    Summary

    “Your dean wishes to report you to the President and have you punished. I should agree, for you broke my rule so that your little bird could sing.”

    He could say he’s sorry, but he thinks that if she plans to kill him now, that would not do anything but take away his dignity. So Coriolanus stays silent.

    “But she is just a bird,” Gaul laughs, loud with her chest, something off-kilter and insane about it. “And you were right. For your lovely proposal to work, there must be a victor. Now you understand, it is not often that I am wrong. I think you would be wasted in punishment, Mr. Snow. I think instead, I’ll take you in as my protege.”

     

    Or: in which Lucy Gray stays with Coriolanus in the Capitol after the games.

    Summary

    A memory of flames licking at the pillars of the throne room on the ancestral plane, N’Jadaka’s mouth curled in a mocking sneer, filled Shuri’s memory. Fire and earth. “You were happy to die at my hands,” she echoed, the skin on her arms pebbling as a shiver ran through her.

    “Yes. But I only wished for one thing, and I had not gotten it before my death. So I was glad you showed mercy in the end.”

    “And what did you wish for?” Shuri asked, advancing on him from the bed. “Your people swimming up the river to break Wakanda’s borders? An empire of blood against all other nations in the world?”

    “I wished,” said Namor very quietly, watching her and not moving, “to hear you say my name.”

    ____________________

    Shuri, who has given up the throne of Wakanda, has a lot of time to think in Haiti about the future of Wakanda. Fortunately, someone else is more than happy to offer some assistance, but when new developments arise, she and Namor of Talokan must forge a tentative alliance while navigating a more treacherous sea than either of them expected.
