## Background

Following an incident, involving the Ronin's suit, the Tracksuit Mafia targeted Clint Barton and Kate Bishop who were in the middle of the situation. As both Barton and Bishop ended up being captured by the Mafia, Maya Lopez demanded Barton to tell her everything he knew about the Ronin, since Lopez was determined to avenge her father. Barton told Lopez that the Ronin was killed by Black Widow, but she did not believe him and concluded that Barton was hiding the Ronin from her. Barton and Bishop managed to get away from the Mafia, and Lopez ordered Kazi Kazimierczak to keep tabs on Barton.

Searching for Laura Barton's watch, Barton and Bishop infiltrated Lopez's apartment where they found out that Lopez found out the names of Barton's family. After a brief altercation with Lopez and Yelena Belova, Barton realized that the forces against them were too dangerous, so he parted ways with Bishop to deal with it on his own. Collecting the Ronin suit, Barton sent a message to Lopez, so she would come to the Fat Man Used Cars, the place where the Ronin killed her father.

## Ambush

At night, Maya Lopez waited at the Fat Man Used Cars, with Kazi Kazimierczak staying at the sniper position, and other Tracksuit Mafia waiting in an ambush. Aware about an ambush, the Ronin initially started clearing the area by knocking Kazimierczak out and stealthly taking out the rest of the Mafia members. Despite being outnumbered, the Ronin neutralized all of them without spilling any blood, until Lopez found herself alone. Lopez attempted to shoot her enemy, but he avoided all of her bullets, before she got out of ammo. Face to face with the Ronin, Lopez engaged in a combat with the vigilante, even using his own sword against him. Ronin managed to disarm her and they continiued to fight, until the Ronin regained his sword and got an upper hand.

Being defeated, Lopez prepared to be finished off by the Ronin, however, he took off his mask and revealed himself as Clint Barton. Barton told Lopez that he will spare her, but warned her to stay away from his family for her own sake. Lopez was hesitant to back down, since Barton was the one who killed her father, but according to Barton, on that day, he received a tip from Wilson Fisk that led him to William's location. Refusing to believe Barton, Lopez striked him down and attempted to execute him with his sword, only to be stopped by Kate Bishop who disarmed Lopez with her arrow. Using Lopez's distraction, Barton and Bishop managed to get away from the scene, leaving confused Lopez alone.

## Aftermath

Following an altercation with Ronin, Maya Lopez met with Kazi Kazimierczak and asked him why he was not present at the Tracksuit Mafia meeting at the night when her father died. Kazimierczak excused himself, saying that did not receive a call, and although Lopez did not believe him, she pretended that she did. Afterwards, Lopez met with Wilson Fisk and told him that she decided to abandon her quest to kill Ronin, as well as that she is stepping down from the Mafia's business.

Lopez prepared to leave New York City, however, she could not forgive Fisk who had her father murdered and manipulated Lopez the whole time. Lopez turned against the Tracksuit Mafia and during the confronatation at the Rockefeller Center, she confronted Kazimierczak. Lopez tried to convince Kazimierczak to put the Mafia behind but he could not, since Fisk would not let him leave. In the subsequent confrontation, Lopez heavily wounded Kazimierczak, although she did not intend to, but had to leave him behind. Afterwards, Lopez found Fisk running away from the NYPD and confronted him with a gun in her hand.
