NAMOR, KING OF TALOKAN

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) Dir. Ryan Coogler

Call You Amor

K'uk'ulkan x Reader

Summary: Patience is something we all have to learn, even Gods. Even Gods who just confessed their love.

K'uk'ulkan was a patient man. Having lived as long as he have, he learned the importance of timing and patience.

He was patiently waiting for you as well.

Despite being a 'surface dweller' he quickly fell in love with you.

He was a patient man.

But he also found himself walking along the banks of your home town, hoping and begging for his God so he could see you.

He went, day after day.

He felt stupid now, stupid for telling you to take your time, stupid for saying he can wait even years for an answer.

He wanted to make you feel comfortable and now he was regretting it.

This anxiety was eating him alive.

It distracted him from his duties as the leader of Talokan.

But he wanted you, he needed you. And he needed an answer to his confession.

As it soon got dark, K'uk'ulkan headed back to his home. He didn't sleep but he did manage to rest a little.

The next morning, he did what he had been doing for the past three days.

He dealt with his duties and soon after swam to the beach. He walked out of the water and to his surprise, there you stood.

He noticed the shell he gave you to call him in your hands, your shaking hands.

"I thought I had to place it in the water to call you." you said as you walked over.

"Could you please just... tell me your decision, I beg of you to put me out of my misery."

You smiled a little, he was a man after all, no matter how much he tried to assure you that he could be patient.

"We are very different. You live in the ocean, lead your people, hide from my people. At first, I thought it would be impossible. How could you ever like me to begin with, especially with your hatred towards my people. You said I can decide whether I should call you Namor like your enemies." you watched as his hand moved into a fist, he looked away from you. "And I so decided to call you a different name, neither K'uk'ulkan nor Namor. I wish to call you Amor." his eyes snapped back up at you. He muttered something in his mother tongue, something you couldn't quite understand.

"I thought you were rejecting me."

"I thought about it. Because of our differences. I fear your people will hate me for I am only a surface dweller. I am no Queen as you claimed I could be." he walked over to you as you finally dropped the shell from your hand, his moved to your waist and pulled you in.

"Say it to me, please."

"I wish for you to court me. I wish to be yours. For now, it will be enough."

"And in the future?"

"I could be delusional. I have wishful thinking, but I can see myself by your side, forever. As a partner, a wife, a Queen. As long as you will have me." he let out a shaky breath. One he didn't even know he was holding.

"I came here, day after day in the hopes of seeing you. For you to accept my confession... I'm overjoyed." he smiled.

What a gorgeous smile he had.

"My Handsome King, I truly don't see how you can find me, out of everyone so interesting."

"You are a rare beauty. You are smart and gentle. Kind yet fierce. I need that in my life."

"So, I remind you of your mother."

"Pardon?"

You laughed at his expression.

"Nothing nothing." you laughed a little as his grip on your tightened.

"Is that some joke between... women?"

"You could say that, yes. A joke. Can I ask my King, to take me on a date?"

"What's a date?" you nearly fell over laughing. He loved to hear your laugh.

"I will dress up nicely and we can meet and talk."

"What's wrong with what you are wearing now? It looks nice enough for me."

"Okay, would you like to go somewhere then?"

"I can't really leave the water."

Problem number 1.

You assumed there will be more along the way, but you were sure you can also deal with them and find solutions.

"Then let's stay here? In case you need to leave, you could go back."

"I will give you this." he reached into the water and you noticed something shimmering in there. He pulled out a necklace made of pearls. "I have been making this since I saw you." he then held the medal in the middle of the pears in his palm. "You just have to whisper to this, and I will come to you, wherever you are." he then placed it around your neck. You touched the delicate jade medal and smiled at him.

"Thank you. I wish I could give you something special as well."

"A kiss would be special enough." he smirked as you smiled.

"Very well." you moved your hand to the back of his neck as he let you pull him in, and you placed a kiss on his lips.

"I will come see you again tomorrow, My Love." he said as he finally let go of you, slowly walking into the sea.

"I hate seeing you leave, but I love watching you go." you said which confused him as he turned to give you a look. "I mean you have a nice... backside."

"So do you." he said and you knew he didn't understand your reference but it was okay.

You will teach him many more things about yourself as you will learn more about him.

You never expected to end up with him, but you were not complaining.

If anything, you were looking forward to tomorrow and the days after.

Summary: after waiting what felt like an eternity, your Lover finally returns to you...

Masterlist

I let my feet dangle from the porch, as the sun slowly started to set. A necklace was resting between my fingers, a necklace he had given me. And I hadn't seen him since. He promised to return and yet, here I sat, waiting and waiting for him.

With a sigh, I pushed myself to my feet. I was probably overthinking. He was a busy man, he had an entire city to protect after all. And I admired him for that. He loved his people with such passion, it was honorable. 

My eyes lingered on the ocean, before I turned around to look at my little cottage. He had helped me build it. Him and Namora and Attuma. I always remembered it with a smile. How Namora had helped me with the interior design and how Attuma had to flex every second about how much material he could carry and how fast he assembled things. Namor had always scolded him for that, but I was thankful. Without them, it wouldn't have been possible for me to live this near the ocean. It wouldn't been possible to see Namor frequently. 

And now, I hadn't seen him in weeks. On the news they were always talking about Wakanda. They were mourning they're recently lost queen. They didn't say what she died from, but I had a feeling that my Lover was somehow involved in this conflict.

The sound of the waves crashing against the shores interrupted my train of thoughts and I quickly spinned around. I couldn't believe my eyes. Speaking of the devil, there he was. Just standing there inbetween the waves, looking at me. As I noticed the faint scratch marks on his face, I knew that he somehow got involved with Wakanda.

I quickly made my way towards him, stepping into the water and wading towards him.

"Namor", I said, as soon as I reached him.

He only smiled and raised his hand to my face:"In yakunaj (My Love)"

I couldn't help myself as a sob escaped my lips. I threw my arms around him, pulling him close. I heard Namor laugh, as he wrapped his arms around my midddle, spinning us around.

"I missed you", he smiled.

"I missed you too!", I yelled as he stumbled and we fell into the water.

I chuckled as he helped me sit up. The water wasn't deep, it was only up to our waists. I took the moment to inspect his face. He was grinning at me. I saw Love and Joy in his eyes. But my gaze wandered down to the marks on his cheek and lifted my hand to softly touch the healing skin. Namor closed his eyes at my touch.

"Who did this to you?", I asked quietly. Namor sighed and raised his hand. He closed his fingers around my wrist and pulled my hand down into his. 

"It doesn't matter", he said,"What matters is, that I returned to you."

"What about Attuma?", I asked,"And Namora?Are they okay?"

Namor smiled about my questions. I knew that he had always adored the fact that I cared so much about his people.

"They are fine.", He finally said.

I sighed relieved and slightly squeezed his hand:"Thank you for returning to me. These times must be hard for the people of Talokan. It's probably not easy to find some free time."

"I will always return to you, In reina(my Queen).",he smiled and leaned his forehead against mine,"I will always come home"

I looked at him perplexed:"Talokan is your-"

Namor chuckled and interrupted me with a quick peck on my lips.

"Home is not the Place where I reside, Jats'uts(beautiful), It's the people that I love. And you are one of them."

I couldn't believe my ears. I was too stunned to speak, I just looked at him with my mouth agape.

"You are my home", He mumbled with a smile. His hand rested on my chin, as he pulled me closer,"And I will always come back to you."

I looked at him, Adoration in my eyes, while tears rolled down my cheeks. 

"No one has ever said something like this before...",I mumbled,"I have never met someone like you before, Namor...K'uk'ulkan."

His gaze softened upon hearing his birthname. and I felt him pull me closer to him.

"You are my everything", I finally said,"I love you."

"I love you", Namor mumbled, as he softly wiped away my tears,"More than anything"

"The sun's going down", I said after we sat in silence for a few minutes, just holding each other.

"We should go inside", Namor agreed. I yelped, as he suddenly lifted me up bridal style. My arms wrapped aound his neck, as he started to walk towards the cottage.

"You know, I could've walked myself", I smiled, as he climbed the stairs of the porch.

"Isn't there this tradition?",he only asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows:"What tradition?"

He only smiled, as he kicked the door opened with his foot and carried me over the doorstep.

"Oh, That Tradition."

Namor, my beloved (WIP)

Namor fantasy isekai idea

Ok here we go fantasy Isekai au, I love OI novels and comics, and this idea has not left me since.

Here we go:

You are now the oldest daughter of the former king of Wakanda, your older Brother T'challa is now king after your father has passed, and you are the middle child between you, T'challa, and Shuri. Your brother wants to try to make peace with the neighboring countries, sadly some of the other leaders don't have the same mind. With an amazing older brother as king and an intelligent younger sister, the people don't see you as much, especially since you don't have any specialties yet. (Magic is definitely on the table for abilities besides don't a lot of OI leads or princesses have magic ;3) 

The kingdom as stated before doesn't care or really think much of you. You would make a great political bride for peace among the realms. After an attack at the world leaders meeting, you lost your father the king, and "Lost" some of your memories aka when you awoke into this world. It is a world based on a fantasy series you used to read, now the princess of Wakanda you get to see the characters in a whole new light. 

Now for our male lead this isekai Namor, I want to mix both Namor of the comics and MCU Namor for this. Making his kingdom is somewhat difficult depending on which way I want to go with the kingdom, I want to keep Talokan and figure out a way to mix both kingdoms into one for the story.

This Namor will be a mixture of both the comics and MCU. As I said, he does have long hair because I won't lie, the ponytail was pretty nice. He is a king well-loved by all except for some in his kingdom, being the half-human/ Talokan mutant he isn't well-liked by those who hate the surface dwellers and bigotry is still a problem in this fantasy world.

Things are a bit tense between both of your countries. Hopefully, you can ease that tension and make peace between them. He is an excellent king, as noted from all his appearances, he puts his kingdom first. He has a commanding presence, he is in charge and everyone can tell. He is absolutely charming to those he is interested in, and if he falls in love he's going to try to go all in.

I won't lie as I am mixing the comic with the MCU Namor, he is a bit on that possessive side and obsessive, he falls in love and he is passionate about it. Is he Arrogant yes but he can hold it in for a while, his pride is one of his many traits, at the same time MCU Namor has this sweet side to him, a kindness, a playfulness, but also a ruthlessness that he always has when it comes to protecting his people. Anyway, look forward to it becoming a fanfic on here after I work out the kinks in it.

People really getting mad at folks shipping Shuri x Namor, talking about it being predatory with him being 500 years old, but at the same time not batting a eye and thor and Jane, lord forbid any vampire fics, or *cough*Twilight*cough* people are excited and we know he did what he did without spoilers people can just stop before he did what he did write fanfics where it doesn't happen, this isn't to say that other ships aren't bad, like I like Shuri x Riri, but also Shuri x namor hits differently.

I hate to say it but we don't see a lot of poc characters getting this much love or hype a lot of times, and fandoms tend to not treat poc characters well, and I just feel weird people are saying shipping this is awful and predatory, because of him, it's calling a poc man a predator when he has done nothing to her in that kind of way.

Also we understand the message and the importance of the film, but at the sametime let people have fun there are so many other movies that have a important message, and people let them go ahead with their fun like it's no problem but when it comes two poc characters now everyone has a problem.

Everyone Chill out have fun enjoy the film it was made to be enjoyed, ship some characters that I will once again both legal ages have fun.

Ps,

I look forward to all the reader inserts keep me fed beloveds💖❤️‍🔥♥️💖❤️‍🔥💖

NAMOR OF TALOKAN in BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) Dir. Ryan Coogler

I just watched Black Panther and this mf right here he's going on the blorbo shelf

I would never talk bad about marvel studios why would I ever do that??? hes there

Let me preface this by saying I just saw black panther 2 the Monday after thanksgiving. Usually we see all marvel movies opening night but I didn’t have the money to take my sister and our friend so we waited. I watched the trailers, thought I knew what was happening. I had heard that the villain was hot but from the trailers I don’t remember finding anyone super hot. So let me tell you what a surprise it was for me to walk in unprepared.

I’m only gonna say this ONCE. The power Namor has over me and my obsessions is ridiculous. First of all I should be stronger than this and second of all I am NOT apparently NOT stronger than this. Never before has the fluff tag had me in a chokehold UNTIL THIS MAN resurfaced from the water. Have I written any stories? What noooo (yes I have I’ve written four already) and you know what I’m not even mad.

Namor is the most beautiful hunk I’ve seen in my entire life and I am dying for more fluff. More tropes. More x readers more text post memes. I want more of him on my timeline in my LIFE. On a side note the water queen by tacotime on archive of our own has me also in a choke hold. It’s Shuri and Namor and typically I don’t read fanfics like that with preexisting characters as the main characters (because I’m selfish and I wanna imagine myself in the story) but IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY IVE READ IN A LONG TIME. And I’m from the era of 2016 WATTPAD where in the marvel stories Clint hid in the vents and Thor would fight anyone for the last pop tart. Which in my opinion is the best era of fanfiction. So when I say run to archive of our own I MEAN RUN.

Anyways uh black panther was like 10/10 totally recommend great movie. And other than Namor who totally ruined me I love how we unpacked apart of Shuri I didn’t know I needed. Beautifully done.

some namor studies! :^)

Imagine being Shuri's girlfriend who she pushed away when T'Challa died but when Namor appears she realises just how much she needs you

You were a mutant blessed with the gift of lightning born in Wakanda. You were invited to Charles Xavier's school but unlike other mutants you weren't shunned from your home. Wakanda was used to the supernatural and saw it as a blessing from the ancestors so your gift was embraced. Still it was quite rare and so your family received a lot of attention and favours while elevated them a lot. As one such favour, you were invited to train with the Jabari tribe in the mountains to hone your lightning. The tribe was of course very well respected and so you went along happily...but they weren't the only ones interested in your gift. The princess invited you to her lab when she was 14. She wanted to meet you and of course to investigate your powers as a scientist. You'd spent 2 years with the Jabari tribe so were pretty comfortable using your gifts by now. You were the same age as Shuri and took an instant liking to her the second you saw her smile. You were both powerful fun-loving young women who got along easily and fell in love even easier. There were 4 long years of pining and fitting before finally Shuri asked you to be her girlfriend and you agreed. Together you honed your powers and of course Shuri created tons of tech and suits for you. On your own you could only shoot lightning bolts a few feet in front of you but with Shuri's suit that more than tripled and the intensity of your powers was also strengthened.

When Killmonger appeared and de-throned T'Challa you escaped with Shuri and helped her family reach the Jabari tribe safely. Given your close relationship with M'Baku you advocated for the royal family and they were allowed to stay. You helped restore T'Challa to the throne and fought beside Shuri. As you grew older you went from strength to strength. T'Challa had always liked you partly because he could tease Shuri about you but also because he could see how happy you made her. Shuri's mother was a little more traditional but she warmed up to you and now treated you like a daughter. So the two of you were very happy together but everything changed when T'challa died. Shuri became obsessed with her work and retreated to her lab. Okoye and even Queen Ramonda sought your help in getting her out of there but it didn't work. Shuri had put up a wall that even you couldn't break through. In some way it felt like she'd purposefully built that wall for you. You were no longer a couple and while you still saw each other every day she distanced herself from you more and more. When you eventually confront her on the matter she said she couldn't deal with a relationship right now and unofficially broke up with you. You were at a loss for what to do. You understood she was in a fragile time and everyone kept telling you she'd change her mind once her grief lessened but a year later and still she was cold and distant towards you. With your work as a member of the elite guards you still saw her every week but it was never the same and you had no idea how to get her back. Then suddenly a new threat arose and Shuri went to America with Okoye to solve it but got into more danger when she was captured and taken hostage. You couldn't believe Shuri had left on a dangerous mission and hadn't told you. She hadn't told you about Namor and you had to find out from another guard what had happened. She hadn't even said goodbye when she left. You were heartbroken. Were you really so separate now she didn't even think to see you before leaving on a dangerous mission overseas? Didn't she think you'd want to know? You were so scared for her and asked the ancestors every day to bring her back safely. You promised to never ask for anything ever again if they did that but when Shuri did come back you didn't just feel relief you also felt anger. You had heard everyone buzzing and hoped Shuri might be back. You walked into her lab and saw her standing next to Nakia and the Queen. You stopped right in your tracks frozen. "Y/n look who it is" Nakia said smiling at you but you just felt pain. Shuri noticed your expression and waved "I'm fine don't worry". Tears filled your eyes and you rushed from the room before you burst into tears. You were crying as you ran when Shuri followed you. "Y/n!" she called "please stop, I'm sorry I made you worry but I'm fine. There's no need to cry" and she tried to touch your arm but you moved away from her. "Why didn't you tell me you were going?" you yelled "do I matter that little to you anymore? I know you don't love me anymore but I still love you Shuri!" you cried. Shuri looked down uncomfortable and you shook your head. "You used to love it when I told you that, not it just disgusts you". "It's not that" Shuri said "y/n I am now the heir and that changes things. I will need to continue my family's line and I cannot do that with you". You felt like she'd slapped you even though objectively the statement made sense. "So what? You marry a man you don't even love just so you can reproduce?" you asked "I thought you scoffed at tradition?". Shuri looked down "I don't know! I just know there are a lot of uncertain things about the future and my brother's death has changed everything". "Even the way you feel about me?" you asked and Shuri swallowed. "No, never" she said "but it does change how I can act on it". You shook your head and unsure what to even say just backed away. This time she let you go. You sought out Okoye wanting nothing to do with the royal family and as she'd been banished she didn't mind. You were sat together one morning comforting one another when Nakia found you both. When she saw you, her eyes filled with pity and you could see all the things she wanted to say. "Don't" you said "I am fine". "No you're not" Okoye said and you rolled your eyes "fine I'm not! The woman I love no longer wants to be with me because she needs a child and I can't give her that..." you sighed "but I also can't change that so what can you do?". "That is the reason Shuri broke up with you?" Nakia asked and you nodded "she said she needs an heir. T'Challa obviously didn't have any children and after her mother she is the last of her line...so we're done". Okoye shook her head but Nakia was staring at you. "Nakia, are you okay?" you asked and she shook her head looking down "I'm fine I just...I'm sad for you is all". You got the feeling she was lying but before you could react the wall exploded with water. "It's Namor!" Nakia said and she rushed to help a civilian. "Okoye, y/n!" she called and while Okoye ran to the people you ran to the water. "Y/n no!" Okoye said but you shook your head "don't worry I know what I'm doing" and you started climbing up the cliffside. Without your gear you couldn't give deadly blasts but you could still paralyse people. You zapped the water and two of Namor's people instantly fell to the ground. You made sure to avoid anywhere near your people and targeted the ocean. You worked your way along the cliff firing bolts until you looked up to see a flying man heading right for you. You supposed this must be Namor and flexed your hands "let's see how fish boy lasts against lightning" and got ready. With your suit you might've had a chance but one-on-one against a god while perched on an unsteady cliff? You fired a few bolts near him but he was fast and dodged them pretty easily. He knocked you off your perch and sent you crashing into the water below. Obviously once you were in the water your power was useless. You couldn't electrocute anyone without also doing so to yourself and so tried to find land as soon as you could. "Y/n!" you heard someone call and looked up to see M'Baku. He was on a boat and held his arm out to you "just don't use your powers, you'll kill us all". "Got it" you nodded dragging yourself up and you helped to paddle to shore. Once there a ship beamed you up and deposited you into a group of people. "Y/n!" Shuri said hugging you before you could even register she was there. "What were you thinking fighting him? He's a god!". "And I'm a mutant" you replied "you know in some places people would claim I'm a descendant of a god or demi-god". "You're not half god y/n" Shuri said fondly and you smiled before you both realised what you were doing. "I need my suit..." you said awkwardly "but I guess I can't go home to get it". Shuri shook her head "it's okay I have multiple duplicated in my lab". You nodded and were about to turn away when Okoye said you needed to get to the palace. Namor killed Shuri's mother. When you got there Okoye and Nakia were trying to revive her. "Someone hold her back!" Okoye cried and you grabbed Shuri. She tried desperately to get away from you and you thanked M'Baku for all the strength training he made you do. You held Shuri while she screamed and cried until Nakia said Queen Ramonda was dead. Then Shuri just broke down crying and she stopped trying to fight you. She just fell into you and you held her. The others left the two of you alone as you cradled Shuri in your arms. When Shuri stopped crying she was quiet for a while before she spoke. "I should get up and sort everything..." she said. "You don't have to if you don't want to" you said "we have time and someone else will start the arrangements". Shuri shook her head "I want to" and you helped her stand. She went to walk away and then looked back for you, confused why you weren't coming. So used to her icing you out you paused "would you like me to come with you". She nodded silently and you fell into step with her. After her mother's death Shuri changed towards you. She was cold to everyone but retreated back to you like a sage space. It was as if losing her last family member made her reassess her stance on your relationship and she came back to you. You stood behind her at the funeral and helped her work in the lab just like old times. You, Nakia and Riri worked on the ritual for her and when she began freaking out you calmed her down. You got her to breathe and stop yelling. Then she realised she did have the powers of the black panther and everything changed. Shuri wowed all the elders and emerged as Wakanda's new hero so you all began prepping for war. You were still worried about Shuri though. She didn't just want to stop Namor she wanted to end him. You got after losing her mother she was rightly furious but killing wasn't Shuri. That wasn't the happy cheeky girl you knew. She wasn't a killer. Before the battle you helped Shuri get ready and she noticed you were quiet. "What's wrong?" she asked and you shook your head "you're going out there to fight a god and you're asking me what's wrong?". Shuri shook her head "i won't be alone" and she took your hand "plus I can tell there's something else bothering you". You sighed "Shuri...what are you going to do when you defeat Namor". Shuri looked you in the eye and shrugged "I'll kill him". You frowned "but Shuri are you sure that's what you should do? Your mother wouldn't want you to...". "My mother is gone! So if my brother and my father! All of them are gone and someone needs to pay...I think my mother's murderer is a pretty good choice". You nodded "he deserves it but you don't. Shuri killing him will change you and it's something you might come to regret plus I don't think you can do it. You're not like that...". Shuri shook her head "I'm capable of it y/n I know I am. I can feel it and I have proof. "I saw kill monger" she told you and you paused "when?". "He was the one waiting for me. Not T'challa. Not my mother or father...him. That's all the proof we need that I can do this". You shook your head "no I don't believe it. The ancestors must've shown you him for a reason, to remind you of where this path will lead if you take it, to show you why you should find another way...". "There is no other way y/n" Shuri said sharply "I've made up my mind now are you going to come with me or not?". You shook your head "there's no way I'd let you go alone" and despite everything Shuri smiled. You all assembled on a huge ship and waited for Namor. You were going to stay on the ship and electrocute as many of Namor's people as possible while Shuri took him onto her ship. She'd kitted you out in a brand new suit which was practically buzzing with how much power it had. When Namor's people appeared you were the first person to fire a shot. You raised your right arm and fired a bolt of electricity right into the ocean. Immediately 10 of Namor's soldiers floated paralysed. You smiled at the power of Shuri's machine and got to work. The trouble was you didn't want to hurt any of your own people so as soon as one of your people fell in the water, you couldn't shoot. Then you worked on the ones on the ship. Any that got near to you quickly fell but again as they brought water onto the boat you had to be careful not to electrocute anyone else. So your attack got more and more short-ranged until you just used your hands. Any soldier you could get your hands on went down but they realised your power was becoming more limited and began swarming you. It made sense they'd try and take out the girl with lightning. You were trying to defend yourself when you slipped and they all pushed forwards. Nakia yelled your name and then Okoye was there in her suit. She swept Namor's people off you and once you regained your footing you were back in action. Still Namor's army seemed endless though and they soon took control of the boat. You were getting pushed to the edge and the only thing stopping them from climbing the side and taking you was the precise lightning you ran down the edge of the boat but you couldn't keep it up forever. Your energy was fading and they knew the second you faltered it was over. So Namor's people targeted you once again while your people tried to defend you. An arrow suddenly got through the defences making you cry out in pain and drop your electricity. The army swarmed and that's when Shuri appeared. When you saw Namor beside her, calling off his army you cheered louder than anyone. Then you did the Wakanda forever salute and swore at the pain in your arm. Okoye made you sit down and started calling for a medic. You got the Queen of Wakanda herself. The second Shuri realised you were hurt she beamed you up into her ship and worked on you. You asked for details of what had happened but she shushed you while she worked. By the time you got back to Wakanda she'd pretty much healed your arm and the pain was just a numb ache. Then Shuri told you what had happened. That she'd spared Namor's life and there was an alliance there. You were so happy you screamed and threw your arms around Shuri's neck accidentally kissing her. You froze realising and moved back "Shuri I'm sorry...". "Don't be" she said and brought your face closer so she could kiss you. You kissed her back so relieved she was still here and that she had come back to you but you had to be sure. You separated and looked at her "Shuri...what does this mean? What about you needing an heir?". "I don't care" she laughed "I figured there's no point fretting over the next line. I should just work on making my reign the best I can and I'll need you beside me to do that". You blushed "you will?". Shuri nodded "I love you y/n" which after a year of not hearing made you cry. Shuri quickly wrapped her arms around you and apologised for everything. "I promise to never shut you out again y/n" she told you and you nodded "I believe you". After that things settled down nicely. The city was restored and everyone moved back home, A big party was thrown and you danced all night. Nakia left shortly after and Shuri went to visit. After she'd been there a day she invited you to come too. Okoye was just as confused as you so you gathered this wasn't planned but went as Shuri had asked you to. You could tell Nakia and Shuri had something to tell you from the second you saw them. You could read Shuri like a book and she had her secret-keeping face on. It didn't take long though, the second you entered Nakia's house you spotted a child. You didn't take much notice of him, you knew Nakia owned a school so figured he was from that but the way Shuri and Nakia kept looking at him told you he was something more. Nakia called him over and Shuri smiled "Y/n...this is my nephew Toussaint. Toussaint this is my girlfriend y/n". You paused and looked from Shuri to Nakia "nephew? As in...". Shuri nodded "now we know why Nakia was absent while we were saving the world". You chuckled and then smiled at the small child "it's nice to meet you Toussaint". "You too" he smiled back and you looked at Shuri "he's got his smile". She nodded "I know" and her eyes filled with tears. You grabbed her hand and she clung to you tightly. You had a lovely afternoon with Nakia, Toussaint and Shuri but there was one question on your mind though. When you were alone in your room you turned to Shuri. "I have to ask...did you only get back together with me because you knew about Nakia and Toussaint?". Shuri shook her head "I promise I didn't. After I lost my mother something just broke and I needed you. I realised there was no point putting the throne first, I couldn't rule if I wasn't functioning and I needed you for that so if the throne wanted me it would have to accept all of me including you. I figured I could adopt or appoint an heir or who knows maybe even invent a way for us to...if you wanted kids of course" she said blushing "but the point is I want you y/n. It's not that Nakia solved my problem or it was convenient. I'm nothing without you". You blushed feeling the exact same way you did when you channelled a huge storm but this was all Shuri. You took her hand still looking down "I'm nothing without you either...so never break up with me again!" you said sternly. Shuri blushed but nodded "I promise" and kissed you.

So I saw Black Panther 2 last week and of course came home and started writing for it but the one thing that bugged me about the plot is how they never built a device to zap all of Namor’s people and just stun them. Surely that’d be your first move when fighting people from the ocean? But they didn’t do that so I created a mutant who could instead.
