Captain Marvel

Carol lay quietly on a platform, and some blue liquid shaped like mercury diffused from the platform and slowly entered her body and some glowing wires connected to her temples.

These blue liquids is blood of Yon Rogg which has healing properties. The wires are the tentacles of the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree, through which the Supreme Intelligence conducts in-depth detection or communication of things.

A few Kree huddled around Carol, and Yon-Rogg was among them.

"Mar-Vell is dead? The power core is missing?" a Kree asked.

Yon-Rogg nodded. "Yes."

"The lightspeed engine was also destroyed?"

"Yes..."

"It was a failed operation, Yon-Rogg! You got nothing at all!" someone complained.

Yon-Rogg quickly defended, "But I brought back this woman. She has energy similar to the lightspeed engine in her body, it should be when the engine exploded—"

A Kree interrupted him. "What's the use? Do you expect to drive her into battle?"

"Hahaha!"

"Be quiet and stop talking nonsense. Let's see how the Supreme Intelligence decides later."

The crowd of Kree fell silent, most of them staring at Carol in a coma. The Supreme Intelligence was carrying out in-depth and detailed detection of this Earthwoman, and they should know the results soon.

After a while, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look!"

Everyone looked intently and found that Carol on the platform had a dazzling light on her body, as if the stars were shining, and the whole room was splendidly reflected.

A group of Kree could clearly feel the strong surging energy; this dazzling light shone on them, almost bringing a kind of physical touch.

They couldn't help but feel a little terrified. Fortunately, this process did not last long, and the light on Carol dissipated in an instant, calming down.

The light dissipated, and she still lay motionless on the platform, as if she were asleep.

"What happened?" The Kree looked at each other.

At this time, a hollow voice sounded: "There is a powerful energy in Carol Danvers."

"Supreme Intelligence," a group of Kree said respectfully. This hollow voice was the Supreme Intelligence, the highest decision maker of the Kree Empire.

Supreme Intelligence continued, "This energy is very similar to the residual energy on the wreckage of the fighter plane, but it is not the same. It should be a supernatural force induced by it."

Yon-Rogg asked, "Supreme Intelligence, is it possible for us to restore the lightspeed engine through her?"

"Hope is slim," Supreme Intelligence said, "but aside from the lightspeed engine, the power in Carol Danvers is already very powerful. If we can use it, the significance may be no less than the lightspeed engine."

"No less than the lightspeed engine!" Everyone was quite shocked.

"Yes," the voice of Supreme Intelligence did not fluctuate. "The power in her body is rapidly increasing, like a newborn baby."

"I have just given guidance to make this power grow more smoothly. Not surprisingly, the power she finally masters will be comparable to gods like the Aesir Sun God and become a powerful weapon for the Kree Empire."

Then the Supreme Intelligence changed the conversation. "Yon-Rogg, I modified some of her memories. From now on, she is called Vers, and she is your subordinate. You are to guide her to become a loyal Kree warrior, understand?"

Yon-Rogg was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Yes, Supreme Intelligence."

The Supreme Intelligence finally added, "This power is too powerful. I wanted to suppress it first, and then release it when Vers has completely become a warrior loyal to Kree. But now the war situation is getting worse. I can only let it grow, Vers as our warrior against Asgard."

"Hopefully it doesn't get out of hand..."

...

A few months later.

Under the leadership of Asgard, the rebels attacked the city and broke the fortress.

The same was true for the Kree. External aggression inevitably led to internal strife. Frequent defeats had also made the alliance between the Kree and Thanos fragile, with many internal conflicts.

Thanks to Thanos' Ebony Maw, who was not only an outstanding magician but also a strategist.

However, just when the situation was good, a sudden change occurred, and news of defeat began to reach Forseti's ears. More than once, troops from multiple planets suffered fiascos.

"Failed again?" Forseti frowned as he looked at the latest battle report.

"Yes," the soldier who presented the battle report did not dare to look up.

Forseti was silent for a while, then waved his hand. "You may go."

After the soldier left, Forseti contacted Heimdallr. "Heimdallr, have you found the cause of our recent consecutive defeats?"

It is normal for people to stumble, horses to stumble, and occasionally a setback or two is expected. However, the resistance army had suffered dozens of defeats recently, all very quickly, and had been decimated, which was obviously strange.

Could it be that Thanos has found some powerful reinforcements?

"I found it," Heimdallr replied. "According to my inquiries, a warrior named Vers has recently appeared in the Kree Empire. She is very powerful and can fly at an unbelievable speed, traveling between planets."

"The reason why our troops have suffered consecutive defeats recently is because of her appearance."

"Vers..." Forseti frowned and repeated the name.

He had no impression of such a powerful character. In his memory, there was no news about "Vers" at all.

"Any more specific information?" he asked.

"Not yet," Heimdallr said, "but I know what Vers's next target is. I can send you there."

Forseti thought for a moment. "Okay, send me there immediately."

After a while, he took the Bifrost to his destination, a planet named "Tofa." This was a desolate planet with few inhabitants but quite important militarily, often garrisoned by troops.

"Sun God!" The defenders here were surprised by Forseti's arrival and hurried forward to greet him.

Forseti said, "You may rest now."

The leader of the garrison was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

"You don't need to participate in this battle," Forseti didn't say much, turning his hand to take out the Sulfuron Warhammer and waiting in place.

Shortly after the defenders withdrew, a spot of light appeared in the sky. This spot of light zoomed in sharply in the field of vision, clearly approaching the planet rapidly.

Coming.

Forseti looked up, and then he was stunned for a moment, showing a bit of surprise.

In the sky, a short-haired woman wearing a tight battle uniform was breaking through the atmosphere at an astonishing speed, exuding a dazzling light all over her body, as bright and dazzling as a supernova.

Captain Marvel—Carol Danvers!

Looking at this bright figure, Forseti guessed her identity almost immediately.

It turned out to be Captain Marvel. Forseti was relieved but then readied himself for battle, not daring to be careless.

Carol's life had clearly deviated from the timeline in the movie. In the movie, Captain Marvel's strength as a Kree warrior was not particularly outstanding, estimated to be on par with Captain America. It wasn't until she recovered her memory on Earth that Carol fully awakened, becoming a top fighting force in the Avengers camp, capable of rivaling Thor, the God of Thunder, at his peak.

But the Carol standing before Forseti had clearly awakened early, reaching or at least approaching her peak strength.

In the vision of Forseti's Eye of Reckoning, he could see eight layers of energy ripples gathered on Carol's body surface. This meant he must go all out to defeat her.

Carol hovered in the air, exuding bright light. She looked at Forseti and said calmly, "I didn't expect you to be stationed on Tofa Star in person, Sun God."

Though a woman with delicate facial features, her short and capable hair made the adjective "beautiful" unsuitable for her. "Handsome" seemed more appropriate.

Looking at the radiant and handsome Carol in the sky, Forseti suddenly felt he had lost his identity as the Sun God.

Damn!

He immediately activated the Wrath of Vengeance and Seraph, with the wings of holy light spreading out from behind, golden light shining brilliantly.

Carol was also ready to fight. "It is an honor to fight against you, but even if you are the sun god enshrined by Odin, you will fall to me."

"War is not a virtue, Carol," Forseti said lightly.

Since Carol had become the Kree warrior Firth, her memory had obviously been shielded or even tampered with by the Kree. Forseti believed that some real information might help Carol break free.

"Who?"

Sure enough, out of instinct, Carol couldn't ignore the name she had used for many years. She frowned and questioned him.

"Carol Danvers, think about the name and everything about it," Forseti added.

Carol's eyes showed a trace of confusion. "Carol..."

But at that moment, the voice of Yon-Rogg came through her communication device: "What are you hesitating for, vers? Qualified warriors charge without hesitation. Believe in yourself; your power is no less than that of the Sun God. Kill the god, for the Kree Empire!"

"Yes." Carol temporarily dismissed her distracting thoughts, and her fighting spirit re-emerged.

She burst into light and shot out like a meteorite straight at Forseti!

Forseti was considering how to subdue Captain Marvel without hesitation when he was caught off guard.

"Boom--!!"

With a loud bang, Carol, transformed into a bright rainbow, slammed Forseti into the ground, causing the surrounding earth to shake violently, as if experiencing an underground nuclear explosion.

This ferocious blow made Forseti deeply understand Carol's strength. He knew he could not hold back and must go all out.

Carol's impact was not over yet; she continued to pierce the rocks against the planet Tofa's crust, seemingly heading for its core.

At that moment, Forseti's Sulfuron Warhammer shone brightly, turning into flames and merging into his arm. His whole body was bathed in raging flames, and the right hand combined with the Sulfuron Warhammer was like Uru metal in a furnace, causing the surrounding crust to quickly melt into magma.

Forseti's burning Sulfuron hand grabbed Carol's arm.

Carol's expression changed, and she tried to break free, but the power of the Sulfuron hand was far beyond her imagination, preventing her from escaping. The extremely high temperature created by the divine power of the flame and the Sulfuron flame made her experience a rare burning pain.

Kree technology's carefully crafted suits were naturally equally fragile against such scorching temperatures. Almost as soon as Forseti grabbed Carol's arm, the flames burned away the suit on her arm.

Forseti reversed the offensive, dragging Carol into the crust, smashing left and right, just like what Hulk did to Loki, except the scene was replaced by the crust and lava.

"Boom boom-"

The violent impact on the ground, along with the continuous melting of magma and surging rocks, caused the surface to vibrate repeatedly, like a dense earthquake.

After about a minute of this, Carol was bleeding from the corners of her mouth and panting.

"Boom!"

Before releasing the Sulfuron Warhammer from his arm, Forseti punched her out of the earth's crust with a heavy blow, and the turbulent magma burst from the penetrated ground.

He followed her above the ground, then released the Sulfuron Warhammer from his hand.

Carol stood up from the ground, panting and wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, then looked at the arm Forseti had just held.

Due to the enormous force and high temperature burning, her arm was seriously injured, dripping with blood and shaking violently, almost unable to lift.

This made her heart very heavy. If Forseti launched the same violent attack as before, she would definitely lose.

However, Carol's worries were unnecessary. Forseti could only maintain the intensity of the output just now for about a minute.

He had to release the Sulfuron Warhammer from his arm and couldn't fuse it again for a short time; otherwise, he might lose both the warhammer and his arm.

Forseti slowly walked towards Carol. "I think you should have realized a little why I called you Carol... Can you really remember nothing?"

Carol's eyes showed confusion again.

"You're not a Kree; you're from Earth," Forseti saw her reaction and continued, "Carol Danvers is your true identity. Think back to your lost memories, who caused your crash?"

"Crash..." Carol frowned, lost in her memories.

Just when Forseti thought that Carol was about to remember, Yon-Rogg's voice entered Carol's ears again: "Firth, return to Hala immediately."

"But—" Carol wanted to say something.

Yon-Rogg interrupted her: "This is the order of the Supreme Intelligence, return to Hala immediately!"

Carol showed struggle in her eyes and took a few steps back, as if to leave.

Seeing this, Forseti hurried forward and said, "Carol, you don't need to follow the will of the Kree, they are your enemies."

But Carol finally chose to obey the order of Supreme Intelligence and saw her whole body shine brightly. Then she flew into the sky.

Forseti chased after her, and the two turned into rainbow lights, flying into the sky one after the other.

However, Carol's flight speed could exceed the speed of light. At first, the speed of the two people was similar, but after only ten seconds, Carol disappeared without a trace in the sky...

A few hours later.

Carol returned to Planet Hala, and Yon-Rogg looked at her, silent for a moment, then said, "You did well, vers."

Carol raised her head and asked blankly, "Colonel, where did I come from?"

Yon-Rogg's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "You are a citizen of the Kree Empire and come from the same place as me, what's the question?"

It is not unreasonable for the Supreme Intelligence to appoint him as Carol's prefect. From the outside, the two do seem to belong to the same race, although human looks are not uncommon in the universe.

"But my memory is blank." Carol covered her head.

Yon-Rogg said calmly: "I have already explained this issue. You were injured in a mission and lost part of your memory. This is normal for a brave warrior, isn't it."

"Do you doubt your true identity? It makes no sense. You can easily find out your past, your name, your place of birth, the schools you attended, your test scores, and our university. The group photo of when...are these all fake?"

Carol was silent for a long time.

Yon-Rogg looked at her, then stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "It seems that you need to rest, come with me, the Supreme Intelligence is about to summon you."

Carol nodded and followed.

After a while...

Carol closed her eyes and lay quietly on the platform, while Yon-Rogg watched and said, "Supreme Intelligence, how is vers now?"

The voice of Supreme Intelligence sounded out of nowhere: "Her memory barrier is loose, and I have just repaired it."

Yon-Rogg: "So there's no problem?"

"No, people's memory is very complicated." Supreme Intelligence said, "Now it seems that we should not let vers participate in the battle frequently, her spirit is not stable enough."

...

After a period of time, Carol no longer appeared on the battlefield frequently, but every time she appeared, it would bring huge trouble to the coalition forces and seriously disrupt their rhythm.

After Carol appeared less frequently, it was naturally more difficult for Forseti to encounter her. In the only few encounters, he also failed to wake Carol.

This made him quite depressed. Seeing that Thanos was near, he didn't expect Captain Marvel to jump in and disrupt the situation again.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to go to Earth. He knew too little about Carol's experience, and to successfully awaken her, the help of the earthlings was essential.

New York.

In a conference room, dozens of members of the Strategic Science Corps were discussing some important issues, chaired by Peggy Carter.

Carter is in her seventies, with silver hair and many wrinkles on her skin, but she still looks energetic, which is probably why she is still active at work.

"...The last topic of the meeting is about the new name of the Strategic Science Corps." Peggy Carter flipped through the document in her hand, "There are currently three alternative names, namely the Strategic Science Security Agency, the Special Security Defense Agency, and the Strategic Dangerous Intervention Intelligence Agency. If you have other suggestions, you can also put them forward."

"What kind of names are they, ..." A muttered voice sounded faintly in the corner.

Carter apparently heard the muttering and looked straight at him: "Fury, tell me what you think."

Nick Fury hesitated for a while, then he said, "Uh, I think we can refer to the CIA and the National Security Agency and come up with a simpler name."

"For example?"

"Like... like the Defense Bureau?" Fury said.

"This is too ugly!" Someone immediately objected, "It doesn't fit our identity at all!"

"What do you think about S.H.I.E.L.D.?" someone suddenly said.

The name immediately hit the hearts of many people, with even a few saying, "I think it's good."

"S.H.I.E.L.D., let's call it that, Carter?" people said.

But Peggy Carter said: "As a government agency name, it doesn't seem very standard."

Others agreed: "Indeed, S.H.I.E.L.D., that sounds like a name in a movie."

Nick Fury then said: "Why don't we make the short name S.H.I.E.L.D., and then give it a proper full name?"

"What name can be shortened to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Someone put forward: "Isn't it the Strategic Hazardous Intervention Intelligence Agency, the first letter of each word can be connected to form SHIELD."

"Have you never been to school? Look carefully at the initials of these words."

"Well... well, it seems like there's an L missing, but we'll just add a word that starts with an L."

"You can add a 'logistics', which is called 'Strategic Hazard Intervention Intelligence Logistics Agency', and the acronym just happens to be 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'"

"But what do we have to do with logistics..."

"Don't care about these details, the important thing is to call it S.H.I.E.L.D., understand?"

Soon, everyone almost unanimously approved the new name that sounds a bit lame, only because the first letter of each word can be connected to SHIELD.

"Then we will be S.H.I.E.L.D.," Carter said finally. "The meeting is over. Fury, come with me."

"Yes." Nick Fury replied with some trepidation, and then followed all the way to Carter's office.

"Fury, you are a talented young man, but you also have your shortcomings..." Carter said while pushing the door.

However, as the office door opened, her voice stopped abruptly.

"Long time no see, Ms. Carter from the Strategic Science Corps." A blond young man with a height of nearly two meters appeared in this office at an unknown time and greeted her.

Peggy Carter was stunned for two seconds, then returned to normal, not at all wondering why Forseti could ignore the defense and appear in her office, and responded with a smile: "I think for you, it's not a 'long time no see'. In addition, it is necessary to explain that this is no longer the Strategic Science Corps, but S.H.I.E.L.D."
