It was meant to be a very, very simple training mission, with opponents they should have been able to beat very easily. However the one she was partnered with kicked her feet out from under her and left her in panic when two of the beasts attacked them. They looked like giant spiders.

Vers scream tore through the woods as the beasts bit her. Her flesh - softer than that of the others - yielded easily, giving way to what they sought: liquid full of nourishing minerals, while pumping her full of their venom, to keep her heart beating. 

Carol loved her new role in this world: A warrior for justice and freedom and peace. She helped refugees, stopped wars and occasionally saved kittens - no really she did. Fine it was a giant Spacekitten, but it got stuck on an asteroid and couldn’t find its mom, so she saved a kitten! Nick Fury would be proud.

It was on one of the planets she was guest at, that she heard of former Kree warriors serving as slaves to them. They told her stories about how it was disgraced soldiers, sold by the Kree empire themselves. Fear gripped her heart then. Did she sentence Yon Rogg to that fate?

She left rather soon after that, back to her ship to access the records of Xandar and soon enough she found out the truth: She did. It was exactly what she did: She had sentenced her former mentor to years of being a slave. According to the records he was used on plantations initially, then to fix ships on a planet that thrived only on using slaves and barely keeping them alive.

Carol took a look at her funds and then decided to make her way there. She had a slave to buy. Turned out his owner was all too happy to get money for him. He had no relation to him and never caught on that she did. That might have raised the price. She just pretended she needed someone to fix her ship.

When she was trapped in the supreme intelligence there was a moment when the AI hesitated, clearly distracted by what happened outside. It/she/whatever whispered ‘traitor’ before turning back to Carol.

When she broke free and battled her former team, she caught glimpses of Yon-Rogg, fighting against their team as well. The traitor seemed to refer to him. At one point she called to him to go down and help the Skrulls and her friends down.

Once the Accusors were gone, she landed in Marias front yard, finding him surrounded by Skrull weapons and two guns. They evidently did not trust him. She couldn’t exactly blame them.

It was the first day out of training. Most of the new agents were assigned their new places, their new teams at that time. She was the only female newbie that day as they all sat around the table, ready to be assigned mentors, with whom they would go on their first missions until they were deemed fit enough to go out on their own, naturally with the help of someone ‘downstairs’.

“Mostly to harass you.” Bluntly stated and straight to the point, she shrugged her shoulders. “Also to let you know that you apparently have a meeting with one of the Agents in about 20 minutes. Don’t ask me which one, I have no idea.” Pulling her tablet out of her bag, she held it up towards him with a blinking message on it. “Not sure when I got turned into messenger girl but there you go. I told you. If you decide not to go, well, that’s your prerogative.”
