Rush - Everett Ross x Nakia Shauku

Summary: People can’t see Everett as a CIA agent. They believe him to be more of a bureaucrat. But they said the same thing about Agent Coulson. And if there’s one thing men like them love, it’s the rush that comes wth their job. 

But a different kind of rush is coming into Everett’s life. Is he ready?

“Are you sure about this, your majesty?”

T’Challa chuckled, for this seemed to be the only question his long-time friend could ask him that night. They were walking through the palace, getting ready to head to dinner between friends.

“I am sure, my friend. It is a long time this night should have happened.”

“It still feels weird. You and-”

T’Challa waved his hand. “That was years ago and you know very well I am now married to Ororo.”

The mutant as powerful as a god, Everett thought. It was hard to forget. “Still, the history-”

“Ah, there they are!” T’Challa interrupted his friend’s nerves again. If he allowed Everett to spiral down this rabbit hole again, he would talk himself right out of this night. And T’Challa and Ororo had planned too much to allow that to happen.

Everett took a deep breath and looked up to see the new Queen of Wakanda walk down the flight of stairs with Nakia at her side. And while the Queen certainly looked like a vision, Everett couldn’t take his eyes off of Nakia, wearing the same green dress from the first time he met her at that underground casino all those years ago.

Behind him, Shuri rushed by and whispered to Everett, “pick up your jaw, Colonizer.”

“Huh? Oh!” Everett quickly collected himself, but he could have sworn Nakia giggled at Shuri’s comment.

“Agent Ross, how nice of you to join us,” Nakia teased, her smile bright red against her white teeth. Everett tried so hard not to stare and in that, he missed the silent exchange between T’Challa and Ororo.

“Yes, uh, nice to see you as well.” Everett cleared his throat. “Thank you for inviting me.”

“We are always happy to have you in Wakanda,” Nakia smiled again.

T’Challa subtly nudged Everett and he quickly caught himself. He offered his arm to Nakia. “May I escort you?”

She looped her arm easily with his, “of course.”

T’Challa and Ororo hung back so they could watch their friends catch up and the chemistry unfold. Ororo smiled at her husband. 

“How did you know he would agree to this? He looks so scared of her.”

“It is the rush of something new in his life. But more than that, it is the rush of someone he likes in his life. He enjoys that feeling.”

“Do you feel once it wears off that-”

T’Challa cut her off with a shake of his head. “No, my dear. The rush will push these two together, but it is all they have in common that will keep them together.”

Nakia and Everett were so engrossed in their conversation, that they did not notice everyone around them watching as they spoke. At first, the royal court was nervous about Nakia being with someone outside of Wakanda. But when they were told what he did to save Wakanda when they all first met, the ice melted and Everett had been welcomed to Wakanda ever since.

Now they were trying to melt the ice between Nakia and Everett. No, neither were cold to each other. But neither seemed to have the courage to make the first move. And both for the same reason - T’Challa. And though he reassured them time and time again he wanted them to be happy, they still worried. So the royal court was taking matters into their own hands.

Especially Shuri.

She made sure to sit them at the end of the table next to each other, right next to herself and another family member that didn’t mind missing out on the other conversations if it meant prompting Nakia or Everett to keep their conversation going.

But it wasn’t needed this night. T’Challa had been right. Everett loved the rush, the fear of the unknown. And a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid was new for him. He had been fortunate enough to call her friend, but now he wanted something more.

So riding the rush, he took a deep breath, gently reached out to take her hand, and spoke softly - though the entire table was subtly paying attention.

“It’s been great catching up with you, as every time I visit. I was wondering, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tomorrow?”

And even though everyone kept their conversations up, they collectively held their breath.

Nakia smiled her bright smile. “I would love to, Everett.”

It didn’t matter where it would lead after that, Everett knew he would never stop feeling that rush when talking to Nakia.

Or any time she said yes to him.

Isle Royal Feldtmann loop Late July 2017 1.1 After a 15hr drive I arrived around dusk at Grand Portage. No offense to the locals but I didn’t find it to be all that grand. With only a gas station and an Indian casino I decided to head back south to Grand Maris for the night. I had made no reservations but didn’t think it would be to difficult to find cheep lodging. I was wrong. The cheapest lodging was $125 so I got a bite to eat and slept in the truck. I was up early the next morning as I had to head back to Grand Portage to catch the Sea Hunter II that would ferry me to Isle Royal where the adventure would begin. I am not new to backpacking but this would be my first solo trip and I was all nerves. I had trouble getting my dinner dow the night before. I arrived at the dock early. I began to sort my gear and do last minute gear checks. It was very overcast and spit rain occasionally. For the few minutes that my truck door was open it was full of mosquitos. That would be a theme for the trip. We eventually loaded and were of.
