"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.
He...yeah. He was still getting used to the whole "people care about your wellbeing" thing that so many had tried to get him to understand, still accepting that he mattered at all in the grand scheme of things. It was hard to remember, which was why he seemed so shocked at Shuri suddenly-

"Okay, okay. I won't go kill this guy, though I really, really want to. But I won't do anything you don't want me to."
Fair enough. He'd probably act the same way if she tried to go after HYDRA cells.
