Rescue of Nakia

"Don't freeze." "I never freeze."

- Okoye and Black Panther

The Rescue of Nakia is a successful operation from the Black Panther and Okoye, in order to help Nakia and from terrorists.

Background
Returning home to Wakanda a week after his father's death, T'Challa and Okoye first fly to the Sambisa Forest in Nigeria, hoping to extract Wakandan spy Nakia from her undercover assignment with held captive by terrorists. Okoye reminds T'Challa not to freeze when he sees Nakia, teasing him about his love for her.

Rescue
T'Challa drops from the jet, throwing EMP Beads, which attach themselves to the terrorists' cars and disable them. T'Challa then hides in a tree as the terrorists get out of their vehicles.

Leaping from his hiding spot, T'Challa engages the terrorists, the Panther Habit absorbing all their fire. He takes them out with ease, and Nakia steps out to help in the fight. She prevents T'Challa from killing one of the men, who had been forced to join the terrorists against his will. T'Challa loses focus at seeing his ex-girlfriend again, and a terrorist takes advantage of the moment, threatening to shoot one of the girls if T'Challa moves. Okoye, however, takes out the final man, having expected T'Challa to freeze and dropped down herself to help.

Nakia is frustrated at T'Challa for ruining her assignment, but he informs her of his father's death and the fact that he will be crowned tomorrow, and wanted her to be there. Okoye, meanwhile, frees the Chibok girls.

Aftermath
In the morning dawns in Wakanda, Okoye pilots home as the jet passes through Wakanda's protective dome, and T'Challa returns home to his kingdom. The Dora Milaje, an army of women bodyguards who are loyal to the king and led by Okoye, stand to attention at their new king's arrival. T'Challa then reunites with his mother, Ramonda, and teenage sister, Shuri, for the first time since T'Chaka's death.
