Wandering- chapter 1

Shuri woke up to the beeping of the alarm clock as she groggily blinked. for the past month she was having recurring dreams of a man's face. His eyes blazing emerald with flecks of brown. His almond shaped eyes would blink at her as she could hear muffled voices. Brown hair, that had natural blonde and red highlights, which would fall in waves that perfectly framed his face. she always smelled peppermint and lavender during the dreams as it seemed to waft from the man. 
Present Day:
She maneuvered the small aircraft around a ravine in the middle of the forest. Swerving to miss a plasma blast aimed at them, Rocket hit the window with a grunt. "Sorry! I had t-" she said as he slowly slid down the window. She looked away willing herself not to laugh as he grumbled back to his seat by the cannon controls that he was trying to fix. The controls had been fried by Thor when he missed the little flying balls made of alien metal. The god himself was pouting in the seat closest to the corner. "Princess, pay attention to getting us to the port by your garden and stop peeking at Meathead," the racoon had a habit of calling Thor muscle themed names. Shuri whipped her head around quick enough to see the blast traveling to wing propellor. Barely avoiding the blast, she mental cursed at the ones above. She did not want to be stuck in the jungle with these two beings. "I can't believe you fried this, you can shoot more than one time. That is if you can count." Rocket had muttered the last part under his breath. Unfortunately, Thor had heard him. He started booming at him that he couldn't press the buttons because they were too small. Thor grumbled about how the rabbit could go eat a carrot. With them bickering in the back, she had tilted to the left to avoid the tiny ball thing on the right while barely missing the trees on the left. As the bickering became louder as a pond big enough to be mistaken as a lake had appeared. As they neared the pond a shadow four times bigger loomed over them. The aircraft above suddenly started firing at them and the next thing Shuri knew their aircraft connected with the pond.
She broke above the water while frantically looking for the two buffoons. Thor was sitting on top of the ship roaring at the water logged racoon who was clinging to the side. 
Shuri swam to side of the pond by a big rock. She sat on the rock and started to wring out her skirt to the simple Wakandian dress she wore. She only stopped when she heard yells from the woods surrounding them.
Readers POV:
You had gracefully ran through the woods fast enough for the god of mischief to start lag a few meters behind. A ship had crashed on their patrol and you wanted to check it out if it weren't for the village girls flocking you would have been there faster.
