SABLE | MCU

Six months had passed since the Blip, when half of humanity returned after five long years of absence. Nations struggled to recover, governments stumbled to restore order, and people everywhere searched for their place in a world that no longer felt the same.

For five years, borders had softened, governments had loosened their grip, and people learned to share what little they had. It wasn't perfect, but it was fair in a way the old world had never been. Then the vanished returned, and with them came the old rules, the borders, the corruption, and the displacement of millions.

To Karli, the Global Repatriation Council wasn't restoring order - it was destroying the fragile unity people had built. Families were torn from the homes they had lived in for years, entire communities were labeled as "refugees" overnight, and the powerful pretended it was all necessary for the greater good.

Her answer was simple: resist. The Flag Smashers were born from that conviction, carrying the cry "One world, one people." Karli no longer believed in waiting for governments to do the right thing. If no one would listen, she would force them to.

And in that world of injustice and fear of existence, there were others who moved unseen. One of them was a Madripoorian assassin, her path shaped by orders and survival. Allegiance, Patriotism and Morals. The loyalty of a criminal mercenary is rarely shaped by any of that - it's transactional. Yet somehow, the assasins hunt would place her on the same trail as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, chasing the girl who had not only stolen from the people she worked for but was threatening to take down the goverment to get justice for the people who were overlooked.
