Marvel: Just A Kryptonian Goddess

[Wednesday, 14:13 AM, 19° 14' 21.0" (J2000), 4.79, 12/3/1995]

Carol walked through the corridors of The Kryptonian Ship in the direction of the forge, she only had to stay inside for about thirty minutes helping Kara, that time was all that took for her friend to power up the energy of two hearts and build all the parts of the new vehicle.

'Although she did look exhausted after that'

She wanted to help Kara more but she obviously wasn't the science-fighter type, she knew how to build a spaceship like everyone else on the Galaxy, sure, but she didn't know how to build a machine CPU of the size of her finger.

How Kara managed to build a small fusion reactor inside that thing and not overheat the entire motorcycle was a mystery to her, even now she was doubtful Lavender wasn't simply joking with her, if the A.I could joke that is.

For what she knew fusion was a thermonuclear process, a process that occurred when two atoms combine to make a larger atom resulting in a gigantic amount of energy being released.

The concept behind this kind of energy was taken from every single star in the universe since fusion naturally occurs inside every one of them, from the day they are born to the day they finally extinguish.

In other words, Kara somehow managed to put the literal energy of an entire star inside a device with less weight than her feet and still somehow not melt the entire thing since she somehow ignored the fact that the ingredients inside the fusion had to be hot to the point that the atoms were stripped of their electrons making a plasma where nuclei and electrons bounced freely.

But since nuclei were all positively charged they would inevitably repel each other, due to this small fact the nuclei inside the Motorcycle had to be going very, very fast or in this case very fast and very hot, at least 14,000,000 °C hot.

Just that would make building a fusion reactor of the size of two hands nearly impossible without quantum particles but somehow Kara did it.

'Or maybe the Kryptonians did it, they did show incredibly advanced technology three thousand years ago'.

But what baffled Carol the most was the fact that the process that occurred inside stars was more like a brute force method and most civilizations didn't use it since it would be too hard, too troublesome, or even too complicated to do it.

Most of them used superconductive electromagnetics cooled with, in most cases, liquid helium to absolute zero, a temperature hard to reach but not impossible contrary to what most human scientists might think.

In the start, the energy produced would only be enough to power a state, now with the rapid evolution of technology it is enough to power an entire planet like earth, of course, the size of the reactor is not small like the scientific impossibility Kara created in less than an hour.

'But then again, Kryptonians were extremely advanced compared to the rest of the known universe'.

'Advanced enough to create a 3.84 trillion psi pressure inside a device of the size of two hands and strong enough to move entire moons'.

Carol shook her head and continued to walk forward, Kara had said much to her about her life but not much about her race besides what she considered common knowledge, she honestly wanted to know more about Kryptonians, in her eyes, they were a very interesting and mysterious race, one that she couldn't help it but want to uncover.

Lifting her head Carol stopped walking and extended her left hand up, touching the surprisingly warm metal of the gate she put her five fingers in its center and waited.

Less than five seconds later the gate started to dissolve into a white light, allowing her hands to pass through it as if the gate wasn't there in the first place.

If Carol had to describe Lavender's security systems she would say they were... creative, Kara tried to put her in the system not too long ago, only to discover that Lavender had already put her in it.

Hence the reason why she could walk freely through the ship without needing to worry about dying in a trap or being killed by throwing herself out on space without her powers being activated in time while thinking she was actually still inside the ship.

Luckily for her Lavender was a very helpful quasi person/A.I and guided her through the ship while telling her about the different security systems, the gate she passed not five seconds ago would have killed anyone that tried to open it by conventional means or use of force with an electrical discharge.

Lavender had said that the entire ship had security systems strong enough to work against Kryptonians and she for all the curiosity that she had was not going to try and test to see if it was true.

Training against that one robot in the factory was more than enough for her.

Giving a last tired sigh Carol shook her head and walked towards Kara who at the moment was down on the Motorcycle calibrating the tires, for some reason she didn't think they were made out of rubber.

"So, how is the motorcycle going?". Carol asked casually while walking towards Kara and stopping meters away from her.

"I already build most of it, the fact that the metal can absorb absurd amounts of energy was annoying at first when I was trying to melt it but now it is being extremely helpful, the chances of the fusion reactor overheating or the sun inside it becoming unstable, not counting external factors is 0,70%".

"And counting external factors?".

"Well". Kara pushed her body from bellow the motorcycle and stood up while looking at Carol.

"Considering the unlikely situation where the motorcycle is hit by a force or energy strong enough to break its defenses I would say the sun the reactor created would have an 87% chance of exploding and destroying whatever planet it is in at the moment"

"There is a small chance of a back hole being created because of the balance between the artificial gravity and the radiation being broken but it is a very small chance, as long as my failsafe works and the reactor deactivates itself on time it won't be a problem".

"And if it doesn't work?".

"Then we have a 100% chance of a black hole of the size of your hand suddenly appearing out of nowhere and slowly destroying the planet".

"The surface gravity of the Blackhole would be billions of times greater than the earth, the tidal force would be so strong that anything that isn't me would have their individual cells ripped apart in less than a second".

"The planet in which the black hole was created would start to 'orbit' the black hole allowing it to slowly consume the entire planet, depending on its mass and radiation when the black hole finally dies the planet would explode".

Carol rested her back on a wall and gave a nod in response, apocalyptic scenarios were starting to become a common thing when Kara was involved.

"I've been meaning to ask you something".

"The reactor will activate in some seconds but the motorcycle still needs to connect with Lavender so, shoot". Kara sat on the motorcycle and looked attentively at Carol.

"How exactly Rao works, I mean, can you give me an estimate of how strong an average Kryptonian is through his life?".

"Well... as I said before we Kryptonians are considered a.d.u.l.ts when we reach fifty, this is not just a random number, fifty is the age we, or better yet out bodies stop growing".

"Bones, muscles and tissue grown through the first fifty years of a Kryptonian's life to their maximum, we can grow to up until 10 feet, 8 being the average height, although some Kryptonians like my master can be smaller than average, our muscles are incredibly dense, and as such an average eight-foot Kryptonian would normally weight around 40,000 pounds".

"So..."

"Yes, the only reason the ground wasn't breaking when I stepped on it was because of my bioelectric aura, I have to constantly push my body up as to try to lower my weight and not break anything, but as I was saying our bodies grow immensely through our first fifty years of life, what doesn't grow is our ability to absorb radiation".

"The older a Kryptonian gets the better their cells get in absorbing and storing solar radiation but as I said earlier the first fifty years of the life of a Kryptonian only their bodies grow efficiently, not their cells".

"The only reason I was as strong as I was in Krypton was because of my ability, it allowed me to push my body beyond my limits but somethings would only come with time, brute strength being one of then".

"I could very well beat a Kryptonian trice my age, if I used everything I had including my mind and extensive knowledge on technology but in pure force? I would get destroyed in a single punch, well... if I was in Krypton that is".

Carol nodded with her head in understanding, so Kara was stronger than an ordinary Kryptonian but due to her age, she was still weak at the same time.

"So... how strong is a Seven hundred-year-old Kryptonian?.

"Well, it depends, some are as fragile as me due to their old age and others like the ones on the council... well, a seven hundred-year-old Kryptonian would be able to single-handedly fight against an empire like the Shi'ar".

"As for the strongest Kryptonian alive H'el, he would be considered a universal level threat, 1298 years of age and with the ability to absorb and store much more solar radiation than a normal Kryptonian".

"Of course If it was only that he wouldn't be considered the strongest Kryptonian, what is special about him is his ability to absorb the radiation from different Stars and still retain their given abilities even after being bathed in Rao's light".

'Hel's arsenal is without a doubt the biggest of any Kryptonian, from teleportation and Telekinesis to size alteration and molecular manipulation H'EL is without a doubt the most powerful Kryptonian alive, even without counting his years of service in the exploration Unit'

"My master should be able to somewhat fight against three or four of the seven Council members individually, the fight would be balanced but I wouldn't be able to say to you who would be the winner since those four are between 500 and 600 years old".

Carol adopted a thoughtful expression, Kara always talked about her master, it was clear to her that he was the person she most admired.

"You always talk about your master and how great he is but, why is he so great and powerful, is he a hero or something?".

Kara looked at Carol with a surprised expression and a smile on her face, she loved bragging about her master, and who could blame her? he was the best teacher she could possibly have in Krypton after all.

"You could say that, contrary to me, my master, I- was a prodigy, extremely intelligent and talented he quickly proved himself to be a leader in his youth and with mere forty-two years of age he entered the exploration unit".

"A very impressive feat since at the time and even today to enter the exploration unit one would have to be at least fifty and even then they would have to be outstanding to even be considered to be sent away from Krypton in missions".

"Ant yet with mere 42 years of age he managed to enter the exploration team and be sent in missions not even three years later".

"Some though his ability was responsible for his intelligence, but no, his ability allowed him to absorb Rao's radiation at a much rapid pace allowing him to be the strongest Kryptonian of his generation".

"H'el, for example, had this same ability and ended up becoming the strongest Kryptonian, hell he even managed to live up until his 1298 years before Krypton exploded".

'Of course, he had more than one ability but those are just details'

"But going back to my master, only that would already be enough to put him as one of the brightest geniuses of New Krypton but it wasn't enough for him, no, his ambition was much bigger and not with his talent but with hard work he managed to, even to this day be acknowledged as one of the most Skilled fighters of New Krypton, only bellow three other Kryptonians".

"If I didn't have plans to have a family with Alrya then I would be going with him on his missions as a way to gain more experience". Kara said in a neutral tone.

"Hum, just one last thing you never told me his na-".

Click!

Suddenly the motorcycle made a weird sound as if something had just clicked together, getting up and looking at her vehicle Kara saw purple lines being formed bellow the motorcycle and activating its nanites to change its structure.

At first, Kara was adamant to build most of the Motorcycle with nanites in fear of being destroyed with only one lucky shot but after connecting all of them with psionic energy and gluing everything with electromagnets she calmed down.

It was improbable that something could bypass the energy shield, the energy shield that had the force of a star backing it up but Kryptonians were not alive to this day because they trusted everyone, they were alive because they only trusted Rao and their own race.

Getting out of her thoughts Kara continued to look at her now complete motorcycle, most of its body was black with the exception of the windscreen who was white and had a V shape while the mirror inside it was completely black for someone who looked from outside.

The seat was large enough for someone to lay down on it and drive the motorcycle, a design Kara made on purpose since it would allow the windscreen to protect the driver from any front projectiles in the unlikely case the energy shield was shattered.

Not only that but windscreen also had a screen that allowed the driver to control the motorcycle systems including the reactor.

"So, what do you think?".Kara asked Carol without taking her eyes out of the motorcycle.

"It looks a little bit too futuristic for Earth and the seat is too large don't you think?".

"The nanites can change the form and structure of the motorcycle until the point where it doesn't look any different from a normal Earthling vehicle, and the seat is this large simply because this is the main configuration of the nanites".

"This is the form I would use to discreetly infiltrate inside a fortress, the tires don't cause any sound and the motorcycle can become invisible together with the driver".

"To put it simply I would lay down with my stomach on the seat, the handlebar would not only allow me to control the motorcycle's direction but also the front blasters the nanites would form with my command".

"The two footpegs would allow me to control the motorcycle's center of gravity if used correctly nothing will be able to overturn the thing, I made this just in case I need to use the motorcycle again in the future".

Kara gave a mental command to Lavender making the motorcycle change and start rebuilding itself around the reactor, less than five seconds later the motorcycle changed, adopting a endure form.

"So, how will we invade that base?". Carol asked.

"Earth doesn't have enough technology to build a functionally interconnected planetary system but for what I was able to gather their military, the US more specifically has an advanced system to recognize and categorize its members".

"I made a basic false identity for both of us, all I have to do now is send the information to their database, but we will have to be fast, the Skrulls are surely monitoring most of the network of the planet in hopes of finding us and two sudden identities popping out of nowhere will surely alarm them".

"The moment I send the information they will know and because of that we will have to be fast, we will only have five minutes before a spaceship comes down raining fire on us, even less if they have any operative on the airbase, and knowing those Skrulls? they do".

Carol looked at Kara's eyes and without a second of hesitation, she answered. "Alright, let's do this".

-----------------

[Wednesday, 14:22 AM, Kern County, Southern California]

Stopping at the main gate with her motorcycle Kara took off her sunglass and looked at the camera who was at the signal, in front of her were some metallic rods and guard rails at the side of the street who prevented anyone from passing.

A normal person would just think that those things were all that prevented someone from invading the base but not her, even without her X-ray vision locating all the five hidden sentry's on the ground she would be able to see that this entry was much more than what it seemed at first glance.

The simple fact that all she needed to do to lower the blocks was to open her visor and look at the camera proved that the security systems of this base were much more advanced than what they should have been.

'Mar-vell probably made this entire place a fortress, a fortress that could very well have been stolen from her'.

Feeling Carol's finger poking her back Kara returned to reality and started to drive towards the base, she had less than five minutes remaining until the skrulls came and she certainly didn't have the privilege to waste that time.

Arriving at the parking lot Kara parked her vehicle and got out of her motorcycle, taking her helmet off she put it in the handgrip while taking off her sunglasses, shaking her head Kara revealed her black hair and brown eyes.

'Disguises are made to make someone forgettable, ordinary, to look at someone and forget they even existed in the first place on the next second'.

Looking behind her Kara saw Carol in her disguise, a slightly darker tone of skin, short brown hair, and green eyes.

Without saying anything the two of them started to walk forward in the direction of the control room, using her X-Ray vision Kara quickly scouted the place to see if it had some kind of defensive system.

'7 cameras, a fingerprint scanner, a hidden panel with numbers 0 to 9 in the elevator and a room I can't see below the elevator, probably made out of lead'. Kara thought while sending a mental message to Carol with Lavender's held.

They couldn't talk telepathically but Lavender could read their thoughts and send simple words to one another with the help of the psionic metal who was at the back of their ears, she could make something better in time but a more complex device would surely be detected by the skrulls.

Lifting her hand Kara looked at her watch and quicked her pace, her ship was already picking radioisotope energy signatures coming in her direction.

'Faster, sh.i.p.s arriving'.

Looking forward again Kara's eyes widened, acting quickly she took Carol's arm and pushed her inside of the hangars.

"What are-".

"Fury is here". Kara interrupted Carol before she could ask anything.

"Fury?".

Ignoring Carol's question Kara walked towards one of the fighter jets while taking off her watch out of her arm.

"One of the agents who tried to capture us, probably a Skrull".

Kara took the two straps out of her watch and put them on one of the jets, making the strap start to dissolve itself into small nanomachines that tore through the jet's titanium body, entering its systems and closing the holes they created after passing through them.

"What was that?".

"Nanomachines, they will invade all the warplanes systems to allow Lavender to control them, our timing was wrong, the skrulls already predicted we were going to come here, we have 2 minutes before this place becomes a war zone".

"What about the humans working here?"

"I doubt there is even one human in this place if they already knew we were going to be coming here then they must already have set up everything".

"Skulls can transform into anything, as long as they have already seen the being they are transforming into, that means that they can't create a new face for themselves, they have to copy the ones they see".

"The simple implication of this ability leads me to belie that they have a perfect memory when it comes to remembering every detail on a person's face, in other words, unless we change the shape of our faces they will recognize us".

"So, this was a trap from the beginning".

Kara walked forward and used her heat vision to cut the hangar's walls and climb on its rooftop together with Carol.

Arriving at the rooftop Kara immediately started to run towards the control room, her and Carol's boots could nullify sound waves allowing her to move more freely through any kind of field without alerting an enemy.

Looking bellow herself while jumping Kara saw agent fury talking with other two people, a pilot, and a sergeant, ignoring this she continued to run towards her destination.

Landing on the ground Kara quickly opened the doors of the control room and let Carol pass through, after that she turned around and entered the room while silently closing the door.

Using her heat vision she quickly destroyed all the four cameras who were close to her position, pushing Carol forward she entered the elevator and rapidly closed the door as to not alert anyone they were there.

Shooting a weak photon blast Carol exploded

the control panel, resulting in a small secret compartment detaching itself from the panel revealing a smaller panel with numbers from 0 to 9 on it.

"5,6,0,9,3". Carol said while pressing each digit.

"... Are you sure this is the righ-".

Before Kara could say anything else the elevator suddenly dropped down making her give an eep in surprise.

Less than two seconds later the elevator stopped, making Kara almost fall to the ground, Ignoring her friend's surprise Carol looked forward to see the elevator's doors slowly opening, without wasting anymore time Both her and Kara walked past the doors to look at the corridor in front of them.

A medium-sized corridor with white, metallic walls, a gigantic white/gray Gate with two security cameras on each side, and a circular panel made out of black glass on its center.

'Wait, security cameras?'.

Kara suddenly jumped back and used her heat vision to destroy one of the Cameras, only for her attack to harmlessly dissipate when touching the camera's shell as if she didn't even hit the camera in the first place.

"Wha-"

Before Kara could say anything else both security Cameras opened two compartments above their heads and shot two ropes at Kara who unfortunately didn't have any time to dodge due to her surprise, a mistake that resulted in both ropes binding both her arms and legs, making her fall to the ground and hit her face in the floor.

Seeing this Carol immediately activated her powers and jumped in front of Kara in a protective stance.

Seeing an opportunity Kara tried to break out of the ropes, only for them to tighten even more around her body and disrupt her blood flow causing her to let out a small grunt of pain.

'There are not many metals capable of locking a Kryptonian, if those cameras attack and capture Carol we will be hopeless against the Skrulls'.

"Don't attack!". Kara shouted after seeing Carol ready to fire at the security cameras.

Immediately stopping with her attack Carol gave a brief glance towards Kara but turned her attention towards the security cameras while at the same time not abandoning her stance, weirdly they didn't outright attack her like she was expecting, they just stayed there immovable looking at her.

"They answer to hostile attacks, as long as you Don't attack they won't react".

Hearing this Carol dropped out of her stance and turned around to help Kara, crouching down she took the metallic rope with both her hands and used all her strength to rip the rope out of Kara's body, only for them to tighten even more almost breaking her fingers and making her friend let out a cry of pain.

"Sorry, Sorry!". Carol shouted while taking her hands out of the ropes, if she tried again Kara wouldn't be the only one with broken bones.

"Its... ok, there are not many things that can restrain me... much less make me feel pain, but this". Kara looked attentively at the ropes restraining her, learning Metallurgy was a must for any Kryptonian who d.e.s.i.r.ed to become an engineer and she was no different.

"A rope made out of Kryptonian metal certainly can".

"How did lawson even get this thing?".

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that I'm incapacitated and the only way to get this thing out of me is either open that gate or fly to my ship and we both know we can't lose this opportunity".

Kara turned her head in the direction of the gate and used her X-ray vision, unfortunately for her she didn't manage to see anything beyond the doors besides the wires behind the black, circular glass in the middle of the gigantic door.

"I already saw that kind of gate in my ship, you just need to put your hand on the center and wait for the matrix to analyze your biology".

"And if this thing rejects me?".

"You either get in the same position as me or those doors open, you said yourself, Lawson gave you something before she died, it could very well be a key, a key only you have now".

Carol only hesitated for one second before getting up and slowly walking towards the metallic gate, Lawson was an extremely intelligent Kree, a fact proven when she created the lightspeed engine.

So for her, it was not a stretch of her imagination to think that Lawson could possibly have given the 'key' to somehow locate and retrieve the core, the artifact responsible for giving her her powers.

Giving a last sigh of nervousness Carol extended her arm to touch the center of the metallic gate.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you".

Only freeze and rapidly turn around while aiming her closed fist at the owner of the voice, that being agent Fury who at the moment was pointing a sniper rifle at Kara's head, the same one that managed to harm her before.

"Now, why don't you turn off your light show and lower your hands, you can be fast but at this distance, I will turn her brain into pasta before you can take even one step".

Carol stayed still for some seconds but eventually deactivated her powers and got out of her stance, putting her hands up in the air, and glaring at Fury with hateful eyes, Kara's life was not worth whatever was behind those doors.

"Good girl, now we will stay exactly still until my boss arrives here, understood?".

The only answer he received was the glaring eyes of Carol.

"Understood?". Fury asked while touching the sniper's muzzle in Kara's head, it was obvious he was being careful against Kara's heat vision.

"Understood". Carol said between gritted teeth.

"Good". Fury took a walkie talkie from his pocket with his right hand and put it in his ear.

"Boss, I have the tw-".

BOOM!

Before Fury could say anything else a gigantic sound surged behind him, hearing the noise beforehand, and using her reflexes Carol managed to push her body to the left side, just in time to dodge a small projectile that would surely have taken her shoulder together with it.

Unfortunately, Fury was not so fast, resulting in him being hit by the projectile and losing a good chunk of his head in the process.

Falling to the ground Fury's body started to change revealing what remained of the face of a dead Skrull when he finally hit the ground.

"You don't mess with humans you motherf*cker".

Looking at where the voice was coming from Carol saw Fury holding what looked like a futuristic magnum.

"Agent Fury?". Kara asked from her position on the ground, she only heard him once but she did recognize his voice.

"The one and only, I wasn't knocked out after you punched me but was in too much pain to move, fortunately for me, those green freaks didn't think the same and decided to move me to another location by car".

"I decided to act when I overheard one of them saying that the targets were moving as planned, after that, I knocked one of them out and acted as if I was one of them, they thought I was that guy and decided to send me here".

"I'm glad they did but at the same time not so much, the moment you two get out of here there will be hundreds of them waiting outside, If you two have any idea of how to escape them I'm all ears".

Carol turned around and walked towards the gate, putting her hand on the black glass the doors started to open revealing a small circular room with a single computer in the center of it.

Seeing this Carol grinned and turned around to look directly at Fury and Kara's eyes.

"I might have a few ideas".

Seeing Carol's maniac smile Fury was starting to have a bad feeling about this.
