Chapter 26
Date: June 2, 1999
Location: London, England
David's vigilante activities had gained traction over the past few months, with Londoners growing increasingly familiar with "Shadowflame." His popularity was spreading, stirring both fear and admiration. By now, many locals recognized him as the mysterious, flame-wielding figure dressed in black who handled crime quickly, disappearing into the night before anyone could track him.
While David continued his work as Shadowflame, he felt the weight of responsibility settling in. At fourteen, he knew he was juggling a dangerous double life, but he couldn't help feeling a growing need to protect people in his own way. As his high school years passed, he'd sharpened his parkour skills and his command over his New Order abilities, blending agility with his singular, shifting power for maximum impact.
With each night, his routine grew tighter, his movements even more precise. Shadowflame had become a fixture in certain parts of the city, sometimes hailed as a hero, sometimes feared as a vigilante force that skirted law enforcement's approval.

Later That Night
Back at the SHIELD office, Agent Phil Coulson reviewed another report from the London field office, growing increasingly frustrated. Shadowflame had become infamous in SHIELD's ranks, but even with his team's best efforts, they hadn't managed to contact him directly. The vigilante was elusive, slipping away at the last moment every time SHIELD sent someone to establish contact.
Coulson tapped his pen on the desk, contemplating his next move. Shadowflame was too valuable an asset to ignore. His use of flame-based powers and agility set him apart, and Coulson knew it was essential to approach him before the wrong people got to him.
Realizing he needed a different strategy, he decided to bring in someone who could match Shadowflame's skillset. Natasha Romanoff, known as the Black Widow, had the experience and precision needed to interact with an unconventional target like Shadowflame.
"Let's see if Natasha can get through to him," Coulson muttered, finalizing his message to dispatch her to London.
End of chap.
