Okay, so this will be my first reaction fic so I hope it goes well.

As for why I chose Captain Marvel well, for starters I like the film, I really do. I know it isn't popular with a lot of people but I found it enjoyable. I think many people don't like Carol because she is OP whereas people like Thor had to earn their power. She also came across as a bit arrogant in Endgame when it came to Thanos, though personally, I think there was a bigger grief factor involved in that which I'll be getting into later.

Her excuse "There are a lot of other planets in the universe" about where she has been all this time is something I have mixed feelings towards. How did she not know about Thanos or go after him? On the other hand, to be fair, and I literally mean fair, I don't actually know how many planets there are in the universe since a huge place and I don't know what kind of threats they deal with, so I can't entirely judge Carol's reason.

Another reason I wanted to do this was that no one else has done a react fic to this before so I thought why not?

Just to tell you, this reaction fic will be fair to the film. It will point out certain flaws but also justify certain things.

This takes place after a month after Civil War and a month before Spider-man Homecoming.

Without further ado, let's begin!

Nick Fury considered himself many things.

Secretive (for good reason), humorous (when he wanted), ruthless (on occasion), bold (more than once), and paranoid (for extremely good reasons).

One thing he was not, however, was bewildered, at least not normally. There were very few things in this world that could surprise him. He had fought against aliens and met god-like beings for crying out loud. Not to mention he'd encountered an army of robots run by an Artificial Intelligence.

Yes, there were very few things that could bewilder him, this being one of them.

The Avengers splitting up.

Of all the things he imagined happening in the future, the Avengers battling it out against one another and breaking up was not one of them.

What was worse was that he couldn't understand how it happened. Oh, he knew how it happened, and he still couldn't understand.

"Damn Sokovia Accords!" he muttered to no one in particular.

That blasted document was the cause for all of this.

Oh sure, at first glance it was good for keeping an eye on enhanced individuals, he could understand that since he knew first-hand how dangerous enhanced people could be, however, the rest of it was utter bullshit. The Accords not only tracked the movements of enhanced via tracking bracelet they had to wear at all times, it regulated everything they did. They weren't allowed to act within their country unless given permission by their government.

Worse still, if someone didn't sign they had to retire. And if they broke the law, well, it was a lifetime sentence to the Raft with no chance of ever getting out.

Fury may have been cautious of enhanced individuals but not to that point. Heck, he had worked with several before then.

In his mind, the Accords weren't about peace, they were about control. Governments kept an eye on enhanced people's movements and made them work for them when they saw fit.

The UN said it was about safety and reducing collateral damage, however, they didn't realize that by not acting the damage would be even greater.

The whole point of the Avengers initiative was to make a team to fight the battles they couldn't, and they wanted to limit that.

New York, Stark's Expo, the Triskelion, Sokovia, and Lagos. In each event, they were trying to save lives not take them. If they hadn't then things would have been much worse. Did politics care? Apparently not. All they seemed to be focused on was collateral damage.

Something brushed past his leg causing him to become alert. Fury looked down and saw it was only Goose, his pet cat/flerken staring up at him.

"Hey there Goose," he greeted as he picked her up. "Everything alright?"

Goose purred in response as she lay on Fury's lap.

Thirty years ago, if someone had told him he would adopt an alien cat who would also take his eye, he would have told them they were drinking too much. Now it all seemed like a surreal concept because Goose despite being an alien acted like a regular cat. He couldn't even remember the last she has used her tentacles.

"Tea's ready," a familiar female voice interrupted. "I wasn't sure if you liked sugar or not so I didn't add it."

"I don't, thanks," Fury thanked as he turned to intercept.

Maria Rambeau looked almost as she did twenty years ago when they performed that space mission together. Ever since the incident, they had kept in touch. Maria took him up on his offer to join SHIELD though she preferred the role of a pilot, not that he blamed her or anything. Shortly afterwards, she left to set up her own agency known as SWORD which was more focused on space. It still held close ties to SHIELD. This week she was helping him stay here while he was 'dead', something he would always be grateful for.

"Just got off the phone with Monica, it seems there's been a development in the space program for SWORD," Maria informed.

Monica Rambeau, another person he had kept in touch with, albeit through her mother. She was devoted to the job, and handled missions with care, though she could be a bit reckless at times. After SHIELD fell, she focused SWORDS efforts on going into space, much like her aunt.

"Figures," he replied. "She was always a devoted person and a good pilot. Got that from you I imagine."

"You bet," Maria admitted. "She got her stubbornness from Carol though."

"Now that I believe," Fury commented causing both of them to laugh.

Carol Danvers was one of the most stubborn people he had ever known, though Stark and Rogers could give her a run for her money.

A news report suddenly flashed showing the Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross onscreen. It wasn't anything major, just an update on the search for Rogers and his allies who Ross had conveniently deemed criminals.

"You know I've heard things about that man, both at SHIELD and from Monica," Maria told him.

"Whatever you heard, it's true," Fury confirmed in a matter of fact tone.

Thaddeus Ross was another problem. The man was not only responsible for the creation of the Hulk and the Abomination, he also made Banner a fugitive and forced him to go on the run while covering up any of his involvement. To make matters worse, it was his intervention last month that caused the Avengers to split up.

Fury had enough dirt on him and his illegal activities to put him away for life. The only reason he hadn't was because it made for useful blackmail material.

"How did someone like him become the Secretary of State?" Maria asked genuinely confused.

She had heard a lot of the things about the man and the things he had done, none of which were good, so it surprised her that the president would make him the Secretary of State.

"He has people in power who owe him favours," Fury responded dully.

It was the only explanation that made sense, at least to him. Maria didn't particularly like it, but she didn't question it either.

"Do you think many people will sign it?" she asked concerned.

"Probably not," he answered dryly. "There are a lot of enhanced in the world but a lot of them just want to live normal lives. Most aren't really interested in being a hero. And if they're smart, they won't. I highly doubt anyone is gonna enjoy having a tracking device on them twenty-four seven."

There were a lot of enhanced individuals in the world. The Inhumans (Daisy Johnson for instance), Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Spider-man, the list went on. If they knew what was good for them, they wouldn't sign.

He highly doubted Thor would sign. The man was basically a God. Ross would be stupid to try and control him.

Banner? After all the shit Ross put him through, there was no way he would sign.

"Trying to control people is only gonna end badly," Maria concluded. "Can you imagine what would happen if he tried to do that with Carol or Thor?"

Oh, he could imagine alright. And honestly, it was something he would pay to see.

Try and control Carol, the woman who destroyed an entire wave of Kree ships by herself, and Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder who battled beings like the Destroyer and Malekith.

Oh yes. Nick Fury would love to see him try and control those two.

"I can think of a couple of scenarios," he responded with a smile.

"So can I," Maria responded with a smile.

Goose purred in agreement.

Maria heard the phone ringing and went to go answer it.

When she was gone, Fury took out the pager he had carried around for over twenty years and never once used. All this talk about Carol had made him think back to the time when he first met her and everything that followed afterwards.

It was because of her he'd realized there were other threats out there in the universe and that they would need to bring together individuals like her to defend it.

Hence, the beginning of the Avengers Initiative.

Occasionally he found himself pondering over Carol's current position. He hadn't heard from her since she left to help Talos and the Skrulls find a home. Was she alive? Had she defeated the Kree and ended the war? So many questions he didn't have answers to.

He had considered calling her in the past for events like the Chitauri Invasion and Ultron but ultimately decided against it. He had reasons.

Still, he couldn't help but wonder about her now. What if he had called her? Would she work with the other Avengers? Would she return to space after the job was done? Who knew?

Part of him was curious as to how the other Avengers would react to her.

"No point dwelling on what-ifs though, it is what it is," Fury decided.

He was about to put away the pager when, much to his surprise (and concern), it started glowing.

"Nickolas Joseph Fury," a deep distorted voice called.

Fury had his gun out in an instant. He gazed around the living room for the intruder. Goose appeared to be on alert as well.

"Brace yourself. You will be teleported in three seconds along with your acquaintances," the voice informed.

Before he could even react a bright light consumed him and the next thing he knew he was lying on the ground.

"What the hell?!" Fury groaned.

A soft meow drew his attention to the right where Goose was.

"Glad you could join me," Fury murmured.

The flerken moved towards her owner who scratched her behind the ears.

"What the hell!" a familiar voice called.

"Tony?" another voice said confused.

"Steve?" Tony responded just as confused.

Fury turned and saw in the same room with him was Tony, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Thor, Wanda, Sam, Vision, Rhodey, Scott Lang, King T'Challa, and some kid he'd never seen before.

"Mr Stark, what's going on?" the boy asked.

"Beats me kid," Tony replied.

"My friends, it is good to see you!" Thor exclaimed.

"Good to see you to Thor," Steve said.

"Sorry to cut in on the mood but, does anyone know what's going on?" Rhodey asked.

"It would seem we have been taken against our will," T'Challa suggested.

"You mean we've been kidnapped?" Scott asked alarmed.

"That is what kidnapped means," Vision pointed out.

"Crap! I need to leave. If the FBI find out I'm not in my home I'm screwed," Scott panicked.

"That makes two of us," Clint added before turning to glare at Tony. "No thanks to you."

He was still furious about Tony revealing the existence of his family to Ross. Thankfully he hadn't gotten the chance to do anything to them.

Tony held his hands up in defence.

"Hey, for once I'm not responsible for this," he quickly defended.

"I'm not trying to take sides or anything but Tony isn't a telepath as far as I know," Sam pointed out. "I doubt he could bring us all here without knowing exactly where we were."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief, though no one else let up.

Regardless of who was responsible, they were brought here for a reason.

"As much as I would love to watch you all squabble, I'd like to get on with this."

"Who are you and why did you bring us here?" Steve demanded.

"Who I am is of no importance? Why I brought you here well, it was to watch a movie?"

Literally no one.

"Are you kidding me?" Tony asked dumbfounded.

"No Mr Stark I am not. I brought you all here to watch a movie."

While most couldn't believe it, one was rather curious.

"What kind of movie?" the boy asked.

"A special movie Peter Parker, about Earth's second hero after Captain America."

Natasha frowned. She knew the entire SHIELD database by heart and she couldn't remember reading about any heroes after Steve, save for Tony. However, she got the feeling this wasn't about him.

Fury's eyes widened. They couldn't mean.

"The movie is called Captain Marvel."

Fury was stunned. Carol? They were watching a movie about her. Was this when he first met her?

"For safety reasons, I have removed all your weapons and suppressed your powers so there will be no fighting amongst you. Oh, and before I forget. Time doesn't move in this world, meaning you'll be returned to the point where you left."

"Thank God," Scott muttered.

"Why should we listen to you?" Rhodey questioned.

"Why are we being made to watch this recording?" Thor added.

"To answer both your questions. Rhodey I don't care if you listen to me or not. You can't leave until it's over. And Thor, you're being made to watch it because it is a defining moment for someone and because I want you to. Furthermore, I have control over time and space letting me do whatever I want so why not?"

Those were poor reasons in their eyes but they weren't willing to question it so they let it go for now.

In an instant, several couches were summoned along with a bar and food stand. After getting what they needed the Avengers sat down on the sofas.

Tony sat with Rhodey and Peter, Steve with Sam and T'Challa, Wanda with Clint and Vision, Natasha with Fury, and Thor with Scott.

Natasha noticed the cat with Fury but chose not to comment.

At that moment the screen lit up and the movie began.

Hi there. Well, that is the prologue done. I hadn't meant for it to be this long but I have a habit of going int too much detail about things.

Since Fury is the only one who knew Carol, I figured it was best to start it off with him. I also wanted to do a little of his perspective on the Accords. While he may have distrusted Enhanced to a degree, I highly doubt he would support something like the Accords.

What did you think of Maria's cameo? I was going to do Monica but I stuck with Maria since I remembered Fury offering her a job at SHIELD. I don't know if she took it but I've written it that way here.

I hope no one minds Goose being present either. I don't know if Fury kept her or not but I chose to have him keep her.

The movie begins the next chapter, so stay tuned.
