Band of Sisters, part 1
The Alpha Flight Space Station, where Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel watches the repairs being made to the AFSS by several crew members and decides that there is nothing like losing a battle with a disruptive geneticist and a shape-shifting clone to make you appreciate the little things in life – like two good friends spending quality time together. 'You think I don't know how to fix a busted docking module?' Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck shouts as Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch as they hover outside the AFSS in spacesuits, assisting with the repairs. 'Well, clearly you don't! It's righty tighty, lefty loosey!' Sasquatch exclaims.
'Or two young lovebirds sitting side by side' Carol thinks to herself inside as she watches Hopper and Lieutenant Wendy Kawasaki examining blood samples. 'Close, but not close enough. If we don't find an antidote to HLA-12...' Hopper begins. '... Carol goes from super hero to super hurricane, I know!' Wendy exclaims. 'Or two good natured, well-adapted aliens... who... who... yeah, I got nothing' Carol decides as she looks at Lieutenant Commander Abigail Brand, who scowls at the Flerken cat, Chewie. 'What are you staring at?' Brand asks Carol.
Carol looks at a photo of the Hala child called “Bean” that is taped to a mirror and decided that even with all that, you don't stop missing the little blue kid who wrapped her sticky fingers around your half-Kree heart. 'So you do what you gotta do... you use the loneliness. You improvise. You remember. And then you recruit' Carol tells herself. That is the reason she started the Cadet Training Program at Alpha Flight Space Station, for with the Chitauri on the horizon, it is never too early to start training – even if it is too late for Bean.
Standing before Carol are three young humans, all wearing the standard white, red, blue and yellow AFSS uniforms. A young man with light brown hair gives a half smile, while a young woman with grayish-brown hair smiles, and a young woman with dark hair, shaved on one side, bites her lip. A strange robot hovers over her. 'Nervous? You better be. As the first class of Alpha Cadets, you've got a whole lotta eyes on you, and not just mine...' Carol tells them. They each stand with their hands behind their backs, and Carol turns to the young man first, addressing him as Dante, she announces that he wouldn't be here if the Black Widow hadnt vouched for him. 'Let's hope she's not wrong...' Carol remarks. 'Black Widow wrong? Yeah right' Dante replies. The woman with the grayish-brown hair appears  to have no legs below her thighs, but stands tall on what appear to be a form of cybernetic enhancements. Carol calls her Glory and reveals that she won the Stark Science Expo at University of Manila. 'Too bad this isn't just a classroom' Carol tells her.
'Are you kidding? I'm the child of two astrophysicists. This may as well be my bedroom' Glory boasts. Turning to the woman with the shaved hair on one side, with the robot hovering over her, Carol states 'A'di and R2-D2 here came all the way from Wakanda...' A'Di interrupts Captain Marvel, announcing that her drone's name is Itz, as in it's not a droid. Carol points out that Black Panther thinks they have all the right stuff, but then again, he thought the Cap'N Marvel TV show was a good idea.... 'Ouch' A'Di remarks. 'Me-ep' Itz utters. Carol informs the three Cadets that this won't be easy for them, and that she is tough on them for the same reason her Cos were tough on her. 'Meep?' Itz asks. 'Sublimated anger issues?' A'Di enquires. 'Combat PTSD?' Glory asks. 'Sexism?' Dante suggests. 'No! Because one day you could assume a command post of your own. Just like Alpha Flight!' Carol exclaims.
The three Cadets (and Itz) are subjected to a combat training exercise against Sasquatch as Carol tell them that when that if and when that day ever comes, they will need to be combat ready. A'Di instructs Itz to fire some energy blasts at Sasquatch, while Glory wraps her cybernetic legs around his neck, and Dante holds a thin fencing-type sword towards him. Carol points out that they will need to have plenty of practical experience, and the young Cadets are shown to be climbing along the outside of the AFSS in spacesuits, supervised by Puck. They will also need strategic know-how, and Carol observes them as they navigate their way around large screens at monitor stations, while Chewie and Itz look on.
Carol informs the Cadets that there won't be time for mistakes. She states that Pearl Harbor fell in ninety minutes and Thanos in less than sixty. Carol turns to leave the room and tells the Cadets that is why she is giving them thirty minutes to break out of this combat sim room. 'You'll see why my crew calls it the Blood Shed' Carol adds. 'Wait – the Blood Shed?' Dante asks, concerned. 'I wouldn't even be down with a Bruise Shed' Glory remarks. 'Oh, please. This is like Dora Milaje preschool' A'Di exclaims.
The door closes behind Carol and a sign indicates that the chamber is locked. Carol gives them some advice, suggesting they work together and think “Band of Brothers”. The drone makes some beeping noises and A'Di tells the others that Its is right – band of sisters, and one brother. 'Either way, you're all here for a reason. Now it's on you to find out' Carol states.
'Tell me you did not just blood shed the Alpha Cadets' a voice remarks. Carol looks down the corridor and sees Abigail Brand, and tells her 'I may have'. Brand asks which battle sim it is, and Carol reveals that it is the Chitauri invasion. 'No mercy, eh?' Brand tells Carol, who reminds Brand that this isn't space camp. 'As much as I loved space camp' Carol admits. They stand together at an observation deck and look out over the blue planet below.
A pink light appears in the distance of space. 'Rhodey's gone, Tony's in a coma. Bean's some kind of... Hala energy ghost' Carol tells Brand, who replies 'We all face a hero's death... sooner or later'. Carol points out that with the Chitauri coming, she is betting that it is sooner, so they may need the next generation to hold the line. 'But... a nerd who built her own legs, a wannabe Dora Milaje whose BFF is a talking drone... and a Jersey junior mall cop?' Brand asks.
'You get what you get and you deal with it' Carol responds, to which Brand asks 'Three shed heads who won't last an hour in combat?' Carol informs Brand that she sent Wendy to round up extra protective gear from the Triskelion. Wendy can be seen on a monitor, riding the high-speed transport back to Earth, she exclaims 'It's okay, no, really. I got that double PhD to be the Alpha Flight errand girl!'
Later, in the AFSS research lab, Carol walks into see Hopper holding a star symbol and grins as he tells Carol that he has a present for her. 'You shouldn’t have' Carol replies. Hopper tells her that he knows, and reveals that there are so many lethal toxins in this thing that it is probably illegal in three solar systems. 'No, really, you shouldn't have' Carol tells him again. Hopper holds the star between pincers and explains that it would kill anyone else, so it should at least temporarily shut down her Hala effect. 'A Hala-Carol kill switch? Whoa' Carol replies, to which Hopper admits that he can't be sure it won't kill her, too. 'So, you know, save it for when you really need it' he suggests. 'That's comforting' Carol mutters. Hopper explains that it is designed so she can keep it on her at all times, and it won't activate until she breaks her skin. 'Um... thanks?' Carol replies as she sticks the star over the Hala star symbol on her chest.
'What are friends for?' Hopper replies. 'If not to help friends... not accidentally flatten other friends... yeah, that sounded better in my head' he mumbles, to which Carol tells him to know when to quit.
Carol looks at a timer on her watch and tells Hopper that she has to jet – she can't let her Cadets fight the Chitauri for much longer. 'Hunh?' Hopper asks, confused. Carol tells him that they are fake Chitauri, in the combat sim. Hopper gets to his feet and tells Carol that she had him spooked – what with the unusual amount of space dust out there today, plus the surge in gamma radiation, then the random ship showing up at the docking module. 'What ship?' Carol asks. '... and then that other one...' Hopper adds. 'Wait, what?' Carol asks, before a voice over the comm tells her that she better get to the bridge. 'We've got company'.
Shortly, Carol is on the bridge. Brand, Puck and Sasquatch stand around her, while several guests are lined up before them – Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum and Ms America Chavez of the Ultimates group, Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon and Baby Groot of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Marcus Milton a.k.a. Hyperion and Avril Kincaid the current Quasar. 'You're telling me the Chitauri swarm is on the move from deep space? Carol gasps. 'The bugs are forming up. As in, attack formation' Gamora declares. 'Thought you might need a little help. You and you know... the whole freaking Earth?!' Star-Lord points out. 'What he said' Spectrum agrees, while America suggests that it is lucky for them Carol has a large docking module. Chewie the Flerken cat hisses at Rocket, and he mutters 'Ya know I get that a lot...' 'I am Groooot!' Baby Groot exclaims. Rocket replies that Groot is just cranky because they are all going to die. An alarm sounds, and Star-Lord tells Captain Marvel that he is pretty sure this is where she says “battle stations everyone”. Wide-eyed, Carol orders 'Battle stations! Everyone!'
Inside the Blood Shed, the Cadets are attacking the Chitauri simulations. Dante swipes one of them with his sword and points out that force isn't working. 'Ya think?' A'Di mutters as she punches one of them, while Glory kicks one with her cybernetic legs and suggests that they have to crack the combat sim mechanic. The trio find themselves surrounded as the aliens move in closer. A'Di tells the others that there has to be a way to access the combat sim software from inside the simulation. 'When I was in SHIELD training...' Dante begins, but A'Di inerrupts: 'You? SHIELD? For real? It's not like you mention it...every five minutes...'  'Except, like, you do' Glory points out. Dante frowns and asks A'Di if she has a better idea. 'No, but Itz does' A'Di announces, telling the drone to go and scan for a control terminal, any kind of access point. 'Meep?! Me meep?' Itz replies. 'Okay, drama queen' A'Di remarks. 'Meep?' Itz asks. A'Di tells Itz that it is a sim. 'You literally can't get blown up...' she assures her drone. 'Just go, you big whiner!' A'Di declares as Itz flies past several Chitauri.
Itz finds the panel and releases a blue energy over the panel, 'Wah-o-wah-o' Itz repeats over and over. 'Is that good, A'Di?' one of the others asks. A'Di confirms that Itz found it, but can't reach the panel. The panel is up high, though, and Dante exclaims that they are screwed, as it's not like they can just fly up to the panel. 'Actually... can I borrow your blade?' Glory asks him. Glory then blasts upwards. 'Whoa. Great legs...' Dante exclaims, while A'Di snorts. 'I meant the engineering...' Dante explains. 'So not gonna happen' A'Di declares. 'How d'you know?' Dante asks. 'Um you're a boy' A'Di tells him. Dante just smiles, while, up above, Glory calls out 'Got it!'
On the command bridge:'What do you mean the planetary shield's not functioning?' Carol snaps at Sharon Carter and Captain America as she speaks with them over the monitor. Sharon reports that it was taken out at its main station by a Hydra suicide bomber hours ago. Carol asks if they have a fix and reminds them that they have their basic tsunami of hostiles incoming, and she doesn't think they are going to wait. Captain America assures Captain Marvel that they have an answer, and asks her how things are in the stars. 'If this is a suicide mission, I'm happy to report we're doing it the right way' Carol retort, before pressing a red button and ending the communications. She turns to those standing behind her, obscured by the shadows and tells them 'You heard Rogers. Until they get the shield back online, we're the only thing standing between the Earth and that...infestation'. She adds that it looks like they are Earth's first, last and only line of defense. 'Let's step up and show the galaxy what that looks like' Carol declares, before announcing that she has one question for them: 'How the hell are we gonna win this fight?' The viewscreen shows the approaching horrors – the large serpent-like Chitauri monsters and dozens of battle-ready alien warriors at their side.
Back inside the Blood Shed:'This isn't right' Glory exclaims as she hovers in the air, Dante clinging to her leg. 'What was your first clue? The spinning floor? Or the tiles shaking off the walls?' Dante asks. 'Yeah, I don't think this is any battle sim... I think it's a...' A'Di begins as she clings to Itz as the floor below them is ablaze. '...BATTLE!' Dante exclaims as a wall is blown open and they drop to the floor and move out into the corridor, where Alpha Flight Space Station personnel are engaging in combat with the Chitauri. 'Holy crap!' Glory calls out. 'That's... that's... they're...' A'Di utters, lost for words. 'Wah-o-wah-o' Itz repeats loudly over and over. 'Chitauri! The kind that literally can blow you up, buddy!' Dante declares. 'Meeeep!' Itz utters.
Outside, Star-Lord, America, Gamora, Quasar, Rocket and Groot, Spectrum and Hyperion stand ready for battle as Captain Marvel flies forward and delivers the first blow: 'Die with your boots on, people!' she exclaims as she slams her fist into one of the Chitauri aliens. Speaking to Captain America via communicator, Carol forces a large number of the aliens backwards by flying into them and reports to Cap that there are too many of them, and they are not going to be able to hold them back for long. 'STRIIIIKE!' Carol jokes as she kicks one of the Chitauri into several others. Carol then tells Cap that they could sure use a giant impenetrable force field surrounding Earth right now. Carol slams her fist into one of the aliens as Cap's voice is heard over the communicator, telling Carol that he hears her, and to hold tight, as he has two of their best people on it. 'Riri and the Tony AI?' Carol asks, informing Cap that “Tai” has gotten her out of a few tough spots lately. 'Huh? Tai?' Cap enquires. As Carol is slammed by one of the Chitauri, who knocks her into one of his fellow aliens, she tells Cap that her had to be there.
Carol fires a blast of energy as she calls out to her allies, 'Hold the line! We can't let them through!' she exclaims. 'No problemo' Star-Lord tells her as he fires a blast from one of his weapons. 'Eh, some problemo' Gamora points out as she fires her weapon at one of the Chitauri who is at close range, blasting a hole through his chest. America Chavez slams the heads of two Chitauri together, while Rocket slashes the chest of the Chitauri he hovers over, 'Major problemo! Major problemo!' he calls out, as an angry Baby Groot clings to his shoulder.
Spectrum ducks as one of the Chitauri flies over her on some sort of space-hover board. One of the large serpent-like Chitauri monsters flies close to the battle, 'Quasar I'm hit!' Hyperion calls out as one of the aliens in the distance shoots him. But Quasar is busy as she hovers in front of the monster, glowing, energy radiates around her, and suddenly, the hideous monster slams its large mouth down on Quasar, chomping closed. 'Steve! Quasar is down. I repeat, Quasar is down... we need that shield!' Carol announces.
The Alpha Cadets are watching the battle from a position in the AFSS where the hull has been breached, but sealed by a force field. 'Did you see that? The bug monster thing ate her!' Dante exclaims. 'Holy crap holy crap holy crap!' Glory repeats. 'That could have been us' A'Di remarks. 'M-e-e-p!' utters Itz. A'Di tells the others that it was a good death. 'Do you really believe that?' Glory asks. Dante declares that what he believes is that they should be out there fighting with the Captain and all of the others. 'Your blade isn't gonna do much about that swarm, Jersey' Glory points out. A'Di adds that they don't have anything to fight with. Glory coughs, 'Actually...' she begins as  firearms emerge from her cybernetic legs. 'Why am I not surprised?' Dante asks. 'Whoa, girl' A'Di exclaims.
Suddenly, the Cadets see a Chitauri on a space-hover board move towards them. 'Whoa – ugh – Glory!' Dante exclaims. 'Don't let it in!' A'Di tells her. Glory tells the others that she has to power up. Her legs click and clack, then whirl, and the emergency force field disappears as the Chitauri leaps towards them. Dante looks horrified, while Glory tells them to take cover, as the firearms on her legs unleash powerful blazes of fire, destroying the savage alien.
Carol looks out down to the Earth below and wonders what is taking so long. 'Come on, Tron Tony... you got this, Riri... get that shield up now... we're running out of time!'
The other heroes continue to fight the alien invasion, when suddenly, a beam of light rises from a platform. 'Is that what I think it is?' Carol wonders. 'Shield's up!' a voice announces over the communicator. Carol instructs the other heroes to pull back, as the shield is up and running. 'Shield is a go! Everybody get safe!' Carol announces, while the voice over the communicator adds 'And... you're welcome, Space-Face. The Chitauri aliens seem to slam into the shield and explode. Carol watches them and points out that they are too damn stupid to know better. Carol looks pleased, and contacts Captain America, asking him if he is seeing this. 'We did it... we really did it' she tells him.
Back inside AFSS, the three Cadets look down at the smoldering corpse of the Chitauri alien. 'Look at him... her... how do you know?' Dante tells the others. Glory informs him that not many alien species align to a gender binary, to which A'Di declares that she isn't going to care either way when it is snaking on them. 'Which it will...'cause look at how many of those things are out there. Do the math' she tells the others. Glory announces that, mathematically speaking, they are doomed. Suddenly, Puck barges into the corridor. 'There you are! Been looking everywhere for ya twerps... wait, what're you little snot-heads doing with that dead bug?' Judd asks them. The three Cadets fall into line, and Dante replies 'Uh... nothing?' A'Di claims that they found it like this. 'I torched it...' Glory admits. 'With what?' Judd asks her. 'Flame-throwing feet' Glory reveals, looking down at the diminutive Alphan. Judd peers at Glory's cybernetic legs and remarks that they are still not the strangest things he has seen today. 'Join the club' Glory replies.
The Cadets follow Puck down the corridor as the experienced Alphan informs them that the worst is over, they will get them back home soon as the shield is back down again. 'You home, and Wendy back...' Puck remarks. 'Yes, sir' Dante replies. Puck tells them that they just saw their first combat, and suggests this mustn't be what they expected when they signed on. 'No, sir' Dante agrees. 'Not even close' Glory remarks. 'Meep' Itz calls out. 'Oh, pretty much exactly' A'Di claims. Puck then turns back to the Cadets, and, fascinated by Glory's legs, asks her if those things come in rocket launchers.
Rocket and Baby Groot are catching some sleep while they get the chance. Carol contacts Captain America and tells him that they have wounded up here, but that the shield is not responding. She asks him if he can handle it on his side. 'I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do that, Carol...' comes Cap's response.  Star-Lord and Gamora look forlorn as Carol asks Cap 'What do you mean? Is it not working on your end either?' to which Cap reports that it is working as planned. America sits at the unmoving Hyperion's side and looks concerned as Carol asks Cap to let them back in, as the situation is all clear. 'Actually... they won't stop until they find their queen' Captain America announces. 'Queen? What? Steve, what the hell are you talking about... what have you done?' Carol asks, while Puck, Sasquatch and Brand look at her, concerned. '... exactly what you would do... wall off the world from its greatest threats' Captain America reveals, while the three Alpha Cadets turn to each other.
Carol is outside now, floating in space. Chitauri bodies and debris from their space-hover boards are scattered about. Carol hangs her head. She knows now that Captain America was talking about her, and Quill and Gamora, and Quasar, and America, and her crew – all of them. That's how she knows that what they are really facing is a threat far greater than a billion Chitauri, and not just that – a threat on the wrong side of the shield, he conned them into building for him – conned her.
'... this will be the last time we speak' Captain America informs Captain Marvel, before the communication is ended. 'You better hope that's true, Captain... you better... hope.' Carol announces grimly, narrowing her eyes.

Band of Sisters, part 2
Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel hovers I n space, looking at the darkened Alpha Flight Space Station, cut off from Earth, a force field glows around her home planet. She thinks to herself that the battle  is quiet now, but that they have all taken damage – and not just from the Chitauri, though they never stop coming. It is the despair that hits between the attacks that hurts worse. On the AFSS bridge, Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck, Lieutenant Commander Abigail Brand and Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch examine the control panels, whiile the three Alpha Cadets – Dante Cruz, Glory and A'Di, stare out into space, huddled under blankets. Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord and Gamora are also huddled under blankets in another room, as they clean their weapons, while Rocket Racoon tries to connect some equipment, 'This should do it' he utters. 'I am-m G-G-Groot' calls out Bany Groot, shivering under a small blanket. Captain Marvel thinks to herself that Captain America betrayed them. Steve Rogers, the heroes' hero is a traitor. 'If that can be true, what hope do we have?' she wonders.
Elsewhere aboard AFSS, Ms America Chavez and Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum have blankets draped over themselves as they play a game of chess. Carol thinks that they are now trapped outside the planetary defense shield, and both she and America have punched it with everything they have got. Spectrum has blasted it, but no matter how hard they try to get through it, they are just not strong enough. As Marcus Milton a.k.a. Hyperion places a blanket over the unmoving body of Avril Kincaid a.k.a. Quasar, Carol tells herself that Hyperion is a god and even he couldn't break through, while Quasar was the one person who even came close to breaching the shield. '... and because I trusted Steve, because I helped build it...I blame myself'. Carol slams a fist into the shield, but it doesn't even crack. Suddenly, a voice over the communicator informs Carol that they have got incoming. 'Roger. Battle stations?' Carol replies, before looking into the viewscreen where the Alpha Cadets are looking at her, and she tells them to stay put and not to get killed.
Moments later: 'Right on time!' Captain Marvel exclaims as an army of Chitauri warriors move towards her. She smacks her fist into one of them, knocking the alien backwards. 'Ya think the bugs set an alarm or something?' America asks as she knocks one of the aliens back. 'Gotta like the punctuality... but gotta like the leaving more!' Spectrum exclaims as she blasts the aliens. Rocket Racoon throws an explosive into the horde of aliens, which is explodes. 'Gr-groot!' Baby Groot calls out from where he clings to Rocket's back. Gamora slices one of the aliens in half, while Star-Lord fires his weapon into the aliens, and someone back inside the AFSS reports over the communicator that the hostiles are now on the run.
Shortly, on the bridge, Carol tells Star-Lord that the Guardians did a good job out there. 'Who are we kidding? That's an all-you-can-eat bug buffet, and sooner or later we're not gonna feel much like eating' Star-Lord replies. Carol tells him that she knows, and points out that they are short on ammo – and food and water. 'Plus the whole freeze-your-butt-off no-power thing' America adds. Carol announces that they have to find a way to get through that shield while they still can – but they can't do it alone. 'What about a little intergalactic recruiting?' Carol asks. 'Uncle America wants you... to save the Earth' America jokes, pointing. 'That's the general idea' Carol tells her, before turning to Star-Lord and asking him if that sounds like something the Guardians can do. 'Uh, yeah, we're not all that popular out there, yanno?' Star-Lord replies. 'Oh, we know' America grins.
'We also know you're all we've got. Or, Quill, if you don't actually guard the galaxy, then you guys need a new name' Carol declares. 'Well, when you put it like that' Star-Lord sighs. Carol then watches the viewscreen as two jets leave the AFSS. Brand stands a couple of feet from Carol, who tells her that they will find help, that they just have to batten down the hatches until they back. '...said the Captain of the Titanic' Brand remarks matter-of-factly. 'We still have a shot' Carol exclaims. '...said no one who depended on Peter Quill for anything ever' Brand declares. 'Meep' calls out the droid called Itz.
Later, in the barracks, Dante, Glory and A'Di are still wrapped in their blankets and listening to the conversation between Carol and Brand recorded by Itz. 'You got any better ideas, Brand?' Carol can be heard asking. Brand tells her that she does, but that she is down on Earth on a supply run. 'Wendy? I had the same thought. If we could just find a way to reach her...' Carol adds. 'But that's impossible -' Dante begins, but Glory shushes him. Brand points out that Steve Rogers might have thrown Wendy in the not-evil-heroes brig, to which Carol suggests that Wendy might be able to open the shield from the other side. 'That's a lot of ifs...' Brand tells Carol. 'Meep!' the droid calls out, and A'Di tells her fellow cadets that is all Itz heard.
'Not even Captain Marvel can get through that shield?' A'Di asks. 'Nope' Glory declares. 'We're even more screwed than we thought' Dante exclams, standing up. Glory calls the AFSS “Alphie” and points out that it is losing basic functions, so oxygen will probably be next. 'There has to be something we can do' A'Di tells her fellow cadets. 'Yeah. Stay put and not get killed. You heard the Captain, A'Di' Dante remarks, pulling the blanket up around his neck. 'But we're Alpha Flight now! What was all this training for, if we're not supposed to fight?' Glory asks. The three youngsters look out the window, and Dante announces that they are not soldiers. 'Nobody is... until there's a war. That's what the Dora Milaje say' A'Di tells the others. 'So we're all soldiers now?' Glory asks. A'Di announces that she doesn't just want to be a soldier – she wants to be a hero, like the Dora, like T'Challa, or Captainv Marvel. 'Meep' Itz tells her. 'Eye of the beholder? Save it. You don't even have eyes, Itz'.
Carol is in one of the labs with Hopper, and she tells him that it is the bottom of the ninth and the Sox aren't looking good, so she needs a hero – a Fenway Park miracle. Hopper is connecting some wires to a device, and tells Captain Marvel not to bring a sports metaphor to a nerd-fight. 'I thought baseball was universal' Carol tells him. Hopper then tells Carol to save the pep talk, as he was way ahead of her. 'Been working on this amplifier for days...' he explains. 'I wasn't pep talking you, Hop...  that pep was for me' Carol sighs. Hopper doesn't look up from the wires as he reminds Carol that Rogers was Captain America, so she wasn't the only one who didn't see it coming. 'But I'm the one who should have' Carol tells him. 'Oh, please. Does this self-loathing thing just come with the job?' Hopper enquires. 'Pretty much' Carol tells him.
Hopper then slams a fist on the table and puts a hand to his head, asking Carol if she wants to know something about feeling sorry for herself, about blaming herself for something. 'Huh?' Carol asks, confused. 'How about not telling someone how you felt when you had the chance?' Hopper asks. 'You mean...?' Carol begins. 'How about having that person taken from you with no warning?' Hopper asks, putting both hands to his head now. Carol looks at him as he adds 'How about having to figure out how to make a long-distance call across an interplanetary atmospheric shield...' 'Buddy' Carol tells him. '... just to say the one thing you couldn't say to her face' Hopper concludes. Carol puts her arms around Hopper's neck and tells him that they will find Wendy – she promises.
'Hold on, buddy. Not so fast. You got that whole comm-suite upgrade right before we left Wakanda, didn't you?' A'Di asks her droid. 'Meep meep meep meep meeeeep' Itz utters as it tries to break away from A'Di's grasp. 'So?' Dante enquires. 'Show me' Glory tells A'Di. 'You're the hardware person, Lady Leg-Guns. You tell me' A'Di replies, opening Itz up. Glory looks at some sort of control panel and replies tht  she is not all that up on Wakandan tech, but that it looks like they have the bare bones here. 'Meep!' Itz exclaims, to which A'Di tells her droid that it is an expression, and that it's bones are fine. Dante suggests that they could use Itz to patch into the Alpha Flight mainframe. Itz releases a series of “meeps” and A'Di tells it to stop. 'And if Itz is strong enough, maybe we could...' Glory begins. 'Meep!' the droid utters as it buzzes around the barracks. 'Just your signal, Itz... relax' A'Di tells it.
Itz then darts underneath A'Di's blanket which has fallen to the floor. 'Okay, then. It works or it doesn't. Only one way to find out...so we give it a shot and see what happens. Who's with me?' A'Di asks the others. 'Where's the main satellite?' Glory enquires. 'Where do you think? Where are all satellites?' Dante replies, smiling and pointing upwards. 'MEEEEEEP!' Itz exclaims.
Elsewhere aboard the AFSS, 'Come on...stupid hunk of junk...you gotta give me something...' Carol mutters as she taps away at a console. A photo of Wendy Kawasaki and Carol is taped to the screen. 'Cap. You wanted a report on the comms problem' a voice calls out, but Carol doesn't respond. 'Captain?' Sasquatch calls out as he and Puck approach her. Carol ignores the Alphans and mutters 'Come on, Wendy...you got this...' Carol mumbles, touching the photograph. 'Can we help, Caotain?' one of the Alphans asks. 'Yeah, stay alive' Carol tells them. 'Copy that, Captain'. Carol then puts the photo of her and Wendy into her sleeve, 'You, too Wen...' she remarks quietly, before asking Sasquatch and Puck what the situation is.
Hopper walks over to them and announces that the news is bad. He explains that he rigged up the amp and that it works fine, but their signal is not strong enough to get through the shield. Carol asks why not, and whether they can't just turn the amp up to 11, or something. 'Well, it's not that simple. See, the amps only part of the equation...' Hopper begins. He explains that by the time the message travels the more than 22,000 miles between Alpha Flight's position and the shield's surface, the signal has significantly degraded. He adds that by cranking the amp, he can boost the signal, but that the unique adaptive electro-harmonic property of the shield matching the modulation of the transmission then blocks them out. He reveals that what they need is a way to randomize the wave signature of their message at the last second while they broadcast the signal at maximum amplitude. 'Is this payback for the sport's metaphor, Hopper?' Carol mutters, before asking Puck to translate.
'Simply put, Cap, our only hope of getting a signal out is with a high-powered transmission relay. But we don't have any. We don't have much of anything. That was why Wendy went on a supply run in the first place' Puck replies.
At the same time, the Alpha Cadets are engaging their plan. Dante steals some some equipment while AFSS crew members are not looking, and Glory makes away with some space suits, while A'Di collects some other equipment while AFSS crew members patrol nearby. The three young Alpha Cadets then suit up in the space suits, ready for the next phase in their plan.
'Rogers... I'm gonna...' Carol begins. 'Break something?' Puck suggests as Carol slams her fist into the console, destroying it. Brand joins the group and asks if she has this straight: 'Without a relay, there's no phone-a-Wendy? No calling 9-1-1? No rescue party?' to which Hopper tells her there is nothing – nada – zippo. Suddenly, Puck motions to a console that has lit up and reports that there is incoming – another Chitauri wave. 'Already?' Sasquatch asks. 'All right. Let's get to it. Nothing except fighting hard and taking as many bugs with us as we can...' Carol begins, when suddenly, she notices the three Alpha Cadets through the viewscreen, where Glory propels herself space with her robotic legs, pulling Dante and A'Di behind her. 'What the -' Carol exclaims.
Outside: 'Look at that thing, The shield' Glory tells the others as she continues to hold them afloat in space, connected to them by a cable. 'It's really...everywhere' A'Di remarks as they stare down at the glowing force field that continues to encase the Earth. 'We are never getting home' Dante complains.
'Gonna wring those little necks!' Carol exclaims as she rushes down a corridor. She slams her fist onto a panel and a hatch opens to space. 'But first... I gotta save them!' Carol declares as she flies out into space.
The Alpha Cadets float over to the top of the Alpha Flight Space Station. 'Itz! Stop shaking! Your making my nose tickle!' A'Di tells her droid. 'Meep meep' Itz replies. Glory reports that the thrusters are off and she is switching to ambulatory. 'Awesome' A'Di tells her. 'Glory in her moment of glory' Dante remarks. 'Staaaahp' Glory tells her teammates. The trio walk along the top of AFSS, clinging to a rope. Dante tells the others that the satellites are just up ahead. 'Copy that, D-Boy' A'Di tells him. 'D-Boy?' Dante asks. 'Still working on it' A'Di replies, before asking Itz if it is ready to dave the day. Itz, still clinging to A'Di's back doesn't respond. Glory, leading the way, informs A'Di that there should be a port for Itz, if they can find it. They locate a panel and open it. Itz goes inside the panel and lets out a loud 'MEEEEEP!' to which A'Di tells it to calm down. 'You got this' she adds. 'What was that?' Dante asks where there is a strange noise. Glory grins and reports that she thinks it is working.
'Oh you think – you three are so -' Captain Marvel begins as she appears, hovering above the cadets. Suddenly, there is an alarm signal. 'I can't remember – is that the good sound or the not-good sound?' Dante asks. 'Not good! Not good!' A'Di replies. Carol tells the cadets to get down. 'No!' one of them tells her 'We can fight' another exclaims. 'We're sick of hiding' the third adds, while Carol turns and sees the next wave of Chitauri and their hideous monsters racing towards her. She flies forward and slams a fist into one of the monsters, while Glory starts firing blasts from her legs, and Dante knocks one of the aliens back with his sword, and A'Di drops down and, clinging to the rope, kicks one of the Chitauri. At that moment, Itz starts to transmit, and a voice can be heard: 'Hello? Hello? Alpha Flight? Do you copy... sir?' Carol looks startled: “Sir?” she repeats, before asking 'Wendy, is that you?'
'Captain! Watch – out!' one of the Alpha Cadets calls out as the the large Chitauri monster slams against her. 'Captain!' Dante exclaims. 'NO!' one of the others screams, as Captain Marvel crashes into an AFSS craft hovering nearby, causing it to explode. Carol falls onto the rubble of the craft as the Chitauri, including one of their large monsters, close in around her. 'Sir? Sir? Captain! What is going on up there?' Wendy's voice can be heard asking, while a shocked A'Di announces 'I...I think we killed the Captain!'

Band of Sisters, part 3
The hull of the Alpha Flight Space Station, where Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel has been slammed into a spacecraft, as the Chitauri aliens bear down on her, and the three Alpha Flight Cadets – Dante Cruz, Glory and A'Di, stare up at the danger that looms before them. Dante figures that they are dead. He never thought a Chitauri could drop the most powerful hero on Earth – not even a Chitauri mothership. 'Then again, if you told me a guy like Steve Rogers was gonna go  all Hydra...and grunts like us were gonna be holding the line on the Chitauri front? Wouldn't have believed it in a million years' Dante thinks to himself, deciding that it is going to be a long night.
Suddenly, there is a rumbling, as large weapons suddenly rise from the AFSS. 'Captain...' Dante calls out. 'Is she...?' A'Di asks. 'She's down!' Glory exclaims, before the large machine guns open fire. The cadets drop to the ground to avoid getting hit by the weapons-fire. 'Alfie's firing on us?' Glory asks. 'Alfie doesn't know us!' A'Di points out. 'Alfie thinks we're bugs!' Dante declares, while Lieutenant Wendy Kawasaki's voice is heard over a transmitter: 'Alpha Flight, do tyou copy? Repeat – Alpha Flight, do you copy?' she calls out.
'I'm hit!' Glory shouts as weaponsfire strikes one of her cybernetic legs. A'Di goes over to her drone, Itz, and tells it to duck. 'Meep!' Its responds, while Dante falls to the edge of the hull. 'I can't hold on!' he calls out as one of his hands slips and he hangs off the edge of the Alpha Flight Spacce Station. 'Carol, if hear this – I need to know you're all okay – you hear me? Carol, talk to me -' Wendy's voice can be heard saying over the transmitter. 'W-Wendy? Is that you?' Carol utters as she opens her eyes, blood trickling from her nose.
Nearby, a Chitauri alien lands on the hull, just feet from where Dante clings for his life. The alien rushes forward and leaps at Dante, who screams as the alien hisses and then chomps down on Dante's spacesuit helmet. Even with one leg injured, Glory rushes over to her teammate, telling him to hold on – but suddenly, her cybernetic legs run out of energy. Fortunately for Dante, he is able to kick the alien off of him. A'Di reaches down to Dante and tells him to grab her hand, while Itz hovers nearby, 'Wah-o' Itz utters repeatedly, as another Chitauri alien moves towards them – and as the alien prepares to bring down a spiked staff on A'Di, Itz flies in between them and is struck, instead – and an instant later, explodes.
'No no no... not like this...!' Dante utters as he continues to slip. 'Move, kid... let the adult handle this!' Captain Marvel exclaims as she races forward and grabs Dante, before snatching up A'Di and Glory, then slamming through another part of the hull, Carol and the Cadets are safe as they crash to the corridor. 'Do you know how many protocols you just broke?' Carol asks. 'What were you doing out there?' she demands. Dante explains that they tried to use Itz's relay to get a signal to Earth. Everyone looks over to where A'Di is sobbing, and holding her destroyed drone. Glory tells A'Di that Itz was a good drone, to which A'di replies 'Itz was a terrible drone, but he was my best friend'. Carol stands over the Cadets and tells them that it is a miracle that drone was the only casualty. 'It was all for nothing. It didn't even work' A'Di sobs. Carol puts an arm around A'Di and tells her that she isn't so sure about that.
Later, on the bridge, the Cadets hang back, while Captain Marvel stands over a console, and Lieutenant Commander Abigail Brand is at her side. A buzzing noise can be heard over the communications system, but Brand tells Carol that it has been an hour, and they should take a break. 'NO!' Carol shouts. 'We can't stop now!' she exclaims, telling everyone that she heard Wendy's voice out there, she is sure of it. 'If the Cadets really did rig a fix for out busted comm -' Carol begins, 'We did' A'Di announces solemnly. Dante swears that it works – at least, before Itz got smithereened. Glory explains that Itz took a direct hit, that his circuits are fried, his relay is toast, and she doesn't think they are going to be able to reach Earth again. Captain Marvel tells the Cadets that, apart from a flagrant disregard for Alpha Flight protocols, not to mention common sense, they showed some real initiative putting together that relay.
'We did?' A'Di asks. 'Absolutely' Carol tells her. 'When the chips were down, you turned it up. Heck, you even survived a battle with the Chitauri' she adds. 'Heck, yeah, we did!' Dante exclaims, while Carol tells everyone that they know now the shield isn't impenetrable. 'Not electro-magnetically' Glory points out. 'Exactly' Carol agrees. She instructs Glory to loop Hopper in on the Itz sitch and see if the two of them can't science together a way to bring that shield down. 'Got it. I'll hit the lab' Glory replies. Carol instructs her to take Itz with her, perhaps she and Hopper can find a way to fix him up. Carol orders the others to report to hangar 7.
Carol and Brand walk to an elevator, which opens as Brand asks 'Hangar 7? Now? You're gonna trust a bunch of cadets with billions of dollars in experimental tech and the fate of the world?' Carol ignores the question and via communicator instructs Puck and Sasquatch to get their squadrons ready to fly and meet Brand at Hangar 7. 'Hangar 7? Really? Yes, Sir! Be there in a jiff, Cap!' Puck responds. 'Two squadrons?' Brand queries Carol, reminding her that those ships aren't even battle-tested yet. 'Brand' Carol replies. But Brand continues: 'Say they do work – what then? We can't take the shield down when the Chitauri are still attacking -' 'Brand!' Carol snaps. Brand ignores Carol though, 'And we can't just ram our w-' Brand starts, before the elevator door opens and Carol tells Brand that she needs her to get those ships flight-ready and meet her on the  dark side of the moon. 'Trust me' Carol asks her. 'But -' Brand begins to protest. 'Are we having trust issues, Brand?' Carol enquires. 'I... no...' Brand responds as Carol marches down the corridor, as Carol tells her 'Good. I'll transmit details. Get those big birds flying!'
Carol arrives in the med-bay, where she finds Marcus Milton a.k.a. Hyperion standing over the motionless body of Avril Kincaid a.k.a. Quasar. Carol calls out to Hyperion, who responds 'Captain'. 'Nothing?' Carol asks. 'Not since we  last spoke' Hyperion tells her. Carol reminds herself that Quasar was hit hard during the initial attack – Hyperion would have taken the blow if not for her. Carol knows that Quasar is new to this, but is sure Quasar didn't hesitate. She is sure Hyperion feels responsible. 'I know I do...I helped build that shield, I kept the Chitauri invasion a secret. I played right into Steve's plan' Carol thinks to herself. Carol informs Hyperion that her cadets were able to make contact with Earth – it was brief, but it was something. 'A shot. Maybe. A chance to get through the shield and back in the fight. But we can't do it without -' Carol begins. Hyperion tells her that he is in, and asks how he can help. 'Have you ever been... fishing?' Carol enquires.
Shortly, two spacecraft hover over the dark side of the moon. Brand is in the one with Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch, A'Di and other Alpha Flight Space Station crew members, and tells them that she gets it, they are amped to finally have these babies out of the mysterious Hangar 7, but that they are not out here for a joyride. 'The Mark 1 Astro Carrier is untested. I expect you to respect that' Brand tells them, before reporting that they are about 40 clicks from the Chitauri fleets' last known position, while squadron Beta will continue on its current heading.
In the other vessel, Dante and Eugene Judd a.k.a. Puck watch a holographic transmission of Brand, who tells Puck that he and the Delta squadron will do the same in their quadrant. 'Roger that' Puck complies. Brand adds that when this thing starts, tit is going to happen fast. 'You know the drill. Everyone holds the line. Zero room for error'. Brand tells both groups that they are here because they are the best of the best, so they need to trust their instincts and make a real difference today. 'Copy that? Battle stations' Brand declares. 'Sir! Yes, Sir!' Puck and Dante respond. Dante then turns to Puck and asks him what a routine flanking manoeuver is going to do against the Chitauri fleet – and with only two ships. 'All that sneaking around Alfie and you never peeked at the schematics for the Mark 1?' Judd asks. He tells Dante to take a seat, and he will give him a crash course. 'Whoa' the wide-eyed Dante utters as he looks at a screen. 'Are those drones?' Dante enquires. 'Oh yeah. This ain't your mother's starship' Judd jokes, as floating around the two Mark 1 vessels are hundreds of AFSS drone jets.
Back on AFSS, in Hopper's lab, Glory sits on a bench as she uses a tool to make repairs to her cybernetic leg. 'How goes it, Glory?' Hopper asks as he looks over the remains of Itz. 'This? This is nothing, Hopper...a scratch' Glory claims, before asking how Itz is. 'Well, I saved his CPU and one arm...thing...' Hopper explains, adding that he hates to see A'Di's drone headed to the scrap creep. 'Wakandan drones are so freaking...' Hopper begins. 'Wakandan?' Glory asks, leaping off the bench. 'I was gonna say...cool' Hopper tells her. 'Speaking of cool tech, do you have a schematic for the interplanetary shield?' Glory asks. 'Over there' Hopper motions to some panels which Glory looks at and remarks 'That's ...interesting'. 'What?' Hopper asks her. 'The pattern of these frequencies' Glory tells him. Hopper goes wide-eyed and tells Glory that she is a genius. 'Maybe don't sound so surprised' Glory replies casually.
Inside one of the Mark 1 vessels Sasquatch informs Lieutenant Brand that they have got incoming. 'Look alive, folks! This is it!' Brand calls out, before asking Puck if his crew is set. 'Good to go, Lieutenant' Puck replies from the other vessel. 'It's showtime, kids!' Puck tells Dante and the rest of his squadron. Brand looks out her view screen and sees Captain Marvel and Hyperion carrying one of the huge Chitauri monster vessels. 'Holy crap, Danvers! I thought you said you had a plan to save the Earth, not drag the enemy to our doorstep!' she exclaims. Captain Marvel and Hyperion drop the monster onto the dark side of the moon, and Carol remarks that she figured it was their turn to take the offense and go after these bugs. 'And Brand, if my pops taught me anything, it's that if you're striving for a big catch, you need the right bait. Now put up that net!' Carol declares. 'Aye, aye, Captain!' A'Di and Dante respond as they tap away at their consoles.
An instant later, all of the AFSS jets hovering about in space are suddenly all connected by a grid that extends from the moon. 'Here they come, people!' Captain Marvel reports. Four large Chitauri monsters fly towards Captain Marvel and Hyperion. 'I got him!' Dante shrieks over the communications system as he blasts one of the monsters. 'I got him! I got him!' Dante grins. 'Great, kid. Don't get cocky' Carol tells him, while Hyperion fires a blast at one of the other monsters, 'For Quasar!' he shouts. Sasquatch looks concerned as he warns Captain Marvel that she has a nasty coming her way at top speed. 'Got 'em, 'Squatch' Carol smiles as she fires a powerful energy blast at the monster's face. Blue energy beams start to strike the Chitauri aliens, and A'Di reports that it looks like they are starting to retreat. 'Carol! If they escape, this was all for nothing!' Brand exclaims. Smacking one Chitauri in the face while firing a blast at another, Carol tells Brand that she is a little tied up.
Suddenly, the source of the blue energy beams is revealed, as the Guardians of the Galaxy return. 'Somebody call for the cavalry?' Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord asks. 'I am Groot!' baby Groot smiles, while Rocket Racoon asks 'Yeah! Why'd you start without us?' America Chavez smirks and tells Star-Lord that it only counts as cavalry when you're not expected – not when you are part of the plan. 'Either way, I'm glad to see you' Carol tells Star-Lord, before suggesting they gut these fish and get back home for supper. 'Blam! Murdered ya!' Rocket exclaims as he fires his ship's arsenal at one of the Chitauri monsters.
Shortly, Captain Marvel, Sasquatch, Puck, Brand, Hyperion, Dante, A'Di, Star-Lord, Groot and Rocket are back inside AFSS. 'Oh, man! That was incredible!' 'Like, full-on hero stuff!' A'Di agrees. Hopper and Glory join the others, and Hopper announces 'Carol, we think we figured it out...well...Glory figured it out'. Glory smiles as she reports that it was a team effort, actually, and that Itz was the key. Shocked, A'Di asks Glory if she was able to fix him, and where he is. Glory apologizes and tells A'Di that Itz was just too damaged, but that his oscillator was still functional. Hopper explains that they figured out a way to retrofit it with AFSS' main laser cannon, so if they can use it to alter the frequency of the blast, they should be able to punch a hole in the shield. 'Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let's phone home' Carol exclaims.
Shortly, the AFSS projects a laser beam towards the shield that separates it from Earth. 'It's working!' someone exclaims. 'Cap, I think we might want to back off. This is really taxing the...generators' someone reports, as the AFSS is suddenly plunged into darkness. Carol asks Puck for a status report, and the diminutive Alphan informs her that it looks like they are down to life support only, with the generator's on its last leg. '...foot... more of a toe, actually' Puck adds. Carol calls out to Hopper, who hangs his head and tells Carol that it didn't work, that the shield is still up, and it was their last hope. 'You did your best, Hop. I -' Carol starts to reply, when suddenly, 'I am Groot!' Groot exclaims as he stands on Rocket's shoulders and points at a monitor. 'Sorry to butt in on the bad-news party...but Groot wants to know what this big cluster of blippy things headed toward this star-shaped blippy thing means' Rocket announces.
Puck looks at the radar and asks Carol how this is possible, as they obliterated them. 'I dunno, Puck' Carol replies, before informing everyone that the Chitauri fleet must have been much bigger than they thought. 'We're in for a long night...and this time there's no backup' Carol points out as her team gathers around her, while in the infirmary, Quasar continues to lie motionless, hooked up to life support.

Band of Sisters, part 4
'Spectrum, watch your six! Hyperion, pick 'em off! America, you got two more bugs on approach -' Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel calls out to her allies as she fires a blast of energy in Earth's orbit, where she and other heroes are trapped, fighting the alien Chitauri. 'Only two?' America Chavez responds as she slams a fist into one of the aliens' faces. 'Perhaps she meant 22' Hyperion suggests as he blasts one of his opponents with eye beams. 'Like these last 22 times you got your butt handed to you?' Monica “Spectrum” Rambeau calls out as she hovers, energy at the ready to strike another blow. Two space jets fire weapons at the aliens. Inside one of them, Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord exclaims 'Oh yeah. This time we're definitely the cavalry!' to which Eugene Milton Judd a.k.a. Puck remarks 'Hey, I thought we were the cavalry -', but Star-Lord replies 'You two? Nah, you're more like the calves, Puck'.
Carol thinks to herself that Quill is right – if not for the Guardians and the Ultimates, Alpha Flight would have fallen out of the sky weeks ago, and as long as Steve Rogers keeps the planetary defense shield up, they are trapped outside the Earth's atmosphere, right between the Chitauri and their Chitauri-bait of a queen, somewhere down on Earth. 'Not exactly where you want to hang out... not unless you've got a thing for literal losing battles' Carol decides. She looks at her company and knows that she has got to find a way to keep going.
On the hull of the Alpha Flight Space Station, the three Alpha Flight Cadets – Dante Cruz, Glory and A'Di – have joined the battle, with A'Di sitting in a large machine-gun type weapon, blasting it at the enemy. Dante fires a hand gun, while Glory fires blasts from her cybernetic legs. Carol decides that she is calling it. 'So much for D-Day. This is C-Day' she jokes to herself, thinking that the day the Carol Corps makes it final push – because that shield must come down. Suddenly, Carol flies into one of the large Chitauri monsters, and out the other side, leaving a gaping, bloody alien mess in her wake.
Later, on the AFSS deck, America and Spectrum stand together, while Lt Cmdr Abigail Brand sits at a console. Puck and Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch are near here, while Star-Lord sits on some steps with Rocket Racoon and Baby Groot. 'You brought what on my ship, Rocket? When were you gonna tell me?' Quill asks. Rocket throws an arm up and tells Quill that it is no big deal, to which Baby Groot remarks 'I am Groot'. Rocket tells Groot not to start, and points out  that they are all alive. Carol walks onto the deck and tells everyone that they did good work out there. 'Was it?' Monica asks, and America points out that it is getting hard to tell. 'Hey, take the win. I always do' Rocket tells the others.
'It is a win. At least, it will be. The Chitauri are getting desperate. If we stay the course, we'll push them off for good' Carol explains 'What course?' America asks, and Star-Lord agrees that America has a point. 'How do we know we'll push them off for good?' he asks. Monica suggests that maybe it is time to start considering other options, to which Carol turns to her and snaps that their mission is to protect Earth, and they are not giving up on that. Monica frowns at Carol and tells her that she agrees, but asks what happens if they can't defeat the Chitauri, what if they can't penetrate the shield – they need time to regroup and gather their strength. 'We don't have that kind of time. Neither does Earth' Carol replies. Monica explains that she isn't saying it would be forever, but she thinks they should be seriously exploring the idea of establishing a colony.
'A colony? What about everyone back at home? How does us running away to play house on some new planet help them?' Hopper shouts angrily. 'Hopper, chill. I didn't mean...' Monica starts to reply, but Hopper interrupts her: 'What did you mean?' he snaps. 'Just that we should be realistic...' Monica explains. 'And forget about whatever Captain Hydra's doing down there? You might now have anyone that you care about there, but some of us do...' Hopper declares, before Carol tells him to come on, but he interrupts her: 'No. You're supposed to be the heroes. I'm just supposed to be the nerd in the lab. I don't know how this whole thing got so messed up. I just know how heroes act, and they don't run!' Hopper exclaims, to which Carol reminds him that nobody has settled on a plan. 'The world counts on you people. You're supposed to save us. You should all be ashamed!' Hopper tells them. Star-Lord, Sasquatch, Monica and America all look unimpressed, but Carol tells Hopper that is enough. 'Sorry...I don't know what came over me...' Hopper mutters, before excusing himself. Carol tells Monica and America that she wants them to come with her, while Baby Groot utters 'I am Groot', and is knocked over as Rocket grins and elbows Groot in the side: 'You said it, Groot. And I thought our crew was dysfunctional'.
Shortly, Carol, Monica and America walk into Carol's office, as Monica points out that the only thing resembling a bright spot is America's ability to do inter-dimensional supply runs, which brings her to the next subject – relocation possibilities. Monica remarks that it is obvious no other planets in their universe are going to do them any favors at this point, some of the other realities that America can access are more welcoming. 'It's true. You ever wanna live in a reality that's a musical? 'cause I can get you there' America jokes. 'No' Carol replies. Monica asks Carol to hear them out, but Carol frowns and tells Monica to listen to her, and slamming her fists down on a table remminds the others that they were charged with a mission to protect Earth from this Chitauri invasion, to defend their little piece of the stars.
'What happens if that shield comes down as a wave is approaching? Do we just trust Hydra to take care of it? I want to be ready and on guard like I swore an oath to be' Carol continues, telling Monica and America to make their decisions, but that she will not leave her post. 'I am Captain Marvel of the Alpha Flight Space Program – and I will not abandon ship' she announces, before leaving the bewildered Monica and America in her office as she walks away.
Later, in the med bay, Carol sits at the side of Avril Kincaid a.k.a. Quasar. 'You were supposed to be our lifeline. Our last chance to overcome this...' Carol remarks, and taking Avril's hand, tells her that these people need that, that they volunteered for this mission and don't deserve to die up here in this vacuum, cut off from everything they love. 'Even if I do' Carol mutters, hanging her head, her hair hanging over her face, Carol remarks that every minute they are trapped up here, every man, woman and child that suffers  or dies at Hydra's hand, she is responsible for that, and now, all she can do is sit up here and wait, to look at all the damage she has done and wait for her chance to try and make things right. 'But I can't do that without you' Carol calls out, looking over at Avril, revealing the tears that stream down her face. 'You get that, agent? You're Quasar now – you're supposed to be the Protector of the Universe – so prove it!' Carol exclaims, telling Avril to get out of this bed and help her fix this. 'Do you hear me? I need you to wake up...?'
Dante, A'Di and Glory enter a lab where Brand is working with the Blue Marvel. A panel is displayed before them, and Dante asks 'What's that? Anything we can help with?' he enquires. Brand tells the youngsters that she knows Danvers gives them a lot of latitude, but that in case they haven't noticed, things are a little rough around here at the moment, and this isn't really intern stuff. 'That's good because we're not interns...we're Cadets' A'Di declares. 'Alpha Cadets' Glory adds. Dante points out that they don't just sit around making friendship bracelets – they have seen combat. Glory adds that A'Di gave up her drone to make contact with the Earth. 'Glory has guns for her legs' A'Di remarks. 'Duly noted' Brand replies.
Glory looks at the panel and asks if they are flight patterns. Brand confirms that they are flight patterns and that she has been trying to make sense of exactly how and when the bugs attack. 'That's strange' Glory remarks. 'It's not strange. I'm trying to find a strategy to take them out' Brand replies. 'No, I mean the data progression' Glory adds, asking Dante and A'Di if they see what she does. Dante points out that at first glance, the attacks seem random, while A'Di tells Brand to look at the flight trajectories. 'Hmm. Not bad' Brand replies. Blue Marvel smiles and tells Brand that he will find them a console.
Elsewhere, Carol enters Hopper's workshop and asks him if he wants to talk. Tinkering with some machinery on a table, Hopper tells Carol that he doesn't. 'Not optional' Carol replies. Hopper admits that he feels like he failed everyone – Carol, the crew, everyone on Earth. 'Because you're a super hero whose only job is to be the Earth's last line of defense? Oh, wait. That's me' Carol replies. 'Because you gave me an assignment and I couldn't do it' Hopper admits. 'Tell me about it' Carol mutters. Hopper stands up and sighs, telling Carol that if Wendy were here, she would have gotten the shield down. Carol sighs and laments that she let Hydra Steve into manipulating her into building it in the first place. Hopper supposes that Wendy is probably in some Hydra prison, and Carol remarks that is where Captain Stevil deserves to be. 'I can't give up on her, Carol. I just...can't' Hopper declares, to which Carol tells Hopper that she can't give up on the planet – can't and won't.
They head out into the corridor and Carol announces that they are not going to run, that they are going to give this thing all they have got – but she needs Hopper in the fight with her, for Wendy and for Earth. 'What do you say, Hop? Can I count you in?' Carol asks. Hop tellls Carol  that he was never out, before asking why he feels like he has to say “Good Cap” now. Walking towards the lab where Brand and the Blue Marvel are, Carol knows that she can't tell them to believe in the impossible – all she can do is tell them that she believes in them – because she does. Carol tells Brand, Blue Marvel and the Alpha Cadets that their odds are terrible, their prospects worse, and that they got to solve not one but two unsolvable problems. 'And it's not just my duty, but my honor to face them with you' Carol announces. As bodies of Chitauri aliens float through space, Carol points out that, first, they have to stop the Chitauri and that there is no way the AFSS is going to survive another attack – and also no way the aliens are getting past them.
'About that... the Cadets and I may have found something' Brand reports. Dante informs Captain Marvel that analysis of the bugs' flight patterns shows that they are converging on a specific location on Earth. 'Less like an attack. More like a...migration' Glory explains. 'The Chitauri queen? You've found her?' Carol asks urgently. 'Possibly' A'Di replies. 'Probably' Dante remarks. Glory informs Carol that they are still trying to pinpoint the exact coordinates but they have found the Chitauri eggs. Blue Marvel confirms that he has corroborated the Cadet's math, and the numbers work. Folding her arms, Carol tells them that if that is true, then they only have one unsolvable problem – how do they get that shield down? Gamora, Rocket and Star-Lord have joined them in this room, but no one has anything to say. 'Really? No one's got anything new?' Carol asks, stating that no idea is too crazy, no plan too risky – whatever they have, they throw it at that shield – and now.
'Uh, 'scuse me, Captain Marvel? Now that crazy and risky are on the table, we may finally have something to offer' Star-Lord calls out. 'Aren't you supposed to be -' Captain Marvel begins, but Star-Lord tells her that they got tired of running around the universe asking for help. 'Specially once we realized it'd be a lot easier and a helluva lot more fun – to just steal you some' Rocket exclaims, projecting a hologram into the room. 'What am I looking at?' Carol asks. 'You like bombs, right?' Rocket replies, announcing that they brought some bombs that they stole, like this one, a nullifier bomb. Carol admits that is a helluva payload and asks where the delivery system is. 'That's the expensive part, boss – you're standing in it' Star-Lord explains.
Shortly, The Guardians of the Galaxy are placing the bombs down a corridor, while Captain Marvel's voice is heard on the AFSS communications system, announcing that this is a red alert. She appears thoughout the station as a hologram and reports that all personnel are ordered to proceed to the nearest out craft and evacuate the station. She adds that this is mandatory and not a drill. Carol adds that, with a heavy heart,  she has determined that their best course of action is to set the station on self-destruct and put it on a collision course with the planetary shield. From the escape vessel that Carol and the Alpha Cadets are in, Carol tells the crew that as they leave behind their home in space, what is left of it, she wants them to know that serving with them has been the greatest honor of her career.
The Alpha Cadets look out the window, as Carol remarks that some of them have only been members of Alpha Flight for a short time, while back onboard AFSS, Sasquatch and Puck aare setting more boms, as Carol adds that others of them have been with her since the beginning. Hyperion, Spectrum, America and Blue Marvel look out at the AFSS from their escape vessel as Carol announces 'Between us, we've saved the world more times than I can count, and more than anyone down there will ever know'. While Quasar continues to lie motionless, Carol adds that they have sacrificed so much, and through it all, they have helped her grow as their commander, fellow soldier and as their friend. Star-Lord, Gamora and Rocket join Carol, who continues her speech: 'I'd tell you to go out there and make me proud but you already have. So, I'll just say see you back in the Big Apple, and the first pappaya dog is on me...'.
Carol adds that unless someone else around here has a billion-dollar space station to blow up, they have only one shot, so they need to make it count. The Alpha Flight Space Station plummets towards the shield surrounding Earth...and moments later, slams into it, creating a huge explosion that destroys Alpha Flight Space Station. Caol asks Puck to give her some good news, but Puck, sitting at a window nearby, looking out into space, doesn't answer. 'It worked, Cap. Trust me' Rocket calls out. 'Trust you?' Carol retorts. 'This once' Rocket grins, adding that those charges had enough juice to destroy half a planet. 'Half a planet? What sized planet? Microscopia? Looks like your nullifier bomb was a dud...' Brand declares. Rocket remarks that it is a good thing he stole it, otherwise he would want his money back, as it didn't even put a dent in the shield.
The Alpha Cadets continue to look out at Earth as Brand tells Captain Marvel that their hail Mary looks more like a hell nary – or a hello Larry – a hell no – or a hard pass. 'You waited until now to try to make a joke, Lieutenant?' Rocket asks, looking unimpressed. 'Despair makes me funny' Brand explains, 'That was funny?' Rocket exclaims. 'It's despair' Brand explains. 'Awaiting further orders, Captain' a voice calls out. Hopper looks forlorn, while Carol looks at a photo of Wendy Kawasaki, and thinks 'Orders? That was out last hope. There's only one thing to do'. She quietly tells Wendy that she is sorry, Carol touches her communicator and tells America that they should start talking about the other dimensions she spoke of. Suddenly, 'Excuse me, Ma'am? Before you do that...I think I might be able to help' Quasar smiles as she appears before the others, holding her side and leaning against a wall.
'Nothing like a ninth inning surprise' Carol grins, before telling everyone that they heard Quasar and to get to their stations. The crew members get back to their battle stations, while Carol asks Avril if she is sure she is up to this. Avril replies that she has been out of the fight too long, before asking Carol what it was she said – 'You can't do this without me' Avril smirks. 'You heard me?' Carol asks. Avril tells her that it is strange, but that the entire time she was out, she swears she could hear her voice calling her back, and that is what kept her fighting – she knew she was needed. As Quasar flies from the escape pod out into space, she hovers before the planetary defense shield and unleashes a powerful blast of cosmic energy. Carol thinks to herself that Avril knew she could make a difference, that she said she inspired her and promised not to let her down. Quasar begins to glow, and suddenly, is shunted backwards through space. 'AVRIL, NO!' Carol screams as the shield cracks and shatters. 'The shield is down. But Avril... Quasar... she's gone' Carol thinks to herself.
Carol flies through space 'Get me the coordinates of those eggs! On the double Q! We've gotta find them before the Chitauri swarm arrives!' Carol orders. 'Copy that, Captain. Relaying now' one of her crew responds. Carol tells herself that she has no time to mourn – they save the world now, or there is no moree time. Carol arrives back on Earth, at a large farmhouse, and supposes that Roger must have stashed the eggs somewhere around the farm. At that moment, one of the crew reports that the Chitauri swarm is two klicks out. Carol comes across the eggs in the greenhouse, as her crew report that the Chitauri are one klick away and approaching. 'One... two... Rogers, this is for you...' Carol utters as she throws a bomb at the Greenhouse, destroying it, and the Chitauri eggs inside.
'Captain? You all right?' one of the crew asks. 'Better than. Those eggs. They're... pretty scrambled' Carol reports back, before the crew announces that the Chitauri swarm is breaking up. 'Good win, team. Just one thing left to take care of...' Carol replies, before asking Puck if he can open a secure emergency line to Wendy. 'Already done, Cap' Judd responds. 'This is Captain Marvel hailing Little Alpha. Come in, Little Alpha. Repeat, this is Captain Marvel hailing Little Alph-' Carol calls out through the communicator, as Wendy calls back 'Carol? Is that really you? I can't believe it!' Caol wipes back a tear and tells Wendy that she is back. 'I can't tell you how good it is to hear your voice, Sir' Wendy responds. Carol exclaims that good doesn't begin to describe it, and asks Wendy what her twenty is, adding that she is coming to bring her home.
Later, on the hills of West Virginia, Wendy Kawasaki leans against a wooden fence, and tells Captain Marvel that she didn't mean to go AWOL on her. 'AWOL? If it weren't for you...f or the message you sent... I might have died out there. You saved me. You saved all of us' Carol replies.
Wendy assures Carol that she never gave up on her, and knew if she made contact that Carol would come. 'I'm just sorry for the holdup. We had a little... bug problem' Carol explains. One of the escape vessels lands on the field nearby and Wendy asks if it is their ride back to AFSS. 'Um, about that...' Carol begins. 'About what?' Wendy asks. 'Friends are family, right? So, in a way, friends are home, right? Is that a saying? Kind of ?' Carol replies. 'Did something happen to Alphie...?' Wendy asks, shocked. Carol smiles and tells her that is not important now, and thinks to herself that this little reunion, this little family, that is what it is all about. 'Hey, Wendy...these are, uh, for you...' Hopper announces as he walks to Wendy, holding a bunch of flowers. 'Wait, what? Oh, oh, Hop!' Wendy gushes. 'That's good, right?' Hopper asks. Puck and Sasquatch stand nearby, while the Alpha Cadets are gathered togewther.
Carol thinks that this is what Rogers almost took from her – from the world. He tried to use hate and fear to take their future – but they came together and found hope in each other – they took back what was theirs. Glory puts her arms around Dante and A'Di, and Carol flies away with a very determined look on her face, thinkng that they will never let this go again.

Girls' Night
New York City, Earth. Not space. 'See the moon? Now... a little to the left? That's where my home used to be' Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel remarks as she looks up into space, holding her fingers on the outside of the moon. 'I mean, before it blew up' Carol adds as she lies on top of the Statue of Liberty. '...to bring down a planetary shield, evade an alien horde, destroy their queen and help take down Stevil Knievel?' Jessica Drew a.k.a. the original Spider-Woman and one of Carol's best friends points out. 'You did what you had to do. #worthit' Jessica Jones, another of Carol's best friends, agrees, while looking at her phone. 'Yeah? I wonder if Natasha thought so' Carol remarks. 'She did what she had to do' Jessica Jones declares.
Carol tells the Jessicas that she has mourned too many friends – they all have, to which Jessica Jones tells her to get off the pity train, as the Black Widow would be offended. 'She'd tell you to go find a not-blown-up-yet space station and a slightly-less-destroyed-by-a-dark-dimension apartment' Jessica Drew remarks. Carol sighs and points out that Rogers managed to turn the whole world upside down – no Alpha Flight, no SHIELD. 'Still got me, Kirk' Jessica Drew adds. 'Can't crash at your place forever, Spock' Carol replies. 'Hello. Babysitting?' Jessica Drew exclaims. 'I can watch the little squid sometime, Jess' Jessica Jones offers. 'Heh' Drew laughs. 'Excuse me? What's so funny?' Jessica Jones replies. 'Anyways... c'mon, Danvers! This is your first bit of downtime in what, years? Quit moping! Let's have some fun!' Jessica Drew exclaims.
The next day at the Brooklyn Boxing Club. 'Seriously, who wouldn't want me as a babysitter?' Jessica Jones asks. Jessica Drew frowns and tells her to let it go, to which Carol asks if they can get to the boxing already, as she needs to get some feelings out – and she is a little short on asteroids to punch. Carol and Jessica Drew begin punching boxing bags that hang from the ceiling, while Jessica Jones punches the instructor before her, 'Ow! Ow! OW!' he exclaims, before Jones declares that she would be a great babysitter, as she can paralyze a man with one knuckle. 'I'd stop right there' Carol suggests. 'And that's just when I'm sober' Jones adds. 'Nope. Not helping' Jessica Drew points out, before Jessica Jones begins slamming her fist repeatedly into the instructor, who screams 'OW HEY OWW WAIT OWWW!'
Later that night, at Jessica Drew's apartment, Carol and the Jessicas sit around a  table with Wendy Kawasaki and Monica “Spectrum” Rambeau. Carol's Flerken cat, Chewie, is sprawled out on the table, covering playing cards, while pizza boxes and cans are scattered across the table, too. 'Not saying I'm Mary Poppins, but why trust Danvers with your pup and not me?' Jones asks 'Carol kept her Alpha Cadets safe through a Chitauri space war. You...probably poured beer on your cereal this morning' Drew points out. 'And?' Jones asks, while Carol stifles a laugh. 'That's a joke, right? Sher's joking?' Monica asks. 'Huh?' Wendy replies, not paying attention, she has been focused on her cards. 'What's the buy-in? Are you capping bets? How do you feel about counting cards?' Wendy exclaims. Monica looks unimpressed as she tells Wendy that the buy-in is pizza and that she is capped at five slices. 'I can't believe you know how to count cards, nerd' Monica frowns. Wendy shuffles the cards in her hand and winks, claiming that she is feeling lucky – like cheese-in-the-crust lucky'.
Jessica Drew tells the other Jessica that it is nothing personal. 'You know that saying, “You're a fighter, not a lover”?' she adds. 'Yeah, that's not a saying' Carol points out. 'Dude, kicking butts doesn't mean you can't wipe one...' Jessica Jones exclaims. 'Eww' Carol mutters, while Jessica Drew goes wide-eyed and asks 'Did Jessica Jones just offer to change my kid's poopy diaper?' Jessica Jones declares that it is the principle of the thing and asks 'What's the point of the fight if you don't have some kind of life worth fighting for...?' to which Carol asks her 'What is up with you tonight?' 'Seriously...' Monica frowns. 'Eww' Wendy adds.
But Carol knows that Jones wasn't actually talking about poopy diapers – she knew what she was saying, even if Jones didn't know how  to say it. She was talking about love and loss – the inescapable truth known to all heroes and soldiers. Every moment they loved someone they were also silently counting down to the moment they lost them – there were no gaurantees. Random bullets flew. Space stations exploded. Hala children changed you – or left you. There are some heroes, like Rogers, who would disappoint you, others like Avril Kincaid, would surprise you. Carol thinks that if they wore their hearts on their sleeves, they also wore a target on their hearts – love would save them, or kill them – probably both. Because the truth is, good guys lost as much as they won, and a sunrise never promised you a sunset. Carol knows that people like she and Jones would always be stuck outside one kind of planetary shield or another – no matter where they went in the galaxy. 'I knew that. The thing I didn't know qas how much I cared...or how alone I felt...' Carol tells herself, while thinking of Bean, Mar-Vell, Rhodey, Avril Kincaid, Tony Stark, Captain America, the Black Widow and Jessica Jones.
Inside the nursery within Jessica Drew's apartment, Drew's baby, Gerry Drew, is asleep in his crib, while Carol lies on the floor, Chewie curled up near her, Carol twists: 'No... no no no no – I can't' Carol mutters, before sitting up and looking at Chewie, telling the Flerken that she is trying. Carol then sighs, before putting on a sweater and heading outside for a run, thinking that there are only so many melatonin gummies a person can chew, or miles she can run before she has to face what she is running from.
The next day, at the Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University. Carol, Wendy and Jessica Drew are inside a lab and stand around a hologram of space. With them are Lieutenant Commander Abigail Brand, Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch, Eugene Judd a.k.a. Puck and the three Alpha Cadets – Dante Cruz, Glory and A'Di, with a rebuilt drone, Itz. 'So what are you saying?' Dante asks. 'We can't go back into orbit?' A'Di enquires. 'Like, ever?' Glory exclaims. Carol explains that she is saying that it is not going to be easy. Abigail Brand remarks that, after losing Alpha Flight, they have a lot of rebuilding to do. 'So let's do it!' Puck exclaims. Wendy reminds him that they were strapped for resources even before the Chitauri war, to which Sasquatch points out that has never stopped them. Carol runs a finger through the hologram, and knows that she can't tell them the truth – it's not that they couldn't go back – it was that she didn't know if she wanted to. She wonders if it is finally time she thought about life here on Earth, before it ended while she was still alone – like Romanoff. Carol leaves the Institute, while the Alpha Cadets watch her go.
Later, 'No. No way. Not a chance' Carol declares as she holds her phone and looks at a dating app - “Cloak & Dater – Supes Edition” for verified super heroes, only. 'You can at lewast try this' one of the Jessicas suggests, taking a photo of Carol, which is not a very good one, but shows up as her profile pic on the dating app. 'I said I was lonely. I didn't say I was desperate' Carol reminds her friends. 'Tomato, tomato' Jessica Jones replies, while Carol struggles to get the phone off Jessica Drew. 'You mean “Tomato, tomahto” now cut it out!' Carol snaps. 'Who says tomahot? That's just stupid' Jones points out, while Drew snorts with laughter. 'Gimme this phone. This is taking too long' Jones declares, reaching over the others and grabbing the phone.
Jessica Jones starts to flick through the app, 'Is that Tony Stark... or his A.I...?' she asks as Tony Stark appears on the app. 'Eww, no. Wait, what? Stark uses a dating app?' Carol asks. 'Oh, wait -' Jessica Drew remarks as she reads out the small print: “Heroes represented may not be representative of actual clientele”. 'What a scam!' Jessica exclaims. Jessica Jones tells her that they are just messing around, while they move to the next photo, of Steve Rogers. “Loves swing dancing and drive-in movies” Jessica Drew reads. 'Yeah, right' she mutters. 'These are ridiculous. You realize there's no way...' Carol begins, before Jessica Jones reads Odinson's profile: “An Asgardian love god?” she calls out, while Jessica Drew snorts with laughter, while Carol tells her friends '...that I'm actually going on a legit dating app...'. Jessica Drew grins and makes her fingers into claws, 'Me-Owww' she jokes as T'Challa's image appears on the app. 'Not now and not ever...' Carol rolls her eyes. The next photo is of Peter Quill, giving a cheesy smile and pointing his fingers. “Loves classic rock...” Jessica Jones reads. 'I'm outta here' Carol tells her friends.
‘What part of “I'm out” do you people not understand? Also: bowling' Carol tells the Jessicas as they sit on a sofa within the bowling alley as Carol holds a bowling ball up. 'Try thinking of them as small asteroids' Jessica Drew suggests. Jessica Jones looks at her phone and reports 'He's here'. 'Who's here?' Carol asks, worried. 'Your date' Jessica Drew smirks. 'Date? I never agreed to any of this' Carol replies. 'Yeah, that's why we lied' Jones replies casually. 'Like a rug' Drew tells her. 'Um, Carol...?' a voice calls out. Carol goes wide-eyed as she finds that voice familiar. She doesn't turn around, but an image of the Tony Stark A.I. appears, holding champagne, Carol knows that it is not him, he would be laughing already. Captain America appears next, holding flowers, but Carol knows it isn't him, as he wouldn't show his face. Odinson is next, but Carol realizes that he isn't that smart at smartphones. The Black Panther appears next, but Carol decides that he isn't really the bowling type. 'Am I supposed to be in this montage? Because you don't usually montage about me, Danvers... Danvers?' Star-Lord exclaims.
'YOU!?' Carol shouts, wide-eyed as she turns around and discovers a man in a red and blue costume, holding wine, flowers and chocolates in his hands. “Hero Man?” Carol asks. 'Your favorite hero / star of “Cap'n Marvel”!' the actor exclaims. 'Thought you got cancelled?' Jessica Drew asks. The actor explains that they just moved to public access – changed the format up a little now with more...puppets. 'Here, hold these' the actor tells Carol as he shoves the gifts into her arms. 'Um...' Carol frowns, before the actor brings out a puppet of “Cap'n Marvel” and exclaims “Hi boys and girls! I'm Cap'n Marvel! The Earth's first and last line of defense...”. Carol drops the gifts and runs from the bowling alley, still carrying her bowling ball. 'Should I...you know...go -' Hero Man asks. 'Yes' Drew tells him. 'Definitely' Jones agrees. '...after her?' Hero Man asks. 'She's...we're good' Jones then declares.
'I can't believe that just happened' Carol thinks as she shuffles down an empty street, eventually coming to a delic, she sighs and enters, going to the freezer, she grabs several tubs of ice cream. 'Girls; bowling night? They send you for the rocky road?' the cashier asks. 'My friends pretty much are the rocky road' Carol scowls. 'Yeah, I'm all about my career' the cashier replies. 'I feel you, buddy' Carol tells him, while a man with a hooded sweater enters, then raises a gun and shouts 'Nobody move! Now – open the register and gimme all your cash!' he orders. 'Bowling league?' the cashier asks. 'Nah. Bowling for...collars' Carol tells him, before she slams the bowling ball into the thief's face. 'You might wanna calls the cops. I gotta jet...' Carol tells the cashier.
Outside, Carol drops the bowling ball and tells herself to get it together as she takes to the air and flies skyward. 'Hero Man? He's nobody, just a fake hero...from the fake Alpha Flight show...' Carol thinks, as her shoes fall from her feet. She flies higher and higher, into space, reminding herself that she only did the show to pay off the space station which she then ignited like a can of highly flammable bug spray. She closes her eyes and wonders when everything got so out of control. 'Was it just Rogers?' Carol asks herself, as she imagines herslf fighting with Steve Rogers, imagining what she could have done to stop him, every time she closes her eyes. She tells herself that she was supposed to be the Earth's first and last line of defense, but when the time came for her to do her job, what use was she? In her imagination, she holds Steve Rogers up, then headbutts him and breaks his shield over his head. 'Rogers was my responsibility. Captain to Captain. I should have handled it...not Romanoff' Carol realizes, hanging her head as she has a vision of the Hydra Captain America slamming his shield into the Black Widow, killing her.
Carol lands on the moon and looks down over Earth, deciding that she fails and fails and keeps on at it. She wonders why she bothers, as she didn't save the world from anything – Alpha Flight is gone and she is not so good at the whole Earth thing any more. Suddenly, 'Bean? Is that you...?' Carol asks, as the glowing blue life-force form of the Hala child, Bean, appears, hovering before Carol. 'Carol...Bean...' the girl calls out. 'I was starting to think I'd lost you for good...but maybe I'm just feeling lost myself' Carol tells Bean, asking her if she knows what she means. 'Carol?' Bean smiles. 'I'm not sure where my life is supposed to be...or who I even am, if you take away the uniform and Alpha Flight' Carol remarks, realizing that she knows she is talking to a guilt-induced hallucination.
'I feel...lost' Carol admits. 'Carolllll....Bean feels lost...Carollll...' the Bean hallucination utters. 'You can really hear me? Where are you?' Carol asks. 'Lost...far away' Bean replies. Carol suggests that perhaps she isn't Earth's last defense, maybe she is meant to be Bean's – a Hala kid, a blue Kree, the other side of her life. 'How about that, Bean? How about instead of being lost, you and me find each other...?' Carol asks, and, hovering beside her, Bean – hallucination or life-force projection – replies 'Find Bean, Carol. Find Bean...'.

Morlocks Initiation
At night, police officers in Chicago are answering a call. One officer, Garretti, goes to investigate and finds a white-haired woman with glowing eyes and a giant cockroach stealing food from a supermarket. He calls for backup, but is interrupted by a black man, who simply says “gun”. The officer falls to the ground. The woman takes some food down the hole in the floor through which they entered and asks why they are hiding. The simple reply is because they have to. While they continue to discuss their “Pact“, the cockroach gets aware of a poster with an american flag and rips it apart, before leaving too.
The other police officers enters, but he only sees his partner, who stands up. His partner enters and Garretti tells them that he saw mutants. When his partner asks him where his gun is, Garretti can’t even remember what a gun is. Phipps decides to call his superiors to tell them that they have Morlocks.
In another part of the city, several police cars are chasing a group of armed robbers. One of them has been shot in the stomach. Another tries to shoot at the police, but is shot instead. His blood gets in the eyes of the driver and the car hits a lorry. The wounded robber survived, but when he walks to the police, he looks strange: his pupils have disappeared and body has become transparent. The police shoots at him. The robber hits the ground and then turns into liquid and flows into the sewers, where he reforms. The police officers, after a short discussion whether they should call in the Sentinels, decide to follow him. In the sewers the robber is found by a group of six mutants (three of them are the ones from the supermarket).
Searching he sewers, the police officers suddenly hear a clicking sound and find themselves under attack by the Litterbug (the cockroach-man), who claws at one of them and tells them to leave. Another police officer is attacked by a man with long black hair who can blend into his surroundings like a chameleon and goes by the name Trader. A third officer faces Electric Eve (the white-haired woman) and Angel Dust, another woman with black hair. Angel Dust hits him with superhuman strength, but when Electric Eve wants to electrify the officer, she suddenly electrocutes herself. Trader is shot in his shoulder by the last officer, but he repaid by Litterbug hitting him in the back. Then the Postman, an afro-american mutant, appears and makes the officers forget everything that happened that night. Shatter, the last mutant, a man with a obsidian skin and a baseball bat, tells the robber that they are mutants who are living in the tunnels. The robber identifies them as Morlocks and from what he read on them in the newspapers, he thinks that the Morlocks are cannibals. The Morlocks leave. Along the way, Trader tells the Postman that he isn’t going to take a bullet for anyone again and he asks why the Postman didn’t erase all the officer’s minds. Postman tells him that it’s difficult and that he made too many mistakes. They get to Angel who tells them what just happened to Eve, but the Postman has seen it before and explains that her electrical powers short out her synapses from time to time and she’ll be fine in a minute. He then orders Litterbug to make an escape hole.
The robber asks him whether he may come with the Morlocks. Trader has his doubts : the robber was wanted by the cops and he has a tattoo with the roman number thirteen on his neck, but he us allowed to come along anyway. Postman tells him that his body has fused into a single giant cell and that he is a mutant. He denies it and wants to run away, but Eve electrocutes him. The Morlocks tell Cell that he can’t go home because of the Sentinels. Angel explains that the many electric lines in the tunnels protect them from the tracking devices the Sentinels employ, but if they go to the surface they will be found soon. Cell asks them why they helped him, but Eve replies that they were simply defending their home.
Postman tells Cell about the history of the Morlocks and that despite what the newspapers are writing about them, they are just trying to survive. He then introduces everyone to Cell. After describing Eve’s power the Postman hesitates and then says she is a runaway. Litterbug turns out to be an ex-soldier who went AWOL when he turned into his mutated form. Trader was obviously a stockbroker before he became a Morlock, and he interrupts the Postman before he can tell the new guy anything else about him. Angel Dust and Shatter, who can crystallize liquids, are younger than the others. The Postman then tells him about the “Pact”. Each of the Morlocks has still one thing left to do on the surface and they are going to help each other with that, no matter what it is. After that they will disappear into the tunnels. Cell agrees to join them.
A group of Sentinels arrive at their base. Dr. Metellus, the apparent leader of the base, asks a service-man why they took so long. The service-man reads the data and discovers that this group of Sentinels had encountered a group of six mutants and killed them. Metellus orders the tapes of the extermination to be transferred to him. He tells the service-man about the Morlock-sightings in Chicago and orders him to sent the Sentinels on a 24-hour cover zone over the city.

The Rocket's Red Glare
With a hot shard of metal, Postman tries to burn Litterbug’s army tattoo from his arm. The Morlocks are staying at an abandoned underground-station and a little bit of the others hear Litterbug screaming. Cell asks Shatter what his last wish is, since he is going to be first. Shatter tells him that they are going to free his best friend. In turn Shatter asks Cell what his last wish is going to be, but Cell doesn’t know yet. Angel Dust is worried about Litterbug, but Eve tells her to ignore it. Eve had already been living on the streets before she discovered that she was a mutant and she tells Angel Dust that she will get used to pain. Angel and Eve get in a fight. Shatter and Cell try to restrain Angel, but her superhuman strength is enough to throw them clear across the station. Shatter hits the ground hard and when he gets up, his baseball cap is gone and he has a large hole in his head. Angel is shocked and runs away, blaming herself. Trader tries to stop her, but fails.
Meanwhile the Sentinels are patrolling above Chicago and the Dr. Metellus is talking on the phone to a man called Slater. Metellus thanks him for sending the video tapes, and also informs him that he has got full support from Washington. Metellus orders Slater to kill all Morlocks in Chicago and promises that he and his entire team will get a reward. He then tells him that he is going to spend this evening with his wife, while a letter is visible next to the phone in which his wife tells him that she is leaving him. He turns on the video and watches a tape of the extermination of several mutants by the Sentinels.
Shatter finds Angel Dust in one of the many tunnels, and tells her that the hole in his head was not her fault, it was caused by a failed suicide attempt. When he began to manifest his abilities, Shatter tried to shoot himself only to discover his invulnerability – the bullet did only a slight damage. Litterbug and Postman then arrive with Litterbug’s army tattoo covered in scars, though it’s still visible. The Morlocks decide to go on with their plan to make each’s last wishes come true. Postman tells the rest that according to Litterbug a Sentinel needs 7.5 minutes to lock on to a mutant signature. Angel asks how he knows, but Litterbug quickly dismisses the topic, replying that he is been watching them. Angel remains skeptic.
In a police station, the officers whose minds were wiped (by Postman) after they chased a murder suspect into the sewers are being debriefed. The doctor tells the captain of the station that their memories are probably never going to return, only officer Vanleer remembers what happened to them. Vanleer is still in shock about what he saw in the tunnels, but the captain orders him to lead a special unit into the tunnels so that they can kill the Morlocks.
In an animal asylum, a hole opens in the floor. The Morlocks enter the building to free Shatter’s best friend, Hank, his pet dog. Postman wipes the guards mind of these events and some other things (home, address, telephone and sex) to punish him for being cruel to animals. Shatter gets his dog and is amazed that he still recognizes him, despite his changed looks.
Next on the list is Eve, who claims that she wants her grandmother’s ring back from her ex ..., her employer, Ricky. While the others keep the guards busy, Eve enters the elevator to the penthouse, where Ricky is lies in a pool and is talking to someone on the phone. Ricky grabs a gun when he sees the elevator opening, but relaxes when he sees that it is well shaped female. Only interested in her looks, Ricky doesn’t even recognize her, but finally remembers Eve; when she tells him her story : she was addicted to heroin and Ricky used to be her dealer. Ricky then used her as a prostitute until a customer was killed, apparently by Eve manifesting her mutant power. Ricky tries to reach for his gun without alerting Eve, but Eve steps into the pool and turns on her power, electrocuting Ricky while she herself passes out.
Since Eve’s stunt blew all the lights in the building, Trader comes up to check on her and wakes her up. Eve tells him that she knows he too is after revenge, and that all the stories about revenge leaving one hollow are nonsense – it feels great. The other Morlocks arrive too, Postman is angry that Eve lied to them about her wish, and that she has now made them accomplices in murder. Suddenly Hank, starts barking, and when Shatter looks up to see what’s bothering him he gets blasted by a Sentinel. Four of the mutant hunting robot loom over them stating : “Mutant Targets Locked“.
