On the Quinjet Sam was piloting Rhodey, Steve, Natasha, Wanda and Vision.
"Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0. I hope you're right about this, Cap. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to." Sam said as the Quinjet passed through a force field into Wakanda.
"When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world...This is not what I imagined." Okoye said walking with T'Challa and a band of the King's Guard.
"And what did you imagine?" T'Challa asked
"The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks."
The occupants of the Quinjet descend the ramp.
"Should we bow?" Bruce asked Rhodey.
"Yeah, he's a king." Rhodey said
"Seems like I'm always thanking you for something." Steve said shaking hands with T'Challa.
Bruce bowed in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Rhodey asked.
"Uh, we don't do that here." T'Challa said and issued with a motion of his hand. "So how big of an assault can we expect?" he asked and the group started walking back the way it came to greet the guests.
"Uh, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault." Bruce said.
"How we looking?" Steve asked.
"You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..." T'Challa started.
"A semi-stable, 100-year-old man." Bucky said walking toward Steve and they hugged.
"How you been, Buck?" Steve asked.
"Uh, not bad, for the end of the world."
Later they were in Shuri's lab and Vision was laying on a table, while Bruce and Shuri stood over him, and the others watch. Shuri scanned the stone and studies the hologram.
"Whoa. The structure is polymorphic." she said.
"Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially." Bruce said.
"Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?"
"Because, we didn't think of it." he said staring for a minute.
"I'm sure you did your best." she said smiling.
"Can you do it?" Wanda asked.
"Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures." Shuri said. "It will take time, brother." she said to T'Challa.
"How long?" Steve asked.
"As long as you can give me."
"Something's entered the atmosphere." Okoye said looking at a device that just alerted her.
Outside Sam and Bucky were standing looking up a the sky.
"Hey, Cap, we got a situation here." Sam said over comm.
The defense shield around Wakanda destroyed one of the vessels entering the atmosphere.
"God, I love this place." Bucky said.
"Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome." Sam said.
"It's too late. We need to destroy the stone now." Vision said appearing beside the window with the others.
"Vision, get your *rear* back on the table." Natasha said turning towards Vision.
"We will hold them off." T'Challa said.
"Wanda, as soon as the stone's out of his head...you blow it to hell." Steve said to Wanda.
"I will." Wanda said.
"Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures." T'Challa said. "And get this man a shield." he said pointing at Steve.
