Damien's eyes are opened wide as he breathed in sharply. He heard hard knocking on his door and he groaned and tried to hide himself under the cover but it was no use. He wish he could go back to his dream.
He was dreaming of a woman with dark chestnut hair with warm brown eyes. It was a constant dream where he and the woman would practice fighting before she would smile softly and say "I'll see you later" before walking off and it was confusing.
Damien never felt a romantic feeling with this woman, it was a protective feeling. A feeling that he needed to protect this woman with his own life. The woman was closer to his age, and no matter how much he would ask about her.. She would walk away
Damien got up without even planning on putting up a shirt and he pressed button and the door opened and he saw his best friend Vers looking at him with an amused look
"Did I wake you up a great dream Marveel?" Carol chuckled at him and she quickly ruffled his hair and he moved away and groaned at her "I thought we spoke about if you had sleepless nights you would go see Yon-Rogg before coming to me" Damien said and Carol grinned at him
"He didn't help much this time, I needed my best friend help me. Can you take a walk with me please?" Carol said and Damien went into his room and grabbed his shirt and nodded "Of course, you know I'll always be glad to take a walk" Damien said as he grabbed his jacket and threw it to Carol "Wear this Vers, I don't need you getting sick on me"
"Aww Marveel, I didn't know you cared so much for me" Carol joked and Damien narrowed his eyes playfully before grabbing another jacket "Haha, very funny. Let's go take that walk so I can go back to sleep"
It was dawn in the planet of Hala. Damien would greet the people he saw normally on his morning walks while Carol would enjoy the silence of their walks and observe. It was quiet until Carol spoke
"I had that dream with the older woman again" Carol said quietly and Damien looked at her and frowned "I'm always having that dream of that young woman, it's coming more and more recently" Damien said and Carol frowned "I think these dreams mean something" She muttered and Damien sighed and shrugged "I don't know Vers, You're really the only one I tell these dreams about. I don't even tell Minn-Erva these dreams because she either dismisses it or gets annoyed"
"I didn't think Minn-Erva would ever get annoyed at you." Carol said and Damien snorted "Well, believe it or not, my girlfriend still gets annoyed at things I do or say things she wouldn't want to hear"
"You guys have been together for so long, I'm shocked you guys aren't getting married yet" Carol pointed out and Damien was silent for a moment before shaking his head "I don't think she wants marriage, I rather be married to someone who actually wants it. I think she wants to be with me but not for the rest of our lives"
"Such a hopeless romantic, You have such a heart Marveel." Carol joked and Damien grinned and nudged her "And why aren't you with anyone? You never showed interest if anyone here."
"How can I tell them "Hey, I have these powers and may be deadly but I would love for you to take me out on a date" kinda thing." She muttered dryly and Damien chuckled and shook his head "We have similar powers Vers, it didn't stop me from getting out there and having a life" He muttered and Carol stopped and he stopped with her
"I'm not ready to just.. Date. I'm not sure how anyone would be use to my powers or just deal with me in general. Yon-Rogg says I have too many emotions for a soldier. I don't know how you can just turn it off Marveel."
"Because.. I feel like I fought in a war before, like I had these experiences before when I get put on these missions and that I must protect.. It's different than the woman in my dreams. My need to protect her is more of a family way. I want to protect our people from the Skrulls and make sure that the future is bright within our planet and people. That if I do have children one day then they'll have a world to live to believe in and they'll find a way to protect it. That's what emotion I show when we're out there"
"You're something, Marveel"
Damien crossed is arms and nodded "Minn-Erva told me about this mission that she went on years ago when she started becoming a soldier. It was invading the Inhumans and trying to steal a baby, something about using the baby as a weapon or killing it. But her parents were smart and shipped her away before we found her and I'm glad.. A baby shouldn't go through that, being a product of war. Being raised as a deadly weapon. I hope that the baby if it's alive has a chance of life. That one day they will it back to it's parents"
"I think I'm going to love it when you're father one day." Carol smiled softly and Damien chuckled and looked down and shook his head "A lot of the times I don't think I'm cut out to be a father, I'm more of a soldier"
"Well come on, Mr Soldier.. We have to meet the Supreme Intelligence. It's going to see if I'm fit to go on a mission with you today" Carol said proudly and Damien grinned widely as he placed an arm around her shoulder "Well let's get to it"
Damien looked around and saw Carol wasn't around. She must have went outside after her conversation with the Supreme Intelligence. He looked at the golden walls with pillars wider towards the top and narrowing towards the bottom. The floor has a hexagon lit up with white light. Damien walked onto the hexagon and extends his arms beside him. Tentacle-like wires appear from below his feet and connect to his legs, arms, and head
The scene changes again, but the wires have disappeared and the walls have been replaced with an endless glossy floor. Lights then descend from above and the Supreme Intelligence appears from within them and Damien looked forward as he saw the Intelligence took the form of the woman in his dreams. He nodded as The Intelligence nodded
"Marveel" The Supreme Intelligence nodded and Damien bowed his head "Intelligence." He muttered and the Intelligence watched him carefully and nodded
"Your commander and your teammates are going on a mission today" The Supreme Intelligence said and Damien nodded and looked up "Yes, I am. Vers is going us today"
"You struggle with your emotions, with your past which fuels them."
A floating image of the Earth appears, which Damien turned to look at. The image then turns into a variety of planets.
"You are just one victim of the Skrull expansion that has threatened our civilisation for centuries. Imposters who silently infiltrate then take over then take over our planets." Supreme Intelligence said, disappointed as Damien looked at the planets. A rush of emotions as he saw the planet earth and he shook his head
"I don't even remember a lot about my past.. It's like when I try to think of it, there's nothing"
"Horrors which you remember and so much which you do not." The Supreme Intelligence said and Damien shook his head "It's all... blank. My life. It's like if I died today, I wouldn't even know what kind of legacy I would leave to anyone but Vers. You're supposed to take the form of you I most admire but I don't even remember who this person was to me." He said as he observed the woman with the dark brown hair and soft brown eyes. The intelligence shook its head
"Perhaps this is a mercy, sparing you from a deeper pain. Freeing you to do what all Kree must. Put your people's needs before your own. We've given you a great gift, a chance to fight for the good of all Kree."
The chip on Marveel's neck begins to blink, almost simultaneously his hands begin to glow and he looked at his hands "It took me a while to fully control these powers, even now I'm still learning"
"Then master yourself; what was given can be taken away." The Supreme Intelligence said sharply as Damien looked up and he was silent for a moment before nodding "I won't let you down."
"We'll know soon enough. You have a mission. Serve well and with honor." The Intelligence said as Damien nodded as he closed his eyes.
He then woke up.
Damien looked down at his black and green uniform he always wore. He saw that Carol was already making her way in the ship and he ran his hand thrugh his hair once he made it inside. He saw Minn-Erva polishing her gun and he went towards her and she looked up at him with a small smile
"I missed you during breakfast" She muttered and he was silent for a moment before smiling and kissing her forehead softly but she quickly pulled away and he frowned for a moment before he stepped back.
His relationship with Minn-Erva was.. Complicated. They weren't really official or anything but they were committed to each other. Minn-Erva wouldn't really show any affection towards him or anything outside of closed doors. Minn-Erva says that feelings are a weakness when it comes to love. Damien knew that Minn-Erva had feelings for him, but he didn't know how deep those feelings ran.
"This can't be good." Att-Lass muttered as he looked around. Damien looked towards Carol and he stood besides her as he nudged her "You're joining us today, you don't know how Happy I am to have you here" Damien muttered and Carol smiled softly
"We always have each other's backs, always Marveel." She said softly and Damien nodded at her "I would protect you and help you until my last breath" He whispered and they both smiled at that. Damien didn't notice to look on Minn-Erva's face and Korath spoke
"It must be another Skrull attack." He said as he didn't notice the conversation between Damien and Carol. Bron-Char was watching the two before he turned to Korath and nodded
"Whatever it is, it's big."
"Has a Skrull ever simmed you?" Minn-Erva questioned and Korath nodded and looked down "Once. It was deeply disturbing." He said and Damien stepped forward "Why? What happened?"
"Because I stared into the face of my mortal enemy and the face staring back was my own." Korath said and Carol looked at him, amused
"Well maybe if you were more attractive then it would be less disturbing." She muttered and Damien chuckled and bumped his shoulder into hers as she broke into laughter which he started laughing too. Korath looked at the two, not amused
"You think you're funny, but I'm not laughing." He said dryly and Att-Lass gave him a look "You never laugh."
"I laugh on the inside. I'm not doing it now." Korah said with a serious face which caused Damien and Carol to laugh even more and Bron-Char was amused
"It's funny cause objectively speaking, you're quite handsome." He said and Korath looked at him and nodded "Well thank you."
"Listen up team!" They heard Yon-Rogg's voice and he looked at both Damien and Carol "Knock it off" He said pointing at the two which their laughter died down and they looked serious.
Yon-Rogg walked into the center of the plane and begins presenting a holographic presentation and Damien looked on
"Alright, prepare for the search and rescue of our spy, Soh-Larr. The Skrulls have invaded yet another border planet, this time Torfah. Soh-Larr sent a warning signal, which we've intercepted, that he's covers blown. The Skrull General Talos has sent kill units to find him. Should they reach him before we do, the intelligence he has acquired over three years is as good as theirs. The accusors will bomb a Skrull stronghold here in the south. We slip in, we locate Soh-Larr and we get out, leaving them none the wiser. The Torfah populace; we are not to interfere with them nor them with us. Nothing compromises the security of our mission. Proceed with caution. Follow protocol before extracting him." He said and Damien looked down at Carol who looked very eager for her mission and he looked at the holograph before nodding
The holograph disappears, leaving the team standing in a circle
"This is a dangerous mission, we must all be ready to join the collective if that is our fate today. For the good of all Kree!" Yon-Rogg said as the team looked at each other before cheering
"For the good of all Kree!"
