#technically counts

so, first i doodled Sabreclaw and Scarlet Spider-Girl; fun shipping, yay. then i doodled Yellow Jacket and Doxxie; again, fun shipping. but then i hit a bump, as Misha’s single, and is certainly NOT going to date Patrick, so i doodled that silly ‘comic’  still fun. -the story there is meta and ‘canon’, wherein Misha originally had a crush on Wiccan (who wound up with Hulkling), then tried to date Speed (and screwed that up because pf the whole twin replacement thing), then eventually found himself kissing Thunderstrike -(i am REALLY loose with my timeline here...since Kevin Masterson was part of A-Next, matching Sabreclaw and Spider-Girl’s ages, yet he’s that age in current continuity with the Maximoff twins so...idk)

then, during one of many car rides, thoughts went wandering, and i came upon the idea of the “Panther twins” there. (people who’ve followed me for ages might recognize, and yes this is a rebooted Adanna). they are not actually twins; T’Challa and Ororo got married in my timeline here, but had a hard time trying to conceive and have an heir; eventually they went for invitro, and it was a rough pregnancy, so rough that the doctors took some of the unimplanted embryos and used a surrogate to have a backup heir...without telling them. Ororo ended up giving birth to Adanna, and about 7 months later they couple were told about Azari (7 months, because the doctors/state heads who put the backup heir plan into action figured that if Adanna didn’t survive, that was long enough to cover up the first baby’s death, but it’s long enough that they could also spin it that Ororo ha just gotten pregnant again immediately if they both survived). T’Challa and Ororo were furious of course, because this was a huge violation of their trust and other stuff, but...they took Azari, because he was their son just the same as Adanna was their daughter, there was never any doubt or argument over that. however...it all doesn’t fully end happily as we roll up to the “current’ time of my MC2 where we got teenagers here; when the kids were somewhere between 12-14, Ororo and T’Challa got divorced, the kids staying in Wakanda; Azari’s origins were discovered by him at that time, but he didn’t bring it up (and secretly kinda believes he’s part of the reason his parents split up). so they’ve had somewhere between 3-5 years without their mother constantly around to help buffer the royal training and stuff, because oh boy; there are those who think Azari should be the crowned heir, because he’s the eldest son, while others think it should be Adanna because she’s the eldest child and Panther spirit approved (give me a little leeway here, not 100% familiar with Black Panther lore...). when it comes to the kids, Adanna wants to be queen, wants to be Black Panther, while Azari doesn’t want to be king, and has mixed feelings about the Panther mantle (again since he knows his mom didn’t give birth to him, he kinda fears the Panther spirit doesn’t think he’s a real heir...). Adanna inherited some of the heart-herb powers (again because she was naturally born) and electrical conductivity, while Azari inherited more of their mother’s skill sets (they can actually “link up’ and super charge electrical currents together, completing a proper positive to negative circuit, yay for mutant siblings’ powers working in tandem) and is kinda super smart but easily bored so seems like a slacker; he gets along pretty well with his aunt Shuri. so anyways, there comes a breaking point, a blow up between Azari and T’Challa, and it’s suggested that Azari perhaps go and lives with Ororo for a while...

so Azari comes and joins an X-team, just about the same time that Misha leaves his Avengers team (i mean, they had multiples, and they had both Creed brothers, so it makes sense to split them up lol) after the Kevin fiasco and the two of them kinda hit it off and wind up coupling up. leading to plenty of jokes about Azari’s callsign, cause he can’t *really* settle on one he likes, because Misha is Warwolf, so “Battlecat” follows that naming scheme, but at the same  time Misha could be “White Wolf” if Azari goes with Black Panther XD also, Azari hates being called T’Chaka, because in Wakanda all the adults only ever addressed him formally as “Prince T’Chaka”, so that’s why he primarily goes by Azari Munroe...plus you know, trying to blend in better while living with his mom
