"Come in, Arson," Sam Wilson's voice rang out in her ear, her eyes rolling at that name. Following the events of the Sokovia Accords and the battle that took place in the Berlin airport, the media had finally gave Marci her own vigilante identity, Arson. It made her sound like a criminal, more than she actually was, and she hated it.

"Sam," she huffed, throwing a slight glare in the direction she knew he was watching her from, "I swear to God, I'll set you on fire if you keep calling me that," she mumbled quietly, not wanting to draw any unwanted attention to herself. She stood alone, in a dark alleyway awaiting a meeting with a black market weapons dealer. Over the past few months Sam, Marci, and Steve have continued to rid the world of evil, one piece of trash human at a time. The rogue Avengers no longer took orders from the government so they were able to conduct missions they deemed important, on their own time and with any means and methods they found necessary. Although they were still fugitives in the eyes of the United States government, hiding in plain sight was becoming a second nature for the trio.

Marci was leaning her back against a brick wall of an old abandoned building in the South of Spain. Her fingers playing with the bracelet that laid gently across her wrist, composed of dainty vibranium balls that held incredible technology. Kimoyo beads, are what Shuri called them when she had given Marci the bracelet.

During the few days Marci remained in Wakanda following Bucky going back into a cryogenic state, she had met the young Princess of Wakanda. The young woman was immediately fascinated by Marci's capabilities while Marci was amazed by Shuri's intelligence. The two bonded quickly, finding a variety of similarities between the two and to no surprise formed a friendship. Shuri didn't make the decision to give Marci her own set of kimoyo beads without careful consideration, but after hearing the profound love the older woman felt for Sargent James Barnes, she knew it was the best way to both keep Marci safe and contact her quickly.

Aside from keeping in contact with Shuri for purely Bucky's sake, Shuri also took advantage of Marci and her friends particular skill set. The newly crowned King of Wakanda, T'Challa, took a large risk helping Bucky and hiding him in his country. Marci felt forever indebted to him for his kindness, so when he called and asked for a favor, she quickly obliged.

Apparently they had heard of someone trying to sell a rather large amount of vibranium on the black market in the area Marci had last told Shuri they had been residing in. Thankfully for the Wakandan siblings, the trio was still in the area and were more than glad to help out.

So here she was, dressed in all black patiently waiting for their unsuspecting criminal to show up so they could return the vibranium to its rightful owner.

"I've got three unmarked black sedans entering the area," Marci felt her heart rate begin to increase at Sam's words, it was go time.

"Remember, once you make the exchange, then we'll come in," Steve's voice echoed in her ears, reminding her of the plan they had been discussing for days.

Marci nodded, "Got it," she said quietly, unsure if she was trying to reassure herself or Steve more. The steady hum of engines accompanied by the soft crunch of tires on pavement ran its way through her ears signaling that the dealers had arrived. Marci stepped out from the shadows, standing tall as the vehicles came to a stop in front of her. Almost as soon as the cars came to a halt, multiple men began to emerge from within. Marci eyed them carefully, immediately taking notice to the heavy artillery they were armed with. She slowly harshly, hoping that everything would go according to plan.

Being an enhanced vigilante wasn't easy, when your powers would be a dead give away of your current location. She knew that if, that when, the fight broke out, she was down her best defense.
