Fury was right, the Skrull were planning to double cross us from the very beginning. An idea I didn't approve of, but didn't care enough to retaliate back, especially since my focus was solely on Captain Marvel, she had arrived to the planet just like in the movie, four hours ago, and was currently close to a radio shack close to my house according to my maps, if my memory serves me right she was trying to contact the Kree.
"What are we going to do with the Skrull?" Fury asked, as he petted Goose.
Oh yeah, Fury had no idea I didn't care about the Skrull at all at the moment, my main concern was the Kree. "I don't know." I replied.
"Very helpful." Fury sighed, rubbing his eyes, when all of the sudden he got a text message. "I'm gonna get some coffee, you want some?" he asked after a second of silence.
"Yeah, anything it's good." I nodded.
"Roger that." Fury replied, grabbing the keys of his car from the kitchen table before leaving the apartment.
Once I was alone, I started to try and connect the dots of the events occurring around me, if I remembered correctly, Talos was supposed to arrive at earth around the same time Captain Marvel did, but he didn't he arrived almost a year earlier, meaning one of two things, one the events of Captain Marvel in the movie were off, or my presence here had fucked something the timeline as I knew it.
This also brought up the question, were the Skrull bad in this reality, I mean, in most comics they were villains, and perhaps in this reality they were too, I mean, for all I knew some of the MCU material I knew was not really canon.
Oh well, I suppose I shall give them the benefit of the doubt, if they do happen to be a threat though, well, I will eliminate them.
"Time to say hi, to Carol Denvers." I chuckled, opening a portal to where she was, well, to the radio shack she crashed into.
Walking out of the Radio Shack, I saw Carol in the phone booth across the street just like in the movie, talking with someone, her commander. [Carol Denvers - Vers LV 219 [SUPPRESSED] ]
Suppressed, well that's the first time I saw a tag like that, smiling, I walked up to the booth, and knocked at the glass. "Hello." I waved as she turned, turning off her connection to her commander.
"Hi." Carol smiled, trying not to look suspicious, but I mean, she was dressed like a cosplayer in the middle of nowhere, so yeah, she was suspicious by definition.
She was a few levels higher than me, and if the movie was anything to go by, she was stubborn, so I had to tread carefully. The last thing I wanted was to kill one of the big shots of this universe. "My name is Alex Walker, and we need to talk."
"I would love to, but… as you can see, I am busy…" She really was a frontliner, her acting skills were painfully bad.
"I am sorry, Vers, but we need to talk." I smiled, shocking her, for why would a human know her Kree given name.
"Skrull!" Carol hissed, punching me in the face.
"First of all, auch, second, I am no Skrull, you bitch." I blinked twice, Fury was rubbing off on me.
"Yeah, right!" Carol hissed, jumping into the air, her fist glowing.
"Ok, you want to do this the hard way, let's." I sighed, opening a portal as she descended on me, teleporting her aggressive ass to the antarctic tundra.
"You lying bitch." I heard someone say with a chuckle, that someone was Fury.
"Fury, hey bud, where is that coffee at?" I waved at him.
"You knew something was happening here, and you didn't tell me?" Fury chuckled.
"You didn't tell me either." I pointed out with a knowing smile, I knew the text message he had received was about the radio shack incident.
"You are basically all seeing, besides, you are my heavy hitter, don't want to tire your ass with detective work, more than not these missions are nothing but an old lady with an overly active imagination." Fury replied.
I laughed. "Ok, well… I am off to try and speak with a very aggressive lady."
"I assume she is the one that fucked that Radio Shack?" Fury pointed to the radio shack in question.
"Indeed." I nodded.
"Can you tell me more, I mean… anything at all?" Fury sighed.
"I will in a bit, but first, I need everything you have on Carol Denvers, if she killed a bug and was recorded I want it, ok?" That information would help Carol to understand she was being used, I hoped.
"Ok." Fury nodded.
"Just like that?" A new voice asked, startling me, it was no other than Agent Coulson. "He is unknown, shouldn't we question him too?"
"Question him, ha! Be my guest, in fact, let me get some popcorn." Fury snorted, "Question him funny."
"God, I didn't even notice he was behind you all this time, he needs a bell on his neck or something." I chuckled.
"Sir, do you know this man?" Coulson inquired.
"No Agent, I just befriended a random stranger on the street, now get your ass back in the car, he outranks you in SHIELD anyways." Fury replied with just the hint of a smile.
"He works for… my apologies Sir." Coulson bowed, why was he bowing though?
"I am… a consultant of sorts, but SHIELD decided to give me a title, above most normal agents like you, anyway, I have a very aggressive blonde to talk to, and little time to do it." The last thing I wanted was for Carol to discover she could fly.
"Ok, while you talk with the possible threat, I will get the files you requested." Fury nodded.
"Carol Denvers had a best friend, don't remember her name, all I know is she's alive, so bring her to my apartment and text me, I will keep miss bitch on the tundra until you do." I replied.
"Miss bitch?" Fury snorted.
"She punched my face, ergo, she's a bitch." I believed in equal rights, and lefts, and knees.
"Well, I am off to help your ass, and get some coffee too." Fury chuckled, walking with Coulson to his car, as I opened the portal to where I had dropped Captain Marvel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened a portal to the Antarctica, where I found Captain Marvel walking aimlessly into the nowhere, cursing like a sailor as she did so. "Ready to talk? Or you will try to punch me again?" I said, announcing my presence to her from above.
Hearing my voice, Captain Marvel halted, turning around baring her teeth like a wolf ready to attack its prey. "Try? I got a pretty good hit last time." she hissed.
"While I was saying hi, congratulations, you punched a guy saying hi, want a medal?" I shot back, frowning at her.
"Your tears would be enough, I need no medal." Captain Marvel sneered, her eyes on me as she did so. Her fists glowing in a dim yet threatening amber color, letting me know she was getting ready to fight.
"Look, I don't like you, the punch pretty much sealed that. But, I know something you don't, something you want to know, and need to know, like why are you having those dreams, about that person." I stated, my eyes cold as I stare at her. "I also have the power to trap you here, forever if need be, so how about we have a civilized talk."
Captain Marvel tensed, as if weighing her options. "We can talk." she said after a few seconds of consideration, her mouth forming a thin line as she did so.
"Good." I nodded.

Now quests gave stats? Well, that's new. Though I am worried about the crazy night reward. "Ok, I'll start the only way I know, from the beginning, your name is not Vers, is Carol Denvers." I chuckled, realizing something. "Den-vers, see what the Kree did there?"
Carol stared at me, her gaze unreadable, for a moment I even thought she was about to attack me, jump at me, ready to break my spine Bane style, but she did not, instead she looked at me in the eye, and commanded. "Speak."
And so I did, after all, there were commands I had no problem following.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Nick Fury POV]
Being friends with Alex meant you were bound to do weird shit, the motherfucker was crazy, but boy was he efficient, so I was glad to assist him, after all, he brought the results I wanted, and was careful enough not to leave any trails that could implicate him in anything.
Finding information about Carol Denvers, easy enough, finding her best friend, easy as well.
"Why am I here?" Maria Rambeau asked.
"A colleague of mine needs you, Ms. Rambeau." I replied, as I dialed to call Alex.
"That doesn't answer anything. All I know is that you basically kidnapped me because a man I don't know, asked for me. Which is seriously troubling." Maria said, staring at me.
"It has something to do with Carol Denvers, who according to our records was close friends with you." I replied, cursing Alex for not answering his motherfuckering phone. I bought the bastard a satellite phone just for this shit, and he still doesn't answer.
"Carol died a long time ago." Maria hissed, her eyes telling me enough.
"That's what her file said, but then again, when was anything according to file." I replied, showing her the pic the cameras of Radio Shack had caught. "Does she look like your friend?"
Maria stared at the pic, her eyes going wide. "Impossible…" she mumbled.
"Meh, improbable maybe. But impossible? In the world we live in? Haha, no." I replied, calling Alex again, that bitch was about to get a slap, nobody ghosts Nick Motherfucking Fury.
"Sir, do we even know where he is?" Coulson asked, god Alex was right, Coulson was invisible at times.
"Oh god, I had forgotten all about you." I chuckled. "Yes we know, he is talking with a woman in the Antarctica."
"Is that woman… carol?" Maria asked, not daring to hope.
"Chances are, she is. Otherwise, why would Alex ask for you?" I replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Alex Walker POV]
Our conversation started pretty civilized, but soon turned into a brawl. Let's just say she didn't agree or believe some of the stuff I had shared with her, and was now trying to… well, kill me?
"You think I will believe that?" Carol hissed, punching me in the face, as I whipped the bitch to an iceberg with a magical whip.
"If only you could wait, you would see I am telling the truth!" I shot back.
"You want me to believe I… that all my life was a lie?" Carol asked, her voice sounding tired.
"Not all of it, just the last decade." I replied.
"What proof do you even have?!" Carol growled.
"If you let me answer my phone, I can get you that proof!" I growled back.
"You have thirty seconds!" Carol roared.
"Eat a dick!" I roared back, calling Fury, who answered immediately.
"Finally, bitch! I have been--" Before he could finish that sentence, I cut him off.
"Fury, I do not have the time. Do you have what I asked for?!" If he didn't I was about to punch Carol amnesic, fuck the quest.
"I do." Fury replied.
"Good, then buckle up."
"Buckle up for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Why did he scream like a little girl? Well, I opened a portal in front of his car, and well… he went right through it, and now was falling into an iceberg. Of course before he did, I stopped the car with my telekinesis.
"Is that your proof?" Carol said, glaring at me.
"It is." I replied as dryly as possible.
Slamming the door of his car open, Fury came out, as white as the Antarctica itself. "You… crazy… bitch!"
"Enough about that, where are the files, and Maria Rambeau?" I asked, only to hear a woman mutter.
"Carol…"
