    Summary

    “Jack,” he’s gray now. He wasn’t gray when they met but now his auburn brown hair has faded to almost entirely silver. She imagines it would suit him if there wasn’t so much blood in it. “to what do I owe the displeasure?”

    Maybe it’s a mean thing to say when he’s actively being loaded out of an ambulance, but Samira really cannot bring herself to care. He’s upright and breathing, so in the grand scheme of things, the situation can’t be that bad. And you’re allowed to be rude to your ex-husband—it’s one of the big perks of getting divorced before you graduate med school. It’s the participation prize of a failed marriage.

    “Hey there, gorgeous.”

    Summary

    “What do you mean I have to do therapy in order to be an Avenger? No one ever mentioned that! That was not on the paperwork!”

    “Yeah, well, you didn’t pass your psych eval, which is a real amateur move,” says Natasha, raising an unimpressed eyebrow at Yelena.

    Five times Yelena attends meetings of the new Avengers and Avengers-adjacent ex-assassin and/or unwilling science experiment support group, and one time the support group comes to her.

    Summary

    Before Shuri goes to Haiti, she first visits the Hall of Kings in the City of the Dead.

    She allows herself to be buried in earth — supine, arms crossed — like her ancestors before her. A shaman holds a bowl to her lips; she drinks again of the new heart-shaped herb, born of a flower from the sea. Lord M’Baku of the Jabari observes the proceedings in watchful silence; an honored guest.

    Shuri holds her breath and closes her eyes. Sand falls soft on her face.

    Her rage is spent. Her heart beats a tattoo in her chest in both fear and hope.

It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am The Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me, and ponder the question... What if?"

    ~~~~~~~~

    T'Challa never becomes ill. SHIELD survives. Shuri goes to assist an upstate New York outreach center and SHIELD-run research facility with their science division... and something terrible, unbeknownst to her, is happening beneath her feet.
