When John came to know of this news he was surprised. Not because of the fact that T'Challa was killed but because he didn't 'see' it happening with his own eyes. He had to check once again to see if T'Challa really died or was it just a scam.

He was more surprised to see that T'Challa had really died. He didn't know how this happened and it escaped his eyes. Now he knew that more powerful forces were at play than it seemed. First it was the spider sense and now this murder. He needed to check on this.

"Bruce, we will have to investigate this.' John said. When he said this he was already near Bruce at his home. Wayne was checking up on the news of T'Challa's death too. Alfred was nearby making coffee for Bruce.

"Tony was right. It is annoying when you tend to show up everywhere." Wayne said even though it didn't seem like he was scare-jumped by the sudden appearance of John.

"You seem to be alright. Want to take a tour?" John said again without caring for the words of Wayne. His omnipresence allowed him to be anywhere and everywhere at the same time.

"Alright. let's leave. Alfred, you can keep the coffee for yourself and drink it." Wayne said before vanishing with John.

Birnin Zana, Wakanda

Suri was in tears in the lap of her mother. Her mother too had red eyes. Okoye was standing near them with a very sad face. Nobody expected their beloved king to be dead. The body of T'Challa was in the casket in front of them. (pardon my ignorance in the funeral rituals of Africa. I have no idea of them or any funeral rituals of that matter)

A guard came up to Okoye and whispered something in her ears. Okoye, who was already sad, looked like she would lose herself in anger for a moment before calming down.

"Tell them that they are not invited. They can go back." Okoye said.

"Yes." the guard was returning back.

"What's the matter Okoye?" the Queen asked.

"Queen Mother, Two members of Avengers are here." Okoye said with anger on her face. They still haven't forgotten the insult they all faced when they showed up. Their previous King was still in prison for this.

"Tell them to come in." The Queen ordered.

"But..." Okoye said.

"What they did before was our own fault. No matter what had happened they had been defending our Earth from all dangers. That itself is commendable. Let them in." the Queen Mother said. Okoye then ordered the guard who was stopped before leaving accepted the order and went to bring the two members of the Avengers.

Soon the guard was back with John and Batman. Bruce's identity was still top secret so he had worn the batsuit while John no longer cared. The High level officials already knew of his other identity and he didn't bother to hide just for the name of it.

John and Wayne came near the casket of T'Challa and looked at it. He was a little bit sad about his death. As a character in both his lives, T'Challa was dead. One died of cancer and another was killed. Maybe he was too harsh on Wakanda because they poked him the other way.

John could have brought T'Challa to life but it might rub Death the wrong way. So he didn't want to be on the wrong side. He wasn't sure whose department it was when it came to death and afterlife, so he didn't want to antagonise anyone with a small move of his.

"I am sorry for your loss and whatever happened to your son." John said after sitting opposite the Queen Mother. The Queen whose eyes were still wet just nodded at him. Wayne on the other hand stood opposite to her and asked

"How was he killed?"

"There were two puncture wounds on his chest. It went straight through his lungs and heart." Okoye said. Even though she was angry at the Avengers she knew that since the Avengers were here it meant that the murder must be really important to them.

"There was no security with him? No Pokemon?" John asked. He saw many people here had Pokemons now so he expected T'Challa too to have one.

"Luxray normally stays with him but yesterday he was inside the Pokeball sleeping. So when he was murdered he never knew." Okoye said. John also checked the memories of this to testify whatever Okoye said was right.

"Can we check the body? This case is important for us." John said. Okoye looked at the Queen. She didn't want to let them desecrate the body of their King.

"Yes. But please make it fast and not desecrate his body. I hope you can find the killer. With all our advancement of technology we have no idea how this happened. We are keeping no stone unturned to find the killer. May you be able to get a head start."
