I absolutely adored Captain Marvel and it's characters. And although I would love to use Carol Danvers in this story, she won't be as I want to focus on her Kree team, which I would have loved to have more scenes about. The weak codependent Bella of the Twilight series is something that does not sit well with me and therefore I love to rewrite her making her a strong independent character. Therefore, she will have to overcome some difficulties and eventually become a strong Kree Bella.
"Ah. His mind is still with his beloved Bella." Emmet joked patting Edward on the shoulder while Jasper chuckled heartily. They had feasted heartily and still relished in the rush. Tomorrow would be a big day for their brother. He would, for the first time, marry his beloved Bella. Emmet never grew tired of teasing him about "that special night", Full of their exciting meal, they were sitting with their feet dangling on a cliff overseeing the vast forests, facing towards the direction of Bella's house. Carlisle had shortly stopped analysing Bella's blood, which for some unknown reason had turned blue, in favour of the wedding preparations. Bella had shortly freaked out when she had found out and had asked Carlisle if he knew the reason for this or if he had seen something similar. His adoptive father assumed that it had something to do with her scar which she had received from James. His fiancé seemed to be full of mysteries that he intended to solve. It was part of her wonderful allure and he would have eternity to discover them all.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind combined with a slight vibration in the air almost knocked them off the cliff. Emmet moaned when he hoisted himself up again. When they finally managed to sit straight again, they observed a dark mass flying towards Forks until it stopped hovering in the air and slowly lowered itself into the canopy of the trees. Edward jumped up in worry. That was close to Bella's home! Too close.
"Do you have everything packed?" Renée asked gently entering Bella's room uninvited who jumped and visibly cursed silently. She smirked. Stealth was still on her side. Luckily, she had advised her daughter to pack one bag in which she put her most treasured things and having secretly observed her she knew that she had complied with her suggestion. But now that the extraction team had made contact, she knew that this was the time she had to put all the cards on the table. Well, some of the cards. The rest she had explained in a very lengthy letter which she had put in Bella's bag. Charlie and she had debated whether to tell Bella that the stories she had heard about the Kree were actually Kree history because she was Kree, but that could have tipped her off and she could have run away and eloped with Edward or simply not believed it. On the other hand, Bella's blood had turned back to her normal colour after Charlie had stopped administering the chemical inhibitor to tone her stronger Kree physicality down a bit. Her clumsiness had lessened significantly after that. So, it would be easier to explain.
"Sure, I have, mum." Her daughter answered with a soft smile and a dreamy look on her face. Yes, Renée could see that she was in love, but she had to protect her daughter from the Cold ones, which she suspected to be a freak accident of the abandoned Kree experiments. But more importantly, Bella had to be protected from Kree law, which she would break by marrying a Non-Kree. Kree females weren't allowed to marry outside of the Kree nation. Something that Bel-la was still unaware of. But that her grandparents would surely inform her soon enough. Renée sighed. She was tossing Bella in the very centre of their nation without proper preparation. On the one hand she wanted nothing more than to abandon her post here and accompany her to Hala in order to shield her from the severe fighting over Bella's custody between Charlie's and her families, that was surely about to break out again. Both their families were fierce adversaries within and the fact that she had married Charlie would cause a massive uproar in the circles they came from. Another possibility was that neither of the families would want to have her because she had been raised outside of the Kree empire and hadn't gone through the traditional Kree educational system. She wasn't quite sure what to wish for her.
Renée sighed, sat down next to her daughter on the bed and put her hand onto hers changing into her mother tongue. The language her daughter only knew as the family's "secret" language.
"Bella, there are so many things that I would like to tell you, but there simply isn't enough time. Things are going to change. She edged closer to her and hugged her tightly.
"I know." Her daughter answered nodding. "But it doesn't mean that you're going to lose me. I'll still be in touch." Bella winced for a split second before she could school her features again. Renée clenched her teeth. Her daughter was lying to her face. Just like she had lied about the incident in Phoenix and about her hasty trip to Italy. The Cullen's were toxic to her and she would do her duty and safe her daughter. Even if she would hate her for it.
"No, you will definitely be able to stay in touch, but every conversation will be monitored." Renée told her. "So, be careful what you are saying. But it's the only way to keep you safe." She lovingly brushed a stray lock out of Bella's face. "You'll hate us for it, but you should know that we do love you."
Bella turned her head unbelievingly and frowned. "Mum? What are you talking about? I know that you love me, and I love you both as well."
Renée caught herself and stood up again, straightened her back, squared her shoulders and clasped her hands behind her back like she had been told from a very young age. After all she had served in the Kree military for quite some time. Chances were that her daughter would also be pressured into joining. Children of Kree officers often ended up in the Military as well. Her heart clenched at that thought. It had been another reason why they had chosen to work as "spies" on Planet C-53 and to observe the inhuman colony on the moon, which they were ready to eliminate if they proved to become a threat to the normal populous of C-53. To give their daughter a chance to live a good live without the pressure to serve that the supreme intelligence and Kree Society, which was instilled into the minds from a very young age.
"Whatever happens next, know that we love you very much and that we will do anything to keep you safe. Even if that means sending you back to our families that we tried to escape from with our assignments." She told her daughter who stood up with an inquisitive gaze on her pale face. Her hands where trembling slightly.
"Ok. Mum, you're kinda starting to freak me out." she ground out hoarsely.
"Get dressed and come down." Renée ordered her uncharacteristically. "Quickly. They are almost here." With that she grabbed her daughter's leather bag and disappeared through the door.
Bella's heart was racing. Her mother had acted so unlike herself. She had seemed almost apologetic, but not because they obviously were planning to stop the wedding. She was spinning and pacing around. Alice had to have seen that by now. They would stop her parents. But the tone in her mother's voice had been hard. Bella shivered. This was a side she was unfamiliar with. What had her mother said? They would be here soon? Who were they? The pack? Unlikely. Had somebody replaced her parents?
"Bella!" came her mother's strict voice from downstairs. Since when was her mother strict? She couldn't remember a time when she had been strict to her. Ok, perhaps when they had tried unsuccessfully to teach her martial arts when she was still Young. She quickly turned towards her headboard but … but her phone was missing. She couldn't reach out to the Cullens! Her mother had nicked her phone! How had she missed that? When had her mother become so stealthy?
Bella tried to calm her racing heart. She wanted that wedding desperately. Being separated from Edward was something that she didn't want to relive again, and she didn't exactly become younger. There were voices downstairs. Bella quickly slipped into some fresh clothes, put on her shoes and sneaked towards her floor listening intently. Her father was speaking with someone having a deep voice. But…
She concentrated. They were talking in her family's secret language?! He told them that she might have been drugged with potent pheromones over a longer time? What the hell was he talking about? It didn't make sense. Now he warned the stranger downstairs that she might show withdrawal signs after take-off. Which Take-off? The other answered that she would spend a few days in quarantine anyway after living on C-53 for so long. Bella caught herself. She contemplated.
If she went down the stairs, then she wouldn't be able to escape her parent's plan and those people they had probably hired to whisk her away. She quickly crossed the room and silently opened her window. No sign of Alice or anyone else from the Cullen's. Something was moving behind the treeline. Perhaps a member of the pack checking up on her. The tree, Jacob had used to climb up to her room seemed relatively close, but its trunk was slippery. Very slippery. She gritted her teeth. But it was her only way out to make sure that she could marry Edward. There was nothing that would stop her.
"Bella!" her mother's voice came again from downstairs.
"Coming, mom." She called back and quickly climbed out of the window and put her heels onto the window projection. Bella didn't dare to look down. "Don't look down. Don't look down." The thick, slippery tree with its branches was drawing her gaze. She just had to reach it. Then she would be able to climb down using the branches. Or more likely she would fall to her death or land with her back on the ground leaving her paralysed. Bella shook her head. She had to get away.
She could hear quick steps coming up. It was now or never. She pushed herself away from the window projection, stretched towards the tree branches while jumping and reaching for the branches. The tree trunk slammed into her upper body and the air in her lungs was knocked out of her and she slipped down before she could stop it. Her hands grasped for the branches and Bella felt slightly elated when she stopped her fall down the tree. It was cold and wet on her hands, but she had to get to the Cullen's. A sharp small burn told her that she had cut her hand, but she didn't care. She dared to glance down and realized that she had slipped further then she had realized. She wasn't that far from the ground. She could just jump, but with her luck she would only hurt herself. Where were the Cullen's when you needed them? The lone wolf probably blocked Alice's vision.
"Bella!" she could hear her mother's voice from above. She was back in her room. In a split-second Bella let go of the tree and landed on the cold hard ground. Her knees protesting slightly at the landing buckled, but she didn't fall down. She let out a short laugh. It seems that her clumsiness was finally disappearing the closer her wedding to Edward came. She quickly turned her gaze above and towards the woods. She quickly turned around and ran silently towards the treeline. But …
Shortly before she reached it a tall man stepped into her visual field and prevented her from escaping. A large blue-skinned man with long blond hair and some sort of morph suit stepped towards her, aiming gun at her. Bella stepped in her tracks. So, not a wolf then? Why was he blue? There, was also movement to her side. A blue skinned woman stepped closer. Who the hell where those guys?
"Stop. We don't want to hurt you." The man commanded her in her family's language. Somehow Bella's suspicion grew that this language was a bit more than she had known before. She put her head to the side.
"Then get out my way." Bella shot back stepping aggressively closer towards him.
But he just shook his head grinning as if eager to fight. "No can do, child."
"I'm not a child." she growled thinking about her impending wedding.
She took another one thinking about how she could evade him and stepped to the side but… something hit her, and she lost control of her limps. Her entire body was shaking and convulsing until everything around her became black.
"Your daughter I presume." the bronze eyed commander stated dryly coming out of the door followed by Charly and Renée, who complained loudly that they had actually shot at her daughter. Playing baby-sitter for a spoilt young woman was not exactly what he considered a noble pursuit for the Kree nation, but he had to follow orders. And those two spies came from two of the most influential pink-skinned Kree families, which operated in close vicinity to the Kree emperor. So he kept his annoyance down just a notch. After all they had chosen to serve on that puny planet instead of living their lives in luxury. So he could respect that at least.
"She's only stunned." The blue skinned female shrugged unapologetically. "Besides, makes it easier to take her back to the ship."
"Especially, when she's unwilling to come with us." A blue skinned male added when her strong dark-skinned colleague with his brilliant blue eyes holstered his gun and picked the unconscious girl up as they resumed formation again and marched back towards their ship.
Jasper and Emmet had to hold Edward down, when he detected an unconscious Bella being carried in the middle of their formation. Renée and Charlie were now standing with one strangely dressed individual in green morph suit and armed to his teeth. But no weapons they were familiar with. He appeared to be the Commander of the team as he had given orders earlier. They could hear them speaking in a strange language, but were unable to place it. Renée had carried one of Bella's bags and put her into the strange ship. Renée and Charlie seemed to be familiar with them and Edward was seething.
He could smell Bella's blood somehow. She had to have a small wound somewhere. Who were they? He could not understand anything they were thinking about. This time he couldn't understand their language. Some of them were blue skinned. Were they aliens? What was their business with Bella? Were her parents so desperate to stop their wedding that they had managed to get in contact with Aliens? But that was impossible. Or something else? He could spot the leader turn around after concluding the conversation. It seemed as if he was sensing that they were watched. This time Edward almost managed to escape his brother's grasp. The leader had bronze eyes! They had to have been some sort of Cold Ones! A moment later the ship departed and flew off. Charlie & Renée stepped back with contemplating looks on their faces. It seemed that they weren't that sure about their decisions.
Meanwhile Bella, lying on a hard bench in the Star Force ship had no idea that her life was about to change irrevocably. There was much she would have to catch up on, hardships to master and uncertainty about what her future would bring.
