[ It wasn't often that a newly-arrived Shadowkind made national news. Then again, most newly-arrived Shadowkind didn't leave half a block of destruction in their wake before vanishing like they'd never been there.

...To be fair, the enforcement trying to round up this particular arrival had shot first when it was clear the man had no intention of cooperating and coming with them. The armed man reacted accordingly, but it seemed that no matter what they threw at him - which had been a squadron of enforcement officers, a veritable arsenal of containment weapons, and two armored vehicles - he wasn't going to change his mind. Staying only long enough to make sure nothing was in decent enough shape to continue pursuit, the man then vanished into the depths of the city and was still supposedly holed up somewhere within its borders.

Which is why SHIELD is here now, before anyone else could make a bigger mess of things. ]

[ By Shield they mean Steve, who has been working undercover for them since he left Europe and moved the the states about two-ish years ago. He had been preparing to head back to headquarters in Las Vegas- he’d been called back when the Knights started to move in, but this mission came in and sending Steve seemed like the most logical course of action.

Whoever this person was he was clearly enhanced and that seemed to be Steve’s specialty. He just didn’t know it was going to take him a few weeks to suss him out. This guy was good, whoever he was. All Steve has was a few grainy security photos. Long dark hair, stocky build, and a metal arm. That last one stuck out, of course it did that wasn’t something you saw everyday.

It had taken a few weeks but Steve finally managed to track him down in an old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. He’s moving through the warehouse but since I just rolled a 4 for move silently his shield catches on a stack of crates and brings them crashing down. Good job, Steve. ]

Shit.
