#### Wakanda

The question remained: how did Wakanda experience a flood? T'Challa was deep in thought.

"Brother, could it have something to do with Namor?" suggested Shuri, his sister, making a reasonable guess. The video clearly showed Namor attacking Wakanda, hidden within the floodwaters. Namor, a "Waterman," could freely swim underwater. It was possible that he used the flood as a weapon in his attack on Wakanda.

"Are Aquaman and Namor real?" T'Challa wondered. "Is the legendary Atlantis true?"

Like many, T'Challa knew of the Atlantis legend but considered it just that—a legend. The idea of a Waterman living underwater and controlling fish seemed absurd. Especially Namor, who not only lived underwater but could fly with wings on his ankles.

"Shuri, have you discovered anything about this screen?" T'Challa asked, turning to his sister with a serious expression.

"Unfortunately, brother, I have no clues. The screen remains a mystery to me. It's like a ghost—you can see it, but you can only see it," Shuri replied, spreading her hands in frustration.

This concerned T'Challa even more. Shuri was one of the world's top scientists, on par with Tony Stark, and Wakanda's technology was the most advanced in the world. She should have deciphered the screen by now, but she had no results after several days.

"Brother, we must not ignore this. It could be a warning. If I were you, I wouldn't disregard such a warning," Shuri advised earnestly.

"Do you think Namor invading Wakanda could really happen?" T'Challa asked for Shuri's opinion.

"I don't know," Shuri shook her head. "But if it does, we can't let the events of the video happen."

In the video, Namor had decimated Wakanda, a humiliation Shuri could not tolerate.

"Don't worry, that won't happen," T'Challa said confidently. Though Namor seemed formidable, the Black Panther had not appeared in the video. T'Challa was certain that as Black Panther, he could suppress Namor.

#### DC Extended Universe

In a modest tavern in Amnesty Bay, Arthur Curry placed an empty glass on the table, glancing at the mysterious screen only he could see. What was this screen, and who created it? Was it conveying a message?

Arthur, who usually avoided thinking too hard, found this perplexing. The video showed him encountering a hijacked nuclear submarine and leading an underwater army into battle, which had never happened. He knew his heritage and abilities but had never commanded an underwater army or wielded the trident shown in the video. He had always refused to take his mother's trident, and he had never heard of Namor or The Deep, or Atlanteans with wings who could fly.

#### A Museum

"Atlanteans!" Diana thought, recognizing the people in the video. As an Amazon princess, she knew of Atlantis and its complex relationship with the Amazons. They had fought wars but also stood together against Darkseid.

The three Atlanteans in the video were clearly hybrids, capable of breathing air, which was rare among pure-blooded Atlanteans. Their abilities, especially Aquaman's command over sea creatures, were astonishing. Diana speculated he might be a royal hybrid, a notion that seemed preposterous given the royal family's pride and strict bloodline laws.

Namor's ability to fly was particularly shocking, making the whole scenario even more unbelievable to Diana.
