Linda goes undercover as a waitress
Linda aided in the theft of a vibranium artifact of Wakanda from the Museum of Great Britain orchestrated by Ulysses Klaue and Erik Killmonger. Posing as a barista, she brewed a poisoned drink to incapacitate a curator talking to Killmonger, creating a distraction. As Klaue and Limbani arrived on the scene, disguised as EMTs, Linda left the building and made her way to an ambulance.
After the group in the museum killed the security guards and stole the artifact, Linda intercepted them in the ambulance. Linda awaited, as Killmonger was loaded in on a stretcher, promptly sharing a kiss with him as the group made their getaway.[1]
Rescue of Ulysses Klaue
After Ulysses Klaue had been captured by the Black Panther and brought into the custody of CIA in South Korea while trying to sell the stolen vibranium artifact, Linda, along with Erik Killmonger and the rest of the crew, planned a rescue for Klaue. While Klaue was being interrogated by Everett Ross, the gang hacked the cameras of the building he was being held in and placed explosive charges outside the wall of the interrogation room. The explosives were detonated by Killmonger, as Linda and the rest of the gang opened fire on the occupants while pulling Klaue out and into the back of their truck. Black Panther pursued but was hit by a grenade launcher fired by Killmonger which allowed the gang to escape.[1]
