#without her fury had to call captain marvel

[daisy-mooon]

Behind the jokes and badassness, Captain Marvel is a fascinating character to me, because of how death follows her.

She causes an explosion. That explosion, which gives her powers and her immortality, canonically kills her. The Kree Empire resurrects her and makes her as Kree as they can. She shares Yon-Rogg's blood and his life, she's his creation, she's his victim, she's the one who causes his downfall, she's the one that destroys the system, the society, the planet that allowed her to be abused.

It's the Kree that see her as a killer and Annihilator. She's a monster of their own making, but it influences every species and planet she touches. Her victories cause death and her mistakes cause more death. Carol's triumph, the death of the Supreme Intelligence, results in the death of probably millions of Kree, and by consequence, almost causes the death of Hala's star.

"I'm only human" Carol says, before killing the Empire that is the reason that she can't ever be human again.

"We'll be back for the weapon," Ronan says, but that weapon will kill everything he stands for.

"Your life began the day it nearly ended," The Supreme Intelligence says, coldly, calculatingly. It's an AI. It doesn't have a good concept of death. It doesn't fully grasp that Carol had genuinely been killed that day, because she's still in front of it. Carol kills it.

"Death seems to follow you," Dar-Benn says, before she causes an explosion with the bangles, trying to defeat Carol. The explosion kills Dar-Benn.

Death follows Carol. Death follows Carol! Mar-Vell is dead. Maria is dead. Talos is dead. Soren is dead. Ronan is dead. Minn-Erva is dead. Korath is dead. Dar-Benn is dead. Yon-Rogg is, probably, dead. The Supreme Intelligence is dead. Natasha is dead. Tony is dead.

The only people in Carol's life who aren't dead are Kamala, Monica, Yan, Valkyrie, and Fury.

She watches helplessly as Dar-Benn almost murders Kamala after Kamala tries to save Dar-Benn's life, tries to find a way to solve the violence without death.

She watches helplessly as Monica gets torn into another reality, which for all she knows, she could die in. The tear in reality that was caused by Dar-Benn's death.

She tries to hide Yan's existence from her friends and tries to warn him and his people. The Kree soldiers aren't fighting to maim, they're fighting to kill. He escapes death by his own fighting skills and the fact that the Kree would rather focus on killing Carol than him.

Valkyrie and Carol interact once, and she only calls when she needs help after a fight, not during. Think about it. Valkyrie and the Bifrost could have helped the trio enormously. But Carol doesn't call until the fights are over. It would be very easy for a regular Asgardian warrior to die compared to superhumans.

And Fury... have you seen how often Fury comes close to dying? He's alive from skill and luck. He is lucky that he isn't dead.

Captain Marvel is so, so fascinating. Her story begins with her own death, and the more it goes on, the more death happens around her. Nobody is safe. She causes almost all of them, even the ones of her friends - not directly, but through the consequences of her actions. The consequences of her victories and mistakes. The consequences of her anger and revenge, her power and powerlessness. It is caused by both the Human and Kree sides of her, by both Carol and Vers, Captain Marvel and the Annihilator.

Carol is immortal. She can't die. And death follows her anyway.

im dYIIIINGGGG with the adam warlock x quill sister! when he calls her 'little quill'??? with that accent of his??? so soft and husky??? im screaming at my phone dude aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i need part iii right freaking now!!!

PAIRING: adam warlock & fem! quill’s sister!reader

POWERS: adapted from D.C.'s Stargirl, although in this instance, the powers are a part of you and the staff just helps you use them.

WC: 1.9k (woo a shorter one this time!) 

SUMMARY: your first meeting with Adam wasn't one that indicated that you'd become friends anytime soon. Your second meeting. . . wasn't great either. But, somewhere along the line, you would develop a soft spot for the curious man-child.

WARNINGS: slight gotg three spoilers, badly written original fight scene, possibly ooc canon!guardians.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: OMG!!! This is my first-ever inbox message- thank you, anon! You made my day with this <3 I love Adam's/Will's accent; I definitely hope that we get to see (and hear) more of him in other Marvel movies. As requested, here's part three (even if it's technically part zero, lol.) I do take requests if anyone wants to send me stuff! (I just won't write smut, sorry!)

I hope you guys enjoy this part, although I'm not very confident about it since I'm terrible at writing fight scenes. It's hard enough for me to imagine original content (like the other two parts) but scenes where people move around a lot without the movie itself to rely on are very difficult for me because my mind doesn't think in pictures, but in words and I don't know how to describe fighting. I'm sorry if this isn't as good as the other parts. 😭

And on a side note, the 'no shit, Captain Sherlock' is another reference to space people messing up Terran lingo :)

Part 1 , Part 2

You were admittedly not in the best mood when you first (officially) met Adam. Peter and Mantis had left only days ago, leaving you to sort out your feelings alone. You were currently in the training room, fueling your sadness into anger at their abandonment. You often used your powers to aid you while you were fighting, but they weren’t much use during everyday life— unless you wanted to fly. Now, however, they were very useful.

Brilliant blasts of golden light shot out from the staff that your hands gripped tightly. While your powers could be used without aid, the staff helped you control them; Ego had made it for you when you’d become old enough to serve as his protector. Although you were disgusted with the weapon’s origins, you couldn’t help but agree that it made your fighting much more effective.

Each of your blasts hit the targets squarely in the middle as you turned deftly to conquer the row. A scowl was prominent on your face as you pictured each of your targets as Peter’s or Mantis’ face. (While you would never really want to hurt them, of course, the sting of their desertion fueled your thoughts.) You were listening to a playlist by the Rage Against the Machine— which you had chosen solely because of the band’s name as it mirrored your feelings. The music that was blasting in your ears was so loud that, if someone had been standing next to you, they could have heard the lyrics as if they were wearing your headphones themselves.

As you moved up and down the line of targets, you were unaware of the audience of three that had entered the room. Groot, Rocket and Adam stopped by the entrance to watch you unleash your fury against whatever enemy you were envisioning. The new leader of the Guardians gestured to you. “There. See? I told you she’s nice.”

Adam hesitated, clearly uncertain. “She looks mad.”

“I am Groot,” Groot agreed.

“Shut up,” Rocket retorted, glaring slightly at the tree who was supposed to be helping his case. “She won’t hurt goldie. You’ve already seen her bad side, haven’t you? This is nuthin’.”

The golden boy had to admit that Rocket was right; he remembered only too well his first encounter with you as you’d jumped in to help your friends fight off his unexpected attack.

--

He’d just defeated the stupid tree-like thing and as it scuttled away like a demented spider, the faint sound of a whistle pierced through the air. An arrow shot out of nowhere, harmlessly bouncing off his skin and only annoying him more than anything else. He looked around sharply, but there didn’t seem to be anyone brave enough to fight him in the vicinity. “Hey! Who threw that?”

He scoffed when there was no answer, stalking towards where he’d last seen his target. But before he could get very far, a force came out of nowhere— this time much stronger than an errant arrow. It knocked him off his feet like a bullet and together they were sent flying through the town, which elicited more cries of fear from the citizens.

He landed harshly against a building that got in the way and debris fell on top of him from the force of the collision. Adam grunted irritably; this was the second time during this fight that his enemy thought that throwing him into a building would be enough to deter his attack— didn’t they ever learn? He stood and shook the dust off his clothes before he strode back out to the street to face this new opponent. Except— it wasn’t the same blue person from before.

The golden boy stared at the other person with disbelief, the only thing that he could come up with was: “you’re a girl!”

She scoffed. “Yeah, no shit, Captain Sherlock.” She twirled the staff in her hands expertly between her fingers before she set the butt down on the ground. It glowed softly as it lit up with her power, her face set. “Let’s do this thing.”

Adam had no qualms about fighting a girl, so they charged at each other without hesitation. He thought she’d be as easy to take down as her teammates but when they collided, she merely used her staff as a shield against his attack. They paced across the open space as they exchanged blows, the girl using her staff offensively and defensively interchangeably. As she flipped neatly out of the way of one of his advances, he began to see how evenly matched they were.

“You are stalling,” he realized. “If you just hand over your friend, we would not have to fight.”

The girl paused, flicking some of her hair out of her eyes. “Oh. Well, in that case—”

She charged at him again, her staff catching on his uniform. She followed him into the air and her swift kick to his stomach sent him tumbling away from her. It was then that he realized that she could fly— just like him— and that was what had powered her initial attack. In the time it took for him to recover from the spin, a blast of golden light was sent his way. Because of his more durable skin, though, the light only felt like volts of electricity rather than something that could do actual damage. The most effective part of her power was the blast itself, which he had to fight through to get closer to her.

Now that he knew where her power came from, he made to attack her staff in order to knock it out of her hands. She seemed to sense his plan— Adam figured most people she fought went this route— and she countered this by trying to fly above him to push him towards the ground. He responded by grabbing the staff in her hands directly while she was mid-swing. The girl was tiring slightly, her breath becoming shorter as the fight went on and she was now on the defensive.

She tried to yank her staff loose from his hold but as evenly matched as they were, he was still stronger. The girl then attempted to shake him off by lighting the staff up with her power. If he hadn’t been such a strong opponent, the golden light would have burned through his hands. As it was, the little volts were barely something that he registered. While he could have easily swung the staff to send her flying off the end and into the ground, he held back the true show of his strength as she didn’t seem to be as resilient as the two blue people or the tree.

Instead, he tried once more for the diplomatic route: “you have fought valiantly for your little friend. If you surrender him to me now I will leave your village in peace.”

The girl’s eyes narrowed with fury as she continued to fight to free her weapon. “Go to hell!”

Adam sighed, having partially expected that response. “Very well. Have it your way, then.”

He smoothly jerked the staff from her grasp and carelessly tossed it to send the weapon spiraling towards the ground. He turned back towards the girl to finish her off as he had her teammates, but he paused. She seemed to hang, suspended, in the air as time appeared to freeze around her. Her eyes widened and, for the first time since he’d encountered her, a look of fear appeared on her face.

Then, she dropped like a stone.

They were very high off the ground by this point and the fall would likely kill a normal being. He wasn’t sure if she would survive, so his reflexes kicked in before he could really think about what he was doing.

By now, the shock had worn off and she fell through the air, she reached up to him as he was the only person who could help her. Adam put on a spurt of speed to try and catch her but she was falling faster than he had anticipated. The girl slammed into the ground and lay still just as he landed next to her. He told himself that saving her wasn’t his mission, and her incapacitation only made obtaining his goal easier. His mother’s orders echoed in his mind, so against his instinct he turned away from her in pursuit of the squirrel.

--

You felt a tap on your shoulder, startling you. You whirled around with your staff in a defensive position only to be met with the sight of your teammates. With a sigh, you pulled out one earbud but didn’t pause your music.

“What?” you asked shortly.

“Don’t you take that tone with me, Little Quill. I’m ya superior now,” Rocket replied, unaffected by your attitude. “I wanted you to meet golden boy here.”

You gave Adam a once-over, ignoring how the sight of his. . . attractive features made your stomach curl pleasantly. “Yeah. We’ve met.”

The boy in question shifted uncomfortably, feeling once again ashamed of his previous actions. Before he could say anything, Rocket spoke again, adjusting the straps of his jumpsuit as he did so: “well, I ain’t great with humie ages, but I figured ya’d be about the same. I thought it might boost team morale to see ya two hangin’ out together or whatever humies your age do.”

While your first response was to dismiss the whole endeavor— you didn’t want to get close to someone else just to have them leave you, too— but a small, traitorous part of your mind whispered: he saved your brother. Another part chimed in: he’s not bad to look at.

“Fine,” you grumbled. “He can stay, but he better not get in my way. I’m not stopping my training because of him.”

“That’s the spirit, Little Quill,” your captain said, choosing to not acknowledge your reluctance. “I’ll leave ‘im in your hands. Let’s go, Groot.”

As you shoved the earbud back in your ear, you could faintly hear Adam’s protest: “wait! You’re not leaving me here, are you?”

While Rocket’s reply was drowned out by your music, the boy’s words hit you unexpectedly; it sounded just like your response to Peter’s and Mantis’ disinclination to stay with the Guardians. Some of your anger faded as you glanced at the boy who stood awkwardly in your periphery. Despite all of his strength and power, Adam looked a bit like a lost puppy and his expression made your features soften against your will. Fine. Whatever. It wouldn’t kill you to be nice.

You took out an earbud again. “Well, don’t just stand there. I know you can fight, so let’s see you use those skills.”

At the reminder of your first encounter, he sent you a guilty look. As he stepped up next to you, he said quietly, “I’m sorry about that, by the way. For almost killing you.”

You patted him on the arm companionably. “Hey, no hard feelings. You’re not the first and you certainly won’t be the last, so just add your name to the list.”

All of the Guardians had forgiven him with surprising readiness and it seemed like you were no different— only, you were. His gaze stayed on the spot where your hand had touched him. There was a lingering warmth as if your hand was still there, the sensation sending tingles (not unlike the ones that he felt during your blasts of power) through him.

Heat Of The Moment

Pairings: Carol Danvers x fem!reader; Maria Hill x fem!reader (platonic); Nick Fury x fem!reader (platonic)

Warnings: brief mention of injuries; reader gets hurt

Summary: you put yourself in danger one too many times and Carol gets worried. A heart to heart is needed…

Genre: hurt/ comfort

a/n: I watched the Marvels today so Carol’s on my mind ;)

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

You were laughing with some of your SHIELD colleagues when Carol marched in. “I want you to quit your job,” she demanded.

“Um.. ok. What’s wrong?”

Your colleagues muttered awkwardly and moved away giving you and Carol some space. You sighed and gestured around you. “You had to do it here?”

“I’m sorry,” she replied gently. “But when Maria Hill calls me up to inform me that my girlfriend’s been injured, I get worried. You didn’t think to mention you got shot?! Twice!”

“Let’s start with the part where Maria called you. Why?” Carol looked away. “Why Carol?”

“Oh it’s ‘Carol’ now?”

“It is until you stop acting so damn mysterious and tell me why my boss has you on speed dial!”

“Ladies!” Nick Fury’s voice rang out across the office. He pointed to the conference room. “Both of you. Now.”

You refused to sit down, instead pacing the length of the room looking anywhere but at Carol. You were angry and confused that she’d gone behind your back and taken protective measures without consulting you.

Carol sat down, watching you and saying nothing. Fury finally broke the silence. “What’s the damn issue? Yelling in the workplace like children is not professional.”

“Going behind my back is not professional!” you shouted. “Checking in on me without involving me is not professional! Having my boss on speed dial is not professional Carol.”

“Please stop calling me Carol!” she snapped. Taken aback, you stared at her in surprise. “And don’t give me that look. You know why. I’m off world 355 days a year. I’m not here. And it’s great you’re working for SHIELD. I know that’s your dream. But then you signed up to missions, to more, and suddenly I’m two galaxies away receiving calls from your boss telling me you can’t talk to me because you’re lying unconscious in a hospital bed, damn near close to dying!” Tears were pooling in your girlfriend’s eyes.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I don’t make it easy. I’m sorry I don’t always communicate. But I’m not quitting missions or SHIELD to make you feel safer. I came alive Carol. Storming those bases, analysing intel, working with the Avengers, working with you… I’m not giving it up now I’ve experienced it. You can’t ask me to do that.”

Carol rubbed at her eyes then looked at you coldly. “Then I guess we’re not meant for each other y/n.” She got up and left the room, ignoring your stammering voice.

“I think you just got dumped,” Fury informed you.

“Yes I’m well aware of that!” you snapped, exiting the room angrily.

You headed straight for your room and fell on your bed, bursting into tears. You were so happy when Carol had first looked at you then talked to you and then eventually kissed you. You had everything you could possibly want… and you’d just lost it all.

***

Several weeks later, you were on a standard recon mission for SHIELD. Captain America was supporting but it was considered unlikely he’d be needed. You knew he was there to keep an eye on Sharon Carter, as they’d recently started seeing each other.

The thought made you smile and your heart ached with a memory of Carol and the cheeky looks she’d send you in meetings that were meant to be serious.

“I’ve got the back,” you informed your team mates on comms, running to a padlocked door. A simple silent detonation device blasted it open and you headed inside, gun at the ready.

“All clear-“ Someone crashed into you making you gasp and drop your gun. You scrabbled with one hand trying to find it and someone trod on your fingers making you yelp.

The attacker picked you up and threw you with force against the far wall. You hit your head, cried out and everything went black.

***

Slowly you opened your eyes to see your hand smothered in bandages, an IV poking out. One leg was in a cast, supported by a sling from the ceiling. You could feel tight skin across your right cheek and winced when you touched it.

“I wouldn’t do that.” Maria strode into the room, clipboard in hand, Dr Cho behind her. “Helen’s done some cell reconstruction on your cheek, it was ripped apart by exposed steel supports in the wall.”

“Deputy Director Hill, with all due respect, Agent y/l/n should be resting right now. She has just had major surgery and needs time to recover. Questioning can wait,” Dr Cho announced.

“Doctor, as I’ve told you, I just need a few minutes to ask some questions.” Maria shot the doctor a firm gaze. “Five minutes.”

Helen muttered then swiftly left the room, talking intently to herself. Maria watched her go then turned to you. “Agent.”

“Maria,” you replied, “you’ve known me for six years.”

“Fine… y/n, don’t you ever pull crap like that again.” Her tone was firm but her eyes twinkled. “You gave us all a fright. What were you thinking charging into danger like that?”

“Cap was on support and I’ve run far more dangerous ops than this one Maria.”

“Cap’s eyes were on Sharon Carter.” Maria sighed. “I’m over-ruling Fury on that one next time.”

“Hmm.. let me be a fly on the wall for that conversation,” you smirked, making Maria roll her eyes.

“Now then, as for the – “

“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!” Carol barged into the room, breathing heavily like she’d run a marathon and glaring at you.

“Why hello to you too,” you replied. “You’ve interrupted a mission debrief so if you join the queue in the corridor…”

“You’re not that popular, don’t flatter yourself,” Maria teased, shutting up when she noticed Carol’s side eye. “Okay, y/n we can resume this later.” She quietly exited the room.

You glared at Carol. “I was working.”

“You got thrown against a brick wall, had your face torn apart by a steel barrier, broke three bones in your foot and fractured four fingers… that is not working!”

“Touche. Someone read my file.”

“Y/n…” Carol whimpered. “Please. Talk to me.”

“As I recall we’re not meant for each other so we probably shouldn’t be talking,” you replied coldly.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry y/n.”

“Sorry isn’t enough anymore.” You leant back on your pillow and closed your eyes. “We’re done here Carol.”

“Sweet…”

“Don’t even start.”

Silence fell. You slowed down your breathing and heart rate. Having Carol back was making you feel all sorts of emotions and you didn’t want to admit you were over the moon to see her. You lay further back against your pillows and soon drifted off into a restless sleep.

***

Hours later you opened your eyes. You turned your head slightly to see painkillers being drip fed into you.

“Hey… how are you feeling?”

You looked tiredly at Carol. “Like I lost a fight with a brick wall.”

“I deserved that.”

“Yeah. You were mean.” You sighed.

“But?”

“What makes you think there’s a but?”

“Always is with you,” she chuckled and your heart leapt at the sound.

“But… so was I. We both said some things.”

“We sure did.”

“We’ve said worse,” you commented dryly making her chuckle again. “But you were mean. I get where you’re coming from though.”

“Oh yeah?”

“You’re away 355 days of the year. You live in space. I’m not always up there. I worry too. This isn’t a one-way street hun.”

“Hun?”

“Term of endearment. Short for honey. Aka you.”

Carol smirked and moved closer, perching on the edge of your bed. She ran a hand over the good side of your face, pressing her fingertips against your lips gently. You kissed them smiling up at her.

“I miss you,” you whispered.

“I was out of line,” she replied. “What I said… I said it because I love you y/n.”

You stared at her. Neither of you had said the three little words yet and hearing her say them made you smile. “I love you too dumbass.”

“Oh I’m the dumbass? You’re the one who took on a brick wall.”

I saw you again ‖ Carol Danvers x reader part 2

Summary - You couldn't look at her eyes without falling in love again Warning - Was written before The Marvels came out, so the event will not matches canon

Part 1

Three years.

Three years since you came back from the blip. Three years since you moved out of your old house. Something happened to you during the blip. It happened to only a few people but you were unfortunatly one of them. You forgot half of the last four years of your life. Which meand you forgot half of the people you knew in the past 4 years, you forgot half of the things that happened and you forgot half of the good and bad event of your life.

So you decided to move out of your old house. You were still an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D, but you only went on very important mission with the Avengers. Well, at first you were in a bit of a conflict with Clint, due to Natasha's death, but you mainly ignored him. Oh and also, Yelena and you were closer than ever. Not as in a relationship but in a sister way. You were the one to help her deal with Natasha's death and even if it was hard this got you both closer. She felt happier so you felt proud of yourself.

You, however, you felt like something was missing. Like someone was missing. You knew who she was. Atleast you knew her name. Carol. That is how you called her. Well how you called her in your song anyways. You knew she was someone dear to you, you never wrote songs about people so she must have been special. But you didn't remember her and there was no Carol in your social circle.

Anyhow, right now you were in a little rush. You had to go to work for an emergency meeting, Fury's call, about a super hero under the name of 'Captain Marvel'. He said that she was going to take the lead of the SAT, a team you decided to start and so you needed to be there. The SAT, also known as Space Avengers Team was an innitative that would reunite all the Avengers non-human or able to live in space for missions in the outer space or on another planet. Your plan was to expend protection all around the universe, to give the Guardian of the Galaxy more help. The multiverse too now with the help of the young America by Strange's side. And as the brain of idea, you had to be at the meeting on time.

You rushed throught the entrance of S.C.Y.T.H.E, Super Communicative Yard Technologic Hyper Electrocnic, you were greeted by a few agents but you couldn't waste your time on them. As you reached the elevator, you saw that the door was about to close itself and you frowned.

"Please hold the door !" You called out and the person inside of the elevator blocked the door.

"Thank you so much." You said between breath not even looking at the agent by your side.

The meeting was starting in five minutes. You were just on time.

꧁----------꧂

It has been three years since Carol last saw you. She would come visit Earth a few times, and everytime she was staying at your house to remember you. But now here you were. Standing beside her, not even noticing her presence in the elevator.

"Thank you so much." Your voice echoed throught the elevator and Carol felt her eyes tears up.

It has been so long since the last time she heard your voice. Eight years, and now, it sounded so familiar yet so strange. And you looked familiar yet so she feels like you were a stranger. Your once light h/c hair were now darker, and you were also taller than before. Your voice still sounded the same but at the same time your sounded less guarded than before. Everything about you changed, without changing.

Exiting the elevator on the same level, Carol watched as you rushed inside of the meeting room. Not even sparing a glance at her. And she felt her nerves goes up.

"Ah ! There she is ! Carol Danvers, our Captain !" Nick smirked and you looked up from your sit.

'Carol Danvers'

This name was familiar to you and when you looked up, there stood a blond. Her hair were short, very short but it suited her, she was in her suit and you couldn't help but gulp a little at the sign. But what caught your attention the most were her eyes. Her light brown eyes were filled with so many emotions. They held so many memories.

-----

"Carol ! No Carol stop !" You ran away throught your field and Carol chased after you.

"You get back here !" The blond yelled and you giggled before turning around with a smirk.

What you didn't expect was Carol being closer to you than what she was supposed to be, causing the two of you fall. Carol on top of you, yet her right hand was under your head, preventing it to hit the ground.

"If you wanted me to be on top of you, you could have just asked me darling." Carol smirked and you blushed before shoving her away.

"In your dream Vers, back to work now !" You replied with a playful smile and you broke your eyes contact before getting up and go back inside, giggling at Carol's next words that you knew by heart now.

"Yeah, in my wildest dreams Y/n/n. I'll see you again !"

-----

"I should take you on a date." You moved from under the spaceship and Carol chocked on drink.

"W-what ?" She asked with burning cheeks and you smirked.

"I should take you on a date." You repeated and the other woman turned away, clearly flustered.

After a few seconds, you couldn't help but laugh at her reaction causing Carol to faceyou once again, with a playful glare this time. Once your laughter died down, you looked back at Carol only to see her smile from ears to ears, and she was in awe.

"Stop looking at me with those eyes." You playfully rolled your eyes.

"What eyes ?" The blond asked with confusion.

"Eyes that tells me that you're in love with me or something." You pointed out and Carol walked to stand in front of you.

"But I am in love with you. I love you. So please be my girlfriend." She bluntly asked and you stood there in shook.

"W-what ?" This time you were the one stuttering and Carol chuckled before walking away.

"Alright, I'll let you think about your answer ! I'll see you later Space Widow !" She called, leaving you a blushing mess in your garage.

-----

"You know, your eyes remind me of winter." Carol spoke up and you, who was laying against her chest, looked up from your ipad with a confused frown.

"What ?" The question slip from between your lips and the blond chuckled.

"Well, they are cold but beneath them is a bliss of beauty, just like how snow covers the flower buds. And even if they give a cold exterior, the warm your eyes hide behind their walls is so comforting. Just like a warm blanket covering me." Carol explained and you let your ipad on the table with a cheeky smile.

"Then yours remind me of fall. The light brown color of your eyes remind me of the fallen leaves and it also remind me of the cover of the books in my library that I read in fall. Under a warm blanket all over me too." You replied and Carol smiled before pecking your nose.

"Well aren't you a cutie." She complimented and you intertwined your fingers.

"I'm your cutie thought right ?" You questioned and the woman hummed against your lips.

"Yep you are." Carol's soft lips pressed against yours and you moved to a more comfortable position, deciding to sit on her lap, until the kiss was broken by your yawn.

"Go to sleep my darling. I'll be there when you woke up." Carol hugged you tighter and you snuggled into her chest.

"I'll see you again ?" You questioned and the woman nodded.

"I'll see you again love."

-----

"We've been waiting for weeks now ! Where is Fury's team !?" You groaned as you passed around the living room and Carol sighed.

"Darling-"

"No. Listen. The fact that he even let your spacehip have a deficiency is a problem, but he doesn't even try to send you a team ! And the intel you got was wrong !-"

"Babe-"

"-You are so busy but you had to come here and every intel he told you were wrong. Plus you crashed your ship !-"

"Y/n-"

"-What if there was another planet that needs you right now but because Fury doesn't move his ass they will not be able to reach you on time and-"

"Y/n look at me." Carol stopped you firmly, holding both of your arms and making you face her.

"Love calm down. Take a deep breath okay ?" She added as you shared an eyes contact.

And you took a deep breath, her warm light brown eyes helping you to keep your ground as Carol caressed your cheek.

"Everything will be okay. Fury's team will arrive in a few. And if people needs me I'll be there on time. And if I didn't crash my space ship I wouldn't have meet you love." The blond comforted you and you hummed contantly, hugging to woman of your life in the middle of your living room.

"If you go back in space. I'll still see you again right ?" You asked not louder than a whisper and Carol kissed the top of your head.

"I'll see you again. Always."

-----

"I'll see you again..." You breathed out and Carol's breath itched.

"I'm sorry ?" The captain asked and you immediately went throught your stuff.

"I'll see you again ! These were the words you used to tell me all the time ! You're the Carol I love ! The one I wrote the song about ! You're the Carol I've been waiting for all these years !" You exclaimed happily and rushed to hug Carol tightly.

Carol couldn't believe it. Not only you were hugging her after eight years but you also said that you loved her. During the entire time of you both being together you never said L word. Yet today you were basically saying it to stranger.

"I missed you so much..." You whispered and the blond woman couldn't help but feel a tear roll down her cheek.

"I missed you... So much more." She answered.

Then Carol cupped your cheeks between her hands and you leaned into her touch almost immediatly. Your e/c eyes locked with brown ones as Carol smiled. You were really there. She could feel you, she could hold you.

"I missed you so much more my love." Carol lips brushed against yours.

Then your eyes drifted to her lips. You didn't even knew her that well but you felt like you need to kiss her. It just seemed right. And without a single thought, you closed the space between you two. At first you were tensed, the last time you kissed someone, that you could remember of anyways, was probably when you were on a mission for the Red Room. So a while ago. And yet here you were. Kissing a stranger. The kiss was soft yet passionated. And it was probably cliché to say this, but you felt like firework filled in your stomach.

Carol moved her hands from your cheeks to your hands and your fingers interlocked together. They fitted perfectly, as if the were made for each other. Without leaving each other's hold, the both of you pulled away and a soft smile made its way to your lips.

"I knew it. My prodigal child with the prodigal child of the Milky way." Fury smirk from the side and you looked down, your cheeks burning.

"What can I say ? I was destinated to be with a star." Carol replied while looking down at you.

Looking up at her with a smile, you couldn't help but stare at her enchanting eyes. You felt loved, cuddled, under a warm blanket.

"I'm so glad I got to see you again Captain Marvel." You breathed out with a grin and Carol put a strand of hair behind your ear lovingly.

"And I more Space Widow."

With Friends Like You, Who Needs Enemies?

Steve Rogers x Reader, Steve x Natasha, Bucky Barnes x Reader

Reader is a mutant with the ability to turn sound into light who was 'adopted' aka stolen as a child by Baron Von Strucker to use for experimentation. She was given a form of the Super soldier serum so in addition to her mutant abilities she also has super strength, enhanced senses and healing. When he starts experimenting on his volunteers, the Maximoff twins, she tries to convince them to escape with her but they tell the Baron that she's planning to escape so he doubles her cell security. Steve and reader met when the team recovered Loki's scepter from Strucker.

She falls in love with Steve and becomes good friends with Nat but they aren't the friends she thinks they are.

This story is canon adjacent except that Thanos never happened.

Chapter 12

Warnings: swearing, little angst

Notes: I know this is short but it just didn't flow with the chapter before or after so I'm just throwing it out there.

The entire team, minus Steve sat around the dining room table eating tacos and talking quietly in small groups. Even Thor, the Guardians, T'Challa, Scott Lang and Captain Marvel were in attendance.

Once everyone was almost finished Tony spoke up "I want to start by thanking everyone for coming in, I know it's a long drive for some. I do think it's important that everyone is involved in this decision and it's easier to talk without distractions when we're all in the same place." He sighed "After Germany I hoped we wouldn't have to address anything like this again. As you all know agent Romanoff is gone so her betrayal has been addressed but Rogers will be tougher thanks to public perceptions." He paused for a moment, thoughtful "since you all have the details of the latest drama we won't make Rainbow listen to any of that so straight into discussion. If anyone has any comments, thoughts, insights or dirty jokes please speak up."

Tony sat down and waited but it didn't take long for Bruce to speak up

"I'm sure all of you have a good idea where I would stand on this. As much as Steve has betrayed our trust he's still Captain America and has a lot of public support. If people find out that Natasha was never truly rehabilitated and then a bunch of negative press comes out about Steve it will damage the teams credibility. That being said I think he should get his own apartment. Away from the compound. And maybe only send him on missions when absolutely necessary. Let him be the performing monkey and handle the PR mess he's created."

Thor argued "Why would we keep someone who has broken our trust like Rogers? In some cases we would be trusting him with our lives. He was still intimate with Natasha when she was held here while her eyes healed. He has put her and his needs first for far too long."

Wanda spoke up "What if I read him on a regular basis so we know for sure where he stands?"

"That sounds awfully invasive, even unconstitutional." Countered Nick Fury as he entered the room. "You know, Stark, I'm fine with you handling the daily operations but you've taken out one of my best agents and now want to retire Captain America. Considering the circumstances I can overlook your response to Romanoff but benching Rogers is too far." He shook his head "Ross won't have it."

He sat at the opposite end of the table and sighed "We can have PR spin it as she was a sleeper and manipulated him. Send him on a leave of absence to give people time to forget."

Rainbow had been sitting quietly, listening to the various arguments when Tony looked to her questioningly.

She sighed "Well, I'm not going to forget but unfortunately I think Bruce is right. I do support having him move offsite and would like it to include restricting his access here."

Nick and Tony looked at her then each other and nodded. "Is this a plan everyone can live with?" Tony asked before calling Steve in.

There were grumbles and nods, proving it a good compromise since no one was really happy.

Steve showed up a few minutes later looking for a fight "Look Tony i know that I've made some mistakes but this is-" he stopped when he saw Nick and looked around the room "What's going on? Did you need Nick to do your dirty work, Tony? I should have-"

Nick snapped "Shit the fuck up, Rogers. We've agreed to let you stay on the team but you need to find housing offsite. And you'll be doing more PR than avenging for now. I'll have one of the people in that dept get in touch with you this week."

Steve was shocked still having expected some backlash but didnt know what to do next.

Tony looked around "Any other business while we're all here? I guess not. I don't know about any of you but I'm ready for happy hour."

At that moment Happy came out of the kitchen with a cart that had two pitchers of margaritas, chips and glasses which were passes around and filled.

Rainbow squeezed Bucky's hand as she took a sip of her drink and he leaned over to say something in her ear which made her laugh and nod.

@vicmc624

Wanda looked at them and smiled. When Vision asked what she was smiling about she looked at him "Bucky's gonna take Rainbow on a date tonight. Their first real date."

A Secret Invasion Math Problem (Spoilers Episode 3)

Here’s a math problem for you, if Gravik kills two women how many of them will come back? LOL did you answer 1? I think you are correct. -- at least I don’t think this is the end of Emilia in the series regardless of whether it is G’iah who comes back or the character whose identity G’iah stole!! 

What major potential reveals do we have here: Rhodey is probably being impersonated by a skrull and he’s the one who told Gravik that Nick returned to earth and was with Hill. This will replace my Talos set up Hill theory to Rhodey set up Hill theory as Rhodey also knows that separating Hill and Fury would be important and disadvantage Fury significantly. 

What supports this reveal? Fury says “no one calls him Nick” and finds Bob impersonating Talos and using his name Nick on the phone. Rhodey calls Fury Nick when he fires him. This could be a sign of a skrull or it could be Rhodey setting Fury straight with the seriousness of what happened. Hill called him Fury at the bar in this series but we know she has called him Nick many times before. Kind of a silly thing to change for her.

We also know other people have called Fury Nick, including Tony Stark -- maybe what he means by no one calls him Nick is that anyone who does... dies? (Tony, Natasha, Maria, if skrull Rhodey is killed it’s foreshadowing and then Bob is killed by Talos) Was this just a line of Fury trying to be cool (another ‘even when i am out i am in’ line with a reference back to Captain Marvel!) maybe a total a misdirect, too or red herring! 

My guess it’s just an attempt and IMO a failing at a cool line. (he’s kind of 0/2 on this right now because “even when he’s out he’s in” despite how good that scene was wasn’t really accurate to the events that had just happened when Fury, Talos, and Hill got caught up in the trap so I wouldn’t say even when you are out you are in... because clearly CLEARLY he was not in during the bombing and this line ‘no one calls him Nick’ also not true... so maybe we are getting to the big reveal .... double Fury? I did not buy this at first but I am starting to now.  One theory out there right now is that Nick sans glasses is actually Soren and Nick with glasses is true Nick.  Except of course in the very first episode we see Nick with and without glasses around Talos and Maria so when does second Fury slip in? If that’s the case, Nick sans glasses  was the one at Maria’s funeral/body transfer and if that’s the case wooo boy, if he wasn’t really there idk. Unless there is a third Fury who went out and saved Maria and we just didn’t see that, and I am fine with that fyi. When would second Fury have tapped in? (well I guess third because of Gravik’s Fury) 

  We also see have a scene where Priscilla is on the phone asking to speak to Gravik. Some people say this was Rhodey’s voice I rewatched and can hear that it is Rhodey for sure. The tension between Rhodey and Fury is very good and would be interesting to flesh out. If Rhodey is being impersonated by a skrull this can explain how a skrull Ross infiltrated and was able to contact Hill---this still wouldn’t totally explain skrull Ross calling Hill for an extraction unless they wanted to involve Fury?  I keep going back to this initial sequence for a reason, because it matters!!  There are a lot of gaps here in how these events came to be. 

Gravik’s plan to out G’iah works and he tries to kill her but we know at least that Emilia will be back in the show. Some are saying she comes back as a super skrull because she was in the lab!  If they bring G’iah back as a super skrull i think that would be kind of dumb.  If G’iah is for real dead this binds Fury and Talos in their fight against Gravik even more ~CUTE~ that these men are being motivated by their complicity in the deaths of women in their lives that they paternal relationships with. Such a dangerous way to display these kind of relationships and pretty lazy FYI. This may also explain the Maria and G’iah encounter in the tunnel which is such an awkward unexplained scene so far. These two women intertwine allegedly on the same side (unknown to them) and then are killed (or believe they are killed) by men in their lives with paternal relationships to them. 

Fury knows his wife is a skrull. Fury is relatively happy for having watched his bff die in his arms and then being fired and is now eating eggs and tomatoes which he later calls dog food when he sees Talos in the diner. Hm.

Knowing there is no Maria in this episode it is hard to pay attention. I am holding out because IMBD credited Cobie in episodes 4 and 6 after her death in episode 1 but then it reverted back to episodes 1-6. 

Notice: We also see a green and red wine bottle on Sonya’s desk. Not dissimilar to the green and red beer bottle we saw with Maria at the bar!  This may be an indication of a ‘skrull in the room’ OR that if a character has a red and green bottle or item that they will be killed by a skrull and we have seen Sonya wear green and red before unlike Hill whose color scheme was blue and white (or very light gray and blue)  Sonya is relatively fine being bugged by Fury. She’s chill that that WWIII is about to start, and so is Talos, so let’s talk about dogs--dogs come up a lot with Talos.

Definitely a change in tone in this one and not really for the better. I love Talos and Fury together but I think they need Hill to cut up the banter or set them both straight because some of it is kinda ugh.   Talos pulls a Thor in Endgame TYPICAL men. Maria never would have let that happened and probably would never let Fury take a child hostage, and to be honest i have a hard time believing Fury would take a child hostage.  Especially because Fury has figured out that Bob is a skrull so why would taking his human son hostage matter? Is Bob’s son a skrull or is this fake Fury / Soren and Soren knows that acting as a person for a long time will invest those emotions into the skrull actor. It seems more like a skrull move than a Fury move to be honest. Overall, the stakes feel relatively low during this allegedly tense start of WWIII moment probably because it is a fake plot. We don’t even know how Fury got these plans but we are to assume it is from him listening or getting a read on Priscilla’s phone in the early scenes when he was wearing his glasses. 

AND we are 2/2 for killing the women in this show. You know they will bring Emilia back and not Maria/Cobie and I realized it the second she was shot also there was do dramatic pan out bleeding sequence. LET ME TELL YOU IT’S GONNA BE DUMB if it’s because she’s a super skrull and not because we are getting to know the person who G’iah stole the identity of. Tbh when people said they felt nothing for Maria Hill dying I was like HOW COULD YOU! THIS IS EVERYTHING 12 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING HER SAVE AVENGERS AND I AM STILL TALKING ABOUT IT 3 WEEKS LATER.  I know G’iah or at least Emilia is coming back. I think a lot of people presume Hill is coming back because of Coulson and Fury also returning from death (Fury two times) Additionally, Sharon Carter also survived a bullet to the gut. The people around Hill always returning is probably a sign that she in fact, will not. Additionally all of the trailer in the footage or clips we have seen of Hill have been used in the first episode (except for the opening scene in the teaser trailer at the bar which is different than the scene in Episode one!) 

Part of me is like I can’t believe I was ever excited for this show. 

Theories I may have to throw out or edit: Talos set Maria up to ice Fury out. It seemed possible in the first two episodes as we still don’t know how Gravik got his details about Fury returning but of course the show is setting it up that Priscilla with Rhodey are the double spies with Gravik. Since we actually don’t know Priscilla it’s not a super interesting set up that Priscilla is the traitor. It would be much more interesting to see the tension between Fury and Talos, Fury and Rhodey, or Fury and Hill tbh.

I do like this theory that one Fury is Soren and that would explain why I am really excited about a twist that Talos and Fury have been having a secret affair for years because they definitely have something going on.

The Maria G’iah Swap theory I think is potentially out maybe it is a symbolic scene about Gravik killing G’iah.  If the G’iah body woman allegedly Abbigal Brand is true then she’s on Fury and Talos’ side this would also explain why the had to kill off Hill in episode 1 because for some reason in spy thrillers there is a rule where there can’t be two women---there can only be one?? This is still true in 2023 apparently and as the lead in TO THE MARVELS WHERE THERE ARE THREE LEADING WOMEN. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Overall this one was a 3/5 for me. A lot of people seemed to really like it but idk it did not hit for me, i’m a sore loser over Maria. I did think there were some good parts but overall I didn’t think it was cut very well and some the lines were rough. I know the WWIII plot was a fake out for Gravik to get G’iah but have you ever felt lower stakes for the start of a major international incident before? And uh shooting women must be like a Gravik kink or something, has he even shot any men? Also why do these men keep doing dumb shit to hurt the women in their lives and do them so dirty, Since it was revealed that G’iah was actually in contact with Talos, Talos calling her for the intel seems like a definite way to get her killed but as we know from Far From Home Talos is actually really kind of bad at anticipating what’s going to happen. 

Oh my only remaining theory: misdirect vs trope on the Maria fridging still leaning hard that this is a classic trope that we hate but given the marketing I will give it a 1/5 chance that marvel pulls some cool twist. The director did say Hill “played a big role” in it, but since her time in the first episode and Fury being mostly unaffected by her death (at least it seems that way and if there are two Furys this could explain the disconnect) and it coming up only two times in the second episode and no times in the third episode does this mean a big role or reveal is yet to come? There’s basically very few to none Maria theories out there on the popular breakdown videos so I guess I will just keep advancing them here. 

No special guest star billing for Cobie on this one so we know IMDB is just lying to us, and I guess that hurts more not seeing special guest star than it does seeing it. This is definitely the weakest episode so far.

Previous chapter.

Next chapter.

Kathleen sighed, she felt like when she was a kid and her parents took her to "secret work meetings"; which most of the time were meetings with other mutants and they let her play with the other kids, very few times they were projects, but they still let her hang out with the other kids there; now they were outside Doctor Henry "Hank" Pym's house waiting for him to open the door for them.

It had been a while since she had seen that family, she vaguely remembered Hope, sometimes she took care of her when her parents worked together, when Pym opened the door it was hard for her to recognize him, he looked older than she remembered.

“ Why did you ask me to come, Doctor Pym? My dad just told me you needed my powers," she asked curiously, she didn't know anything about the quantum world, so she didn't think it could be useful.

“I need you to go to this man's audience and read his mind, he may need it in the future," asked the old man as he handed her a folder with some information.

“Scott Lang? Doesn't look like someone important, Hank," Nozomu remarked, peeking out to see what his daughter was reading.

“That's why I need your daughter’s help, I'm sure she will know how to evaluate if she is competent or not, you yourself have told me the things that could happen," Pym explained.

Then she agreed, in a week it was Scott's hearing, she would improvise something to escape.

“I never understood why several people complained about Dr Pym if he is nice," she said to her parents when they left.

He smiled, sometimes she was still so innocent, even after all she had been through.

Meanwhile, at the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gym, the training for that day had already started, Steve was worried because Kath didn't show up, he sent messages to her cell phone with some work, since he wasn't used to using the device yet, but he didn't receive any answer.

Forty-five minutes later Fury entered the place, it was rare to see him around, and with his only good eye, he looked for her without finding him.

“Captain Rogers, Commander Rumlow “he called them, and they approached”. Where is agent Anzai? “asked the director.

“Agent Anzai asked permission to leave because she was feeling sick," Brock informed, Steve looked at him astonished, he did not understand why she had not told him.

“ Did she feel sick or did you two make her sick? “Fury stared at the Commander. Rumors run fast in the corridors “he left before the pair could react and say something.

Kath was just entering her house when she received a message from Brock telling her that Fury had been looking for her, she also saw the one from Steve; internally she was glad that Brock had given a credible excuse, but now she would have to manage to avoid Steve's interrogation.

He went in to take a bath to relax, it worked so well that he didn't notice when Steve arrived, nor when he called her, the fact that he hadn't received any answer upset and worried him that he started to look for her in all the rooms, many things had gone through his mind since she was unconscious somewhere in the house until she had been kidnapped, without thinking about it he entered the only place that was needed; When she heard the door open abruptly, Kath woke up startled, she had fallen asleep in the bathtub, she looked up to see who had entered and screamed loudly when she saw Steve in front of her, he immediately turned completely red when he saw her naked and she pulled a towel trying to cover herself.

“I'm s-sorry... i-it w-wasn't my i-intention... I thought something bad had happened to me... R-Rumlow said you were feeling bad," she tried to apologize as she walked towards the door with her eyes closed.

“Steve, watch out, the... wall... “she warned him at the exact moment when the supersoldier crashed into the wall.

After he left the bathroom, she turned to see herself in the mirror, she was completely red, she had never been so embarrassed with him, although internally she had been amused, she could even say that she liked him seeing her, did Steve like seeing her like that, she shook her head vigorously to clear those thoughts from her mind, she had to get dressed quickly and go to apologize to him.

“Steve," she called to him in a sweet voice, he didn't dare to look at her, "I'm sorry for what happened a few moments ago," she felt nervous.

“It's my fault, I should have knocked first, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that Rumlow said you didn't go to the training because you felt bad and I thought something bad happened to you “his face was still red.

“When there are a lot of people and their minds are noisy and I end up with a migraine, I'm really sorry about what happened, the bath helps me with the discomfort “she apologized again.

The day of Scott's trial she was there, he had been sentenced guilty and would be locked up for three years, it seemed unfair to her, and he tried to stop them from continuing to cheat people. From what she had heard in Scott's mind, she deduced that if he would serve what Hank wanted, in fact, she could tell he was the perfect candidate. His next stop was Pym's house again to brief him on the situation.

Steve sighed, he felt that he was betraying Peggy with what he felt, but there was something that made him uneasy, sometimes it seemed as if a long time ago, before entering the army, he had met Kathleen and that she had a lot of importance in his life, that had no logic, the resemblance of her with Katherine was too much, but Katherine he met at the same time as Peggy without counting that the dates did not coincide so it was more than impossible.

When Kathleen arrived home what she saw made her feel very sad, she was having a hard time understanding her feelings to see that scene, Steve had fallen asleep on the couch and in one hand he had the compass open with Peggy's picture and on the small table the card.

Sometimes she didn't know if she had done the right thing, it hurt her that she was not reciprocated or at least she thought so, she went straight to her room without saying anything.

“ What should I do? “She asked herself while she looked at the pictures of Nico, Clarice, Saori and the twins, if they were there they could advise her, she missed them so much, then she turned to one of the corners of the room and gave a sad smile to her friends, she kept the pictures where she always hid them and got under the covers to pretend she was sleeping.

“Kathy? “He entered the room and found that she was "asleep", he brushed her hair out of her face and gave her a little kiss on the cheek, but close to the corner of her lips. Rest well, doll," he murmured very softly, almost inaudibly.

Captain Marvel: Part Ten

Pairing: Carol Danvers x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~2.4k

Warnings: canon violence and angst

Author’s Note: For the sake of the rewrite, Howard and Maria Stark dies on December 16, 1997 instead of 1991. Tony is 23 when they die.

x

Maria knows she has to do this with her best friend, so she calls her parents over to take care of her daughter. Maria tries to come up with an excuse as to why she's asking this, and you and Carol are off to the side with Monica.

"Your Mom's lucky. When they were handing out kids, they gave her the toughest one. Lieutenant Trouble," Carol smiles.

"You remembered!"

Carol had a whole life here without you, and seeing her with her other family gives you joy, but it also brings you pain when you think of how she was taken and the fact that she was taken in the first place.

"Is that mine?" Carol asks, noticing the jacket sitting on Monica's lap. The little girl starts to hand it over, but your girlfriend protests. "Oh, no. You hang onto it until I come back. There is something that I need your help with. I can't wear these Kree colors anymore, and since you're obviously the only person around here with any sense of style, why don't you give me a makeover?"

Carol stands and presses a few buttons on her wrist device that changes the colors of her outfit. Monica reaches over to try and goes through possible combinations such as bright red and grey stripes, orange, blue and yellow, black with neon stripes, and white with green stripes. None of them are the one until Carol sees the outfit Monica is wearing.

Red, blue, and gold.

"Well, since we're on the same team, why not those colors?" 

Monica messes with the device once more, and Carol's suit changes to red and blue with a gold star on the front. This is it. This is the suit and colors that best suit her. She kind of reminds you of Steve when he got his suit, but you push back those painful memories of your best friend.

"How do I look?"

"Fresh," Monica smiles.

"We need to get going. Yon-Rogg will be here soon," you say.

Carol and Monica say their final goodbyes before everyone boards the big aircraft. Talos' science guy stays behind to pretend to be Carol to stall Yon-Rogg for however long. He knows he's going to die when he figures it out, but he's willing to risk his life if it means Talos gets home safe.

Since you're such a terrible pilot, Maria and Carol are at the front while you, Fury, Talos, and Goose are in the back. Fury is petting and comforting the animal while Talos stares at him with horror in his eyes.

"You know, you really shouldn't have that thing on your lap."

"Our little alliance with you is tenuous at best. As long as she continues to freak you out," Fury picks up the cat and shoves her in Talos' face, and the Skrull jerks back in fear, "like that, I'm gonna keep giving her all the love and hugs she needs, right?"

"Can I ask you two something?" Maria asks the two shapeshifters on board. "Do you just turn into anything you want?"

"I have to see it first."

"Those are my rules as well."

"Can you all do it?"

"Physiologically, yeah, but it takes practice and dare I say it, talent to do it well."

"Maria, I wasn't born like this. I was given a serum that gave me these powers, so there is only one of me."

"Can you turn into a cat?" Fury asks Talos.

"What's a cat?"

"That's a cat," you point to Goose. 

"That's not a cat."

"What about a filing cabinet?" Maria asks. 

"Why would I turn into a filing cabinet?"

"I don't know about the Skrulls, but I can only turn into living creatures no matter how small or the kind of species. If it's alive, I can turn into them."

"What else can you do?"

"Well, apart from shapeshifting, I am able to control the four main elements. Whatever you want to call it, I can do a lot of pretty awesome stuff."

"A venus fly trap!" Fury exclaims, still on the topic of shifting into things. "I'll give you $50 right now if you turn into a Venus fly trap."

"Switching engines from Scramjet to fusion. Buckle up, folks," Carol advises.

Everyone buckles up in case something goes wrong, and Carol lurches forward at high speeds. Due to the severe altitude, everyone is pushed back into their seats. The plane jerks like how a commercial airplane would.

"Is this normal? Like space turbulence?" Fury asks.

"Pretty much," Carol answers.

Talos grabs Fury's attention and shakes his head to say that this isn't normal. The plane continues to fly upward, and as soon as the plane reaches just outside Earth's atmosphere, the plane stops producing the flames needed in order to fly. Everything inside the plane starts floating due to the lack of gravity. Yours, Carol's, and Maria's hair float along with a few pens that weren't locked down. If you hadn't buckled in when you did, you too, would be floating in mid-air. Similarly, Goose is floating upside down until Fury extends his arm, which Goose eagerly grabs onto. Then, Maria flicks a switch and gravity suddenly turns on inside the plane.

"Locking in the coordinate grid," Carol announces.

However, the only thing in front of you is an empty pad of space. Maybe the coordinates are wrong or maybe the lab moved because it's not here anymore. 

"Where is it?"

"It's here. It's gotta be here," Talos panics. 

"Is it in front of all that nothing or behind it?" Fury asks sarcastically.

There has to be some reason why the coordinates led you to this empty space. Carol presses some buttons on her wrist device, and the process of decloaking begins. If this is where the coordinates are, and there is nothing here, then it must be invisible.

"Decloaking activated," the computer chirps.

Suddenly, a bright light appears from the empty space, and a massive laboratory becomes visible. The title "Mar-Vell's Laboratory, Kree Imperial Cruiser" appears on the screen inside the spaceship. Carol flies closer to the laboratory only to realize there's a loading dock for incoming ships. Once secured inside, you five leave the ship in curiosity.

"Are we alone?" you ask when you walk into the main room. Across the room is the Tesseract connected to a big machine, and you walk closer to it with tears in your eyes. This is what you've been waiting for for almost one hundred centuries. "I can't believe after all this time, it's been here. I thought this was in the ocean."

"Is that it? The core?" Maria asks. 

"In her notes, she called it the Tesseract."

"This thing made me who I am today. This thing gave me my powers. This thing has been a pain in my ass this whole time!" you yell.

"It's okay," Carol whisper and puts her hand on your shoulder for comfort. 

"No, it's not okay, Carol. This thing needs to be destroyed. All this thing is going to cause is pain."

Carol understands where you were coming from, but in order to understand its power, it needed to be saved. She grabs the cube and throws it in the air only to catch it like it was a fucking baseball and not a killing machine. This thing killed your best friend and boyfriend. 

"Whoa. What was Lawson doing with all this kid stuff?" Maria asks and picks up a metal lunchbox.

Carol takes it from her, places the Tesseract inside, and locks it. You look around and take in your surroundings. There is something about this place, something off. On the glass table near the corner of the room is a mug with steaming hot tea in it.

You aren't alone.

"We're not alone."

Talos begins to sing loudly in his native tongue, and a swarm of scared Skrulls appears from their hiding places. An older one into the arms of Talos. If you had to assume, you'd guess that she is his wife, girlfriend, or sibling. 

"Talos!" 

"Soren," he sighs and hugs her tightly. 

"He didn't come for the Tesseract." Soren calls forth a child, probably her own, and the child makes herself known willingly. Talos leans down to get a better look at the child with a huge smile on his face. "This is his family."

"We didn't know what to do. Mar-Vell warned us not to send a signal for any reason or the Kree would find us," Soren explains painfully.

"You did the right thing," Talos whispers.

When the excitement of the family reunion wears off, Soren notices the group Talos came in with. She grabs her child and holds her protectively, even when Talos calms her down.

"It's okay, it's okay. She's alright. She's a friend. They all are."

"I'm not gonna hurt you. We're not going to hurt you," Carol says.

"They led me to you."

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know."

"If only I had known," you sniffle.

"Carol, Y/N, this is war. My hands are filthy from it, too, but we're here now. You two found my family. This is just the beginning. There are thousands of us separated from each other. Scattered throughout the galaxy."

Another Skrull child approaches Carol once she knows it's safe and took her hand. She directs her over to a pinball machine in the corner. The child points to the high score in glowing lights and points to herself to say she won that many points.

"If I played the same pinball machine for six years I'd have some high scores too," Fury comments.

Suddenly, the doors to the lab open and Yon-Rogg and his team march through with determination. Upon seeing the Kree, Fury draws his gun but Minn-Erva already had hers directed at him. She gestures to him to drop it and he has no choice but to listen. Talos put his family behind him but Yon-Rogg couldn't care less about them right now. No, he's only interested in you and Carol. Seeing his bitch-ass face makes you see red, and your eyes shine red like fire as your hands glow the same color.

"Fraternizing with the enemy? Don't be stupid, Y/N, you'll kill everyone here," he points out. It's true. If you used your powers, you'll blow this entire ship to pieces. "What did you do to your uniform?"

"They got in her head. Just like we thought," Minn-Erica says. 

"Oh, shut it, bitch," you growl.

"The Supreme Intelligence will set her straight," Korath says. 

"You can see they're not soldiers, let them go. You can have me," Talos tries negotiating.

"And the core?"

"You lied to me," Carol glares. 

"I made you a better version of yourself. What's given can be taken away," Yon-Rogg grins.

Carol tries as hard as she can to light up her fists, but they shortened out as if someone is controlling her powers from a distance. You notice something on her neck, something like a small device that is suppressing her powers. She doesn't know it's there or else she'd have taken it off a long time ago.

You turn to the other Kree and give them a malicious grin.

"I may not be able to use my fire power, but I have other ones."

The air around all of the Kree's heads begins to thin out while the air in the room stays the same. If they can't breathe, they can't fight. All of them gasp for air and fall to the ground, and you have to hold back your laughter. You're too busy focusing on them that you don't see Yon-Rogg sneak up behind you. He stabs something in the back of your neck, eliminating your powers for the moment.

"I've been waiting for this moment since I first saw you," he whispers.

He turns the device on and sends shockwaves down your body. With both you and Carol out of commission, the Kree can finally get what they came here to get.

When you wake up, you're not in Mar-Vell's ship anymore. No, you're in an all too familiar room with endless glossy floors and lights that descend from above. The man with jet-black hair stands in the middle of the room. Why does he look so familiar? When you think back to where you might know him, your head gets fuzzy and you get the worst headache ever.

Someone or something removed those memories from your head.

"There she is. I've got to say, I'm quite disappointed in you," the Supreme Intelligence says.

"There is no honor. The promise you made to me about honor and responsibilities is all a lie."

"Despite that, you performed well. You got us to the enemy. Thanks to you and jazz hands, those insidious shapeshifters will threaten our borders no more."

"I can't believe I ever thought the Kree would have the ability to change their ways. You're just as bad as Ronan. The Skrulls are just fighting for a home. You want to destroy them for what? Not submitting to your rules? Well, Carol and I won't do it."

You run at the man to attack him, but you go flying into the wall behind you with a flick of his wrist. You stick to the wall like glue so you're not going anywhere.

"It's cute how hard you try," he chuckles. "We needed you on this mission so you could lead us to the Tesseract. The power inside your veins wouldn't allow you to stay away. Plus, it is what you were looking for, yeah? You want to learn more about who you are and what Markus put into your body."

"How do you know about Markus?"

You slide through the sticky wall and come out on the other side where you can watch your memories play back in front of you.

"We know more than you think."

Each memory is of when Markus put you through each element trial. Through it all, the evil look on Markus' face never went away.

"You're no better than him," you turn to face the Supreme Intelligence.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Okay, you're done with this shit. You need to escape or else he will keep you here for as long as he wants. You need to escape if you want to help the Skrulls win this war.

"Do you know what the difference between me and Carol is?" The fire within you heats up slowly, and your skin glows with the embers of a thousand fires. "You've been able to control her through the device you slapped on her neck, am I right? Well, news flash, bitch, you can't control me."

[captspaceface]

Back from seeing The Marvels! Initial braindump ahead.

Let me first start by saying that it was…fun?

But man, I feel like it suffered from the same problem as all recent Marvel releases...pacing. I feel like this was too rushed and potentially edited down to a point where it kind of hindered the film. There wasn't enough time spent with quite a few pivotal moments (especially the heavier moments because GOD FORBID MARVEL YOU LET SOMETHING BE HEAVY WITHOUT BREEZING PAST IT IMMEDIATELY). This could have been fleshed out more in certain areas. It was too surface-level to me which is disappointing but this is a universal Marvel issue though so nothing new here.

Brie + Teyonah + Iman had great chemistry. Loved every bit of it. I mean the training montage was cute.

Fight choreography was fun to watch (effects were a little rough during all the switching though).

IT'S NICE TO SEE FURY BE SILLY AGAIN. He's only like this with Carol and I love it so much but I still wanted more of those two. Their little banter/argument on the ship was hilarious I just wanted more of them because I love their dynamic so much.

Goose is a goddamn menace.

Dar-Benn, while another forgettable villain...I get her motive but still murder. Again, I wish she was fleshed out more because she really did have a legit reason to be pissed at Captain Marvel

Valkyrie/Carol was total fanservice AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. YOU GOT ME. FANFIC WRITERS TAG ME I WANT IT ALL. THERE WAS NOTHING STRAIGHT ABOUT THAT MOMENT. I NEED DETAILS NOW LADIES.

Guys...I'm just going to say it. I hated the Aladin (Aladna? what was it called? THE WATER PLANET) scene. It was just too cringe for me. Not a fan.

I KNEW Carol was on Earth with Maria while Monica was blipped. It didn't make sense for her not to be. But again, thanks to that good ol' Marvel pacing, WE JUST BREEZED PAST THIS PIVOTAL REVEAL AND I AM STILL ANNOYED ABOUT IT. Also? Endgame haircut reason confirmed.

Oh and Goose being with Maria the whole time...ugh my heart.

Kamala recruiting the Young Avengers is adorable and I LOVE THAT KATE IS FIRST MY GIRL I'VE MISSED HER.

I wish I could get excited about X-men but I don't trust Marvel right now.

Carol wrestling with the consequences of her actions (and the damage she’s caused, being known as “annihilator” across the universe and the guilt that comes with that)…again, I wish they would have spent more time with this because that's a central character attribute of hers that should be explored deeper. There’s so much meat there and I’m just left here starving. Like, the moment when she yells at Kamala about how they have to save as many Skrulls as they can which isn’t all…that’s a big-time Captain call that once again, has consequences and fallout. THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT. Maybe if she had her own proper sequel which we probably won't ever get now. Do I sound bitter?

I'm seeing it again on Saturday (is it bad I don’t really feel compelled to though now) so now that I know what happens maybe I can settle and enjoy it more? I don’t know. Like I said in the beginning, it was fun, light, charming…but overall? This came across too superficial to me. I mean I’m not asking for a 3 hour movie just more depth. I just love Carol Danvers so much, I’ll always want more okay??

Before I wrap this up though, SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO WARDROBE. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE CROPS TOPS AND THOSE DAMN RED GYM SHORTS. YOU DID A GIRL GOOD.

Space love

Pairing: Carol Danvers x Reader

Summary: When you befriend a certain space adventurer, and end up catching feelings for her.

Warning: 18+ (General), fluff

Word count: 831

“Where’s Fury?”

Her voice was strict at first, perfectly mimicking her posture, and hair golden as when she glows vividly. Fear surfaces within her eyes, gaze pointed at the device then at those curious stares upon her unexpected arrival. You lifted your hand first, introducing yourself as one of the few to had activated the old pager. It takes seconds before her lips curls, and hands meet yours.

Captain Marvel graze your hand, and Carol Danvers left your mouth after it was just you and her.

You formed a very favourable friendship with the brawny woman, and such attention from her—was simply irresistible. The proof present itself from her welcoming smile towards a stranger, humour lightening her darken feature woken from a dreadful circumstance, and the expressions on her face, so easily, leaving your mind to spiral of every possible reason for her everlasting tenderness towards you.

You felt fortunate, despite the cruel reality of lives buried without bodies or souls living unhappily. It was enough for you to accept faith and immerse yourself of a gifted chance with life. While grief and disappointment leave an open wound, Carol unknowingly seeps her nectar into your heart, her soothing voice and words of such delicacy. Your only regret during those periods of endless darkness were failing to convey the whirls of emotions that sparks when she met your eyes or worse, when she beams of golden brighter than the sun above and your eyes glimmer of hope.

“I can show you around space,” she offered suddenly, watching over the daybreak of a war’s end. “I know places,” she winked and nudge your shoulder with hers.

You felt the warmth on your neck travel to your checks, “Maybe…”

The conversation faded into air of unfulfilled wishes. Someone had called for her name and a charming smile on her face as she waved at you before stepping away. You stared into the ground, cursing the dirt for holding her while your hands ache for her.

Partial separation from friends and family, reuniting and lives awakening, you never cooled your body from the warm of her close by—even when she left earth in her mighty thump of Captain Marvel. You could bear to part from her, months of conversation to years and before those painful years, you had never knew of her.

It should be fine to feel an emptiness gnaw your insides. A lingering memory of her laughter as your hand wrapped around her bicep and the twitch of her muscle beneath your touch. The fluttering of your heart when her face was merely inches away from yours, heart straining to meet the gap.

But neither reached a happy ending.

Perhaps, trying to forget was the first indication that you shouldn’t.

“I have some news,” Natasha equipped with a mischief glint in her eyes. The question of her words left as gasped when the familiar pager was held in her hand. “But you have to promise me something…” she added, a pointed look of seriousness adorns her features.

“What promise?”

Natasha gestures for your hand as she places the pager and close your hand around it. “Promise me that…you would try and not hide away from this,” she carefully said, her tone of warmth and a friend, someone you were immensely lucky to know.

You silently nodded, “I promise.”

A pat on your hand and a warm smile, you were left with your thoughts and the painfully old pager in your hand that inches you towards an emotional mess. Taking a deep breath and whispering a gentle prayer to whoever’s watching as your hands tremble, you slowly unfold your hand for the device.

[ SPACE ADVENTURE at 7.P.M. ? ]

You wondered if your mind was falsely giving you images of what you wished to see—till you hear the familiar sound behind you, heavy steps and the hint of golden in the glass reflection in-front of you. Cautious as ever, you carefully turn to meet her, the same suit of blue, yellow, and red, then wide eyes glimmer of nervousness as she held her hand out.

“Is that a yes?”

You shake your head, watching the seconds of her face falling to sorrow before flinging yourself into her body. Hands easily grasps her face while hers falls on your waist. Lips meet furiously, forcing untold feelings to spill between the sheer jolted of surprise from her and the eagerness from you.

“You’re something else,” she muttered, before pressing another alluring kiss to your mouth.

And she is—a dream, the glow of which your heart ache for more, even when she swipes you off the earth’s crusted land and into the clouds of heavens above. Her eyes of brown, stayed on yours and searching for something unknown, only to expel those questions with the gentle meet of mouth.

Kisses after another, her touch graze your bare skin and heart.

“Okay,” you smiled giddily, “I like space…but I like you more.”

Earth X #2

I’m seeing a couple Things, a Giant-Sized Thing, a bearded Doom, and a whole lot of Kirby krackle. This issue must focus on the Fantastic Four.

What does this Bad Future have in store for the first family of Marvel? Nothing good, probably.

First of all, yes, Uatu is still being a massive prick. To Aaron Stack specifically and also just in general.

When Uatu is recapping the concept of the Fantastic Four for Aaron/the audience, he scornfully calls Reed’s concern for Ben Grimm something that limited Reed.

I thought Uatu liked the superheroes of Earth but he’s had a bad couple years, getting mysteriously blinded and all. Still though.

The Inhuman royal family shows up on Ben Grimm’s doorstep on their quest to find the missing prince.

Ben is actually retired from the superhero game. Retired and married to Alicia with two mini Thing children.

Alicia herself was affected by the mass empowering event. She’s got Kirby krackle eyes and can imbue life in her sculptures.

The Inhumans ask what the heck happened to the Fantastic Four while they were gone and Ben shares the sad story.

The mass empowering caused food shortages. I dunno if it’s because everyone needed so many more calories or whether the supply lines were just disrupted.

Consequently, countries began fishing EVEN MORE to feed their citizens. Which was related to the ocean and so pissed off Namor.

When the UN met to discuss the food crisis, Namor asked for a seat at the table. But the UN didn’t recognize Atlantis as a real place and told him to fuck off.

So Doom was easily able to recruit Namor in a scheme to attack the UN and hold the food supply hostage.

He who controls the hamburgers, controls the world.

Captain America and the Fantastic Four jumped into action to stop them. And Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, decides he’s got Namor.

Except Namor has him.

Namor kills Johnny. Right in front of Franklin. Who I guess has never had to really reckon with death.

(You brought him to the battle? You couldn’t get a babysitter or something?)

Enraged, Franklin uses his reality manipulation powers to wish Namor was constantly on fire.

The burning fish man flees screaming into the ocean, leaving the Terrific Three and Captain America to confront Doom.

Doom tries to bargain for his life against a FURIOUS Sue by claiming he knows what caused the mass empowering and he knows how to fix it.

Reed rejects the notion in disbelief because the mass empowering, what fucked the world, was caused by an experiment he was running to use vibranium to bring free energy to the world. Surely!

Vibranium altered the whole of humanity on a cellular level! That’s the explanation Reed believes!

(I have some doubts, given Doom suggested an alternative theory existed but never explained it.)

And then Doom exits scene pursued by Sue and both seemingly explode.

In grief, Reed takes over as Doctor Doom. Moving into Doom’s castle in Latveria and wearing Doom’s armor and working ceaselessly on trying to fix the world.

He works with equally shut-in and beardy Tony Stark over video chat but Tony is losing hope this is a problem they can fix. That maybe this is just the new normal and they’re obsolete.

These are the thoughts Tony thinks if he goes too long without shaving.

Also, in the issue, Captain America in his flag toga and Wyatt Wingfoot break into the crashed Helicarrier to use Nick Fury’s flying car to get to California to investigate the new Red Skull.

(The background info of last issue suggested that Nick Fury is dead but that there are tons of his old Life Model Decoys causing trouble around the world.)

The all-new all-different Daredevil finally appears. He’s the daredevil for a circus, the man without fear because nothing can kill him.

I cannot fathom so far why this new Daredevil gets so much focus. He appeared on the cover of issue 1 despite not appearing in person. There were posters of him in the backgrounds of some scenes in issue 1 and the Thing children were watching him on TV. And now he gets a whole extended sequence at the circus where the audience is invited to shoot flamethrowers at him.

Then minions of the Red Skull show up to kidnap the audience.

Hi Domino, Sunspot, and Sandman.

Guess there’s going to be some spot the cameo with Red Skull’s crowd.

Back of the book worldbuilding info: the mutated world has been great for some people. The Moloids enjoy surface tourism and revere Reed as a saint on the assumption he caused it.

The Skrulls and Kree have refugee populations on Earth after their forever war reduced both empires to a cinder.

And although the mutants were blamed for the mass empowering event, they blend in far too well to catch hate anymore.

Other popular theories were: the government caused it, a curse caused it, and evolution caused it.

So I’m assuming that none of those are correct and neither is Reed’s theory about the vibranium energy project being the cause.

There’s so many issues left. And this is the big mystery. The correct answer surely is not on the table yet.

So to sum up: Avengers dead, half the Fantastic Four dead, Captain America is wearing a toga, Norman Osborn runs America, mind control alien squid on the loose, and a new Red Skull causing trouble.

Earth X is a mess.

[3katanas]

Age: appears to be in early 20's, actually around 428+ Species: Mutant or Metahuman depending on sub-verse Abilities: Regenerative Healing Factor, Super Acute Senses, Superhuman Agility, Stamina, Strength, Durability, Speed, Reflexes Allies: Demon Hunter or the Kitsune Suit: He refuses to wear one until he's bullied into it in each sub-verse by someone. In verses where he has to hide his identity, he wears his black bandana to hide his green hair and a green mask over his eyes. * Essentially he's like Wolverine from Marvel without the claws

Born near the end of the feudal age of Japan and orphaned at a young age, Zoro would have grown up on the streets had it not been for a local dojo that took him in. Teaching him the art of the blade alongside the Sensei's daughter, marveling at how easily the art of the sword came to the young boy. His life, while not perfect, was simple. His dream was to become the greatest swordsman ever, traveling the country and defeating the legends that people spoke of with his best friend at his side.

That was until the day that she died.

It is hard to know if Kuina's death was what finally triggered the mutation within in or it the timing was simply that of fate. But days after her death, lost within his grief, Zoro began to notice changes. His strength, agility, senses and over all physical power began to grow. That however, was not the scariest change though.

No that change he learned a month later when he was jumped in a side alleyway, the older men trying to taking the white hilted blade his sensei had allowed him to begin carrying after Kuina's death. Running him through from behind and expecting him to fall. Only instead his body healed itself so quickly that there was barely any blood fell from the would. The sight causing the men to run screaming from him, calling him a Demon.

It was decades later, when he was known throughout the country as the Demon Hunter, that he realized the last truth of his strange powers. He wasn't aging.

Then, while hunting down a witch who was practicing Dark Magic, he was cursed. Sealed away by the monks who believed him to be one of her servants and put to sleep for over 400 years until a young girl, who looked exactly like his best friend, broke the seal and awoke him. Unleashing the Demon Hunter, out into the modern world.

After adapting to the new world, Zoro now works as a Bounty Hunter. Taking down the threats that normal people have been unable to or are perhaps more than they seem.

Upon awakening from the curse, Zoro keeps an eye on the young girl that resembles Kuina so much. Protecting her from the shadows as she grows into a young adolescent. Only reappearing in her life when she begins to show signs of mutant powers developing. Realizing that she is no longer safe, he helps her escape to America, having heard rumors upon the wind of a school that was safe for their kind. Upon arriving, Charles Xavier welcomes her with open arms and somehow manages to recruit him at the same time as a teacher and the newest member of the XMEN.

*due to this cinematic universe being pulled into MCU now thanks to the multiverse, threads originating in this verse will have Zoro as a Mutant as opposed to a Metahuman. All interactions with characters from the MCU will take place after the events of Ms. Marvel.

Zoro was approached several times by Nick Fury for the Avengers Initiative. Each time turning the man down since the offer came in the form of a semi threat/sales pitch. Content to remain where he was, hunting the threats from the shadows of the world as he continued to follow the dream he and Kuina had promised each other so long ago. To become the Greatest Swordsman. A title now held by Dracule Mihawk.

It wasn't until he was approached once more by Captain America who was looking for allies in an attempt to prevent the Sokovia Accords from being passed. It is the way in which Steve asks for help that causes Zoro to join him. It was not a demand or bargain, but a simple plea for help. Sensing that the man wouldn't stand in the way of his dreams, nor force him to remain after helping him. Little did he know that it would lead to him becoming an Avenger anyway. Something Fury is delighted to rub in his face all of the time.

*due to this cinematic universe blending with the XMEN Universe now thanks to the multiverse, threads originating in this verse will have Zoro as a Metahuman as opposed to being a mutant and will follow the timeline established in Ms. Marvel.

Having turned down the Bat when Bruce was originally trying to put together a team, it was Diana in the end that recruited him. Finding him in a remote area of the world where he'd been hunting down yet another ancient witch and offering him something he hadn't even realized he needed. A home and family that would accept him for what he was. The companionship of those who knew what it was like to be in a time they'd not been born in or different from those around them. For the Amazonian Princess saw the loneliness that was beginning to harden his heart, turning him from a meer hunter into the very Demon he'd been accused of being his entire life. That and she pointed out he'd have a better chance of finding Mihawk and taking his title as the Greatest Swordsman with the League's resources.

Let's just say that being an ancient metahuman from fuedal Japan clearly wasn't the strangest thing that existed anymore. Nor was apparently almost getting run over by a woman shooting ice from her hands.

Having tracked a bounty, a rouge metahuman that had been created in the same blast that gave Barry Allen his own powers, back to Central City he wound up running into the Flash himself when they both attempted to take down the meta. Realizing it would work better if they cooperated, he joined up with them for a few days, quickly being called the muscle of the group when people tried to ask who he was.

What he didn't expect was to fit in with the group so easily. Their friendship, so easily offered, a soothing balm on his ancient heart, causing him to accept when Barry asked him if he would stay. Stating simply that he had nothing better to do before promptly taking a nap in the corner.

*This subverse can follow a similar reason for him joining any of the other teams. Unless stated otherwise though he's Team Flash since Barry reminds him of Luffy a bit.

Steve frowns softly as he walks into his office noticing quickly that Sunshine isn’t at her desk like she normally is. He walks into his office and spots the neon blue post it note in the middle of his computer screen. Walking around his desk he sets his things down before grabbing the post-it so that he could read what she had written for him.

Working with facilities today to figure out the easiest way to get the new gear and equipment in the building. If you need anything, call me.

Steve sighed softly but then smiled when he saw the tiny little sun drawn on the post-it note underneath her words. He had wanted to talk to her about what had happened yesterday but with her working out of the office for the day he didn’t think he’d get his time with her. Hopefully she’d finish quickly and be able to come back to the office because Steve was eager to talk to her. After last night he spent hours thinking about ways he wanted to hold her and touch her. Her raspy voice was constantly in his mind either telling him exactly what she wanted him to do to her or moaning his name like it was the only word she knew. Taking in a deep breath Steve tried to calm himself down as he realized he was getting hard just thinking about her again. The phone on his desk rang and Steve reached forward and picked up the receiver without even looking at the caller I.D. screen.

“Captain Steve Rogers.” he greeted the caller with a soft frown.

“Rogers, it’s Fury we have a mission. Gather your squad and have them meet in my conference room. Agent Hill will brief you on the mission.” Fury’s voice said over the phone and Steve nodded his head along with his words.

“Of course, Director.” Steve said and the two hung up together. He sighed softly and picked up his desk phone again dialing a number that he knew by heart. “Bucky tell everyone to meet us up in Fury’s conference room. We have a mission to go on.” Steve said into the phone and listened to Bucky’s response before hanging up. He then looked down and picked up his cell phone, swiping it open he pulled up the text thread he had with Sunshine and began typing out a message to her.

Going on a mission will send you the details when I get them. I’ll see you when I get back. Steve looked down at the screen as he saw the three dots appear almost immediately on her side of the screen.

Alright, be safe Captain. Steve knew that he wanted to say more but he wanted to talk about, was something that needed to be said face to face. Sighing softly he knew that it would probably be at least a week before he could speak with her again.

*-*-*-*

Steve frowned softly as he moved down the empty hallway with his shield raised in front of him, according to Fury’s intel this warehouse should be active and full of people packaging the mind controlling gas that their target Ashton Calum, a scientist who created the mind controlling gas to be able to sell it on the black market. But the warehouse is empty and by the looks of it they had all left in a hurry, supplies and packaging materials were left abandoned where they stood. Kicking one of the shipping crates Steve gritted his teeth in anger as Bucky entered the same room Steve was in on the opposite wall.

“Fury’s intel is bad.” Bucky said darkly and Steve nodded his head slowly. Sighing softly Steve rubbed a hand down his face slowly in exasperation. It had already been a week and a half of them following the intel that Fury had given them on Ashton, and each step of the way they were too late to catch him. It was as if he was always one step ahead of them each time they got close. Steve was getting frustrated with this mission dragging on. Not only was it concerning about this mind controlling gas possibly getting onto the black market but he was also tired of being away from Sunshine and the conversation he wanted to have with her.

“Natasha, we need better intel.” Steve said into the comm device in his ear. “I need you to gather any information you can about this guy and start reaching out to your sources.”

“On it.” Natasha chirped back to him quickly and Steve nodded his head. He stored his shield on his back and stood in the middle of the room with his hands on his hips surveying the room. He sighs knowing that this is probably going to set them back another couple of days. He swings his leg out, kicks another crate across the floor and Bucky looks over to him with furrowed eyebrows.

“You alright punk?” he asks cautiously and Steve huffs softly before turning towards him.

“Yeah, just frustrated that this is going to set us back more.” Steve replies and Bucky nods his head.

“Well let’s get going so that we can unwind and relax. Natasha will definitely get us better intel. Fury’s gonna be pissed though that we had Natasha get it though.” Bucky said knowingly and Steve shrugged his shoulders as he gestured outwards to the empty warehouse.

“He’ll have to deal with it. It’s better to get good intel than to keep chasing after this guy with bad intel.” Steve said resolutely and Bucky nodded his head as the two of them began to make their way out of the room together. 

“Are you sure it’s just the bad intel?” Bucky asked softly as they moved down the hallway back towards the exit and Steve frowned softly at the question.

“I want to get back already. This shouldn’t be taking this long. I want to talk to Sunshine about what happened before we left.” Steve confessed softly and Bucky smirked at him knowingly. Steve had already told Sam and Bucky about what had happened between Steve and Sunshine, the two men eagerly trying to boost Steve’s confidence that Sunshine would be agreeable to something happening between them. Steve was still unsure about things but after listening to Bucky and Sam he felt slightly better at his chances with Sunshine.

The two of them met back up with Sam and Wanda at the safe house that they had all been holding up in. Natasha had already left to get the intel from her local sources leaving the four of them to just relax and unwind together. Steve found himself lounging on one of the couches while an old sitcom rerun played on the television in the room. He stared at the television not really seeing the show and began to let his mind wander. Sunshine was once again at the forefront of his mind.

Steve had kicked in one of the doors in the warehouse and found Sunshine tied to a chair with a blindfold tied around her eyes, her skirt had been ripped up the side to her hip showing off her smooth skin while her blouse was missing the top two buttons causing it to gape open over her chest. Steve’s eyes eagerly raced up and down her form as she squirmed after hearing him kick in the door.

“Please, I don’t know anything.” she pleaded with him and Steve felt arousal race down his spine after seeing the state of her attire.

“Sunshine, it’s alright. It’s me, Steve. I’m here to save you.” he said swiftly as he stepped over to her and pulled down the blindfold. She blinked up at him as her eyes squinted against the light in the room. Her whole body seemed sag in the chair she was tied to when she recognized him.

“Captain.” she breathed out relieved and Steve felt his cock harden in his suit. He moved around her and began untying the binds around her wrists. When he was done he eased her arms slowly back in front of her body and began to massage them as he loomed over her from behind. He tried to keep his eyes on her wrists while massaging them but when she groaned and leaned back in the chair resting the back of her head against his abdomen he got a clear shot down her torn blouse. Her breasts were heaving slightly with the relieved breaths she was sucking in and Steve bit his bottom lip at the motion of her body. “Thank you.” she whispered out to him and Steve directed his eyes to her grateful ones.

Nodding his head Steve watched as she turned in the chair and kneeled up on the seat so that her head was closer to his. Her hands crawled up his broad chest over his navy blue suit until they came  to entwine behind his neck and she smiled prettily up at him.

“How can I ever repay you?” she asked him in a seductive tone that made electricity race down his spine. He stared down into her eyes as she fluttered her eyelashes at him and Steve had to bite back a moan as he thought about all the way she could repay him. “How about a kiss to start?” she asked with a slow smile forming on her mouth. Steve leaned down towards her as her head tilted further upwards to his, their lips grazing slightly in a gentle tease. Steve couldn’t hold back as he lunged forward and captured her lips in a scorching kiss causing her mewl softly at his actions. Steve’s arms wrapped around her frame and lifted her easily in the air as he moved around the chair to sit down with her nestled in his lap. Her legs fell open his thick thighs and her skirt rode up to her hips exposing her purple silk underwear to him while her core sat on top of his crotch. Steve groaned into the kiss as she ground her hips down into his, causing him to buck upwards into her. “Please Captain, let me repay you.” she begged him and Steve sucked in a harsh breath as he felt her hands gripping his utility belt around his waist. 

Steve eagerly helped her undo the lower half of his suit. When she had managed to get it undone he listed his hips and she slid the material down to his knees before he took a seat again. His hard cock has slid up between the two of them and Sunshine moaned wantonly to him as his cock stood straight up between her covered core and his abdomen. Steve grunted softly as he watched her lift up on his lap before reaching down between her legs and pulling her underwear to the side, she then lined his cock up with her entrance and slid downward until he was fully encased by her dripping wet cunt. The two of them moaned loudly together as her walls throbbed around his hard as steel cock trying to suck him further inside of her. Steve stayed as still as possible as he waited for her to get used to his size, his cock throbbed with the effort he used to stay still. Sunshine then began to move up and down on his cock causing Steve to throw his head back and gasp, her walls were like a vice as she moved on top of him staying clamped around him.

When it all became too much for her she fell forward onto his chest and moaned into his suit. Her hands gripped the leather straps around his shoulders and used them to help leverage herself over him as her hips began to piston up and down on his cock. Steve cupped the undersides of her thighs as she moved, not allowing her to fall fully onto his cock. He could see the frustration building within her as he continued to stop her from fully taking his whole cock inside her. She glared at him from her position as her hips swirled and bucked along his cock and just as he restricted her movement again she smirked at him. Steve shivered at the look on her face and then groaned loudly as she stopped all her movements and hovered on his lap before her walls began to clench and unclench around his cock.

Groaning loudly in his throat Steve bucked his hips up into her and Sunshine began to bounce on his cock once more. She leaned over him and tilted his head down so that his eyes stared into her heated gaze.

“I’m in charge of your pleasure right now. I’m repaying you right. Not the other way around Captain.” she told him darkly and Steve numbly nodded his head as he supported her body with his hands. Suddenly she slammed down onto him and clamped her walls around him harshly. Steve moaned loudly as his orgasm was pulled from him and he began to fill her with his cum, the smirk that graced her face made his orgasm prolong as he knew she had just repaid him for him saving her. He wrapped his arms around fully and bucked up into her as he continued to cum, he was desperate to make her cum as well. When he slammed his cock up into her Sunshine cried out as her walls clamped around him and Steve moaned loudly at the sensation. 

The two of them slowly came down from their highs and Sunshine limply draped herself over his body while Steve cooed into her ear that she did so well for him. His lips pressing soft kisses to her heated sweaty skin within his reach.

Steve jerked on the couch when he heard heavy footsteps coming down the hallway, he had completely submerged himself in his daydream. Grimacing slightly he felt the wet material of his boxers stick to his softening cock. He stood from the couch and quickly shut the television off before making his way towards his bedroom, he grimaced again as he passed Wanda’s bedroom and heard her shuffling against her bed. He no doubt had projected his thoughts to  her once again. Hopefully they’d get done with this mission soon and he wouldn’t have to worry about that problem anymore once he got back to Sunshine.

*-*-*-*

The ballroom is packed full of people as Steve moves about the room, the photostatic veil disguises his widely known face so that he looks like just another rich bachelor in the crowd. All the Avengers in the field are wearing the photostatic veil since they are so recognizable. Natasha and Wanda look like two gorgeous women eyeing the rich men at the party while Sam and Bucky are both the lookouts for the group keeping to the shadows outside. Tonight they’ve managed to trace their target, Ashton Calum,  to this private gala that was held for the elite billionaires interested in the black market, standing near the bar in the corner of the room. The group had managed to subdue three guests, one man and two women, so that they could attend as well thanks to Natasha’s intel she had gathered. Ashton is dressed in a black clean cut suit with a black shirt underneath and a black tie to go with it, he’s a man of smaller build and Steve eyes him disgustedly, to think this was the man who had created so much chaos all with his mind controlling gas. The woman on his arm is dressed in a low cut form fitting red silk dress that she wears like a second skin, she’s smaller than Ashton and has long wavy black hair that falls down her back in silky waves.

Steve’s eyes travel up and down the woman and imagines what Sunshine would look like in a dress like that. Frowning softly he knows that she’d go for a more jewel tone than a vibrant red like the woman had on but imaging her in that dress made his face flush slightly. Steve’s hands clenched at his sides as he imagined what it would feel like under his fingers to glide against the silky material when Sunshine wore it. He knew it’d fit her like a glove and showcase all her curves and assets that she kept hidden away under her work blouses and pants. Shaking his head he focused his eyes on the target and cleared his mind of nothing but the mission. He would have time later to think about Sunshine.

Just then a slender arm slips through his and he looks down at Wanda who smiles up at him, he knows she probably could read his mind again and he sighs softly. Her smile widens and she moves closer into his side as her eyes dart around the room surveying everything going on.

“Stay focused Steve. We’re so close to catching him. Natasha’s moving in now.” Wanda said softly to him so that only he could hear her. He nods his head with a slight grimace and she pats his arm kindly. “Don’t worry about it. We all want to get home too. You more than any of us.” she says teasingly as they both move closer to the bar to be able to lend Natasha a hand if she needs it.

“I’m sorry, I’m just frustrated it’s taken this long to get this done. Fury’s intel was incorrect and we’re the ones to have to fix it.” he said in a low tone that projected his frustration with how the mission was going. It had been three long weeks on mission and everytime they received intel from Fury it always put them one step behind Ashton Calum. They had all grown frustrated with Fury and his intel to the point that Natasha had conducted her own intel gathering which had led to here. Being as close as ever to their target they had ever been during the whole mission. Wanda nodded her head before shrugging her shoulders as she agreed with him; they were all tired of the mission and were eager for it to be over.

“That’s our job though. We’re here to prevent these things from happening. You can take it up with Fury when we get back.” she told him and Steve nodded his head as he frowned softly.

“I will be.” he told her darkly as his eyes spotted Natasha at the bar talking with Ashton. The man was eating up Natasha’s attention and Steve could see her luring him away from his date towards the doors that led out to the balcony. Steve and Wanda began to walk around in a wide circle in the opposite direction of the bar then towards the balcony doors. They nodded to the other patrons of the party and smiled kindly at them as they made their way to the edge of the balcony doors just as they closed behind Natasha and Ashton. 

Steve could hear Ashton grunting softly in the communication earpiece that he had in his left ear and Wanda smiled proudly as they both heard Ashton moan loudly. Undoubtedly due to Natasha knocking him out cold. Then Natasha’s dark voice came over the comm device.

“Target has been neutralized.” she said softly and Steve moved with Wanda to the balcony doors. They exited them without anyone noticing and began helping Natasha secure Ashton before Steve picked him up and hopped over the railing of the balcony. He fell lightly onto his feet still holding Ashton and began walking towards the meet up point for the group where Sam was waiting with a dark van. Natasha and Wanda would then make their way back into the party and lure the woman that had come with Ashton into the bathroom and knock her out before gathering any intel from her phone and her body. They would then meet up with Bucky at the entrance to the building and make their way to the van.

Due to Natasha’s intel that she had gathered before this party they had found out the hiding base where Ashton kept the rest of the gas and had sent the coordinates to a second team that had been dispatched out to collect the gas. Steve waited in the van with the unconscious Ashton and frowned tiredly at the man. Three long weeks and they were finally done with the mission, Steve could feel body slowly relaxing as he realized that they would get to go home now. He smiled tiredly and leaned back against the side of the van as he sat in the back. His mind began to wander about what Sunshine would look like in a dress similar to Ashton’s date tonight.

Steve is standing behind the bar back at the Avenger’s compound, he’s got a tumbler sitting on the bar top as he pulls out the aged whiskey from under the bar and pours himself a third of it into the glass. He hears the click of high heels on the floor and looks up to see Sunshine making her way towards him. He loses his breath as it’s sucked out of his body as his eyes take in her outfit. She’s dressed in a floor length silk deep purple dress that fits her like a second skin, accentuating all of her curves and dips that always make his mouth water. He gulps audibly and she smirks at him as she settles onto the bar stool.

“What’ll it be doll?” He asks her before he takes a sip of his whiskey. He watches her as she reaches out and takes the glass from his hand before knocking it back herself.

“I’ll have what you’re having.” She tells him sultrily and Steve leans forward on the bar top so that he’s closer to her now.

“Is that right?” He challenges her and she nods her head confidently. Steve swiftly cups the back of her head and pulls her closer as his lips slant against hers and she moans loudly into his mouth. He slips his tongue into her mouth tangling with her own tongue as he tastes the whiskey on her tongue. Her arms come and circle his neck as she leans across the bar towards him. Steve effortlessly pulls her over onto his side and nestles her between him and the bar. He crowds her there as he continues to kiss her lips heatedly, his hands glide down the material of her dress and he groans loudly at the feeling of the silk under his fingers. He begins to hike the dress up and she gasps loudly as her head tips back while his lips slide down the side of her face and down her neck. “What if I have you?” He asks her huskily and she whimpers softly at his question.

“Have me.” She pants out and Steve suddenly whirls her around so that she’s facing the bar now and her back is to him. He gathers the dress until it sits at the base of her spine and he can see that she’s only wearing a thong, his moan is loud and wonton as his hands grip her hips tightly.

He doesn’t let her settle there as he quickly unbuckles his belt and undoes his pants so that his hard heavy cock slaps against her ass cheeks. She whimpers and coos at him as her hips shift from side to side. He toys with the thong letting it snap back against her skin and she gasps loudly  before his cock slides between her cheeks. He slides her thong to the side and guides his cock along her slick folds gathering the slick along his cock before he slips it into her cunt. She cries out as her head falls back on her shoulders as he thrusts fully into her, his hand comes up and grips a handful of her hair pulling her head back to gaze up at him from her position.

He doesn’t waste any time as he fucks up into her dripping cunt while listening to the wet squelching of their movements. She gasping and panting as her head is pulled backwards while his hips pound unmercifully into her cunt. He slides his hand that’s in her hand around her neck just under her chip and cups her there so that their eyes stay connected while he fucks up into her.

“You’re mine aren’t you doll?” He asks and she coos at him as her eyes dilate with lust.

“Yes, Captain.” She answers and Steve slams into her as his orgasm is ripped from him while her walls clamp down on him and she keens loudly as her body shakes under him.

The slam of the van door wakes Steve from his daydream and sees that Nat has climbed into the back with him while Bucky, Sam and Wanda are sitting up front. Steve shakes his head slightly before meeting Wanda’s eyes in the rear view mirror.

“We’re finally going to get home.” She says with a knowing smile on her face and Steve feels the blush creep across his face.

*-*-*-*

The sound of the Quinjet’s engines starting to power down are music to all of their ears as they rise from their seats. Steve stands and pulls his cell phone out of his pocket, he had sent Sunshine a text earlier asking where she was at headquarters, he sighs softly when he sees her response letting him know that she was in the office. He quickly types out a response to tell her to stay there and that he’s on his way. 

Steve can feel his lust simmering just under his skin for his admin. After months now of thinking and daydreaming of her different scenarios he felt as if he was going to combust if he didn’t get to her now and find out if she felt the same way. He needed to unleash his pent up desire for her and he knew that if she felt the same way he would be unleashing it all on her.

The ramp of the Quinjet seemed to slowly lower as they all eagerly waited to get of the aircraft. The group was frustrated and so ready to unwind after the mission. Steve could see Agent Hill and Nick Fury waiting for the group in the hangar and Steve gritted his teeth with simmering rage. Sam and Bucky looked over at him as they spotted Fury as well, no doubt wondering if Steve was going to go off on Fury for the bad intel. But Steve had other things to take care of other than Fury. Wanda was the only one watching him with a knowing smirk on her face. Steve stalked down the ramp and Fury moved to greet him.

“Welcome back Captain, we need to debrief.” Fury said firmly and Steve shook his head as he walked closer to the Director.

“Fuck this, I have better things to take care of right now.” Steve sneered out to him as he continued past the shocked Director and a surprised Agent Hill. Steve continued walking out of the hangar and down the hallway straight for the elevator that would take him up to his office. He waited as patiently as he could while the elevator made it’s ascent but he could feel himself growing more excited as he watched the numbers light up as the elevator moved up. He could feel his cock twitching in his suit as he shifted from foot to foot with the anticipation building for him.

Finally the elevator dinged and the doors barely opened wide enough for Steve as he quickly walked out of the elevator and down the hall to his office. It didn’t take him long to stand in the doorway and spot Sunshine sitting at her desk typing away on her computer. She looked up with a furrowed brow and then her eyes cleared with a happy glint as she recognized him.

”Captain!” She greeted happily as she stood from her chair and Steve met her at the corner of her desk. He quickly grabs her hand and drags her into his office, closing and locking the door behind them before crowding her up against it. She gasps softly as she tilts her head up to stare at him with wide eyes.

“I need to know if you’re interested in me. Sexually and romantically. Because I don’t think I can hold back anymore.” He said seriously and watched as her brow furrowed slightly and then a smirk slid across her face.

“Did you finally figure it out Captain?” She asked him teasingly as her hands slid up his chest to grip the leather straps on his uniform tightly and pulled him down towards her. Her lips captured his in a heated slick messy kiss that had Steve groaning into her mouth as his body fell flush against hers and held her in place against the door.

“Fuck doll.” He breathed out to her when he felt his mind go numb.

“Language, Captain.” She teased him and Steve growled at her while his hands slid down to her skirt clad ass and lifted her up against his body as her arms wrapped around his neck.

Steve blindly turned towards his desk and swiped an arm across it to get rid off all the things that were on top of it. The loud crash made Sunshine flinch in his arms as she looked down at the mess he had made while Steve hurriedly seated her on the desk and pushed her back to lay down on it. He was panting as he slid the skirt up her hips, he knew he wouldn’t be able to wait with her not after all of the daydreams he’d been having about her.

“I won’t be able to wait. I won’t be able to prepare you.” He told her darkly and she looked up at him with a sultry look on her face as her hands glided down her body to her thighs which opened widely for him. His eyes darted down as she showed him the wet spot on her light blue panties and Steve groaned loudly while one hand fell to the bulge in his pants and palmed himself. “Damn.” He breathed out huskily and she smirked up at him.

“C’mon Captain, make me scream for you.” She simpered and Steve felt his cock harden further in his pants. He quickly unbuckled his suit as Sunshine slipped her panties down her hips and legs. She was getting ready to drop them to the floor when Steve grabbed her hand and slipped the panties from her hand and into his pocket.

“You’ll get them back when the other personnel hear you scream my name.” He husked out to her and she moaned loudly at his words. Steve then gripped under her knees and slid her across his desk to his waiting cock that fell onto her skin above her pubic bone with a loud slap.

“Won’t take long.” She whimpered out as she squirmed on his desk. He chuckled softly as he glided his cock between her wet folds and nearly groaned with how good she felt. But no matter how much he had dreamed of this reality was infinitely better. Steve guided his cock down her folds and felt himself notch inside of her as a gasp was ripped out of him.

“Oh doll. This-I’m not going to last long now. But I swear I’ll make up for it. Been dreaming about doing this to you.” He began to babble to her and she tilted her head to the side with curiosity.

“For how long?” She asked breathlessly as he began to slow push into her. Steve focused on sliding his cock fully into her and only looked up at her when he was seated within her to the hilt.

“Months.” He whispered and she moaned loudly as she arched her back against his desk.

“You mean you could’ve been fucking me months ago?!” She hissed at him as her hands clenched at the edge of the desk to try to ground herself. Steve groaned loudly and pulled back from her at her words before sliding back into her.

“Oh shit.” He hissed and began to fuck himself into her at a steady even pace. She gasped and her legs came up to hook around his waist while her heels dug into his ass.

“Oh, there! Yes Captain!” She cried out loudly and Steve groaned as he began to pick up his pace. Soon Sunshine wasn’t even saying words as she cried out loudly. Steve gripped her hips as he kept thrusting into her feeling her walls flutter around his cock, he lifted her hips slightly and when he slid his cock back into her she screamed with pleasure. Sunshine was thrashing against the desk as Steve continued to move inside of her, her hair was plastered to her forehead as sweat dripped from her body, her hips were undulating against Steve’s as he fucked her harder and she screamed as her body trembled underneath him. “C’mon Captain, fill me up.” She panted out to him as her eyes stared directly into his. “I want all of it.” She told him and Steve moaned loudly as he slammed his cock up into her as his cum spurted up into her as he came. 

Steve hovered over her as he slowly caught his breath while she panted underneath him. The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes adoringly and Steve smiled before leaning forward and capturing her lips with his. He hummed satisfied as he gathered her in his arms and pulled slowly away from her lips.

“I can’t believe we could’ve been doing that for months.” She panted out to him, her voice sounding raspy with all the screaming she had done. Steve chuckled softly at her words before tilting his head from side to side.

“That’s my fault.” He said softly and she nodded her head quickly at his words.

“Oh yes, I blame you fully for withholding yourself from me.” She teased him and Steve chuckled again while her hands came up to cup his face. “We have quite a lot of time to make for Captain.” She informed him and Steve felt his blush heat his face as she grinned at him. “Let’s go get dinner and then we can go back to my place.” She suggested and Steve grinned down at her while blinking owlishly.

“Are you asking me out to dinner?” He asked teasingly and she rolled her eyes at him.

“Well I mean after that workout you just put me through it’s the least you could do.” She teased him and Steve chuckled before pressing a sweet kiss to her lips.

“It’s a date then.” He told her and beamed at him while still laying out on his desk.

Listen to 'Without You' -by RIDERS

xxxvi: Settling Scores

Kraven had to be sedated before they could take him away. Fury and Agent Ross showed up to complete the task, now that Harley was awake, he'd been able to call for backup.

"What happened?" Cat scowled as she and Kurt mended the few bruises and scratches he had. "This was unlike you, Harley, didn't you say you took precautions?"

"I did! But he was crazy fast, Cat. He killed half of my people in like a minute, knocked me out in less than a second. I don't know how you could fight him alone..."

"I wasn't alone," Cat smiled up at the others, who were explaining who Kraven was to Fury and Ross. "My team was looking after me."

When Cat spotted the black man approaching, her posture straightened out of habit, she almost blurted out a "Hi, sir." But clenched her jaw before any sound could come out. She thought he'd be mad, she'd shown up here and there doing whatever she wanted for years, but to her surprise, Fury chortled.

"If it isn't Miss I'm-no-hero!" He taunted her, the most striking part about him was that he no longer wore an eyepatch. "How's that working for you?"

Cat felt terribly self-conscious about the logo on her back. "Alright, yeah, I might've spoken too soon..."

"No shit!" He raised a brow. "Imagine my surprise when I heard that little country prince had been saved by Copycat and her team of young Avengers!"

Cat grumbled her response like an angry kid. "What's it to ya? You're not the boss anymore..."

"So you'll be the leader?" Fury pressed, his smile evaporating. "You can provide transport, weaponry, and contacts?"

Her brows furrowed. "Maybe."

"Maybe!" He let out a short, dry laugh. "Eyes up, agent!"

Cat obeyed. She groaned, scolding herself for having such a quick response. "What?"

Fury eyed her with amusement, Cat had always been impertinent, he enjoyed seeing her eat her words. The man reached to shake her hand. "I look forward to working together, Copycat."

Cat stared at his hand, she shook it firmly and spoke in a wary voice. "Yeah... I guess."

He glanced over her shoulder at Spider-man and the rest. "That your whole team?"

Cat responded with certainty this time. "No, just the Hawkeye."

"What about the rest?" Fury scowled.

"They're just my friends," she shrugged. "This concerned Nightcrawler too, so he came here to put an end to this. Spider-man's just a good guy, he likes to be helpful."

The man glanced at the other mutant. "Why is he not on your team? Heard he's good."

"He's not here to stay." Cat smiled, her eyes a little dejected as she spoke.

"Keep an eye on him either way. Do you have recruits in line?"

"A few," she nodded. "But don't meddle with that, I'll take care of 'em."

"What about the compound?"

Cat gestured at the mansion. "You're looking at it."

The man huffed, might've been a laugh, but she wasn't sure. "Is that right?"

She smirked. "If you can get someone who can make it happen, I guess it is."

Fury groaned. "Always getting me in trouble..."

"Wouldn't be me otherwise," Cat joked.

Fury said he'd look into it, he and Agent Ross left with Kraven numbed and handcuffed. Kurt approached her hesitantly. "We need to talk..."

"You're leaving," she didn't meet his eyes, still looking at the black vehicle that was driving away. "To become a Guardian."

Her friend stared at her carefully. "Who told you?"

"I kind of guessed it, when I heard you talking with Rocket," she sighed. "You called him 'Boss' and 'Captain', which means you're working with him again."

Kurt drew out his blaster and started tinkering with it. "Out in space, no one bats an eye when I walk into a room. I'm normal, handsome, even... It feels right. "

"I think you're handsome—"

"You know what I mean," he pressed. "You met a mutant that lives underwater, not so long ago. You said he proved to you that we can do anything... so I'm doing it. I'm reaching for the stars."

The thought of Kurt living galaxies away made her soft, but not for the reason she'd expected. Cat was happy for him, and very proud. "I knew this would happen," she said. "When we met I promised you a good life in space... and you used to love it there, I never forgot."

"I love being here as well," he shrugged, "it's not bad, it's just..."

"It's not for you," she pushed. "Your real family's out there. Apart from me, the Guardians were the first group of people who loved you, I understand why you want to be with them."

"But you'll always be my best friend," Kurt said hoarsely.

Cat teared up, yet she did her best to smile. "We're soulmates, Kurt. Nothing's gonna change that."

They hugged as if trying to suffocate each other. It felt weird, knowing they were parting ways. No more team-ups unless they faced a Thanos 2.0, and if she was honest, she hoped that would never happen.

Maybe he'd visit, maybe he'd call, but they would never spend time like this again, and it wasn't bad, but it made her feel uneasy. Cat broke the hug and cleaned her nose, Kurt dried his tear-stained face.

Kate approached with worry. "You okay, guys?"

"Kurt's leaving," her lip started quivering again. "I need a moment..."

She walked away while Kurt explained everything to their friend, what he'd decided to do now that everything was over. Cat had barely controlled her crying when Spidey approached and tapped her shoulder.

"What?" She asked quietly.

"There's something you should know..."

"Oh man, what now?" She complained, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Please, don't get mad," Peter groaned, pressing his hands over his masked face. "Maybe it's not a good idea..."

"Just say it, Webs," Cat sniffed. "I can take it."

She was trying to be brave, considering she most certainly could not take any more. Peter hesitated, but in the end, even if she couldn't, he had to do it. "Parker's not gone, he's in my apartment. He wants me to go to his universe with him so I can take the beeper back once he gets there."

Cat stared at him. "Oh my god," she breathed. Parker would leave forever because he thought Cat didn't care, that she didn't like him. He was right, Cat didn't like him. She loved him.

It came down on her overwhelmingly fast. That feeling of despair was longing, the fear she felt when he was around her was only a rush of expectation. It was her brain asking many questions at once.

Can I do this?

Can I be happy?

Do I deserve it?

Is it real?

"He can't go," she said, more to herself than to her friend. "Not like this."

"I thought the same," Peter's voice brightened. "What are you waiting for, C?"

All this time, the ticking in her head had been three words in disguise.

Is this real?

Is this real?

Is this real?

Every time she lost the sources of joy in her life, those thoughts pestered her relentlessly. But Parker was real still, she hadn't lost him yet. He'd looked into the darkest parts of her soul and treated them with respect and understanding since the start, and even knowing all she could be, he'd stayed.

Cat gave Peter a brief hug. "Tell the others I'll see them tomorrow— Make sure Harley is truly okay and tell Kurt he can't leave without saying goodbye!"

"Will do!"

She sprinted out of there, the mutant heard the others shouting her name but before any of them could reach her she teleported to Peter's apartment.

The place was empty, the sun was going down, and she was panicking a little. What if Parker decided to leave and destroy the beeper in his universe?

No, the beeper was a gift, she didn't think he'd have the heart to break it. Cat copied Matt's ability and heard a heartbeat on the rooftop: young and anxious.

She stormed out of the apartment, went upstairs jumping two steps at a time, and quickly reached the rooftop access. Cat tugged the door open struggling to breathe, everything seemed to be moving fast and dreadfully slow at the same time.

"Peter Parker!" Her eyes spotted the young man standing at the opposite end of the roof. He turned to her, confused.

"What the—" he never got to finish the question, because Cat rushed to his encounter, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him as if her life depended on it. Her hand went up to his hair keeping him in place.

Parker's hands found their way around, one settled on her waist and the other on her cheek. He reciprocated so eagerly that Cat's knees buckled. Peter kept her steady. "I—" she was cut short by his lips, then tried to speak without moving away. "I...mmove... u."

"What?" He pulled away to breathe just a second, his eyes remained closed as he leaned down once more, searching for her mouth blindly.

Cat positioned both hands on his shoulders, she needed him to hear her as clearly as possible. "I love you. I couldn't let you go thinking I didn't care. Peter, I want you so badly it makes me look stupid."

"You hate looking stupid," he replied in awe.

"I don't care anymore," she shook her head, breathing heavily. "Kurt said he'll reach for the stars, and if he's brave enough to leave this place, then I should too."

Parker's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"I've been too comfortable in my misery," she sulked. "It's a type of pain I know how to handle... and I've met people who make me want to be better but you... you make me better. That scared me. There is always a chance to fall back to rock bottom when you're good."

"I'm scared too," Parker cupped her face tenderly. "But you're worth the risk. And I want to be worthy of you. Even if it hurts, or if you're scared. Even if you can't promise to stay forever. You are worth trying for," he emphasized his last sentence. "So, please, let us try."

Cat let out an incredulous laugh at how certain he sounded, she was overwhelmed. "But I'm... I'm so hard to keep, Peter..."

"That just means you're human," his brows furrowed. "Doesn't mean you don't deserve to be happy. I know you don't know what to call yourself outside that suit, but you wanna know who you are to me?" He leaned his forehead on hers, voice tender. "The whole package."

Cat's eyes softened. "It's a package with a lot of mistakes, though..." she replied, though no longer trying to argue against him.

"Everyone makes mistakes," he shrugged, Peter didn't seem tired of hearing the same response over and over, he was willing to repeat himself too. "And if somebody doesn't, they aren't trying at all. The beautiful part is that we keep learning, we can always get better. Your mistakes are just a part of who you're meant to be, but I don't see them as something unforgivable, only things that make you a real person."

Tears started spilling down her face and onto his thumbs, she held his wrists gently. "What if that's not enough to keep us together?"

"We have so much to experience, so many dreams to accomplish, and people to meet... we'll get hurt, Cat, we don't know why or how much... but I rather live through that with you, than never see you again. The life we could live is worth being a little afraid. And I love that. I love you."

Cat leaned in for another kiss, not as passionate as before, just enough to feel him close again. "Have you considered starting a career as a poet?" She said with a shaky voice. "I think you'd make more money than by working as a scientist..."

"Shut up," He chuckled, his smile only getting bigger. "I know what you're trying to do, but I won't let you ruin the moment. Let me have it," his doe eyes gazed down at her as he brushed her nose with his. "I have to go back, don't I?" He said, pouting a little. "I can't take you away... I won't do that to you."

"I may have a way of fixing your problem," she said, starting to come up with one of her outside-the-box plans. "It might be nonsense, though... can you stay one more day?"

"Probably not," he shook his head, biting his lip to try and stop smiling. It wasn't working. "But I bet we'll have fun if I do."

Stephen Strange Meta-Fic Sequel Chapter 7: Fury

Introducing, Director Nick Fury! SPOILERS AHOY! — Wandavision, Loki, & Secret Invasion. A little of Multiverse of Madness is touched on, but not much. TRIGGER WARNING: Language, threat of kidnapping, implied threat of torture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Stephen approaches us in the mess hall, looking troubled.  We had all just sat down for breakfast, but clearly that was going to have to wait.  I look at him anxiously.*

Me (worried):  What’s wrong, Stephen?  *I’m worried that someone important died or our universe somehow got worse.*

Stephen:  SHIELD.  You’ve heard of Nick Fury, right?

Me:  Yes.

Trix: Oh boy.

Tear: Who hasn’t? For being a secret spy, his identity is even better known than Tony’s or Steve’s…

PrettyWitch: Jackson or Hasselhoff?

Stephen:  Apparently, he sent a message and he wants to talk to all of you.  He claims that he needs to meet with you four so that he can improve SHIELD’s aid response for your universe.  *He seems considerably less than pleased.  It’s clear that Stephen isn’t buying any of it.*  Steve and Tony know about it too and will join a conference call to make sure everything goes smoothly.  Unfortunately, declining the meeting would lead to SHIELD withholding aid and support for your universe.  So, it’s unavoidable.  *The sorcerer is grim.*

Trix: So how does he even know we’re here? I don’t see the other avengers telling him anything.

Me (sarcastic):  Greeeaaat…

Tear: *I chuckle humorlessly* He’s The Spy, remember? His secrets have secrets.

PrettyWitch: *I shrug at Tear’s remark.* Yeah, that sounds about right.

Stephen:  He has his own ways.  *He grumbles.*

Trix: I mean, we kinda have a leg up on him though. *she looks at the others* This universe is not caught up to what we know yet. It might be slightly different but we even know about…well… *she looks over at Stephen* the whole *she kinda flails around* thing with Fury and Captain Marvel. And what’s likely going to happen.

Stephen:  It’s something, at least.  Be careful how you talk to and bargain with him.  In fact, try not to bargain with him at all if that can be helped.  *He’s serious and lowkey trying to protect us.*

Trix: Of course. But I also want to know if it’s going to be him or the other him. Because if it’s actually Nick Fury we’ll get our answers immediately and there won’t be a delay. If it’s who I think it is, we’d have to wait while they stall and get him actually there. *she looks over at the others to see their reaction*

Me:  Ohh…Good point.  *I give her a knowing look.*

Tear: *I frown worriedly* Really? In this universe too, you think?

PrettyWitch: *I go wide-eyed.* Oh, HoaryHosts is gonna kill us when we tell her we met him…or rather…if we meet him.

Stephen:  “Who I think it is”?  *He ponders this, but dares not ask more.  He knows how fickle meddling with the timeline can be.*

Wong:  What about meddling with the timeline?  *He walks over, having overheard us.  He’s clearly displeased.*

Stephen (grim):  Fury.

Wong:  *Sighs*  I should have known…

Trix: Honestly, I have no idea how blending our universes is fucking with what we can say. Honestly, that fact that the TVA hasn’t shut us down either means that this is supposed to happen or the TVA got fucked up already which is a whole other can of worms. *she’s starting to get nervous*

Me:  Eeeeeeeeh yeah…..*I shift uneasily.*

Stephen:  Quick meeting before we proceed with speaking to Fury.  We need to establish a few things.

Wong:  We will need to figure out as much as we can without triggering potential negative consequences.

*They usher us to a private chamber for the briefing and make sure that nobody else is around.*

Stephen:  Judging by the variations we’ve experienced between universes, the timelines we’re all familiar with are different enough to avert most of it.

Wong:  So, we should be safe provided you only bring us up to speed on events leading up to the current present.  No further.  

Trix: Gotcha. I can do that. I have way too much of the movie timeline ingrained in my head. *she smiles weakly and stretches a bit* So the first thing to explain is that your universe was first introduced to ours in media because of comics. Marvel Comics to be exact. They have been around for decades which means that stories have been rebooted multiple times over, so even then, not everything is lined up. The big thing that happened though, is that someone decided they wanted to do a series of movies that all happened within the same universe and be interconnected that way instead of a bunch of series on their own. That is what started the MCU: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Trix For complicated business reasons and debt, Marvel the company sold the movie rights of certain groups in the comics to other studios, and I promise this will be important in a minute, but it’s why the MCU doesn’t have mutants or inhumans in the story. Spider-Man didn’t even appear until a decade into the movie series because of the studios fighting. It’s still complicated. But it’s why our timeline for understanding what’s going on in your universe is a bit…different. Certain players weren’t a part of the story we know despite yours having an eerie similarity to what we know. Does that make sense as a sort of background?

Wong:  So far.  We’re still following you.  Go on.

Stephen:  I remember this from when I was first trapped in your universe.  Still makes as much sense.  *He’s half-joking.*

Trix: *she grins* It’s incredibly complicated but hey- capitalism! *she then frowns a moment* Basically, we have a kind of guide map for whereabouts you are in the timeline but there’s one big difference. Tony Stark is alive here. For us, he died from using the infinity stones to stop Thanos. That cascaded a few issues in the movies which I don’t think will happen here or have happened in different ways. Like the universe almost tearing apart due to a spell Stephen did for Peter in the movies isn’t going to happen here but instead Stephen ended up in our universe and you know the rest.

Wong (appalled):  He did what?!  *He scowls.*

Stephen (annoyed):  Hey!  I didn’t even cast the spell in this timeline!  Don’t get mad at me.

Trix: *she blushes at getting Stephen in trouble* Yeah, please no Runes of Kof-Kol on a major scale because Peter’s identity got out. It got borked. 

*Wong glares daggers at Stephen.  The younger sorcerer seems to slightly shrink under his mentor’s gaze.*

Stephen (glancing at Trix and then back at Wong):  Deal.  

Trix: *she tries not to laugh before getting back to the main point* Yeah, so the main thing for this Fury meeting is that back in the 90’s when Carol Danvers got her powers, there was a bit of a thing with Skrulls, aliens who can shapeshift, who were brought here as refugees from the Kree. By the time The Snap happened, Fury and Carol hadn’t found them a new home yet but they are still around. Fury tends to have one of his closest Skrull allies take his form while he’s up on a spaceship working on who knows what. That’s why we aren’t sure if the Fury who contacted us is actually Nick Fury, and we really want to keep our story as close to our chest as possible.

Stephen (subtly pleased with this new information):  Good to know.

Wong:  So, how do we tell them apart?

Trix: *trying not to laugh again* It’s pretty dumb but it’s subtle. First of all, we need to make it a breakfast or brunch meeting with food.

Stephen (raising an eyebrow):  Why?

Trix: Because apparently the real Nick Fury can’t eat his toast cut diagonally. *finally she can’t hold back her giggles* Yes, it’s incredibly weird as hell but it’s apparently a thing he admitted. Also, we know how he got the eyepatch. If he’s grumpy about how we know then it’s likely him. 

Me (small joke):  Meow.  *Mimes a cat scratching.*

Trix: I will admit that if I ever see Goose I will not be getting anywhere close to her. I appreciate and love her but I value my life.

Me:  Admittedly, as cute as flerkens are, they’re terrifying.

Wong:  Goose is a flerken?

Me:  Yes.

Stephen (curious):  What’s a flerken?

Trix: I have a feeling you will find out soon enough. *trying not to giggle again* There’s a reason Nick Fury has trust issues.

Stephen:  I get the feeling I’m not going to like this…

Trix: Oh! *realizes she almost forgot the other important parts* Speaking of other things you aren’t going to like: Wanda Maximoff is likely holding a town unintentionally hostage in New Jersey in a magic bubble that makes the world like sitcoms through different eras due to unresolved trauma while another witch is in there trying to get her to break so she can steal Wanda’s power with the Darkhold. *Trix makes a face as she then realizes the bombshell she dropped* That knowledge is easier to digest when it’s what you think is fictional stories versus real now that I’m considering it…

*Both sorcerers are silent for a moment.*

Wong:  I will see to Wanda and the Darkhold.  Strange, you ensure that the girls do not get tied into anything Nick Fury attempts to steer them towards.

Stephen:  Fine.  *He’s resigned to it at the moment due to all of the world-shattering information.*

Trix: Oh, and if you see anyone in what looks like riot gear that says TVA on it, we’re fucked.

*They stare at her.*

Stephen:  Noted.  *He’s dreading it, but knows that they should probably find out.*

Wong:  Dare we ask?

Trix: So, there’s no real easy way of explaining this, there’s a guy who exists outside of time and space who basically micromanaged your universe’s timeline to fit his needs. His organization, the TVA or Time Variance Authority, was in charge of keeping the ‘sacred timeline’ and would wipe out timelines that branch off how they weren’t supposed to go. The time heist from the Avengers? Supposed to happen because then he could get the science of time travel in the first place. Did they tell you about how they tried to get the Tesseract from 2012 but Loki ran away with it?

Wong:  That, I remember.  The Ancient One was surprisingly calm about it all.  I assume she probably knew about this.

Trix: Well that makes absolutely a bunch of sense. Anyways, the Loki that escaped was caught by the TVA and that entire timeline was erased and he was essentially arrested. The TVA is kinda the judge, jury, and executioner but in a 70’s vibe. Loki learned of what his timeline was ‘supposed’ to be and decided against it. TVA recruited him for a bit because apparently variants of Loki cause them issues a lot but things got crazy and he united with other Loki’s to take out the man behind the curtain because free will, yay! *she does half hearted jazz hands* Problem is that by Sylvie, the female presenting variant of Loki, killing the man behind the curtain instead of taking over for him kinda fucked up the multiverse because by keeping the universe under such tight scrutiny, the man’s variants wouldn’t rage a multidimensional war. So: good news is that because the multiverse is accessible then the TVA is down and we won’t be atomized and dropped off at the end of time to be eaten by a giant cloud that vaporizes you because we veered off the written path. Bad news is that there’s gonna be a multiversal war on the horizon and rogue agents may be out and about to try and get the TVA back up and running again. Tadaaaaa. *she is much less enthused by now*

Stephen (digesting this information):  …We’ll put them on the watchlist just to be sure and put all of this on record.

Trix: If you see Loki and he’s wearing an outfit that looks like office attire, dress shirt and tie with tan pants, he’s the good one!

Wong:  Noted.  Thank you for this information.  

*Stephen conjures a book and magically jots down everything Trix said.*

Stephen:  Okay…Now, we need to get going.  Fury isn’t known for being patient.

Trix: BRUNCH! Without eyeballs!!! 

PrettyWitch: *Sticks her tongue out, dreamingly.* I hope they have cheesecake after.

Me:  Good luck with Wanda and the other witch, Wong.  Please be careful.

Wong:  I will do my best.  *He warms up to us slightly, seeing that we care about him.*

Tear: Wait, you’re really going on your own? Wouldn’t it be wiser to bring backup? *I wring my hands in worry. While I have confidence in Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme, I also know that Agatha and the Scarlet Witch already make for powerful opponents without even considering the Darkhold*

Wong:  I will call for backup if needed.  Strange is going with you four to ensure Fury does not attempt to detain you.  Even then, with how many civilians are involved, keeping our numbers small in this delicate of a situation would be best.

Trix: Yeah! And be careful of the Hex, it can change people permanently if gone through too many times!

Wong:  Thank you.  I shall ensure this does not happen.  *He opens a portal to West View to confront the witches.*

*Meanwhile, Stephen opens a portal to SHIELD HQ.*

Stephen:  Stark and Rogers will conference call in as soon as we’re in the meeting.  It’ll help to have multiple Avengers there to prevent any funny business.  Are all of you ready?

Trix: As ready as I can be! *she smiles at him and then at the others*

Me:  Bring it.  *I smirk.*

Tear: *I’m still more worried about Wong than our own meeting with Fury, but I still nod in reply*

PrettyWitch: You know I am. *I smirk.*

*Stephen nods and ushers us through the portal and we walk into the building.  It’s heavily guarded, but the agents are at ease.  It seems that Director Fury was there in the main room waiting for us.*

Fury:  So, you four are in the middle of all of this.  Welcome to Universe-616.  Take a seat at the table over there.  We need to have a talk.

Stephen:  Mind if we eat while debriefing?  We came directly here.  *He’s secretly attempting to initiate the toast test that Trix mentioned earlier.*

Fury: *frowns* ……I don’t see why not. We can have some stuff sent in from the cafeteria. *He nods to Maria Hill who immediately steps away and begins to speak into her earpiece* Now why don’t we have a seat in the meantime, I hear you have a pretty interesting story. *He gives the group a look as he sits down in one of the plush office chairs*

Me:  It’s rather long and complicated, but the short version is that there was an accident from a demon stealing Stephen’s Sling Ring, which trapped him in our universe.  This caused a rift.  By the time Wong tracked him down and got him out, too much time had already passed and our universes became entangled with one another.  So, now energy from the multiverse is spilling into our home universe and all of Hell is breaking loose.  We came here to train in a safer environment so we can help clean up the mess.  That’s the summary of it.  *I’m direct, but polite, making sure not to give too much away.*

*Fury hums as he considers the story, staring at the group who is still standing on the other side of the table.*

Fury: Interesting that you would trust a man so quickly when he doesn’t fit in with the rest of your universe. Do you even have enhanced over there to have made such a judgment call?

Me:  No.  To be honest, his sudden appearance was…complicated.  When he first showed up, I nearly attacked him.  However, after a rather surreal discussion, we came to an agreement.  *I keep it vague, but honest.*

*Fury hums again and swings his chair to stare at Stephen with an eyebrow raised.*

*Stephen looks at him, stoic.  The conference phone rings.  It seems that Tony and Steve are calling in.  Meanwhile, the food is arriving.*

*Fury is still staring at Stephen as he answers the phone. When the call connects, holograms of Tony and Stephen appear in the room with us.*

Fury: This better be important. *he gestures to the agents bringing in the food to leave it on the table and then get out as soon as possible*

Steve (conference call, polite):  Director Fury.  *He gives a small salute.*  Due to our familiarity with the situation at hand, we request that we participate in this debriefing.

Tony: *He rolls his eyes at Steve’s formality before addressing Fury* It’ll be much easier on you this way, trust me. *His eyes drift over to Stephen and his newest novices, and he can’t help grinning* Aww, you guys are wearing matching outfits! Now you really do look like ducklings following their mother around.

*Stephen gives Tony a look that could shatter a diamond.  I turn away slightly in an attempt to conceal a blush.*

*Fury rolls his eye at Tony* 

Fury: I was under the impression that the both of you would be unavailable due to a rescue mission you didn’t see fit to share with the rest of the class. *He can’t help but glare at the hologram in front of him*

Tony: It’s called the magic of multitasking. Surely you’ve heard of it. How else would I find the perfect way to grace you with my presence while watching War Machine doing brilliant rescue work? *He cups his hands around his mouth and stares somewhere behind the camera* You’re doing amazing, Honey Bear!

Rhodey: *Out of frame* Screw you, Tones!

*Fury is visibly annoyed and is about to shout at the billionaire when he finds Trix pushing a plate of toast towards him, cut horizontally with nothing on it. Fury glances over to Hill briefly who gives him a nod and he accepts it, cautiously. After throwing some jam on it, Fury angrily takes a bite before pointing the toast at Tony’s hologram.*

Fury: For fucks sake, stop taking all of the Avengers on a multiversal road trip. *He turns back to the group in front of him* Now what I want to know is how you know so much you’re not supposed to know.

Me (calmly):  It’s rather odd to say, but in our universe, you are all fictional characters in a comic book series, coupled with several movies and video games.  Your stories are all told there.  However, for safety’s sake, it’s best not to say more than that.  We could tell you up to the present day, but no further.  Even then, the Avengers wanted to help us due to the ongoing multiversal debacle.  

Steve:  It’s a humanitarian mission, Sir.  *He’s defending our position as well as theirs.*

Tony: *He claps his hands and throws his hands out in a fakely innocent manner* Science!

Me (polite):  Would you care for another piece of toast, Director Fury?  You’ve finished the other one.  *I offer another slice of toast.  This one is also horizontally cut.  We’re secretly planning to catch him off-guard.*

*Fury was ready to start ranting when the plate is offered to him and it throws him off balance. He knows something is up but has no idea what*

Fury: Sure… *he takes it and takes out his rising annoyance on the toast with the knife for the jam but doesn’t immediately eat the toast* So what is stopping someone from just going over to your universe for that information anyway? If anything, we should have a guard on you 24/7 as you likely have classified information that could easily be…convinced to be shared. *Fury finally eats the toast as he’s getting confident*

Tony: *He points a menacing finger over at Fury* I’m just gonna pretend you didn’t just sit there and threatened four young girls right in front of the sorcerer put in charge of their protection, because if I don’t then I’m heading over there with every single Avenger to teach you some fucking human decency. Strange here might be their Mama Duck, but you’re now messing with their Dad. *His glare loses its effect when something off camera catches his attention, but he waves it off in a casual way* Just co-parenting business, Platypus, nothing to worry about.

*Fury just raises an eyebrow at him, but says nothing*

Steve:  Gentlemen, let’s be civil about this… *He skillfully ignores Tony’s offended spluttering* Director Fury, I can attest to these girls’ characters and traits.  They are, rest assured, completely harmless.  This escalation is far too much.

Me:  Plus, multiverse travel IS still rather difficult, even with magic.  Even then, what good is our “classified” information in a universe where none of you ever existed?  Plus, there are still some variations.  So, perhaps it’s worth it and perhaps it isn’t.  Hard to make the call and use so many extra government resources for such a project, no?  It may be seen as a tad excessive.  *I remain candid, subtly goading Fury with the reminder that he isn’t in total control.*

Fury: And why use the resources when the prize is right here at this table anyway? You don’t have counterparts here, no legal means of existence. Just some ties to Nepal that could easily be seen as trafficking in a certain light. I’m not sure I would turn on that light switch but someone might. The tech genius who could forge the paperwork is so off world that he can’t do much in time. *He finally finished his toast and takes a swig of orange juice from the bottle that was set in front of him*

Tony: Is that a fucking challenge?

*Stephen is seething in silence, but decides to speak up.*

Stephen (coldly):  …Be very careful how you complete that thought, Fury.  These young women came here willingly as refugees from their home universe and they are under Kamar-Taj’s protection.    

Fury: And yet they have the means of preventing future threats and won’t provide them. I’m just trying to keep our people safe, Strange. 

Strange:  Even in the case of Thanos, sticking our necks out with the Infinity Stones could have easily destroyed all of existence as we know it.  If the wrong information is disclosed from them, it could collapse BOTH of our timelines.  *He’s direct and almost growling.*  They stay with us and only disclose what they can do so safely.  WE know how to proceed with this better than SHIELD does.  

Fury: Somehow, I can’t trust that statement to be true. *he shrugs nonchalantly* Besides, they could have already done damage to our world anyway. What was that about a global pandemic?

Steve:  That was already taken care of.  They sent us some testing material with antibodies against the virus.  We’ve already reverse-engineered a vaccine and inoculated everyone prior to entering their world.  *He’s addressing each concern within his understanding as it comes up to keep things relatively calm.  Though now he’s getting more and more angry beneath the surface himself.  Steve is doing his best to remain civil.  His tone is becoming more clipped.*

Tony: Doubting the Holy Order of the Wizards of Nepal is one thing, but doubting both the Science Bros and Facial Hair Bros is astoundingly stupid, even for you. Friday, care to forward your newest work to Agent Dickhead? Here, I’ll even be magnanimous and speed things up for you. *He flicks his hands and images of brand new legal documentation for all four girls show up on his screen, ruining any opportunities for Fury to lie about their existence* What was that you said about a tech genius? And that was under four minutes, I believe. Congratulations on your new world record, Fri.

*Fury merely frowns but doesn’t seem overly bothered*

Me (simply):  If you detain or attempt to “influence”, harm, threaten, harass, or otherwise negatively affect any of us and/or our loved ones, no information and no more access to our universe.

Fury: All it takes is making it over there with the right kind of drive to get our own copies. *he shrugs and leans back in his chair and finishes his orange juice. So far he has been the only one to eat*

Tony: *He shakes his head and pinches the bridge of his nose. This is worse than talking to a wall*

Steve (innocently):  All interdimensional devices require a spell crafted by Stark and Strange in order to work in other universes, Sir. They are useless otherwise.

Stephen: *Starting out amiably*  With “our” influence *referring to the sorcerers*, they may not even be of any use to you anyway.  Not only do all devices require a spell crafted by Stark and myself to work, but the girls could simply “conveniently” fall asleep for as long as is needed.  Unharmed, but completely useless to you and your operatives.  *He hisses the last part of his speech.*

Trix: Wait- that’s a thing?

*Stephen lightly puts his hand on Trix’s shoulder to subtly reassure her.  Also as an affirmative that it IS in fact a real spell.*

Steve:  I’d say that the best course of action here would be to open a more diplomatic set of relations, Director Fury, SIR.  *He almost spits the title as he speaks.*

*Trix subtly grabs a last piece of toasts and cuts it diagonally before slipping it slowly to Tear*

Tear: *I accept the plate from Trix and reach over to place it on Fury’s desk, the movement not exactly kind* Right. A “token” of goodwill, for diplomacy’s sake. *My smile seems innocent enough, but we’re all observing him attentively*

Fury: *he pauses imperceptibly before frowning and pushing the plate away, he grabs his own slice of toast from the small stack remaining and cuts it himself, horizontally* No, I can get my own damn toast at this point.

Me:  *Smug smirk like a shark surrounded by chum*  So…We are now at an impasse with the real Director Nicolas Joseph Fury.  *I’m practically purring, knowing that we’ve caught him.*

Trix: You absolutely got played. *she’s beaming from ear to ear*

Tear: For someone who was desperately begging for information, you clearly failed to see it once we dropped it on your lap.

PrettyWitch: Who’s the wise guy, now? *She’s grinning stupidly.*

*Fury stills as the girls celebrate, looking down at what he grabbed versus what was offered when the thought finally occurs to him*

Fury: Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting you to know about that and call me out on it.

Me (innocently):  Need we say more about…that?  Perhaps the story of your eye as well?  

*Fury frowns at them before slumping back in his chair*

Fury: Fine. I can admit defeat. This group is certainly full of tricks.

*Stephen looks smug, clearly proud of our cunning.*

Tony: *Blinks in confusion at everyone in the room* Am I the only one who thinks I missed something? I don’t like it.

Me (smoothly):  We are glad that we have come to an understanding.  Now, the aid does need to continue until our universe can get back up on its own feet.  Let us be, leave our friends and family alone, and we will occasionally help your universe in return, provided the information doesn’t jeopardize any timelines.  That and if the Avengers or other hero teams need additional manpower, we will step in.  Sound reasonable?

Fury: *he sighs but cooperates* Fine. You win. I agree to your terms. *he rolls his eyes as he sits back but only does so once*

*Stephen seems to notice something and checks on a small, glowing relic from his pocket.*

Stephen:  Provided this truce remains intact, I’ll be back to come get you ladies in a while.  Wong needs my help.  

Trix: Uh oh.

Me:  Please be careful, both of you.  

Tear: Keep in touch whenever you can!

PrettyWitch: Yeah! And good luck.

*Stephen acknowledges us fondly and leaves quickly, portaling away.*

Steve:  In the meantime, we should more properly debrief and get our bearings on the full situation at hand.  I trust that Stephen already knows the information.  So, please let us know anything additional, girls.  

*We catch them all up on what we discussed with Wong and Stephen, no details spared all the way up to the present, but also confining it to what the other Avengers already know in the spirit of letting Fury catch up.  During the discussion, we compare events and notes to piece together the similarities and differences.*

Me:  As you now know, Wong and Stephen are currently on a mission that they learned about from our information.  This will ensure the mitigation of a major threat to the multiverse in the form of the Scarlet Witch.  *I give Fury a slight, withering look to emphasize my point that we are willing to cooperate, as per the deal we made.*

Fury: *he’s leaning back in his chair and puts up both of his hands in a gesture that he’s not going to do anything…visible at least*

Tony: The Scarlet Witch? You mean Wanda? What does she have to do with any of this?

Me:  Wanda is effectively being manipulated by another witch as we speak.  Potentially to the breaking point.

Tony: *His expression freezes in poorly concealed panic* She’s what!? And Wong and Stephen just went to confront that on their own? 

Me (grim):  If it isn’t too late, then they may be able to break her out of it.  Magic stands a better chance against other magic.  That and with a town full of trapped, brainwashed civilians, a group needs to be small to get through the Hex and be able to minimize damage.  That Hex Wanda unleashed changes people.  It basically rewrites reality in West View to a version that Wanda prefers to see and interact with as a coping mechanism rather than facing the actual reality everywhere else.  No matter who they are.  Stephen and Wong are probably the safest bets to get through and not get completely altered.  If a whole force of people tried to get in, they could very well be violently rejected from that reality bubble or killed outright.

Tony: What the fuck… *He has gone pale in horror, completely baffled by what he’s hearing. He turns and seeks out Steve, nearly ready to summon all the Avengers to assemble*

Steve (shaken):  Can we expect anything extra coming our way from what Strange and Wong are doing?  *He’s hoping that I’m right in regards to Stephen and Wong being able to free Wanda, but dreading everything else.*

Me:  Honestly, intervening at this period of time in order to prevent her multiversal rampage causes a divergence that we’re unfamiliar with.  So, I don’t have a good answer for that.  Though Wanda DID flip between hero and anti-hero a lot in the past.  So, there is a decent chance they might be able to stop this before it gets worse.

Steve:  Go ahead and alert the other Avengers so we can all be on standby.  *He’s quick about this and lets Tony send an alert via device.*

Tear: From what we’ve told you…Do you think Wanda’s divergences in your timeline compared to our own are significant enough to further influence the outcome of this conflict? *I’m shy if not a bit scared myself of what having to face off against a fully awakened Scarlet Witch would be like*

Steve:  There is a chance.  *He seems a bit shaky about this, but slightly more sure with what he remembers of her.*

PrettyWitch: Yeah…*She places a hand to her chin and starts to think what other potential threats could arise from preventing Wanda from fully awakening as the Scarlet Witch.*

Trix: The main issue is going to be the other witch there. If she pushed Wanda past a certain point then it’s a bit of a ticking time bomb. Wanda certainly needs therapy based on what we’ve seen. Add in the influence of the Darkhold and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

Me:  Somehow, the Darkhold needs to be destroyed.  All copies.  Before anyone else can get corrupted by it.

Trix: I don’t think Wong would allow us on a field trip to that mountain. I think Stephen would rather stuff us in a room of pillows with no sling rings first.

Tear: We wouldn’t even know in which dimension we should even start looking for Mount Wundagore anyway…

PrettyWitch: Even if we did, would that be wise? I mean, we have no idea how to destroy that damn thing.

Tony: Well, we can’t exactly nuke a mountain that’s not in this world without a proper location.

Fury: So you need somebody else to go destroy a magic book.

Steve:  I think it’s safe to assume that book can only be destroyed by magic anyway, right?

Trix: Uhh…*she tries to remember exactly how the book was destroyed in the movie* I know that the copy for this universe can be destroyed temporarily with anything but the place where it’s from has to be destroyed or it will come back eventually anyway.

Me:  Think Wanda’s the only one who can do it?

Trix: I think we need to blow up a mountain and not die. Is the risk of taking her there worth it?

Me:  Good point.  So, if the temple goes down, the Darkholds should go away?

Trix: I mean, when the temple went down the entirety of Darkholds across the multiverses were destroyed which is not a bad thing whatsoever. But again, that was the Scarlet Witch doing it. So we’re back to the same risk vs reward argument.

Fury: *raises an eyebrow* I’m guessing this is too far in our future to be frank about the details?

Me:  I think this is as far as we can say until we know that the timeline has been averted for certain.  At this period, it’s all hypotheticals based on whether or not the current situation turns in our favor.

Trix: Also we have no idea if a certain person will show up either. *she glances at the others and draws a star in the air*

Me:  *Nods at Trix*  True.  We’ll cross that bridge if it comes.  For now, let’s switch topics in case this goes too far.  Tony, how is the ongoing situation in our universe?  *I’m changing the subject in an effort to protect their universe’s timeline.*

Tony: *He doesn’t uncross his arms, still too concerned about the Wanda situation, but he relents to the change of topic* It’s slow going. The United Nations are less helpful than we expected when we first reached out. Murdock and co. have gotten a few promising headways with certain countries though, even if we’re still far from actually managing any kind of united global response. I thought universe-altering events would be enough to put an end to all discord but that was too Barbieland of me, I suppose.

Me (rather world-weary about this particular issue):  Yeah…It was a similar disaster when the pandemic hit.  

Steve (attempting to deliver some good news, though still being honest):  Despite that, we have managed to successfully evacuate thousands of civilians and some of them are actually being helpful.  Though not all of them.  Some of them seem to still be clinging onto the notion that this is all a hoax.  There are a ton of misinformation campaigns and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to reach certain people.  *He’s frustrated, but keeping it together.*

Tear: *I send him a small smile* I’m sure that more people will start believing you in due time. It’s only a matter of time they either encounter you or another being. That level of denial cannot persist much longer.

Trix: One would hope, but there’s still people who will stick their heads in the sand no matter what.

PrettyWitch: *I snort.* Ain’t that the truth.

Fury: The main focus is just getting the ones with the power and resources to get the ball rolling. PR can always happen after.

Me:  Any other news we should know about?

Tony: Uh…not much, really. At least, nothing cataclismic yet. Whatever Stephen and Wong did after you moved in to Hogwarts seems to have stabilized the appearance of the largest beasts. Thank Merlin’s stockings for that. The Kraken was horrifying enough. I have no wish of having to drag Godzilla back into the ocean.

*After a while, a portal opens and a disheveled Stephen and Wong emerge.  They look quite battered.*

Wong:  Wanda Maximoff is now in custody.  After we broke her free of the brainwashing, she surrendered willingly.  However, the witch responsible for Wanda’s corruption, Agatha Harkness, is still at large.  

Trix: Well, fuck. Good about Wanda but incredibly bad about Agatha. Are you guys okay?

Stephen (nursing a rather large cut on his side):  We’ll be fine.  We need to get you four hidden.  When she finds out you four warned us about what she was doing, she’ll start to hunt you down.  

*Both sorcerers are worse for wear, but ignoring it in favor of protecting us.*

Tear: Your definition of fine seems to be in an entirely different dictionary than ours… *I keep staring at the dark stain on Stephen’s robes, too anguished over their injuries to really spare a thought to Agatha*

Me:  Shit…  *I take a breath because I had stopped breathing after the announcement about Agatha.  This felt like a punch in the gut.*

Trix: Well, there’s the extra terror we’ve been missing since the Chupacabra incident. *she is incredibly pale in shock*

PrettyWitch: *She bites down on her finger and starts taking deep breaths. She’s trying not to panic, even as her coping mechanism for anxiety sets in.)

Tony: *Groans and covers his face with his hands* Great. These just won’t stop coming. Popping like daisies. *He takes a deep breath, braces himself, and then spreads his arms out at a loss as he turns to the sorcerers* Who is Agatha Harkness?

Little do they know, you already did, but with your previous life as Hollie Stark cut short, you’ve been left with some…unfinished business, to say the least. Top of your list? Finally getting to marry your thought-to-be-lost fiancé.

CHAPTER THREE: EYES EVERYWHERE

You run a hand through your hair with a sigh and twirl your phone in annoyance. No answer...again. Not that you really expected one, but a part of you keeps hoping that if you call just once more, someone will finally pick up and explain this whole damn situation to you better than your ‘superiors’ have.

You're beginning to regret not having said anything during today's emergency meeting. Instead, you had dumbly remained silent while standing at the edge of the room with crossed arms, almost unnoticeable within the sea of agents. Then again, perhaps that was actually a smart move. You managed to keep your concerns and disgust well hidden, but it still burns at your core nonetheless.

It was embarrassing to see how quickly fellow agents had turned their heads at the slightest command without any input of their own ration. Pierce says 'jump', they ask how high. Only Sharon Carter- bless her for having a strong head upon her shoulders- voiced her own concerns yet nothing came of it. Instead, everyone was just given a vague elaboration justifying SHIELD's sudden launch of a manhunt for Captain America who's supposedly a serious criminal now.

You refuse to believe it for a second. Sure, Steve's gotten into fights in pretty much every ally within Brooklyn and tried to illegally enlist into the military a billion times, but there's always some sort of moral leash to his rule breaking endeavors. If he truly has important information regarding Nick Fury's murder and is keeping it from everyone else, he must have a good reason for it.

Your worry that something is terribly wrong is only solidified by the behaviors you've observed. While you remained quiet during the meeting, you were careful to note your superiors' handling of this 'mishap'. Some sounded afraid and in a panic while others were strangely calm, speaking with certainty as if Rogers has always been a nuisance they never trusted...as if they've always been at odds.

As a wise man once said, the universe is rarely so lazy for coincidence to occur. Maybe that's the reason Steve hasn't handed valuable information over to SHIELD; he doesn't trust them and if that's the case, you're going to look at them twice yourself. There's no way in Hell you're just going to sit around in the dark until it all comes tumbling down on top of you. You're Hollie Stark, damnit! You're one of the founders of SHIELD!...Well, you were anyways. Either way, no one's pulling the wool over your eyes!

Giving up on the phone, you search your drawer for an empty flash drive. You know you always keep one somewhere. Once you locate it, you plug it in and get to work.

You’ve always prided yourself on being clever and you can’t be clever without being prepared for anything. With this in mind, Hollie decided it would be a good idea to keep insurance over SHIELD in the case that something ever went wrong or that someone (Howard) decided to keep more secrets from you like that whole ‘Steve’s blood’ fiasco. Thus, without anyone else’s knowledge, you created a series of secret passwords and codes allowing you access into any file within SHIELD’s database. Nifty, right?

You’ve honestly never planned on using it as (Y/n). Having been around since the organization’s creation and being trusted enough to be bubby-bubby with the Avengers, you’ve never been tempted by the possibility that something big might be hidden beyond the range of your knowledge. Plus, there is a little downfall to your system that's made you chose to avoid it until a time of need like now.

Times have changed since good o’ Hollie. Systems have changed, to be exact. While it seems your password still works to download data without raising any alarm, the organization still keeps tabs on all employee computers meaning someone will eventually see you looking through classified information, hints use of a flash drive. While SHIELD will eventually be able to see a download's been made on your computer, it'll take them a hot second. In the meantime, you have several devices at home which have been designed by yourself to block tracking. They'll be none the wiser to the true extent of data you've borrowed. 

Finishing the download, you stuff the drive into your pocket before gathering the rest of your belongings including a folder of random files on your desk. Holding them to your chest, you make sure to walk briskly through the building while blending in with the crowd of other agents who are still in a rush from this morning's meeting. While you pray no one finds you suspicious, you worry eyes may already be targeted at the back of your head.

Words can't describe your relief when seeing the caller ID screen pop up on your phone just as you begin ascending up the stairs of your apartment building, however, you wait to pick up until out of earshot of prying neighbors. Once slipping through your front door, you decide it’s safe to hit the answer button.

"Hey, where are you?" Your tone is scolding and laced with irritation as you hit each lock of the door to ensure everything is properly secured.

"I'm guessing you're updated on the situation?"

Tossing your keys at the counter then hurrying to your bedroom, you rant angrily into the phone," updated? Steve's apparently a fugitive, SHIELD's sending out a massive manhunt for him as if he's freakin' Hitler, and you've missed three of my calls. Updated is what I'd like to be."

"I know, I know, and I'm sorry. We weren't in a good location and I didn't want to risk answering just in case, you know…you were still with SHIELD," Natasha's apology is genuine, making you pause after grabbing the duffle bag out of your closet. While she didn't say it exactly, you understand her hint.

"Nat, you can always trust me. I'd never sell you or Steve out."

"I was hoping you'd say that which is why I called back. Where are you right now?"

"At home packing."

"Ahead of the game, are we?"

"What can I say? I don't like sitting on my ass," your laptop is the first thing to be set into the bag followed by various other valuables,” where am I meeting you?"

"Head to that diner we went to last week and we'll pick you up."

"Steve's with you, right?"

"Don't worry, mom. I have your kid safe and sound. Just hurry and try not to be followed."

You roll your eyes, an action Natasha's somehow aware of despite not being able to see you," I'm not an amateur."

"Good. See you then."

You sigh, looking from your blank phone screen to the picture on your bed stand across the room. You can't help but pause and stare as if your fiancé's picture will suddenly give you an answer on how to feel. Should you be worried? Natasha sounds confident, but she's like you. You've both managed to master the art of always appearing confident despite the whirlwinds of emotions bubbling in your chests.

If Bucky were here right now, he'd tell you to take a breather and think with that pretty head of yours. He'd have his hands on your shoulders, gently forcing you to look into his eyes as he builds up your confidence with praises of your intelligence and assurances that he'll always be there to catch you whenever you fall. If that somehow doesn't work, then tickling your sides and leaving trails of butterfly kisses on your neck for motivation would.

Plucking the picture off the bed stand, you rub your thumb over the glass while weighting the effect of this nonexistent peptalk. Bucky would want you to hold your head up high and while he might not be here to tell you that with words, it does bring warmth to your heart knowing how his support once felt while dwelling on his smile…Even for an old black and white photograph, he’s too handsome for his own good.

Stuffing the picture in your bag, you make your rounds through the apartment, packing anything you don't want to be found or lost. Laptop, pictures, journals, etc. You work quickly, never standing in one place for too long. You don't even try to make it look like you weren’t in a hurry, leaving clothes thrown across the floor and not bothering to pick up that lamp you knocked over.

With everything gathered, you push open your window, carefully stepping onto the fire escape and using the ladder to make your way down to street level safely. You almost walk to the front of the building, but immediately freeze at the corner when catching sight of the black van pulling up. Familiar agents you’ve worked alongside for years jump out and race into the building…just as you thought they might.

Little does SHIELD know, you've been in the game for far longer than they could guess. Turning on your heel, you take the back way to meet with Steve and Natasha, determined to uncover what’s been hidden under your nose for God knows how long.
