December Year 2

The Black Panther awakes to find himself in a cell with no doors or windows and no memory of what he was doing or where he was at a few hours ago.

Black Panther: Uuugh, where am I, how did I get here?

The Black Panther begins to look for a way out but is not making any progress. He try's to think of how he got here but his head hurts too much. All of a sudden he hears a noise coming from one of the walls. The shape of a door appears and when it opens a Kree solider comes through.

Kree solider: get up you pathetic excuse for a warrior. (he slaps him) I was told to bring you to the General, I suggest you use your manners.

The Black Panther remains silent, knowing now how he got here, and secretley planning his escape.

Kree General: Ah, the Black Panther, long time ally and former member of the Avengers. I trust you still remain in contact with your friends?

BP: Yes I do. What's it to you?

Kree Gen: REVENGE!! (he kicks BP over) Revenge on the Avengers, and this pitiful planet Earth. I have waited a long time for this chance and now nothing can stop me.

BP: What do you need me for?

Kree Gen: For contacting the Avengers ofcourse. Once they find out that you have been captured and what we plan to do they will surely come to you aid and find themselves in a situation that not even they can escape.

BP: What do you mean?

Kree Gen: You will find out in due time. Now contact the Avengers over their private line.

BP: What if I refuse? What will you do then?

Kree Gen: I will destroy the Earth.

The Black Panther thinks about what he should do, should he contact the Avengers and risk their lives in a fight with the Kree , or should he risk the lives of every person on Earth.(He doesn't know that the Kree will destroy the Earth anyway) The decision is simple, he will contact the Avengers. He trusts the Avengers in a fight and he know this is what they would want him to do.

BP: I will call the Avengers, but be sure they will come for a fight and will not give in to you no matter what.

Kree Gen: That is exactly what I am hoping for.

BP: Jarvis, Jarvis, this is T'Challa! This is an emergency, I need to speak with Captain America.

Jarvis: Jarvis here, Captain America isn't in but I'll get master Pym.

Hank Pym: Pym here, what is it T'Challa?

BP: The Kree are threatening to destroy the earth and they will if you do not come here to Wakanda to fight them.

Pym: What! Are you hurt? Are you in danger?

BP: No, I'm not hurt, just a slight headache but they do have me prisoner.

Pym: Don't worry T'Challa we will be there shortly.

BP: I'm counting on it.

Kree Gen: Ha, it's almost too easy. Now I must make arrangement for our coming guests. Take this wannabe Avenger out and execute him.

Kree: Yes sir!

Under their leaders orders two Kree soldiers escort T'Challa outside to kill him. T'Challa, sensing he has an advantage breaks loose and renders the guards unconscious. He escapes without anyone knowing it......yet.

To be continued.
