Heading for Home
Akilah held the paper in her hands, flabbergasted by the news it brought. She was being summoned back to Wakanda to attend a trial against her mother. Apparently, Ororo Munroe had attacked the Wakandan capitol relentlessly for almos two hours, destroying much of the city and killing many innocents. She couldn't believe it. She absolutely could not believe it. However, Akilah knew she had to return home as quickly as possible. She immediatly started gathering clothes and supplies for the trip home. She also intended on telling her teammates that she was leaving for awhile. However, she was not one to strike up conversation so easily. Akilah made it apparent that she was going somewhere by gathering her things at the door.

"Just a few more things to check," she muttered as she slid her things to the wall.

	And she didn't think to inform anyone of what was going on? For shame Princess, Daniel is here. He watches her curiously then frowns in concern before deciding he had to say something. "Akilah. What's wrong? You look like you're packing," Daniel points out with a look of concern. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Ah, Daniel. I am glad you are here." She pauses, trying to word ehr answer to his question correctly. "I am leaving for Wakanda, Daniel. My presence has been summoned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why? Is there something wrong," he asks with a look of concern. He cares about her deeply. He will never say he's in love because it's just opening himself up for when she'll have no choice but to choose duty. But he can easily commit himself for caring like he does. "You wouldn't be called back unless it was important." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She hesitated, not wanting to give off a sigh. But she ended up sighing anyway. The thought of the situation made her uncomfortable. "It appears that Mother has attacked and destroyed much of the Wakandan capitol city. She is to be put on trial, and I must be there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-30 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"What." His expression changes. He has not met her mother but he KNOWS her reputation. Who doesn't? "It can't be true. She's an honorable and noble woman. Do you need us to go with you? I.... I'll do whatever I can to help you. You don't have to go alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know it is not true," Akilah replied. She had been thinking about it a lot. "But that is not what the people of Wakanda saw. They saw their Queen cast lightning on their homes. They saw their Queen call the winds together to swallow them into Death's grasp."

She paused and bit her lip, unsure of what to say next. She couldn't turn him down. It was Daniel. How could she tell him to stay back while she went away into that kind of situation?

"...Then come with me, Daniel. And... I supposed the others may come. But no one must speak their minds about the situation while we are there. I do not want to aggravate the situation, and the Avengers tend to be loose-lipped."

And if anything Daniel knows how to stay tight lipped. He knows when nothing he says can do anything.

He nods. "I'll assemble the team. You can make it clear to them that speaking out in Wakanda will not help matters."

Then he gets this embarrass look on his face. "Will I be a problem? I mean. I'm white and I'm dating you. I don't want people to use that as an excuse to ignore what you have to say."

	It was a serious situation. Almost too serious, and Akilah had been very uncomfortable. Until Daniel asked that question. She couldn't help but laugh a little. "No, Daniel," she replied, "You will not be a problem because you are white. How often have you been talking with Charlie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-30 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Not often? Charlie is a cool guy and all but..." He takes his glasses off to polish them and pushes them back on. "We just don't talk that much. I'll assemble the team, Akilah." And he activates his comm. "Avengers! We have a situation! Meet Akilah and I in the lounge as soon as possible." After he is done saying that he bows and offers her his arm. "M'lady."

	James had been in the kitchen scarfing down freshly made chocolate chip cookies when the call came. He grabbed a handful and went running toward the lounge. "What's up?" he asked as he rushed into the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve had been in the gym when the call went out. One five minute shower later and he was meeting the others. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-01 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled and takes his offered arm. That's when two of the Avengers make their way to Daniel and Akilah. "I am leaving for Wakanda," she announced, "To attend a trial against my Mother for attacking Wakanda's capitol city." She gave them the explanation, if they planned on attending.

	next_avenger 2010-05-02 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"When do we leave?" James asked. Avengers always stuck together and if Storm was attacking Wakanda, something was definitely not right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-05-02 07:17 am UTC (link)
	"When Akilah is ready," Daniel replies. "I can gather up a few supplies quickly. I don't need much." He does intend to make sure to leave a message at home. He and his father have been working on staying in closer contact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-02 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Steve nodded. "Just need a minute to grab my gear and leave a couple messages for people," he said, "and I can go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-05-02 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm going to go put my uniform on and be right back," James said and then ran out of the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-02 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Akilah nodded to each of them, and then to Daniel. She didn't really have anything to say until each of them got back. All her things, she was sure, were packed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-05-04 03:13 am UTC (link)
	It didn't take James long to change and grab his shield generator. "I'm ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-04 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Steve returned moments later himself, a full quiver of arrows and extras packed as well. "All set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-05-06 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Daniel is back in uniform with a stave carved with various runes and protections. The young wizard had a bag with him too that held a few different books and some potions. He wanted to be ready. A simple cleaning spell would be cast on his clothes as needed. "Ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-06 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	Akilah opted for quick travel, and she detailed some things for the group coming with her on the mission. Her mother was facing the death penalty, being the biggest thing. She truly believed her mother was framed. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-06 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	When they arrived at the castle, Akilah showed the boys to the guest room. She had been thinking about things on the way home, and she wanted to share her thoughts with them now that they could talk in private. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-06 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Wakanda. Hadn't been there before, so new experience there. Still, between two magic users and even James super-soldierness, Steve was the weak-link on this team. Like always. And yet somehow he was supposed to hold the team together while Charlie and the others were gone? He pushed the thought aside. "So what's your take on this, Akilah?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-05-06 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	James stepped up. "We need to know exactly everything that has happened. If you have any video footage, witness reports, anything that could help, we need to see it. We know Storm is not capable of something like this and we need to find out who was responsible for it. If possible we need to do it before the trial starts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I am positive Mother has been framed, however..." She cast her gaze to the side, seeming worried. "The entire city is witness to this attack, and they all claim to have seen Mother do it. I do not know much about what footage we may have since we just arrived, but I will be checking in on any and all reports."

She paused, and looked at each of them.

"I have a strange feeling about this entire situation. Help me watch out for Mother and Father."

	"Plenty of possibilities here," Steve said. "Skrulls. Super-Adaptoid. Android. Clone. Evil alternate reality version. All of which could fool people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Goodness forbid anything be easy for a change," James grumbled. "We'll help. Avengers stick together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-05-10 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"What James said," Daniel echoes. "We do this as a team. We'll keep an eye out for every possibility. We won't fail your parents." Daniel is very serious about this. It is her family and they're important to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-10 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Steve nodded his agreement. "We've the Avengers. We take care of our own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-11 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you." She held her gaze on Daniel longer than the other two, and smiled. "You may explore throughout the city as you please. The trial begins tomorrow in the morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-05-12 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"I'm going to look around for any clues to who really did this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-12 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll go too," Steve said. "Two heads are better than one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-05-13 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll stay put," Daniel says thinking his girlfriend might like to have him near by. Sue him, he wants to be around for her. He is worried about her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-05-14 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"Alright then," Akilah said. She nodded to James and Steve. "If you find the time, speak with my mother. She is being detained in her room. I will send word to the guards that you two are permitted visitation." Then she walked by Daniel and made a move to grab his hand. This was one of those times she really needed him, and he understood that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-05-15 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks. That will help." It'd be interesting to meet a version of Azari's mom. He just wished the circumstances were better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-05-15 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"All right, Shrimp," Steve said, as he got back to his feet, "you ready to play detective?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-05-18 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Daniel takes her hand. His expression is soft really. He isn't an angry sort of person and he can show his support easily. He also wants to find out if she's okay. The wizard is very careful about these sorts of things. He wouldn't want to embarrass her. (Reply to this)(Parent)
