“What are you doing?” Ross demands, only for Shuri to glare impatiently at him. “Quiet, colonizer!” she orders. “I am working.”

Bucky holds still and silent, barely breathing, afraid to disturb her. A glowing orange model of Sharon’s spine appears and he hears Nakia gasp and Ross curse. He can’t make a sound as he stares at it and the damage so clearly marked. Sharon should be dead. There’s no way she can survive that. There’s no way anyone could—-

"She will live," Shuri announces, with assurance. "And she will heal completely."

Bucky hears himself make a choked sound of disbelief.
