Marvel: Just A Kryptonian Goddess

[12:00 AM, United States California, Los Angeles]

"So, I was in this mission to retrieve a stolen object from the skrulls, together with Bron-char, Minn-erva, and Att-lass, midway through our mission we had to separate to cover more ground, after some minutes I managed to find the stolen object, a small cube made out of an unknown metal".

"I was ready to return to the meeting point and send the beacon from my team and the sh.i.p.s to meet me but the moment I turn around guess what?".

Kara put a finger in her chin and answered after some seconds.

"You found a space dolphin?".

"What?! no, of course not you crazy woman they are an endangered species, I found a Milnip, purple skin, big fangs, walking on four legs, flower-like tail and black/yellow eyes".

"And what did you do, did you kill it?".

"Well yes but actually no, I was getting ready to fight it and try to knock it out, you know, I don't like to kill animals, but the moment he jumped at me Minn-erva appeared out of nowhere and simply shot the thing".

"I dislike her even to this day, for some reason she just didn't like me from the start, she always acted like she was superior to me in every way, you should have seen her face the first time I beat her on a sparring match".

"So, you two are basically Rivals?".

"If we are someone is yet to say it to me, from my understanding we just hate each other, since entering the StarForce she was the best with the weapons while I was the best in hand to hand, our only middle ground was the emotion suppressing training, we both s.u.c.k.e.d at equally".

Seeing Carol's face and hearing her words Kara had to hold herself not to laugh.

"But anyway, she shot the Milnip and I immediately shot her with a concussive blast, after that I went to try to save the Milnip but guess what, he starts to transform into a Skrull".

"They can do that?". Kara asked with genuine curiosity, biology was certainly not one of her strong points but she knew one thing or another, just enough not to be called a clod.

"Yes, years of war and we discovered that little bit of information in the most unlikely way, I still remember being called a h.i.p.ster for the next two months".

"Alright, it's your turn to tell me a history, we are here for five hours straight and you didn't talk much about your childhood and adolescence at all".

Kara made a weird face and scratched her head in an awkward way, after talking with Vers she discovered various things about the white skinned Kree, like how she hated green, loved white, how she was a little bit petty and somewhat vengeful, how she loved sweets but hated chocolate.

Her favorite drink, that being odium c.o.c.ktail, her favorite color, red, coincidentally the same as her.

She also discovered that as long as she wasn't thinking about her past she could make a perfect poker face, and funnily enough Vers had told her about how her blond hair shines in the roots during the day when she uses her powers, a curious happening indeed.

How she liked her hair short, and how she normally trained in martial arts to pass time and improve herself.

How she loved racing games and how once she even tried to fly using her powers, managing to stay on the air for exactly thirty seconds before falling and hitting her face on the floor breaking her nose on the process.

She discovered that Vers didn't care much about clothes but at the same time that she wouldn't change her boots for anything else, and finally she learned about her teammates, that in her own words, were a bunch of a**holes.

"Well, there's nothing important really, just a normal Kryptonian studying and accidentally discovering that her world was in the brink of collapse".

"Kara". Vers said with a serious tone of voice, her new friend only told her about her life after she met her wife but nothing before that, and doe some reason that annoyed her.

Not that she was complaining, she did learn a bunch of things about the Kryptonian after all, maybe it was because of their similar past and present situations the reason that the two of them had hit off so well, it was not every day that she met someone who also lost their home planet after all.

It was funny how she got from getting captured to crashing in a primitive planet to encountering her first friend in five years, that friend being a Kryptonian, she also had to thank her captors for breaking her interface and allowing her to hear histories of Kara's life on Krypton, otherwise, she couldn't possibly be the Kree with the most information in one of the most secretive species of the Galaxy.

Both their history and civilization were interesting and learning about an almost extinct race was, in various ways, interesting.

Looking at her communicator Vers frowned, it was much more damaged than she had first thought, her transmitter was not only fried but the dam Skrulls had made precautions and now she couldn't write a message because the little bastards had changed the configuration of her pad.

Up was right, right was enter and low was h, the skrulls messed so bad with the programming that now nothing made sense, it was only when Kara said that she was an engineer that she had asked for her help.

And that was one hour ago when she was telling her a history about how she almost got stuck inside a green planet with a broken ship and no supplies bot only that but she also had to hunt for food for one week before her team found her, she had the distinct impression they had discovered her earlier but she couldn't be one hundred percent sure

She somethings about Kara, for example, she was extremely talented with technology like computing, programming, hacking, she was great in robotics and for some reason was also a seamstress.

She is an incredible inventor, not one of those who can literally change a planet, of course, she was only 30, m.a.t.u.r.e enough to somewhat make her own decisions but on a planet where the ordinary life span was 700 years she was considered young.

Although she is an amazing inventor she was a crappy biologist, she wouldn't be able to clone an honored rabbit even if her life depended on it, she was a good geologist too and loved history, being her third favorite material, just after science and arts.

She loved to write, hated when she didn't know something in her area of specialty, could fluently talk Shi'ar, Kryptonian, Tamaranean, and although her race could fly she was still a great pilot.

Everyone in the galaxy knew the Tamaraneans ability to understand other languages by lip contact but no one knew of their alliance with the Kryptonians, that surprised her.

She was also surprised when Kara told her of new Krypton's sun, Rao, a gigantic red sun that had lived for more than five billion years.

Rao nullified the Kryptonians supercharged cells and gave them the ability to slowly grown stronger by absorbing its radiation, not temporarily like the other stars but permanently.

The process made Kryptonians stronger the older they got, stronger than what Kara was at the moment, her Kryptonian friend said that she didn't know if the process would be the same for other stars, but there was a very small chance of it being possible since she had the ability to adapt and evolve.

"Alright, alright, I don't get what you want to know about me besides everything I already told you but ok".

"There is a somethings I could tell you, like that first time when I build a spaceship and tried to travel to krypton's moon but was immediately busted because, well you can't hide a ship when your parents can see through concrete".

"My first fight in school when I was eleven, totally beat those five girls, by the way, didn't come back with a black eye and got grounded for five weeks or anything".

Vers raised her eyebrows while making a weird expression but said nothing.

"The day I learned that I could fly in the future but got too impatient and jumped out the sixth floor of a building, or that time I went hunting in one of the small forests of Krypton when I was nine and got out with Ghol'x all over my body".

"Ghox?". Vers asked while finishing with the hashes, the skrulls had made unlocking the functions of her interface infinitely more difficult with each code changing every microsecond.

Luckily kara had come face to face with a similar problem in the past and was able to facilitate her entry, it was going to be only for a few seconds but she could send a message to her team.

"It is a type of liquid that when synthesized has a calming property, it is extracted from a Dophra, although some call it a Tatzlwurm, bad name in my opinion".

Seeing Vers confused expression Kara elaborated.

"Imagine an abilisk without tentacles, in the form of a worm with scales and a mouth that separated in three parts, sharp teeth, no eyes, spikes coming out of the top of its body and no legs".

"And you hunted that thing when you were a kid?!". Vers shouted with wide eyes, she only knew histories of the Kryptonians Kara had told her and she didn't know much about their culture but she was sure a Kid wouldn't be able to hunt something like an abilisk.

"Pff, Of course not, I was hunting an honored serpent with Komand'r, we stumbled on a Dophra and had to run for our lives, Komand'r wanted to fight the thing but luckily her father, Myand'r appeared, that day I got to see the best fight between a Tamaranean and a Dophra in my life!". Kara shouted while punching the air with her fist.

'Komand'r and Koriand'r rubbed on me much more than I thought they would'. Kara silently thought while thinking about her earlier pose.

"It was because of that incredible show of strength and ferocity that I decided to become the best fighter I could be, although even now in a fair fight Komand'r would still kick my a.s.s, well, just in technique that is, she is part of a warrior race after all".

"She and her sister were the two people who stayed with me until the end, unfortunately, they were princesses so I couldn't stay with them for much time, we didn't have Phantom teleportation like the old krypton, unfortunately".

Vers was about to answer when her interface suddenly opened and the neutral face of her commander Yon-rogg appeared.

"Verify CTC-39"

"GRXV-1600, I have crashed on the planet C-53, Talos and his henchmen captured me with a type of armor, some kind of exoskeleton that enhanced their physical strength".

"They have discovered something here in C-53 and are preparing to take it, I don't know what it is but reinforcements would be good".

"Underst--d, w- will take some s---s and ----".

Yon-rogg's voice started to get static, looking at the holographic image that now was blurred Vers started to get worried, a sentiment that only worsened after sparks started to fly out of the interface, knowing the danger of this reaction Vers quickly took her entire gauntlet armor piece off and trowed it to the side, just in time to avoid her hand getting burned.

"I thought I would at least have fifty seconds before the connection was lost".

"And you should, even if the transmitter was badly damaged it shouldn't ignite like that".

Before Vers could answer a black man with dozens of vehicles behind him poked Kara on her shoulder, making her turn around with a curious expression.

"Can I help you?".

"Yes miss, you see we got a camera video with a woman flying to the sky and coming back with a UFO in her hands and another one getting out of said UFO shortly after"

Kara didn't freeze, Faora would literally beat her up if she ever discovered that her student failed in something as simple as hiding her body language.

"Is this a joke?". Kara asked in a mocking tone.

"No". The man said with a serious tone, leaving no space to answer he took a card out of his wallet and showed it to Kara.

"Nicolas Joseph Fury, level 3 agent, please call me Fury and I will need you to come with me".

Internally Kara changed her expression to a serious one, Skrulls could turn into any organic being for what she could understand of what Vers had told her some minutes ago, knowing that she couldn't trust anyone besides Vers and herself.

Using her super hearing Kara focused in the hearts of all the present people, and just as she thought all of them had a quick heartbeat.

'Are they afraid of the strength I showed or do they know what I am?'. Kara mused to herself.

Looking at the reflection of one of the cars she saw Vers tensing her body and preparing herself for a confrontation, much like everyone in the surroundings Vers could feel the tension rapidly building up in the air, and much like Kara, she knew confrontation was inevitable the only question was who would make the first move.

Birds were completely still on the rooftops, the men had sweat running down from their heads, a tense silence was on the air and the only sound that could be heard was the wind passing through the trees, shaking their leaves.

Kara looked at every agent in front of her while at the same time looking at the car's reflection with a serious expression, stopping at agent Fury, Kara gave a small, knowing smile and said. "No, I don't think I will".

Vers immediately lighted up her fists and entered a fighting stance just in time to jump down on the ground and dodge dozens of electric projectiles who passed above her, hitting the wall but not damaging it.

Looking at the rooftops Vers saw dozens of agents who surely were not there before.

"And the birds stop singing, what a coincidence". Vers said in a low mocking tone before jumping up and start shooting photon blasts at everything that moved.

Kara, on the other hand, was about to punch the agent in front of her but stopped once she realized what would happen if she did that, she couldn't control her strength yet and if she punched Fury right now he would literally explode in a ball of meat and blood, she would have to tone down for now.

She certainly didn't want to kill the future S.H.I.E.L.D director by accident.

Making her decision Kara extended her arm and shoved Fury away, throwing him six meters away through the air but being hit by bullets and electric blasts almost immediately.

'So they do care about their companions after all'.

Ignoring the bullets Kara looked at her clothes to see if they were damaged.

"No damage, good, invulnerability achieved". Kara smiled and started to walk forward, if something that could harm her body came in her direction she would know, but for now all she needed to worry about were exploding bullets who couldn't penetrate her skin.

Walking a little bit quicker Kara started to lightly hit the heads of the agents with the objective to end the fight quickly and without many casualties, a failed tactic since the moment she hit them they were violently thrown to the ground with bleeding skulls.

Seeing the damage she did Kara stopped in her tracks for one second, hoping that she didn't kill the human she turned around and dashed towards another agent, Earthlings were ignorant of the universe around them, killing them would be the same as killing a rat because it bit her.

Concentrating on her movements Kara tried to lower down her strength, much like she needed to have perfect coordination to create her paintings now she needed perfect control to not accidentally kill someone.

"Fast and graceful but not deadly, Faora would have my head if she discovered I dis this".

Putting her two hands in front of her in a fighting stance Kara dashed towards a female agent in front of her, not wasting any movements she simply punched her in the stomach, taking the air out of her lungs and making her fall to the ground while trying to catch her breath.

Looking at the woman's body Kara used her X-ray vision to look at her heart. 'Great, I didn't stop her heart'.

Giving a whip with her hand on the woman's neck Kara turned around and advanced to another agent, she really didn't want to use them as dummies for her to train her strength but her master always said to take advantage of a situation when needed.

Behind her, Vers was having a much easier time, she had trained for five years with Yon-rogg and in that time she had to learn how to take anyone out with and without her powers, fighting against numerous enemies coming from all sides was not new to her.

Dodging a left rook Vers punched the agent's ribs with a strong right rook, breaking his bones and getting back up while putting both of her hands on his neck only to violently force his head down and give him a knee strike that broke his nose.

Releasing the agent's head Vers quickly turned around and gave a Roundhouse Kick to the agent who was behind her, planting her right feet on the ground she turned to the earlier agent and gave him another kick in his stomach effectively knocking him out.

Hearing a buzzing sound coming from her back Vers quickly threw her body back while using her two hands to catch herself just in time to avoid an electric blast that would have hit her nape.

Continuing with her move Vers got close to the third agent and gave a Whip Back, twisting on the air above him and locking his head with her legs, bringing him down to the ground with her weight and choking the agent until he stopped moving.

Rapidly getting out of her position Vers took the agent's gun and shot three other agents with it but before she could press the trigger once more two projectiles hit her back, making her drop the gun and reflexively activate her powers.

Shooting two continuous photon blasts from her hand Vers threw herself backwards, hitting the agent who shot at her with her back and knocking his head on the wall on the process.

Most of the agents were Skrulls and she knew that normally she would just kill every single one of them to avoid a possible invasion but that was a small chance that even one of those people were innocent locals and she would not kill even one single agent exactly because of that.

She knew when to kill and when not to, not every mission she had been was a good one, and although she hated skrulls she had never and never would kill a child, the skrulls were monsters, and she was not like them, not now, not ever.

Looking at Kara's direction Vers saw that she was doing relatively well, well enough not to accidentally break some skulls.

Jumping on the air Kara gave a dropkick on an agent, following with a whip on the air she quickly reached another agent who was behind her, landing on the ground and taking the back of his head, giving him a knee on his face that instantly knocked him out.

Hearing a charging noise coming from her left side Kara quickly threw the agent away and jumped back, just in time to dodge an orange energy blast that grazed her feet, cutting through her clothes and drawing small drops of blood.

Ignoring her already healed wound Kara turned her head around and looked at the direction where the shot came from, there she saw three skulls, two with automatic rifles and one with a sniper rifle.

Looking closely at the sniper rifle that managed to harm her Kara tried to see it's components to determine what kind of weapon it was, the form was that of a sniper rifle but she could never know for sure, not before analyzing every inch of it.

The silver weapon had a gyhofrequency tumbler on its center, a universal piece every energy weapon needed to create and control its projectiles, two extended magnetic fields on the top and bottom of the rifle, both severed to stabilized the ionized particles who got out of the weapon, preventing them from simply spreading on the air or not having enough speed to hit the target.

The rifle also had an energy cell surrounding the gyhofrequency tumbler and two others on each side of the weapon, ionized energy cells to be more specific.

'High energy consumption with each shot then, she probably has five more shots, two for each cell'.

Briefly looking at the two other Skrull weapons Kara determined that they were made out of another metal, what kind of metal she didn't know but she would find out.

Using her heat vision Kara shot two red beams of energy at the skrull's weapon, not destroying it but blowing the weapon away from the Skrull's hand.

'High Energy resistance then, this shot would have melted most metals without much problem'.

Thinking about the earlier shot Kara started to get worried, her skin was extremely resistant to the point that most energy weapons wouldn't be able to scratch her, but the skrulls somehow obtained one that could, she needed to know what it was made of and who made it.

Not losing the opportunity she jumped in the skrull's direction, immediately punching his head and throwing him back, without looking Kara quickly kicked the other skrull on her left side, not giving him any chance of reacting and throwing him off the rooftop but not being quick enough to dodge the shots of the other skrull on her right side.

Contrary to the sniper rifle the automatic rifle the skrull used to shoot her wasn't actually doing any damage, she could feel the impact of the shots in her skin but nothing else, thinking about what that meant Kara confirmed her earlier guess.

'Each shot consumes a gigantic amount of energy strong enough to make a Kryptonian bleed, high range, damage, and no recoil, made of an unknown metal and unknown energy source, I will have to capture one skrull and question him after this'.

Spinning around Kara kicked the skrull on the right side of his waist, breaking some bones and making him fall to the ground.

Looking around herself Kara saw most of the agents shooting other agents with electric blasts and turning into exact copies of Vers, unfortunately for them when a skrull transforms into someone it takes time for them to copy the exact voice of the person and Kara knows exactly how Vers voice sounded like, her super hearing was useful for more than one thing after all.

Jumping from the rooftop Kara floated some meters above the ground, taking a big breath she used her freezing breath to incapacitate all of the skrulls, or at least that was what she wanted to happen.

Pushing the air out of her lungs Kara unleashed a gigantic wave of hot red fire, melting every car in front of her and burning all of the skrulls.

Seeing the destruction she caused in just two seconds Kara immediately stopped her attack by putting her hands in front of her mouth.

'That trip to Jupiter wasn't useless after all'.

Ignoring the destruction she made not ten seconds ago Kara turned around and started looking around for Vers, only to find her cooking... herself?.

"Vers, let's go, I can hear other cars approaching the area".

"Just give me a minute" Vers quickly gave an elbow in the skrull's gut, making him drop the disguise and lift his hold on her neck.

Taking advantage of the situation Vers took his right arm and threw him on the ground while putting her left leg behind his hand and lowering herself to breaking his arm.

"We should get out of here, they won't stop coming and a lucky shot could take us both out".

Nodding with her head Kara took Vers hands and put her on her back while taking the skrull's arm and flying away at a slow speed as to not make Vers fall.

"Where do we go now?" Vers asked while holding Kara's shoulders, she was flying slowly but if she fell at that distance she would gain more than just a few bruises.

"I would like to say mercury but this guy won't survive the trip, so we are going to the mountains on the coast, they won't be able to track us there".

Vers only nodded with her head, C-53 could be suffering from a Skrull invasion, she wasn't sure but if they were really invading, she would have to kill every single skrull she came across.
