After losing her leg and her mother in a car accident, Maya Lopez moves to New York City with her father William who has been shunned by her grandmother who blames his criminal ways for the death of her daughter.
William takes up a position as commander of the Tracksuit Mafia, working under Wilson Fisk, who becomes Maya's adoptive uncle.

Sometime later, Maya would encounter Barton again, who reveals that Fisk was the one who arranged for William's death. Maya ultimately avenges her father by shooting Fisk in the face at point blank range..
Five months later, Maya with a bounty on her head and on the run for shooting Fisk returns wounded to her hometown, Tamaha, Oklahoma. She meets with her uncle, Henry.
