wakanda forever

“Ah yes, your image.” Nakia replied with a teasing yet warm smile. Up until recently, she had not known much about the man that stood before her. That image of his was what she saw-- but she knew better now. M’Baku was a good man with a good heart and she respected him more and more as time went on. “Your secret will always be safe with me. I hope you know how honored I am to see more of your softer side.”

Nakia scoffed. “You can say that again. In all my time traveling, I have never seen a sight as dysfunctional as that conference room.”

“I am still in the process of finding that new description. It feels as if I am constantly redefining myself and my situation, especially with all the changes around me.” Nakia smiled. “T’Challa has had time to redefine many things for himself as well. I am sure that if you have a chance to speak with him, it will go better than you anticipate.”

A smirk crossed her lips, eyebrows raised. “And you assume those two things must exist outside one another? I have been and can be both beautiful and strategic. It is not difficult.”

Nakia turned to her, one eyebrow lifted. “It was certainly unique. Though I think most are not interested in running away. We are readying ourselves to stay and fight.”

“Hmm. You do have a point.” Nakia hummed her reply with a shrug of agreement. “I am not sure what I expected. Maybe I had hoped that with how close the threat is becoming, people would come together in a more graceful manner. Are those meetings always like that?”

“For how eventful it was, we did not accomplish much during that meeting.”

“And you are proud of this boomerang arrow? I will say that even I do not have one of those.” Nakia teased.

“It is possible.” Nakia stated very matter of fact with a shrug. “A good spy with the right skills can accomplish anything.”

“No, no-- we exist in the same dimension as everyone else here. Wakanda is my country. I am far from home at the moment, but by the way you speak I would guess that you are even farther from yours.”

“It is good to meet you, Elektra Natchios. It appears you were not mistaken after all. Was there something you wanted to discuss? I am always ready to answer questions about the Outreach Center and anything related.”

“Si. Estoy en buena compañía entonces. We spies need to stick together. I am sure that you should give yourself more credit-- undercover work is not an easy task.”

Nakia responded with an amused smile. “Well at least the attention has gotten me to the top of the list. I am honored, truly. And what is your name?”
