Chapter 82: Siblings Reunion

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Siblings Reunion

The command ship had already completed its bombardment and returned to the fleet. Yon-Rogg’s squad landed in a shallow body of water.

As soon as everyone got ashore, the team’s sniper, Minn-Erva, the woman who never seemed to like Carol, immediately headed for higher ground to provide overwatch.

The rest of the squad moved out together. Since this was Carol’s first time fighting Skrulls, she forced herself to be a little more patient than usual and stayed with the main group.

Even so, she still swaggered confidently at the very front of the formation.

"Minn-Erva, do you copy?" Yon-Rogg asked over the squad’s communication channel.

No response came. He tried again, but there was still only silence. The Skrulls had most likely jammed their communications. Not long afterward, they encountered a group of Torfa’s native inhabitants.

"Hold it."

Yon-Rogg raised a hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"We can’t confirm whether they’re actually natives or Skrulls in disguise."

"We’ll take another route."

One of the soldiers frowned.

"If we detour, it’ll take us much longer to reach the temple."

"Safety comes first," Yon-Rogg replied firmly.

Carol had already reached the limit of her patience. Without another word, she dashed forward.

"I’m heading to the temple first!"

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the distance.

"...Figures."

Watching her vanish, Yon-Rogg could only sigh helplessly.

"Let’s keep moving."

"If we lose contact, regroup at the transport."

Not long after, Yon-Rogg’s team ended up running into the Torfa natives after all, and before they knew it, both sides were tangled together in a chaotic fight.

.....

Carol reached the ancient temple. There, she spotted someone curled up beneath a heavy cloak.

’That looks like Soh-Larr.’

She had seen his photograph before. Walking closer, she confirmed the person’s identity. Still, just to be safe, she exchanged the Kree authentication code with him.

Everything matched perfectly. So, satisfied, Carol casually sat down beside him. The Kree Empire’s identification codes had never been compromised before, so she had absolutely no reason to doubt him.

"How are you holding up?"

"Can you still walk?"

"I’ll get you out of here in a minute."

While she spoke, a completely different thought ran through her mind.

’This mission is so boring.’

’It’s way too easy.’

’I haven’t even seen a single Skrull yet, and it’s already about to be over.’

’I haven’t even gotten to fight.’

’What a waste.’

Just then, Yon-Rogg’s voice suddenly came through her communicator. Carol had barely turned her attention towards it when the man beside her moved.

A surge of electricity shot through her body, and everything went black.

.....

When Carol opened her eyes again, a splitting headache assaulted her. It felt as though something had been rummaging through her brain and she found herself restrained on an operating platform.

"Did we get anything useful?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

"We’ve only confirmed one thing so far," another voice replied.

"Dr. Lawson is still on Planet C-53."

"Then head for C-53."

"And keep digging."

"We need more information."

The first voice spoke decisively.

Carol secretly began channeling her cosmic energy. The moment a Skrull reached over and pressed a device against her forehead, she exploded into action. The restraints shattered apart.

She sprang off the table and drove a powerful kick into the Skrull, sending him flying across the room. Without wasting a second, she grabbed another Skrull who appeared to be their leader and locked him in a chokehold.

"What did you do to me?"

Carol demanded.

"Nothing much."

"We simply examined your memories."

The Skrull leader answered calmly despite being held hostage.

"It seems the Kree have done quite a number on your mind."

Carol froze, her grip loosened instinctively. The Skrull leader immediately slipped free and leaped backward.

"Get her!"

A swarm of Skrulls rushed towards Carol from every direction. Looking at the sea of enemies surrounding her, Carol grinned.

"I was just wondering where I was going to find a fight."

She ignored everything the Skrull had just told her. There was plenty of time to think later.

First, she’d beat them all and once they were lying on the floor, she’d get every answer she wanted.

Besides, Skrulls were notorious liars. Who knew if anything that guy said was even true?

Although her wrists were still locked together by metal restraints, Carol didn’t care in the slightest.

On the contrary, she was excited, as nothing thrilled her more than a good fight. She accelerated straight into the middle of the Skrulls.

Punches, kicks, elbows, went everywhere, and when both hands and feet were occupied, she simply slammed people with her head.

The battle ended almost as quickly as it began. Within moments, every Skrull in the room had been beaten unconscious.

Only one had escaped, the leader she’d taken hostage at the beginning.

"Huh."

"They weren’t much of a challenge."

Carol activated her powers at full force. Orange golden energy erupted from her bound hands, blasting apart the thick metal restraints.

Finally free, she flexed her fingers and clenched both fists.

"The real fight is only just beginning."

Excitement filled her voice. She could feel every cell in her body coming alive. This was a massive ship, so there had to be plenty more Skrulls aboard.

Sure, they were a little weak, but there were a lot of them and that was enough for her.

She charged through the corridors, and every Skrull she encountered was knocked flat before they even had a chance to react.

She bulldozed through the ship without anyone capable of stopping her. Eventually, she reached the escape pod bay.

There she found the same Skrull leader. He was just about to launch an escape pod. Naturally, Carol wasn’t about to let him get away. She stepped forward, reaching to drag him back out.

Seeing he had no chance of escaping by force, the Skrull suddenly shouted.

"Daniel!"

He had seen that name countless times while searching through Carol’s memories. It appeared again and again. So, with nothing left to lose, he gambled.

The familiar name struck Carol like lightning. She froze where she stood. It felt as though she had once spoken that name every single day.

It was deeply engraved somewhere in her heart, yet no matter how desperately she searched... she couldn’t remember who it belonged to.

Taking advantage of her stunned silence, the Skrull slammed the hatch shut. The escape pod launched immediately. As it shot away, he couldn’t help but feel bitter.

He had thought he’d captured a huge prize. Instead, he had captured a monster. One woman had single-handedly beaten everyone aboard an entire warship. What an unbelievable loss.

By the time Carol snapped back to reality, the pod was already speeding away.

With her impulsive personality, there was only one possible response, chase it.

She yanked another Skrull out of a nearby escape pod that was preparing for launch. Without any hesitation, she climbed inside herself.

.....

Daniel had been kicked out of the house.

The reason? He had successfully gotten Susan thoroughly flustered and emotionally worked up only to be unable to follow through it.

Frustrated beyond belief, Susan finally lost her patience and threw him out. With nowhere else to go, Daniel sighed pitifully.

Feeling sorry for himself, he put on his new vibranium suit and decided to visit Sun for some comfort.

He had only recently gotten this new set. In fact, he’d barely worn it a handful of times. Today was the perfect opportunity to take it out.

Just remembering King T’Chaka’s exasperated expression made Daniel want to laugh. Since everyone had become much more familiar with one another, formalities had gradually disappeared.

As a result, Daniel found himself making more and more trips to Wakanda to "borrow" things.

These days, he even had an entire section dedicated to storing vibranium suits along with regular clothes. Every time he opened his wardrobe and saw it becoming more and more full, he couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of happiness.

The outfit he was wearing today wasn’t his usual combat suit.

It was a suit made of gold-white colors. The suit gleamed with a brilliant golden white finish, complemented by a similar color white cape with golden borders.

It looked incredibly majestic. The sheer presence it gave off was on another level. Wearing it, Daniel looked less like a superhero and more like a god descending to Earth.

After enjoying a wonderful nap embraced by the Sun, Daniel finally flew back towards Earth the next day. While descending through Earth’s atmosphere, he looked around idly to pass the time.

Then, he saw the person he had been thinking about every single day. His eyes widened with excitement, and without the slightest hesitation, he shot towards her at top speed.

.....

Carol was currently talking with Nick Fury.

Their conversation had drifted toward the subject of interstellar soldiers, and the stories she was telling had both Fury and the agent beside him, Phil Coulson, laughing out loud.

Suddenly, a violent gust of wind swept across the area. The force was so strong neither of them could keep their eyes open.

When they finally managed to squint through the wind, they saw someone floating silently in the sky.

A man clad in a magnificent golden white suit, a white-gold cape danced behind him in the wind.

His features were almost impossibly perfect, as though they had been carved by the hands of a master sculptor. The exact same thought appeared in both Fury’s and Coulson’s minds.

’Is he... a god?’

Daniel hovered in front of Carol before slowly descending to the ground. He looked at the familiar face he had missed for so long. His expression softened.

With a warm and gentle smile, he said.

"Carol..."

"You’re finally back."
