Fury was right, the Skrull were planning to double cross us from the very beginning. An idea I didn't approve of, but didn't care enough to retaliate back, especially since my focus was solely on Captain Marvel, she had arrived to the planet just like in the movie, four hours ago, and was currently close to a radio shack close to my house according to my maps, if my memory serves me right she was trying to contact the Kree.
"What are we going to do with the Skrull?" Fury asked, as he petted Goose.
Oh yeah, Fury had no idea I didn't care about the Skrull at all at the moment, my main concern was the Kree. "I don't know." I replied.
"Very helpful." Fury sighed, rubbing his eyes, when all of the sudden he got a text message. "I'm gonna get some coffee, you want some?" he asked after a second of silence.
"Yeah, anything it's good." I nodded.
"Roger that." Fury replied, grabbing the keys of his car from the kitchen table before leaving the apartment.
Once I was alone, I started to try and connect the dots of the events occurring around me, if I remembered correctly, Talos was supposed to arrive at earth around the same time Captain Marvel did, but he didn't he arrived almost a year earlier, meaning one of two things, one the events of Captain Marvel in the movie were off, or my presence here had fucked something the timeline as I knew it.
This also brought up the question, were the Skrull bad in this reality, I mean, in most comics they were villains, and perhaps in this reality they were too, I mean, for all I knew some of the MCU material I knew was not really canon.
Oh well, I suppose I shall give them the benefit of the doubt, if they do happen to be a threat though, well, I will eliminate them.
"Time to say hi, to Carol Denvers." I chuckled, opening a portal to where she was, well, to the radio shack she crashed into.
Walking out of the Radio Shack, I saw Carol in the phone booth across the street just like in the movie, talking with someone, her commander. [Carol Denvers - Vers LV 219 [SUPPRESSED] ]
Suppressed, well that's the first time I saw a tag like that, smiling, I walked up to the booth, and knocked at the glass. "Hello." I waved as she turned, turning off her connection to her commander.
"Hi." Carol smiled, trying not to look suspicious, but I mean, she was dressed like a cosplayer in the middle of nowhere, so yeah, she was suspicious by definition.
She was a few levels higher than me, and if the movie was anything to go by, she was stubborn, so I had to tread carefully. The last thing I wanted was to kill one of the big shots of this universe. "My name is Alex Walker, and we need to talk."
"I would love to, but… as you can see, I am busy…" She really was a frontliner, her acting skills were painfully bad.
"I am sorry, Vers, but we need to talk." I smiled, shocking her, for why would a human know her Kree given name.
"Skrull!" Carol hissed, punching me in the face.
"First of all, auch, second, I am no Skrull, you bitch." I blinked twice, Fury was rubbing off on me.
"Yeah, right!" Carol hissed, jumping into the air, her fist glowing.
"Ok, you want to do this the hard way, let's." I sighed, opening a portal as she descended on me, teleporting her aggressive ass to the antarctic tundra.
"You lying bitch." I heard someone say with a chuckle, that someone was Fury.
"Fury, hey bud, where is that coffee at?" I waved at him.
"You knew something was happening here, and you didn't tell me?" Fury chuckled.
"You didn't tell me either." I pointed out with a knowing smile, I knew the text message he had received was about the radio shack incident.
"You are basically all seeing, besides, you are my heavy hitter, don't want to tire your ass with detective work, more than not these missions are nothing but an old lady with an overly active imagination." Fury replied.
I laughed. "Ok, well… I am off to try and speak with a very aggressive lady."
"I assume she is the one that fucked that Radio Shack?" Fury pointed to the radio shack in question.
"Indeed." I nodded.
"Can you tell me more, I mean… anything at all?" Fury sighed.
"I will in a bit, but first, I need everything you have on Carol Denvers, if she killed a bug and was recorded I want it, ok?" That information would help Carol to understand she was being used, I hoped.
"Ok." Fury nodded.
"Just like that?" A new voice asked, startling me, it was no other than Agent Coulson. "He is unknown, shouldn't we question him too?"
"Question him, ha! Be my guest, in fact, let me get some popcorn." Fury snorted, "Question him funny."
"God, I didn't even notice he was behind you all this time, he needs a bell on his neck or something." I chuckled.
"Sir, do you know this man?" Coulson inquired.
"No Agent, I just befriended a random stranger on the street, now get your ass back in the car, he outranks you in SHIELD anyways." Fury replied with just the hint of a smile.
"He works for… my apologies Sir." Coulson bowed, why was he bowing though?
"I am… a consultant of sorts, but SHIELD decided to give me a title, above most normal agents like you, anyway, I have a very aggressive blonde to talk to, and little time to do it." The last thing I wanted was for Carol to discover she could fly.
"Ok, while you talk with the possible threat, I will get the files you requested." Fury nodded.
"Carol Denvers had a best friend, don't remember her name, all I know is she's alive, so bring her to my apartment and text me, I will keep miss bitch on the tundra until you do." I replied.
"Miss bitch?" Fury snorted.
"She punched my face, ergo, she's a bitch." I believed in equal rights, and lefts, and knees.
"Well, I am off to help your ass, and get some coffee too." Fury chuckled, walking with Coulson to his car, as I opened the portal to where I had dropped Captain Marvel.
