Nobodies POV
Carol flies the spaceship into the laboratory and the six disembark the plane and begin walking through the corridors.
The six walk into a giant room, with the Tesseract sitting in the reactor on one side of the room.
Goose jumps onto the reactor and scratches the Tesseract, intrigued by the bright light. Carol, Freya and Maria follow behind him.
"Is that it? The core?" Maria ask "In her notes, she called it the Tesseract." Carol says
Carol reaches out and grabs the Tesseract from its position in the reactor.
Freya flinches and goes to say something but notices that it wasn't hurting her.
Carol may have been half Asgardian but she was still half human.
Carol then throws it in the air like a baseball and walks around the room, beginning to observe her surroundings.
"Whoa. What was Lawson doing with all this kid stuff?" Maria ask
Maria picks up and lunchbox and opens it. Carol then places the Tesseract inside before closing the box.
Fury then coughs and gestures towards a cup of tea, which is still steaming.
"We're not alone." Logan says
Talos begins singing loudly. Suddenly, a swarm of scared Skrulls appear from their hiding places.
Suddenly a Skrull runs towards Talos and hugs him.
"Talos!" Soren yells "He didn't come here for the Tesseract." Freya says
Freya looks upon them warmly.
Soren calls a child to come towards her and Talos. The child comes willingly, and Talos leans down to get a better look at him.
"It's okay. We didn't know what to do. Mar-Vell warned us not to send a signal for any reason or the Kree would find us." Soren says
"You did the right thing." Talos says
Once Soren noticed that Carol, Freya, Logan, Maria, and Fury are standing in the room, she tries to back away but Talos stops her.
"It's okay, it's okay. She's alright. She's a friend." Talos says
"I'm not gonna hurt you." Carol says "She led me to you." Talos says "I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Carol says
"Carol, this is war. My hands are filthy from it too. But we're here now. You found my family. This is just the beginning. There's thousands of us separated from each other... scattered throughout the galaxy." Talos says
Talos' daughter walks over to Carol, holds her hand and directs her towards the pinball machine in the corner.
When they get there, the child points to the high score in glowing lights. The child jumps excitedly and asks her to play.
"If I played the same pinball machine for six years I'd have some high scores too." Fury says
Soren notices Freya. "Freya." Soren breaths
Freya smiles, "It's really good to see you again, I am so sorry Asgard didn't help." Freya says
Soren nods and takes her hand. "It's still good to see you." Soren says
Freya smiles.
Suddenly the doors to the lab open, and Yon-Rogg and his team walk through.
"Fraternizing with the enemy?" Yon-Rogg ask
Fury draws his gun but Minn-Erva already has hers pointed directly towards him. When she gestures for him to drop it, he raises his hands in surrender and returns the gun to its holster. Yon-Rogg walks towards Carol and throws Goose along the floor towards her.
Freya and Logan tense but they were outgunned and they don't want to danger the others.
They're trusting their daughter..
Talos has positioned Soren behind her, Fury and Maria are both unarmed and the Kree's have surrounded the six .
"What did you do to your uniform?" Yon-Rogg ask "They got in her head. Just like we thought." Minn-Erva says
Freya snarls at her.
"The Supreme Intelligence will set her straight." Korath says "You can see they're not soldiers, let them go. You can have me." Talos says
"And the core?" Yon-Rogg ask "You lied to me." Carol says
"I made you a better version of yourself. What's given can be taken away." Yon-Rogg says
Carol tries to light up her fists but they just spark uselessly before eventually dying out. The chip in her neck has also turned off.
Freya and Logan look at each other worried.
Instead of using her powers, Carol runs towards Yon-Rog and begins punching him. This results in a fist fight between the two.
Quickly, Yon-Rogg lights up a gadget in his suit.
The gadget glowed bright blue and caused Carol to lean back in an attempt to avoid it.
Around her, the Kree are attacking the Skrulls, forcing them to kneel. Yon-Rogg then jerks his arm away from Carol, causing her to fall onto the ground.
Freya tries to reach her but she's hit over the head.
....
When Carol wakes up, the Supreme Intelligence machine is attached to her. She is kneeling with her hands bound in front of her.
When Carol meets the Supreme Intelligence, a record is playing beside her and a long table is sitting in front of her, a few meters away with Dr. Lawson sitting at the only seat.
"There she is. Seems like you time on C-53 jogged the old memory. This jacket? It's killer by the way." Supreme Intelligence says
The Supreme Intelligence stands up and begins dancing to the music. "The music, it's a nice touch." Supreme Intelligence says
"Let... me... out." Carol says "No can do." Supreme Intelligence says
"If you hurt them, I will burn you to the ground." Carol says "With what exactly? Your powers came from us." Supreme Intelligence says
"You didn't give me these powers. The blast did." Carol says
"And yet, you've never had the strength to control them on your own." Supreme Intelligence says
Carol tries to blast the Supreme Intelligence with her energy blast, but when she tries the Supreme Intelligence snaps her fingers and the energy dissapears, replaced with searing pain in Carol's neck which causes Carol to double over in pain.
