Monster and Marvel – Part 1
Carol finds herself on the ground after being taken from her Minicarrier by the alien called Cru. She transforms into her Ms. Marvel costume as she wonders how Cru survived their last encounter.
 Cru fires a laser blast at Ms. Marvel but she manages to dodge it. As they fight, Carol’s cell phone rings. The message is from William Wagner who has finally called Carol back. He admits to dodging her calls and tells her that it’s a long story. He tells Carol about his meeting with Sarah Day and mentions the “Daily Bugle” thing. Carol doesn’t know exactly what he’s referring to. He ends the message by saying that he doesn’t want to do this on the phone so he’ll call back.
As she listens to the message, Carol punches Cru and then hits it with a blast of energy. As she pummels it with a blazing sofa, the phone rings again. She thinks it must be William but it’s actually Wonder Man.
 He acknowledges that she asked him for some space but tells her that he misses her. He asks her to give him a call and also notes that they have some “Daily Bugle stuff” to talk about. Carol still doesn’t know what the Daily Bugle has to do with all this. She dodges yet another blast from Cru but is caught by one of its tentacles. Cru pulls Ms. Marvel close and “speaks” to her, “You have something of mine.” Carol is surprised to realize that Cru speaks telepathically… with a woman’s voice!
Agent Sum emerges from the Minicarrier and races towards Carol. Carol herself cannot move and can only hear her phone ringing once again. This time the call is from her publicist, Sarah Day who gripes that she can never reach Carol when she needs to.
 She leaves a message regarding J. Jonah Jameson’s recent headlines targeting her. She let’s Carol know that they are headed into “one hell of a storm” and they need to meet to prepare for it. She asks Carol to call her as soon as possible. Agent Sum charges Cru who forms a gun from her arm and fires on him. The blast hits him in the face and vaporizes him from the waist up! Machine Man arrives just in time to see Agent Sum fall. He tells Cru that it’s “Time to die.”
 Cru fires at Aaron who deftly dodges it. He then manifests a gun from his own arm and shoots Cru, telling her that while she is impressive he is more impressive. Cru recovers quickly and forms a blade with one of her arms. She uses it to cut Aaron in half! Cru then gathers up Carol and flies away.
Agent Sum miraculously re-grows the upper half of his body! Machine Man asks how it’s possible he is still alive and Sum does not answer. Instead, he asks Machine Man if he is okay. Machine Man reminds him that his name is Aaron and comments that he has suffered worse indignities than this. He tells Sum that there is clearly something that he has not shared with them about himself.
Sum changes the subject quickly and tells Aaron that Cru has taken Ms. Marvel. He lifts Aaron’s torso and heads to the ship to assess the damage. Aaron tells him to get his head onto a new body so he can help. Sum tells him that they don’t have any spare robot bodies and Aaron suggests they use the LMD that he was given as a “signing bonus” as an incentive to join Operation: Lightning Storm. Sum races down the corridor with Aaron’s severed torso.
Carol is floating unconscious in orbit around an alien planet surrounded by strange vessels. She begins to plummet towards the surface as a voice makes contact, identifies her and orders her to wake. She rouses and tries to figure out where she is. She realizes she is falling and tries to change into her costume only to find that she can’t! She also cannot fly.
 The voice tells her that she is being shown what happened and that this is for Carol Danvers not Ms. Marvel. Carol tells the voice that she is Ms. Marvel and that it’s simply a costume. The voice asks how she leads the life she does and believes that to be true. Carol lands unceremoniously in an alien river. She comes up coughing up water and mud.
The voice urges her to relax. Carol makes her way to the banks of the river where he is greeted by a blue female alien with silvery dreadlocks and tentacles forming her lower body from the waist down. The alien woman welcomes her to her world in broken English. She introduces herself as Cru! Carol is shocked to find that this is the same being that attacked her. Cru tries to explain that there has been some miscommunication. Carol raises her arms and tries to fire a blast of energy at Cru with no effect at all.
She asks Cru what she has done to her powers. In her limited language, Cru replies that several things have been “taken offline” while their bodies are being repaired. She shares with Carol that their “constructs” were intertwined in more ways than she anticipated and that removing them is impossible without damage to both of them. She assures Carol that she will be stronger than before when this process is complete but questions if this is a good thing given her questionable decisions in recent weeks.
 Carol complains that listening to Cru is making her head hurt but Cru persists. Cur explains that her speech patterns are off because of Carol’s own knowledge of various languages. She makes further analyzes the available information in Carol’s mind and adjusts her linguistic output accordingly. Carol realizes that Cru is in her head and Carol is incensed by this. She tells Cru that she tried to kill her in their initial encounter and nearly destroyed the planet! Cru tries to explain that she made some mistakes but Carol simply demands that she get out of her head. Cru tries to explain the danger of breaking their link but Carol insists.
She wakes up in a jungle and wonders how she got there from New York.  Her wounds from her most recent tussle with Cru have healed. Cru is lying next to her in her more alien form. In the distance, Carol hears a roar and tries to transform into her Ms. Marvel costume. There is no effect and she realizes that she doesn’t have access to her powers. She hears heavy footsteps heading her way. At that moment, the trees above her part to reveal an enormous, rocky monster! She immediately realizes where she is: Monster Island! However, she has no clue how she came to be there.
On the Minicarrier, Araña is looking for Carol’s cat Chewie in the wake of Cru’s assault on the Minicarrier. She has no luck finding Chewie and is dismayed that both Carol and her cat are missing. She makes her way to the bridge where Agent Sum is assisting Machine Man in connecting with his new body. She is shocked to see Aaron’s head attached to the body of a female LMD that’s wearing Monica Rambeau’s original Captain Marvel costume!
 Anya is shocked by his appearance and asks if it’s a joke. He tells her that it is not and that someday, when she is a woman he will have valuable female wisdom to impart. Anya is confused by all this and Agent Sum tells her that it is a long story. Sum looks at a view screen where a SHIELD agent informs him that Director Stark is unavailable. Sum confirms that he provided the Avengers emergency codes and the female agent reiterates that Tony Stark is unavailable. Sum gets angry and repeats that they have been attacked by an alien life form and that Ms. Marvel is missing and they need Iron Man’s help.
From behind Sum, a voice says “I can help”. It’s Wonder Man! He tells them he came as soon as he heard about the attack. Araña gives him a big hug and he asks where Carol is. Anya tells him that they don’t know. Agent Sum asks if any other Avengers will be responding and Simon explains that something is going on at the moment and all the Avengers’ emergency codes have been changed. He adds that if Agent Sum used an older code it may have made SHIELD a bit edgy. Sum asks why and Wonder Man avoids answering and tells him that it’s top secret. Sum is none too happy to hear this. Simon reminds him that finding Carol is their priority right now.
Carol is fighting for her life on Monster Island against a big, red monster with four arms and very, very sharp claws. She is managing to hold her own using only her fighting skills since her powers are still not working. She thinks to herself that she never thought she’d die like this. She gets a good kick in and makes a run for it. The creature pursues and as she looks back, she doesn’t realize that she’s about to run down a steep hill. She loses her balance and tumbles down it, crying out “Ow! Ow! Ow!” as she goes. The monster lunges at her and she uses her feet and its momentum to propel it into a nearby tree where it is impaled on a sharp branch.
 No sooner has she defeated this thing than another monster lumbers out of the jungle. This one is large and grey and wearing some sort of armored costume. It groans “Zrreeeeg!” as it moves to attack. Just as he moves forward, Cru arrives and calls out to Carol. She pushes Cru away and cru slices the approaching monster in half with a bladed tentacle. Cru tells Carol that if she separates the parts of them that are intertwined they will both be stronger but if she does not, they will remain as they are: Carol powerless and Cru unable to alter her form. Cru reaches out to Carol and says that they can die together or join forces and survive. She leaves the decision to Carol who hesitates a moment before reaching out for Cru’s hand.
As they touch, there is a spark of light. Carol finds herself inside Cru’s mind. They are in a memory of Cru’s homeworld as it looked before the brood attacked. Cru tells Carol that it is good that she realizes their link is mutual and that this will help facilitate the repairs to their bodies. Carol comments that part of Cru was inside her.
Cru confirms that some of her repair and rebuild protocols were left with Carol after their first encounter. Carol notes how technological the word “protocol” sounds and asks if most of Cru is organic. Cru explains that to her people there is no real distinction between organic and technological as they are both. The sky lights up with a meteor shower and Carol tells Cru that it’s beautiful. Cru tells her that this is the end of her world… the coming of the Brood.
She explains that this is the same fate that awaits Earth and that she came there to try and prevent it. Carol says that she nearly destroyed the planet to stop those few Brood. Cru clarifies that there was a second pod that night and that she had to choose which to pursue. She chose the wrong one and took more drastic measures when she realized her mistake.
 Carol makes the connection and figures out that the second pod is here with them on Monster Island. Cru tells her that it was not just any pod but that it carried a brood Queen who is determined to spread the Brood across the cosmos once more. Cru had planned to have their bodies repaired before she found them but that Carol’s initial resistance has cost them precious time. Cru hopes that she has time to do what needs to be done to their bodies before the Brood finds them. As she says this to Carol, their bodies sit unprotected in a trance-like state. Their arms are joined at the forearms as their bodies work to separate fully from each other. Unbeknownst to them, they are not alone or safe. They are surrounded by a swarm of Brood!

Monster and Marvel – Part 2
Carol Danvers sits on the ground on Monster Island her body merging with that of the alien Cru in an effort to sever the connection between them. Though unconscious, Carol can sense her body on every level. Tendrils from Cru’s shape-shifting form have penetrated Carol’s arm as Cru seeks to remove pieces of herself that were left behind in Carol’s body during their first battle. During this exchange, both women are powerless.
Microscopic pieces of Cru that appear to be tiny dragons move through Carol’s veins in search of components of Cru’s repair systems that merged with Ms. Marvel. Carol is oddly fascinated by the complex process. Cru encourages her to relax but Carol hears the snap of a twig nearby and realizes they are not alone on Monster Island. She breaks from their shared mindscape to see that they are surrounded by Brood! They recognize Cru immediately as an enemy of their species but do not know who Carol is. Carol pulls her arm free from the connection with Cru and stands to fight.
The Brood assess the situation and determine that Cru is incapacitated and not a threat at the moment. They think that this may be a trap but in their experience, Cru has been a more direct and blunt threat.
Carol glares at the Brood and tells them that they usually aren’t the “type to talk a girl to death.” The Brood bares its fangs and notes that this human “is a feisty one”. Carol clenches her fists and tells the Brood to back off. The Brood are amused that a mere human would challenge them. The apparent leader orders the others to kill the human and bring Cru to their queen.
One of the Brood dives for Carol who quickly dives out of the way. She realizes that without her powers she’ll need to fight creatively and arms herself with a sharp branch. She lashes out at the nearest Brood and cuts its head open with the jagged edge of the stick.
This draws the attention of a Brood warrior armed with an energy weapon of some sort. It fires at Carol who leaps out of the way and kicks the Brood. She then stabs it with the branch and deftly grabs its energy weapon. She smiles and says “Much better” as she takes aim with the weapon. She kills two more Brood warriors with a laser blast.
Seeing the ferocity with which Carol fights, the leader of the Brood pack orders the others to retreat as they have what they came for.  Carol is momentarily stunned and then realizes that they were after Cru. She races to the spot where she left Cru and finds that her body is gone. She cries out for her and Cru responds… from inside Carol’s mind! Taking control of Carol’s voice, Cru tells her that they must go and find where the Brood have taken her body.
Meanwhile on the Minicarrier, Rick Sheridan is meeting with Doctor Farrell who has devised a means of artificially unleashing the Sleepwalker when needed. Rick is a bit hesitant to use a device that zaps his brain. Doc Farrell explains that the device uses transcranial magnetic stimulation to induce slower brainwave activity. The result is that it subdues Rick for at least three hours whenever Sleepwalked is needed. He suggests to Rick that the right temple is the best spot to place the device.
Rick gently presses it to his head and almost immediately slumps over into Doc Farrell’s arms. Sleepwalker emerges and commends the doctor for his efforts. Doctor Farrell reminds him that he only has three hours and that Rick should wait 24 hours before using the device again to avoid brain damage. Sleepwalker is surprised that the doctor did not tell this to Rick before using the device. Doc argues that it is perfectly safe and begins to say something about Rick. Sleepwalker interrupts and finishes the sentence by saying that Rick worries too much. Doc Farrell replies that this is a kind way of putting it. Sleepwalker seems content with this and assures the doctor that he will keep these limitations in mind.
Elsewhere, Araña tells Agent Sum that she intends to stay and help find Carol, despite her father’s feelings on the matter. Sum reprimands her for her lack of respect for her father. She says that he doesn’t understand what it means to be a part of the Initiative. Sum points out that she is merely a Junior Recruit and that she has missed the last week of school. Anya reminds him that she was kidnapped by the Puppet Master. Sum reminds her of the responsibilities she has now that she’s back home and Anya insists that finding Carol is the only responsibility she currently has. Agent Sum places his hand on his forehead in frustration and tells Anya that Commander Hill will have his head if he allows Anya to stay. Anya suggests that Sum claim he was following an alien quarantine protocol triggered by Cru’s attack on the Minicarrier, since who knows what space bugs they might have been exposed to. Sum suddenly brightens up and tells her she’s right, much to Araña’s dismay. He clarifies that she gave him an idea: track Cru and Carol by tracing the alien energy signature of Cru’s propulsion systems.
A short time later, the Lightning Squad team assembles in the ready room. Agent Sum reports that they have tracked Cru’s energy signature to Monster Island in the Bermuda Triangle. Machine Man says that he doesn’t want to go there as things can get weird. Sleepwalker agrees. Wonder Man reports that the Minicarrier should be able to get then there but they should take it slow. At that speed, they can be there the next morning. Agent Sum hopes that that will get them there fast enough.
Back at Monster Isle, Carol tracks the Brood who have captured Cru and finds that they are part of an entire colony. They have captured a handful of Moloids who they have implanted with Brood eggs.  When Carol sees the Moloids being transformed into Brood, Cru’s consciousness asserts itself and demands that they be destroyed immediately. As Cru takes control, Carol’s eyes glow and her skin begins to turn blue. Carol resists and tells Cru that she understands why she’s along for the ride but hates it.
Cru asserts herself more forcefully and tells Carol that she “stole what was mine” and she’ll hear no complaints now that she is taking over Carol’s form. As Cru declares this, Carol’s appearance shifts even more to match Cru’s humanoid form. Carol tries to resist, reminding Cru that she doesn’t have her powers at the moment. Cru tells Carol that she is more than her powers and the “pitiful woman” she pretends to be. She tells Carol that she is a warrior whose DNA has been touched by the Kree. Cru thinks that Carol could rule Earth if she spent less time trying to make people like her and over-thinking her actions. She points out that Carol has innate skills and abilities that lie dormant because she is frightened by them. Instead she flies about being “pretty and loved” by others. Carol again tries to break Cru’s hold over her but finds herself locked in her own mind while Cru commandeers her body.
Inside her mind, Carol finds herself reliving Cru’s memories of the Brood attack on her home world.  Carol is even more surprised when she is confronted by her Ms. Marvel persona who asks where they are. Both look at each other and say “This makes no sense at all.” Carol begins screaming at Cru to stop doing this right now. “Ms. Marvel” tells her that Cru is ignoring her but Carol continues to call out. “Ms. Marvel” turns and begins fighting the Brood. Carol asks what she’s doing and “Ms. Marvel” tells her that she’s stopping the Brood from killing more of Cru’s people. Carol tells her counterpart that she’s an idiot to do so as none of this is real. Carol then sees Cru’s mate Ost as he calls for her to come with him. Cru rushes to his side and Carol decides to follow them and see if there’s anything to be learned from Cru’s memories. Meanwhile, “Ms. Marvel” continues to fend off the Brood.
Carol finds herself in a very different part of Cru’s memories, some sort of subterranean cave. As she realizes the sudden shift in setting, she is stopped by yet another image of herself, this time wearing the militaristic uniform she wore during her time as Warbird.
“Warbird” tells her to get out of the open if she doesn’t want to be killed. She then pushes Carol along, telling her to get below and “hide from everything”. Carol congratulates Cru on making this experience even weirder as she descends into the cave. She hears a scream and turns to Cru strapped to a laboratory table being altered by scientists. She cries out “Stooonnnyyyaaa!” A voice from behind comments to Carol that the scene is familiar. This time it is “Binary” who points out that Cru volunteered to be augmented in her quest for vengeance against the Brood who murdered her husband and children. Carol, however, had no choice when she was tortured and genetically altered by the Brood. This genetic manipulation led to her transformation into Binary.
“Binary” explains that although Cru volunteered to undergo this process, the result was the same for her as it was for Carol: a beautiful woman is transformed into a monstrous killing machine. Carol says that she isn’t like that, even when she was Binary. Carol and “Binary” watch as Cru’s transformation is complete and she attacks the scientists responsible. “Binary” tells Carol that if she learns nothing else in life, she should know that she is exactly like that.
Meanwhile, Cru has fully taken over Carol’s body.  Her skin is now blue, her eyes glow red and her hair resembles Cru’s dreadlocks. Cru “accesses” Carol’s combat skills and marksmanship in preparing to confront the Brood. The Brood find her and attack. Cru swings the Brood blaster and smacks the first Brood. She then fires a blast at another who falls dead in front of its comrades. Cru presses her advantage and leaps onto another Brood and snaps its neck. She kicks a fourth Brood before she is entangled by the tentacles of another. This one holds her in place while another shoots her with a low intensity energy beam. Cru falls unconscious and the Brood collect her to take to their queen as commanded.
Carol wakes to find herself being dragged across the ground by two Brood warriors. Her head is throbbing and she can no longer hear Cru’s thoughts. She claws at the ground to try and stop herself but without her powers, she cannot wrest herself free. She is brought before a blazing light and is greeted by a sinister voice who calls her by her full name. She looks up to see the Brood Queen clutching Cru’s body in her tentacles. The Queen is delighted to have the two women she most wants dead in the universe her in her throne room. She declares her plan to transform Earth into the new Brood home world!  Carol is shocked because she thought she had killed the Brood Queen years earlier.

Monster and Marvel – Part 3
Carol recalls her earliest encounter with the Brood, shortly after losing her powers to the mutant Rogue. The Brood abducted her and experimented with her genetic structure. The result was her transformation into the cosmically empowered Binary. Carol felt that the Brood had robbed her of her humanity. When she got free, she unleashed her new power on the Brood outpost on planet Madrizar. She killed all the Brood on the planet and then confronted their queen. Her attack transformed the Brood Queen into crystal and resulted in the destruction of the planet. Carol believed that the Brood Queen died in the resulting devastation. Now, on Monster Island, she faces the Brood Queen once more but isn’t certain how the alien matriarch survived their first encounter.
The Brood Queen holds Cru in one of her tentacles but drops her as she edges closer to Carol. She tells Carol that she has thought of her for a long time. Carol is currently powerless due to Cru’s attempts to reclaim pieces of her repair protocols that merged with Carol during their first battle. Cru’s psyche is also currently inhabiting Carol’s mind but is surprisingly silent at the moment.
 The Brood Queen declares that she is excited to see Carol there. She recounts the offenses that Carol committed against her: taking away her means of traveling through space, killing her soldiers and destroying her world. She reveals to Carol that her actions also imbued her with invincibility! Carol realizes that thanks to the “pieces” of Cru that have merged with her body, she too is invincible. She tells the Brood Queen “I guess that makes two of us.”
The Brood Queen decides to put Carol’s espoused invincibility to the test and orders two of her soldiers to attack. As they draw near with their energy weapons, Carol silently hopes that Cru has not disabled the healing protocols that she inadvertently imbued Carol with.
 Carol acts quickly, kicking the Brood Queen in the face before disarming one of the Brood warriors. She grabs his blaster and fires on the Brood Queen who dodges the ray. She attacks Carol, slicing through the weapon and impaling Carol with her tentacle. She pulls her close and says tauntingly, “It appears the human definition of ‘invincible’ is different than my own.” Carol’s eyes roll back in her head and the Brood Queen tosses her lifeless body down next to Cru’s. She calls for her soldiers to behold her victory as her two greatest foes lie dead before her.
Meanwhile, the Lightning Storm crew arrives at Monster Island. Araña asks where her jetpack is and Sum ignores her. He asks Aaron if his new (and decidedly female) body is combat ready and Aaron tells him that his question is sexist and he plans on reporting him. He then checks on Wonder Man, still ignoring Anya.
 The team makes their way top to the ground, leaving Araña behind. She’s furious at being left on the Minicarrier and vows to punch the first person who says she’s safer there. Machine Man (Woman?) picks up the energy trail and they soon find several Brood corpses, which Wonder Man recognizes immediately. Aaron notes that the alien that attacked Ms. Marvel was not Brood. Sum concludes that if there’s a Brood nest here they are in way over their heads and suggests they call for back-up. Simon is shocked and points out what happened before when SHIELD refused to send help. Sum clarifies that he means that they will both call in for help, in the hopes that Wonder Man’s “in-the-know” status as an Avenger will get them the support they need. Simon makes it clear that he’s not leaving without Carol. Agent Sum points out that they aren’t even sure that she’s alive. But they do know they are in Brood territory and thus in imminent danger.
At that moment, Sum’s point is proven as the Brood Queen orders her minions to take to the air in defense of their newly established base of operations. Dozens swarm upward towards the Minicarrier. Araña looks on in horror as they take fire on the ship.
As Aaron takes to the air he complains that his new LMD body lacks weaponry. Wonder Man follows and begins punching his way through the Brood. He tells Aaron “Who needs weapons when you’ve got fists!?” Machine Man concedes that there is something to be said for getting one’s hands dirty as he rips the wings off a Brood. Sum lands on the deck of the Minicarrier and asks Sleepwalker to cover for him while he ventures inside. He enters through a side hatch and is met by Araña who asks what those things are. He tells her to come with him as he has a way for her to help. She grumbles that now that they’re being attacked by monsters he needs her help, but follows nonetheless. Outside, Aaron relishes the physicality of the fight. Sleepwalker takes a nasty hit from a Brood laser cannon.
Inside, Agent Sum leads Anya to a hatch. She’s hopeful that this will lead to a weapons turret and she’ll get to blast away the Brood like Han Solo. When she opens the hatch she’s shocked to see that it contains a nuclear device. Sum explains that this weapon was insurance in the event that the Minicarrier was ever stolen. Anya looks at Sum to confirm that he doesn’t plan to blow the ship up with them onboard. He looks grim and asks that she do as he says and not argue for once. He assures her that if all goes well they won’t need to use the device. But if they don’t go well, they can be thankful for a swift death that will take many of their foes with them.
Outside, the Brood Queen declares the ship theirs as her warriors overtake Sleepwalker and a handful board the Minicarrier. Wonder Man and Aaron make their way to his side and are quickly engaged by the Brood. Machine Man sees the crystalline Brood Queen and smiles when he says “Daddy wants to smash it.”
On the island below, Carol is bleeding to death. She curses at how clichéd her death is. She reaches out for Cru, hoping to die with her hands strangling the alien who has so complicated her life in recent weeks.
As she falls dead, one of Cru’s tentacles reaches out for her. Cru’s voice speaks to Carol’s mind, which symbolically floats in a fetal position through space. Cru tells Carol that she’s dead and asks if it’s what she expected. Cru notes that during the time they have spent sharing each other’s thoughts, she has come to admire and fear Carol. Cru says that she fears that Carol is a danger to the world around her and that she would let Carol die if she could. Cru warns that there is “an avoidable side effect of separating myself from you” and that while it may seem a gift at first, it is truly a curse. Cru again says that if it could be helped, she would not do what she is about to do. Carol asks what it is she is doing and Cru tells her to open her eyes and see. When she does so, her eyes are alive with powerful energy.
Machine Man is thrown from the ship and crashes to the ground below. He complains about a malfunction in his LMD body. He looks up and sees Carol who tells him “You look different.” As she takes to the sky, he replies “I look different!? What the hell happened to you?!” As Carol approaches the Minicarrier, one of the Brood approaches the Queen and warns her “My Queen! Danger!” His sentiment is echoed by Carol, “Yes, Queen. Danger. A great deal of danger, in fact.” The Brood Queen’s eyes grow wide as she beholds Carol fully energized in her Binary form!

Monster and Marvel – Part 4
Ms. Marvel has been super-charged by her merge with Cru, pushing her energy powers back up to the levels she possessed as Binary. She uses her newly enhanced powers to lash out at the contingent of Brood that are attacking her Minicarrier. She describes the heady rush of power as “mainlining the universe”. She thinks to herself that the power of Binary is even better than the superhuman healing factor she acquired from Cru in the past. Ms. Marvel plows through the Brood in no time.
 Aboard the Minicarrier, Agent Sum and Araña are prepping the ship’s nuclear self-destruct device to use against the Brood should all else fail. Just as the device is armed, they are confronted by the Brood Queen who comes crashing through the window. Agent Sum tells Anya to get behind him but there’s a pair of Brood blocking her way.
 Araña attacks the Brood asking Sum “We got any bug spray on this heap!?!” as she kicks the Brood in the face. Agent Sum grabs Anya and pulls her away before turning his gun on the Brood. The Brood Queen sees the nuclear device and taunts Agent Sum by saying “Oh look…the humans have a weapon!” Sum orders Araña to close her eyes as he prepares to shoot the device and trigger its destructive power. He pulls the trigger only to find that he is out of rounds!
The Brood Queen takes the device in her tentacles, realizing that he intended the device to destroy her. She swats Sum away like a rag doll. At that moment, Ms. Marvel arrives and announces to the Queen that she would never let them have the pleasure of ending her. She tells the Queen that she’s slaughtered her children and that she is the last Brood left on Earth and now it’s her turn.
 Anya is shocked to see Carol in her Binary form and asks what happened to her. Suddenly, Carol feels something shift inside her and realizes that something is wrong. She describes the feeling as “the universe telling me to shut up and sit down”.
 Carol doesn’t listen and decides to use what’s left of her power to remove the threat of the Brood Queen. She grabs the alien matriarch and crashes through one of the Minicarrier’s windows just as Wonder Man and Sleepwalker return.
 Wonder Man calls out to her but Carol doesn’t listen. She throws the Brood Queen towards an active volcano nearby. Carol then lands near her, as she realizes that her body has burned through the energies fueling her “power-up” to Binary form. She lands and falls to her knees. The Brood Queen quickly scoops Carol up and taunts her about her obvious loss of power.
Ms. Marvel punches the Brood Queen and tells her that she still has enough power to take her down. The Queen tightens her grip and looks straight into Carol’s eyes as she says that she’s grown tired of her now. She hurls Carol into the side of the volcano. Carol is incredibly weak and tries to recharge herself by drawing on the ambient energy of the volcano’s heat.
 The Brood Queen closes in for the kill but is hit in the head by a blast of energy from behind. The Queen falls. The blast came from Cru who has reverted to her more human-looking, female form. She announces “It is done.” Carol is surprised to see that Cru has returned to her original form and Cru responds that after their separation, her repair protocols restored her to a more human appearance perhaps due to the period during which they inhabited Carol’s body.
Carol and Cru’s chat is interrupted by the Brood Queen who drives a tentacle through the back of Cru’s head and then flings her into the heart of the volcano. Ms. Marvel cries out in protest but it is too late. The Brood Queen turns to Carol and tells her “Your turn now” to which Carol replies “Try it, bitch!”
The Brood Queen approaches aggressively and carol matches her ferocity with an uppercut followed by an energy blast. The Brood Queen easily shrugs these attacks off and coils her tentacles tightly around Ms. Marvel’s legs. She then slams her hard against the ground and threatens to snap Carol in half and eat her innards.
 As she hits the ground, Carol sees the Minicarrier’s nuclear device on the ground nearby. Apparently it was still in the Brood Queen’s possession when Carol catapulted them both from the ship. Carol grabs the device and takes to the air, dragging the Brood Queen along with her. Carol flies them to the edge of space and then pulls herself free from the Brood Queen’s grasp. She hurls the nuclear device into the Queen’s open mouth and then fires a full energy pulse at it to ignite it! The massive explosion launches the Brood Queen into deep space and throws Carol back towards Earth. She lands in a body of water and falls unconscious. Moments later, the Minicarrier arrives and she is pulled from the water buy a very worried Wonder Man. He asks if she’s okay and she regains consciousness enough to say that she thinks so and “Let’s go home.”
Hours later, Carol returns to her old apartment which she has not been using for the last several weeks. She realizes that home isn’t easy to come by.
  Anya returns home to her father who is grateful that she’s alive. She starts to apologize and he simply embraces her. This touching moment is juxtaposed with Carol’s thoughts that she might like a family and a sense of purpose beyond punching bad guys. She thinks to herself that she doesn’t really have a home or family anymore. She has William (she thinks) and Simon who has stuck by her no matter how many times she’s tries to push him away.
At that moment, Rick Sheridan retires for the evening unleashing his alter ego Sleepwalker. Machine Man is at a SHIELD Repair facility where his new body is being tweaked. He laments not feeling as sexy as before until he discovers his weapons systems. He smiles and declares “I found the sexy!” as he manifests a huge cannon from his chest. Wonder Man is flying near the Minicarrier, looking towards it longingly.
Carol checks herself into the Empire Hotel and promptly takes a bath. She sits in the tub with the shower head dousing her with hot water. She thinks about what she has learned about herself in the past few days. Cru made her face herself in some very uncomfortable ways. She realizes that she rushes into things blindly or runs from them completely. She believes that she is both a coward and a killer.
Three days later, Agent Sum in summoned to Avengers Tower to meet with SHIELD Director, Tony Stark. Stark begins to apologize but Agent Sum says that Wonder Man has explained everything. Tony still apologizes for leaving Sum in the dark about things but that it now appears that this mistake may have been a blessing in disguise. He tells Sum that he is about to share some deeply classified information that is known to only a handful of people. He shares with Sum that the Skrulls have been infiltrating human society with a focus on the superhuman population.   The Iron Man helmet nearby projects a hologram of a Skrull. Stark is telling Sum all this because he has learned that there is a Skrull agent embedded within Operation: Lightning Storm and he wants Agent Sum to take it down quickly and quietly. Agent Sum asks who it is and is shocked when the hologram of the Skrull shifts to an image of Ms. Marvel. Stark tells him that the Skrull agent is currently masquerading as Carol Danvers!

The Secret Invasion
Present Day story:
Tony Stark has just revealed to Agent Sum that Carol Danvers is a Skrull! Sum asks how he knows this for sure. Stark shows a hologram video of Carol Danvers inside Stark Tower. The video was taken four days earlier during the time when Ms. Marvel and the Lightning Storm team were on Monster Island fighting the Brood.
Sum asks if this could be Warbird, a twisted and vindictive version of Carol Danvers from an alternate reality. Iron Man confirms that Warbird is still in custody, heavily sedated and barely clinging to life after her battle against Rogue and Ms. Marvel. Tony adds the bad news, that the real Carol left the Minicarrier before she could be warned about the Skrull impersonator and there’s no way of being certain that she’s even still alive. Sum looks dismayed at the news.
Meanwhile, Carol Danvers has checked into a hotel and feels much better after a good night’s rest. As she gets ready for the day, she realizes that she’s been focusing a bit too much on fighting bad guys lately and needs to deal with the things she has let slide. Chief among them is her fledgling relationship with William Wagner, her growing friendship with Wonder Man and long overdue business with her publicist, Sarah Day. Carol declares that this is going to be a “Me Day” and that she’s going to deal with all this stuff that has piled up in her personal life.
As she soars into the sky above her hotel, she makes a detour to a nearby neighborhood where she recently took down an AIM research lab built under a laundry mat. She calls this her “weekly AIM checkup” to ensure that things are still quiet.  She is surprised to see the laundry open for business after being boarded up since her fight with AIM. She lands and enters the laundromat.  As she does so, everyone in the place pulls out a weapon. One of the goons calls out “It’s her! It’s Ms. Marvel!”, another orders everyone to “Battle stations!” They open fire and she deftly takes them out in a series of dazzling combat moves. She figures that with this crew, the direct approach works best and gets right to the meat of the conflict.
As the battle rages, the AIM agent in charge of shipment management orders his crew to “Ship the package now!” Below ground, a team of agents wheels a large crate to its destination. Ms. Marvel bursts through the wall and takes down a pair of AIM agents with a focused energy bolt. She realizes that this is a sloppy way of fighting: punching first and asking questions later. Regardless, she knows it gets results.
The shipment manager receives a report that the “package” has left the facility and orders his team not to resist Ms. Marvel’s assault any further. Carol finds a loading dock filled with moving vans marked “Mac-Ray”. She makes a late New Year’s resolution to think things through more in the future and adds that she shouldn’t eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in one sitting either. A moving truck backs up and slams forcefully into her. She is momentarily stunned but recovers quickly and smashes through the hood of the truck. Seeing the disabled truck, she realizes that there is one missing from the fleet of identical, numbered vans. She curses and vows to canvas the neighborhood in search of it.
Carol switches out of her fighting togs and makes her way to William Wagner’s restaurant. The place is empty and the manager tells Carol that she’s just missed him. She mentions that he’s in Westchester where he’s buying a house.
 Carol begins to ask if she’ll tell him that she came by when William arrives. He’s surprised to see her and the manager looks upset that she wasn’t able to get rid of carol before he showed up. Carol asks him if they can talk outside for a minute and launches into an apology for not getting back to him sooner. She starts to explain about the alien attack she was dealing with and he stops her. He apologizes for thinking he could do this and tells her that he can’t anymore. He asks her to just leave him alone. Carol is surprised by his response and admits to herself that she didn’t think their relationship would end the way it just did.
William immediately calls Carol’s publicist, Sarah Day to inform her that he has broken things off with Carol. Sarah is surprised that he has access to her direct line. William asks if his secret is safe now and she assures him that it is. She takes his file from her purse and places it in her bag.
Carol arrives at Sarah’s office and she seems delighted to see her latest star client. She asks Carol how she is and Carol replies honestly “I’ve had better days.” Sarah asks her to sit since they have so much to discuss. She starts by asking why she had to hear about Ms. Marvel’s battle with the Puppet Master from Tony Stark. Carol wonders why Tony would have mentioned it to Sarah at all and Ms. Day reminds her that she’s also the press agent for the Lightning Storm team. She commends Carol on single-handedly taking down a foe who menaced the Fantastic Four for years and reminds her that this sort of thing is big news. Carol slumps into an armchair and tells Sarah she’d rather not talk about it. Carol thinks to herself that she basically killed the Puppet Master and that she should have made a better choice.
Sarah gets down to business and asks why Carol’s there. Carol reminds Sarah of the frantic call she placed recently about the Daily Bugle. Sarah smiles and tells Carol not to worry about that silliness, since J. Jonah Jameson has had a heart attack since the whole thing happened. Carol is shocked to hear this and Sarah treats the whole thing as wonderful news that means they don’t have to worry as much about his renewed vendetta against Ms. Marvel. Carol points out that she’s been mind-controlled and possessed by an alien quite a bit over the last few days and asks Sarah to explain what exactly has happened.
Sarah asks her assistant to bring in the newspaper they are suing the Bugle over. Carol sees the picture of her kissing Wonder Man and the headline “As Cops Die, Ms. Marvel Smooches”. She curses and says that this is terrible. Sarah whole-heartedly agrees and says that Jameson should have known that “Ms. Marvel Smooches As Cops Die” would have been a stronger headline. Carol asks why Sarah isn’t as mad about this front page article as she was when she called. Sarah glibly replies that Jameson had a heart attack and that this is enough for her. It dawns on Carol that William had mentioned the Daily Bugle when he called the other night and suddenly his abrupt decision to break things off makes sense.
Moments later, Carol is walking home and leaving a message for William. She tells him that she’s met with Sarah and knows about the article now. Her voicemail message is cut short when she catches sight of a Mac-Ray truck like the ones she saw earlier at the AIM facility. She ends the call and asks William to call her as she transforms into Ms. Marvel. She flies up and lands on the roof of the truck, determined not to rush into things like before.
 The truck carrying “the package” heads to Corona Park where an AIM base lies hidden under the Unisphere. Carol can’t help but be impressed by the “old school” charm of the base’s location. The AIM drivers apologize to “the package” for the sudden relocation and inform him that this base will be operational in a few days. “The package” is revealed to be a Skrull who possesses the powers and physical traits of the X-Men Colossus, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Cyclops. He says that this is “unacceptable” and that he “must find the Kree man now!”
The Skrull stops ranting when his enhanced senses smell an intruder. He looks up at Ms. Marvel and shoots an optic blast at her. She is thrown through a wall and lands outside. The Skrull introduces himself as Rl’nnd, son of Rm’twr and declares that he will bring glory to the empire and his father’s name! He fires another optic blast but Ms. Marvel is ready this time. She dodges the blast and throws a punch at Rl’nnd but misses as he teleports away. He bamfs behind her and punches her. She turns and hits him with a photon burst which barely fazes him. He pops his claws and tells her that she smells of his true prey… she smells like Kree! He abandons their fight now that he has the scent of his true prey and can continue with his mission. Ms. Marvel is left confused and wondering what his true mission might be.
As she flies back to the city, Carol things about the Skrull’s statement and who he could be after. The only Kree she knows is on Earth is Mar-vell and she hasn’t been near him in days. The only people she had contact with that day were Sarah and William. She wonders about William and decides to call him even if it means looking like a “crazy ex-girlfriend”
. She worries about what she might say “Hi, William? Are you secretly a Kree?” William answers and Carol starts by clarifying that this is a “super hero call” not a “crazy ex-girlfriend call”. Williams seems overly surprised to hear Carol’s voice. Someone else in the room asks “Who is it?” as Carol tells William that she didn’t want to show up without making sure it was okay first. William turns to look at his guest, who looks exactly like Carol Danvers!
 She asks again “Who’s on the phone?” and William tells Ms. Marvel “I Think you should come over to my apartment right away.” The impostor again asks who is on the phone as William tells Ms. Marvel to come quickly. The impostor’s eyes glow with energy and turn green as she demands to know who is on the phone.
Ms. Marvel hears William scream and the phone goes dead. She pours on the speed and frantically crashes through the wall of his apartment, hoping against hope that he is okay. She searches the apartment and finds William lying across his bed. Dead. Before the shock of the sight before her can set in, Agent Sum enters the room and tells her to put her hands in the air. He aims his gun at her and tells her that whether she’s a human or a Skrull the ammunition in the gun will take her down. He repeats his order once more “Hands in the air. NOW!”
Flashback story:
NASA security chief Carol Danvers stands near a small crater. Nestled in the center is a small, round device of unknown origins. Carol tells those assembled that this item was picked up a few minutes earlier when it dropped out of orbit. She asks her colleague Dr. Walter Lawson if he has any idea what it is. Lawson replies that he has no idea but he is lying. Lawson is truly the Kree warrior Mar-Vell and he recognizes the device as a Skrull interplanetary probe.
Later, Carol seeks out Dr. Lawson but finds his laboratory empty with the exception of the device they recovered earlier. Carol wonders where Lawson has disappeared to this time and hopes that she was correct in her assumption that this unknown device presented no threat. She presumes that it is a piece of space junk and told the president she saw no reason to delay their planned shuttle launch despite its sudden appearance. She touches the device with gentle curiosity.
Carol is unaware that her touch has activated the probe. It scans her completely and transmits the biological data it acquires to its creators… the alien Skrulls! The Skrull scientists review the incoming data. While there is some satisfaction among the scientists regarding the volume of sample data the probe is providing, one scientist dismisses it as useless. He refers to Carol as a “pitiful female”. The lead scientist, Rm’twr says that they will need all the DNA samples they can get if their plan is to work. His colleague says that he is either an optimist or a fool.
Back at Cape Canaveral, final preparations are underway for the launch of the space shuttle Invincible. Dr. Lawson is boarding the shuttle under the pretence of needing to complete some diagnostic checks. In reality, he is checking for any signs of subterfuge from the Skrulls! He is escorted to the shuttle by “Carol Danvers” but once they are on the shuttle, she reveals herself to be a Skrull! The Skrull agent thanks the doctor for his help in gaining access to the ship. He reveals that he was aware of Lawson’s true identity as the Kree hero Mar-Vell before he shoots him with an energy blaster. He declares that he will steal this shuttle and deliver Mar-Vell to the Skrull empress.
On the ground below, the true Carol Danvers is busy overseeing last minute inspections prior to the launch. She and her crew are shocked when the shuttle begins to move. After urging her team to clear the area, Danvers heads to the cockpit to check on Dr. Lawson. She knows that if something has gone wrong, he’ll need a trained pilot to safely land the shuttle. As she races across the gangplank, the shuttle launches into the sky. Carol realizes that if she’s there when the shuttle passes, she’ll be burned alive. She leaps for the open door to the cockpit and just makes it on board. She sees the unconscious Dr. Lawson and wonders what has happened. She crawls to the cockpit though she is weighed down by the g-forces. She asks aloud “Where’s Captain Marvel when we need him, right doc?”
As zero gravity takes effect, she sees that the door to the cockpit is ajar. She quickly secures it and then makes her way to the cockpit. There she finds the Skrull agent, Rm’twr at the controls and recognizes it as one of the aliens that the Fantastic Four encountered. She sneaks up on him and grabs his blaster. She shoots him point-blank and tosses him aside. A moment later, Dr. Lawson awakes and is surprised to see the dead Skrull and Carol at the helm. She tells Lawson to toss the dead Skrull in the back and strap himself in. Carol is satisfied with herself as she realizes she didn’t need Captain Marvel to save the day. She thinks “…I might just make a pretty good super hero myself!” as she pilots the shuttle back towards Earth.

Nanjing, China – 1368:
A pair of Mongolian warriors rides through a Chinese town on horseback. One of the men calls to the villagers to be gone and clear out “my streets”. A defiant voice tells him “These streets will not be yours for long, Mongolian dog!” The Mongolian soldier turns and says “Someone seeks a quick death”, a menacing smile on his lips. The voice replies “Indeed. I seek yours!” A huge spear pierces the Mongol warrior’s chestplate and knocks him from his horse. Before the other warrior can react, the unseen man kicks him across the face and recovers his spear. His defiant Chinese attacker is revealed to be Agent Sum. He tells the Mongolian to return to Kublai Khan and inform him that Zhu Yuanzhang has declared that his time in China is at an end. The battered Mongolian asks “Agent Sum” if he is Zhu Yuanzhang. Sum replies that he is but the sword that Zhu Yuanzhang wields, the sword that will pierce Kublai Khan’s heart.
The Present:
As Agent Sum approaches her with his gun drawn, Ms. Marvel thinks to herself that she is one of only three people who know the truth about him, where he’s from and how dangerous he can be. She begins to tell him that he doesn’t understand and he repeats his order to her: “Put your hands in the air”. Carol adds that he also just insinuated that she was a Skrull. He ignores her comment and begins counting down from three. She yells at him to “stand down this instant” and ignites her fists with cascading energy but he continues to count. She shouts that this is a murder scene as he reaches “one” and fires on her. She dodges the shot and blasts him into a wall. She takes a second to wonder why he would think she’s a Skrull and then remembers that her boyfriend William Wagner is lying dead on his bed.
She has no time to mourn as Agent Sum recovers quickly. He fires several rounds at Ms. Marvel as she flies about the room. Her whole world has been turned upside down and she tries to think it all through while escaping from Agent Sum. She thinks back on her discovery of a Super-Skrull with the powers of several X-Men. Then finding William Wagner murdered in his own apartment followed by Agent Sum’s attack. She bursts through a wall and is hit hard from above by Machine Man, driving her into the floor. He grins and says “Job ssssssatisfaction!”
 Carol is surprised to be attacked by yet another member of her team and calls out “Aaron!?!” as she blasts him away. Carol evades his return fire and flies away, only to run into Sleepwalker down the hall. He employs his warp gaze to encase Ms. Marvel in metal and wires. She tries to tell him to back off and that they have the wrong idea about everything. Carol bursts free from her bonds and realizes that he only way that Agent Sum could have mobilized her Lightning Storm team without her authorization is if Tony Stark himself approved this action. As Sum and Aaron catch up to her, it dawns on her that if Tony thinks she’s a Skrull, then no where will be safe. Sum orders her to surrender and Machine Man voices his hope that she doesn’t so he can shoot at her some more. Carol smashes through a wall and flies away. Aaron tells Agent Sum that he can chase her and Sum tells him to go.
Carol lands on a rooftop where she lands to take a moment to think. She is instantly overwhelmed by all that has transpired over the last few minutes. She thinks about the gravity of Tony Stark believing she’s a Skrull. She considers phoning Tony and then remembers William and the revelation that he may have been a Kree. As she’s weighing all this, Aaron catches up to her. He asks Carol if she knows why he agreed to join Operation: Lightning Storm. He tells her that he did it in exchange for a Life Model Decoy of Monica Rambeau, leader of the last team he served on. Aaron asked that the LMD be programmed to cry all the time because he found it amusing. However, he’s just decided that hearing a Skrull scream would be even funnier. Whirling blades spring from his chest and he smiles sadistically. “So scream, little Skrull thing. Scream.” he says as he approaches her.
Carol dodges the blades and tells him emphatically “I’m not a Skrull!” He replies that this is “Exactly what a Skrull would say!” after which Ms. Marvel punches him so hard his head pops off. He says drolly “Uncalled for” as his body continues to attack. Ms. Marvel asks why anyone would think that she was a Skrull. Aaron replies that he didn’t ask as that might have “stopped the violence from happening”. He reattaches his head as Ms. Marvel grabs him and pulls him close. She tells him to take a message to Tony Stark: “I am not a Skrull! If there is a Skrull on Earth impersonating me, I will find it and kill it.” She then asks that while she is doing that that he try to find out who killed William Wagner. She reveals that she fought a Skrull with the powers of the X-Men earlier that day and that is claimed to have smelled a Kree and she thinks it meant William. She rips Aaron’s head off and kicks him with such force that it snaps his body in half. She screams at him “Tell Stark! Tell him!”
At that moment, A voice from behind asks “And why would Aaron tell Stark you were the real Ms. Marvel?” Carol turns as an exact duplicate of her attacks screaming “You’re nothing but a dirty Skrull!” The second Ms. Marvel punches the first and tells her to “Stay down!” as the Minicarrier arrives with a battalion of armored SHIELD “cape-killers”. Carol thinks to herself that she’d like nothing better than to slug this one out until the bitter end. However, she realizes that if she lets the situation play itself out it may straighten this mess up completely. Agent Sum emerges and orders his team of troops to secure them both. The newly arrived duplicate smiles and says “Good to see you, Agent Sum” to which Carol replies “Shut the $#@* up, ya Skrull!” Both Ms. Marvels raise their hands to surrender.
The Skrull Ms. Marvel begins to offer her full cooperation to Sum who curtly orders them both to remain silent. Sum turns to Machine Man, whose body is knitting itself back together but whose head is still detached and asks if he’s okay. Aaron dryly replies “Of course, why do you ask?”  As they make their way onto the Minicarrier, Carol thinks to herself that her Skrull impersonator is playing it cool and doing just the right things to keep the others off-guard.
 Agent Sum lifts Machine Man’s head so he can look the two Ms. Marvels over and asks which one he was fighting. He indicates the real Ms. Marvel and Agent Sum removes her sash to help in keeping the two distinct. He then orders them taken to the brig and kept under constant “eyes on” observation. As the troops usher into the Minicarrier, no one notices a large Skrull join them on the rooftop and assumes the form of a SHIELD cape-killer. Carol herself is relieved at the situation. The way she sees it, she’ll be able to prove the veracity of her identity and they’ll have a Skrull in custody. Even better, this means she won’t have to escape and live as a fugitive while trying to prove her innocence.
Carol is kept imprisoned with the Skrull for over an hour. At that time, agents come and escort her away. The Skrull Ms. Marvel smiles and waves daintily. Carol thinks to herself that she’d die of shame if she ever did that. She is taken to her living quarters which are in shambles from the Minicarrier’s recent attack by Cru followed by the Brood… an apt metaphor for the state of Carol’s life at the moment. Agent Sum is there waiting and tells her that she and her double are identical to all possible medical scans, yet one of them is definitely a Skrull. Carol asks if this is why he’s hanging out in her trashed bedroom. He tells her that he needed to see her away from the other Ms. Marvel so that they can talk. Carol tells him she’s eager to prove her identity and get on with things.
He begins with simple questions like her name, then she asks what his name is. Carol asks if he means the name everyone knows him by or his true name. Sum seems a bit surprised and says “Excuse me?” Carol goes on to tell him his real name and that he was born in 1320 in China. He brushes this level of detail off and suggests that the Skrulls must have hacked SHIELD’s files. Carol tosses back at him that his records are so sensitive that they exist only on paper and questions how a Skrull would have accessed those.
Sum changes direction and asks for Carol’s command code to the Minicarrier’s computers. Carol stays on track in questioning him and proceeds to tell him more of his ancient history. Sum glares at her and again asks for her command code. She shoots back a question of her own “Who gave you that scar?” Again, Sum demands her command codes. Ms. Marvel replies “You don’t know my command code to be able to verify it.” He replies “Is that a fact? You might be surprised at what I know.” Carol glares at him and asks “How many are on my ship?” Sum says “Excuse me?” and she continues “Skrulls. There’s the one on the brig that looks like me. And there’s you.”
Ms. Marvel moves quickly, using the power draining gauntlets around her wrists as a blunt weapon to clock “Agent Sum”. She calls to the guards to remove her restraints and tells them that Agent Sum has been replaced by a Skrull. “Sum” rubs his chin and orders that Carol be taken back to the cell and that the guards bring him the other Ms. Marvel immediately. As the guards pull Carol away she hesitates and wonders if she was wrong about Sum, thinking that if he were a Skrull he’d have retaliated. But as she’s being led out, Agent Sum walks in the door. As Carol realizes that there are two Agent Sums, the Skrull reveals his true identity: Rl’nnd…the Super-Skrull possessing the powers of the X-Men! Rl’nnd declares “Glory to the Empire!” and Carol feels vindicated now that she knows she was correct. She demands that they remove her power restraints before another alien destroys her home.
Elsewhere on the Minicarrier, Aaron is reconnecting with his Life Model Decoy of Monica Rambeau, which recently served as a temporary body for him after his original form sustained massive damage at the hands of Cru. He puts her head back on and she begins to whine and carry on as she was programmed to. “I used to the lead the Avengers! And now I’m trapped here with you! Trapped forever! ... WAAAAAA!” Aaron smiles and says that it feels like home again. He then demands that she tell him “how hard it is to resist my sexy robot body“ but he is cut off as Carol slams Rl’nnd through the wall.
In his quarters, Rick Sheridan awakes and is disoriented from having “overslept” thanks to the device that sedates him so that Sleepwalker can remain active when needed. Rick realizes that Sleepwalker hardly tells him anything these days and he’s feeling out of the loop on his alter ego’s activities. He hears a rumble that precedes Ms. Marvel and Rl’nnd smashing into the room from below. The impact knocks Rick against a wall.
In the brig, the Skrull Ms. Marvel tries to convince the guards to release her. The battle makes its way there and Ms. Marvel, Sleepwalker, Agent Sum and Aaron all converge on Rl’nnd at once. Carol orders them to use lethal force. As Rl’nnd is killed, the Skrull impersonating Carol calls out his name and transforms into her Skrull form. The genuine Ms. Marvel turns on her angrily and says “I’m sorry. Did I kill your boyfriend? I can’t imagine what that like.” The Skrull female is surprised and asks if she was the Kree man’s lover. Carol asks her if the man she killed tonight was truly a Kree. The Skrull assumes William’s face and confirms that he was a Kree but informs Carol that he is not dead. She confesses that she posed as him to convince Ms. Marvel that he had been killed. The Skrull tells her that they have imprisoned him and that she will tell her where if she agrees to spare her life.

Secret Invasion – Part 3
Ms. Marvel and her Lightning Storm team stand in the Minicarrier’s holding cell face-to-face with a Skrull agent! The Skrull had assumed the form of Ms. Marvel but was revealed to be an impostor. She now has shape-shifted into William Wagner, who Carol thought was killed but was in fact, a Kree spy captured by the Skrulls.
Carol approaches the Skrull and demands that she stop using William’s form immediately. The Skrull complies and tells Carol once again that William is actually a Kree spy sent to uncover the Skrull’s invasion plans.  Like the Kree warrior Mar-Vell, William assumed the identity of a deceased human when he arrived on Earth. Ms. Marvel glares at the alien and tells her that she has three seconds to convince her that William is alive or she guarantees that she’ll be as dead as her Skrull companion, Rl’nnd.
The Skrull reveals that they gave William to their human allies in AIM. Carol asks where they are now and the Skrull replies that they were to take him south to a place called “Orlundia”. Carol surmises that she means Orlando and the Skrull confirms this and that they have already left the city. Ms. Marvel powers up and tells the Skrull that there’s clearly nothing else she can actually do to help her. The Skrull agrees that she’s told her everything and says “Now do what you will”.
Carol lets the Skrull live though she confesses to Agent Sum as they leave the holding cell that all she wants to do is “kill that thing”. She asks him if she’s wrong to feel that way. He replies that it would have killed them all and may still try to. Carol says that the important thing is that they have a Skrull prisoner and that they may be able to learn more about the Skrulls’ plans from her. She adds that she’s tired of feeling like she’s running around in the dark and feeling like an idiot. Sum stops her and says that he needs to apologize for how he handled things earlier. He’s not sure how else he could have handled things but he wishes he had done a better job. Carol tells him to forget it, that he did what he thought was right given the circumstances. She tells him that if he had done anything different, she wouldn’t have him on her team.
A short time later Carol and her team assemble in the Communication Room. She asks Machine Man what he’s got and he replies “…A question as to why the robot had to be the one to use Google maps.” Carol tells him that she’s in no mood for his jokes and asks if he’s found the truck that is transporting William Wagner yet. He makes another snarky comment as he pulls up images of the fleeing vehicle. Ms. Marvel asks if he enjoyed it when she tore him apart earlier in the evening because she can do it again. She then asks if he has a lock on the vehicle and knows where it is right now. Aaron replies in the affirmative and Carol orders him to get that info to the bridge with instructions to intercept the truck within the hour. Aaron disconnects himself from the communications array and says that he liked Ms. Marvel a lot better before she learned that her boyfriend was an alien.
It is not long before Ms. Marvel’s Lightning Storm team is hovering above the Mac-Ray truck that is secretly an AIM transport. She commands Sleepwalker to halt its progress using his “warp gaze” and he answers dutifully “Yes sir, Ms. Marvel.” Focusing his reality warping gaze on the road in front of the truck, he causes it to arch upward into a ramp.
 Carol orders her team to surround it and she flies in front of it and braces herself to stop it in its tracks. She thinks to herself “I’m coming for you, William” as she does this. To her surprise, the truck appears to be intangible and passes right through her! She asks what just happened as the truck proceeds up the ramp created by Sleepwalker and launches into the air.
She asks Machine Man to examine the vehicle for an explanation and after scanning it on multiple spectrums he concludes that the vehicle doesn’t truly exist. Sleepwalker has immobilized the “vehicle” in his warp gaze and Machine Man flies up and emerges from the illusion of the truck holding a highly sophisticated mobile hologram projector. He hands it to Ms. Marvel who realizes that AIM has William and they now have no clue where to find him. She says to the others that it is her fault that they got away. Agent Sum assures her that they’ll find him.
Aboard the Minicarrier, the Skrull agent is ranting to the camera in her holding cell. She tells those watching to “Look upon the face of your destroyer!” She declares that the Skrull empire will rule over them and feast on their young. Meanwhile, two armored SHIELD agents drag away the body of her Super-Skrull partner. Ms. Marvel enters and is clearly ticked off. She pushes past the SHIELD guards and grabs the Skrull prisoner by the throat. She says that the Skrull knew it was a trick all along and demands to know where William is. The Skrull merely laughs at Ms. Marvel.
Carol tosses her across the room and demands that she tell her everything she knows. The Skrull hits the wall hard and slumps to the ground. Carol is on her in an instant. She asks why they are on Earth. The Skrull replies “Because it is ours, not yours!” Carol kicks the Skrull in the face and asks what they are doing with AIM. Before the Skrull can answer, Ms. Marvel grabs her by the throat. The Skrull looks Carol in the eye and tells her to listen closely. She says that she has something important to say to her but she will only tell her once. The Skrull’s eyes begin to glow an eerie green as she utters the words “He loves you.”
The Skrull says this religious mantra and it causes her body to explode with incredible force! The Minicarrier is torn asunder by the explosion and crashes to the ground in a fiery blaze. Some members of the crew are thrown from the craft as it disintegrates. Machine Man crashes into a car on the street below. Sleepwalker hits the road nearby as does the super-durable Agent Sum. Ms. Marvel remains aboard the ship and frantically begins searching for survivors. She immediately begins to blame herself for angering the Skrull and causing it to lash out in this way. She staggers from the wreckage to get a clear look at the damage. The Minicarrier crashed directly into the middle of a busy freeway. Cars are strewn about and the Minicarrier is consumed by flames. Machine Man is helping a motorist to safety while Agent Sum radios for emergency personnel.
Sleepwalker cries out with a heart-wrenching “NOOOOOOOO!” when he discovers the grievously injured body of his human host, Rick Sheridan. He tells Ms. Marvel that Rick is dying and that he will cease to be as well if Rick dies. He says that he needs a doctor immediately and Carol thinks of Doctor Farrell. She turns to look for him amongst the wreckage and spots him immediately. His body lies just a few feet, crushed by a large section of the ship. His eyes are wide open and he clearly died a painful death. Seeing him there, the reality of the situation sinks in for Carol.
The next night, Carol explains what happened to Wonder Man at his apartment. She says that it took a few hours to complete the rescue efforts. He asks what happened with Rick and Sleepwalker and Carol reports that Rick is now in stable condition. Carol continues her tale and tells Simon that when the work was done, she felt things start to fall apart. She felt herself losing control as if the whole world was tumbling down around her.
 Simon starts to interrupt her to offer some words of encouragement but she demands that he listen to her. She says that she doesn’t know where to start. She points out that people think a lot of good things about her and she’s been given a lot of responsibilities, like leading the Avengers and her own SHIELD strike team. But she doesn’t know why she keeps being given these responsibilities or why people think she can handle them. Simon stops her and places a hand on her shoulder. He tries to tell her that she is good at what she does and has done a lot of good these past few months.
 Carol pulls away. She tells him that she foiled the Brood invasion by sheer luck and then betrayed her friends during the Civil War. She adds that she tried to kill the Doomsday Man and an evil, alternate reality version of herself called Warbird but she proved too strong and angry to die. She confesses to him that she didn’t care id MODOK lived or died, so long as he didn’t harm anyone else. She then admits to him that she killed the Puppet Master.
 Simon is taken aback by this and says that she originally told him that he pushed the button that detonated his lair himself. Carol says that he did but she didn’t stop him and that she could have. Simon argues that he was crazy and blew himself up before she could react. Carol tells him that she could have stopped him, that she had plenty of time but that she consciously chose not to.  He tries to calm carol down but she tells him to stop. He won’t hear any more. He tells her that she’s been going on about what an “awful human being” she is but that he just doesn’t see it. He asks if she wants him to agree with her, if that’s why she came to see him. He yells at her “What do you want, damn it? Why did you come here?” She stops him with a passionate kiss!
Carol realizes the moment that she kisses Simon that it’s wrong. But she also knows that what’s she wants and needs and what is right are very far from each other. All she wants it to not think about everything for a while. Simon pulls away and asks what she’s doing. She says that she doesn’t want to think for a few hours, that she doesn’t want to deal with responsibility or anything else. She pulls Simon back into a kiss and says “Please, Simon just…” and he gives in. He pulls her to him and returns the kiss with all the passion and feelings that have been growing for Carol for the past several months.
The next morning, Simon is awoken by an Avengers priority alert. It notifies him that a Skrull ship has entered Earth’s atmosphere. He yawns and asks what’s happening. Carol is already suited up and hands Simon his keys. She tells him “you heard the man, Williams. Get up. Get dressed. Avengers Assemble!”

Secret Invasion – The Battle of Manhattan
Ms. Marvel is pinned to the ground by a dozen Skrull hands, her eyes look up at them wide with fear. She watches as dozens of super-powered Skrull warriors swarm through downtown Manhattan. She thinks to herself that this is how the world will end, not with a whimper as some believe.
 Smoke rises from the remnants of cars and buildings as the Skrull forces surge forward. Summoning her superhuman strength, Ms. Marvel pushes the Skrulls off of her and rises to her feet. She begins to lash out at the Skrulls with her energy powers. She wonders if the other Avengers are still alive, having left them in the Savage Land upon Iron Man’s orders. She also wonders why she seems to be the only one fighting and where the Initiative is.
 She takes down one Super-Skrull and buys herself a little breathing room, but she is still surrounded. She decides that even if she is the only hero standing in New York City right now and destined to die as result, that she’s going to take “as many of these damn aliens” with her as she can.
She gathers her energy powers around her clenched fists and sends out an arc of energy that subdues a trio of Skrulls. She doesn’t see the hulking Super-Skrull behind her until well after he has attacked. He bears traits that make it clear that he was designed for raw strength, combining the might of the Hulk, Hercules and the Sentry. His blow sends Carol slamming into the ground, leaving a deep trench in the ground where she hits and skids to a halt. She curses as she gets up and the Skrull behemoth charges her. She dodges and he crashes head-first into the ground. He gets right back up and Ms. Marvel hits him in the face with an energy blast. This only manages to make him angry and he unleashes an energy blast from his eyes that shreds Ms. Marvel’s costume. She looks down and curses at him for ruining her outfit, but seems unscathed.
The Super-Skrull picks up a car and is about to throw it at Carol. She mocks him by saying “Look at you… all big and strong. But not as strong as me!” She flies into the air and blasts the car, causing it to explode. She then flies straight at him, sweeping him into the air. She soars higher, smashing her way through several skyscrapers using his body as a battering ram. The Super-Skrull pounds on her back with superhuman strength but Carol doesn’t slow down for an instant. She flies them straight up into the upper atmosphere and hurls him into space.
She thinks to herself that she might as well kill it while she has the chance. She stops and hovers in space, casually assuming a lotus position.  The Super-Skrull gasps for breath and slowly expires. Carol simply watches and a smile crosses her face. She recognizes her own enjoyment at watching it die. This experience alters Carol’s mindset. She realizes that right now, none of the things that have been weighing on her matter much. She sets aside her concerns about her popularity, her relationship with Wonder Man or whether or not her boyfriend, William Wagner is alive or dead. All that matters is the fight she is currently engaged in for the freedom of Earth.
Ms. Marvel then flies back down to the heart of Manhattan and faces off against a group of Super-Skrulls. She glares at them and raises her fist which is aglow with energy. She announces that she killed their comrade and asks “Who’s next?” Carol shifts fully into the comfortable role of the warrior and tears into the Skrulls with wild abandon and ferocity. She approaches the battle as a soldier in a war, with no qualms or moral boundaries. Her goals are simple and clear: kill as many enemy Skrulls as possible, save as many human lives as she can.
 This clarity of purpose is a welcome change for Ms. Marvel who has been plagued by doubts and moral quandaries for months. She relishes the opportunity to cut loose and focus on the battle. She smiles and enjoys the fight as only a warrior-born can. Super-Skrulls fall before her as she tears into their ranks mercilessly. She punches and blasts every Skrull she sees until her fists ache. This only makes her fight harder. She remembers what it feels like to be a true warrior and is so happy with the feeling that it almost brings her to tears.
Carol bears down on another contingent of Skrulls and taunts them by saying they are pitiful. She moves forward to attack and at the last possible moment, the Skrull shape-shifts into a small girl. Carol cannot help but flinch and the Skrulls take full advantage of this. All of the Skrulls on the street before her transform into human civilians. This leads to confusion among the crowd and Carol herself is unsure how to discern who is human and who is a Skrull.
 She calls out to the humans in the crowd to come closer, suspecting that this group of Skrulls does not speak English. One member of the crowd points out that this is New York and not everyone speaks English. Carol tries to assure him by saying that she speaks a few other languages. An elderly woman approaches Ms. Marvel and as she draws close to the woman warrior, lashes out and speaks in the Skrull tongue. Ms. Marvel is thrown against a wall and by the time she gets up, the Skrull has shifted its form again and blended back into the crowd. Carol tries to devise another way to identify the Skrulls in her midst. While she ponders this, the Skrull act. An unseen Skrull snaps the neck of a human and tosses his lifeless body in front of Ms. Marvel, simply to prove that they can. The crowd reacts and the Skrulls play along to disguise themselves. A man asks helplessly if she’s going to do something.
Ms. Marvel finally comes up with a strategy. She fires a broad swath of energy into the crowd. It is strong enough to knock down an ordinary human but not affect the more durable and sturdy Super-Skrulls at all. The crowd thinks she’s turned on them and the Skrulls think she’s insane to attack her own people, but her stratagem works.
 The Super-Skrulls remain standing and assume their true forms and attack. She meets them head on and makes short work of them. She notes that while they were designed as fighters that they are not warriors. She flies over to the remaining humans who back away from her in fear. She tries to briefly explain that she did what she did to save them and that she plans to finish the job. She tells them she will escort them to the nearby Stark Tower where they’ll be safe. Her announcement is interrupted by a huge “THOOM” and a groundswell that buckles the street beneath them. Ms. Marvel looks up at a gigantic Super-Skrull that towers over the crowd. Ms. Marvel orders the bystanders to head for Stark Tower and not to stop until they get there. She powers up and says simply “I’ll handle this” and the enormous giant of a Skrull reaches down menacingly to grab her.

Secret Invasion – The Battle of Manhattan – Part 2
Ms. Marvel commands a crowd of bystanders to “RUN!” as a gigantic Super-Skrull that towers above them collapses a pair of skyscrapers. People fall from the buildings as they crumble and Ms. Marvel takes to the sky to rescue as many as she is able. She knows that she will not be fast enough to save them all, but she does the best she can. The buildings collapse killing hundreds. Carol knows that she managed to save a few dozens but the thought of those that she was unable to save fuels her rage. As the dust settles, Ms. Marvel emerges. Her face speaks volumes about her grim determination. She says coldly “All right, you gigantic Skrull &%$#. Time for you… to die.”
As Carol rockets towards the giant Skrull she thinks how deeply tires she is. She has been fighting since the Avengers landed in the Savage Land and then flew all the way back to New York under her own power. Since she arrived, she has been in constant combat with super-powered Skrull invaders. She’s not sure if it’s been hours or days though it feels like seconds. Carol realizes that the battle fatigue she is feeling feels good.
The giant Skrull roars out a challenge in the Skrull tongue and Ms. Marvel responds with an immense energy blast that burns out the Skrull’s eye!  He howls in pain as Ms. Marvel flies away. She remembers that with shape-shifters their vital organs are not always in the traditional position. She also notes that the sheer size of this one makes him less vulnerable to her attacks. So she adjusts her strategy. Using her superhuman strength, she rips a large communication tower in half and flings it at the enormous Super-Skrull. It rips through the center of the Skrull’s chest. Carol then fires a bolt of energy through the tower, frying the Skrull from the inside. The Skrull falls backwards and Ms. Marvel punches him again so that he does not fall into a building but onto the street below.
Carol lands over the dead body of the Skrull and says simply “Welcome to New York.” A voice from behind calls out her name and Carol is overjoyed to see Agent Sum who is leading a group of survivors to safety. He reports that some of the people he’s with claim she was shooting at them. Ms. Marvel looks at him and says simply, “Extenuating circumstances. Agent Sum looks at her with a suspicious look. She tells him flatly that he apologized the last time he put a gun in her face and asks if he plans to make the same mistake twice. He grits his teeth and replies “of course not.”
Sum asks where the other Avengers are and Carol briefly explains that they are in the Savage Land. She adds that she’s been fighting Super-Skrulls since she arrived in New York. Sum reports that the local SHIELD network is down and he’s been unable to contact anyone. Carol suggests that they head towards the nearby Stark Tower where they can properly regroup. Sum replies that that was his plan.
 As they talk, an armored Super-Skrull swoops down from the sky towards them. Ms. Marvel casually interrupts their planning with “ ‘Scuse me a second.” She unleashes an energy bolt that causes a nearby car to explode, killing the Super-Skrull in the resulting blast. A cadre of Super-Skrulls converges upon them. She and Sum fight them back-to-back and this time, Carol feels less alone in the battle. She can hear more fighting and chaos in the distance but she never hears sirens. All she can hear is the sound of New York being beaten but never responding. As she kills one Super-Skrull after another, it feeds her desire to see every last one of them dead and their bodies burned in the center of Times Square as a warning to those who would dare attack Earth.
When the last Super-Skrull has fallen, she orders Sum to help her get the survivors to safety. She flies ahead to Stark Tower to ensure that things are under control there before the civilians arrive. She finds the Tower in lockdown mode with a message indicating contamination by an alien virus. She tries entering her Avengers priority code with no success. She returns to Sum who is gathering those who survived the initial attack on Manhattan. Carol tells him that Stark Tower is no longer an option and begins to talk through their options. She is determined to get these people out of the city, preferably to a location with a SHIELD hard line that is secure. She spots a bus and tells everyone to climb aboard. One man protests and says that he was one of the people that she zapped earlier. He asks if she’ll do it again if they refuse. Ms. Marvel replies that she will leave him there to fend for himself. The man says “Fine” and gets on the bus. Sum asks what her plan is and she tells him that she’s going to take them to The Raft, the island uses to incarcerate superhuman felons. It has a SHIELD communication set-up and is easily defensible.
At that moment, another swarm of Super-Skrulls arrives on the scene. They pour into the streets in seemingly endless numbers. Carol tells Sum to start driving and she’ll catch up. She kills the first wave in mere seconds and the rest of the battalion pursue her as planned, leaving Sum and the civilians to make their escape.  Sum drives at the highest speed possible. The snarky man who challenged Ms. Marvel before boarding the bus makes a snide remark about Sum’s driving and Sum tells the man politely to shut up. As they speed along, a large group of Skrulls gather in the street to block their escape. The annoying guy yells to Agent Sum to “Look out!” but instead he plows right through the Skrulls.
Ms. Marvel continues to battle the latest swarm of Super-Skrulls. One of them has elasticity powers and wraps himself around her. She blasts her way free of him and rises above the crowd. She figures that Sum has had ample time to get clear and begins looking for a Skrull with a particular power among the cadre below. She finally spots one with a particular glow of energy around his eyes. The energy signature is the same as the Skrull who blew herself up aboard the Minicarrier. Both possessed the explosive power of Nitro! She zeroes in on this Skrull and begins to beat on him hard, taunting him to try and kill her. Finally, the Skrull explodes with incredible force. The resulting energy blast sweeps through the streets, killing the vast majority of the Skrull contingent.
Agent Sum brings the getaway bus to a stop. One of the passengers notes that they’re at a dead end. Sum replies that they got far away from the site of the battle which means he accomplished his goal. He begins to tell them to stay calm and is interrupted by the annoying guy once more. He demands to know what Sum is going to do. Sum tells him that he is very argumentative and that he’s had enough of him. At that moment, the bus lurches as Ms. Marvel hoists it into the air.
Ms. Marvel thinks to herself that she’s “damn tired” but vows to get these people to safety before she collapses. She flies them to The Raft and sets the bus down. When she lands, no one emerges to greet them. Given their high security level and numerous back-up systems, this is cause for concern. Carol tells Sum to stay with the bus while she checks things out. As she opens the door to the facility, the stench of death hits her. She ignites some energy around her fist to light the way and a grisly sight awaits her. The personnel of The Raft have been slaughtered and hung from the ceiling and walls. Blood coats the floor. Carol notes that they’ve been pinned to the walls with bent metal bars, indicating that whoever did this was superhumanly strong.
 After a moment, she hears the faint sound of a voice among the carnage. She finds one SHIELD agent who is still alive. The man is disoriented and keeps asking what he did and asking why. Carol gets him down and asks what happened. The man isn’t making total sense and says he “… why did it come for us?” Ms. Marvel asks him what it was that came for them and suggests that it was one of the prisoners. The agent reveals that it was a Skrull. Carol looks around and thinks the whole thing through. The Skrulls are ruthless killers but what was done here looks purposeful, almost ritualistic. The agent is gripped by the horrors he’s endured and grabs hold of Ms. Marvel. He tells her that she doesn’t understand. “The other Skrulls were scared of it!” he screams.

Secret Invasion – The Battle of Manhattan – Conclusion
Ms. Marvel strides into the Raft facility, passing the hanging bodies of SHIELD agents ritually mutilated by Skrulls. A SHIELD agent runs past her, his face twisted with horror. She thought the Raft would be a safe place to bring the humans she rescued from the attack on Manhattan. She was wrong… very wrong.
 She hears a distant scream and heads towards it. In a devastated control room, she finds the super-villain Tiger Shark about to be killed by a large Super-Skrull. She knows in an instant that this is the Super-Skrull that the SHIELD agent mentioned, a unique Skrull that even the other Super-Skrulls feared. For a brief moment, Carol considers letting this Skrull finish Tiger Shark off, given his vicious history as a villain. But she decides that whatever else Tiger Shark might be, he’s still essentially human and she refuses to let the Skrulls take another human life. She drops down into the room, ablaze with energy. She lands deftly between the Skrull and Tiger Shark. The Skrull reacts quickly and slams Ms. Marvel into a wall with a single, mighty blow. Tiger Shark makes a break for it.
Carol recovers quickly and is on her feet. She comments on how quick this Skrull is and then watches in amazement as it changes powers and form. She describes it as “ripples” of both form and power as it searches for the power set to best fight her. In moments, it cycles through the powers of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Magneto, Iceman and others. It settles into a new form and attacks.
 Carol realizes that this Skrull is different and can “dial up” superpowers as needed. She ducks his first energy attack and kicks him hard. He careens into a bank of computers and is buried under some rubble. Ms. Marvel acknowledges that he’s a “bigger, badder” version of the Super-Skrulls she just fought in New York City and adds “I bet you die just as well as they do.”
 She lands a solid kick on him but he turns into sand and reforms before her. He strikes with the Invisible Woman’s force field and again his form ripples as it accesses a new power. This time, he lashes out with Iceman’s power and freezes everything around Carol, including the air itself. Her throat and lungs fill with ice as she’s encased in cold.
The monstrous Skrull doesn’t halt his attack even as Ms. Marvel is close to beaten. He punches her frozen form, freeing her. As he shifts to Black Bolt’s sonic powers, Carol realizes that her only hope lies in using this Skrull’s almost animalistic blood lust against it. She feels his sonic attack rattle her to the core but has no chance to act.
 He shifts to Cannonball’s blast powers and drives her through the ceiling and into the air above the Raft. She is still choking on ice and trying to think of a way to fight this thing that even the other Skrulls feared. She tries accessing her Binary powers, but they won’t activate. They do manage to melt the ice that was still threatening to choke her to death.
 She immediately lays into the creature, going for its eyes as she screams “You are not going to kill me! I will not die today!” She tells it that she knows it will just grow back the eyes she is gouging from its head but that it still feels good. The Skrull flies wildly through the city, crashing through building after building in its blind rage. It hits the ground and continues, driving Ms. Marvel’s deep underground without breaking its pace. They tunnel all the way through a subway tunnel and then out into the Hudson River.
Carol manages to break free from its grasp as they hit the water and flies up and out. The Skrull switches once more to Iceman’s powers and pursues her on an iceslide. She flies as fast as she can but the Skrull is hot on her tail. She leads it to a raging battle in the city, hoping that she can use the fear the other Super-Skrulls hold for this one to her advantage.
As she nears the battleground, the Skrulls rise up to attack her. She tells them she needs their help. Before she can complete her sentence, the monster Skrull barrels into the crowd of Super-Skrulls and sends them flying in all directions like bowling pins. It howls with rage and starts to attack the Super-Skrulls, literally ripping them into shreds. It launches an optic blast into the sky, pulverizing the Super-Skrulls that had taken to the air. Seeing this carnage, Ms. Marvel wonders what they did to this one to make it so savage and enraged.
Carol watches from on high as the Skrull creature loses itself in the rage of battle. It “ripples” through powers sets even faster as it wades effortlessly through the swarm of Super-Skrulls. It manifests Iceman’s power in one instant, the Hulk’s in the next before breathing fire from its mouth in a single devastating attack. Carol notes that it is not a warrior, merely rage personified. It fights like a rabid animal without thought, training or discipline.
 It unleashes a massive attack and then collapses to its knees, trembling. Ms. Marvel lands several feet from it and says “You don’t look so good.” As it rises, it says something in the Skrull tongue before gathering its strength and charging at Carol. Though Carol is tired from hours of fighting, the Skrull monster is exhausted. She easily sidesteps his blow and looks down at it. “All tapped out?” she asks before blasting it with the most powerful blast of energy she can summon.  It finally falls and doesn’t get up.
 She waits for two minutes before approaching it. As she examines its body, she discovers a small marking on its neck. It reads “Hydra Prime 001.” Ms. Marvel wonders what the hell Hydra has to do with this creature and the Skrull invasion. She checks the other Super-Skrulls bodies but finds no others with this marking. She concludes that the whole world has gone insane and asks what she’s going to do about. “I’m going to fix it” she decides.
Hong Kong - Several months later…
At a luxurious party, a man and woman flirt. He says to her that she seems familiar. The woman groans and says that she gets this question all the time. The man asks what she means and the woman assures him that “I’m not her. She’s in New York, I’m a securities trader here in Hong Kong.” The man says he thought maybe she was and again the lovely blonde says “No, I promise. I’m not Ms. Marvel.” The man smiles across his glass of champagne and tells her that she’d pull the costume off nicely. The woman smiles and tells him he’s a funny one before introducing herself as Catherine Donovan.
He kisses her hand gallantly and she replies “My, you are so forward, Ghazi.” The man is taken aback and tells her that she is mistaken and has him confused with someone else. The woman says “Ghazi means conqueror, yes? Such a strong name.” She then switches to Arabic and adds “For such a weak and foolish man.” Ghazi is shocked that she speaks Arabic and says so. “Catherine” tells him that she learned it since they last met. She asks if he remembers her, considering how hard he tried to kill her back then. She adds “I thought I had killed you.” Ghazi turns and asks where his bodyguards are but “Catherine” catches him by the wrist and shushes him. She tells him “You’re going to behave yourself or this time I will kill you.” She charges him, spilling his champagne as she grabs him by the throat. She powers up her fist with energy and tells him she’d hate to do that until she’s learned what she needs to know. She says “Tell me everything about Ascension!”
