The thief known as Sidewinder attempts to steal the Scorpio Key from a S.H.I.E.L.D. installation at the behest of woman named Death Sting who has attempted several times before with different agents. Each time, the agent has died. And while Sidewinder makes it farther than any other, he too fails and dies. Death Sting confides in her assistant that there is no one she could hire who could complete the task. However, that doesn't mean there aren't others who could who complete the task but who couldn't be hired.
