Hey guys! Sorry for another short chapter, I try to stay focused on one location at a time. Also, for you guys thirsty for action, it will come. I just need to get another chapter or two done to set up the story. Please enjoy, comment any thoughts, and follow my Instagram memesforwriters for updates. Thank you!
Carol Danvers didn't need a ship to survive in the vacuum of space, but there was something she loved about sitting in a cockpit. Perhaps it was that soaring through the galaxy in her starship was the best she could do to remind herself of her life on Earth, where she once served in the Air Force as an elite fighter pilot.
Those days were so much more simple, or at least she thought they were. There were still a lot of blank spaces in her head between the day she was born and the moment she was introduced to Kree blood in her system. All she knew for sure was at some point she was just a human girl, and now she was one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy.
There were very few abilities that Carol Danvers, or Vers as she was once named during her tenure with Starforce, did not possess. She may not have had many memories of her life on Earth, but she could never forget the skills that made her such a great pilot and spy. Her Kree blood made her resistant to aging, while also giving her durability, reflexes, and immunity to poisons that no mortal human could ever dream of. However, her most unique power was her ability to manipulate energy.
Carol often wondered what life would be like for her if she wasn't so gifted. All her powers obligated her to become a cosmic hero, fighting nonstop to prevent galactic conflicts, especially those between the Kree and the Skrulls. She loved her duties, but she also couldn't help but wonder what her life would have been like back on Earth.
Compared to the rest of the galaxy, Earth wasn't crowded with all sorts of godly entities. There were no superpowers, no complex war machines, and no alien life. The most out of the ordinary thing that happened on her Earth was the brief period in World War II were a super soldier named Steve Rogers embraced the name Captain America and took on the Nazi's, but he had disappeared just as quickly as he arrived. It had been 20 years since she last set foot on that planet, but she doubted much could change. Earth had always been ignored by other races, and as a result of nothing ever seemed to change.
It was the simplicity of the Earth that caused her to leave in the first place. Although she had once been an ally of the Kree, she learned that both they and the Skrulls had dangerous plans for the rest of the universe. Her brief return to Earth sent both Galactic armies to the nearly defenseless planet in hunt of her. In order to protect Earth, she destroyed the attacking Kree and Skrull fleets before leaving to continue her fight against them elsewhere. The only thing she left behind was a high tech pager, designed for a trusted friend, Nick Fury, to contact her if Earth was ever in great danger.
All the sudden a blinking light on the dashboard of her ship brought Carol's head back into focus. What was happening in the ship was unfamiliar to her. She quickly realized what was going on. The pager left on Earth had been activated. Right away, Carol Danvers knew something was very, very wrong.
Her presence had almost brought Earth into the center of a Galactic war just over twenty years ago. Nick Fury knew that in summoning her he also risked the Skrull and Kree armies coming with her. If that was a risk he was willing to take, the situation must have been serious. Without a second thought, Carol turned her ship and set a course for planet Earth.
