Staring at his bedroom window, Gregory watched the morning sun rise.
Jessica laying on top of him, doing nothing but circling one of her fingers on his chest.
Until she decided to break the silence they had let go on for the last few minutes.
"So...that happened." She said.
"Said the one who started it." Gregory replied. Before moving to look at Jessica. "Guess Emma must've really made you jealous huh?" He mused.
Gregory wincing a second later, since Jessica had suddenly began squeezing his morning wood a little too tightly.
"Sorry, what was that?" She asked innocently.
"Nothing." Gregory replied. Feeling her grip loosen.
"That's what I thought." Jessica said. "So, are we a couple now?"
"I mean for me it's a big yes, but if you don't want to..." Gregory trailed off.
Only for Jessica to give him a deadpan look.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Gregory said. He then leaned in and kissed Jessica.
Getting ready to pick up where they left off only a couple of hours ago.
"Excuse me you two."
Only to be interrupted when Athena spoke up.
"Sorry to interrupt you consummating your just established intimate relationship further, but I have important news to relay to you Gregory." Athena said.
And Gregory and Jessica were pretty sure if she had an actual body she would definitely be smirking at the moment.
"Go ahead Athena." Gregory said.
"I've got a location on Ulysses Klaue. His ship, the Churchill, is currently docked in an unregistered port on the coast of Chile in South America." She explained.
When she did both Gregory and Jessica turned serious.
"Understood, Athena. Begin making the necessary preparations." Gregory ordered
"I already have." Athena replied.
Gregory and Jessica definitely noting some smugness in her tone just now.
But neither of them commented on it.
Since they had bigger things to currently worry about.
Like securing all of Klaue Vibranium for themselves.
For Gregory had been keeping an eye out for the South African mercenary, ever since the year began.
Watching and waiting.
And now the time has finally come.
So with that he and his new girlfriend climbed out of bed and got moving.
For there was work to be done.
***
[South America, Chile, Unregistered Port]
'Something isn't right here.' Ulysses Klaue thought.
[Insert Image of Ulysses Klaue Here]
His eyes darting around and taking in his surroundings.
Which was currently the inside of a warehouse, near an unregistered port, where his ship was currently docked.
And has been for the past few weeks as he recovered from his run-in with the Wakandians.
Unconsciously rubbing the brand on his neck they had given him during their last encounter.
'Too bad for them I'm the one who got the last laugh' Klaue gleefully thought.
Since he had still been able to make off with the Vibranium he had managed to steal from them.
A small bit of which he was getting ready to sell off in a deal he had put the finishing touches on a week ago.
To recoup the losses obtaining the Vibranium had cost him in the first place.
Even with the help of his Wakandian contact, who from what Klaus figured was likely dead by now.
"Well, that's how it goes sometimes eh." The arms dealer and mercenary mused.
His men paying him no mind, continuing to focus on their job of guarding him and the merchandise.
All of them still waiting on the mysterious client who had contacted them to purchase the Vibranium to arrive.
Which was the reason Klaue was so on edge.
For he had just obtained the Vibranium, and had barely told he anyone he had it.
Yet somehow the person who contacted him knew he did.
Telling Klaus whoever he was dealing with was not to be trifled with.
'Where are they? I'm ready to get this deal done and get paid!' Klaus thought a bit impatiently.
*Wrrr!*
"Aghh!!!"
Only for he, and all his men, to let suddenly fall to their knees and scream out in pain as a high-pitched noise suddenly began assaultting their ears.
A noise which continued to do so until Klaue and all of his men fell unconscious.
Once they did the doors to the warehouse opened up and Gregory, along with Jessica, and Jonn, entered it. All dressed in the same tactical suits Gregory team had worn the night they saved his parents and kidnapped the Winter Soldier.
Since these tactical suits were designed specifically for black ops misisons.
Like the one they were running tonight.
"Thunderbird, secure the Vibranium, Spider-Woman Klaue, I'll handle the others." Gregory said.
Removing his pistol from his leg holster before cocking it.
He then walked up to each every one of Klaue's men and put bullets through each of their heads, executing them without hesitation.
All while John walked off with the crate containing the Vibranium, thanks to his superhuman strength, and Jessica secured Klaue.
As they left the warehouse Gregory finished up.
He then went back outside and picked up one of the tanks of gasoline his group had brought with them before heading back inside and spreading it everywhere.
He then did the same thing again, until finally he lit a match and then watched as the warehouse went ablaze.
Right start which he returned to the Excelsior.
Where he, Jessica, and John, then moved to assault Klaue's ship, Churchill, taking the rest of his Vibranium and killing the rest of his crew.
Before destroying the South African mercenaries vessel as well.
After which they made there way back to Innovation Island.
Where upon landing in the hangar bay, where several Excelsior aircraft were now docked, Gregory and his team having used Excelsior-One, they noticed the Clarice waiting for them.
A young black boy, unconscious in her arms.
Exiting Excelsior-One Gregory walked right up to them. "Was there any trouble?" He asked.
Clarice shook her head.
"No, not at all. Sure the boy tried to fight but that didn't last once we hit him with an I.C.E.R. shot. Of which Athena told me there will be no lasting effects from." She explained.
"Good." Gregory replied.
Half of his plan surrounding Klaue already complete.
Now it was time to execute the other half.
***
[Africa, Wakanda, Golden City]
Sitting upon his throne the current king of Wakanda, T'Chaka had a grave look upon his face.
[Insert Image of Young T'Chaka Here]
As his councilors argued around him, the members of the Dora Milaje and the Hatut Zeraze in the room sent judgemental looks his way, even through they tried to hide it, and his wife Ramonda looked at him with disdain, T'Chaka barely registered any of this.
Instead focusing most of his attention on the two individuals currently on the floor in front of his throne.
The first was the worst criminal Wakanda had seen in decades, Ulysses Klaue.
The man who had hurt Wakanda at its very core
But was now restrained and unconscious before him.
While the second was a young boy, who had both a look of fear, anger, and wonderment on his face all at the same time.
The boy being none other than his nephew, N'Jadaka.
[Insert image of Erik Killmonger Here]
The child of his brother, who just a short while ago he had killed with his own two hands.
As T'Chaka continued looking at the pair before him he couldn't help but think how all of this had happened.
How Klaue and N'Jadaka had been found by one of their border patrols just a few hours ago.
Along with a note attached to Klaue chest.
A note currently in T'Chaka left hand.
One which he decided to read once more, even though he had already done so many times.
"Hello there Wakandians. You don't me but I know all about you. I know all about Vibranium, your technology, and how you like to pass yourself off as a third-world country in order to keep the outside world from sticking its nose in your business. Which I understand and respect. Since I wouldn't like anyone sticking their nose into my business either. Which I know is hypocritical of me to say, considering I'm doing just that, but I felt it was necessary. Since I don't want to be enemies but allies with you all. As such I offer up these two as a peace offering. The first of which is the recent criminal you've had trouble with known as Klaue. No need to say thank you, the Vibranium I confiscated from Klaue is more than enough. Especially considering the boy with him is of royal blood. A prince of your nation. How do I know this? Well, let's just say I have my ways. Also with this gift for peace I also offer a warning. Your secrets won't remain secret for much longer. The outside world is advancing much master than you all think. Just take a true look and you will see. You won't be able to hide for much longer. And if you would like to avoid making enemies of everyone then I would more than happy to help you with that. So when ready use the information on this note to contact me. I promise, you won't regret it. Untill then.
Yours truly, Sentinel"
Finishing the note T'Chaka let out a tired sigh.
Wondering just if this Sentinel realizes how much chaos he has just thrown Wakanda into.
T'Chaka having no idea Sentinel did.
***
Yep, Gregory the mad lad he is returned not only Klaue but also N'Jadaka/Killmonger to Wakanda extremely early. What effect will this have on the future?
Well continue reading to find out.
