock onto their target and fire.
	Storm breaks away from T’Challa and asks if he heard anything. He replied “no,” and that that was the problem. The two heroes recognize the sound and prepare themselves. T’Challa asks for a quick answer, but Ororo tells him that they need to talk. T’Challa then asks if Storm had heard it or felt it. Storm flies away as T’Challa climbs into his jet and responds that she felt the currents shift unnaturally.
	The jets fire missiles and shout that the targets are moving. Suddenly small tornadoes and crosswinds appear, shocking one of the pilots. The jets can’t take the winds and one crashes into the ground as the others evade and fly off.
	Storm floats down casually to resume the conversation. Suddenly the Arabian Knight appears on his flying carpet. Before Storm and T’Challa can talk, he interrupts threatening to kill them. T’Challa remarks that that isn’t the Arabian Knight, and Storm turns her back telling the Black Panther that whoever he is, he’s T’Challa’s problem. Black Panther easily dodges the Arabian Knight’s sword as he tells Ororo to hold on. Storm angrily replies that she’s waited too long already.
	The Arabian Knight continues to attack the Black Panther with absolutely no success. The Panther continues his conversation with Storm as he deftly dodges the haphazard slashes of the saber. T’Challa calls Storm childish, and she snaps at him. T’Challa wants forgiveness, but Ororo doesn’t accept it. As the Arabian Knight charges his saber with crimson energy, T’Challa admits that he never stopped loving Storm and her refusal of him won’t allow them happiness in the future.
	A few quick punches to the Arabian Knight’s head, and T’Challa buys a few seconds of peace. Ororo turns to face him and wonders how with all the other women T’Challa has been with he could say he’s always loved her. Once more, the Panther drops to his knee. He apologizes, insisting sometimes young men lose their heads. Meanwhile, the Arabian Knight rises for another attack. Without standing, T’Challa kicks the Knight in the groin.
	The Arabian Knight is feeling the pain, as Storm and T’Challa loosely embrace. The Black Panther tells her that he did what young men do and now he’s an adult, but he asks, if Storm still loves him. With a simple blast of lightning from her hand, Ororo ends the pathetic threat of the new Arabian Knight. The Knight collapses and T’Challa asks that they try to make it work.
	Ten minutes later and inside T’Challa’s jet, T’Challa is smiling, and Storm doesn’t understand why. She tells him that she’s agreed to spend more time with him, but to nothing else. T’Challa tells her that’s enough. The two smile at each other. Ororo remarks that T’Challa thinks he’s won. He responds that he presumes nothing and won’t bicker with her. Setting the auto-pilot, the two fly toward Wakanda.
	Five minutes later and inside the Wakandan Central Command, the workers of the center track the Black Panther’s progress back to his native country. They see that the jet has entered a storm with strange atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, they are in the heart of it. The workers silently, knowingly smile.
	Meanwhile, in Nairobi, Kenya, a soldier enters his superior’s office. The soldier informs the small man behind the desk that “she” has returned. The superior presses his fingers together and tries to figure it out. He states that she was with the X-Men, but they left and she remained. The soldier tells his superior that her activities can been seen all across the country, and unlike before she is in complete control of her abilities. The soldier explains her recent freeing of slaves and then states that the group she attacked was going to send someone in to deal with her, but the Black Panther dealt with him. The superior becomes enraged and explains that they must get ready, for he believes this could be humanity’s last stand.
	Ororo and T’Challa overlook the cheering crowds as the Black Panther’s jet returns to Wakandan airspace.
	Tightly embracing, Ororo and T’Challa speak softly to one another. That is, until Ororo asks T’Challa if his mother will be there. As soon as he says yes, Storm becomes erratic and runs to a mirror worrying about her hair and stating that she’s not even sure she likes T’Challa. He follows her to the mirror, smiles and they touch hands.
	Ororo matches his smile and wonders if she’s being ridiculous. T’Challa looks at her and jokes that he doesn’t even recognize her. Storm says that she’ll just imagine it’s something less stressful, like facing Magneto. T’Challa continues to watch her, then he reminds her that she is a princess, a goddess, and an X-Man. Ororo adds that she is also a woman. T’Challa adds that to the list.
	The jet lands, and the crowd cheers out the Panther’s name. The Panther laughs saying that his people missed him. The Panther waves and as he steps out holding Ororo’s hand, the crowd falls silent staring at the couple.
	Inside the royal bedchambers, a servant enters to inform the Queen Mother that T’Challa has returned and wants to see her. Ramonda asks for him to be sent in. The servant then tells the Queen that he is accompanied by a guest. Ramonda greets T’Challa and Ororo and welcomes them in a large hall. T’Challa quickly introduces his guest as his dear friend, Princess Ororo Munroe of Kenya. Humbly, Ororo bows. The Queen Mother smiles and says that it is about time, she’s been hearing about Ororo for ten years. Despite T’Challa’s quiet hesitation, Ramonda tells Storm to take a walk with her.
	Later, Ororo and Ramonda walk around the palace grounds. Presumably after some discussion, Ramonda tells Ororo that even though T’Challa hurt her, he never stopped loving her. Ororo accepts that coming from the Queen Mother. Ramonda next reveals that when she sent T’Challa out to find a queen for himself, she secretly hoped it would be Ororo. Storm wonders why, since she and Ramonda have never met, the Queen Mother believes Storm should marry her son. Ramonda explains that she has followed Ororo’s adventures carefully and believes her to be a strong enough woman to lead and breed the strong Wakandan men. Ororo’s history as a princess, an urchin, and a warrior make her worthy of T’Challa. Ramonda ends their discussion with asking Ororo if she loves T’Challa enough to be with him forever.
	Not long after, the Black Panther crouches in a dead tree amongst his animals. Ororo flies down to meet him in the tree. They briefly discuss Ororo’s time with Ramonda. Ororo admits that the Queen Mother is amazing. As the two sit close, T’Challa removes his mask and reminds Storm that she never answered his question. He repeats “Will you marry me?” Ororo is silent for a moment.
	Then in a loving embrace, she answers “yes.”

	Aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, “Dum-Dum” Dugan discusses the upcoming royal wedding with other S.H.I.E.L.D. officers.

While they are impressed by Storm, they know that Monica feels thrown aside despite her having broken it off with T’Challa, but then what did she expect?
	In his workshop in Dallas, Texas, Forge works on various projects to attempt to get his mind off the highly publicized wedding. Talking to his helper robot, Forge states that he doesn’t understand why his powers to work with machinery, to make connections, don’t work with humans. Though Forge admits he’s jealous of the Black Panther, he decides that Ororo deserves nothing but the best, and he resigns to hoping that Storm and the Black Panther’s marriage will work out better than his and Ororo’s trainwreck of a relationship did.
	Inside the United Nations T’Challa’s cousin T’Shan talks with his assistant. His assistant is surprised at how well T’Shan is handling everything considering T’Shan had hopes for the throne.
(flashback)

(present)
 T’Shan tells his assistant that he’s had a change of mind and he knows that the future of Wakanda is secure in T’Challa and Ororo’s hands.
	In the Black Panther’s jet, on their way to New York, Storm and T’Challa prepare for meeting with Ororo’s paternal grandparents. Though Storm claims that with her new family, the X-Men, her side of the aisle won’t be empty. T’Challa agrees that they’re her family, but he wants to have all aspects of their lives represented. She has recently been reunited with her maternal relatives but that also includes her father’s parents. Though Storm tried to look for them before, she had found only a crack house where her parents used to live. Storm is nervous with preparing for marriage and meet both T’Challa’s and her family all at once. Though their search is a happy one, T’Challa realizes that they will not be the only ones looking for them.
	In New Jersey, a young boy and his uninterested grandfather sit down to watch 24 on TV. Before the show can start, the doorbell rings, and the boy goes to answer it only to find multiple HYDRA gents waiting outside.
	The grandfather quickly runs to the closet after he makes sure that it was in fact the infamous terrorist organization. He beings opening a locked case saying that he knew someday someone would come looking for them. The little boy’s grandmother looks in from the kitchen in time to see the HYDRA agents crash through their front door.
	Before HYDRA can make an organized attack, the grandfather pulls his gun and fires as his wife attacks an agent with a frying pan viciously. She tells the fallen agent that she’s no amateur as she was trained in self-defense by the Fruit of Islam as her husband reloads.
	The elderly couple look at the two fallen HYDRA agents and decide that there must be more outside. After checking on their grandson, they tell him to stay safely in the closet. The two move to the window and see a horde of HYDRA agents fallen at the feet of the Black Panther. The Black Panther demands the agent’s information on his supervisor, but the agent doesn’t talk. The grandfather smiles and tells his wife to put out the good silverware.
	The Black Panther address the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Munroe as they bow to the king of Wakanda. T’Challa says that it is he who should bow to them, and not the other way around. The Black Panther tells them that it’s because of them that he has Ororo. Mrs. Munroe stops and asks if Ororo is indeed there. Just then, Storm flies down on the air currents. As she informs T’Challa that there are no more agents, she sees her grandparents. Tears well up in the elderly couple’s eyes as Storm stares, shocked. Storm lands and the three embrace.
	 While T’Challa and Ororo’s grandfather fix the broken door, Harriet shows Storm numerous photographs and explains that they were told Ororo died with her parents, though they suspected she might be alive. Harriet said she always thought Storm of the X-Men looked like little Ororo all grown up, but they could never quite be certain. T’Challa then questions their readiness of the HYDRA attack. Ororo’s grandparents explain that in the 1960s they were both involved in many radical left-wing organizations and decided that it would be best to be armed and ready in case of an emergency. Though, Harriet admits she doesn’t know why HYDRA would be after them.
	T’Challa is forced to explain that HYDRA probably used their resources to find the Munroes and wanted to replace them to manipulate the Black Panther. Because of the publicity of the wedding, Ororo’s relatives are potential targets. Storm takes this opportunity to ask if there would be any other family that they would need to protect. Harriet explains that Ororo’s aunt died of AIDS leaving little David with them. Ororo lovingly invites her small, newfound family to the wedding personally. T’Challa asks little David if he’s ever been to Africa, and David jokes he’s never been out of the tri-state area. He then longingly looks at Ororo, announcing that he will go anywhere she goes, causing his grandmother to yell at him.
Somewhere in Africa, in a small hut, two men speak. They discuss the failure of the HYDRA agents. The topic then moves on to how things have changed. HYDRA hasn’t been the same since Baron Strucker died. The power vacuum continues since the Red Skull is dead, Magneto is nowhere to be found and powerless, and the Green Goblin is in prison. Now it is revealed to be the leader of Nairobi speaking and asks with a sinister smile if there is no one who can take advantage of the upcoming wedding. In a dramatic growl, the second man says that the world will soon learn to fear the name Man-Ape.

Bride of the Panther - Part 4
In New York City, Luke Cage sits at his desk on the phone making arrangements for the Black Panther’s bachelor party when his wife, Jessica Jones and their newborn child com into the room. Luke is making sure that the entire block is closed off so that no one will know who is there and there will be certain anonymity.
	At that time in Manhatten, T’Shan, T’Challa’s cousin and old rival for the throne of Wakanda, introduces the Black Panther and his new fiancé to the gathered crowd of reporters and politicians. T’Shan explains that though both Ororo and T’Challa are public figures, they are very private people. So in order to make the public happy, they agreed to this press conference. At this point the reporters gathered explode in questions about the best man, the wedding dress, and the ring. T’Challa explains that though the ring is not a part of Wakandan ritual, he managed to get Ororo something anyway. The crowd stands in awe of the large diamond on Storm’s finger.
	Quickly the reporters turn to questions of a more official sense. One inquires about the current superhero problems in America. The reporter asks if as king of Wakanda, T’Challa would ever consider a registration act in his country. Gracefully, T’Challa avoids the question stating that it is not his place to discuss US policy and that he has fought alongside many superheroes who have proven themselves to be truly noble people.
The reporter presses the issue and Storm moves to the microphone. She informs those gathered that through much of her life she has faced discrimination. She continues by telling the crowd that Wakanda does not waste time or resources on witch-hunts, but rather leads the world in technological advances and human rights. As the crowd stands stunned, T’Challs closes the conference stating that he hopes their wedding will symbolize love that unites all people.
	Outside, T’Challa and Ororo sit in their car among the adoring fans. Storm laughs that she can’t believe she’ll need to speak on politics for the rest of her life. Storm says that she could tell her comments made T’Challa uncomfortable, though he says she was good at it. With a smile, he tells her that she reminded him of his father. With that, they kiss.
At Avengers Tower, Wolverine walks in to find Luke Cage still there. Luke explains that he needed to make a few calls that he couldn’t make from home. Luke then asks Wolverine if he and Storm used to have a “thing.” Luke worries that T’Challa might not be open to the idea of a bachelor party, let alone one with a guy who used to have a “thing” with his fiancé. Wolverine explains that everyone’s wanted to “hit it” with Storm at one point or another. Luke admits he has. Wolverine continues saying that though he wanted to, he never did. Ororo is family to him, and now T’Challa will be to, so he’d like to break the ice.
 Wolverine smiles and pops a claw saying that while using his claws is the thing he does best, second best is knowing how to have a good time. Wolverine says he knows a lot of people, and even though T’Challa might not enjoy himself, everyone else will. Luke likes that and then agree to do it.
Later, T’Challa instantly says no to the idea of a bachelor party. Both Luke and T’Shan try to convince him that he’ll regret it if he doesn’t. T’Challa explains that this is one of the western traditions that he simply doesn’t understand. He doesn’t want to arrive at his wedding with the smell of another woman on him. Luke jovially agrees with T’Challa, but says that forever is a very long time, and time is running out. T’Challa tries to explain that the wedding is just a ceremony. He’s already made the commitment in his heart. T’Shan tries a different angle, telling him to do it for his friends. T’Challa walks off, telling T’Shan that he can find other avenues to fondle women than T’Challa’s wedding. Luke says he hates how easily T’Challa makes him feel so immature. After all, he believes it’s a perfectly good tradition.
On Fifth Avenue in Manhatten, Ororo moves down the street with Kitty Pryde and Susan Storm, better known as the Invisible Woman, as crowds stare at them. Ororo is first to comment how much she needed to go out, get away from the speeches and wedding preparation. Ororo laughs, thinking how shopping and all should be easy with the lives they lead. Sue is quick to ask question about Storm’s hair, wondering if she blow-dries it naturally. Kitty finds it funny and jokes that Storm will be on the cover of the next issue of O. Kitty then has to explain that it is Oprah Winfrey’s magazine and that Storm had better get to know it as with Storm’s rising profile, Oprah will be calling.
The three women head into a store as the crowds follow and gawk. Sue asks the store manager if he could lock the doors while they shop instead of her having to keep them shut with her force field. The manager happily complies and then greets Ororo asking her if she reconsidered the outfit she tried on. Storm becomes indignant and states that she has never been in the store before. Kitty immediately take offense, deeming it racial profiling. The manager explains that he isn’t a fool, but rather a woman matching many of Ororo’s characteristics and stating that she was shopping for her upcoming wedding to the Black Panther visited the store, so he believed it was her. Kitty and Sue interrogate the man, who claims that though the hair was different, he believed Ororo, like many of his clients, went for a new look. The three women then stop to consider what exactly is going on.
Later at the Wakandan Embassy Ororo and T’Challa take a much needed break from their wedding preparations. Ororo, still upset about her trip on Fifth Avenue asks T’Challa who he thinks it is that’s imitating her. T’Challa admits that he’s noticed a large number of dangerously thin women sporting Ororo’s look. Ororo worries that this mystery person might misrepresent the couple. T’Challa laughs and asks if Ororo knows what people say about them on the internet. Quickly the two start goofing around with Ororo accusing T’Challa of Googling himself. T’Challa chases her through the apartment telling her. Jokingly, that she needs to learn respect for the throne.
Diving over Storm, T’Challa laughs at Storm thinking that she could get away from him. With her own wry smile, Storm’s lightning and wind flush T’Challa out the window. T’Challa calls back telling her she will pay for that. Storm laughs that the mother carries the X gene, when she suddenly loses track of T’Challa.
Walking over to the window, Storm asks if she blew T’Challa off the roof, when suddenly the blinds are drawn and the window slams shut. In the darkness, Storm calls out to see if it is indeed T’Challa. With a flash of lightning she sees T’Challa in full Black Panther garb diving at her. Though she blasts him, he manages to grab her and flip, landing gently on the couch. Ororo quickly apologizes for the lightning bolt, but T’Challa shrugs it off telling her he has an insulated suit. They lie on the couch, moving closer together.
	In the lobby of the embassy, the Falcon and T’Shan are talking over details about the wedding. They discuss Isaiah Bradley coming to the wedding, and Falcon believes, no matter what, Isaiah must attend. T’Shan tries to reason, saying that if Isaiah came, it would create an international incident, especially with all that is already going on with superheroes and the government. There is a loud crash and Falcon says that that was the second thunderclap with no rain. He says he would love to say ‘hello’ if T’Challa and Storm are there. T’Shan can only respond that they are most likely indisposed. Upstairs, T’Challa embraces and passionately kisses Ororo.
	At that time in Africa, Man-Ape is speaking to his people. He tells them that T’Challa, if he really wanted to promote peace between their tribes, should have chosen a woman from their clan. The crowd agrees. Man-Ape, furious, yells that the Black Panther isn’t marrying someone from their region, but also didn’t even send him a wedding invitation. The crowd grows angry at these words.
	The next day, T’Challa sits in bed, operating on a holographic computer. T’Challa is talking to Storm about her plans for Friday night. She surprises him when she tells him she already has plans. Storm explains that “the girls” had hoped to take Storm out on the town before her wedding. T’Challa grows slightly indignant, wondering if it is a bachelorette party. Storm gets out of bed and tells him that Sue Richards wouldn’t embarrass herself like that. Still a bit apprehensive, T’Challa states that Rogue would. Storm asks if T’Challa’s friends have something planned for him and then she suggests he do that Friday night. T’Challa silently thinks it over.
	On a private Avengers jet, T’Challa heads toward his bachelor party. Luke Cage tries to tell T’Challa that he won’t regret coming, but T’Challa claims he already is. Wolverine asks why he came and all and T’Challa explains that it is because Wolverine invited him. T’Challa explains that recently Wolverine has done many things for him, from looking after Storm in Africa to securing a package. The two clasp hands while the others laugh and joke in the background.
	The jet flies to Rio de Janeiro and Wolverine tells them that he still thinks they should have gone to Madripoor instead. Luke tells him that while Madripoor has nice women, Brazil has more women suited to the tastes of brothers. In the background T’Shan watches everything go on. He thinks that T’Challa will find a woman at the club that attracts him. From there, he will steal her body and then his using his newfound powers.
The men land and head into the strip club. Looking at the dancers, the men are stunned by the beauty and sexuality all around. They can’t help but stare as the women dance. Many strippers approach T’Challa quickly and tell him that even in this group he’s special and that all he needs to do is choose a woman to make him happy. They inform him he doesn’t even need to settle on just one. T’Challa moves without speaking away from the women and the party. The other men look on wondering exactly what this means. Wolverine tells them that it means it’s time to go home. Luke moves to T’Shan and tells him not to be bummed, T’Challa’s happy. T’Shan explains that he just wanted T’Challa to have a special experience.
Back in Manhattan, Princess Zanda yells at store employers to bring her what she wants and tells them that her husband, the Black Panther, will favor them. Storm, Kitty Pryde, and the Invisible Women enter the store and discover Princess Zanda making use of Storm’s image. Zanda laughs at the thought of her impersonating Ororo, telling Storm that T’Challa doesn’t truly want to be with anyone but her. She says she will shortly inform the Black Panther that he needn’t settle for Storm. Storm simply laughs off Zanda’s remarks and tells her that she needs a therapist. When Zanda calls Storm a street urchin, Storm blasts Zanda out through the door with a powerful blast of wind.
Zanda continues to insult Storm, saying Ororo can’t face a real woman without witch-craft. Though Kitty desperately wants to hurt Zanda, Storm won’t let her. When Zanda tells Ororo that her armies could crush and depower Storm, Ororo tells Zanda to simply get her finger out of her face. Zanda refused and next Kitty, the Invisible Woman, and Storm are leaving as Zanda’s assistants pull a picture frame off her and try to help her up among the destroyed mannequins.
When Storm returns to the Wakandan Embassy, she finds T’Challa waiting for her. T’Challa tells Storm that he had to cut things short. Ororo asks if there were problems between Namor and the Thing and when T’Challa says surprising not, Ororo tells him it’s because of his influence. The two tell each other how much they missed one another and then walk away from the embassy ready to get back to Wakanda and get married.

World Tour: Part 1
On a vast empty beach, Ororo and T’Challa relax and spend their honeymoon in a secluded paradise. Storm thanks T’Challa for having two weeks without any attacks from crazed villains. T’Challa, explains that the island was lent to them by Namor and is not only uncharted, but also has the most dangerous sea creatures on Earth guarding it.
	Ororo wonders if they’ll see him soon when they need to start having meetings with other monarchs. T’Challa explains that they don’t have regular meetings, but he would like to visit some of the major global powers. While Storm wonders if Doom’s wedding present affected him that much, T’Challa explains that people do fear the power of both Storm and T’Challa. He says that people believe they will take over the world. Storm asks what would happen if they can’t calm the masses. Jokingly, T’Challa says that then they’d have to take over the world.
In Washington D. C., Everett Ross speaks to the Secretary of State and is questioned on why the newly-weds are heading to Latveria. Ross attempts to explain that the X-Men fought Doom in the past and perhaps T’Challa wants revenge. The Secretary of State, however, worries that Doom and the Black Panther are teaming up. Ross laughs and tells him that there are no facts to back that up. As he walks away, the Secretary threatens Ross saying that he needs to find facts to back up the team-up because that is what the higher powers are saying.
On board T’Challa’s jet, the pair travel over the Atlantic. T’Challa speaks with W’Kabi over a view screen. W’Kabi wonders why the pair would end their honeymoon with a visit to Dr. Doom. T’Challa explains that Doom issued a challenge in the form of a request and T’Challa needs to make a point. T’Challa explains that Dr. Doom is insane and dangerous and he needs to be contained. W’Kabi warns T’Challa of Doom’s defenses and reminds him of the scenarios they ran. Ororo asks about the war game scenarios and if T’Challa won. Much to her dismay, he says that he did win, but half of Europe would be destroyed.
Two hours pass and the jet lands in Latveria. Storm asks T’Challa if he likes the old-world German architecture, T’Challa laughs and says he’s Wakandan, not a Keebler Elf. The mayor of Latveria welcomes the couple and offers to escort them to the castle. Storm marvels at how the citizens stare at them, like they can’t believe they going into the castle. T’Challa, however, believes he and Ororo may be the first black people they’ve seen.
Over the intercom, W’Kabi warns that Latveria is interfering with their signals and once the king enters the castle, they won’t have contact. T’Challa can’t hear W’Kabi’s warning as the they approach the gate. The mayor leaves the couple to enter the castle on their own.
Ororo and T’Challa find their way to Doom’s throne room. Dr. Doom greets the couple and offers them a second wedding gift, as the first was merely an invitation. He assures them that there are no surprises beneath the ribbon. Storm moves and opens the box and blatantly tells Doom that he really shouldn’t have. T’Challa removes a lalique globe. Doom tells them that he assumed something transparent and from a retailer might be something they would actually take home. Doom then compares the delicate glasswork to the world itself.
Dr. Doom moves to a large globe and begins a speech on trust. He explains that trust, a truly rare commodity, is what keeps the world from shattering. He tells the couple how lucky they are to have found someone they can trust in one another, but he wonders who else can they trust?
 Dr. Doom brings up the past, confronting the Black Panther with the fact that he originally joined the Avengers to spy on them. T’Challa hadn’t trusted them, and now their trust in the United States, SHIELD, and Tony Stark are once again tarnished. Doom tells T’Challa that they both know where the battle between heroes is leading. Black Panther snaps and asks why he should trust a man who wouldn’t meet him face to face. Doom grows angry as T’Challa and Ororo turn to leave.
The real Doom walks toward the couple applauding. He asks how T’Challa knew it was a Doombot, since he made it specifically with a heat signature. T’Challa tells him that it had no sweat or human musk, to which Doom happily replies that’s typical of him, being too perfect.
 Doom then moves to Ororo and tells her that he always thought that Africans have are superior physique. Storm quickly snaps at him saying that he was implying a lack of intellect. Doom looks at her and says that it is generally true, except for Wakandans. He goes on to say he believes there might be a low-grade mutant gene in Wakandan DNA. Black Panther snaps at him and reminds Doom that when Europeans were still in caves, Wakandans already had military might and cultural integrity, which they’ve maintained.
 Doom watches T’Challa and asks if it is a touchy subject, due in part to playing Tonto to Captain America. T’Challa tells Doom that Captain America is his friend, and that he doubts Doom has anyone like that.
Dr. Doom glares at the Black Panther and continues with the discussion, ignoring T’Challa’s remarks. He says there is a bigger picture. Doom then begins to go through recent events. He explains that T’Challa’s former friends are ripped apart by an uncertain civil war. No one seems to know where the Hulk has vanished to or when and in what state of mind he’ll return.
 Prince Namor of Atlantis has, according to Doom’s sources, been becoming even more paranoid and taking a stance against the growing climate on the water’s surface.
The Inhumans have secluded themselves in the Blue Area of the moon and have issued a cold war against the United States and humanity. Extending his hand, Dr. Doom suggests that they unite against these uncertain threats to their nations.
Bringing Ororo close to him, T’Challa admits that it is a provocative look at current events, but he simply can’t form an alliance with someone he doesn’t trust. Suddenly, Doom’s anger grows and he demands to know why T’Challa would reject this offer. T’Challa explains that if the Civil War in America extends to Wakanda, he would fight for his principles and not for fear of losing his throne. He believes that it is his duty to uphold Wakanda’s values, not his own personal wants. Doom asks what would happen when Wakanda is taken. Storm steps in and adds that if they left their principles behind, they would have lost already. Doom tells T’Challa that if he doesn’t put his woman in her place, he will. T’Challa warns Doom to be careful of how he speaks to Ororo.
With that, T’Challa states that they are finished and the two turn to leave. As Doom shouts in the background, the pair are quickly surrounded by Doombots, something which the two believed was inevitable. As T’Challa and Ororo fight against the multitude of Doombots, Dr. Doom shouts in the background that any man who refuses a favor from Doom is too stupid to rule. Storm pauses in her battle and calls forth a powerful lightning bolt telling Doom that she has owed him this. The lightning crashes through the castle and strikes Doom.
As the smoke clears, Doom laughs wondering if she thought that would hurt him. T’Challa activates his suit and transforms into an armored form while telling his bride that she should take care of the robots while he handles Dr. Doom. Doom and T’Challa begin a fist fight and compare ages of when they designed similar suits. Ororo quickly dispatches a multitude of Doombots with blasts of lightning. The Black Panther offers Dr. Doom a chance to fight one on one with only their hands. Doom readies himself and mocks T’Challa, saying that he acts as if he has leverage.
Outside the castle, citizens look to the sky and wonder at the clouds swirling around the castle. From Black Panther’s jet, a device pops up and the Doombots guarding it quickly realize that it is operational. As they move to fire upon the ship, an electromagnetic attack shoots out from the device on the jet, immobilizing the Doombots. Other peasants experience the power outage and wonder what is happening. Back inside the castle, Storm smiles and tells Doom that someone cut his puppets’ strings. Doom grows angry and demands to know if T’Challa knows what he’s done. T’Challa states that he built it, so of course he does.
The Black Panther then explains that Latveria’s defenses are down so, Doom’s nation is open to attack from any country. Mockingly, T’Challa asks if Doom needs help out of his armor. Doom rises into the air and scoffs that the Black Panther would believe Doom’s suit would need an external power source. The tide of the fight changes as Doom attacks T’Challa relentlessly. Finally clutching T’Challa’s throat he asks the Black Panther if he believes that Doom isn’t strong enough to destroy him.
A huge blast of air hits Dr. Doom and sends him flying across the room. Ororo floats down to him and tells Dr. Doom to never touch her husband again. As the torrent of winds continues, T’Challa yells at her to stop it. She turns to him and asks what’s wrong. T’Challa, getting to his feet, tells her not to interfere. It is a fight between him and Doom. Downed, Dr. Doom laughs at the argument between the two. Doom says that he won’t waste any more time. While Doom had escaped from Hell, T’Challa willingly entered it.
	As Doom continues to laugh, Ororo and T’Challa leave. She tries to understand why he’s upset. Storm offers to fly T’Challa out, since the door is frozen shut, but he insists he’ll find his own way. He then snaps at her telling her that she can’t question him at every turn. As Storm grabs hold of him and they fly out of the castle, she asks if it is some macho thing. T’Challa defends himself telling her that he’s allowing her to fly him. They land at the jet, which has a vibranium hull, thus was not affected.
	The jet takes off and as the two sit in silence, suddenly Ororo kisses T’Challa. He says that not everything can be solved with a kiss. Storm smiles and asks if he ever tried to kiss Doom. The two laugh as the jet flies into the sunset.

World Tour: Part 2- Fly Me to the Moon
On the moon, Black Panther, clad in a space suit, lunges and races from the pursuing Inhumans, Karnak and Gorgon. Black Panther can only ponder how this is not how diplomatic missions are supposed to go.
	He can only think back to yesterday, how everything began.
(flashback)
 In Wakanda, the Black Panther looks forward, commanding an attack. From above, Shuri springs, brandishing a bo-staff. Shuri misses T’Challa, but he compliments her style.
	As she moves to attack again, she tells him how she hates how he makes condescending compliments, especially when she’s trying to attack him. With a swift block, T’Challa steals the bo-staff and knocks Shuri down. A servant comes out to inform T’Challa that he has a call from the moon. T’Challa asks if it’s Black Bolt, and the servant confirms it. Shuri wonders if Black Bolt is actually using a phone or if he’s just yelling out the window. Black Panther scowls at her, but she tries to explain it was a joke.
	T’Challa enters the communications room to find Storm looking at a large screen with Black Bolt and Medusa on it. Medusa asks that Black Panther have a meeting with them as soon as he can. Without directly speaking of it, T’Challa asks if this is concerning the Civil War and the meeting of the Illuminati they had many years back. Medusa scowls at Black Bolt and informs T’Challa that it involves that meeting and also other events T’Challa isn’t aware of. Medusa apologizes for the timing, telling him that they waited as long as they could. Medusa then invites Storm on the trip as well, to which she readily accepts. T’Challa tells her that he’s glad she’s coming, though Storm has misgivings since there’s a lack of atmosphere and also being in the confines of a ship. She then wonders about there being a Wakandan space program.
	Later, as the ship prepares to take off, W’Kabi speaks of how much he dislikes T’Challa and Ororo traveling alone into space during wartime. T’Challa laughs it off, saying that they’re just going to the moon, not leaving the solar system. T’Challa explains that the Inhumans are powerful enough to change the course of events on Earth. He wants them on their side if the Super Hero Civil War moves beyond the American borders.
 W’Kabi begins the countdown as T’Challa asks how Storm is doing. T’Challa then explains that unlike conventional space travel, they won’t be blasted into space using dynamite, but rather, like a slingshot, are shot into space using the Earth’s magnetic sphere. Ororo quickly learns what that means.
	The Panther-rocket is flung into space and quickly on its way to the moon. Storm then remembers that the Watcher lives on the moon, and asks if T’Challa discovered why he was at their wedding. T’Challa explains that the Watcher only appears to observe events of cosmic significance, though he doesn’t know exactly what he was doing there. Though, T’Challa says that apparently the Watcher was caught smiling on tape.
	The rocket lands in the Blue Area of the moon and the two heroes remove their helmets. Storm is relieved as T’Challa notices that they have a welcoming party coming up to greet them. Triton of the Inhumans shakes T’Challa’s hand and welcomes both of them. As they enter Attilan, Storm asks Triton if he misses the oceans of Earth. Triton explains that while Black Bolt flooded underground caverns for him, it just isn’t the same.
	The three enter the throne room and find both Black Bolt and Medusa ready to greet them. Immediately Medusa begins. She explains that because of Black Bolt and Black Panther’s longstanding relationship, that they invited him there. That despite Black Bolt’s mistrust in humanity, he hasn’t lost it in T’Challa.
 T’Challa asks how he can be of service. Medusa asks for T’Challa’s opinion as the Inhumans consider war against the human race. Storm quickly asks why it has come to war.
	Medusa explains that the Terrigen crystals, which give the Inhumans their powers were stolen by Quicksilver, Crystal’s ex-husband. The crystals then somehow landed in the hands of military personnel. Medusa speaks of how it is a threat to the Inhumans’ very survival. T’Challa asks which military has the crystals, but Gorgon quickly jumps in saying that it doesn’t matter. The Inhumans left their own planet to avoid conflict, and they won’t take it any more. Karnak defends Gorgon’s position, saying that they are too powerful to suffer like this. T’Challa looks to Black Bolt and asks him if he agrees with all they’re saying.
	Solemnly Black Bolt nods. Gorgon speaks for his king, telling them he agrees it is time for war. T’Challa asks why he was brought there then, when he should be in Wakanda preparing for invasion. He then wonders if he is in fact a hostage. Crystal enters and assures him that they are not hostages.
	She explains that she feels somewhat responsible because it was her ex-husband that caused all of this. She turns to T’Challa and tells him that he possesses more credibility than any human to argue for a tempered approach. Gorgon points out that Storm is a mutant, just like Quicksilver and Gorgon believes that will make T’Challa biased. Medusa quickly silences him. Crystal then reveals that it was America that got hold of the Terrigen crystals. T’Challa, ever the diplomat, asks if he could make some inquiries before they attack. Medusa agrees, though that settlement does not sit well with Gorgon.
	The royal family and guests sit down to dinner among servants and entertainment. T’Challa expresses how happy he is to be able to sit down with the King and Queen of the Inhumans. He speaks of numerous question he’s had, and when Medusa prompts him he inquires about the ruins of an ancient civilization that was located in the Blue Area of the moon. He wonders if they’ve done any archeological studies on them. Quickly Gorgon wonders why T’Challa is so curious and Karnak snaps back that what he is asking is classified. Black Bolt glares at Karnak angrily, to which Karnak snaps ‘Not in front of the humans.’
	Black Bolt rises and throws his chair back before he storms out of the room. The other Inhumans are quick to follow. Karnak quickly assures them that there isn’t anything to worry about. Storm and T’Challa look around at the empty room before Crystal returns. She explains that since Black Bolt can’t speak directly, he relies on others to follow through on his orders. Storm understands that things would get lost in the translation.
	Outside the palace, Black Bolt moves along the surface of the moon. He enters the ruins and finds below, huddled in a mass a group of the Alpha Primitives who make up the lowest sect of Inhumans.
	Back inside the palace, T’Challa and Storm are still speaking with Crystal. Black Panther tries to excuse them both to return home. Karnak, however, has other ideas as he smashes through the table yelling that T’Challa has insulted their king. Crystal tries to understand what’s happening while Karnak yells that he’s tired of outsiders undermining them.
	T’Challa readies himself and quips back that Karnak is just starting a fight to cover up mistakes made under his authority. Karnak explains that he can see every weakness within T’Challa’s body. He moves to attak, but T’Challa dodges and finishes with a hard knee smashing in Karnak’s face. T’Challa quotes Bruce Lee telling Karnak that ‘Boards don’t hit back.’
	Storm looks at the Black Panther and is surprised that he knocked out Karnak with his first strike. Crystal checks on Karnak and sees that he’s still breathing. Gorgon is next to take a stand stating that now the humans’ true colors are showing. T’Challa remarks how stupid this is becoming, and Storm asks if she can take care of it.
	Storm blasts Gorgon with lightning. Crystal yells that Storm is killing him, and attacks with her own elemental powers. The two women blast at one another until T’Challa grabs Crystal from behind, telling her that no one is killing anyone. As he’s taking her out of the fight, Medusa’s hair grabs hold of T’Challa pulling him off Crystal.  Medusa tries to figure out what exactly is going on as she flings T’Challa at Storm. Gorgon, getting back up, informs Medusa that Black Panther and Storm attacked them. Medusa snaps that Gorgon’s credibility has been diminished after they found Alpha Primatives in the archeological site. Karnak, sitting back up, reasons with Medusa wondering why else they would have attacked Crystal. As Medusa turns to confront T’Challa, they all realize that he and Storm have disappeared.
	As Storm and T’Challa ready themselves to go back to their rocket, Storm insists that they should have stayed to explain themselves to the Inhumans. T’Challa doesn’t understand considering the attacks on them. Storm believes Black Bolt would listen to reason, however, T’Challa doesn’t want to fight a city of super-humans because he asked a question. As the two race toward the rocket, Karnak and Gorgon spring down in front of them. Storm tells T’Challa that without atmosphere, she doesn’t have her powers. T’Challa springs into action leading the two away from Storm as she returns to the rocket to prepare it.
(present)
	The two Inhumans hurry after T’Challa. They continue attempting to stop him, but the Black Panther manages to stay one jump ahead. Just as Karnak and Gorgon catch up, they turn to find Black Bolt descending upon them.
	Later, back inside the Palace, Gorgon and Karnak stand off to the side as Medusa address everyone gathered. She insists that Black Bolt banned Alpha Primitives from being forced to do menial labor, though some members of the royal family seem to have ignored that. Gorgon interjects that it was good for the kingdom, as someone must do the lowly jobs. Medusa silences him, but Gorgon replies that though he will take responsibility, what not asking questions because they didn’t want to know the answers. Medusa and Black Bolt share a look before she wraps T’Challa in her hair and requests to speak with him alone. As they leave, Storm and Black Bolt are left alone.
	Still later, Storm and the Black Panther are in their rocket returning to Earth. On their way, Storm comments how strange their trip was. After fighting with her family, and her finding out the Inhumans still used Alpha Primitives, Medusa seductively pulled T’Challa into a private room. T’Challa admits that it was weird, and plays coy as Storm tries to figure out what they were talking about. T’Challa finally tells her that Medusa had asked him if he could make a vibranium voice chamber for Black Bolt so that he could speak without destroying everything. Storm asks if it is possible. T’Challa tells her that he’s not sure, but if they can make it, he’d have to deliver a message.

World Tour: Part 3- Aqua-Boogie
In Washington D. C. Everett Ross is speaking with the Secretary of State. The Secretary is worried about T’Challa’s recent trips to Latveria, the Moon, and now Atlantis. With the King of Wakanda meeting with so many foreign foes, the Secretary worries about who is next. Ross hands the Secretary a file and tells him that T’Challa requested to meet with the President. Slamming his fist down, the Secretary of State refuses to allow that to happen.
	Meanwhile, T’Challa and Ororo travel beneath the sea on their way to Atlantis. Ororo complains about the smallness of space and traveling underwater is just as bad as going into space. T’Challa tries to calm her by pointing out the sea life and telling her that you can’t find those outside a spaceship. Ororo jokes that it depends on the galaxy. It’s then that they stumble upon the beauty of Atlantis. T’Challa explains that Atlantis almost rivals the beauty of Wakanda, and some archeologists have noticed similarities in architecture.
	Once inside Namor quickly welcomes the two and asks if they’re hungry. He then brags to have the freshest sushi. As he kisses Ororo’s hand, she comments that she’s never seen him smile, let alone joke. Namor comments that his late wife often told him he had a great smile, when he would show it.
 Namor then quickly moves the conversation along telling the royal couple that at the ocean’s floor their conversations can be private without fear of Tony Stark or Reed Richards listening in. Ororo comments that they’re getting right into it. Namor says that small talk is a luxury men do not have. As T’Challa warns Namor, he quickly lets them know that no offense was meant and that he would like to speak with both of them about the coming choices.
	The three move to a private room and sit down, ready to discuss matters. Ororo talks about the nerve of Reed Richards going to Wakanda to try and recruit T’Challa to the Pro-Registration side of the war. Namor agrees and says Reed’s formidable intelligence is failing him, too many equations, not enough common sense. As T’Challa agrees that Reed’s stance is disappointing, Namor asks if he’s really surprised. Storm wonders what this means and Namor begins to explain. He tells her that when Tony Stark and Reed Richards first formed the Illuminati, T’Challa declared it was the road to ruin and would have no part of it. Namor continues telling her that it was a group of super powers that would represent the factions of super heroes including Professor X of the X-Men. Storm asks how, since the Avengers, the X-Men, and other groups were founded on similar principles, they could all go wrong. To that, Namor tells her to ask her husband
	The Black Panther, though a bit surprised Namor knew, then explains that when he first joined the Avengers it was because he had planned to spy on them to see their true intentions. He believed he had found people of good heart, but also that they could have been containable if things got out of hand. Namor praises T’Challa and tells him he wishes he had his patience. T’Challa came by it honestly, inherited from his grandfather. T’Challa wonders what that means exactly. Namor is surprised he never told T’Challa of his first trip to Wakanda. Namor begins his tale, telling them it was during World War II.
Namor’s story:
Namor tells how Captain America was chasing Nazis through the jungles of Africa, but the Nazis’ luck was about to change. When the Nazis hit Wakandan borders, they were beheaded long before Captain America could find them.
The present:
 T’Challa interrupts the story and tells Namor that this was the tale of when Captain America first came to Wakanda. Namor agrees, but tells him that all of them were in Africa at the time. Ororo wonders what he means by ‘us.’ Namor continues explaining they were joined together from around the world to fight fascism.
	Namor’s story continues.
 The Nazis with their super powered Master Man are fighting in Africa against the Invaders. Spitfire, Union Jack, the Human Torch, and Namor himself descend upon them. It was hard fighting in the desert without dehydrating.
	Master Man, having had half his face burned by the Human Torch stands above the fighting and searches for a statue to destroy the head. Smacking him with a tank, Namor insists that Master Man stop his desecration of ancient ruins. Master Man is sent flying landing hard on his face. He looks up, his face mangled and destroyed.
	As Namor flies to impale Master Man with the gun of the tank, a fist comes out of nowhere to deflect it. A massive woman stands over the fallen Master Man threatening Namor. Quipping that if Warrior Woman was supposed to be the Nazi’s best man, then she should meet theirs, Spitfire attacks Warrior Woman in rapid succession, pummeling her with her fists.
	Elsewhere Union Jack makes his way through the Nazi’s camp to their Command Tent. There, he finds the soldiers dead and their plans missing. Namor explains that whoever had done it held no allegiance to either side. Quickly, Spitfire goes out in search of who it could have been.
	On board a jet, the Black Panther of World War II looks over the plans realizing that the Nazis were planning an invasion to steal vibranium to use in atomic testing. The Dora Milaje inform him that another ship is approaching. They’re surprised to find that it is not American, English, or German. Suddenly Namor flies at the Black Panther’s ship ordering them to land. When they don’t he tries to force them to.
	As Namor orders them out of the ship, the Black Panther tells him to calm down. The Dora Milaje ask Namor’s name, when he doesn’t respond one blows some powder in his face. The Black Panther then steps out of the jet holding a cup of water. He asks Namor why he’s involved in the war, after all Namor would have to fight whoever wins anyway. The Black Panther explains that the water will counteract the powder. He makes Namor promise not to attack him if he pours the water on him, because they have a lot more powder. Weakly, Namor agrees.
	The present:
 Storm asks if Namor tried to rip his head off. Namor is quick to tell her, of course, but after three times with the powder, he calmed down. He tells T’Challa that his grandfather saw it all coming: the cold war, Namor’s attacks on the surface, conflicts between super-teams and human governments. Namor then asks T’Challa what he sees and what he’s going to do about it. T’Challa is silent for a moment before asking what Namor wants him to do. Namor tells T’Challa that he knows what has to be done.
	Namor continues by explaining that the world is watching what is happening in America with horror. They have yet to respond because they hope it will all sort itself out. They worry that if Captain America can’t stop Tony Stark and Reed Richards, it will extend beyond America. Namor continues saying that no one believes US registration is the end goal. They believe that once a super team has been assembled, they will continue exporting the Pro-Registration ideals throughout the world, gathering more and more heroes forcibly.
	T’Challa leans forward saying that it’s funny because Doom said the same thing. Namor looks at T’Challa and tells him that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Namor then explains that someone needs to lead the global resistance or else it will boil down to random acts of violence that will merely help the US. T’Challa agrees, but wonders why Namor himself won’t be the leader.
	Namor explains that T’Challa knows Namor lacks the credibility to lead against American aggression. He then lists T’Challa’s many qualities to prove that he’s right for the job. He tells T’Challa he was meant for this because he has an unshakeable moral fiber, saying what he means and meaning what he says.
 Ororo stands to confront Namor saying that they’re charming words, but not quite the point. She confronts him that Namor simply wants to use T’Challa in his rivalry against Reed Richards. Ororo tells Namor that he needs to stop vying for Sue Richards’s attention. Namor shrugs off the insult and asks Ororo if she doesn’t see larger stakes. T’Challa stops her, saying she is just looking out for him. Storm quickly complains that they just got married, don’t they deserve a moment of peace? T’Challa relaxes and says that they will make the decision together.
	Namor leaves the two, telling them they should have time to talk. As he leaves a servant asks if he needs anything. Namor quickly responds to remind him never to remarry. Back inside, Ororo asks to really talk and wants to know what is truly bothering T’Challa. He says that for one thing, they would be violating a non-aggression pact that has been in place for centuries. Storm quickly fights back on the subject saying that Wakanda has worked around that in the past including his time with the Avengers. T’Challa asks if she’s ready to take on all of SHIELD. Storm quickly replies if that is what they decide to do, absolutely.
 T’Challa becomes confused wondering what her scene with Namor was really all about. Storm laughs and says she just didn’t like Namor playing T’Challa like they were Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. She then asks, very seriously, what they’re going to do.
	T’Challa thinks for a moment, and then states that he’s skeptical about him being the natural leader. Storm tells him that he’s absolutely right about that. T’Challa asks if Captain Britain wouldn’t be better for the role. Storm explains that she doubts Brian Braddock would go against his country. Though Britain may not have passed a Registration Act, they will shortly. T’Challa then asks if they should still try to recruit him. Storm hugs him and realizes he has decided to do it. The Black Panther tells her that they could very well lose, especially with their allies: Namor, the Inhumans, Dr. Doom. He tells her that none of them have won against the Fantastic Four, let alone a super-powered army. Storm tells him that Warren Worthington, Archangel, is gathering a group of wealthy individuals who oppose the act to pressure Congress. She then jokes that he’ll also have Captain America on his side, and he always wins.
	T’Challa thinks of the future. He explains that if they lose he’ll lose control of his kingdom and both he and Ororo would be locked in the Negative Zone prison. Storm becomes angry at the thought of heroes being locked up by their friends. She snaps that Reed had the nerve to try and recruit T’Challa. Namor returns, believing that a decision might have been made. Storm turns to him and asks what he’s doing about it all. Namor explains that he has prepared for a day like this. T’Challa asks Namor if he decides to do this, will Namor follow him and do as T’Challa says. Reluctantly Namor agrees.
	Before Storm and Namor, the Black Panther steps forward and declares them as protectors of the oppressed.
	Elsewhere two Sentinels process the information that Black Panther and Storm, a possible Omega level mutant, wish to meet with the President of the United States. At that, their weapons systems come online and files on both the Black Panther and Storm are uploaded into their systems. After sending the information to the Sentinels, Iron Man tells them that if they can’t handle T’Challa and Ororo, he’ll have to.

World Tour: Part 4 - Inside Man
Jim Rhodes, better known to some as War Machine, thinks over his life and the recent happenings in the world around him. Thanks to his friendship to Tony Stark, he is the only other person to ever wear the Iron Man armor. He thinks of when General Lazer asked him to lead the new Sentinel Program, Jim didn’t want to do it, but he owed it to Tony.
	He thinks of the Sentinels’ job, making sure that mutants don’t get out of line. Though, he believes that theory is flawed since not all mutants should be accountable for what a few did. He then believes he sees the beauty of the Registration Act. It asks anyone, mutant, superhuman, or regular people who want to do more, to register before doing so. This way there’s accountability. Throughout American history the government has tried to keep an eye on the population, protecting minorities from vigilantes. Though, sometimes the minorities themselves must be monitored. Jim asks if the Black Panthers of the 1960s were terrorists or citizens practicing self-defense. It all depends on which side you ask. He then wonders about who you should trust to tell the difference.
	In London England, the Black Panther and Storm meet with Brian Braddock, better known as Captain Britain. Brian quickly asks T’Challa why he would involve himself in something like the fight against the Registration Act. Storm answers for him telling Brian that T’Challa has a conscience and this is what superheroes do, stand up for the right thing. Brian asks if the two are sure that that fighting this is in fact the right thing to do. Black Panther answers that what America is doing is wrong, regardless of vigilantes and the deaths at Stamford. Brian interjects that this isn’t simple, it’s going against some of the smartest people on the planet. Storm asks how with Captain Britain’s history fighting with mutants he can’t see that this is an excuse to lock up superhumans. Brian agrees that humans do fear them, but instead he asks how to reduce the fear. He explains that Professor Xavier started the X-Men to prove there was nothing to fear from mutants.
	There is a long silence as the three look at each other. T’Challa extends his hand and thanks him for his time, seeing that Captain Britain is not going to change his mind. Brian shakes T’Challa’s hand and tells him that he is certain T’Challa’s presence will be a calming influence in the matter. He asks if Ororo is angry at him. She tells him that she is just disappointed and that his trust in the governmental system reflects his privileged life. As T’Challa and Ororo leave, Captain Britain asks if he could get the Ebony Blade, part of England’s national heritage, back. The Black Panther snaps back about having taken it from an assassin hired to kill him and tells Brian that he’ll return it when he’s finished with it.
	In Washington D. C. the Secretary of State and Everett Ross watch recordings of T’Challa’s and Ororo’s good deeds. They see the two donating artificial limbs to injured children in Rwanda. Ororo says that with so much conflict, love seems to be the natural combat. The Secretary asks if Ross believes people will buy into the political pandering, and Ross can only suggest that Iron Man tries to do the same. The Secretary scolds Ross and says that if Tony Stark did that, it would just look like a copycat. The television then states that the couple are coming to America to meet with the president. The Secretary gets an idea of using the couple’s own good press against them.
	On board of Black Panther’s jet, he and Storm talk about politics as well. Storm tells him that if politics means helping children, then she loves it. T’Challa agrees, but tries to prepare her for the enemy ahead. Ororo asks what the plan is and T’Challa begins to explain. His lobbyists in Washington have their congressmen arguing that the Superhuman Registration act represents more big government intrusion into American lives. Then in London, T’Challa’s agents are making stock transactions in an attempt to gain a controlling share of Stark Enterprises. Though, T’Challs suspects that Tony Stark will be prepared for that. Black Panther then asks Storm how her conversation with the X-Men went.
	 Storm recounts her conversation with Emma Frost, telling T’Challa that it didn’t go well at all.
flashback:
Emma tells her plainly that the X-Men will be sitting out of this conflict. When Storm questions what that means, Emma tries to explain. She says that mutants don’t need any more bad press, especially after the Scarlet Witch altered reality.
 Emma explains that the Stamford incident and the whole “Civil War” are actually taking attention off mutants. It’s telling people every superhuman can make mistakes, not just mutants. As Kitty Pryde pokes her head up through the floor to eavesdrop, Storm asks that Emma would rather have her fellow heroes locked up to teach a lesson rather than help fight? Emma says that’s it, and that mutants don’t have secret identities anymore. This fight isn’t their problem.
present:
 Storm complains to the Black Panther that this never would have happened when she led the X-Men.
	At the White House a crowd has gathered awaiting the arrival of the Black Panther and Storm. Two reporters tell two very different stories, one discussing the anger in the crowd, the other reporting on how they’re welcoming the King and Queen. The police explain that they’re trying to get people to stay at home for their own safety. Meanwhile a father in the crowd, holding his daughter says the King and Queen are bigger than Charles and Diana. The first reporter warns the crowd that the arrival of T’Challa and Ororo might incite the crowd, while the second reporter asks the crowd where the after party’s at.
	Within at the Sentinel Command Center, Jim Rhodes talks with another member of Sentinel Squad O.N.E. Rhodes explains that Tony Stark needs help, he can’t be everywhere, so at least Rhodes can help where he can. The O.N.E. member asks what Rhodes’s take on the Black Panther is considering there’s so many civilians outside. Rhodes returns the question with a glare asking if that’s the new question whites ask blacks to see if they’re too “pro-black.” The agent tells him to relax, saying that if he was told to take down Captain America, he isn’t sure if he could do it. Leaving, Rhodes says that that is why he’s helping.
	Inside the White House, Storm and the Black Panther are greeted by the security staff and employees of the White House. One of the staff members asks Ororo to step aside and requests she sign registration forms before she can be allowed in to see the president. T’Challa quickly argues that Ororo is a head of state and has diplomatic immunity. One of the agents states that while Storm is queen of Wakanda, she is also an American citizen born in this country. He tells them that the president cannot meet with any unregistered heroes because it sends the wrong message. Ororo informs him that not meeting with a head of state on friendly terms sends a message as well.
	T’Challa looks over his shoulder at a camera mounted in the wall and talks directly to Tony Stark. T’Challa states that he knows he’s watching and that he can’t believe he’s doing this. As Storm and the Black Panther move to leave, the White House official tells him that Tony Stark is not on the grounds. T’Challa lashes out, saying that that would have ruined the propaganda film they were making. As the officials beg for the Black Panther to stay and talk things through, T’Challa snaps that no one there wants to talk, they just want everyone to listen. Once outside, T’Challa snaps that he won’t ride in a gasoline-burning car and refuses to tolerate anymore cultural inadequacies. His Dora Milaje arrive and tell him that a Wakanda -sanctioned car will arrive shortly.
	The crowd looks on confused, unsure of what’s going on. As the crowd starts to get unruly the father from the previous news reports is shoved and loses hold of his daughter. T’Challa tries to calm the crowd, but he can’t. As he sees the girl fall, he springs into action to make sure nothing happens to her. The police are quick to act as well, blocking off the crowd and separating the little girl from her father. Storm watches as the Black Panther is forced under the crowd. Storm cries out to her husband, summoning a blast of lightning to disperse the riot.
	The crowd looks around at the sudden rainstorm in confusion. On his way Jim Rhodes gets his orders saying that the rain was a mutant manifestation. Rhodes asks if his intervention won’t just make things worse since T’Challa is only rescuing a child.
 Back on the ground, T’Challa grabs the child and hands her back to her father. T’Challa and Ororo find each other as Rhodes in his Sentinel towers over them stating that Storm is under arrest.
	Storm takes to the air as the Sentinel dives for her. T’Challa’s Dora Milaje quickly look at the angles of the Sentinel as Storm flies out of the way. On their two hovering transports, they smash through the Sentinel cutting him in half and making sure the top would not fall into the crowd. The gathered people start to run as the police begin firing at the Dora Milaje. Rioters climb on top of the Sentinel looking inside at the trapped form of Jim Rhodes. The crowd sees a black man inside and calls him a traitor and sell out. Outside Storm and the Black Panther begin fighting as another Sentinel approaches to join the fray.
	The rioters on the Sentinel advance, but are quickly thrown aside as T’Challa leaps inside. He quickly makes sure that Rhodes is alright and swears that he’ll make sure no one will harm him. Rhodes looks at the Black Panther and realizes that he’s been a fool. He sees that he’s been saved from the people he was trying to help by the man he’s attempting to arrest. There is a huge boom and T’Challa looks up to see what’s happening.
	Iron Man appears out of the sky and quickly asks how Rhodes is. As Rhodes tries to get up, T’Challa explains that he’s going into shock. Ripping open the Sentinel further, Iron Man says he’s getting a readout on his condition, then explains that he’s holding T’Challa responsible for this. The Black Panther tries to tell him that he and Ororo came in peace. Tony quickly snaps back that he warned T’Challa not to get involved. As the Dora Milaje arrive to take T’Challa out, he snaps at Iron Man telling him never to tell him what to do. As T’Challa flies away on the hovering transport, Iron Man says that it isn’t over.
	Flying toward a jet waiting in the sky, the Dora Milaje realizes that the hover bike just went dead. T’Challa springs from the bike and grabs hold of the jet saying that Iron Man shut it off remotely. The single Dora Milaje begins to fall, but Storm is ready to catch her. Unfortunately for her Iron Man is hot on her tail and tells her not to bother with lightning, as it’ll only make him angrier.
	The Black Panther re-emerges from the jet, wearing his battle armor and wielding the Ebony Blade. He yells to Tony not to think about hurting Ororo. As Iron Man flies toward him, he sighs and mocks the sword. T’Challa brings the sword down slicing through the Iron Man armor and explaining that it cuts through anything. Iron Man crashes to the crowd as Storm creates an updraft to bring her, T’Challa, and the Dora Milaje safely to the ground.
	A second Iron Man approaches and asks if he really thought it would be that simple. As Storm and the Black Panther realize they’ve been completely surrounded by Iron Men, one asks if they can end it before anyone is hurt.  Jim Rhodes then breaks away from the medical team caring from him and yells for them to stop it. He begs from Tony, his best friend, for him to stop. T’Challa just saved his life. He asks for his, and everyone’s, sake the two just stop it.
	Iron Man looks at the king of Wakanda and explains that he will stand down since T’Challa has his own country to deal with. The Black Panther takes this time to explain that he came to America to express the feelings of many appalled nations. He then states that his worst fears have been realized and that whether Iron Man realizes it or not, he needs help. Iron Man snaps back calling him arrogant. The Black Panther then admits that he doesn’t know all the facts and that he won’t do anything until he does, but one thing is certain. As he walks away with Storm and his Dora Milaje he tells them that he is not leaving.

War Crimes- Part One
At the funeral of Bill Foster, known more prominently as Goliath, T’Challa and Ororo stand in the rain with Bill’s family. Bill’s mother crouches and cries, yelling that with all the heroes’ powers they wrapped her son in a tarp and lowered him into his grave with a chain. T’Challa quietly offers to arrange a hero’s burial in a real coffin in Wakanda.
	Bill’s sister snaps at T’Challa demanding if he can shrink her brother down, because she doesn’t even know that they tried. She then remarks that he, once known as Black Goliath, was killed by an Aryan thunder god. Before she can continue, her father stops her, yelling that that was not how he taught her. Mr. Foster tells her that what they did was wrong, but making claims about racial conspiracies detracts from the truth. Bill’s sister says that they don’t know anything and they have to consider all possibilities. She then collapses, yelling that she misses Bill and wondering how they could do this.
	Cameras watch the funeral as a reporter explains that Goliath was the highest profile death in the battles over the Super Human Registration Act. T’Challa states that thanks to the Stamford tragedy, a man who has sacrificed for his community died and no one bothers to ask why. The Reporter explains that the Foster family is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the United States Government, Stark Enterprises, and Fantastic Four Incorporated.
 Mrs. Foster asks how her son being a scientist who helped people makes him a criminal. Bill’s sister insists that the Registration Act has made the world more dangerous, not less. Mr. Foster explains that he is most disappointed by Hank Pym, a close friend, who appears to be a co-conspirator in Bill’s death.
	Elsewhere in a secluded room, a group of men sit around a long table and try to find dirt on Goliath. They realize that there was nothing remotely bad that they could dig up. One of the men explains that while Goliath wasn’t an A-List hero like Captain America, he’s the perfect test case. Another man shouts that the Black Panther is behind all of the problems that have arisen with Goliath’s death. Everett Ross laughs at that and tells him that the Foster family is filled with doctors and attorneys and they could have thought of it themselves. One of the senators says that the black vote won’t matter in the next election, while another worries that Bill Foster’s death will be spun to make him out to be another Emmett Till. As another senator asks who Emmett Till is, Everett Ross simply rolls his eyes.
	At the Fosters’ home T’Challa and Ororo prepare to leave. The Fosters thank them for everything they’ve done. Goliath’s newphew asks to speak with T’Challa privately and the two head off. He tells T’Challa that he used to help Bill in the lab all the time, and that he is graduating from M. I. T. in two years. T’Challa thinks he is asking for money, but the young man quickly explains that he is also ROTC. T’Challa quickly tells the young man that he shouldn’t do anything illegal, his family is dealing with enough. Goliath’s nephew gets angry and asks if T’Challa is really on his side. The Black Panther states that he is, but that isn’t what his family needs. The young man states that he will crack the Pym Particle formula one day. When he asks for T’Challa’s help, the Black Panther says that they will be in touch.
	Later, on T’Challa’s jet, he and Storm travel over the open water. Storm asks her husband if he’s found another soldier for his army. T’Challa explains that the boy is angry and intelligent, and T’Challa wants to keep him on the right path. He then says that he caught Ororo’s tone and reminds her that Charles Xavier once recruited her for his army. Storm looks at him and tells him that she isn’t criticizing. She says that they need soldiers and can’t rely on the X-Men. They have to build a new army in the United States. The two sit in silence for a moment and the Ororo asks if she told T’Challa lately that she loves him.
	As the two arrive at the Wakandan Embassy, they’re informed that they have guests waiting. Inside, S’yan, T’Challa’s uncle, W’Kabi, head of Wakanda Security, and other Wakandan officials inform the Black Panther that they need to talk. W’Kabi asks that Ororo excuse them as they have family business. T’Challa gets angry and reminds them that she is queen and his family. S’yan accepts.
	S’yan then explains that due to the importance of their conversation, they need to discuss it in person. They apologize for speaking bluntly, but things must be said. Ororo looks at them and is glad. She states that it is time she learns the business and she prefers a frank conversation. S’yan and W’Kabi glance at one another. S’yan explains that the council believes T’Challa’s recent adventures in the west are ill-advised besides the fact that he is breaking a tenant of Wakandan policy, but is also heading toward a US invasion of Wakanda.
 T’Challa argues that the threat is there no matter what and that he wants to stop it here before the United States exports their ideas of “public safety” across the globe. S’yan wonders how long T’Challa will try to save America’s soul and govern Wakanda from afar. He then tells T’Challa that he has confirmed his countrymen’s fears by marrying a foreigner.
	S’yan tells them that many feel T’Challa’s heart is no longer in Wakanda and Storm is a symbol of it. W’Kabi continues and tells them that someone will try to fill T’Challa’s throne. T’Challa asks if they blame all of this on Storm. S’yan explains that Storm is not to blame, but rather T’Challa’s foreign adventures and lack of interest in Wakanda. He ends this confrontation by reminding T’Challa that he is king and they leave him to think things over.
	Soon Ororo and T’Challa are left alone. After some thinking and a long silence, Storm says that if he chooses, she will return to Wakanda with him. He snaps and asks if she think that is right. Ororo instead asks him another question. She wonders how long Wakanda will be able to keep its isolationist stance. As the two move close together, T’Challa responds, telling her that people have thought they would need to end that policy many times throughout history. She asks then if he doesn’t think they will try to invade Wakanda. He insists that they will try, that they always try because they don’t welcome them. Storm tells T’Challa that he doesn’t sound sure of what to do.
	As T’Challa walks away, Storm tells him that it’s alright not to always know the right thing to do. T’Challa stops and tells her he has to when he’s king. Outside, W’Kabi asks S’yan if he believes they were effective. S’yan says that they did not change T’Challa’s mind, but they did change Storm’s. He says that they’ll be home eventually.
	Back in Washington, the senators and Everett Ross continue discussing the problems with T’Challa. One person says that they need a better press release initiative because the Black Panther has much better press. They worry that the Panther is building support throughout Europe and the Pacific Rim. His influence is even extending to resistance movements in the US.
 One senator wonders why Tony Stark didn’t just finish the job. Everett Ross interrupts and states that Jim Rhodes, better known as War Machine, called for a truce. He continues explaining that it was probably a good thing not making Iron Man fight in a fatal showdown with a popular African king. One of the senator agrees claiming that they would end up looking like Klu Klux Klan members and not patriots.
	On a talk show called Spin Zone, the host explains to his viewers about the Black Panther and Storm’s vocal opposition to the Superhuman Registration Act. The show then shows different people questioning the King and Queen’s judgment. One person wonders about T’Challa’s friendship with the Avengers since he joined them just to spy on them. Another questions Storm’s intentions, wondering if any time there is bad weather it’s her fault or that she is allowing it to happen. A third talks of America overthrowing their king over two hundred years ago, so why does this king think he can tell them what to do? The host then informs his audience that the Black Panther has supporters in Namor and Dr. Doom, both of whom tried to overthrow the US in the past. He claims that these associations have forced black leaders to no longer support T’Challa. The host reveals that no one knows for sure if the Black Panther plans to meet with fugitives of the Registration Act.
	A SHIELD agent watches the Wakandan embassy through a telescope. He informs his contact that six vehicles are moving out. When he asks if he should follow, the contact tells him they’ve got someone on the job. Another agent tells the contact that the six cars are splitting into two groups, but the contact can’t read which car T’Challa is in. The agents then say that the groups of three split further into six. In a sewer beneath New York, T’Challa runs through the mess in street clothes.
	He emerges in an alleyway. He is greeted by someone asking him how he could have withstood fifteen miles in a sewer with his heightened sense of smell. T’Challa turns to see Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, leaning against a wall. T’Challa states that they do what they have to. The Black Widow is surprised that he knew she was tracking him the whole time. He explains that she is the best spy the Soviet system ever made, and people like him hire people like her. As he walks away, she starts to threaten him. He then explains that he would never fight a woman, he has people for that. She raises her wrist shooter.
	Suddenly one of T’Challa’s Dora Milaje kicks her in the back. As the two begin to fight, the second Dora Milaje lunges down from above attacking with a wooden staff. Using her wrist shooter, she breaks the staff. The Black Widow realizes that T’Challa is getting away. Her distraction allows one of the Dora Milaje to punch her in the face.
	Natasha turns and looks at them. She tells them they now have her full attention and that she is not playing any more. She smiles as she aims her wrist shooters at the two women. There is an empty click. Briefly she wonders what they did to her weapons, but she doesn’t dwell on it. She springs forward striking one of the Dora Milaje. The other, however, kicks the Black Widow in the head, slamming her face into a brick wall.
	Out on the street, T’Challa finds an imposing-looking blonde mailman. He follows him, even down into a taped off subway. When the mailman finally stops and looks at the man following him, T’Challa merely greets the man calling him Steve. The mailman demands to know who he is.
	T’Challa rips off his civilian clothes, revealing the Black Panther costume beneath. The mailman is confused to see T’Challa and demands to know how he found him. He asks if it was SHIELD, but T’Challa scoffs at that. The mailman whips out Captain America’s shield and flings it bouncing off the walls claiming that it could be anyone in the Black Panther suit. As the shield spins toward T’Challa’s head, he states that there are easier ways to do this. T’Challa bends at the last second so the shield flies harmlessly overhead.
	Captain America, now in his full suit, catches his shield. T’Challa asks just to talk, but Captain America won’t have it. He punches the Black Panther in the face. T’Challa cradles his jaw and switches into his battle armor.
	As the two start toward one another, Captain America asks why T’Challa came there. The Black Panther explains that he wants to show Steve that there is a better way to win the war than fighting. Steve scoffs and says politicians talk and get nothing done, he’s a soldier. The Black Panther says that he is Captain America, the symbol of the United States. He could change people’s minds if he talked to them.
 Captain America asks how many more heroes have to die while opinions change. This stops the Black Panther. He takes off his mask and asks how the Pro-Registration heroes could kill Goliath and just go on. Captain America explains that Bill Foster was one of them, a scientist and a hero, yet Reed Richards and Tony Stark don’t get it. He states that there is only one way to win this war.
	T’Challa looks at his old friend and tells him that there is no way he can win this. Steve is relying on old SHIELD equipment, he needs a tech source. Captain America asks if T’Challa would supply him. The two men look at one another and says that he would under the table. Steve then asks what if they find out, or what if he needs more than weapons. He asks what if he needed warriors like T’Challa and Storm. T’Challa stops and says that he joined the Avengers because he feared an event like this. He states that he quit another group for the same reason, and now it has come to pass. Captain America looks at T’Challa and asks if he can help them get to the Negative Zone and break into the 42.
	The Black Widow explains to Iron Man that she had to fight two people, so he needs to lay off her. Tony Stark says he can’t argue since T’Challa, with no powers, cut through his chest plate. He then says that if Jim Rhodes hadn’t jumped in, he would have the whole problem solved. Natasha, looking rather beat up, reminds Iron Man that with Wakandan technology and the help of T’Challa and Storm, they could tip the scales. The Black Widow then worries that Storm might rally mutants to get involved. Iron Man thinks for a moment. He looks down and decides that it is time for the big guns. On a table lies the prone form of the Thor clone that killed Bill Foster.
