This is my first time writing any sort of fanfic! I hope you all enjoy!
Come As You Are: A Captain Marvel Story
Chapter 1: Creep
Every night I wake up from a cold sweat. Even after the events on Earth. Even after Yon-Rogg betraying me and lying to me. Even after finding my home again on Earth, previously known as C-53 to me. After all of this I wake up from a cold sweat with new night terrors. Terrors of the past I use to lead. Killing innocent Skrulls based around a lie. I try to shake it off.
After four months since I landed back on Earth, I now have a set routine. Wake up, pet Goose and then fly off. Where? No idea. I just fly around this planet still trying to find my purpose in all of this, either way it clears my head.
Ever since the events that day, I decided to stay here on Earth for a while and look after this world. Fury wants to start a "Protecter Initiative". I agreed to help him boost it up. With what? I have no idea yet, but I believe we do need a group of people with special powers to protect this planet, maybe even the universe from greater threats. Bigger then Yon-Rogg. Bigger then the Kree. Bigger then anyone I have ever face.
"Meow" Goose says to me as I sit on the end of my bed. I stroke his precious orange fur, he purrs like a cat possessed. He sure does love the attention. " Where should I fly to this time Goose?". I say to him waiting for a reply. He looks up at me with those big cat eyes. " You're right. Nowhere." That was the best thing about Goose. He just doesn't care and says it how it is. I didn't need to go anywhere, I'll find my place soon. Let's fly around for fun.
I grab my uniform and my leather jacket off the chair in my room. I hear a certain song on my radio. "I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control, I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul…". I still don't have my memory fully back. It comes back in flashes still, but I know a good song still when I hear it.
I sat there just listening to the lyrics pour out of the speakers. It felt like the singer was singing to me. "But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here..."
Those last lyrics hit me harder than anything in the past. It felt personal. It felt like, like how I've been feeling these past four months. Do I belong here? What am I doing here? Time to fly out and find out.
