"Please," he says, straightening from his spot against the wall. Shuri nods.

"This way," she tells Sharon, as Bucky moves to join them. It's apparent he already knows where they're going, as Shuri leads the way through the lab and down a side hallway to a small room. Unlike SHIELD or JTTF offices, this one is set up as a combination working-and-conversation space, similarly to the one in the garden chamber, with the addition of woven hangings on the walls and a table containing a high-tech communications station.

"We could not give him a set of Kimoyo Beads," Shuri tells Sharon as she activates the comm center. It projects a holographic video display of a phone screen in the air above it. "The security risk was too great."

Bucky interjects, "Steve doesn't want any clues leading back here. And no one was sure what would happen if any of the beads went missing somehow; can't compromise Wakandan systems."

Shuri nods. "But I refuse to limit anyone to staring at a tiny screen on a phone or box." She huffs out a breath and starts typing in a code from her wrist, which projects onto the comm center in preparation for the encrypted call.

Bucky turns to Sharon. "If you're okay with letting me tell him you're here first, go stand off-screen." He nods to the side. "Or if not, stay here by me."
