Chapter 116 - [70]

"And who might you be…" A deep-husky voice came from the side, with it's unusual yet too familiar accent.

"… Ah, it's an honor to meet you in person. King T'Challa." Max greeted extending his hand, doing a firm hand-shake.

"Hmm… Have we met before? You seem familiar, I didn't catch your name…" he asked, uncertain—he certainly felt that Max was familiar, but he couldn't guess why. 'Is it the CIA or FBI this time. This is getting more draining the longer I stay here.' T'Challa thought, which Max heard due to his ability.

'Why is the FBI and CIA on him?' Max was about to answer, "Well, in a…"—when his voice was cut off when a shrill voice came and a panther jumped on him, making him almost fall.

As Bayak the panther licked him on the face, Shuri tagged along. Signaling all the guards to leave. They compiled without making any noise.

"Boy, clam down…" Max said, it was getting kind of annoying. His suit was getting wet.

"Did you bring me meat?" Bayak asked, his voice thick and wobbly.

"This is the first question you had to ask…"

"Did the panther just talk?!" T'Challa said, he was fairly shaken.

"Yeah… Brother, this is Max, and Max this is T'Challa… And yeah, this is Bayak and he talks… sometimes." Shuri quickly introduced them.

"Oh," T'Challa said, now knowing this was the infamous man that helped him in the attack. "But that doesn't explain why the Panther is talking."

"I have a name you know, I am called Bayak." The Black Panther said proudly puffing his c.h.e.s.t. 'Huh, take that!, you aren't the only king.' Max raised an eyebrow at the panther's thought.

'That was certainly new, but then again, Bayak was always competitive… but why with T'Challa.' Max shrugged off his thoughts.

T'Challa looked at Shuri just to be sure he was hearing it right. "This will be a long conversation. And I need a drink…"

.

After a cup of tea, and a long chat most of the things were cleared, well kinda.

"So let me get this straight, you are an alien life-form from out of space, and you are like a parasite…" T'Challa said.

"A symbiote, not a parasite. We are no means a disuse." Max cleared.

"Ah sorry symbiote. And you needed a host so you… you 'bonded' with the panther. And now he speaks." T'Challa finished.

"Well, yes."

After a long pause and a sip of his drink did T'Challa speak again. "I am getting a headache just thinking about it. So, I will just thank you, for helping us in need, and also with Shuri's situation. You have the favor of the Royal Family. Now I will have to take my leave, again you have my utmost gratitude."

Shuri gasped at the last statement. T'Challa didn't say anything, he just left. Even if Max didn't have his Telepathy on he would know that, this man has no ill-intention towards him.

"You got the Royal Family? That's pretty amazing…" Shuri said. Well it was a big deal. Meaning Max was now an official citizen of Wakanda and much more.

"Oh, by the way. Here's your Pizza." Max said, pulling out a pizza.

"Uh… this doesn't have… sticky stuff in it? Does it?" she yukked at his symbiotic goo.

Max rolled his eyes at the statement, opening the lid. This Pizza was still hot, as steam came out. "Well, it has sticky stuff in it…" Max said lifting a slice as the cheese was webbing webs making it look even more juicy. "You can just watch, while I eat." Max practical gave a pizza-eating grin. New York Pizza baby, it's a bliss.

And looking by the pleading puppy eyes that Shuri was making, she was sorry. And with that the Pizzas were finished in a few minutes.

"Fu… that was great. Though I would prefer if it was a bit more spicy." Shuri said practically having a bulging stomach. Well, she did eat two Pizzas alone.

"Now I was wondering if you could show me your new suit." Max said, dabbing his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Yeah… sure. By the way, those clothes looks dumb on you." Shuri stated.

"Excuse me, I find it rather hot. You should be melted by my charm now." Max said, puffing his c.h.e.s.t. But looking at the deadpan reaction from Shuri he changed into normal casual clothes.

"Ok, come with me." She said, half hopping her steps.

"By the way, is my fashion sense that bad?" Max asked, almost sacred to receive the answer.

"Hmm… no, but why would you dress up anyways. It looks stupid and don't feel bad my brother looks just the same." T'Challa too was wearing formal clothes, but the people of Wakanda were not too fond of this type of clothing. "But in any other circ.u.mstances with any other girl, that would have worked." Shuri said, passing through the hallway.

"Well, that's a relief. I thought my fashion sense was bad. And do you think I look plain?"

Shuri looked back, eying him. "Who could possibly find you plain. At best you could say your average."

Max's lips twitched at the comment. "No seriously."

"And why are you asking. Hope you don't go down on your knee and start proposing." Shuri said. "I am too innocent for Love."

Max was now getting irritated. "Fine don't tell."

"But why were you asking?"

"…"

"Well did someone reject you or something?" Shuri asked, Max flinched at the comment. "Oh… But if that's the case, I don't think that's because of your looks. You may not be as pretty and charming as me. But you are doable."

Before Max could answer, Shuri opened one of the room doors. Storming into the room turning the lights on. 'Well, at least I don't look plain.'

Max saw a big room, all cleared. With only a single piece of metallic capsule that stood in the middle.

"Tada… let me introduce you to the Iron-Panther." Shuri said as she pushed a button, the capsule opened revealing the Metallic suit.

"…I am sorry to say this… But, you have to work on your naming sense." Max finished.
