Wakanda took back the suit they let her make with their resources/Vibranium because they still don't trust outsiders with the mineral. Yeah they started Wakandan outreach programs after the Black Panther movie, but apparently they reeled back on that ever since Tchalla died and Atlantis (Namor) proved they're not as secure as they once thought. So Riri now has to start all over
>She had a schoolarship
If you build something that requires a lot of school investment, they have a legal claim to the IP. Riri was stealing from their shop and abusing grant money anyway. She's stealing with this gang because she has no other means of building her dream suit. The Han Solo actor (forget his name) is a black market dealer/buyer she finds, and we find out he's Zeke Stane (son of Obidiah from Iron Man 1).
