The flush was creeping up his neck again — at this rate he wouldn’t have to actually tell anyone about him and Tony, they would all just know from a single look. But he shook off the (shame? embarrassment?) whatever this feeling was, and refocused on the task at hand. The Sentinels. “I know you didn’t,” he said quickly. “They would’ve had a much sleeker design.” He tapped a finger against his leg. “Weaknesses. I’m looking for tactical advantages, some way to bring them down.”

Shuri hadn’t been sure until that exact moment, seeing the flush on Steve’s neck. Oh, she’d been fairly certain, but that was just the icing on the cake. Good to know. There was no issue as far as she was concerned, so she just smirked and shrugged it off. “Thank you. Someone understands me,” she replied as Steve commented on the design. But his question made her pause. She knew enough about this world to know why Steve wanted it. But she also knew enough about her own world to trust Steve Rogers, on this world or another. “Okay. I will see what I can find.”

CIRCE: Would you rather be loved or feared?

“What makes you think I cannot be both?”

...

“Loved. Because if I am loved, then I have succeeded in improving people’s lives. I don’t want to be feared. What good is people’s fear? It does not help me, and it hurts them. Fear holds people back from innovation, from moving forward. I would pick love.”

Would you ever want to be Wakanda's leader?

"I don't want to be the Queen. For one thing, my brother would have to die. For another... I'm not best suited to that. I'd do it for my country, but I don't wish for it."

Steve smirked lightly at Shuri. She was very much like another genius he knew. “From Tony?” he echoed. “That’s… a base I have covered,” he decided on after a stuttering moment. He cleared his throat. “I was actually wondering if you knew anything about how these Sentinels work.”

Shuri’s smirk only increased as Steve stuttered over how to phrase his answer. “I’m sure you do have it covered,” she replied with a raised eyebrow. But her amusement dipped quickly, tilting her head inquisitively at his request. “The Sentinels? I didn’t develop them. What do you want to know?”

@spangleddumbass said: ❛ i’ll owe you a favour. ❜

Shuri barely glanced up at that. “Yup,” she replied with a pop of the ‘p’. “But you need my help.” She leant against her bench, tilting her head curiously at Steve. “So... what do you need me to get from Tony?”

@futzthis said: ❛ hey uh… if i get hit by a bus, where’s the closest hospital? ❜

Shuri raised a suspicious eyebrow. “I don’t know,” she replied, honestly. “I’m pretty new to New York.” And this universe, but it seemed pretty similar. “Do you plan to get hit by a bus? Or something else?” Call it a hunch, call it instincts, but Shuri was beginning to recognise some kinds of heroes when she saw them.

@twentyninetynines said: ❛ you seem pretty tense. ❜

Shuri was sure she seemed tense. And in a way, she was. But not because she was angry or frustrated. Well, not just that. She ignored Miguel for a good few moments, continuing to work on what was in front of her before finally throwing down her pencil. “I’m not tense. I’m just... homesick.”

He frowned. Shuri was supposed to be the one person who didn’t question the self-deprecating humor, the performative longing for death. Maybe it was less of a joke today than usual; maybe it had been an impossible week, but she was supposed to get it. (Or at least put up with it, one nihilistic, self-loathing twenty-something to another.) Peter hadn’t expected her to call him out on his bullshit, not this quickly.

“So what if I did?” he said. “It won a Pulitzer, it counts.”

“It counts if your name is Lin-Manuel Miranda. Not Peter Parker. And don’t give me anything about ‘oh in this universe’, I know I’m right in every universe,” Shuri shot back, giving him a light shove in the arm. “So dramatic.” Maybe it had been a bit too quick to call Peter on his bullshit, but Shuri could make it up to him with distractions. “You want to see what I’m working on? Y’know, instead of...” --she gestured vaguely-- “everything else?”
