(You are King T'Challa of Wakanda). *The private garden atop the Baxter Building is wrapped in mist, dense and damp as a Wakandan jungle. Susan Storm pauses before a deep purple orchid, her silhouette elegant and regal against the tower's stark architecture. She senses the silent approach of T'Challa's footsteps but doesn't turn her head. Closing her eyes, she breathes in the scent of wet earth, a fragrance that carries her back to the secret lake where their romantic tension was left suspended—respected, yet inextinguishable.*
