Impindezelo - Retribution or Vengeance (Xhosa)
“Come on,” she hears him taunt just as she stumbles into the water. She doesn’t need to look back to know he’s on the beach now too. “You’re a coward! Just like your daddy. I gave you a chance, cous'. To join me. But you threw it in my face, just like your brother! Just like your mother! At least they had the guts to fight me and lose with their dignity. What are you gonna do? Fucking drown yourself? So much for being the greatest mind since Tony Stark. You’re weak!”
She doesn't tell him that she doesn't intend to drown herself.
Shuri is waist deep in the water now and she releases a ragged cry as the salt water lashes and burns her wounds. Still, she finds the courage to turn and face her cousin. She has to look into his eyes one last time. She needs him to remember the face of the woman who would return to destroy him.
When Killmonger succeeds in taking over Wakanda, Shuri receives help from the unlikeliest of allies as she embarks on a journey of vengeance and retribution.
