[Shuri is sitting on her assigned bed when she flicks on the device she'd been given. She doesn't mind sharing a room with other people but it's a first for her and she's adjusting to the change. It's a lot louder here than the palace of Wakanda and she currently has no lab to retreat to.]

This looks like it'll be my home for awhile so I thought it best to give a general hello. My name is Shuri.

[She really isn't interested in the festival that's going on but she has a few questions that can only be answered by those who have been here for awhile.] I have a few questions.

First I'd like to talk to those who work in technical fields. I'm the head of the R&D division in Wakanda and I'd like to do something similar here. [It's the best way for her to help out and no matter where Shuri is, she wants to help those around her.] I was told when I arrived that there are many labs here but I'd like to hear from you, which is the best.

I'm also looking for the Avengers. If any are listening, I believe you know my brother T'Challa, King of Wakanda. [She hasn't met many of the Avengers but she assumes that some of them are here since people are being swept away to a moon via a portal.]

Thank you for your time.

He does. The problem is he wanted all of the lions because they are the only thing strong enough to stop him. Individually one lion isn't as strong as the whole, but having one lion prevents them from forming Voltron. Black is the head lion... literally. When they form Voltron, he's the torso and head.

We also did have an issue when Black encountered Zarkon again during a battle... I guess the bond is not as easily broken. Though he'd chosen me, he kept speaking to Zarkon and Zarkon was tracking us through him.

[Shuri continues her inspection of the lion before turning to face the man. While what he says makes sense, there is something in the way he has talked about the lion and what he said now that bothers her.]

I thought you two were friends?

Why would your friend do that to you?

[She's loyal and can't understand why anyone, machine or not, would sell out their friends.]

[Shiro looked down at Black, who looked back over at him]

He was confused. He'd trusted Zarkon. They'd bonded, fought together to bring peace. I guess... the change happened quickly. If King Alfor realized what was happening and dispersed the lions quickly, he never had that connection when Zarkon changed. Zarkon couldn't find him when the chamber he was in was sealed so there was nothing to end that.

When we found out what was happening, I tried to strengthen my bond with the Black Lion. Black showed me his home world, the home world of Zarkon, showed me his past. Zarkon tried at that moment to track Black. We ended up... in some weird astral plane fighting for the Black Lion, the one who would be the paladin. Zarkon finally broke that bond in that plane, saying trust had nothing to do with it, that power was the only thing important and Black attacked Zarkon, which saved me.

The tracking stopped after that.

[Shuri listens like she's taking notes inside of her head.]

Interesting.

Would I be able to keep checking on Black Lion? I want to see how quickly he's developing and how fast he learns. [The story sounds like that of a child learning who to trust but she senses more intelligence in the lion that stands before her now.]

Sure if you'd like to. He's already started figuring things out, like the fact that he's made of metal and heavy.

[Sounds like it should be obvious, but considering that wasn't something that ever really came into play back home, realizing they could hurt someone just by leaning on them was an improvement]

If he's okay with that too of course.

[She smiles at the lion and waits for his reply too.]

I'll stop by in a week or so.

[Shuri thinks that it'd be easier if she came to him.]

[There was a moment of silence from Shiro as he looked at Black. The lion grumbled]

He's okay with it.

Sounds good. You could also meet Red. She's one of the arm lions... when they transform.

Does Red also live with you?

Yeah, Red also lives with us. She's bonded to Keith. Well... both of them are bonded with Keith at this point. I'm still trying to figure all of that out.

It sounds complicated.

[She isn't sure if he wants to talk about it or if he's just stating the awkward for her benefit.]

[It was just something that was on his mind recently. It was kind of hard to get rid of. Black grumbled at Shiro, sitting down and looking back at him]

Yeah. Sorry about that.

[He smiles again to reassure her]

So what sort of things did you make back home?

A little bit of everything.

I helped engineer a lot of the different equipment we used in my country. It all depended on what was needed at the time. I'm constantly improving things for my brother but I also work in medical equipment, communications and transportation.

[She's seriously done a little bit of everything.]

Impressive. Sounds like if they were here, you'd get along with Hunk and Pidge. Pidge is our resident tech guru; she can figure almost anything out. And Hunk is our mechanic.

With that kind of background, you could probably do just about anything. The hospitals might like someone to work on something for them.

[Shuri rolls her shoulders in a shrug.]

That's why I'm looking for where I'll be the most helpful or where I'll have the best resources.

[It isn't that she's cocky, which she is, but she's confident and she wants to help if she's going to be stuck on this moon.] Everyone says that they're area is the best, I won't believe it until I see it for myself.

Of course they all say that. It's in their nature. Like how I'd say Black is the best lion.

[Okay, Mister, you earned the lion coming over and nuzzling up against him and purring. Shiro chuckled and put his right hand, his metal hand on the side of Black's face]

I'm biased though. Or the place that claims to have the world's best pizza.

[Shrui laughs softly.]

I know. I'll figure it out. Thank you. [She pauses and turns towards the lion.] And thank you too. If either of you need me please call.

Sure thing. Maybe you can come to our place next time. Meet Red. And I'll let you know if I notice anything new about Black.

[Since she had asked]

Sounds good.

[Shuri flashes him a brief smile and then turns to go. She has some thing she wants to look up.]
