Marvel Rising: Operation Shuri

Walloping walnuts, America! Again?

I got to make some upgrades to this thing

so it can handle all your star-punching.

It works out. We need a break anyway.

Let's get some snacks.

Did you have a good training session?

Ooh, ooh, it's Captain Marvel!

Remain calm, everybody. Remain calm.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything,

but I have an important mission that couldn't wait.

Oh, yeah.

Mission time!

What villainy are we taking on this time, Captain?

Well, there won't be any takedowns necessary.

-This mission is... -(WHIRRING)

Unique.

Everyone, meet Shuri...

Princess of Wakanda.

Thank you. I've got it from here.

Shuri is the lead innovator of Wakandan technology

and is on a mission to share that tech with the world.

Her brother, Black Panther, agrees with me

that you could learn a lot from each other.

Hey. I'm really excited to be here.

Be sure to show Shuri what you guys do best.

Now if you'll excuse me, I got space drama to deal with.

-I'll see you in a few days. -Bye, Captain! Love you!

I mean... yes, ma'am.

Ugh.

Did she just say "a few days"?

You're Ms. Marvel, right?

And you're Squirrel Girl,

Ghost-Spider, and America Chavez.

I-I've done a bit of research.

Wow. Uh, Your Majesty, this is...

Please, you can call me just Shuri.

Now that we're all introduced, when can we begin?

Uh...

I want to see your team in action.

Imagine integrating Wakandan tech with your power sets.

Oh, there's so many possibilities!

We kind of only go out if there's an emergency.

Yeah, otherwise we just, uh...

Well...

See, we train a lot.

Oh.

Snacks!

Um, please excuse us.

We need to get snacks right now

f-for you.

-(GIGGLES) -Uh, uh, hello?

Ow!

I'm confused. Our mission is to babysit her?

More like befriend her. Am I right?

Befriend her? I don't even know how to talk to her.

What if there's an actual emergency?

Is she gonna come and watch us?

I can't handle a royal audience.

Brother, I've made the journey safely,

but the superheroes I'm with don't seem very active.

Look, we can handle this.

How? We get her some vegan doughnuts?

What if she hates vegan doughnuts?

We can't risk it until I do some research right now.

Oh, oh, oh, I'll show Shuri my force-field tech.

Just have to go finish it.

Oh, uh, webs.

My dad just texted me.

He needs me to, uh, leave...

Right now.

I got to go work upstairs.

Come if you want.

Your workspace is right above your secret headquarters?

How convenient.

A combustion engine.

How fascinating.

Don't touch that.

-Ooh, sorry. -(HOOD SLAMS)

America, is that you?

Who else would it be, Wilson?

Very funny.

You better not be working on that bike.

I don't pay you to fix your own stuff.

Your boss seems nice.

Hmm. Odd.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Just scanning your bike.

You can fly, yet your bike cannot.

I could help enhance it with some hover tech...

Look, some things don't need enhancing,

like the cars that come in here, they're classics.

My job isn't to change them.

I restore them back to their former glory.

They don't need to be anything other than what they are.

America, who are you talking to?

Hey, you want to let me get back to work or what?

Ugh.

-(WHIRRING) -(ENGINE TURNING OVER)

I have restored your motorbike.

In the two seconds I looked away?

I've been working on that hydraulic clutch for weeks.

I've had nightmares, and you just...

Hey, America, don't forget to disassemble the '59's carburetor!

I can do it.

Remember, what we're about to face, it's relentless.

-(GRUNTS) -It's overwhelming.

It's a struggle just to survive.

Whatever it is, I'm ready.

Hmm...

Come on. We're gonna be late.

Huh?

I thought you said we were going somewhere dangerous.

Oh, this is danger... (GASPS)

Let me help.

The American high school you've seen in the movies?

Yeah, it's not the same as the real deal.

So far, it appears very similar.

Well, maybe, but every day,

you're testing your intellectual strengths.

And if that weren't stressful enough,

you're also navigating social cliques,

just trying not to make a fool of yourself... (GROANS)

You should work on navigating around lockers, Kamala.

Oh, Zoe,

this is Princess Shuri of the Five Tribes of Wakanda.

Hello.

Youngest of King T'Chaka,

second in line for the throne,

chief engineer and innovator of...

I know who she is. I don't live under a rock.

Right, well, this is Zoe Zimmer of Jersey City,

only child to Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer?

She gets it, Kamala.

Look, I don't know how this happened,

but good luck showing around a princess.

You're off to a great start.

It's all right, Kamala.

I've met other royalty that act just like her,

lots of noise but little bite.

She's not trying to bite you.

We're late for class!

-(GRUNTING) -One, two, three, four!

Crash down on the world

Drown it like a tidal wave

There's no stopping a girl

Who hits you like a hurricane

On the edge, letting loose

Shake the ground with my moves

Got a voice that'll make you shatter

I'm a natural at being a natural disaster

I usually sit with Bruno,

but he's out of town with family.

What about over there?

Oh, no, those are the drama kids.

They'd yell Shakespeare at us until we left.

-How about there? -Those are the jocks.

Don't sit there unless you wanna hear about

the quarterback's latest free throw or something.

Then we will have to sit with Zoe Zimmer.

What? No, uh, we can't.

You do not need to fear Zoe, Kamala.

She's just a person, the same as you.

Totally.

Yeah, I know. I feel the same way.

What is she... No way!

Are you kidding me?

It was great to meet you too.

You were right, Kamala.

American high school is not like the movies.

It's way better.

Yeah, but you were also great

at everything.

Is there anything you can't do, Shuri?

I suppose... That.

I've never tried that before.

Whoo-hoo!

Come on, Kamala!

Coming.

-Whoa! (GRUNTS) -(GRUNTS)

-(GROANS) -Kamala, are you okay?

Hmm, let's see.

Okay.

Almost got it.

Got what? -(GASPS)

Shuri!

Wow.

You're really enthusiastic.

It's not every day I get to hang out with a princess.

And as a princess, I don't usually receive such

displays of affection.

Oh, man, well, maybe we could...

Hey!

Ah, this is so cool!

You're really here and I'm really here.

Oh, I have so many questions.

What's the power source for your wrist thingy?
