After the events of Adelaide, Bucky and Sam Wilson's fight against the Flag Smashers, the world was more different than ever before. As a result of Bucky Barnes releasing Baron Helmut Zemo from a Berlin prison, the Wakandans placed a temporary ban on Bucky and Adelaide returning to Wakanda.
Then Adelaide became a vampire, thanks to her multiversal doppelganger, and things changed further within the nucleus of her and Bucky's small world. Then she was possessed by the Angel of Death, shortly having it removed after the slaughter of several hundred souls. Her mother passed away after a long battle with cancer, leaving her heartbroken, but her resolve remained stronger than ever.
But now T'Challa, the King, the Black Panther, is dead, and in a show of loyalty and solidarity with the Queen Mother, Ramonda, and the young Princess Shuri, Adelaide returns to Wakanda for T'Challa's funeral. But she may just get pulled into much more than the funeral of a king - and what happens may change her journey even more.
Francesca Stark is the second child of Howard and Maria Stark. After her parents died in 1991, the 12 year old was sent away to boarding school (by Tony) until she was 18 and able to take care of herself. She has since then resented her brother for that and the many other choices he made which caused them to go their separate ways, leading very different lives. When Tony desperately needs her help, Francesca comes back but not without making her own rules. For Francesca, one rule was to be gone the moment she could, but that all changes when she meets Bucky Barnes. Will his past deter her or will the two be destined for each other?
