Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

At the meeting room inside the main building/palace.

AN: Xhosa language unless specified

There was Tony, King T'Chaka, and the Dora Milaje (DM) settling down in the main hall.

Tony: Please let only a few of your guards stay, I prefer to keep my identity a secret and I'm sure you already know that I can't hurt the Black Panther while he is still in armor.

T'Chaka nodded and only 1 guard remained. This was the head of the DM so she was the obvious choice to stay.

Tony: Now that were sort of alone.

Tony pulled of his nanites like they were a helmet. He did not want to show too much of his cards early.

When Tony got revealed his face, the other two were shocked that Tony wasn't black. (AN: Or should I say African. I'm not familiar with which words are racist I'll just change terms)

Since they saw the lip tattoo at the field, they thought he was also African. There were also not much background light around so they were not able to see Tony's skin when the mouth part of his mask was retracted.

T'Chaka waved at his guard to put her weapon down. The kid did not pose any threat, just that he was of different skin color.

The king also recognized the kid. A genius that could build his own circuit board recently. Howard Stark was one of the persons Wakanda's spy network was watching. The guy was one of the key persons in finishing the recent world war.

He was suspecting the kid was from the royal lineage since he read the tattoo. That looked like his brother's so he thought that he was from his brother.

Now he was sure that the kid was not royalty. There was a chance that his brother had a son with an outsider. But Tony won't be one of them.

T'Chaka: Now what is the child genius Tony Stark doing all the way here in Wakanda. I don't seem to remember doing anything to invite such an important person to our country.

Tony: Let's just stop the mind games, I know you know that I was in Tunisia as well as your spy network. I can't talk about my current circ.u.mstances so you just have to trust me.

T'Chaka: And where am I supposed to get the foundation for me to trust you?

Tony: You can do one of your rituals and talk to Bast. Your god should be able to explain my situation.

T'Chaka: We have yet to communicate to Bast when we go to the ancestral plane. The ones we can communicate with are our ancestors. And why do you speak as if you have already know he will respond.

Tony: Just do it, something tells me that that god will communicate with you. I have that sort of effect on gods.

T'Chaka: It will still take some time, what do you supposed I would do to you while we are preparing?

Tony:" Time? Just eat one of your fruits and you're good to go there. I mean you already have the powers of the Black Panther so eating another one of those would not hurt right?

Plus this one's on me, I'm sure that god of yours won't punish you for not doing the full ceremony.

"

T'Chaka: That is NOT a fruit it is an herb. You seem to know a lot about Wakanda, but I suppose you have a point. With your knowledge of Wakanda I could only rely on Bast for guidance. Very well, I need you to go to a room and not leave until everything is completed.

Tony: Hey as long as there's TV with shows I like and food you can leave me there for a day. Any more and I would be bored and I might just slip out to see the what Wakanda could offer.

Next day in the middle of the ritual

There were only a few present in the ritual. The Dora Milaje, and the king's adviser Zuri.

So far everything was going well. The king was just getting buried.

---

The king regained conciousness. He was supposed to go to the ancestral plane but he clearly didn't recognize the place he was in.

He then heard a long sigh that sounded like it came from a big cat.

Bast: Haaaaaaaaa. So my child, it seems the traveler has finally visited the kingdom.

T'Chaka: Yes Bast, I mean lord Bast.

The current black panther was not sure how to talk to his god. There wasn't exactly any deity communication classes in black panther training or protocols left behind by the first black panther on what to call their god.

They also developed the habit of speaking his name the same way outsiders did their god. He just did not expect to be talking with Bast until after he died.

Bast was getting annoyed. He liked his rest and T'Chaka was disturbing it. (AN: Basically a house cat that doesn't need to eat. Since you're not his master then the cat gets cranky easily)

That guy told Bast and everyone else at the god level about the kid. They did not need to take care of the kid if they don't want to. Just don't let the kid die too early. That would defeat the purpose of the kid being entertainment.

Bast: "I am aware of your situation. Just listen and get out right after.

First, don't make enemies with the kid. He might not be strong now but he has great potential.

Second, You used up your visit with me. Decide on your own for other problems.

Last, I don't care what the kid does. He can do anything as long as he doesn't affect the people's belief in me.

Now go away I would like to return to my rest.

"

T'chaka felt the irritation of Bast. He said his thanks and made went to the opposite direction from Bast.

T'chaka didn't really know how to exit so he just aimlessly walked until his consciousness returned to his body.

Bast went and laid on one of the comfortable looking branches of a tree near a pond. He started to have a cat nap while the water's surface showed a scene of Wakanda.

He liked his rest but he also watched what will happen to Wakanda. He had to take a break from his rest every now and then and watching entertainment was an activity he could do on breaks.

-----

Since Bast did not have any objections with the kid, T'chaka decided to just treat the kid like a part of the royal family. He is always the last among the successor lineup but he would gain access to vibranium like any other prince.

T'chaka actually misunderstood Bast warning to not make enemies with Tony with treat him as part of the royal family. Bast did not tell him that they could trust Tony but Bast did not care either way.

Now, as the the a possible next generation black panther, he will need to test Tony for his capabilities like any other successor option.
