Marvel: Just A Kryptonian Goddess

[12:17 AM, United States California, Los Angeles]

Kara landed on a small island in the middle of a river inside the mountains, landing on the ground kneeled down and let Vers get out of her back, after that she threw the unconscious skrull to the ground.

"So, what do we ask him first?".Kara asked Vers.

Walking to Kara's side Vers crouched down and looked at the unconscious form of the skrull, she wanted to simply kill the thing and be done with it but she knew she couldn't.

Kara was harmed by a weapon the Skrulls had, not only that but they also infiltrated inside that S.H.I.E.L.D organization too fast, normally they would take days to do such a thing but hours? That was unheard of, even inside a primitive planet like Earth something like that would have been noticed.

Hence the reason why she needed to question the Skrull and discover what kind of information he had, the only problem was that the skrulls didn't answer to anyone but their superiors.

In more than one case she had captured a Skrull for questioning but the moment they woke up or got captured they simply copied the face of their captors and killed themselves by stopping their own hearts, that happened with her one time, and since then she never stayed to question a Skrull.

'Four years of training for nothing, well'.Vers Looked at the body of the Skrull in front of her.

'Almost nothing'.

Skrulls could be monsters but they were still extremely honorable soldiers, even to this day Vers still had to see a skrull who broke their code, their reader Talos was the strongest among them, he was strong, had a strategic mind and in her personal opinion was a sassy asshole, she had fought with him on multiple occasions but had never won, the only thing more painful than his punches were his horrible puns and sense of humor.

Talos was fierce, could shapeshift into anything, had years of experience and on one occasion had even turned himself into a Strontian by simply drinking the blood of one, even with her powers she couldn't beat him, why he didn't kill her and her team on Torfa was a mystery to her.

Getting out of her thoughts Vers turned her head around and answered Kara."I was trained to interrogate Skrulls, I have never done this before but I know that you only need to hit them where it hurts the most to make them talk".

Vers detached what looked like a metallic leash from her left arm and put it in the Skrull's neck, after that she took a bit of water from the lake and threw it in his face.

Suddenly waking up the skrull tried to stand up but stopped immediately when he felt an immense amount of pain coming from his right arm, fearing a lost limb he turned his head to look at his arm, only to release a sigh of relief after seeing his most intact limb.

Using his abilities the skrull tried to move his bones in an attempted to fix them but stopped almost immediately after feeling a gigantic amount of pain coming from all sides of his body.

Suddenly remembering what happened before he was knocked out the skull turned his head around to try to discover where he was, contrary to the cell he was expecting to see himself in, the skrull saw the two female targets he was supposed to capture.

"Don't even try to do that weird ritual to kill yourself, its useless, the collar on your neck? it will stop you from using your shapeshifting ability, the only way you will get out of here alive is if you answer our questions".

The only response Vers received was the skrull spitting on her foot, followed by his failed second attempt to get up, an attempt that only served to hurt him even more.

Seeing her dirty boot Vers stopped to take a big breath to try and calm herself down before she could do something she would regret later on, or at least that was what Kara thought she was doing since not even a second later Vers Kicked the skrull's head with all her force, throwing him back and making him hit his head on a boulder.

Vers ran towards the skrull, ready to crack his skull but was immediately stopped by Kara who held her two arms behind her back not allowing her to move unfortunately for the Skrull this still didn't stop Vers from shooting her photon blasts from her feet at the skrull, missing his head by mere centimeters and burning a hole through the boulder.

"We need him alive Vers, we don't know if C-53 is being invaded or what kind of weapons they have, you said it yourself when we were flying".

Hearing Kara's words Vers stopped struggling and forcefully calmed herself down, seeing that Kara released her and walked to the Skrull's direction.

"My name is Kara, and going to the point I have only four questions for you". Ignoring the Skrull's lack of response Kara continued.

"Why is your kind here, what were those weapons, how did you infiltrated SHIELD and finally, why do your kind want to capture Vers alive".

The skrull simply stared at Kara with a serious expression without saying a word, seeing that Vers smiled and walked towards the Skrull's direction, stopping mere centimeters from his face she said.

"Your kind has some kind of code of honor right? one of them, if I'm not mistaken says that you should kill yourself if you get captured, for the good of all Skulls right?".

Looking at the skrull's face and not receiving any answer Vers got up and started to walk in circles.

"So, imagine what will happen when your friends discover that you are still alive, or maybe even worst, that you were killed after giving information to the enemy".

Turning her head Vers saw the Skrull's expression changing for only one second, going from calm to panicked and calm again.

'Got you'.

Contrary to what she had said the collar on the Skrull's neck wasn't able to block his shapeshifting ability, the only thing it did was give him gigantic amounts of pain when he tried to use it.

When they were flying to the mountains she and Kara talked about how they would interrogate the Skrull, Vers knew violence and intimidation wouldn't work, even if they had a hostage the Skrull wouldn't open his mouth.

But if they could mess with his mind then maybe, just maybe he would reveal something, and in the likely case he didn't say anything Vers would simply use her photon blast to give him a quick Death.

She may normally use low amounts of energy to conserve her forces and as a result only knock out her enemies with concussive blasts but nothing is stopping her from using more power and explode the head of the Skrull in front of her, well nothing besides Kara that is.

"Your soldiers had pretty unique weapons, so unique that Vers never saw them before, not only that but your kind somehow managed to infiltrate Shield in mere five hours".

Looking at the skrull's neutral expression and hearing his breathing Kara smiled and continued talking, she knew what S.H.I.E.L.D was and she knew that for the skrulls to have infiltrated inside the organization they would have to know what it was beforehand.

In other words the Skrulls either already had infiltrated inside S.H.I.E.L.D before either of them entered the planet or they just wanted to capture Vers and whatever they wanted from Mar-vell quickly and get out of the planet as fast as possible, leaving a very confused secret organization behind.

"You know what I think is happening here? I think your kind established themselves here on this planet, a planet isolated from the rest of the universe, technologically inferior, a perfect place to hide something if you ask me, the perfect place to hide from the Kree".

Using her super hearing Kara heard the skrull's heart starting to beat faster, most Kryptonians would simply use their X-ray vision to look at the electrical signals inside the brain of the Kryptonian or alien they were questioning but Kara simply couldn't do that, she was horrible in biology after all.

Hearing the sound of the Skrull's beating heart Kara smiled slightly, with her increased intelligence due to the yellow sun's radiation and her already bright mind she was able to think as fast as a supercomputer and think of the most probable conclusion or solution to her problems with the small information she had.

The skrulls were doing something inside C-53, she didn't know what but she would find out sooner than later.

"A perfect place to establish a base indeed".

The skrull suddenly jumped up and dashed towards Kara but was immediately stopped by Vers who gave a strong kick to his stomach, sending him back on the ground and making him hit his head on the boulder again.

"So this place is a base after all, it would be a pity if a Kree soldier sent a message to her superiors warning them of the Skrull's base before they could evacuate the planet, don't you think?".

"No, of course you don't, your kind probably doesn't know what is love or empathy, just like animals you only work in your most basic d.e.s.i.r.es, I'm impressed you can even talk".

Hearing what Vers had said Kara started to get worried for her friend, she knew Vers hated the Skrulls, that much was obvious, she had said that to her multiple times even but her mood shifts were starting to worry her.

Vers was a kind person, nobody besides her could see that but she could, the level of emotion she had shown when talking about her past couldn't be faked.

And if that didn't prove anything the fact that she was incapable of purging her feelings despise being trained to do so for five gears showed what kind of person she was, the kind of person who was incapable of killing a living being in cold blood.

Her history about how she refused to kill a Milnip and even attacked her teammate to try and save it before discovering that it was a Skrull showed that she was indeed a kind person.

But that changed when she dealt with Skrulls, cold, angry, and perhaps even cruel, Vers didn't have a single drop of empathy for them and yet proving she had feelings she refused to kill an infant Skrull, something a cold blooded killer would do without batting an eye.

Would she be that way if someone killed her parents too? she didn't know but she certainly wouldn't want to be.

Looking at her friend Kara gave a small smile while thinking about what her mother said to her once.

'Hate is never a good emotion, It clouds your judgment, breaks your ideals and makes you become something you are not, something that I know you aren't Kara, so, please never, never do that again ok?'.

Remembering her mother's words and looking at Vers angry expression Kara decided to talk to her after the interrogation, five years feeling nothing but pure hate for an entire race wasn't good for anyone.

In all her life she had only felt true hate for something once and maybe because of that she wouldn't be able to be the person Vers needed to talk to but even so that wouldn't stop her from trying, her friend needed help, even if she didn't realize yet.

'Help everyone even when you think you can't, that's what You said to me Right Alrya?'.

"Just ask whatever you want and kill me, I won't beg you filthy Kree".

"How did you find us?" Vers asked while ignoring the Skrull's insult.

"Cameras, contrary to what your friend said this planet is not exactly a base for us, it's more like a meeting point". The skrull said while trying to hide his pain.

'Vers really didn't hold back while breaking his arm, I'm surprised it's even attached to his body at this point'.

"Why did you want to capture me alive?".

"I Don't know, the only thing I know is that our leader wants you alive, just that, he doesn't say the reason why though, maybe he just wants to extract your memories and rip all the secrets out of you but not everyone is as 'Lively' like him in that regard, some just want to kill you and be done with it".

Looking at Kara, Vers received a nod, confirming that the Skrull wasn't lying.

'So, Talos wants me alive for a reason and I doubt It is something as simple as my memories if that was the case then Yon-rogg would be the better option, something is wrong, something is definitely wrong and I will find out what it is'.

Getting out of her thoughts Vers turned her head and looked at the skrull again, she still had some important questions. "The weapons?".

"Someone made it seven years ago, all I know Is that our leader managed to steal from them, he only uses those things when we enter a mission of High priority".

"Last question". Vers took a small purple rock from her pocket and presented it to the skrull.

"Your boss was messing with my mind and one of the devices had this thing in it". Vers took a small purple rock from her pocket and showed it to the Skrull.

"So answer me, What. Is. This?".

Vers asked in a threatening tone, her memories of her destroyed planet, the only real home she ever had surfaced inside her head, an explosion and then blackness, the only memory she had of her home and even to this day, it brought her great pain but at the same time happiness to see her past home again.

Even when everything was destroyed she could imagine how beautiful the city must have looked like before the invasion, perhaps holding on to the happiness and sadness that memory brought to her prevented her to become a better version of herself but she would be dammed if she lost the ability to smile every day after seeing her mother's face in her dreams.

Having a Skrull trying to corrupt those memories was the worst thing they could possibly do to her.

The skrull extended his arm and took the purple rock from Vers hand, looking closely at the object he gave a small smile.

"That is a memory card, unfortunately, I can't say more unless you let me activate the device and show the stored memories".

"Can't or won't?".

"Can't".

Vers eyes at the Skrull suspiciously, turning her head towards Kara she received a nod of confirmation, turning her head again she nodded to the skrull who immediately put the stone in his interface on his right hand.

After some seconds of messing with his interface, a holographic video started playing with a black woman talking with someone in what looked like an airbase.

"What place is this?" Vers asked.

"Edwards air force base, it's not far from here".

"How many jumps to this place?".

"Zero, it's inside this planet" The skrull continued to mess with his interface while looking at the holographic projection.

"And why are you showing me this? did I took a different memory crystal, I was sure this was the one, or perhaps this thing is just broken?".

"Our memory extractor is flawless, it can even take memories someone has long forgotten".

The skrull suddenly jumped forward and enveloped his right arm on Vers nape and before anyone could react the Skrull's right hand exploded, creating a purple, hot explosion of pure energy.

BOOM!

Dashing forward Kara took Vers body and rapidly turned around, partially shielding her from the explosion.

Covering Vers with her body Kara hid her friend's face in her c.h.e.s.t while protecting the rest of her body with her cape, contrary to the rest of her suit her cape wasn't protected against the explosion since her invulnerability only extended one centimeter out of her body.

Fortunately for her, her clothes were made out of unstable molecules, this alone allowed her to easily alter her suit to adapt to a certain environment, thus an explosion wouldn't manage to damage her clothes.

Add the Klyntar cells to the equation and now she had a semi-conscious inanimated object connected with her brain that could alter its own form, density, and resistance at any given moment.

When Kara was testing if she had received her invulnerability her clothes already knew what she wanted to do and simply acted accordingly by reducing the resistance of the suit to that of an ordinary one, thus allowing her to see if she had her invulnerability.

And now that she was using her suit to protect someone her cape immediately changed and expanded itself, covering the other parts of vers body like an immovable fortress.

When the explosion finally ended Kara changed her cape to normal once again and started to check her friend's body for any injuries but only saw one at her nape, a deep one that almost reached her bones, fortunately for both of them the wound was quickly healing.

Sitting on the ground Kara put Vers head on her l.a.p, the explosion would have killed anyone else but fortunately, Vers had a powerful healing factor.

Leaning her back on another nearby boulder and taking Vers with her Kara started to think about what had happened.

'That Skrull would rather kill himself and ignore his orders to not kill Vers than to reveal his secrets'.

'That means that he could be lying, the leash made him feel pain when trying to shapeshift but he could very well resist and not shown his pain while trying to control his heartbeat, shapeshifters can, to a certain degree, control their organs after all'.

Two minutes later when her wounds finally healed Vers opened her eyes and jumped forward, standing up on the ground and looking around herself.

"Vers? are you ok?". Kara got up from the ground and put her hand on Vers shoulder, only for her to turn around and jump back while unconsciously activating her powers.

Contrary to what Kara expected Vers light didn't cover only her hands but all her body in bright yellow, blue and white colors.

--------

Vers suddenly woke up, for some reason her nape was hurting as if she had slept in an uncomfortable position, opening her eyes she saw a weird woman with blond hair looking attentively at her while petting her head.

'What?'.

Vers quickly got up, getting her head out of the woman's l.a.p and jumping off the ground she stood up and looked around herself, she had a gigantic headache and was having trouble standing up properly.

'Whatever hit me must have been big'.

Ignoring her pain she looked around herself but only managed to see mountains, trees, and water around herself, she wanted to walk forward to discover how she got there but was suddenly interrupted by a hand landing on her shoulder.

By reflex, she turned around and jumped back while preparing for a fight, the only thing she wasn't expecting was to glow like a Firefly.

Abandoning her fighting stance in surprise she slowly brought her hands up and looked at them, suppressing her surprise she looked further down and saw the same light spreading through her entire body.

'The hell?'

Looking at the blond woman who had a worried expression on her face she opened her mouth to ask a question, but stopped herself when she felt a sudden tingle in her head.

Looking at the sky Vers started to hear dozens of voices inside her mind, not resisting the sudden pain that came with the voices she held her head with her two hands, only for her brain to be electrocuted by her own energy making her cry in pain and fall to the ground.

"AH!"

"VERS!"

'Vers?'. She thought after hearing the distant cries of the woman in front of her

'Is that my... name?'. She thought while feeling her eyes growing heavy.

Releasing her hands Vers fell to the ground and slowly closed her eyes, it was Ok she would just take a quick nap and talk to the Kryptonian Woman.

.

.

.

.

.

Vers slowly opened her eyes, only to block the sun rays with her arm, after getting used to the light she moved her arm away but contrary to the mountains she was expecting to see Vers saw an old woman in front of her, a very familiar one, her mother Mar-vell.

Ignoring all sense of logic she opened her mouth to talk with her, but the sounds that came out were not what she was expecting.

"Hey, he, hey, why the hurry Doc Lawson, we can test this big girl tomorrow".

A woman's voice, similar but not equal to her's said, suppressing her rising anxiety Vers looked around herself, at least she tried to, no matter how much she tried to turn her head the maximum she could do was move her eyes.

Fortunately, this was enough for her to see where she was, an open field with a small black ship in front of her, no one besides Mar-vell in the area, and a desert runway without any Jets or planes in it.

Looking closely at the ship that was in front of her Vers started to analyze its form to see if she could deduce what empire had build it or what planet she was in.

An unknown metal, two thrusters on its back, and one in each wing glowing with blue light, blasters on each side of its head, and two circular compartments close to the start of its wings.

"Yeah, Carol is right, they probably won't let us two test her but there's no need to risk your life piloting a jet fighter that didn't even pass the security tests yet". A black woman with brown eyes and black hair said.

"It's a matter of utmost importance that I pilot this jet, I don't have much time and lives are at stake here, P.E.G.A.S.U.S is being attacked by an unknown force and I have to retrieve the object they want to steal and escape with it before they find it".

"If I don't come back pretend I never existed and never, never say my name again, my allies will protect you two from afar, I have to go".

Lawson turned around and started to climb the stairs to enter the jet's c.o.c.kpit but was suddenly stopped by Carol who held her shoulder and forced her down the stairs.

"Don't bullshit me doc, I didn't enlist myself on the air force and came here because I wanted to test some weapons and stay out of the fight, I came here because I wanted to make a difference".

"And now you are asking me to run with my tail between my legs?, no I'm sorry but you are taking me with you and both of us are going to come back alive".

Lawson stayed silent for some time, glaring at Carol as if ordering her to back down but seeing her equally stubborn look she gave up and sighed in defeat.

"So be it then, Maria, if we don't come back I want you to remember those numbers 5,6,0,9,3 bellow the control room don't say those numbers to anyone else, not even my allies, and as for you Carol, follow me".

Seeing through the eyes of the woman Vers saw her climbing the stairs and sitting on the front with the other woman who looked like Mar-vell, named Lawson, behind her.

Seeing the canopy being closed Vers tried to see the woman's reflection on the glass, the only thing she didn't expect was to see a perfect image of herself with different clothes looking at her.

'What?!". Before Vers could do anything the scenery suddenly changed with her inside the fighter jet already flying.

"So where do we go now Doc?" Vers asked without meaning to.

"5-2-2-9 negative 4-7 8.7-6-8, 0.2"

Looking behind her Vers saw Lawson looking outside the window with a serious expression.

"What's the problem Carol, is everything ok? are you feeling well?". Lawson asked after seeing Carol's confused expression.

Turning her head forward again Carol blinked in confusion, she was thinking about something very important but couldn't remember what.

"Yes, I'm ok my head is just a little bit dizzy from all that".

"Hum, it was the same as me the first time I traveled to space too, almost threw up".

Carol laughed a little but quickly returned with her serious expression, she would die if she didn't take whatever this situation is seriously.

"Alright, where are we going Lawson, you said that you had to retrieve an object but unless we are going to the other side of the planet I don't know where we are heading".

"My laboratory, the tesseract is there".

Carol was about to ask something but suddenly stopped and pushed the jet to the right side, just in time to avoid dozens of energy blasts coming in her direction.

"What the hell was that?!".

"Aliens, now stop making questions and fly faster".

Pressing a button on the right side Lawson turned her seat around and took a wheel who appeared out of the wall while a small screen opened in front of her and two machine guns got out of the two circular compartments above the jet.

Immediately firing the weapons with inhuman accuracy Lawson shot down the ship that was following them with almost no effort.

"What was that?!".

"Aliens like me, we don't have much time, activate the engine and go to Ask'lo, system 004 coordinates F897.BN78803+74X2"

"What are you even talking about-".

"Put the coordinates Carol! I'm not asking I'm ordering".

"Yes ma'am".Carol typed the coordinates on the ship's screen and confirmed the destination, she could freak out later, now she needed to focus.

After confirming the destination, the ship propelled itself forward at a gigantic speed while at the same time shooting a blue light energy beam out of its two blasters that created a hexagonal portal with no visible light inside.

Passing through the portal Carol closed her eyes for one second, she was expecting a collision, not the chilling sensation that traveled up her spine, reacting more in instinct than actual rationality Carol opened her eyes again and just like that the feeling was gone, only to give space to the surprise she was feeling after seeing a blue, green planet much, much bigger than Earth.

Suddenly the radars glowed red and the automatic systems forcefully moved the ship up, dodging an energy blast that would surely have hit the jet's c.o.c.kpit and killed her together with Lawson.

Reacting immediately Carol started to roll the jet in a canopy roll, dodging more energy blasts and turning the jet away from the planet towards space, only to freeze at the sight of hundreds, maybe thousands of sh.i.p.s big and small shooting at each other, it may have been her imagination or perhaps her rising panic but Carol could swear she heard the screams of the people inside the sh.i.p.s who were exploding.

The small moment of distraction caused Carol to briefly forget the other ship that was chasing them, allowing the other party to freely shoot at her jet and destroy one of its wings, causing the jet to fall towards the blue planet at an alarming speed.

"Eject when we approach the ground on 74 miles!".

"No!, they want to steal the lightspeed engine of this ship to travel and conquest other galaxies, if we let them take it the universe will be doomed not even the Shi'ar will be able to stop them!".

"They who? Lawson! you haven't told me who is trying to take this goddam engine and the tesseract until now!". Carol shouted after finally losing her patience.

"The Kree Carol, my race".

Carol wanted to ask another question but was stopped when she realized how close she was to the planet's surface.

Pushing the control stick with all her force she managed to glide the jet and barely slow down her fall, passing through the clouds she managed to see where she was going to crash, a gigantic city with hundreds of buildings.

"Prepare for collision!" Carol shouted while pushing the jet's control stick to try and land in an empty street.

Falling down at a speeding velocity of twenty-five thousand miles per hour Carol finally lost control of the jet and crashed into a building, destroying the two upper wings of the jet and cutting through the entire building with a flaming ship.

Crashing on the ground the jet miraculously didn't explode but started to overturn, breaking even more of its parts.

Abandoning the control stick together with any hope of getting a safe landing Carol held her seat to avoid hitting her head and suffer any more injuries, she would need all her strength if she wanted to survive this.

The jet continued overturning forward, only stopping when hitting what looked like a car with no wheels, almost overturning again but falling back and crashing on the ground with a heavy thud.

Seeing the jet finally coming to a stop Carol removed her helmet and released her seat belt, pressing a button she ejected the c.o.c.kpit and got out of the jet while at the same time checking for any injuries.

Going to the back of the canopy she released Lawson's seat belt and took her out of the jet while putting her hand on her shoulders and supporting her.

"It's ok, I can stand alone". Lawson took out her arm from Carol's shoulders and turned around to the jet's direction.

"So, are you going to explain to me why we are on another planet?".

"The Kree, my race, they conquer other worlds and kill everything who stands on their way, for years I thought I was fighting on the side of the good guys but clearly, I was wrong".

"A race of heroes, noble warrior heroes, that's what they and embarrassingly enough me thought we were, but when I discovered that we were nothing but, as Soren would put it, Space Bullies, I defected and sworn to protect all the races the Kree were trying to subjugate".

"They want to steal my work, the lightspeed engine, made out from the energy of the core, the tesseract, I made it for all the other races being subjugated by the Kree to escape to a place where they would be safe, where the Kree would never find them".

"But somehow they found my location, probably by searching for the tesseract's energy signature inside the lightspeed engine, they want it to conquer other galaxies and spread their empire and they will succeed if they obtain this engine".

Lawson turned around while taking out a small disc from her pocket and put it on Carol's neck.

Entering Carol's skin the disc created small white lines that traveled through her neck, reaching her brain, and causing a small shock on her entire body.

"What was that?" Carol asked a little bit dizzy, whatever lawson had done to her had taken all of her strength away.

"I can't say, they can very well have a memory extractor like the Skulls and rip off your secrets without even needing to touch you, I wanted to give this to Soren or maybe even hide it inside goose but you will have to carry this with you Carol, I'm sorry".

Lawson turned around and took what looked like a pistol out of her belt but before she could shoot a green energy blast hit her shoulder, making her trip to the ground while breathing heavily.

"I thought you would have been dead by now Mar-vell, or is it Lawson now?".

"Y...yon-rogg".

"I'm sorry but I have no time for this, Minn-erva, Kill both of them".

Before anyone could react Lawson jumped out of the ground and dashed towards Carol, receiving an energy blast on her back but managing to turn around in time to shoot at the Jet's thruster, Creating a gigantic explosion of Blue energy that shot directly towards her.

Reacting quickly Carol turned around to protect Lawson, taking all the released energy of the explosion inside her body and blacking out soon after.

Suddenly waking up again Carol jumped out of the ground while breathing heavily, putting her hand on her c.h.e.s.t she was able to feel her quick beating heart, she was alive, she. was. alive.

"Vers, Vers are you ok?". Kara asked while approaching her friend, only to stop when she got up and turned around while starting to cover her body in a yellow, blue, and white aura.

Fully turning around Vers glared at Kara with barely restrained rage, seeing her that way made Kara start to get extremely worried, the explosion that almost killed her friend could very well have messed with her head.

'The fact that she was knocked out also means that her brain had hit her skull possibly causing trauma and even more possibly an injury, I will have to use my x-ray vision to scan for any damage'.

Feeling the heat in the air increasing Kara got out of her thoughts and looked at Vers, a very angry Vers.

"My name is Carol Danvers".
