Here is the "Playing With Fire" chapter I promised. This chapter went through a lot of ideas and re-writes before it was completed, I hope it meets your standards my friends and fans. Special shout-out goes to The Story's Shadow for writing and editing part of this chapter. Unto the show my good friends.

Vixen and the rest of the Secret Warriors, minus Riri, could be found tracking down a villainess who had stolen Dante's powers, are currently at the museum where Kamala and Dante had first encountered this power stealing thief. Vixen had been ordered to hang back and guard the front entrance in case the thief tried to make a run for it. An alarm started blaring inside the museum and the smell of fire reached Vixen's enhanced sense of smell.

"Screw it, I'm moving in," Vixen growled as she abandoned her post and rushed inside the museum.

She ran past civilians who were all fleeing from the sounds of combat.

"What to do with you?" an unknown female voice said in an almost gloating tone as Vixen entered the battle-torn exhibit room.

She saw the thief from the security footage slowly and who was mockingly approaching the rest of the Secret Warriors, who appeared to be worn down and beaten.

"Imprisoning you in a web cacoon would be fun, and punching is always cool... but I'm going to go old school–" she didn't get to finish her sentence.

An aura ball slammed into her back and knocked her off balance, followed by Vixen running forward, jumping into the air, and then delivered a dive kick to the back of the young woman's head, knocking her to the ground.

"You shouldn't talk so much," Vixen hissed.

She walked towards SG and America who could be found sitting on the ground next to a shattered display case.

"Vixen, you've got to get out of here!" SG said in a concerned tone.

"Why would I do that? The threat's been subdued," Vixen said in a confused tone.

"She's stolen our powers as well now, and if she gets your aura magic, LOOK OUT!" Doreen screamed.

Vixen made the mistake of turning her back on a downed enemy, and that enemy had risen and was stretching her enlarged hand at Vixen, using Mrs. Marvel's stolen power, and now had Vixen trapped in her hand, that was until Vixen's eyes glowed yellow and what appeared to be flames began to glow around her body, making the thief's hand retract and go back to her body. The thief groaned in pain, clasping her hand as it returned to its normal size.

"What power is this?" the thief asked Vixen, who was folding her arms in confidence.

"Aura magic," Vixen answered as she took up a combat stance.

"Aura magic, what kind of power is that?" the thief asked with a smug smile on her face.

The thief grimaced as she waved her hand beside her, still reeling from the burning pain. But then she looked back at Vixen with a smirk.

"Guess it doesn't matter, as I'll have that power as well soon enough," she said in a cocky tone.

"You only have five glowing beads on that necklace of yours, that means you can only have five powers, how are you going to get mine without giving them back one of their powers?" Vixen asked in her own cocky tone, and that earned a brief confused look from the thief.

The thief looked down at the necklace to check it and if it wasn't for her stolen Spider-Sense she wouldn't have been able to dodge a jump kick from Vixen.

"I'll take five powers against your one." the thief mocked as she began lobbing fireballs at Vixen.

Vixen dodged and weaved around all the fireballs until one struck her face and made her drop to the ground. Her black sunglasses melted, revealing her yellow eyes to the thief, who took an almost scared step back.

"What are you?" she asked in a confused tone.

Vixen didn't respond, instead, she took up a combat stance once again and charged at the villainess, and the two began exchanging punches and kicks with each-other. However, due to her five stolen powers, and Vixen's strong aura, neither side gained an advantage in the conflict, until the thief surprised Vixen by creating a ring of fire around them.

"You think I'm scared of fire!?" Vixen hissed as she caught both fists of her enemy.

"No, but now there is nowhere to run!" her enemy hissed as Vixen kicked her in the gut, causing her to drop to a knee.

Vixen then tried to back-flip out of the ring of fire.

"Get back here!" the thief roared as her arm stretched and grabbed Vixen in midair and slammed her to the ground.

She then began raising Vixen into the air and slamming her into the ground multiple times.

"Had enough?" the villainess asked in a mocking tone.

To her surprise Vixen rose to her feet. Vixen assessed her situation and looked back at her friends who were severely hurt. She turned back to look at her foe who had increased her size and had her hands ablaze with flames. The fire began to spread and threatened to burn everything in sight. Vixen closed her eyes and grumbled, but then opened them again.

"Not even close." Vixen hissed as she now decided it was time to end this.

Her eyes began glowing a fierce golden yellow, and a moment later, a golden globe appeared in midair. Vixen put her hand into the globe and pulled out a golden handled sword.

"This is the Blade of Heaven, the most powerful weapon ever forged, this fight is over," Vixen said as she took up a combat stance with the sword in her right hand.

"A sword versus super powers, no thanks, I'll take the super powers." the thief mocked as she lobbed another fireball at Vixen.

But to her surprise, her enemy raised the blue and green bladed sword and the fireball was seemingly absorbed by the blade.

"What?" The thief screeched.

"You really didn't pay attention, did you? As strong as the powers you have are, this was formed by one of the most powerful beings in all of creation. The magic in this blade is greater than the one in that necklace. Time to end this. Hah!" Vixen shouted as she lunged forward.

The thief gasped as she returned to normal size and flew above Vixen. She thrust her hands forward and two streams of flames shot forward. Vixen brought the blade up with the same result as before. The thief stopped her fiery assault. Vixen glared at her.

"Your stolen fire is useless, best try something else," Vixen said.

The thief's right eye twitched in annoyance. But she then flew towards Vixen suddenly and threw her right fist forward. Vixen leaped out of the way. The thief's flying punch created a small crater in the floor. She bellowed as she charged forward and enlargened in her left fist and shot it forward. Vixen jumped over the attack and slammed one of the flat sides of the blade on the thief's arm. The thief screamed in pain, the agony horrific at the touch. She pulled back her arm and her hand returned to normal. She looked up to see Vixen standing over her.

"W-What are you gonna do now?" The thief gasped.

"Since I don't know the manner of the magic you have or what might doing to you would affect it, just hold onto it and you for safekeeping." Vixen said then punched her.

The thief fell to the floor and the ring of fire dissipated. Vixen hurried to her friends.

"Wow, that blade's really something." SG chuckled.

"Yeah, we should've brought our enchanted weapons with us too." Ms. Marvel said.

"Well, a lesson's been learned at least." Vixen chuckled.

"Indeed one has." a not so friendly voice said.

The group turned to see the thief standing up and glaring at them.

"Again? Perhaps you need another lesson." Vixen hissed.

"Oh, but I have one for you." the thief said.

She moved her hands to either side of her and released another set of fire streams. But this time they arced wide and headed swiftly for the defeated and de-powered Secret Warriors.

"No!" Vixen cried out.

She prepared to lunge to use the blade once again, but at the last moment, she saw something out of the corner of one of her eyes. One of the thief's feet had increased in size and slammed into her while forcing her into the wall behind her. The fire streams dissipated. The thief chuckled and groaned as her leg pulled back and returned to normal. Vixen groaned as she fell out of the hole she had forcibly made and hit the ground, unconscious.

-Later-

Vixen's vision finally returned to her, and she could see the concerned looks of the Secret Warriors faces looking down at her.

"Welcome back to the world of the living." Mrs. Marvel said as she helped a very shaken Vixen to her feet.

"Where is the thief?" Vixen asked Mrs. Marvel.

"Taken care of." a familiar male voice answered, and upon turning to her right, she could see Dante in his Inferno uniform.

"Thought you weren't coming?" Vixen asked.

"I couldn't leave my team." Dante answered proudly. "I seems I arrived just in the nick of time, as you had just been rendered unconscious when I arrived. Speaking of which, you alright?" Dante asked in a concerned tone.

"I've got a headache, but I'll live." Vixen answered simply as she walked over to where the Blade of Heaven lay on the ground, and picked it up, and quickly returned it to the golden globe that served as it's home. "Are all of your powers back?" Vixen asked the Secret Warriors.

"Yep, they are back where they belong." Ghost Spider answered with a smile underneath her mask that Vixen couldn't see.

"Glad to hear it." Vixen replied as she put a hand to her pounding temple. "Please tell me you have headache medicine back at HQ..."

-Hours Later-

Vixen and the team where still recovering from the battle when the door to the lounge room opened and in walked an unexpectedly battle worn Daisy and Rayshaun.

"What happened to you two?" Gwen asked in a curious tone. "Was protecting the President that hard?" she asked.

"Where is Vixen?" Daisy asked quickly.

"Getting patched up in the infirmary, why?" Gwen asked. Daisy and Rayshaun instantly walked away from Gwen and into the infirmary, where they saw Doreen and Vixen chatting away.

"Hey guys, how was Air Force One and the President?" Doreen asked in a curious tone.

"Vixen, there where complications aboard Air Force One, most notably, we ran into Wraith's minions..." Daisy informed the yellow eyed girl, who bolted upright, a serious expression on her face.

"What happened?" Vixen asked.

"Meet us in the lounge room, as there is a lot to tell..."
