the Black Vortex – chapter 11
Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel muses how some of her friends – Gamora, Beast and young Angel – were tempted by the Black Vortex and changed into cosmically powered versions of themselves, who now also have magnified weaknesses. The Viscardi learned that the hard way. Their only survivor, Gara, means to destroy the Black Vortex before another world meets the same fate.
Good idea, bad timing. Right now the entire planet Spartax is encased in amber. Kitty Pryde has a plan to save everybody, a plan that requires the Vortex. So Carol now only has to transport the Vortex from the middle of a battle in space to Spartax. Easier said than done, when Delphinia’s arrow hits her in the back.
Carol lets go of the Black Vortex and sees Thane chasing after it. He submitted to the Vortex already and yet he chases after it, like he needs another go. She throws a rock at him to divert him.
Ebony Maw whispers in Thane’s ear to end her. With pleasure, Thane replies.
Carol recalls he can “amberize” people with his right hand and kill them with his left. But he has to touch people to make that happen. Carol grabs the Vortex and is hit by a wave of amber. She realizes she was wrong. Regular Thane had to touch people. Cosmically powered Thane does not.
Mr. Knife, aka former Spartax emperor J-son, comes flying in to go after the Vortex. It’s on now, Carol decides and gives chase. Does he seriously think he can outrace her in jetboots? she scoffs. When she overtakes him, he presses a button on his suit and orders his flying fortress to intercept. Carol is so busy gloating she only notices the fortress when she flies right into it. She lands hard and lets go of the Vortex.
Did she say something about arrogance? J-son remarks, as he lands far more elegantly. He takes a small globe out of his jacket and suddenly there are several of him. Go on, they are listening. All of them!
They all train their guns on her. Carol ducks behind the Vortex. She realizes she is trapped unless… She looks inside the Vortex and sees the cosmic version of her (reminiscent of her Binary form). This is what she came to space for, she muses, isn’t it? To reach her full potential. And it’s hers for the taking, not just a way out of this jam but a different path entirely. All she has to do is reach out and grab it. All she has to do is submit. Cosmic Carol reaches out for her.
Her hands begin to glow. She knows this feeling, if not exactly then close. Like going Binary, but more so. It hurts when it reaches the heart. There’s a weight to it burning, like everything extra is scorched off. No more doubts, no more fears. All that survives is force and ego. Carol decides that is not who she wants to be. It was never more power she was after.
The different Mr. Knifes tell her she won’t live to regret her choice. Carol puts on her helmet and vows she doesn’t need a power-up to kick his ass. She got some moves. She flies up and her energy blasts destroy the globes the J-sons are holding, leaving only the original with an injured hand. He screams then orders Thane to take the Vortex.
Carol tries to appeal to Thane’s better nature. J-son shouts she is trying to lie to him. Carol continues that J-son has no one’s interests at heart but his own. Who benefitted from the death of Thane’s flock?
Kill her! J-son shouts. Enough! Thane booms.
Ebony Maw suggests he weigh this carefully. Who is worthy of his trust? J-son? Who writes in pain and spews venom, his selfish machinations as evident as those of a child who has been denied his candy… Or Carol? The silly little girl who cannot see that her fouls species isn’t worth saving… The Ebony Maw says neither! Amberize them both and perhaps one will be of use one day.
As he wishes, Thane replies to his invisible friend. Who is he talking to? Carol wonders, then shouts ‘no’ as she gets the idea. She holds the Vortex in front of her. She cannot hide forever, Thane states calmly. He will have the Vortex now. Carol silently figures she should have gone with the Maserati.
That moment, Gara lands. She introduces herself. She comes to spare them from the plague— Thane interrupts and informs her the Vortex is his. With her powers, Gara tosses him away. She turns to Carol to explain things but Carol is already in mid-flight. Gara gives chase.
Carol figures it’s a dumb idea but hopes she can reach Spartax to help Kitty’s plan and help the people of Spartax.

Dark Origins, part 5
Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel thinks to herself that, sometimes, just when you think you know where you're going, the universe finds a way to smack you over the head – with another universe – where up is down, you're a criminal and Thanos is a good guy. She knows that no matter what, though, someone will be threatening you with some version of a blaster – you can count on it. 'Surprise, surprise!' Dr Eve exclaims as she holds two blasters out in front of her, one aimed at Carol, the other ar Lord Starkill. 'Dr Eve?' Carol asks. 'Captain' Dr Eve replies. 'Doctor Dead Lady?' Starkill gasps. 'Idiot' Dr Eve mutters. Inside a small spacejet, Starkill turns to Carol: 'Captain?' he asks, before remarking 'Idiot? That's Lord Idiot Starkill to you' before asking Carol if this creeper is a friend of hers. Carol frowns back at Dr Eve and tells starkill that this woman doesn't make friends, she grows them in her weird, Kree clone-y bake ovens. 'Cool...' Starkill replies, adding that he is pretty sure he star-killed her a few caves ago.
'You what?' Carol asks, turning to Starkill, who rubs his head and tells Carol that, to be fair, he didn't know she and Dr Eve had a thing going on. “A thing?” Carol quotes, rolling her eyes. 'If you think running into your Mad-Doctor nemesis after escaping your Good-Guy-Thanos nemesis is “a thing”!' she mutters, to which Starkill exclaims 'Whoa, whoa, whoa...hold on there. Just how many nemesis-es...how many of us...do you have?' Starkill asks. 'Seriously?' Carol replies. 'I'm just saying, it's rude. No. It's offensive' Starkill declares. 'We're gonna do this now?' Carol asks, as Dr Eve looks from one to the other and back again. 'Er, hello?' she calls out. 'A person thinks he has...one...only to find out he's being stockpiled? What, was there some kinda sale at Nemesee...' Starkill begins. '... sai...' Carol corrects him. '... sesses...'R Us?' Starkill continues, to which an annoyed Dr Eve shouts 'Captain?! Idiot?! Enough!'
Carol asks Starkill if he notices how the doctor here doesn't call her “Corporal” like he and the Zetas do. 'A dead lady is talking and you think the stuff she's saying is the weird thing?' Starkill asks. 'She's not dead! She's also not from this universe' Carol declares. 'Very true, Captain' Dr Eve replies as she holds the weapons towards Carol and Starkill, and announces that she has come all the way from Carol's solar system. 'And dragged me along for the ride' Carol frowns. 'Yes, for a purpose' Dr Eve claims, before smiling and asking Carol to give it to her – the Reality Stone – or else her friend will suffer. 'It can't be!' Carol gasps. 'Whoa!' Starkill exclaims, as the ghostly form of Bean appears behind Dr Eve. 'Carol' Bean calls out. 'It can talk?' Starkill shouts. 'Bean? That you, kiddo?' Carol asks, before turning back to Dr Eve and asking her what she has done.
Dr Eve remains silent, so Starkill smiles at her: 'Listen – Dr Bean, was it? - yeah, been great seeing you again. Sorry about that whole... shooting you...thing. It's just the job I've got sort of a work-life balance thing, yanno...' Starkill babbles, before Dr Eve frowns and shoots him at close range, reducing him to a drooling mess as he collapses on the floor. 'Enough' Dr Eve exclaims, as she aims her weapons at Carol. 'Look, I'll take my frenemy here and go. Just give me Bean. What do you want with one Hala kid, anyway?' Carol asks. 'Good question. Now come with me if you want her to live' Dr Eve replies.
Outside of the jet now, on space deck, Carol reaches out to Bean's ghostly form who floats alongside her as she follows Dr Eve who informs Carol that the Hala child can't feel her and that she can't stop or even sway her, as she is the future of Hala now. Carol looks unimpressed as she shouts 'Listen up, Doc Crackpot – whatever you've done, whatever you're up to? I will stop you'. Dr Eve glances sideways and bursts into hysterical laughter. 'What's so funny?' Carol frowns. 'You, Captain...' Dr Eve remarks. 'Stranded in this alien reality... with no friends... no team... no real hope... yet somehow still barking useless heroic platitudes' Dr Eve declares. 'Where I come from, those are just called threats' Carol retorts. Dr Eve turns back to Carol and points out that she may have been born human, but that she is a true Kree warrior, every cell in her body shouts it. Dr Eve sighs as she thinks of the armies she could have built from her. 'Yeah. Bummer' Carol mutters. 'That'll be our cue...' Dr Eve remarks as there is a loud booming noise behind them.
Just then, Zeta Flight members Sasquatch, Eugene Judd and Wendy Kawasaki, along with Draxx, Rockette and Root from the Ravagers, Starkill's team, burst into the corridor. 'What the flark was that? You trying to blow up the ship or something?' Rockette asks. 'I am Root' the large carrot-like alien replies. 'Again?' Rockette asks, before she sees Lord Starkill on the ground, and asks him what happened to him. Sasquatch and Eugene help him up, and he tells them that he got jumped – ten guys – big ones – real hooligans. 'J-j-j-jumped?' Eugene asks, nervously. 'How big?' Sasquatch enquires. 'Huge' Starkill tells him. 'I mean... by human standards. Right, Danvers? Danvers?' Starkill calls out, only to find that Carol is gone as Draxx tells him there is no use yelling, as the Corporal is not here. 'Well, where they hell is she?' Starkill asks. 'Clearly she fled with the ten large hooligans' Draxx points out. '... or with that moonship that just blew past us' Wendy suggests. 'Follow that ship!' Starkill exclaims as they board the small jet and take off after the moonship.
Inside the moonship, Bean hovers next to Dr Eve, who asks Carol for the stone. 'No way. Not until you let Bean go...bust her out of whatever this crazy shadow state is...' Carol replies. Dr Eve announces that she can't do that, as after Starkill shot her, and completely obliterated her brand-new mim unit, she had no choice but to link the Hala child's life force to hers. 'WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?' Carol shouts. 'An unfortunate complication. Or a lucky one. Depending on whom you ask' Dr Eve replies. Carol narrows her eyes and looks furious as she asks 'You're using the kid as a freaking horcrux?' to which Dr Eve tells Carol to calm herself, as she and the Hala child will be reunited soon enough, and adds that there is much more to the story than Carol thinks.
Flashback images:Years ago, Dr Eve served as a medical officer in the Kree military, although young, she was what one might call a visionary, as thousands of years of war, particularly against the Skrulls, had weakened their once great empire – and even when battles were won, their losses were devastating. Dr Eve knew she had to do something to restore Hala to her former glory, and knew her work could make a difference. She holed away in her lab, experimenting and working on Kree and Skrulls alike, and by splicing Kree DNA with cellular matter from other life-forms, she soon found a way to regenerate fallen Kree soldiers into endless combat resources – a breakthrough that she knew could turn the tide for the Kree empire. Her metamorphs were successful, even if her subjects were not their former selves – to her, they were much more. But, not everyone flet as Dr Eve did, and her commanding officers saw the Mim units as abominations and they terminated her research – but she escaped with a single Mim, and together, they spent what seemed like an eternity in exile – until the unthinkable happened, and Hala was destroyed.
The cause of the destruction was Earth and her “heroes” meddling with forces beyond their comprehension, and it was then that Dr Eve knew she had to return to her work – for if they had been armed with her Mim army, then the Kree would not have fallen. So, upon Earth, she focussed her efforts on perfecting her work, conquering Carol's Earth, as Carol, with her unique genetic makeup, made her the perfect subject. But, Dr Eve's plans were ruined by Captain Marvel, but not before she learned the true nature of the Hala child that Carol calls “Bean”. Dr Eve had long suspected that Carol was the key to unlocking Hala's potential – only she was wrong – it was the child – the girl had become the multiform, and within her lay the power of Hala, throughout all time and dimension. Eve tracked the Hala child across the cosmos until she found her at the remnants of their hold homeworld – something had callled her there, something Dr Eve thought she would never see again – the Supreme Intelligence, now resurrected!
Present:Dr Eve grins as she tells declares that the appearance of the multiform, the resurrection of the Supreme Intelligence and Captain Marvel herself, are not a coincidence, but signs of the return of their Kree destiny – a destiny that she will never betray again. Carol looks shocked: 'Let me get this straight – you think you're some sort of pink-skinned Kree messiah?' she asks. 'So you've kidnapped Bean – and now me – to use us to jumpstart the Kree Second Coming?' Carol asks. Dr Eve tells her that she is not entirely wrong – but wrong enough. 'So here's what's gonna happen – you pull this ship over and undo the whammy you put on Bean... and in return, the kid and I take off before anyone gets hurt, deal?' Carol declares. Dr Eve grins and turns to Bean, calling her “Little One” and remarking 'Your captain is nearly as stubborn as you'. Carol asks Dr Eve if she is talking to Bean, and what is going on.
There is a beeping noise, and Dr Eve announces that they are on approach, and excuses herself, as she has some last-minute preparations. 'Preparations for what?' Carol asks. 'Tell her, little one' Dr Eve remarks. Bean turns to Carol and tells her that she is sorry for the deception, but that it ewas necessary. 'I knew you'd come if I called for your help, and I do need it. If our people are to fulfill our destiny, you too must join us'. Wide-eyed, Carol looks at Bean and asks her what she is talking about, as there is no destiny, Eve is a cuckoo bird. 'Then a cuckoo bird is Hala's last hope, and you and I must help a cuckoo bird save our people' Bean replies, touching Carol's face.
Inside the other jet: 'What's the word on the Corporal, Puck?' Starkill asks. 'For the last time, it's Eugene' Eugene retorts as he pilots the jet. Starkill ignores him and asks if there is any news on that not-dead-enough doc, the one who looted their loot. Eugene reports that he has found the ship's energy signature, but they are keeping to an irregular flight path, scrambling their own signals. 'I can't give you much more than a guess' Eugene adds. 'I don't want a guess... I want my loot back!' Starkill exclaims. Eugene looks at Starkill out the corner of his eye and tells him that he should stop being ridiculous and let him update this Grampasaurus Rex of a system. 'I am Root' Root calls out as he and Rockette appear behind Starkill. Rockette agrees with Root that Gramps 2.0 is just fine the way he is. 'Wanna see real sweat? This pirate on Tarkon 5 told me they're using system updates to track ships. Not worth the risk' Rockette remarks as she eats a sandwich. 'Don't remember seeing you sweating it out at any keyboards, Sandwich Face' Eugue remarks. 'Conspiracy theories aside...this system is impossible to -' Eugene begins, before there is a bleeping sound, and he reports that they have finally gotten a reading. 'There!' he exclaims. 'I am Root?' Root asks, surprised. 'There?' Eugene remarks, confused. 'There?' Starkill asks, narrowing his eyes. 'There?' Rockette adds, munching on the sandwich.
Carol asks Bean to tell her what is going on between her and Dr Eve. 'This isn't you!' Carol exclaims on the other ship. Bean tells Carol that she is wrong. 'This is who I am meant to be. My destiny. I have seen it. In my energy form, I encountered the Supreme Intelligence. Bean continues, informing Carol that standing before the Supreme Intelligence, she felt the hearts of all Hala's children aligned as one – she felt unfinished, and that their story is not over. 'If you had been there, you would have felt it too' Bean adds. “It?” Carol asks. Bean declares that she can restore Hala, that she can be a hero for her people – just like Carol. Bean looks at the window of the moonship and Carol tells her that she can't bring back a planet – that's not how it works, no matter what Eve or some supreme genius thing has told her – she is not rebuilding Hala, not even if that's what she has told herself.
'You are right' Bean replies. Rebuilding a planet is nearly impossible. But what if – with the Reality Stone – we could move one?' Bean asks. 'Move a planet? Kiddo, what are you saying? You can't just -' Carol exclaims, wide-eyed, as Bean tells her to look. 'We are home' Bean announces, as the moonship moves towards a large, dark planet. 'Wait, is that...?' Carol begins. 'Hala, yes. Not the Hala of our dimension, but the Hala of this one' Bean explains. 'And you're gonna, what? Just open up a hole in reality and try to shove a whole planet in our dimension? I hate to break it to you, kid, but no rock is that powerful...and even if it were, it's still a big no. There are consequences to things like this you've got to st-' Carol tells Bean, when suddenly, there is a loud BOOM. 'What was that?' Carol asks. Dr Eve turns to her and declares that they are under fire, that it looks like Carol's friends have found them.
'Thieves and pirates? They cannot keep Hala from rising. It is our destiny!' Dr Eve shouts, wide-eyed, as the other ship continues to open fire on Dr Eve's ship. Dr Eve tells bean to prepare herself, and that she knows what she must do. 'Our time is at hand. Hala will bend every universe to her will' Dr Eve declares. 'I know what I must do. Hala will rise again' Bean tells Carol, who replies 'bean, stop it! You can stop this!' Carol asks Bean not to give up on her, to trust her, just like she used to. 'It's not too late, you don't have to do this -' Carol begins, but Bean suddenly reaches into Carol, 'You trust me...' Bean utters. Bean tells Carol that by any name, with all its power, the Gaia Stone – the Reality Stone – will serve as the savior for their people. 'We will rise to greet the all universe in all time, in all place... we rise because we can. Because we must.'
Bean takes over Carol's form and flies out into space, holding the Reality Stone, she releases energies towards Hala – and as the energies touch the planet, the other children of Hala rise. 'Bean. Stop this! We can stop this! People are going to get hurt!' Carol calls out, but Bean tells her that there is no pain here, they are becoming part of Hala's future. 'Can't you feel it?' she asks. Inside the jet, Dr Eve calls out to Bean and tells her that she must ascend. Energy continues to rise from the Reality Stone in Carol's hand. Carol tells Bean that she feels so strange and asks her what is happening. 'We are ascending. Now we rise to meet our destiny' Bean replies as the energy grows  and radiates around Catol. 'Oh... wow' Carol gasps as she watches. An infinity sign appears in Carol's eyes, and Bean tells her that this is eternity, this is everything. 'Can you see it? Can you feel it?' she asks. Carol tells Bean that she can. 'Beautiful' Carol and Bean utter in unison.
But suddenly, voices can be heard calling out: 'No, no, no -'. ''Help – someone help!', 'Mommy! Mommy!' another exclaims. 'What's happening?' Bean asks. Carol tells Bean to look out with her mind, that it is the children, they are terrified. 'What have I done?' Bean asks. Carol tells her that they can still stop this – together – and more energy starts to flow from Carol and Bean, whose forms are separated. 'No! What are you doing? Stop! You're ruining everything!' De Eve shouts from inside the jet.
Carol and Bean land on a space deck, and Bean tells Carol that she is sorry, that she was so confused. Bean tells Carol that it is all right, that she thought she was helping. 'We survived. And look – not a Zeta in sight. We're back!' Carol points out. She looks around at her surroundings and realizes that they are back on the Alpha Flight Space Station, and supposes that they rebuilt when she was out 'Why ya acting so weird, Danvers? How many times do I have to tell you!? I  am not your freaking nem... neme... nema...' Star-Lord begins. Carol looks over to Star-Lord, and remembers how she was called Corporal in the alternate  reality. 'Does that mean... while I was gone... over here...' she begins, before throwing her arms around Star-Lord and telling him that he is not just her nemesis, but her fave nemesis. 'Huh?' Star-Lord asks, confused. 'Well. Top ten' Carol smiles as she hugs him, and Bean hugs her.
Sasquatch, Puck and Wendy Kawasaki approach Captain Marvel, and Puck announces that he has located the largest depositories of gold bullion as she asked, and Wendy tells Carol that she doesn't understand why she needed her to track all these armored car routes. 'Has Danvers lost her mind? What was that?' Star-Lord asks. Rocket is eating a carrot and tells Star-Lord not to deny that he liked it. 'I wouldn't say -' Star-Lord begins. 'Oh, yeah. You loved it' Rocket declares. 'Squatch! Wen! Euge-' Carol calls out as she wraps her arms around Puck, 'Don't. Even. Think. About. It' Puck warns her Carol as she starts to use his true name. 'Never again, Alphas...you have no idea how good it feels to see you...and to be home' Carol declares, while holding the Reality Stone and hoping that her “evil self” didn't ruin everything.

Dark Origins, part 1
Columbia University, the temporary home of Alpha Flight, where in a cafeteria, Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel has gathered with the remaining members of her core crew – Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch, Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck, Lt Commander Abigail Brand, Lieutenant Wendy Kawasaki, Hopper, and the Alpha Cadets – Dante Cruz, A'Di and Glory. They sit on chairs or lean against the tables as the observe a projection of the Black Panther, who tells Carol 'As you may agree, recent events have reaffirmed the need for a planetary defense force... though the destruction of AFSS clearly creates a new obstacle...'. 'I take it rogers couldn't make it to this little Board meeting?' Carol snaps. The Black Panther tells Carol that he understands she is upset, to which Carol asks 'Why wouldn't I be upset? Why would any of us be upset? We just need to change our name from Alpha Flight to Earth -' she begins.
'Earth Fright? Beta Blight? Zeta...' Brand begins, but Judd tells her that she has to give up on the jokes thing. 'They just come out' Brand claims. Wendy tells Judd to leave her alone, that she is PTSD-ing. 'We all are' Hopper remarks. 'At least you guys got to really be Alpha Flight. We were Alpha Cadets for like -' A'di begins, with Chewie the Flerken cat perched on her shoulder. 'Give minutes' Dante exclaims, and Glory sighs. The Black Panther tells A'di that he knows she is disappointed. A'Di addresses him as her uncle and tells him that she still has so much to learn, but the Black Panther assures her that her path is yet ahead, that she is still Alpha Flight – perhaps she always will be. 'We were good, Uncle. I was good. You would have been proud' A'Di tells him, to which he tells her that he is.
'However, given that the space station was completely obliterated...' Black Panther begins. 'I'd go with pulverized' Dante suggests, and Glory adds that they like to say “space granola”. The Black Panther reports that it will be some time before they are in a position to reinstate the Alpha Flight program. Carol folds her arms and remembers the promise she made to Bean – to find her. She knows that she can't let her down, and asks T'Challa what that means – are they fired? She tells him that she has to get back up there. Everyone looks at Carol as the Black Panther tells her that she is not fired, and to think of this as a furlough, or a vacation even. 'Okaaaay' Carol replies. The Black Panther reminds everyone that there are still debriefs and after action assessments, so he expects them to all remain available.
The heroes leave and walk down some steps as Carol tells her team 'You realize they basically just sacked us, right?' to which Brand asks her what she expected – no ship, no station, no Alpha Flight. Carol tells her that she didn't know, and tells everyone that she is sorry. 'Sorry?' Sasquatch asks. Puck asks Cap if she wasn't listening back there, and points out that they just got a paid vacation after that rough Chitauri run – so some R&R doesn't sound half bad. Brand remarks that their station has been more or less eviscerated twice, and that she, for one, is looking forward to a month at the spa. Carol, Sasquatch and Puck burst into laughter. 'What? I enjoy a spa day just as much as the next alien girl' Brand exclaims. 'Now that one's actually funny, Lieutenant' Puck tells her.
Brand folds her arms as Hopper and the Cadets burst into laughter as well, and Carol tells her to have fun at her spa. 'I will. When I'm not letting fish eat the dead skin off my feet...' Brand adds. Carol starts to fly up above her team. 'If you need Hop and me, we'll be -' Wendy begins, but Hopper tells Carol just to not need them. Puck and Sasquatch start to walk away, and Puck tells Cap that if she needs them, they will be in the all-you-can-eat bleachers above right field. 'Copy that. You guys take a break and... do whatever civilians do' Carol calls back as she flies higher, Chewie clinging to her shoulder. She thinks to herself that she is going to sleep for a week, but then wonders who she is kidding, as she has never had a vacation, unless you count hospital stays, and deep-space travel, so she is not going to start now. Carol decides that there has to be a reason Bean's energy form appeared to her, and knows that she has to find her.
Later that night at Project Pegasus, 'Jonesy!' a female security guard calls out as a male officer approaches her. 'Hello, that's me...' Jonesy replies before passing through some doors, and as he does, he takes on the appearance of that female officer. '...and now I'm you' she smiles to herself. A handsome guard waves at the female guard who approaches him and calls her Espinosa. 'Evening, fellow guard' “Espinosa” replies, before taking the handsome guard's appearance and continuing on past him into a restricted area. 'That's better' the shapeshifter remarks, stretching. The shapeshifter, still posing as the handsome guard, goes into a large room, and places a box on a podium in the center of the room. He opens the box and a pink light flows from it. 'Look at that. Just what the doctor ordered...' the shapeshifter grins.
At Jessica Drew's apartment, Carol is still sleeping on the floor of Jessica's kid's room. Chewie is wrapped around Carol's face, snoring. 'Carol!' a voice calls out. 'carol! Wake up, Carol!' the voice utters. 'Huh?' Carol responds as she opens her eyes. 'CAAAARRRROOOOLLLL!' the voice screams, and a blue light fills the room, and Carol looks up, to see a blue-skinned, glowing girl, roughly in her teens, hovering over her. 'Bean? Is that you?' Carol asks. 'Yes, Carol. Bean energy form' the Hala child responds. Carol tells Bean that she looks different, and Bean replies that she feels different, and believes that she is different. 'But I just saw you days ago. This makes no sense' Carol points out. 'The sense that it makes is in fact nonsensical' Bean points out. Bean sits on Carol's mattress on the floor and Carol asks her why her energy form changed, and what is happening. Bean tells her that she doesn't know, but that she believes something is quite wrong. 'hold up. What's with speaking in complete sentences?' Carol asks.
'That isn't the strangest thing' Bean replies. Carol frowns and tells Bean that she is an energy imprint from another planet with a transmuted form visiting her in a spider-baby's bedroom, so “strangest” is kind of a high bar. Bean informs Carol that something is speaking to her, she believes across space and time. 'What?' Carol asks. 'Not what. Who' Bean replies. 'That was gonna be my next question' Carol remarks. Bean explains that she believes it is someone not Kree. Carol asks her if she could be a little more specific. 'Something wrong...and something dark but familiar' Bean replies, hanging her head and closing her eyes. Bean suddenly begins to fade away, but tells Carol that there is a dimensional darkness surrounding her, and she thinks it is growing. 'WHAT?' Carol calls out, reaching up to Bean, who tells Carol that she is in danger, she feels it. 'BEAN!' Carol shouts. 'I don't believe this' Carol mutters as Bean vanishes. Carol tells Bean to hang tight, and that she is coming for her.
The next day, within the NASA space center at Columbia University, Carol thanks her team for coming back in, and tells them that she hopes she wasn’t interrupting. 'My chakras will now never be aligned, but whatever' Brand remarks. Puck and Sasquatch are wearing baseball caps, as Puck reports that stadium security was going to kick them out anyway. 'Forty-seven hot dogs...forty-eight?' Sasquatch asks, soda in hand. Puck adds that they didn't even make it to the seventh inning stretch. 'Look at you two cute little lovebirds' A'Di smiles at Wendy and Hopper, who are holding hands as Wendy asks Carol what they are doing here. Carol informs everyone that she had a visitor last night – a blue one. 'Bean?' Wendy asks. 'Still in her energy state?' Hopper enquires. Carol reports that it was the same energy, but a new form and that something was affecting her, and she said that she wasn't alone. 'The kid was pretty freaked out' Carol adds. 'A Kree energy being? Here?' Glory asks. Carol explains that she vanished as quickly as she came.
Carol tells her team that she is thinking that it is time thry brought their Jellybean home. 'No argument here' Puck agrees, before the team gets to work within the NASA facility. Sasquatch announces that he will scan for energy signatures, and Hopper tells him that they need to look for HLA signatures, as Bean is a Hala child. Carol declares that the heat those kids throw off isn't like anything else in the galaxy, before asking the Cadets if thy can  rig some of this NASA hardware to do just that. 'I can' A'Di and Glory announce in unison. 'Great' Carol tells them, before informing Wendy that the NASA folks will make sure the Alpha Flight geniuses get everything they need. She then turns to Brand, Dante and Puck and tells them that they are going to work on getting the team off the ground.
Soon, Carol pushes open a large set of doors to a hangar bay. 'Cap, I know I'm a good engineer, but you can't be serious!' Judd exclaims. 'As a heart attack, Puck. And I need this thing airborn yesterday...' Carol tells him as they all look up at a large space shuttle. 'She doesn't have to take us to a galaxy far, far away, but she's gonna get us where we need to go' Carol declares. 'No problem... as long as you're a Jedi who can make things fly with your mind' Puck points out. 'Puck' Carol exclaims. Puck assures Carol that he will give it a shot, before asking Dante if he is ready to get his hands dirty. Dante tells him that this is much better than getting stuck back in some class again. Brand tells Carol that she hates her for pulling her out of the spa to make her play grease monkey. 'You gotta realize there's some part of me that can't believe we're having this conversation' Carol replies. 'But I know how much that kid means to you, so... we'll get this thing running' Brand assures Carol, who calls her Abigail and thanks her.
That night, a strange space ship lands on a rooftop at Columbia University, 'Yes, Doctor. I've just arrived...it won't be long now' the shapeshifter announces, emerging from the craft and making her way to a rooftop access door, she quickly switches her form into that of the handsome guard from Project Pegasus, now wearing a lab coat, marches down a corridor and announces 'I will not fail you'. He enters the room where Alpha Flight are working, 'Good evening' he smiles at Wendy, who asks if she can help him, adding that this is lab is restricted to Alpha Flight personnel only. 'It was. Now it's even more restricted than that the shapeshifter declares as he pushes past Wendy, announcing that he is here to shut them down and confiscate all ongoing projects. 'Huh? Just yesterday we were given anything we need to conduct our research!' Wendy protects. 'We're in the middle of -' Hopper begins, to which the shapeshifter interrupts: '- walking out the door? Good, because you can leave... or you can be made to leave!' he exclaims.
Hopper, Wendy, Glory and A'Di move towards the shapeshifter, and Hopper tells him that he can't just barge in here and shut them down. Wendy adds that they are not turning over their work. 'Not with no explanation' A'Di adds, and Glory declares that they know their rights. 'Have it your way, then' the shapeshifter remarks, before leaping towards the group and kicking Hopper across the room, sending him crashing into a table. 'HOP!' Wendy calls out to her boyfriend, rushing over to him. The shapeshifter reports that this lab is on lockdown until he gets what he came for. Glory protests that they haven't done anything wrong, and Sasquatch suggests to the shapeshifter that he calm down. 'Calm down? I don't think so...so how about I take what I need and be on my way?' he replies, shifting to his earlier armored form and looking at a series of small vials on a table, one of them labeled “C. Danvers”. 'Uh, Cap? Crap!' Wendy exclaims.
'We've got a situation here, Captain!' Wendy's voice is heard over the communicator that all of the team uses. 'What's the deal, Wen?' Carol asks, touching her earpiece. 'Well...that shapeshifter?' Wendy responds. 'Mim?' Carol asks. 'Yes, Sir. Only note quite as dead as we thought. And...it kinda found us' Wendy explains as she holds onto Hopper, while Glory fires blasts from her cybernetic legs at Mim, who blocks them. Carol flies out of the hangar without saying anything to Brand or Judd, who watch her go. 'Puck, you heard Wendy on the radio. If Mim is back, it's no coincidence' Carol radios back to Puck, who agrees. Carol instructs him to focus on getting that ship in the air ASAP, as she has a feeling they are going to need it. 'I hate that feeling' Judd replies.
Sasquatch takes a swipe at Mim, but she dodges him, and another, but he misses again. 'OOOFFFF!' Sasquatch moans as Mim slams a fist into Sasquatch's stomach, causing him to keel over, and enabling her to leap onto a table, sliding across it, she grabs the vial labelled “C. Danvers” then leaps through a window, the glass shatters around her, and with that, Mim vanishes. 'Nothing about this is good' Hopper points out as Wendy helps him stand up. 'Not for the Captain. Not for anyone' Hopper adds.
Up on the rooftop, Mim runs back to the space ship, and entering, Dr Eve is waiting for her. 'Did you get it?' Dr Eve asks. 'Did you think I wouldn’t, Dr Eve?' Mim replies, handing the madwoman the vial. Dr Eve smirks and tells Mim that she did excellent work, before instructing her to get them out of here, as they have to hurry before the singularity ends. Carol arrives outside the space ship and hovers nearby, informing Wendy that she is here, and asks if everyone is okay. Wendy reports that Hop and Sasquatch took the worst of it, but that she thinks they will be okay. Wendy then informs Carol that it looks like the shapeshifter took her blood. 'My blood? Why? What is she up to?' Carol wonders. 'Copy that' Carol tells Wendy. 'No worries' she adds, before she takes off after the spacecraft and reports that she is in pursuit.
Carol fires a blast of energy at the spacecraft, which fires back at her. Carol tells herself that she doesn't know how Mim survived that explosion, but vows that she is not getting away this time. Dr Eve looks at a computer and exclaims 'There, Mim. There it is' and tells her thst she has to get them closer before she can activate the generator. 'I understand, Dr Eve' Mim replies as she stands in a doorway. Carol continues her pursuit, and contacts Puck, asking him how that shuttle is looking, as she could use some backup here. An instant later, the shuttle blasts up behind Carol. 'I told you we'd get her airborn, Danvers' Brand smiles. Judd adds that it wasn't easy as this thing is ancient. Carol glances back at the shuttle and tells her team that she doesn't care how old she is as long as she came to the party. Judd adds that she may not be fast, but that she has still got a few tricks, and the shuttle opens fire, blasting at the spacecraft.
Inside the craft, Dr Eve tells Mim to hold steady, and announces that it is time. The spacecraft begins to glow, and energy radiates from it. 'Puck! Get out of there!' Carol shouts, wide-eyed. The energy radiates further and displays spectacularly in the deepness of space. When the glow subsides, Judd, Brand and Dante look out the window of the space shuttle. Judd asks if everyone is all right, while Brand remarks that she was sure they were charging some kind of weapon. 'Uh...guys...' Dante begins to ask as he looks out into the empty space before him. '...where's Captain Marvel?'

Dark Origins, part 2
Somewhere in the caverns of a faraway planet, two figures make their way through the dark caves – Dr Eve and the shapeshifting Mim. 'We're nearly there, just over that ridge' Dr Eve calls out. 'Just like the last ridge... and the one before that...' Mim mutters. Dr Eve tells her to have patience. 'We'll find it' she declares. Mim reminds Dr Eve that they searched the Negative Zone and the Dark Dimension before that. Dre Eve presses a button on her glove, which depicts a glowing green image, and declares that the energy signature says they are getting there. They arrive at some sort of alter and Dr Eve exclaims 'Imagine! It must be inside that shrine...the Heart of Gaia!' to which Mim asks 'You mean the rock?' Dr Eve tells her it is a relic, and explains that the ancients built this temple to honor the powerful gemstone that hides inside. 'So yeah. The rock' Mim points out, before asking her if the Hala children were the first phase of her plan, what does the rock have to do with the second. 'Everything' Dr Eve grins.
Elsewhere, Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel floats outside of Earth's orbit, she wakes, there is a pain in her head. She recalls that someone laid the whammy on her and wonders how the heck this always happens. She remembers they were searching for Bean, then Mim stole something from the lab, and Puck, Brand and Dante came to back her up in the old NASA shuttle. She looks around and wonders where the shuttle is. Carol remembers mim firing some kind of weapon, then calls out to her team via communicator – but gets no response from any of them. Carol knows that she tried to absorb the blast, but obviously wasn't fast enough and got knocked out. 'Still, if anything happened to the others...' she begins, before telling herself not think like that, as even those old shuttles are built like tanks, so the crew probably took the hit and fell back to Earth.
Carol flies back down towards the Earth, but she doesn't get far: 'What... the... what?' she gasps as she sees a reflection of herself. Carol tells herself that implies a reflective surface, cloaking something, and touches the air before her, which ripples – then gives way to a large floating space station. '...Alpha Flight?' Carol gasps. She thought T'Challa said they were behind on rebuilding the Alpha Flight Space Station. Suddenly, a voice announces 'Zeta Flight emergency protocols triggered!' Carol thinks to herself 'Zeta Flight, very funny'. The voice then announces that there is a perimeter breach. 'Invader, you are trespassing...' to which Carol calls back 'I'm the commander of this space station... and I've saved the Earth more times than I can count, so how about you open the air lock before I open it for you!'
The voice then states 'Corporal Carol Danvers, identity confirmed. Access granted'. Carol remarks that the title isn't right, but thanks the officer for letting her in. The air lock then slides open and Carol steps into the hangar bay. She decides that she can't blame T'Challa for not telling her it was up and running – considering she has blown up two of these things already. Glancing around the hangar, Carol sees that there is still some unpacking to do, but decides that the place looks great. 'Hello? Anybody home?' Carol calls out, but gets no response. She realizes that it is strange that the entire station is empty, and wonders where everyone is, as the AFSS' core systems need round-the-clock supervision – so someone has to be manning this thing.
Carol walks through the corridors of the AFSS, 'Olly olly oxen free!' Carol calls out, but there is no response. 'Where the heck is my crew?' Carol gasps as she walks onto the bridge and find Sasquatch, Puck and Wendy Kawasaki. Only Sasquatch has a bald head...and Puck has a full head of hair. 'Hiya, boss' Sasquatch calls out. 'Cutting it close again, aren’t you, Corporal?' Puck remarks. 'Excuse me?' Carol replies. Wendy tells her not to mind Eugene. 'You know how he gets before a mission' she adds. 'Hold up... Eugene?' Carol asks, before deciding that Puck must havve borrowed some hair from Sasquatch. 'Pu- Gene, Squatch, Wen... I'm so glad to be back at Alpha Flight' Carol smiles as she walks over to her team. 'Alpha huh?' Sasquatch asks. 'Alpha what?' Puck remarks. 'Forget it' Carol tells them, before asking where Brand and everyone else are. 'You mean Brand the dog? Our mascot?' Wendy replies, before Eugene reports that the others are on their way back to Zeta Flight. 'Seriously? Zeta Flight?' Carol asks.
'Zeta Flight. I.E. Here. I.E where we're standing now' Puck points out. 'Yeah, gonna stick a pin in that one...' Carol remarks, before Sasquatch announces that Parlay is less than an hour, and that there is no way his highness is going to call a truce, not this close to the heist. 'Sure you're ready?' he adds, before asking her what is with her funny space suit. 'She's undercover, Sasquatch. Duh' Puck points out. 'What he said' Carol agrees, when suddenly, there is a loud KA-DOOOM! Which rattles the space station. 'Do you hear th-?' Carol begins. 'What in the world -?' Wendy asks. 'We’ve got a social call' Puck reports. 'Sounds more antisocial to me' Carol jokes.
Shortly, Carol flies out of Zeta Flight Space Station, with Sasquatch, Eugene and Wendy in space jets, flying behind her. 'Um...Eugene, aren't they supposed to be on our side?' Wendy asks. 'They were...' Eugene responds from his jet as they fly towards the several Quinjets nearby. 'How did the bad guys get their hands on a fleet of Quinjets?' Carol enquires. Sasquatch informs her that heist was incredible, when the Widower stole 40 extra-orbital remote Quinjets. 'But you know that, boss. You were there'. Carol doesn't recognize the name “The Widower” and decides that it sounds as if Sasquatch is almost impressed. She tells him to catch her up later, as right now they have to pull off a little something incredible of their own. Carol insructs Zeta Flight that it is time to divide and conquer. 'Roger dodger' Sasquatch replies. 'Aye, aye, Corporal!' Wendy calls out, while Eugene asks 'Now?' and remarks that he hates this part. 'I love this part!' Sasquatch exclaims, and suddenly, Eugene speeds ahead towards the firing Quinjets, while Sasquatch tells him to back up, and points out that those Quinjets are no match for their Zeta fighters.
'Puck! What are you doing?' Carol shouts. 'It's Eugene...' comes the response as he smiles while piloting his jet. 'Respectfully, Eugene...if you don't move it...and start returning fire...you're gonna get us both killed' Carol snaps as she opens fire at several Quinjets which Eugene simply darts past in his jet. 'Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me twice' Eugene mutters. 'Well, technically, Eugene, she did...' Wendy points out. 'Can it, Kawasaki' Eugene replies over the communicators. Sasquatch tells Wendy that she knows Eugene is sensitive about his flying – that he isn't a natural-born pilot like the two of them. Carol slams her fist into one of the Quinjets and thinks 'Wendy a natural pilot? Squatch a feelings talker? Puck afraid to join a fight? Something's not just off... it's way out of whack... and if I had to put my money on it... I'd bet it has something to do with Mim... why she came here... wherever here is' Carol thinks to herself.
Meanwhile, Mim and Dr Eve walk through another part of the cavern, and Mim tells Dr Eve to atch her step. 'Underground lakes can be... full of... horrible... calamari' Mim calls out as an enormous squid-like alien slithers after them. Mim stands her ground though and starts to slice away the creature's tentacles one by one. Dr Eve watches and shudders.
Back in space, one of the Qunjets begins to prove difficult for Carol and Zeta Flight to deal with. 'That pilot's got some serious skills...deadly serious' Carol thinks to herself as the Quinjet navigates past Zeta Flight, and spins around to face Carol directly. 'Crap!' Carol utters as the Quinjet opens fire and blasts her backwards into Zeta Flight Space Station. 'Damn me and my hard head' Carol thinks to herself, muttering that T'Challa is going to kill her. 'T'Challa? I'd focus less on that  toothless kitty... and more on what I'm going to do to you!' a voice calls out – and Carol looks up to see a woman in black standing over her. 'The Widower! She doesn't look too happy...' one of the Zeta Flight crew exclaims.
'Natasha? I thought you were -' Carol begins, before the Widower interrupts her: 'What, friends? Is that why you tried to cut me out?' Carol looks confused and upset and asks the Widower what she is talking about. 'You were dead, Nat! I saw Steve Rogers kill you!' Carol exclaims. 'That hundred-pound weakling? He couldn't hurt a fly' the Widower replies. Sasquatch, Wendy and Eugene land their jets back on Zeta Flight. 'What's the deal, Widower? Why the hostility?' Wendy asks as they approach the Widower, who just snorts at them. 'Why? Because you and your boss are a bunch of backstabbing thieves' the Widower snaps. 'Hey! That's not true...' Wendy replies, adding that they would hit the Widower right in the face – except that they haven't cheated her. '...yet' Sasquatch points out. Eugene informs her that they have been working on the big  heist plan for a month.
'Wow. You even lied to your own crew?' the Widower exclaims, turning to Carol. 'No! Um. Maybe?' Carol replies, before the Widower tells the Zetas that the word is their boss is going to collect the bounty and cut them out. 'She is?' Wendy asks. 'I am?' Carol exclaims. 'Good luck with that. You're a thief, not a super-spy. No way you can disappear without my help, Danvers' the Widower snaps, before turning away and heading over to her Quinjet 'Nat -' Carol calls out, but the Widower tells her to go ahead and collect her money. 'Just know...you can cheat me. You can cheat your crew...but you'll never cheat him. His highness always finds his mark' the Widower points out. 'Huh?' Carol asks, while the Widower warns her that without her protection she will never be able to hide. 'Never?' Eugene asks as the Widower flies away in the Quinjet.
Back in the caverns on a distant world, Mim and Dr Eve walk into a large cavern with a platform that extends out over darkness. Dr Eve asks Mim if she can feel the power in this place, and suggests that it must be older than time itself. Mim reports that she feels strange, and tells Dr Eve that she doesn't like this. They approach a small podium on the platform and Dr Eve declares that this is their destiny, right in front of them. 'It can't be that simple, can it?' Mim asks. 'Simple? We've traveled galaxies for this moment. We've earned it' Dr Eve declares, reaching out she picks up a satchel on the podium, and tells Mim that all they have to do is take it – so she is.
Carol looks at her reflection in the reflective surface of Zeta Flight Space Station and wonders what she has gotten herself into. She reminds herself that she is supposed to be rescuing Bean, and yet somehow she has stumbled into her own personal Twilight Zone – an “opposite day” where she is a backstabbing criminal with a mutinous crew. 'Speaking of...' Carol thinks to herself as there is a communicator sound, and holographic images of Eugene, Wendy and Sasquatch appear before Carol. 'Sup, Puck?' Carol asks. Eugene sighs and reminds Carol of his name, before telling her that they have to talk. 'It's j ust...you've been acting very strangely...and as your crew, we feel you owe us an explana-' Eugene begins, before Wendy interrupts him: 'Spit it out, Eugene!' she snaps. 'Rude!' Eugene declares, as Wendy informs Corporal Danvers that they want their share. 'We've busted our humps here for a once-in-a-lifetime score. We deserve a piece of the action' Wendy explains. 'Wen...I...' Carol begins. '...don't belong here at all and would lock you all up if I could?' Carol thinks to herself, at a loss as to what to say to “her” crew. Sasquatch tells Carol that there is no use lying and that she needs to cut them in, or they walk. He adds that they will be on the bridge when she is ready to talk, before the three holo-images vanish.
'Even the bad guys think I'm a bad guy. Oh, man. I'm in a mirrored universe. Great...' Carol mutters.  She tells herself that she has to get out of here, and wonders how. She thinks that she followed Mim here, so supposes that her best chances of finding Bean and getting home is to find that shape-shifting sociopath and figure out what is going on. 'So how does a criminal crew find a violence sociopath in a dark alien universe?' Carol asks herself.
Shortly, Carol approaches Sasquatch, Eugene and Wendy on the bridge, and announces: 'Here's the deal, Zetas. I'm still the boss here. So if you wanna get paid, you're gonna have to do what I say'. 'You mean like a plan?' Wendy asks. 'I mean exactly like a plan' Carol tells her.
Back at the caverns, Dr Eve and Mim run from the cavern with the platform, and Dr Eve tells Mim that they have to get out of here, as no one can know they have the stone in their possession. 'Understood, Doctor' Mim replies as she opens fire on the entrance to the cavern, which collapses behind them. Dr Eve hods up the satchel, which begins to glow, and announces that the second trials of Hala can begin, because the Heart of Gaia is hers. Dr Eve grins and boasts that even if half the thieves and smugglers and treasure seekers in the known universe are looking for her. 'Good ones, too...just not as good as we are, Doctor' Mim remarks. Dr Eve hands Mim the satchel and tells her to take it and hold the power in her hands and never forget how it feels. 'Doctor... I can feel it' Mim responds.

Nearby, a sniper has aimed his weapon towards the women – he pulls the trigger and Mim falls backwards with a thus. Dr Eve looks horrified and she is shot in the head, falling onto Mim. The sniper goes down and stands on Mim's arm, crushing it. 'Thanks, guys' he remarks before picking up the Heart of Gaia and communicating with someone, he declares 'This is Lord Starkill'. A voice is heard over Starkill's communicator, asking him if he was successful. 'Course I was...I told ya, no one can take a hit from my elemental rifle' Starkill boasts. His mask pulls backwards away from his bearded face, and he smiles as the Heart of Gaia glows in his hands. 'Target is down. Your dumb little rock is secure' he reports, as the mysterious person he is communicating with tells him that  he did a good job, and instructs him to bring him the Heart of Gaia.

Dark Origins, part 3
The Zeta Flight Space Station, orbiting somewhere over Earth Zeta, a dark galaxy very, very far away. Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel is hover-sleeping. She has never been a great sleeper, for when you win a whole lot of battles, night is for replaying the ones you've lost. She suppposes that is a person's real legacy, in a way, at least, that's what everyone remembers. You forget the victories. She thinks that it is even harder to sleep in a bizarroland galaxy where everything seems dark – and when everything reminds you that, in this reality, you're one of the bad guys. Ammunition and weapons lay scattered about the room where Carol is sleeping, when her slumber is suddenly interrupted by a voice that calls out to her: 'Carol! Carol, are you there?' the voice asks. Carol stirs, 'Bean... where are you?' she replies. Bean's voice can be heard telling Carol that she is running out of time. 'I'm running out of time, Carol' Bean adds.
Carol asks Bean if she is here in this dark galaxy, wondering if that is why the shapeshifter brought her here. 'I've got a plan... and a hijack-happy crew of Zetas to pull it off...' Carol announces. Bean tells her that she is at Gaia, to which Carol asks if that is a place, and tells Bean that she has been looking for her everywhere. 'Look harder...I'm right here' Bean utters, her face appearing in the stars that surround Zeta Flight Space Station. An image of Dr Eve and Mim sitting by a blazing energy can be seen, and Carol falls onto the bed, 'I'm coming, Bean!' she exclaims.
Later, Carol and her crew – Sasquatch, Judd and Wendy Kawasaki, along with the Widower, look at some schematics, as Sasquatch informs Carol that they cased the Gaia temple, just like she said, and the entrances have all caved in. 'We're talking serious firepower. A big bang boom' Sasquatch declares. Judd points out that with tracks, like something had been dragged away. 'Or someone' Wendy suggests, adding that there was no treasure. 'So now what?' Carol asks. The Widower suggests that they jack the crap out of the jokers who stole their stash, and adds that is the only reason she came back to these zero-talen Zetas. Carol tells the Widower that she talks a big game, but points out that whoever took their loot is probably long gone.
'Keep up, Care Bear' the Widower frowns at Carol, announcing that she has been scouting this ship long enough to know everyone who had skin in the game. 'If you didn't steal our haul...then there's only one other crew that could have pulled it off' she exclaims. 'Who?' Carol asks, an image of Bean appearing around her.
Meanwhile, Lord Starkill is in his ship, a voice can be heard over the communications system, telling Lord Starkill no to make contact. 'I can't have people thinking I associate with lowlifes like you' the voice declares. 'Hello? The name's Starkill, not Buzzkill, and this isn't a social call...just figured you'd want an update on the job' Starkill replies. 'Quick then. I have lives to save...wrongs to right...injustices to...' the voice trails off, as Starkill tells the person he is speaking with to stuff it. 'You're one of the good guys... we know already...' he mutters, before informing them that he will hand over the hunk of rock as soon as he refuels, but that the price has gone up because of the damages. 'Damages? What are you talking about, Quill?' the voice asks.
'The people. Who got damaged. When I, you know, damaged them...with my blaster. Which I gotta say was pretty dang damaging to me... emotionally' Starkill explains. 'WHAT?' the voice snaps. Starkill sighs, and quotes “You see, it's the Circle of Life, Simba. We eat the antelope...” he begins. 'Circle of Life? It's your circle of death! And I won't have you summon Death in my name!' the voice shouts over the communicator. 'Now he tells me' Starkill mumbles. The voice tells Starkill that had he known the extent of his crew's reputation, he never would have contacted him. 'You're wanted in seven systems for committing acts of violence!' the voice exclaims. 'Eigh, last time I checked. But go on...' Starkill replies. 'I'm fairly certain the little green one killed his own family' the voice remarks. 'Hey! That's not fair! Draxx's family had it coming! They were terrible people!' Starkill exclaims, but the voice tells him that this is unacceptable. 'Look, big guy. The question is simple...do you want your little rock or not?' Starkill asks
In a shuttle, the Widower tells Danvers that the Ravagers mean business. 'Great. I'm coming to them with business' Carol points out. Sasquatch eats something from a bag, while Judd looks down nervously, and Wendy stands away from the others, arms folded. 'Their business is killing you' the Widower explains. 'Okay, not that business' Carol remarks, wide-eyed. The Widower explains that the Ravagers just won't let them show up and rob them, and asks her if she has forgotten her little rivalry with the Ravagers' leader. 'Rivalry?' Carol asks, while remembering that her buddy Quill grew up with the Ravagers, and from what he has told her, she thinks she can handle them. 'The leader of a bunch of old space pirates? No problemo' Carol smiles. The Widower suggests that when it comes to this heist-on-a-heist, they should be prepared for anything, and turns back to the others: 'Are you three stooges clear on the plan?' she asks.
Wendy looks unimpressed and asks why they have to “wait for the signal”. She declares that heists are supposed to be exciting, like “Temple of Doom”, but all this planning feels more like “Temple of Dull”. Judd tells her that dull is good, dull is great. 'I just want to ask, Corporal, if you've really thought through this plan of yours?' he asks Carol. Shoving more food into his mouth, Sasquatch remarks that a good heist is about snacks, and tells Wendy to respect the process. 'Is this a crew or a kindergarten?' the Widower snaps, telling Danvers to get control of her team. Carol glances out of the corner of her eyes at the Widower and tells herself that Natasha is no dummy, so she has to sell this corporal crime boss thing a little harder. 'Widower's right. This ain't a democracy. You wanna see payday?' Carol asks, snatching the bag of food from Sasquatch, she tells him to stop stuffing his face and pay attention. She instructs Kawasaki to quit her blubbering and focus on the mission, and warns Judd – calling him Puck – that the next time he questions her orders, she will toss  him out of the air lock – without a suit. Judd gulps in fear, while Carol thinks to herself that ripping into her crew is never fun, even when they are actually delinquent doppelgangers from another dimension. 'Go figure' she mutters to herself as the shuttle approaches an asteroid belt.
Starkill's vessel closes in on the asteroid belt, too, and he contacts his crew, the Ravagers, announcing that he is on final approach, he asks if anybody is home. 'Oh, hey, Quill. We were beginning to think you were dead. Cough. He's alive, guys! Put his stuff back! Ixnay on the uffstay!' a voice can be heard over the communicator. 'What'd I tell you about pronouncing me dead so you can take my stuff, Rockette?' Quill exclaims. 'I dunno. I don't listen to you' Rockette replies, before asking Quill what he wants. Quill reports that he is almost back, and needs his team to prepare some fresh fuel cells so he can head out to make the drop. 'Ah, c'mon. I was gonna go throw stuff at Draxx...' Rockette responds. 'You're a twisted little – hey – what's that red light on the bouy mean again?' Quill remarks as he sees a red light out ahead of him in space. “Red light, sailor's delight?” Rockette asks. Quill tells Rockette that doesn't ring any bells. “Stop at the intersection?” Rockette suggests. 'You think? In space? Quill wonders. 'No, I don't think, you idiot! It means we've got company!' Rockette snaps.
Later, the shuttle that Carol and her crew are in move into the asteroid belt, where Starkill's jet is positiond on a landing pad that is connected to one of the asteroids, and one of the crew informs Corporal Danvers that they are approaching the coordinates for the Ravagers' hideout. 'So the Ravagers went with the old asteroid field hideout' Sasquatch remarks. 'Yeah, they went classic' Wendy agrees, to which the Widower decides that the Ravagers are smarter than they look. 'But they've got nothing on us. Or at least, me' she smiles. 'I hope you're right' Carol remarks, after they suit up into some blacks costumes. The Widower announces that she is shutting down the drives, and that this is as close as they can get with the ship. 'Then what are we waiting for?' Carol asks. 'Let's do this!' Carol exclaims as she walks back through her shuttle, with her crew and the Widower at her sides – Chewie the Flerken cat and Brand the dog – at her feet.
Carol flies the Widower through the asteroid belt, closer to the Ravagers' asteroid base. The Widower instructs Carol to stick close. 'I'm the brains of this op. You're just the muscle' she adds. 'Just?' Carol asks. The Widower tells Carol not to let her hatred of Starkill get in the way of the mission, to follow her lead and keep her eye on the prize. As they land on the asteroid, Bean's voice can be heard calling out to Carol, who tells the Widower that she is. 'A haul this big, even split among the crew...we'll be set for life...' the Widower points out. 'So you keep telling me' Carol remarks, before finding something familiar about Starkill's ship, but the Widower tells her to stop messing around, and rushes over to the hatch, which she tries to blast open with an energy beam from her space suit, but it doesn't work. 'You try...' the Widower calls out to Carol, who is staring back at Starkill's ship. 'But -' Carol begins. 'Just hold your arm out and blast. It's not rocket science' the Widower mutters, so Carol raises a fist, pulls her arm back – but before she can fire a blast of energy, the hatch starts to open.
'Huh?' Carol asks. 'You!' she then exclaims, wide-eyed, as the Ravagers appear before her: 'SURPRISE!' Starkill declares, wearing his mask and holding a weapon pointed at Carol and the Widower. 'You coulda just knocked' the pink-skinned Gamora smirks, while the skinny Draxx holds a knife out to the new arrivals. 'I am Root' a large carrot-like alien remarks, while Rockette smiles and declares 'Totally agree. Let's waste 'em -' but before she can fire her weapon, Carol lunges at her knocking the weapon upwards, and pushing Draxx back, who drops his large knife. 'I am Root' Root calls out as the Widower smacks him in the face. Carol then pushes Rockette into Starkill. 'Hey!' he calls out. 'Sorry' Carol remarks. The Widower is punching Gamora on the ground, and tells Carol to close the air lock, as they can take the Ravagers in close quarters. Carol presses a button on a control panel, and the hatch begins to slide closed – when suddenly, 'Hold that door!' a voice calls out, and Carol turns to see Sasquatch, Wendy and Judd flying into the asteroid base using space suits, they open fire.
'Now this is what I'm talking about! Way less boring!' Wendy exclaims. 'Oh, yeah' Sasquatch agrees, smiling as he opens fire. 'Oh no' Judd utters. 'I didn't give the signal yet!' Carol calls out as she dodges a punch that Starkill throws at her. 'I'm gonna say emotionally you did' Wendy smiles as she fires her weapon. Starkill's mask has come off, and he wraps his hands around Carol's throat. Carol tells him that this is ridiculous, and asks why they would fight him. 'You're my buddy. We could be helping each other' Carol exclaims. 'Ever heard of a little thing called a nemesis?' Starkill asks. 'You're my nemesis?' Carol asks, before bursting into hysterical laughter. 'Excuse me?' Starkill asks. Tears fall from her eyes, 'I mean, the Widower was one thing. Bald Sasquatch, aggro Wendy, Puck the chicken... even that I could take' Carol laughs. 'Er, it's Eugene' Judd calls out. That just causes Carol to laugh even harder. 'Right! Eugene! It's Eugene!' she exclaims. Starkill asks Carol if she wants to let the rest of them in on the joke.
The Ravagers, Carol, the Widower and the Zeta Flight crew walk down a corridor, as Carol tells everyone that the idea that a cosmic screw-up like Peter Quill could be her nemesis, even in this messed-up galaxy, is just too much. She bursts into hysterics again. 'Take a good look at the situation...' Gamora begins, leading the Widower, who has been cuffed, down the corridor. 'Okay...Pinky' the Widower replies. Gamora asks who the screw-ups are, while Carol bursts into laughter again, “Pinky!” she quotes. Judd, Wendy and Sasquatch are being led down the corridor by Rockette and Root, 'Well, taking everything into consideration...' Judd begins. 'Rhetorical question, Dumbbucket' Rockette tells him. 'I am Root' Root smiles. 'Good one, pal. “Dumb-Pucket”!' Rockette laughs.
Starkill puts a hand around Carol and tells her not to be like that, and that he always thought they made a pretty good team. 'I mean, as nemeses. Nemeseses. Neme...sai?' he asks. Carol laughs that Starkill can't even say the word. 'I can say it...maybe I just don't want to' Starkill replies. 'Ri-ight' Carol tells him, before she, Widower and Zeta Flight are placed into a cage in some sort of storage room. Carol asks Quill to let them go and tells him that he can have the stupid loot, as the treasure, whatever it is, isn't why she is here. “Stupid loot?” “Whatever the treasure is?” Starkill quotes, asking Carol who the crappy nemesis is now. 'This is all a huge mistake...' Carol declares. 'Yeah, I've heard that one before' Starkill replies, slamming the cage closed. Carol tells him that he doesn't get it, that she is not a criminal, not even supposed to be in this galaxy, that she is only here to find a friend of hers.
Starkill tells Carol that it is always nice to see her, and that they should do it again real soon. 'You have to listen to me, Quill!' Starkill tells her that he would love to, but that he is kinda in the middle of something, so they should raincheck this whole neme-chat for a hot second. Rockette informs Starkill that they have a client waiting. 'Hey, what have I said about interrupting me when I'm talking to my neme... neme... neme-Carol?' Starkill snaps. 'Sorry, big guy. I didn't mean to...' Rockette replies as she and Starkill walk out of the storage room. 'Hey, don't give me those raccoon eyes' Starkill tells her. 'Those are my regular eyes, Quill' Rockette replies. 'But what about Bean? Seen a little blue Kree kid around here? She's supposed to be here...' Carol calls out, but gets no response.
Later, 'Hiya, big guy' Starkill smiles as he sits in a chair, and the voice is heard again over the communicator, warning Starkill that his patience is wearing thin. Starkill smiles and tells the voice that he has got something for him – a deal that he cannot pass up. 'I sincerely doubt that' the voice responds. 'No, seriously! This is huge, huge!' Starkill smils. 'What if I told you I'd captured the only person in the galaxy who's more wanted than me...? Someone truly terrible who needs to be taken off the streets...er, metaphorically' Starkill announces. The voice tells him to go on, and Starkill explains that he would be willing to bring them to him, for the good of the galaxy, and a nominal fee, of course. 'Hmmm' the voice contemplates. Starkill asks him if that is a good “hmmm” or a bad “hmmm”, to which the voice tells Starkill that he would need more than his word to strike a deal. 'Where's the love T-dawg? But..figured you'd say that. Transmitting your proof...now' Starkill announces, pressing a button, he tells his client that he will have them waiting for him. Thanos looks down at the transmission of Carol and the others in the cage, and he smiles, declaring '...they will know the justice of Thanos!'

Dark Origins, part 4
'How do I keep finding myself in these situations?' Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel thinks to herself as she sits in a cage inside a storage room aboard the Ravagers' asteroid base. Carol reminds herself that she goes looking for one missing Kree kid, and ends up in a dark galaxy where up is down and good is evil, where Quill is her nemesis and her crew is comprised of galactic thieves – and still she hasn't found Bean. Carol knows that she has to find the kid, but her hands are tied – literally, as some energy cuff keeps her hands together. What's worse is that it isn't just her neck on the line. The bald Sasquatch and Puck, who prefers to be called Eugene here, are arguing, while the brash Wendy Kawasaki and the Widower stand near the cage bars. Everyone looks up as a voice in the storage room calls out 'Ah, look at the sad wittle corporal... and her good-for-nothing Zetas'.
The Ravagers stand before the cage, and the carrot-like Root snorts 'I am Root' to which the human-looking Rockette tells Root that it does suck to suck. Lord Starkill smiles and tells Rockette to be nice, as making your guests eat crow is not what good hosts do. The pink-skinned Gamora and the skinny Draxx stand nearby, as Draxx reminds Starkill that they are not good hosts, they are pirates, and the Zetas are their rivals. 'Okay, yes. You're right about that part, Skinny' Starkill smiles. Draxx doesn't like that name, and growls. Starkill turns back to his prisoners and announces that soon the Ravagers will be the only space pirates in the entire galaxy, and the world will be theirs for the space pirating. 'That doesn't sound good' Judd remarks. 'He's down with the shooting. We still gotta work on the talking' Rockette explains.
Starkill leans close to the bars where Carol is now standing and tells her that they have reputations to consider – marketing, PR, endorsements – Starkill slushie cups! 'Can it, Quill' Carol snaps. 'That's “Oh my fearsome nemesis Quill” to you, Corporal. But don't worry, I got a plan for you, too' Quill smiles, before announcing that he got to thinking “Who else in this universe hates Danvers as much as I do?” 'I am...Root?' Root asks, pointing at himself. 'Get in line, Carrot Top!' Rockette snaps. 'Exactly. The answer was “pretty much everyone, obviously”!' Quill exclaimings, wagging a finger at Caro. 'Obviously' Carol replies, before Quill tells her that there was a standout – Thanos! 'Thanos?' Carol asks, surprised. 'Big time. He wants to lock you in a hole for eternity, Danvers. Which means... we turn you over to Thanos and suddenly we're the good guys!' Qiuill grins. 'And we are not good' one of his crew points out. 'But he'll think we're on his side...which means... access to his stuff! Yanno, the good stuff!' Quill declares.
'You're taking us to Thanos?' What is wrong with you?' Gamora asks, grabbing Quill's arm. 'Them. I'm taking them to Thanos. For loads of mon-aaay' Quill explains. 'Can you starchill out for a sec while we discuss this?' Rockette asks. 'Which part? The mon-aaay?' Quill smiles. Draxx frowns and asks Quill why he says it like that, as it is very annoying. 'Dunno. Just kinda thought it sounded cool, I guess' Quill tells him. 'I did not' Draxx assures Quill. 'So noted, okay. So noted' Quill tells Drax, before Gamora tells Starkill that he is an idiot, and that this will be their doom as she marches out of the room. 'I agree with Gamora. Certain doom' Draxx remarks. 'Doom city. And normally I'm on the side of whatever makes us the biggest bank...' Rockette announces. 'I am Root!' the strange alien calls out. 'Or robs it. Good point, Rooty baby' Rockette agrees.
Starkill turns back to Carol and tells her that he was kinda hoping for that reaction from her. 'Me? I'm not afraid of anyone in any galaxy...so I think it's a great idea' Carol replies. Judd raises his hand and tells Carol and Quill that he thinks they both have terrible judgment. He asks the others to raise their hands if they want a) a mutiny and b) a better plan. Everyone else in the room raises their hands. 'Unanimous. You're both fired' Judd tells Carol and Quill. Quill puts his hands on his hips and declares that they didn't vote on voting, so thie vote doesn't count. 'Sidenote? You guys make crap mutineers' Carol tells her crew. Gamora is sitting on the floor outside ther storage room, away from the door, she tells the others that they can't see her, but her hand is up. 'Er...' Starkill remarks, looking at Carol.
Later, Carol is asleep in the cage. Starkill is sleeping a few feet from her, also in the cage. Bean's voice can be heard calling out to Carol. 'You coming to find me, Carol?' Bean asks. Her astral form hovers over Carol, and tells her to hurry, but to be careful. Carol looks up and sees Bean's teenage astral form. 'We gotta stop meeting like this, kid' Carol jokes, before Bean informs her that Mim, and Dr Eve, what they want is close by – and dangerous. Bean projects an image of a red stone, and tells Carol that she has to find this first – for her. 'Huh? How?' Carol asks, before the Widower appears and shakes Carol, waking her up. 'You too, Buzzkill' the Widower tells Starkill. The Widower informs Carol and Quill that the Ravagers have cooked up a little mutiny special, ditching the Zetas and taking off now. 'And you're especially not gonna like where we're headed...' the Widower reports.
A subtle soon lands on another space station, where large statues of Thanos and Nebula loom over the assorted aliens who walk about the space station. The shuttle hatch opens, and Carol and Starkill are tossed down the plank. 'Oh, come on. First rule of a mutiny double-cross hostage sale – don't bruise the merch... especially when I'm the merch!' Quill calls back. 'What if the merch is cruising for a bruising?' Rockette asks as she, Judd, Root, the Widower and Sasquatch walk down out of the shuttle. 'Hello, protecting your investment? Come on! Have I taught you nothing?' Quill asks his crew. 'I am Root' Root remarks. 'Ditto. Nada. Zippo' Rockette tells him 'I would not say zippo...' Draxx begins. Quill thanks Draxx, who announces 'I woud say negative integers...'. A green-skinned alien with a red cape and gray armor approaches the group and welcomes them to Titan, where all citizens can meet on the corner of law and order. 'Yeah? Or what?' Rockette asks. 'What have I said about infuriating the armed authority figure, Rockette?' Starkill mutters, before the alien offers to show them to the master. 'Lead the way' someone mutters.
Nearby, Gamora stands opposite Nebula. 'Sister' they both remark, addressing each other. 'Father will be so happy to see you' Nebula announces. 'Or not' Gamora replies. 'Or that' Nebula agrees, before Gamora adds that she is not setting foot in that hellhole of a prison that Nebula calls home. 'You must' Nebula tells her, 'Must I? Here's a thought...make me...!' Gamora snaps, punching Nebula hard in the face. Sasquatch and Wendy look on, unamused. 'Yeah, that's why I don't have one' Starkill smiles. The Widower sighs, and asks 'A sister?' to which Starkill replies 'A watch'. Nebula strikes back, punching Gamora, before Rockette utters 'Any minute now' and a soldier calls out to Nebula, trying to get her attention, as a figure looms over her and Gamora. 'NEBULA' the figure shouts – it's Thanos!
'Nebula? Is this how you greet your sister after so long apart?' Thanos asks. 'FATHER! I didn't intend... it's just... Gamora...' Nebula replies, to which Thanos asks if this is any way for the captain of their peace force to behave. 'Yeah, Nebula' Gamora mocks. Nebula apologizes to Thanos, but Gamora tells her that she doesn't look sorry, then punches her in the face again. 'That's better' Gamora smiles. Nebula goes over to Thanos and tells him that she will make Gamora see, and that she will meet justice for her disrespect. Thanos tells Nebula to be patient, and that her sister will return home when she is ready. 'Yes, of course, Thanos the Just' Nebula replies, before Thanos points out that they have honored guests to welcome.
Shortly, inside the Gauntlet, the Seat of Galactic Justice. 'I am Root' Root remarks as he and the others stand on a platform that looks down to where Thanos sits on a grand throne, and Captain Marvel and Starkill stand before him. 'Yeah, Root. This is starting to seem like a bad idea' Rockette agrees. 'You are not wrong, rodent and vegetable' Thanos calls out, before looking down at Carol and Quill and pointing out that most questionable characters steer clear of the Gauntlet, Seat of Galactic Justice. He reveals that from this very location, Titan's peace force keeps watch over the galaxy's innocents, and now that he has brokered peace between the Kree and the Slkrull, he has made it his mission to put an end to violence and death throughout the universe – no matter the price. 'Wait, Thanos is really the hero of this universe? I... wow. I just... yeah, no. I've got nothing' Carol thinks to herself.
Nebula stands near Thanos as he points out that Quill was not to show his face here, and asks him if he is turning himself in, as well as his companion. “Companion?” Carol quotes. 'That's rich' she mutters. 'Nemesis! The word is nemesis!' Quill exclaims, before Draxx raises a hand and informs Thanos that they are the ones turning Captain Marvel and Lord Starkill over to him. 'Mr “The Just”!' Draxx adds, before Rockette asks 'What are two lawless, half-humans worth around here, anyways?' 'I am Root' Root calls out, to which Rockette tells him 'Good point' and suggests Thanos meet them on the corner of “Half-human but still full price”!' Thanos asks what the lives of two sworn criminals are worth, especially two who have proven time and again that they are utterly incapable of redemption. 'Nothing at all' he concludes.
'Listen up, Thanos...forget these clowns...' the Widower calls out. 'Where are the clowns? I see now clowns here' Draxx remarks. 'Really, Draxx?' the Widower mutters, while Starkill reminds Thanos that the rock he got him is one of a kind. Thanos points out that Starkill has yet to deliver the rock, and at this point, he can only assume that its acquisition was a fabrication. 'hang on a sec, Mr Thanos!' Rockette calls out, as she holds up the glowing red stone, and asks 'What kind of numbers we talking on the crooks if we throw in said sweet rock?' 'The Reality Stone!?' Thanos exclaims, declaring that with this gemstone of power he can put an end to all evil and can do it without war or even violence – or any of them. 'Guards! Seize them!' Thanos calls out. Thanos recalls images of several super heroes and announces that for too long they have plagued this galaxy, pirating and pillaging, feeding on the weak – but no more – for with this stone, he will banish them all to a place they deserve, a dark place with no light and no joy and no hope of escape!
Thanos looks up to see the Widower and the Ravagers walking away. 'Sorry, am I boring you?' he asks them. 'You, uh... we thought we'd get out of your hair' the Widower calls back. Thanos tells them that they will all be making this trip, so he has to insist that they stay. Guards drop down near the Ravagers, and the Widower drops to the floor, kicking the guards over, she pulls out a gun and aims it at Thanos, telling him that she didn't really pack for a vacation. The rest of the Ravagers open fire on the guards, while Starkill and Carol are still shackled, they raise their cuffed hands and ask if someone can let them out. 'I'll protect you, father!' Nebula announces as she steps in front of Thanos and releases a force field from her gaunlet. Carol slams her head into one of the soldiers,  then fires an energy blast at Nebula's gauntlet, destroying it. 'Enough!' Thanos booms, announcing that he has reached the end of his patience, and the limit of his benevolence.
Thanos holds the stone in his hand, energy glows from it. 'Let the stone do what it...' Thanos begins, before he is whacked in the back of the head. He falls to the ground and the Reality Stone drops out of his hand and across the floor. 'You were saying, father?' Gamora asks, standing behind Thanos, holding a very large weapon. 'Father, no! You wanted nothing more than for my sister to return. Now look what she did to you!' Nebula calls out, holding Thanos' head up. 'Oh, she's just getting started' Gamora smiles as she aims her weapon at Nebula. Nebula scowls and tells Gamora that their father was wrong about her – she will never change. 'Not if I can help it' Gamora agrees. Nebula suddenly reaches over and grabs the Reality Stone, and announces that Gamora and her friends must be eradicated – but before she can do anything there is an explosion as one of the doors to the chamber is blasted open.
'Did someone call for a rescue?' Wendy asks as she, Sasquatch and Judd open fire. 'Look at that. Even when they're thieves, my crew still comes through' Carol tells herself, when suddenly, Nebula shouts 'No! Guards, stop them! Don't let them esca -' but as Carol and Starkill rush away, Thanos tells Nebula that if they fight hate with hate, they will be just like them. 'Let them go. Justice will find them' Thanos tells his daughter, taking her hand. 'Everyone, to the ship! Now!' Carol calls out, while at the same time, Starkill shouts 'Everyone! To the treasury! Now!'
'On what planet does “to the ship” mean “time to go chasing loot”?' Carol asks, holding the Reality Stone, as Starkill's crew is taking things from Titan and loading them onto their ship. 'This one. Didn't you see us?' Draxx asks.  As she climbs up the platform into their ship, Rockette asks 'So what, are we a super-group now? Like, a super villain group? Cuz I could get used to that...'.
Carol joins Starkill onboard the Ravagers' vessel, and Starkill tells Carol that for a while there, he thought they were goners. 'Really? You?' Carol asks. 'Nah. Not really. I just felt like saying that...' Starkill claims. Carol laughs and asks him why, to which he tells her that it seems like the thing a nemesis says when he ends up with the other nemesis. Carol snorts at that remark, then Starkill puts her up against a wall and puts his hand in front of her, 'Yanno...afterthe big score...adrenaline's still pounding...' he begins, when suddenly, a door in the vessel opens, 'I hope I'm not interrupting...' a voice calls out, and Carol and Starkill look over to see a weapon pointed at their heads. It's Dr Eve, who tells Starkill that she believes he took something that belongs to her – and now she is here to collect it.
'I did not see that coming' Carol mutters, while Starkill remarks that it feels strangely right in the old wheelhouse. 'The stone. You will not take it from me' Dr Eve declares. Starkill informs her that he has taken a lot of things from a lot of people, and a stone is not ringing any bells. 'He really does have a terrible memory...' Carol points out, while Dre Eve narrows her eyes that glow blue and she exclaims 'At least you'll remember me, won't you Carol Bean?'

Double Threat
Surveyors working for A.I.M. are checking a street for signs of the Uni-Power. One of them remarks that the science division has been tracking the Uni-Power for decades. He’s unhappy that he signed on to see the world, and he finds himself running tests for a bunch of nerds. His colleague agrees, but needs to help the forensics guys sift through some broken glass.
Watching the surveyors from a nearby rooftop is a man named Khanata. With him is the new female Scorpion and several armed S.H.I.E.L.D agents. Scorpion asks what they’re doing down there. Khanata replies that they’re still running tests; looking for any trace of the Uni-Power, he bets. She asks what the Uni-Power is exactly. Khanata reminds her that she’s already been briefed, but Scorpion asks for a refresher.
He explains that the Uni-Power is some sort of cosmic entity, or object, or something. It can bestow anyone it contacts with powers on a cosmic scale. Lately, something’s happened to it, causing it to malfunction. Its power levels aren’t consistent, and its memory appears to be faulty. So far, it’s bonded with both the Hulk and Daredevil in an effort to replicate their own superhuman abilities and track down the cause of its problems.
S.H.I.E.L.D. learned that A.I.M has been studying the Uni-Power for years now, and the street down below is the site where Daredevil fought four A.I.M. class three commandos with the help of the Uni-Power. He managed to capture one of them and turn him over to them, but the other three escaped. Those city workers are actually an A.I.M. detachment, sifting through the remnants of Daredevil’s fight, hoping to find any trace of the Uni-Power.
Scorpion asks why they are there, exactly. Khanata informs her that the only thing worse than something of the Uni-Power’s calibre being compromised, is if it falls under the control of A.I.M. They can’t let that happen. So, they need to determine if the workers below can find the Uni-Power and prevent them from containing it. Scorpion asks, in that case, if it’s okay if S.H.I.E.L.D. manages to contain it and put it to work for Uncle Sam. Khanata asks her to hold on. Something’s up.
Down below, two men and a woman approach the workers and say hi. They wonder if they might be able to spare a little change. The woman asks what it is they’re doing. One of the workers shoves her away from their equipment firmly, and her friend becomes angry, asking why he had to hit her, when all they wanted was a little spare change. The worker pulls out a weapon and points it at the guy. “How many times do we have to tell you?” he asks.
Scorpion reacts quickly, but Khanata tells her to hold on and give it a minute. Another S.H.I.E.L.D. operative points to the scene and asks them to take a look. Out of nowhere, X-23 leaps into action with four of her claws prepped for action. She makes one of the surveyors bleed with her initial strike, and his comrade orders a code red. As X-23 takes him out, three A.I.M. commandos appear, cloaked to render them invisible. X-23 has enhanced senses and she sniffs them out as soon as they arrive. She swings her claws in their direction and catches one of them, slicing his weapon in two. They wonder how she knows where they are.
The guy wanting change asks his friend who the chick is. She replies that she doesn’t know her name, but she’s seen her around the shelters. Maybe she was following them? X-23 continues her assault, narrowly missing one of the cloaked commandos, and dodging attacks from his colleagues. Scorpion wonders what the hell’s going on down there. Khanata informs her that they’re the commandos from Lombardi’s unit. They have cloaking abilities, and the girl doesn’t stand a chance.
One of the commandos grabs X-23 by the hair but, as he pulls, a strange phenomenon takes place. The Uni-Power instills itself into her young body, and she is suddenly supercharged. She picks up the aggressor and holds him over her head. She then swings him around and hurls him at one of the others, before slicing the edge off a fire hydrant to allow the pressurized blast of water take down the third. She is shot at, but leaps behind the worker’s truck for cover.
One of the workers grabs a weird-looking device that will pull the Uni-Power out of her once it’s been charged up, but he doesn’t get the chance to use it. Scorpion appears beside him, and smashes her fist into the equipment, rendering it useless. She then places her gloved hand on his face, which shocks him unconscious. X-23 continues her assault on the cloaked commandos, whilst Scorpion proceeds to take down the surveyors with her exceptional fighting skills.
As they fight, they bump into each other with their backs and both turn to face the other. With X-23’s claws at the ready, and Scorpion’s glove ready for action, Scorpion tells her to back off. She’s on her side. X-23 looks at Scorpion, who points at the commandos and reminds X-23 that they’re the bad guys. They shoot at the two women, but X-23 shoves Scorpion out of danger and slices one of them. Scorpion manages to get close enough to lay her glove on the other, and he falls the same as the surveyor did.
With the commandos down and the workers either unconscious or having run away, the Uni-Power speaks to X-23. Only she can hear its voice. It informs her that it is the Uni-Power, and it means her no harm. It has amplified her natural abilities and seeks her assistance. It adds that the men she’s been fighting have been collecting information about it; information they should not have. It asks if she’s willing to venture into their lair and destroy their records before they can use them to do it harm. X-23 recalls being tested upon herself, and agrees to cooperate, speaking out loud.
Scorpion asks what she said, but X-23 replies that it was nothing, before heading away from the fight scene alone. Scorpion asks her to wait, and asks where she’s going. X-23 replies that she needs to find the lair and destroy it. Scorpion fancies a road trip, and counts herself in. As X-23 climbs a fire escape, Khanata talks to her through her earpiece and orders her to stay with the youngster. Scorpion asks if she knows where their lair is, but X-23 admits she doesn’t. Scorpion replies that she must join her, because guess what she knows that X-23 doesn’t?
Meanwhile, two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Nagayoshi and Sareva, are interrogating the A.I.M. commando captured earlier: Lombardi. They need to know the location of the A.I.M. stronghold from where he and his crew were deployed. Agent Nagayoshi adds that, if he doesn’t feel like cooperating, then they’ll turn him over to Agent Morrow from their telepath division. He can go into his mind and retrieve the information, but he’s been told it isn’t exactly pleasant. Lombardi looks over at Agent Morrow, a large angry-looking black guy and decides to give them what they want.
Outside, Nagayoshi thanks Agent Morrow and Nagayoshi’s fellow interrogator asks if they really have a telepath division. Nagayoshi replies that Morrow has trouble reading a John Grisham novel, much less anyone’s mind. He gets on the phone to control and asks to be patched through to Scorpion’s earpiece. He has the Intel she needed.
It’s nighttime and both Scorpion and the newly empowered X-23 are surfing a train on the way to the A.I.M. hideout. “This is an interesting way to travel,” comments Scorpion, but her attempts at conversation fall flat. She asks for a name at least, informing her companion that she’s the new Scorpion; the good one. She’s not the one who fights Spider-Man. X-23 offers her codename before Scorpion spots their destination and they leap from the train.
Scorpion didn’t expect the building they approach to be her idea of a terrorist stronghold, and figures they need to find out a way in. X-23 solves that problem by kicking the door through. Once inside, X-23 states that no one is there, and heads to the stairs leading to the basement. Scorpion follows, feeling like she’s pretty much superfluous to this mission.
The steps lead down to a hi-tech series of tunnels. They notice a man’s head poking out of a door ahead of them. He slips back inside the room and the door slides closed behind him. “Well, that was rude,” says Scorpion, and the two heroes quickly follow the man inside. They find him sitting at a control desk tapping something into the computer. He warns them that they’re too late. He’s the only one left. The whole place is set to self-destruct in three minutes.
X-23 wastes no time is kicking his face in, leaving him unconscious. Scorpion notices that there’s some kind of data upload going on. She reckons it’s all their Intel on the Uni-Power thing. Through her earpiece, Khanata asks if she can throw it on a disk, and redirect it to one of their servers. They need that information.
As she listens, X-23 reaches over and smashes her fist into the computer, causing it to malfunction. Scorpion is sent sprawling to the floor, and asks what happened. X-23, with tears welling up in her eyes, replies that the Uni-Power made her stronger. She can hear things better, and she’s been listening to Scorpion speaking with Khanata. She doesn’t like the fact that they wanted the information for themselves, so they could force the Uni-Power to do what they wanted. She won’t let that happen.
Khanata tells Scorpion to bring her in, but she doesn’t respond. Instead, she grabs the scientist and put him over her shoulder. As she leaves the room and heads for the exit, X-23 follows. However, Scorpion asks where she’s going, and informs Khanata that X-23 just took off for another part of the plant. She says she can’t follow her, as the place is gonna blow any second. X-23 follows her silently.
Once they’re outside, the whole place explodes and Khanata asks what’s happened. Scorpion lays the scientist down between herself and X-23, and replies that she made it out, but X-23 didn’t make it. She was inside when the place blew. She then points to X-23, motioning for her to leave and, with a hint of a smile, she does as asked. Khanata is glad Scorpion’s all right, and tells her they’ll be with her in five minutes.
(later)
X-23 watches the sun setting, as the Uni-Power removes itself from her. It tells her that the data collected by A.I.M. is now lost to them. She has its thanks. X-23 asks where it will go. The Uni-Power, now a floating blue sphere, says it isn’t certain. This planet has many great minds. Perhaps one of them will be able to produce the solution to its problem. Regardless, it is now able to safely continue searching for answers without fear of being exploited. X-23 wishes it good luck, and watches as it disappears over the horizon.
(meanwhile, somewhere other than Earth)
Lilandra Neremani informs Gladiator that the Shi’ar has determined that the Uni-Power has become dangerously unstable, and could pose a serious threat to any populated planet. As such, it needs apprehending and brought back to their planet for evaluation. She trusts Gladiator is up to such a task. He crosses his arm over his chest, and tells her that he will not fail her.
