"He's been around since the Mayan civilization". Shuri mentioned, now cringing more. "Some kind of plant his mother took when she was pregnant with him mutated his DNA. He has wings on his ankles and longevity".

The look on his face says it all, a disgusted look as he finishes swallowing the bite of food he had put in his mouth almost moments before. "Worse than I thought, huh. Gross. I've killed men like that for less."
Not even gonna think about the wings or whatever, that wasn't important.
"And he won't take no for an answer". Shuri admitted, now curling up on the couch. "Anytime I'm near the water, I just know he'll be there, staring at me from out of sight".
That...yeah. that unsettled Bucky just a bit. He didn't talk about the things he had been through much, but a part of his brain just...clicked the pieces together, and he knew what he needed to do. Shuri would be safe, that he would make sure of.
"Note taken: kill water god. Easy enough."
Shuri flinched. "No. If you do, then his people would declare war on Wakanda. I do not want anyone else to die to his people. I lost my mother because of him".
"He doesn't need to know Wakanda has any involvement. People know of the Winter Soldier, not much of me."
He's a stubborn old soul, really.
"People assume me to be a killer for no good reason. They don't need to know why I do what I do."
Shuri sighed, finally giving the real reason. "I don't want to lose you Bucky. Namor nearly killed me with a spear before I managed to best him. Please don't do this". Tears filled her eyes again and she flung herself at him, hugging him tight.
