Peter rode in a shield car along with Fury in the back. Rhodey had suited up as war machine and along with Falcon were providing air support to Power man on the ground in Harlem. Peter worked on a Stark tablet that was linked to shield in real time. Peter: it isn't in "fake time"! Ha!

Falcon had deployed his red wing drones over a certain target zone. They were getting intel in real time and sending it back to shield. Friday was then sending it to Peter's devices. Fury "Anything?" "Falcon is picking up some strange energy discharges via his drones." "Let me see." Fury looked over Peter's tablet data. "Wakandan?" "The kinetic discharges are indicative of vibranium." Nerd speak for likely.

Fury didn't like the sound of that. "Wakandan tech outstrips our own. If just one of those damn things goes off..."

Yeah. My town becomes a huge pothole... Insight came to the new chief operations officer of Stark industries. "Maybe these aren't just exiled spies with shaky legs..." "Go on." "What if these are just more of Killmonger's operatives?" Fury pondered that. "I mean think about it: he never agreed to anything with us. He just made demands and statements. How do we know he's not launching another offensive somehow?"

Fury exhaled at that. "Fury to power man." "I copy you fury." "Status?" "Still doing some surveillance on a Jamaican gang across the street." "The targets you suspected of moving Wakandan tech?" "I don't know if it's Wakandan but I've never seen anything like it before." Peter whispered "It likely is Wakandan then."

"Can you engage them?" "I could; but I don't know what we're up against here." Luke would be okay in most cases given his abilities that Peter was familiar with. It was the area around any potential detonation that Peter was concerned about.

Peter shook his head. "This doesn't make any sense. Killonger's MO was all about liberating diaspora blacks everywhere and bringing them back home to the motherland. How does this accomplish that?"

"You're right. It doesn't. It's a trick."

Peter's eyes narrowed as he looked over the tablet again. "Or a diversion..." "For what?" "I'm not sure."

Friday "boss; mister Stark's signal has gone dead." "What?" "It just stopped." "What about Teresa?" "Mister Stark Ms. Parker and the entire security detail around him have all gone silent." "Jammed?" "No sir. Just gone." "Show me." Friday showed Peter the signal wavelengths. They were strong then just went dead, as she'd said.

Fury "Killmonger." Peter could only nod. Fury got on comms and gave more orders. Peter pondered over a new choice. He knew what it meant but he couldn't deny what was now happening. During his height as his now extinct alter ego he'd been dubbed by the daily bugle as the "acrobatic improviser." He'd always liked that designation. Acrobatic now? Not so much. Improviser? Well...

He made another choice. Perhaps a fateful one. But his sister was still out there. He couldn't stand by and do nothing after suffering so much to get her back. I won't!

Fury was distracted. Shield was distracted. Peter sighed; then sent out a sophisticated text command series to Friday. Friday responded, are you sure? Yes. Yes sir.

He then tracked it. The signal came in hot and fast. He checked the car door on his side. It was locked. That wouldn't be a problem.

The seconds ticked down... Now or never. "Peter..." Fury started to say but was stopped as the car door on Peter's side remotely unlocked. Peter then opened the door and threw himself out... "What the?" Then Fury saw it. The iron spider armor now flew beside the shield car; nano formed around Peter. "Peter!" "Sorry Fury. This is my sister." "Parker! Get back in here!"

No can do sir. I'm now also the acting CEO of Stark industries... "Parker!" "Friday: punch it." "Yes sir." Peter shot up and away into the sky as she put extra power to the repulsors.

"Get me a dedicated channel to Rhodey." "Copy. Done." "Rhodey?" "Peter? What's happening?" "Tony's comms are down. I'm in the suit. I'm coming fast to you. We need to get to Tony asap." "Flying fast for you now man."

Shortly later war machine and iron spider were flying together. "Killmonger?" "It's a good bet. It's another hit. My gut says Tony is the target." Makes sense. He's running for mayor. And of course he's the man in a can. Do the math.

They reached Tony's last known shortly later. They flew in hot and fast. Rhodey had all his weapons ready. Peter landed and went to spider mode. That he could still do with ease; and without the powers. He kept his hand repulsors ready.

They reached Tony's car; it was a smoking ruin. Rhodey stayed in the air while Peter moved in from the ground. "No bios" said Rhodey. Peter confirmed that. Friday "no evidence of bio residue either. They're just gone boss."

That was about the gist of it. Peter "They're not dead then. They're alive." "For what?" "Bargaining chips. Killmonger's taking his game to the next level. Bring the US down."

And with Wakandan tech he can do that. These war dogs are likely handpicked and loyal to him. Maybe even Sobek infiltrators and converts.

Things had just gotten much more complicated.
