Marcus came back home, he had a grand night he found a lovely set of redhead twins to go home with and he was sure it was going to be a grand night.  But instead he found a beautiful shapely black woman in Wakandan  warrior garb.  She looked at him a smirk playing over her face.<br/><br/>He glared at her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“I am sorry ladies I am going to have to take a raincheck…I sincerely apologize.  I do.  I will make it worth your while.  Do call.”  </b></span>He gave the more buxom one his card.<br/><br/>The look the dark skinned woman with long dreads was giving him was not one they wanted to mess with even for a roll in the sac with that one.<br/><br/>He phoned for and Uber for them to be waiting downstair to take them wherever they wanted to go.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“Why are you here Auntie?!?”</b></span>He all but growled, he wasn’t being disrespectful, but she often told him certain things need to be done, they needed to stay away from one another they both couldn’t die together and yet here she was…why?!?<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>“It is time T’chall.  You have to be our new emissary to the world.  We must not let the world our brothers feel as if we have abandoned them.” </b></span>She spoke to him.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)"><b>“I don’t want this duty crap you want to spout at me right now.  We ain’t abandoned shit Auntie…They abandoned us!  They took to destroying our kingdom cause we didn’t give them what they wanted…they aimed Atlantis at us, but we survived that now you want me to do what?  If you say SHIELD I swear fo' Bast I will choke you!” </b></span>He had a particular penchant for hating SHIELD as they knew and had enough secrets to locate Wakanda again.  It was his birthright that he didn’t want till he had completed his mission of those that took his mother and father from him.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>“They know who took her over…they will give you a complete dossier on where to find the person that took over your mother and killed your parents.  You simply have to work with them for a time and they will give it to you on a silver platter.” </b></span>She was trying to be strong for him, but the memory of seeing her brother’s decapitated head was still fresh, even after all these years.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“And you trust this source?” </b></span>Marcus was cold right now, he knew she was trying be strong for him but his own mission was coming to a head.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“Where is this meeting?”</b></span><br/><br/>She tossed him a bead and watched him snatch it out of the air and link with the others around his wrist.  He winced briefly with the influx of information.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“So the meeting is that soon?  Fine…I guess I should pack my bags and be going then?”</b></span>He responded.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>“Already packed and waiting for you by the door.  I put something special in there for you!”</b></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"> </span>She spoke looking at him the perfect mix of her brother and his mother.<br/><br/>He moved to hug her, he held her tightly, she was the only mother he knew now.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(235, 107, 86)"> </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“I love you, Nana.” </b> </span>He didn’t say it often.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>“You say that like it is good bye?” </b> </span>The tears welling up in her eyes as if this was the last time she would see him, she pulled away caressing his cheek.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“We are dealing with SHIELD, how do you know…its not Nana.”</b></span>It was his turned to become teary, he grabbed his back, the black duffle.  Put on his sunglasses, he wasn’t effected by the night.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b> “Lock up, Nana.” </b></span>He said as he closed the door and headed to the rendevoz.<br/><br/>********<br/>He walked in the room.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i> ‘Nice eye candy at least.’</i> </span>He sat quietly and just listened he didn’t give up his bag just yet as he had yet to assess it and he didn’t trust these people, that was just the long and short of it.<br/><br/>He listened to the woman that would be called Oak and found her banter with the other woman Amelia walked in.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i>‘MMmm I do like chocolate.’</i></span>He listened to all of this so who was that, they were all like him, but who were they, the rolodex of heroes came up on the inside of his glasses as who some of these people might be or their parentage at least.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i>‘So this was what his father spouted off as being the group that saved  the world many times over.  Now they wanted a bunch of loners to work together.'</i></span>He chuckled to himself as he gazed over at the woman Adelaide walk in.<br/><br/>He looked at Oaklynn and his HUD indicated she was at least Black Widow’s daughter.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i>‘Fits!’  </i></span>He thought.<br/><br/>Then the other guy came in, he saw the quiet one but this one seemed off somehow and he couldn’t put his finger on it just yet.  But they all said the same thing…but they were all here.  He didn’t respond for a bit.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b>“What do you want us to do?  I mean since we are all…here.”</b></span>He wasn’t leaving till he got what he came for. He fully intended to make his mother/father’s killer disappear. All of this bantering back and forth wasn't necessary. There was a job to do, lets do it so he could get back to his life. They were somewhat interested they were all here after all for one reason or another.
