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

Free from the feeble restraints that once hold us, I smiled as I walked up to Yon-Rogg with a rather condescending look as he stood up from the ground. "Well, I think it's safe to assume Carol broke free from your Skynet wannabe."

Yon-Rogg hissed, baring his teeth at me like an animal in dismay.

"Is that all? A hiss, frankly I expected something more eloquent as your last words." I chuckled, punching the Kree general on the face with enough strength to send him flying across the room. "Though I suppose a hiss has its charm." I added.

"I will kill you, and then Vers." Yon-Rogg growled, standing up from the ground as he did so.

"Good luck with that." I said, cracking my knuckles.

"I need no such thing." Yon-Rogg smiled, aiming his arms at me, and it wasn't after a second after that I realized what he was doing. "Die." With that said, Yon-Rogg used his gravity gauntlets to blast me into the wall with moderate strength.

However, the attack did way, and I mean way less than he expected, for I simply stood up, brushing my clothes. "You know. I've been wanting to try my armor for a while, wanna be test subject one?"

Angered by my attitude, Yon-Rogg took a blaster from one of the few men he still had alive and started to shoot at me.

"Want me to kill him?" Bucky asked as he snapped the neck of a Kree with shocking ease.

"Nah, I got it." I smiled, equipping my armor as I did, it was time to test my masterpiece. "Ok, now, go ahead and attack me as much as you can." I said, armor on, ready to experiment.

However, before I could even get hit by the Kree general, a violent roar was heard at the distance, the sound slowly approaching with each passing second, making the intensity of the roar grow exponentially. "Yon-Rogg!!!"

"I guess I won't get to test my armor." I sighed in disappointment, as Carol blasted through the walls like the Kool-Aid man, coming into view.

"I am free Yon-Rogg." Carol grinned, glaring at her former mentor with pure unadulterated anger. [Carol Denvers- Captain Marvel LV 270]

Level 270, that was quite a jump on power, though I expected her to be stronger, perhaps with time her level would increase.

"So, you got this?" I asked Carol.

"Nice armor." Carol complimented.

"I know." Of course it was a good set of armor, I made it! "Well if you are gonna kill him, then I'm off."

"Evacuate everyone." Carol said, turning to look at Yon-Rogg.

"You heard the lady, let's go." Fury agreed.

Not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed I didn't get to test my armor and such, but all and all, the Kree were cannon fodder for me, all I was doing here was buying Carol time to deal with Windows XP to unlock her powers.

Now that my mission is complete. I had no real reason to care for the Kree.

"Fine by me." I nodded, opening a portal for everyone.

"I am too human for this shit." Fury sighed, as he watched the Skrull walk through the portal. "Even your fucking cat is better equipped to deal with shit like this."

"To be fair, he is an alien cat." I chuckled.

"I'm a human, and you don't see complaining." Bucky said, with just the hint of a smile.

"Same here." I nodded.

"Hell nah, you are a fucking super cyborg." Fury pointed at Bucky, then he turned to me. "And you, I don't even fucking know what you are, a magical mutant that pulls powers from his ass when the time calls for me, or something."

"But we're still human." Bucky grinned.

"I hate you both." Fury sighed, rubbing his temples.

"We love you too buddy." I chuckled.

"That we sound like a lot of people." Bucky said with a snort.

"So, you think she will win?" Fury said, pointing at Carol, who was now currently beating the ever living shit of Yon-Rogg. "Forget I asked. I almost pity the bitch, but my pity lake is pretty much empty, so…"

"Are we missing anyone?" Talos asked, being the last Skrull still in the ship.

Checking my minimap, I confirmed he was the last one and pushed him Spartan style. "So… ready to go back to earth?"

"Yes." Fury nodded. "By the way, since when do you have an armor suit?"

"Since a few months ago." I replied.

"Looks sturdy." Fury tapped the armor, narrowing his eyes at me. "Too sturdy…" his eyes narrowed even more. "On a scale of one to ten, how illegal is this?"

"Zero." I replied with a smile.

"A twelve it is then." Fury sighed. "You are a pain in my ass!" With that said, Fury walked through the portal, followed by Bucky and then me.

————————————————————————————-

[Two hours later]

Two hours after leaving Captain Marvel on the Kree ship, she arrived at earth with two things at hand, one a ship and two a cocky smile.

"The Kree won't bother anyone anymore." Carol stated, hovering above the ground.

As for us. Well, as soon as we got back to earth I started a barbecue, inviting the Skrull, Maria, Fury, Erik, Bucky and the Ancient One.

"Dad, who's the shining lady?" Emily pointed at Carol as I flipped a burger.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"You know I can hear you, right?" Carol said.

"Oh Carol, sorry. I didn't see you there." I waved at her with a smile.

"So, while I fought to the death… against an army. You guys started a barbecue." Carol asked, her eyebrow raising as she looked around.

"That would be an accurate assessment." The Ancient One nodded.

"I could've died." Unlikely.

"He was ready for that outcome." Erik grinned, levitating the black flags I had under my truck.

"Who are you two anyway?" Carol asked with a chuckle.

"I'm Erik, a friend of Alex." Erik replied, going back to his station. The beer tossing station.

"I'm the Ancient One." The Ancient One replied.

"And that is supposed to answer my question." Carol pressed.

"Not really, but it is all I am willing to share." The Ancient One smiled ever so lightly.

"Fine by me, anyway. This is for you." Carol sighed, tossing the ship in front of my grill.

"You almost ruined my burgers." Nothing gets between a man and his meat.

"Sorry, but I thought you would want the ship, as Fury said you were interested in space and such. So here you are." So that's how I got my ship reward, odd but I'll take it. "Now, for the other matter at hand, I need the core." I knew this time would come, just not this sooner.

"Yeah, no." I replied, flipping my burgers.

"I wasn't asking." Oh shit, here we go again.

I eyed Captain Marvel as I sighed, turning my grill off. "I won't give you anything." I said, getting ready for the worse.

"And I said, I wasn't asking. You have no idea the power that thing has, it needs to be in the right hands." Carol said, her tone bordering the lines of a threat.

"I'll put it in terms you understand." I smiled. "Not even in death, I will give you the core as you call it."

Captain Marvel looked at me, giving me a long scrutinizing look as she did so. "I can make you." she grinned.

"Go ahead." I challenged her. "You are stronger than me, at least now you are. So go ahead, beat me up, I will put up a fight, but considering the power you now wield. I will lose, but no matter how much you punch me, the core stays with me."

"Sorry, Fury here." Fury said, getting our attention. "The fuck is the core?"

"An item of unimaginable cosmic power." Carol replied. "In the wrong hands, could bring the end of the world."

"Which is why, I am keeping it." I added.

"I said you are not." Carol said, glaring at me.

"What's that? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over how much I don't give a fuck about your opinion." I replied.

"You really want to fight me?" Carol looked at me, with a smug smile on her face.

"If I have to, I will." I shrugged.

"You already know what will happen if we do." Carol said, her fists glowing, but before she could take another step, Erik shut her up by throwing my truck at her, blasting her into the ground.

"I was getting tired of the conversation." Erik said, looking at me. "How strong is she?"

"Stronger than Vuk, weaker than Jean." I replied, equipping my armor.

"Great." Erik sighed, turning to look at where Captain Marvel was with a worried look.

"That was cute." Carol chuckled, blasting the truck off her, then cracking her neck, she levitated towards us. "One last chance, give me the core."

Why was she so obsessed with the core, in the canon timeline she let Fury keep it. "No."

I had barely finished my sentence when Captain Marvel instantly charged at me, with blinding speed. However I predicted her attack, which allowed me to block her first blow with my right arm. But even with that, the sheer force behind the attack sent me flying across the field like a ragdoll, only to be stopped by magneto using his magnetism on me. Had I not been using my armor, that attack would've hurt a lot.

"You can't protect the core. I can." Carol said, floating above me.

"You sure have a funny way of showing that." Fury said, getting her attention. "Perhaps you are right, perhaps you can protect whatever my friend here took." At this he pointed at me. "But if you keep doing this, we will fight you, and we will stop you."

"What he said." Erik nodded, glaring at her. "I don't know you, ergo, I don't trust you. But I trust him. So whatever he took, in my eyes, is safer on his hands."

"I understand he's your friend bu--" before she could finish that sentence, the Ancient One appeared behind her, tapping Captain Marvel in the back and in the process taking out her spiritual form.

"Normally, I don't like to interfere in such affairs. But I suppose Mr. Walker has been a bad influence on me." The Ancient One chuckled, as she turned to look at Captain Marvel's spirit floating around her body. "Now, I understand your concern, I really do." she paused, probably thinking about the time stone. "But, believe me when I tell you, he is destined to hold, that what you wish to take from him."

"Is… she okay?" Erik muttered, for in his eyes, the Ancient One was talking to an unconscious Carol.

"She is talking with her spirit." I replied.

"That… answers nothing." Erik sighed.

"Shouldn't we take this chance to kill her?" Bucky asked.

"No. We might need her in the future." I replied.

"Dad! I brought you Goose!" Emily, who had disappeared before the battle even began, ran towards me, Goose in her arms. "He can eat her." look at Emily, planning for the team.

~~Fine…~~ Carol's spirit sighed.

"Good, now please behave." The Ancient One smiled, putting Carol back on her body.

"I suppose the core doesn't need my protection, not when you have all these friends." Carol said.

"I pity the man that ends with you." Erik said, glaring at her. "Or the woman, I don't judge. I just pity them."

"So… Can I get a burger?" Carol asked.

Before I could reply, Fury took a step forward. "Sure, just let me untie Maria."

"Why did you tie her?" I asked him.

"She was about to help her. So I tied her up." Fury replied.

"Hmm." I chuckled.

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

After that short lived battle with Captain Marvel, we had the most awkward barbecue ever. After said uncomfortable Barbecue was over, Carol gave Fury and me a beeper, to call her in case of an emergency.

"Well, I am off." Carol said, giving me a look. "Take care."

I looked at her, and smiled, if only because I was polite. "Same."

"I can feel the love." Carol chuckled.

"I hope next time we see each other, you won't be trying to kick Alex's ass." Fury said, as he came to say his goodbyes to Carol.

"Who knows, I kinda enjoy fighting him." Carol grinned.

"Ok, I am not emotionally invested in this, so I am off to do literally anything else." I said, opening a portal to Italy, where Bucky, Erik and Emily waited for me, for it was pizza day.

"It's pizza day?" Fury asked, and I nodded.

"Hm." Fury smiled, turning to Carol. "Take care, bye~" and with that he walked through the portal.

"Until next time." Carol said.

"Let's hope it's not too soon." I chuckled, for if she was ever needed here, it would be for the likes of Thanos, or other big threats.
