You Could Make a Case for That

I think the members of Team Cap would have enough spy training from Clint and Natasha to make it on their own, but this theory is certainly possible. And it definitely furthers the idea that no one really finds Tony trustworthy.

Shuri didn't actually KNOW any of Captain Rogers' companions. She'd only met Rogers himself and his friend Barnes. Both men had been in pretty bad shape when they showed up in Wakanda.

Shuri shuddered as she pictured the famous Iron Man armor doing the damage she saw on the men's clothing and bodies. She was glad her brother had realized his error before HE was the one to injure Barnes so badly.

Rogers had come to thank her for her willingness to work on removing Barnes' triggers. He was so sad and earnest that she'd added him to her list of broken white boys she didn't mind meeting.

He'd also looked a little incomplete without his shield. She might have to do something about that.

But for now, Shuri was keeping quiet tabs on the captain and his crew as he sprung them from some underwater prison that wasn't even on the map. Shuri felt like she might have to do something about that, too. Until then, she was helping erase the fugitives' presence on security cameras and in other systems.

Strangely, it seemed like someone else was doing that as well. Shuri made sure her tracks were covered, then sent an anonymous note to the other internet do-gooder.

The response was a request to chat. Shuri shrugged and opened up a window.

She typed, "Hey, I think we're doing the same work here."

X replied, "It would seem we are both interested in protecting the fugitives from the Sokovia Accords."

Shuri nodded to herself and typed, "I saw the damage done when someone abuses their power firsthand."

She knew that Stark didn't get permission to be in Siberia. And NOBODY had permission to cut someone's arm off, even if it was metal.

X typed back, "I...know what that entails as well. I also saw how desperate someone can become to escape the Accords."

Shuri smiled and typed, "Well it's good to know that I'm not alone in the good fight. You want to split up the workload? Or set up private line in case there's an emergency?"

X replied, "I must tell you that I know who you are, your highness. I believe it only fair to reveal myself as well. I am the Vision."

While Shuri blinked in shock, Vision continued, "If you no longer want to associate with me, I will understand."

Shuri typed back, "No, it's okay, just a lot of OMG in my head right now. Maybe we can do face-to-face? Just two people chatting, nothing to do with our...extracurricular activities."

Vision typed, "I would like that very much indeed. :)"

The connection between Shuri and Vision caused some shifts in this universe's fate. Shuri ended up asking T'Challa to invite all of Team Cap to visit Wakanda, and included Vision in the invitation. So Wanda and Vision fell in love in Wakanda, and Shuri had a chance to map Vision's brain (out of curiosity) before the Obsidian Order arrived on Earth.

Vision didn't get injured when the others took out Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian. But the team decided to remove the Mind Stone and destroy it, just in case. Shuri prepared a vibranium power cell shaped the same for Vision. When the swap was made, Vision lost his phasing abilities, but kept his other powers and luckily, all of his personality and emotions.

Wanda destroyed the Mind Stone, but they created a fake stone--and a fake hologram of Vision--to distract Thanos.

The team came together with the Black Panther and the Wakandan warriors to take on Thanos. Wanda and half the team kept Thanos pinned while the others removed the gauntlet and Vision cut it in half. After they had the rest of the stones, Wanda revealed that the Mind Stone was blasted to atoms.

Thanos roared in fury at forever being denied his chance to remake the universe. He charged at Wanda just as Thor, Groot, and Rocket arrived. Thor immediately stepped between Wanda and Thanos and swung.

This time he went for the head.

With Thanos dead, the rest of his followers retreated and left for a safer planet.

When the Guardians arrived with their passengers, they immediately got a call from Rocket. They were told to "drop the tin man as soon as you can, then call back."

They also left Peter off in his neighborhood, because he was worried about his Aunt May and her reaction to seeing him disappear aboard an alien ship.

Dr. Strange accompanied the Guardians to Wakanda. He was thrilled to get the Time Stone back. And a little smug, because this Dr. Strange KNEW this would happen.

The Guardians mourned the loss of Gamora, but they were grateful that the universe was saved. They stayed a few weeks to attend Wanda and Vision's wedding.

Shuri stood up with Vision as his Best Woman, while Wanda chose Steve Rogers to be her Man of Honor. Clint Barton was the officiant, while Natasha Romanov revealed a surprisingly beautiful singing voice as she serenaded Wanda and Vision as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Sam glided overhead scattering flower petals. Colonel James Rhodes had the most unusual wedding gift--the news that the Sokovia Accords would soon be abolished.

It wasn't anything like a Wakandan ceremony, but Shuri thought it was a good omen for the universe's future.
