To Catch a Thief Masterlist / Main Masterlist

The Collector’s coming to Wakanda. You couldn’t believe Peter pulled it off. You smiled to yourself as you hiked along the worn down path through the rainforest. You needed some fresh air to clear your head. This whole situation between Peter confused you. Should you be mad at him? Should you not be? You didn’t know what to do or how to feel.

A branch snapped behind you forcing hair to rise up on the back of your neck. You stopped to peek over your shoulder, but no one was there. You shrugged it off as you continued down the worn path. This country was beautiful. With the birds chirping and nature thriving it was a refreshing sight to see, especially when you only saw skyscrapers and concrete. You stopped to take a breath when someone wrapped an arm around your waist and covered your mouth with a rag. You tried to scream as you scratched at the arm, but it was no use. The muscles in your body grew limp as your mind became fuzzier right before everything went black.

Your mind slowly returned to consciousness as you tried to piece together what happened. You got jumped in the forest and now someone was dragging your limp body along until they stopped. Opening your eyes there was nothing but a black cloth. Why do bad guys always use the color black? Is it a rule in the criminal handbook? All of a sudden the ground began shaking beneath your feet and you heard clapping close by. You focused on the clapping until you heard someone’s voice. Peter’s voice.

“No! I brought you here and told you where it was. I’m not going in the tunnel.”

“Let's see if I can change your mind, shall we? Retch,” the unknown voice called. The man holding you, assuming it was Retch, grabbed your arm and put it over his shoulder dragging you along. He came to a quick stop putting you on your knees and ripped the cloth off over your head.

You squinted your eyes as they adjusted to the light. Peter, Meredith, The Collector, Korath, Ronan, Retch, and two other men you have never seen before stood around the room. Your eyes settled on the pillar and beside it laid the necklaces broken open with the stones ripped out. The Infinity Stones were set in the grooves on the pillar granting access to a secret passageway. “What the fuck?

“Welcome, YN. It is wonderful to finally meet you in person.” The Collector walked over taking your hand and lifting you off the ground. You stood up narrowing your eyes at him before he placed his lips on your hand. You pulled your hand from his and looked around the room.

Peter glared at him with a clenched jaw almost like he wanted to kill him. Meredith still looked beautiful even though she was sickly. Her skin was pale, and she had dark circles surrounding her eyes. It was nice to see her still putting up a fight and not letting cancer take control of her life.”

Your eyes traveled to The Collector wearing his fur coat from the last time you saw him. “What’s your game, man?” You asked with pursed lips.

He chuckled. “All in good time, my dear. You’re here because Peter has a soft spot for you and I need to use it against him. So you’re going into the tunnel--” he pointed at the dark hole in the wall “--and you're helping my men retrieve the Soul Stone.”

“The hell I am, I don't have to do a thing you say!”

“Hmmm…. I can see why Peter is so taken with you,” The Collector smirked at your outburst.

“I'll go if she can stay here,” Peter interjected, trying to come to a reasonable solution. He made eye contact with you as if he was telling you everything was going to be alright.

“Now what would be fun about that? You’re both going. Ronan take her with you.” The guy wearing an excessive amount of blue grabbed your arm pulling you towards the tunnel.

“Get your hands off me, assface. I got legs, I can walk myself,” you glared and Ronan released you. He hands you a flashlight making his way into the tunnel. You stand at the entrance taking a deep breath before walking in.

You walked a good distance into the tunnel when something on the wall caught your eye. Using your hand, you wiped away the old cobwebs and underneath them was a painting from what life must’ve been like back then. The image was of a tribe council with a woman standing in front of them wielding a sword. Your fingers traced over the colored image as two Trinkets rushed past you until all you could see was their flashlights in the distance. “Men,” you said, rolling your eyes. “Always in a rush to get to the prize at the end of the tunnel.”

“Some men are capable of waiting patiently for the prize,” Peter hinted beside you. There was a double meaning there but you chose to ignore it for now. “How are you holding up?”

“Overworked and underpaid.” You took one last look at the painting and walked away.

You catch up to the Trinkets to find them standing still with their flashlights beaming down. You pushed past them only to find a hole the same width as the path with no way of getting across. Casting your light downward you noticed it was at least a 50-foot drop with sharp spikes on the bottom. A few skeletons were laying across them, and you flinched away from the ledge when your light caught something moving down below.

T’Challa warned you about the booby trap mechanisms. He wasn’t joking. This was the first one, but you needed to remain calm and strong. Who knows how many more there are? This was something Indiana Jones should’ve prepared you for.

“Snakes…why'd it have to be snakes?” Peter chuckled, beaming his light into the hole. You cracked a small smile thanking the dark tunnel for keeping it hidden. “Come on guys….Indiana Jones.” No one responded making him scoff. “Well, I’m guessing this is how we get across.” He grabbed a rope connected to a ring and started tugging on it to make sure it was secure.

“I’m not going first,” Ronan replied, holding up his hands.

“Me neither,” the Trinket wearing goggles said.

“I’m with Gef on this one,” the Trinket with an interesting choice hairstyle agreed. He had long hair on one side of his head, buzzed short on the other side, and shaved down the middle to separate the two.

“Fine, I’ll be the responsible one and go first,” Peter said, eyeing you.

Peter tossed his flashlight to the other side of the hole before he gripped the rope and swung across with ease. He tossed the rope back, and Ronan swung next followed by his minions. Peter flung the rope back, and you grabbed a hold of it contemplating.

“Hurry up, woman, so we can get out of here,” Gef called out, forcing you to roll your eyes.

“You can do it, YN. It's easy,” Peter encouraged.

“Easy for you to say you're already across,” you yelled back at him. “Sorry, shouting is one of my defense mechanism.”

“Don’t be scared. You got this.”

You nodded, stuffing your flashlight deep into your back pocket and let out a deep breath. You pushed off the edge and started gliding through the air to the other side. You stuck out your leg when you were inches away to safety when you heard a snap. The rope broke off, and you let out an agonizing scream as it started pulling you down to your impending doom. Within seconds, someone grabbed your forearm stopping you. You dangled in the air trying to get your breathing under control when you glanced up to see Peter’s frightened eyes staring back at you from the soft glow of your flashlight.

“Don’t look down. I got you. It’s okay. Let me pull you up.”

Peter lifted you over the edge without any problems. You sat on your knees taking deep breaths trying to stop your body from shaking and pull yourself together. Peter kneeled down beside you and started rubbing soothing circles on the small of your back. You don’t know how long it took to pull yourself together, but you appreciated Peter being there for you. You slowly stood up as you tried to steady yourself. “You good?”

“I’m fine. Yeah,” you whispered, waving it off. “Thank you.”

“I’ll always have your back,” Peter reassured, patting you on the back. You nodded with a small smile, thanking the darkness for keeping your blush hidden. “Shame that rope broke, how are we going to get back across?”

“Ahhhh, Quill’s gonna be busy later,” Ronan teased, making his minions laugh.

“Shut up you blue idiot,” Peter barked.

“Excuse me.”

“Who wears that much blue, anyways? What are you auditioning for a roll in the Smurfs?” You chuckled at Peters comparison.

“It's cashmere,” Ronan mentioned, holding a hand to his chest wearing a hurt expression on his face.

“Is that suppose to make it better?”

“Welllll…”

“Well...how about less talk and more walk,” Peter finished, shooing them off while both of you followed behind them.

Peter saved your life. He protected you and made sure you were okay. He was always there for you when you needed him, and he never hesitated when it came to your safety. Sure, he made some stupid decisions, but who hasn’t. He did it out of the goodness of his heart. This was the Peter Quill you fell for.

You flashed the light on the wall to discover another mural. The same woman from the previous painting was back, but this time she was in two worlds. One world looked like a desert with the sun beating down on her, and the other world was a rainforest with a waterfall. You stopped making Peter stop beside you. “Do you think this is Valkyrie’s story?” You waved your hand over the painting. “I mean, is this her real story.”

“It could be,” He answered, concentrating on the painting in front of him. “Like this was when she got dehy--.”

“Will you two hurry up? We don’t have all day,” Ronan yelled out.

“Is he always such an a-hole?”

“Yeah, I don’t think he knows how to turn it off like I do,” Peter grinned in the dim light.

“You sure about that.” You shake your head leaving him alone to catch up with the others.

Everyone continued to walk down the dark path when you hear a click compelling you to stop. You glance at your feet to see if you stepped on something, but saw nothing. You hear a shifting sound of metal coming from in front of you. You point your light seeing metal blades coming out of the walls heading straight towards you. Peter wrapped his arm around your waist pulling you into his chest forcing the flashlight from your hand as he takes a step back. You hear a high pitched scream and feel a breeze from the metal blade directly in front of you. It slides back in as it continues to descend behind you.

You stood there gripping Peters legs behind you not wanting him to let you go. “Breathe,” Peter whispered in your ear. Goosebumps spread down the side of your neck sending a shiver to your spine. You let out a shaky breath you didn’t realize you were holding in.

“Holy shit! How....how did you know where to stand?” You asked and he shines the light to his feet.

“The white squares. Figured there had to be some significance to it when I saw a path of them on the floor.” He shrugged.

“Nice catch.” You patted his leg and he released you.

“Gef’s down,” Ronan shouted. “He stepped on the mechanism--” he shined his light to the button on the floor “--setting off the blades coming through the wall.”

You flickered the flashlight on Gef’s body but quickly turned your back to him. It was gruesome, his eyes were open behind his goggles, and his mouth was hanging open. He had a huge puncture starting at the base of his neck going all the way past his pelvis. He had to of turned at the right second to almost be split into two. You’re not going to get that picture out of your head anytime soon. Peter grabbed your hand giving it a reassuring squeeze silently telling you it was going to be alright before he let go. Peter had to be scared as much as you were at this point. You didn’t know what kind of booby traps laid ahead or even if you would make it out alive.

You left the body behind and carried on. You stayed towards the back of the pack not wanting to be the one to trigger something next. You didn’t like the Trinkets or The Collector, but you wouldn’t wish them dead. Behind bars for their crimes, yes, but not dead. Death was too easy but serving a life sentence was torture.

Scanning the walls for another mural you spot it behind more cobwebs. This time, Valkyrie stood in the center of the sunlit cave with her sword hanging off her hips. She stared down at the six glowing stones resting on the pillar. The legend was true, there were six stones, and the last one The Collector needed was at the end of this death trap tunnel.

Peters flashlight beamed on the wall joining yours. You turned on your heels and walked with caution behind the others. Valkyrie put so much work into protecting this stone, but why? Was the legend true, did it have magical abilities? It sounded ridiculous, but what if it’s true?

Everyone stopped at the beginning of a rainbow-colored floor with each path representing a different color. On the other end was a huge wooden door with a large ‘X’ on it.

“The ‘X’ marks the spot. I bet the necklace is in there,” funky haired Trinket said, pointing at the door.

“‘X’ never, ever marks the spot,” Peter paused, thinking it over. “It has to be more complicated than that. It can't be a simple walk across the board and open the door. This has to be some kind of trick, but I'm not sure what it is.

The funky haired trinket ignored Peter as he stepped onto the blue path, but nothing happened. He turned around smiling and out of nowhere an arrow went flying through his chest. He screamed falling to the ground dead. He landed on other blue spots on the path which sent addition arrows flying across the room.

“Halfnut, are fucking kidding me?” Ronan groaned in frustration.

“Halfnut? That's his name? Why does The Collector give you such weird names? I mean, what the fuck? Halfnut isn’t even a good name. It’s like the dude named Taserface,” you chuckled, seeing Peter shake his head at the absurd nicknames.

“Have some respect woman.”

“Wow, really? Respect. Are you serious? Have you met you? You have no respect for anyone. Your 100% a dick.” Ronan ignored you, continuing to stare at the door.

“Look on the bright side, we know it's not the blue path,” Peter joked, making you roll your eyes.

“You first woman,” Ronan nudged you forward.

“Don’t fucking push me.” You scanned the paths deciding which one to take. The Soul Stone was orange so the orange path could be the right one. You placed your foot onto the orange path, and nothing happened. You sighed in relief as you walked to the other side of the room. Both men followed in your footsteps until they reached you on the other side.

Ronan pushed, and pulled on the door but it wouldn’t budge. “Why is this door not working?”

“That’s because we need a key, doofus.” Peter pointed at the long vertical keyhole.

“A key? I didn’t know about a key.”

“I don’t think anyone did. For all we know, no one has made it out of here alive.”

“Fellas, how about we not argue for once and focus on finding the key?” You suggested, scanning the room to try and find something resembling a key.

“Or maybe, Peter should pick the lock to see if his skills are up to par with this era.”

“How could you be making jokes at a time like this,” you exclaimed at Ronan from across the room. “Two people are dead and if we aren’t careful one of us could be next.” Ronan narrowed his eyes letting out an annoyed sigh.

“Shut up and let me think for a second.” Peter examined the lock, and you moved towards the mural by the door you didn’t notice before. It was a self-portrait of Valkyrie with her sword resting on her shoulder. She was gorgeous and the sword she was holding looked familiar almost like you’ve seen it before. It was in the other paintings, but this one was a close-up and far more detailed. It looked exactly like the one Peter had in his apartment. You turned towards Peter about to say something when Peter pulled out the broken Dragonfang.

“How did you manage to fit the sword in your bag?”

“According to Mary Poppins, you should never judge a bag by its appearance,” he quipped, making you shake your head at him.

“What do you plan on doing with that sword?” Ronan asked, keeping a watchful eye on Peter.

“It’s to unlock the door, you big dummy. This was Valkyrie’s original sword, so I thought it might come in handy. It’s broken but if I'm right the other half is still wedged in there.”

Peter slides the Dragonfang into the key slot and starts turning it horizontally until it clicked into place. The ground beneath you rumbled as the doors in front of you began to pull apart. As you walked through the threshold, lights from the ceiling flickered on brightening up the dark room. In the center of the room sat a pillar with a goblet sitting on top of it, and the back wall had four different paintings telling a story.

The mural furthest left showed what bringing the stones to Valkyries village caused. It brought people into power which lead to war and the annihilation of her village. The one next to it showed her trying to warn the council to stop, but they wouldn’t listen forcing her to go out on her own. The third mural illustrated her speaking with the people of Wakanda asking for their forgiveness. The last image showcased another self-portrait of her wearing the orange stone around her neck. She sacrificed herself to protect this stone, and keep it out of the wrong hands. It accepted her for everything she caused, but what did it cost her in the end? Her life, her soul, her sanity? The five Infinity stones caused a massive amount of bloodshed, and in order to receive this stone, blood would have to be shed.

You turned around tapping your chin. If someone had to drain their blood, where would one put it? Your eyes scanned the room only to stop on the pillar in the center of the room. You went over to it noticing a weight mechanism underneath the goblet sitting on it. “Someone has to drain their blood into this?”

“Make sense. The stones caused a massacre and walking through this tunnel and getting past all the booby traps is too easy. Blood for the stone fits,” Peter agreed, turning back to her self-portrait.

“Which one of you are going to do it?” Ronan sneered, glancing between you and Peter.

“Are you really asking that question? It’s yours! I swung first, YN walked across the path first, it’s your turn.”

“But, who has the gun?” Ronan pulled out a handgun from the front of his pants, waving it around with a satisfied smile on his face. “It will be one of you or both of you. Your choice.”

You turned to face Peter and his eyes were already on yours. From the look in his eyes, you knew he already decided how this was going to go. “Peter, don’t you fucking dare.” He was going to sacrifice himself for you. Your lips trembled as you tried to find the right words. “You’re not doing this Peter. Your mom’s waiting for you. She’s going to need you when she gets better. I have no one waiting for me outside this cave. No one,” your voice quivered. The back of your eyes started to tingle as tears begin to form in the corner of your eyes. “Everyone I care about is either dead or hate me. Peter let me do this. Let me do something for you after everything you've done for me.” He came closer to you taking your hands in his.

“No can do, sweetheart. I can’t let you,” Peter breathed. “This is my fault. I’m the reason you’re here and you shouldn’t have to suffer for my recklessness. The Collector saw right through me.” A single tear escaped down your cheek and he reached up wiping it away with his thumb. “I regret many things in my life, but one thing I don’t regret is falling for you.”

You stared at him in disbelief as tears begin to blur your vision. How could he say that to you right now? We’re in a life or death situation and he was making love declarations? What is this a cheesy love story? “No Peter, you can’t…..you can’t do this. I am not going to let you do this. You don’t get to say these things because you think your life is over. You don’t get to make these decisions. You're not the only one in the sights anymore.”

He squeezed your hands. “I’m going to do this regardless because you deserve a second chance. YN, you’re finally finding your way, and after this is over it will open so many more doors for you.”

“No….no,” you pleaded with your chin trembling. “I can’t...I can’t let you die for me. I can’t watch someone I care about suffer for me.” Peter’s eyebrows perked up but faltered quickly remembering our situation. You watched as tears begin to peek in the corners of his eyes, but he quickly blinked them away before they had time to escape. “Don’t you be stupid. For once in your life...let someone take care of you. Please...please let me do this for you,” you cried as the tears streamed freely down your face.

One of his hands reached up cupping your chin as he gazed into your eyes. His eyes flickered to your lips, and he leaned in for a kiss. His lips were soft against yours, and you felt every terrifying hopeful emotion he was feeling. Your hands crawled up his arms to the side of his neck deepening the kiss. This was your first and last kiss with Peter. Your last kiss ever. He pulled away resting his forehead against yours. You opened your eyes to see his staring directly into yours.

“I forgive you, Peter,” you whispered against his lips. “You’re not the man I knew ten years ago.”

He cracked a lopsided smile as a few tears escaped from his eyes. “It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”

“That’s enough,” Ronan shouted from behind you, but your eyes stayed on Peters. “If one of you aren’t going to choose, then I will.” You squeezed your eyes shut ready to take the blow. “And I….choose....you.”

“I’m sorry,” Peter whispered, forcing your eyes to snap open. He pushed you to the floor right before a gunshot rang out echoing in the tunnels.

AN: Sorry about the cliff hanger, but I couldn’t resist! What do you think is going to happen next? What did you think about all Valkyries booby traps? I did reference Indiana Jones a lot on this one, but hey it’s a classic! As always thanks for reading!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Part 3 (Peter Quill x Reader)

Part 1 Part 2

A/N: I got a couple of notes on the last part of this series so now I am STOKED!! Even though it was only a few notes I am still so glad people like my writing!!

Warnings: swearing, angst, fluff

After Peter places you gently back on the ground, he deactivates his rocket boots and takes off his mask. You peer at the orb placed in your palm and turn it over, running your fingers along each crevice and inspecting every part of it. While staring at it with great curiosity, the orb is quickly swiped from your loose grip. Your head pops up instantly. Peter plays with it, tossing it between his hands with a mischievous grin.

"What the hell, dude?" you ask playfully, going to reach for it back. He puts an arm up, blocking you from obtaining the orb.

Using his arm to gradually move you away from the orb, he speaks. "Yeah, about this glowin' ball thingy... I'm gonna need it."

You step back from Peter slightly, throwing your hands up in exasperation. "W-what do you mean you're gonna need it? You just helped me retrieve it for myself!" You start to raise your voice at him.

Now, instead of backing away, he saunters over to you, his face only inches from yours. "Well, sweet cheeks, I got it for myself, and you just so happened to be there. Then, I let you play with it for a little while until the bad dudes waltzed in and you helped me escape." He takes a deep breath and looks away. "Not that I needed the help, of course," he mumbles.

"Asshole," you state, giving him a death stare.

Peter takes another step even closer to you. Your stomach turns a bit realizing how little space there is between the two of you. "Now that we're done with those weirdo aliens over there, I'm gonna go take this orb to my buyer and collect some units. That means this where I leave you darlin'..." he whispers, his playboy smirk illuminating his face. "...so if you wanna give me a good-bye kiss..."

You furrow your eyebrows and frown at the man, pushing him away from you. "Cut the shit, Star-Douche!" you shout, making another attempt to get the orb back, failing miserably. He chuckles at you, moving the orb away from your grasp each time you reach for it. Your frustration increases, boiling up inside you until you're about to snap. This only causes Peter to have more fun.

A loud crash echoes through the planet and the two of you freeze. Turning toward the noise, you watch as your ship is being blown to bits. "No. No no no no no!" you yell in pain. You take slow steps over to the sight of the explosion. That was your first ship and your home for many years.

"Fuuuuuck," Peter gasps under his breath, his eyes glued to the ship. He looks over at you, noticing the growing distance. "Whoa!" he screams, gripping your wrist and pulling you back to him. "What do you think you're doin'? You can't go towards an explosion! You're supposed to run away from crazy shit like that!" You ignore his remarks yet remain standing right where you are. You're numb. It's impossible to look away from the bright flames engulfing your ship.

Suddenly, Korath and his men emerge from the flames and fire their guns at you and Peter. Both of you flinch with each shot and back up slowly towards Peter's ship, the Milano.

"Oh shit," he bellows. "We gotta go." He turns to leave but looks back at you, still staring at the ship and trying to avoid the shots coming at you. "Now, Y/N!" Peter shouts, instinctively picking you up and tossing you over his shoulder as he jogs toward the Milano. He forces the two of you through the doors at a quick pace, closing them harshly the second you're both inside.

Peter places you down on the ground, gently, barely checking up on you before sprinting away. You stand there, silent, still thinking about your beloved ship. That damned ship was the place you called home for almost the entirety of your young, adult life. It was the first thing you purchased upon escaping the torture of Thanos. The ship always felt safe, comfortable, and was your escape from reality when the dangers of thievery became too much to bear. Now, it's completely gone.

A frustrated Peter runs wildly around trying to get the Milano up in the air. He sits down in the pilot's seat and levitates his ship above the ground, desperately trying to avoid Korath's attack. The ship shifts left and right as he almost loses control. You grab onto the wall next to you for balance. You fly above a geyser and it slams right into the ship, launching it up into the sky and turning it off. Peter hits the front window and you struggle to hold on as you head for the ceiling. As the ship descends downward at an extremely quick pace, the two of you bump into each other. Peter pins you against the wall instinctively, remaining balance. It's hard to focus on the damage being done to the ship when his hot breath is hitting your face and his eyes have a hint of darkness in them as he holds you in place. As the Milano continues shifting, Peter grabs you and holds you flush against his body. You squirm slightly in his arms due to the movement of the ship and perhaps the idea of being held by a complete stranger over and over again in such a short period of time. He lunges forward and pulls the lever to turn the ship back on, going up once again but much slower. He puts you on the ground where you stumble into the wall. Peter takes his place in the pilot's seat and manages to get a grip on flying after a bumpy ride, at last escaping from Korath.

Once you're calmly floating in space, Peter walks over to you and leans his back up against the wall. He takes a deep breath and beams brightly. That fades fairly quickly once he sees you with your eyes still widened in shock from the image of your destroyed home. You don't know what is more surprising: the fact that your ship is gone forever or the fact that you're starting to crush on a suspicious stranger. He places his warm, comforting hand on your shoulder and leans in to press his forehead against yours. "Hey," he whispers. "I'm sorry about your ship, I really am. But it's only a ship and I promise to get you a new one once I get those units. Until then, you can stay with me on the Milano." He waits for your confirmation. You meet his eyes and nod slowly. "Okay? Does that sound good?" You nod again and your facial expression lightens at the sight of Peter being so nice. You lose yourself in the contrast of green and light brown in his eyes, forgetting all about your ship. Maybe you'd be happier just staying with him forever on the Milano, looking into his infatuating eyes for all of eternity.

"Peter?" a weak, high pitched voice calls out, startling the two of you and causing you to pull away from him. A disheveled, pink woman, most likely from Xandar, peeps her head out from the quarters beneath the ship. She looks between the pair of you, confused and worried. "What happened?"

Peter shifts awkwardly, surveying everything around the girl instead of returning her stare. "Hey....uh....uh. I-" he struggles to remember her name and a soft simper creeps up on your face.

"Bereet," the pink woman answers, clearly unamused.

"Bereet!" Peter hollers. "Look, I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I forgot you were here."

You snicker as Bereet has a look of disbelief on her face. At first, you feel a pang of jealousy. The feeling quickly subsides as you shut it down in your head. All you know about Peter is that he's a flirtatious ravager who steals orbs and fights bad guys. Of course, there are going to be several women in his life and you are disappointed in yourself for not recognizing his womanizer qualities sooner. It's probably best to avoid getting involved with such a man.

Bereet leaves the space from under the ship and goes to clean herself up a bit. You and Peter sit down at a table in the kitchen area, turning on the TV. The newscasters on the television discuss the riots breaking out amongst the Kree empire. The men you just escaped from were Kree people, following Ronan's orders. This is the same Ronan and Kree emperor you and Gamora are planning on betraying with this orb that now sits in the middle of the table in front of Peter.

"So..." Peter breaks the silence. "I enjoyed your pop culture references and song choice out there on Morag. It's nice to meet a fellow Terran."

"Likewise," you reply. "I was abducted in '88 with nothing but my trusty walkman here and this bag of stuff." You gesture to your backpack.

Peter lets out a small laugh. "That walkman is pretty cool. I love a gal with good taste in tunes. What's on your tape?"

You open up your backpack and grab four of your tapes. You also open your walkman and retrieve "Y/N's Super Sick Mix Vol. 1″ from inside. Plopping all five down on the table, in order, you look up at Peter. "I have five tapes. They're all my 'super sick' mixes that my family made for me when I was little and lived back on Terra. The first two are some of my parents' favorite songs from the '70s and the other three are songs from the '80s that we all loved."

Peter rests his head on his hand and looks at you with bright eyes. He admires your passion and he loves the way you talk about your music as you begin to list some of the best songs on every tape. Yet, what he loves most is that he has the same songs on his "Awesome Mix" that his own mother had made him. You share the same values and tastes. He isn't used to that. Quite frankly, neither are you.

Whipping out his walkman and placing it on the table, he removes the tape. "See this here?" He asks. "This is my most prized possession. It's my only tape. Similar to you, my mother made it for me back on Terra when I was just a little kid." Peter continuously turns the tape over and over again in his hands, staring down at it with gloomy eyes.

"What songs are on there?" You ask.

"Oh, you know, the coolest stuff from the '70s. Actually, a lot of the music on your tapes are on here, like, all of the classics obviously," he scoffs. But then his expression changes and he appears almost devastated. "My mother... she um," he stops, letting whatever he was about to say fade.

"Did she only make that one tape?" He nods slowly. You give him a soft smile, even though he is still looking down at his hands. "What was she like?"

"Well, she made me this tape shortly after she bought my walkman for me. She was the best." Peter doesn't want to give away his entire life story to you, but some part of him can't help himself. He trusts you after only just meeting you. He wants to tell you; he wants to tell you everything. So, he tries to do just that. "This, um, tape here... and my walkman, of course, were all I had with me when I was picked up from Terra. I was taken shortly after my mother..." he hesitated. "...passed."

You stay quiet for a minute. You think about Peter's words and your heart breaks for him. Watching him fidget with the tape, you place your hand on it gently so he stops moving. He brushes his fingers against yours and you intertwine them. He says nothing but his eyes bore into yours as he smiles weakly. "I'm so sorry Peter."

He likes that he opened up to you and the way you had chosen to comfort him. Neither of you say anything for a while until Bereet enters the room. Upon her entrance, you and Peter pull away from each other again. He stands up and goes over to the television, pretending to listen to whatever is on. Bereet takes a seat in front of a smaller screen that connects to the TV, sipping a drink she picked up from the kitchen counter. "So, Terran, what is your name?" she questions kindly.

"I'm Y/N." You don't know how else to introduce yourself other than give your name. You can't say you're a friend of Peter's after only meeting him a few hours ago and you're unable to explain why you are on his ship without revealing Gamora's plan.

"It is lovely to meet you, Y/N." All of a sudden, the phone rings. "Peter, you have a call," she retorts, reaching to press connect on the small screen in front of her.

"No, wait, don't!" Peter exclaims. But it's too late. A blue man with a fin on his head appears on the screen behind him. Peter closes his eyes and lets out a loud sigh.

"Quill?" The man calls him.

"Hey, Yondu," Peter replies, clearly annoyed.

"I'm here on Morag," Yondu says, looking around him. "Ain't no orb, ain't no you."

"Well, I was in the neighborhood, I thought I'd save you the hassle." He shrugs, his infamous smirk returning.

"Well, where are you at now, boy?" Yondu growls at Peter.

"I feel really bad about this, but I'm not gonna tell you that."

You stand up from the table as the two men continue talking, Bereet still sipping her drink as she watches the heated conversation. You stretch over to the large window at the front of the Milano, staring at the glorious space around you. Based on the area, it appears that you are heading toward Xandar.

After abruptly ending the call, Peter puts a hand on his hip and pinches the bridge of his nose, letting out yet another sigh. "Peter?" He lifts his head to you. "Are we going to Xandar?" you ask curiously.

His goofy attitude returns. "Hell yeah! That's where I'm goin’ to sell this stupid orb and get me some units."

A sly grimace creeps up your to lips, knowing exactly who is waiting for you on Xandar. "Perfect."

MOONAGE DAYDREAM Chapter One

Word Count: 2,760

Summary: Being trapped on a spaceship with an intergalactic pirate wasn’t as bad as you had originally thought it might be, but a mechanic from Xandar and a Ravager-gone-rogue from Terra quickly turned into a story for the ages. Quill infuriated you until, one day, you found out why he has always annoyed you.

Pairings: Peter Quill x Y/N Spencer

Warnings: Language

Parts: Part 1 (you are here) / Part 2 / Part 3 / etc.

“This is your fault, Star-Prince.”

The words were muttered from your mouth before you realized they were being said. You’d always had a bad habit of speaking before thinking, and you’d always paid for it. Thankfully, being in the company of a self-proclaimed superhero wasn’t as bad as you’d originally thought.

It started on Knowhere, where you were a mechanic. Your boredom had gotten the best of you one day, and you began to walk around the city-scaped planet in a desperate attempt for something fun to happen. Unfortunately, the only “fun” thing to do was put up with Peter Quill’s cocky attitude as he asked you to fix his ship. If it weren’t for the fact that you were in desperate need of the units, you would’ve told the space pirate to bug off and go look for help elsewhere.

That was two years ago. Peter took a liking to you and convinced you to come on board of his precious Milano, becoming his partner in crime. Of course, you hated the man, but that didn’t stop you from finding him surprisingly attractive; but, you hated yourself for it.

Peter turned to look at you, a small smirk appearing on his chiseled face, and his honey-colored eyes glistened with mischief. "C'mon, Princess. What harm will this one teeny-tiny, harmless mission do?"

You decided to run your hands through your dark brown hair, pulling it into a long ponytail. "Quill, I swear to God, if you make one more promise to me about this being a harmless mission and it goes haywire, I'm going to punch you." He knew better than to mess with you, as you were a tough mechanic who worked out regularly.

Peter rebutted with the snide comment, "It's just Morag," before sliding out of his pilot's seat and strutting towards the back of the ship. Sure, it's just Morag; before this, it was just Fraindol, before that just Hainstrül, and so on, every time being worse than the last.

You follow Peter to the back of his ship, slipping on your dark purple leather coat. He turns to send you a smile before opening the bay door and stepping onto the barren planet. You follow cautiously, watching as Peter clicks the button under his right ear and his mask appears across his face. "If it's 'just Morag'," you mock, "why did you put your helmet on?"

"Because you can never be sure, Y/N," your partner clarifies, his voice muffled by the mask. You keep one hand close to your thigh holster, prepared to grab your gun as soon as possible in case of danger. You couldn't be blamed for your paranoia--every other mission Peter Quill took you on always ended in gunfire. "I think this is it."

You both approach a dark cavern, apparently empty of communicable life. Extraterrestrial lizards were scurrying back and forth across a clear-cut path towards a set of intimidating double doors. You assumed the bounty you were sent to collect was hidden behind those doors and began to walk forward. You pass Peter who is fumbling with the Walkman on his belt. Come and Get Your Love by Redbone began playing and you couldn't help but sway your hips to the tune as you walk along the path. You turn around to see Peter dancing as well, his fist in the air as he bumps it to the beat. He approaches you quickly and you laugh as he takes your hand, leading you around the cavern in a silly hopping dance. He twirls you out carefully, but you spin too fast and your right shoulder collides with a hard wall. "Ow," you moan as you look at the surface you ran into.

Without even realizing, you and Peter had reached the doors. He walked up with a bit of swagger in his step, as though sending a silent 'I told you this would be easy,' and pushed them open with ease.

To you, this was all incredibly anticlimactic. A metal orb sat behind the doors on a pedestal. "What the hell is that thing," you asked in disbelief.

Peter shook his head as he stepped forward to grab it. "I have no idea, Y/N, but apparently it's important enough for someone to be willing to pay two hundred mil for it."

You still gawk at the price, even though you'd heard it a million times already. Two hundred million units. You'd be set for life! You could buy your own spaceship, fly wherever you wanted and start your life on one planet instead of hopping from place to place.

"What are you waiting for, Star-Prince?" you tease, utilizing the nickname you'd given him the day you two met.

He shoots you a look. "Would you stop calling me that?"

You shrug. "Only if you want me to downgrade to Star-Dick."

"Trust me, Princess. This dick would have you seeing stars."

You gag in feigned disgust. "Quill, I see enough stars as it is. In fact, I'm so tired of stars I'll be glad if your dick comes nowhere near me." It didn't make sense, but you don't care. "Get that damned orb and let's get the hell out of here!"

You hiss the last few words and Peter laughs, giving in to your whines and stepping towards the orb. He grabs it quickly and turns around, a grin on his face, but it quickly disappears when he looks behind you.

"Well, fuck," you whisper, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath.

"Drop the orb!" a powerful voice booms from the entrance of the cavern, echoing around the slick walls with such force to shake your bones. You turn slowly to see a familiar face: Korath.

Korath the Pursuer works for Ronan the Accuser, trained alongside two of the daughters of Thanos, and was known for the death toll he wrought on uncooperative cities. Just a week ago, you and Peter had heard that Korath had led a platoon of Sakaarans to take Nebula and Gamora, the two daughters he trained alongside, to Praxius IX. You two weren’t sure at the time what Korath was looking for, yet you assume he was looking for the orb the two of you just found--your assumption was confirmed by the rather large gun pointed in your direction.

“Uh, hey,” you say nervously.

Korath ignored me as his cronies come closer to myself and Peter. “Drop it, now!” he demands again. His henchman approaches you as you twist to look at Quill, who is watching you with concerned eyes.

“Hey, hey!” Peter shouts, pulling Korath’s attention. “Cool, man. No problem.” He slowly sets the orb down on the rocks he stands on before standing up straight again, arms still raised. The henchmen watching Peter step closer to him, guns raised. He looks at you again, his honey eyes locked on yours. “No problem at all.”

One of the henchmen watching Peter picks up the orb and tosses it to Korath, and you watch as it flies through the air. “How do you know about this?” Korath demands as he catches it.

You answer before Peter has the chance to fuck this up any more than it already is. “We don’t even know what that is. We’re just junkers, man. We were just…” you thought of an excuse that the assassin might buy, “...just checking stuff out.”

“You don’t look like junkers,” Korath confronts. “You’re wearing Ravager garb.”

Standing up a little straighter, you realize he’s right. How the hell are you supposed to dig yourselves out of this one? “This is just an outfit, man,” Peter answers, much to your relief. A henchman pokes his shoulder and he mutters, “Ninja Turtle, you better stop poking me.”

“What are your names?” Korath questions with the same booming voice he’s been using, this time with more urgency.

He begins to walk towards you; meanwhile, Peter speeds to answer before anything happens to you. “My name is Peter Quill, okay? And--and this is Y/N Spencer.”

Korath seems to accept Peter’s answer but reaches for your arm. “Hey!” you shout in protest, attempting to rip your arm from his grip.

“Move!”

“Why?” Peter struggles against the henchmen holding him back from stepping between you and Korath. He’d always been protective of you since you ran away from Knowhere with him.

“Ronan may have questions for you.” Korath’s answer was short but passed through gritted teeth.

You, having the ability to read people clearer than they can read themselves, froze; Peter of all people knew that when you wanted to pick someone apart mentally, there was no getting you to comply with anything. “You’re afraid of him.” Korath attempted to counter, but you cut him off. “You--you don’t want to follow his rule. You, Korath the Pursuer, are under the control of Ronan the Accuser, but you’ve never been under control a day in your life. You control others, so I ask you: what are you doing following Ronan?”

Korath seemed to become angry at this assumption and turns away from you. He begins to stomp away but stops once Peter Quill opens his infamous large mouth once again. “Hey, you know what? There’s another name you might know me by.” You roll your eyes and fight back a groan as Korath turns on his heel. Once Peter has the attention of everyone in the room on him, you realize he’s trying to escape. Your right hand twitches next to your blaster, the trigger-happy index finger dying for a chance to show it’s skill. “Star-Lord.”

Everyone in the room falls silent. Korath tilts his head a little, his white eyes boring into Peter’s. “Who?”

Peter sighs heavily. “Star-Lord, man.” With no response, he continues. “Legendary outlaw.” He then looks at the henchmen next to him. “And she’s--”

“Don’t drag me into this. I’d rather answer to Ronan.” Your comment was meant as a joke but it came off harsher than intended. You mouthed sorry to Peter and let your right hand get even closer to the blaster.

Peter sees your hand and gives you a small smile--undetectable to anyone who he hadn’t spent the past two years with. “Ah, forget this.”

He draws his blasters and you do the same, first shooting the henchman behind you then Korath. He drops the orb and you retrieve it, sprinting up the steps towards Peter, who had dropped both of his henchmen. Behind you, Korath rose to his feet and shot at you, missing by mere inches. Peter’s arm wraps around your waist and you throw your arms around his neck. He turns on his rocket boots and flies backward through the back wall of the cavern, shooting at Korath behind you. When you land outside (very ungracefully, as the pain in your shoulder disagreed with your rough landing), you both sprint to the Milano.

Korath and his men shoot repeatedly at the ship as Peter pulls away from the planet, yet loses control and drops with the gravitational pull. “Quill!” you scream as the ship plummets towards the ground. He manages to pull the controls up and the ship hovers inches from the planet’s surface before you both get thrown back from the impact of takeoff.

You stand from the spot you’d fallen to and brush off your jacket. “Star-Prince, I’m going to kill you.”

He chuckles. “Like I said, it’s just Morag.”

“Peter?” We both turn to see a pink-skinned woman emerging from Peter’s bedroom. You excuse yourself to the kitchen so they can catch up on the events of last night.

Quill’s flings never bothered you before, but in the past few months, you’ve realized how annoying it is to go on missions, only to come back and find that he’s forgotten about the body still lying in his bed. Civilian casualties are not something you need nor want on your record, yet Peter doesn’t seem to understand. It’s Peter’s ship, sure; but, it’s your shared space. It’s what you call home. You don’t bring men onto the ship for one-night-stands then forget all about them mere minutes after you wake up in the morning. Then again, you’ve always been horrible at one-night-stands. You’ve always wanted something real in life, and a small part of you has hoped for the last two years that it would be with Peter--yet with every girl who walked out of his room on mornings like this, that part of you shrunk, knowing that you’d never end up with Peter. You just weren’t his type.

Munching on an alien fruit you and Peter had picked up on Xandar when you’d made the deal to pick up the orb (you’d long forgotten the complicated name), you watched the news monitor mounted to the wall. You turn up the volume as the reporter discusses Kree information, and Peter and the Fling enter the kitchen. “Scattered riots broke out across the Kree Empire today protesting the recent peace treaty signed by the Kree Emperor and Xandar’s Nova Prime.”

“Um, you have a call,” the Fling says, but before Peter has a chance to stop her, a familiar blue face appears on the screen.

You and Peter had grown accustomed to the ugly mug of Yondu Udonta, but the blue-skinned, yellow-toothed Ravager captain was more pissed off than usual. You’d always been afraid of Yondu since you and Peter teamed up, but you never let it show.

“Quill!” Yondu shouts. “Spencer!”

“Hey, Yondu,” you say casually, leaning against the kitchen table as Peter sighs heavily. You know he’s wishing he could miraculously teleport himself anywhere but here.

Yondu grits his teeth. “I’m here on Morag. Ain’t no orb, ain’t no you.”

Peter put on a smile. “Well, I was in the neighborhood.” His tone was friendly and innocent, but you knew he was hiding a sassy remark of his own. “I thought I’d save you the hassle.”

“Well, where you at now, kids?” The blue man’s gravelly voice hadn’t changed a day since you first met him, and his blunt tone always rubbed you the wrong way.

You and Peter both exhale before you say, “I feel really bad about this, Yondu, but we’re not gonna tell you that.” You see Peter smile slightly in your peripheral vision and stand a little straighter.

“I slaved putting this deal together--”

“‘Slaved’?” Peter confronts. “Making a few calls is ‘slaved’?”

“--and now you’re gonna rip me off!”

The two of them talk over each other for a moment before Yondu takes a deep breath. “We do not do that to each other. We’re Ravagers, you and me. We got a code.”

You know Yondu is only referring to himself and Peter when he says, ‘We’re Ravagers, you and me,’ and it frankly pisses you off. You’d been working alongside Peter Quill for two years now, you’d proven your worth ten times over, yet you were still treated like an outsider by all of the Ravager factions. Your eyes shift to look away from the blue man on the screen and you let yourself steam.

Peter notices you turn away and argues with Yondu further. “Yeah, and that code is ‘steal from everybody’.”

“When I picked you up on Terra--”

“‘Picked me up’.”

“--these boys of mine wanted to eat you.”

“Yeah?” Peter taunts, clearly angry.

“They ain’t never tasted any Terran before. I stopped ‘em. You’re alive because of me! I will find you, I will--”

Silence fills the ship. You turn to the screen to see it filled with black. Peter had ended the call and was watching you with careful eyes. “You know he didn’t mean that, about you not being a Ravager,” he starts quietly, but you cut him off.

“He’s right.” You sigh heavily, letting the whir of the engine compete with the tension in the air. “I didn’t grow up a Ravager like you or Yondu or any of them. I’m an outsider. I don’t follow a code, and I don’t have a family.” You turn to look at Peter, finally meeting his eyes with your own. “I don’t need a family to know where I belong.”

Peter begins to open his mouth, but you continue. “Let’s just get this orb to Xandar. You can get the units and I’ll repair the ship from your shitty takeoff. You did some serious engine damage on Morag.”

You walked to your room and Peter stayed silent, wishing all the while he’d fought Yondu for your right alongside himself as Ravager when he’d had the chance.

Familiar faces return in the film set in the 90’s finding Brie Larson becoming the Cosmic Avenger!

Captain Marvel takes place during the 1990’s. And as such, we are excited by the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, last seen at the end of 2014’s Captain America: Winter Soldier.

It makes perfect sense for some of these characters to reappear in this time setting, considering the film contains elements of the classic Avengers Kree/Skrull War.

We are starting to get a clear picture of the cast, with the additions of Jude Law as Walter Lawson/Mar-Vell, Ben Mendelsohn in an as-yet, unrevealed villain role, and Lashana Lynch, possibly as fan-favorite Monica Rambeau/Photon!

Via @MarvelStudios on Twitter: MarvelProduction has begun on Marvel Studios’ #CaptainMarvel. @BrieLarson receives instructions from Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt, 57th Wing Commander, on a recent visit to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada to research her character.

Captain Marvel

This article contains nothing but Captain Marvel spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here.

Captain Marvel, the first female-led superhero movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is jam-packed with references to the Captain Marvel comic books, the pre-existing MCU movies (and TV shows!), and tons of nerdy Marvel comics details.

We're trying to track down all of the Marvel easter eggs in the movie... but we need your help. So if you spot something that we missed, shout it out down in the comments, or hit me up on Twitter, and we'll keep updating this until it's the most complete Marvel easter egg guide to Captain Marvel around!

CAROL DANVERS

- Carol Danvers has been around for as long as Marvel Comics has been publishing a character named Captain Marvel. She was created by Roy Thomas and Gene Colan as the head of security at the base where the Captain Mar-Vell (more on that in a minute) was working in disguise as a scientist. Through the years, she has had PLENTY of other jobs and superhero codenames, but has been Captain Marvel for the last few years. Trust us, she earned it.

DELIA...MIND GIVING ME A SHORT PARAGRAPH ON THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HER COMICS AND MOVIE ORIGIN HERE?

read more: The Comics History and Origin of Captain Marvel Explained

- We see Carol fighting insomnia and bad dreams - she always has terrible sleep problems, usually owing to something terrible she’s done or been through recently, like losing all her memories or putting Tony Stark in a coma.

- Carol having messed up memories is A Thing. It’s happened three major times - her split personality when she first got powers as Ms. Marvel, when Rogue accidentally took all her memories, and when she exacerbated a lesion and again forgot all of her memories/who she was.

read more: Captain Marvel Comics Reading Order

- Also, the weird mystery about whether or not Carol is who she thinks she is feels kinda like a callback to the Secret Invasion Captain Marvel story, where it appeared that Mar-Vell has returned to life, but was actually a Skrull who had been “locked” into Mar-Vell’s form and convinced he was the real deal.

- A bunch of cool Carol poses were borrowed directly from frames of the comics, including the fist smash thing in front of Ronin, floating in her red/blue/gold gear for the first time, the helmet, wearing the leather jacket over her uniform, some of the space images...you get the idea.

SKRULLS

The Skrulls were basically the second ever "official" villains of the Marvel Universe, first appearing in Fantastic Four #2. They quickly became perhaps the single most important alien race in Marvel's stable. We have a whole history of the green, shapeshifty crew right here.

- Talos here shares a name with “Talos the Untamed” a far more malevolent and traditionally supervillainous Skrull from the comics. That’s about where the similarity ends, as that Talos couldn’t shapeshift.

- The Kree propaganda that Skrulls will “silently infiltrate and take over” planets is basically the plot of Marvel’s Secret Invasion event, where it was revealed that a number of Marvel characters had been replaced by Skrull doubles.

- The Skrull kid being afraid of Carol because of her uniform with the Hala star is something that comes up pretty frequently in the comics, including provoking a fight with Apha Flight and scary a refugee kid.

- We don’t get to see much of Torfa or “the locals,” but in the second volume of the Kelly Sue DeConnick Captain Marvel run, Carol helps refugees who have been settled there. She ends up in a showdown with intergalactic dictator/sleazebag J’son, Starlord’s comics dad. It also turns out there’s Vibranium there, and mining it too quickly was making the locals sick.

THE KREE

Like the Skrulls, the Kree were introduced in the pages of Fantastic Four, albeit a little bit later (in 1967).

Yon-Rogg

- Yon-Rogg has been around since the very first Marvel version of Captain Marvel, where he was Mar-Vell's commanding officer, sending ol' Marv on dangerous missions that he would sabotage in the hopes of getting rid of him. Why? Because he was in love with the Kree medic, Una, who, of course, only had eyes for Mar-Vell. Did we mention yet that the earliest Captain Marvel comics are very bad? Because they are.

Anyway, Yon-Rogg has also been around since Carol Danvers' beginning as a superhero - he accidentally caused Carol to get powers when he fought Mar-Vell. More recently, he resurfaced with a new identity to threaten Carol’s loved ones and use her as a human battery in an attempt to turn NYC into Hala, after the Kree refused to send a rescue mission to Earth. Nice guy.

read more: How a Captain Marvel Sequel Could Introduce the X-Men

- When Carol is being held in place for her “meeting” with the Supreme Intelligence at the end, it’s the closest we get to the creepy, skeevy tentacles that the SI has in the comics.

Minn-Erva probably didn’t die in that canyon, because Dr. Minnerva is one of Carol’s recurring nemeses.

DELIA CAN YOU FLESH THE MIN-ERVA PART OUT A LITTLE, PLEASE?

- Ronan the Accuser is here, having last been seen meeting his fate in Guardians of the Galaxy (20 years later). Ronan was an integral piece of the comic book version of the Kree-Skrull War, although he seems somewhat less essential here.

- You may also recognize Djimon Hounsou's Korath the Pursuer from Guardians of the Galaxy.

- Before she knows the truth, Carol refers to the Kree as “noble warrior heroes.” In the comics, that is, um...rarely the case. Grant Morrison and JG Jones’ Marvel Boy series perhaps best described the Kree philosophy as being akin to “Zen fascism.”

MAR-VELL

So, before Carol Danvers was Ms. Marvel, Warbird, Binary, or Captain Marvel...Mar-Vell was Captain Marvel. Despite some not terribly memorable early comics by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, and others. He came into his own a few years later, with a much-improved costume he became a very cool piece of Marvel Comics mythology, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Thanos creator Jim Starlin.

Anyway, that Mar-Vell was Dr. Walter (not Wendy) Lawson, a Kree officer running secret missions on Earth. In the MCU, he is gender swapped to Wendy Lawson - with the Wendy portion likely borrowed the name Wendy from Wendy Kawasaki, who was Carol’s assistant and a brilliant scientist in Alpha Flight.

read more: The Many Characters Who Have Been Captain Marvel

- In the comics, Mar-Vell dies of cancer after an encounter with a radioactive villain, rather than the way she is dispatched here.

- Mar-Vell’s ship being secretly in orbit feels like a nod to the earliest Mar-Vell comics, when he was doing research on Earth and Yon-Rogg was monitoring from a ship nearby and generally being a shady ass.

Maria and Monica Rambeau

- Monica Rambeau was the first woman to bear the title of Captain Marvel and the first person other than Mar-Vell himself. She goes on to be one of Carol’s good friends. So when Nick Fury tells young Monica, “only if you learn to glow,” well, guess what? She eventually does!

- Carol calls Monica "Lt. Trouble" a few times. It’s borrowed from her neighbor/friend Kit, another little girl who she inspires and who helps Carol remember her past.

- Maria Rambeau’s callsign is “Photon” which is one of the aliases that Monica went by during her own superheroic career.

- Maria references the idea that women weren’t allowed to fly combat missions, so they took the opportunity they had with Dr. Lawson. Carol’s mentor Helen Cobb had a similar story, and she and her fellow aviatrixes would fly whenever they could, in an attempt to log enough hours to ever be allowed to fly like the men. IRL, women weren’t allowed to fly combat missions in the US Air Force until 1993, when Jeannie M. Leavitt was the first after the ban was dropped. Brig. Gen. Leavitt trained Brie Larson for this role.

GOOSE

- Goose hates everyone who isn’t Carol, so it’s not surprising Fury lost his eye. The Flerken first appeared in Giant Size Ms. Marvel #1, when she came to Carol in the middle of a fight and never left. In addition to stealing every scene of this movie that she was in, Goose often rode in Carol’s lap or on the dash while she flew.

- While the humans were unaware, Talos immediately identified Goose as a highly dangerous Flerken. In the comics, this role went to Rocket Raccoon, who was equally distrusting of the creature. And yay for Flerken-kitty tentacles and expanding, multi-dimensional mouth-pockets!

read more - The History of Goose, Carol Danvers' Cat

- Threatening enemies with a Flerken isn’t a new move. Carol threw her cat at her enemy Traveler, back before she even knew how powerful the cat truly was. It was also sort of an alternate timeline (the House of M universe that Scarlet Witch and her dad Magneto created) so who even know if this really happened, but the cat stuck around and that’s all that matters.

NICK FURY

- We learn a bit about Nick Fury in this movie. His middle name is Joseph (just like in the comics). He was born on the fourth of July (because of course he was). And like his comics counterpart, he served in a war, attained the rank of Colonel, and then went into being a super spy. In the comics, Nick served in World War II not Vietnam (which is where this movie’s timeline places Nick’s military service), and did his super spy-ing in the 1960s at the height of the James Bond craze. In the comics, Fury was born in New York City (presumably on the Lower East Side, where his co-creator Jack Kirby grew up), but here it’s Huntsville, Alabama.

- Fury makes a reference to doing spy work in Budapest. There’s a mysterious reference to a mission that went sideways for Black Widow and Hawkeye in Budapest in the first Avengers movie, but that probably doesn’t have any bearing here.

- Funny enough, Fury makes it a point to say nobody calls him Nick. For decades he headlined a comic as “Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD.” And he does indeed identify himself as an “Agent of SHIELD” when they head to the base, and that’s about as close as we’ll ever get to his old comic book title on screen.

- “My kids, if I had any…” Nick is implying he has no children. Obviously, a lot can change in roughly 25 years, but in the comics, he most certainly DOES have children. The first was Mikel Fury, who became the villainous Scorpio. The other is Nick Fury, Jr., the character Marvel conveniently introduced so they could have a Nick Fury who more closely resembles his cinematic counterpart running around their comics.

- In the comics, Fury lost his eye because of shrapnel from a grenade during the war. Losing his eye due to a Flerken scratch is...ummm...get your Fanboy Tears mugs ready.

- Nick Fury doing a passable rendition of The Marvelettes’ “Please, Mr. Postman” is an MCU highlight reel moment.

MISCELLANEOUS COOL STUFF

- Stan Lee is reading the screenplay for Mallrats on the train. This is like Stan Lee cameo inception, because he actually had a cameo in that very '90s cult hit. Somewhere Kevin Smith is losing his goddamn mind with excitement. Mallrats was released in October 1995, so presumably this places this movie some time in 1994, but the timeline seems a little off.

- When Carol gets off the subway, she walks past a woman with bright red hair and cool glasses. That’s Kelly Sue DeConnick, the writer of Captain Marvel from 2012-2015, who’s largely seen as responsible for the character’s current popularity.

- Project Pegasus - in the Ms. Marvel years, there’s a throwback to Carol’s early days as a spy for joint USAF/intelligence, she was brought onto a secret mission with Tony Stark called Project Pegasus in Uzbekistan. It was a cloaked plane - it didn’t work and she was captured by insurgents in Afghanistan who turned out to have moles inside Shield. (There’s a flash image of I think USAF and CIA together at some point, maybe when the Skrulls go through her memories?)

- When Carol and Monica are flipping through costume colors, the black and white one looks similar to her Warbird getup. the green and white one that her and Monica are like "nah" is Captain Marvel's first costume, which was awful, before it was redesigned.

- There was a baseball mysteriously on the Kree cruiser - I was hoping for some Sox gear since Carol’s a fan, but no dice.

- The Tesseract, of course, was last "seen" in the Marvel timeline in Captain America: The First Avenger, and then will next appear in The Avengers (after this movie's post-credits scene, of course).

- During the fight with the Accusers, Carol basically throws one bomb into the rest, blowing them all up like knocking down bowling pins (they’re even in formation.) Bowling (candlepin, of course) holds a special place in Carol’s lore, as her father loved it, took her family all the time, and that’s where he told her he could only afford to send one kid to college and picked her not-so-studious brother. There's also a (possibly unintentional) similarity to the visuals of '80s arcade classic Missile Command here.

- Fury makes a laser tag reference, likely referring to the actual brand Lazer Tag. Assuming this movie takes place around 1995 (going by the Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness poster, it does), this would have been an out of touch thing to say even then. Lazer Tag peaked as a brand in the late ‘80s, and while it was the slicker, cooler product, the cool kids knew Photon was where it was at.

- If Carol “died” in 1989, then she wouldn’t have been able to be playing Street Fighter II: Champion Edition at Pancho’s, as that didn’t come out until 1992!

- When Fury and Carol are driving along a desert highway and he was trying to figure out her deal, it felt ever-so-slighty reminiscent of John Carpenter’s sci-fi/romance/road trip movie, the greatly underrated Starman.

- Carol’s Kree name of “Vers” is pronounced like “Veers” which makes me think of the ill-fated General Veers from The Empire Strikes Back.

- “Leave the lunchbox, take the Tesseract” is the MCU equivalent of “leave the gun, take the cannoli.”

- Yon-Rogg doing the whole “fight me now without your powers” is basically every disingenuous troll on the internet trying to get people to engage in their stupid bad faith arguments with “debate me!” Carol’s response is the appropriate one.

- Carol apparently loves Guns n’ Roses, absurdly misogynistic lyrics and all. But it’s kind of tough to argue with the raw power of that band in that era. The credits thank the Bill Graham archives, so presumably the GnR ticket stub we see is the real deal and not a prop re-creation. If anyone can spot the date of that show, let us know for extra credit.

- Carol picks up a dual VHS copy of The Right Stuff in Blockbuster, a movie that probably appealed to her back in her Air Force days, and a movie that is totally worth your time if you've never seen it. She also blows up a True Lies standee, which helps place this movie roughly in 1995 (it had a theatrical release in 1994).

THE ENDING

- Taking off to space for an undetermined time is a pretty Carol move - she does it when things go sideways on Earth and she needs to clear her head. She even joined the Guardians of the Galaxy for a bit.

- Fury sees Carol’s call sign, “Avenger” and uses it to name his new initiative of superheroes. This is a fun way to connect Carol’s story to the continuity, and a nod to how often Carol Danvers has been part of (and led) the Avengers. But in the comics, her call sign was Cheeseburger. Tony Stark wanted to know why and she finally relented - in training she had eaten a cheeseburger and puked it up in her plane.

THE POST-CREDITS SCENES

- After seeing Carol make quick work of various communications devices, she tricks Fury’s pager out to the version we saw at the end of Infinity War, which apparently has a range of about three galaxies.

- Black Widow and Carol crossed paths back in their spy days, and Steve Rogers and Carol worked together forever as Avengers. He’s even the one who got her to take the name Captain Marvel...by telling it to the press.

- Are those casualty reports from the end of Infinity War they’re looking at on those screens? That’s...not a good sign.

So what did we miss? Let us know in the comments, and if it checks out, we'll update this!

To Catch a Thief - Part 12

Pairing: Peter Quill x Reader

Word Count: 3221

Warnings: Language

To Catch a Thief Masterlist / Main Masterlist

Peter POV

Arriving in Wakanda with Ronan and Korath, Peter knew this was going to be an interesting retrieval. Peter preferred working alone, Rule #5: Work by yourself every chance you get, but since no one knew where to start the search The Collector thought it best to send a couple of people with him.

Ronan laid a map of Wakanda on top of the Jeep’s hood and decided the necklace had to be in one of three spots: City of the Dead, Warrior Falls, or Jabari Land. Peter wanted to check out Warrior Falls first since Valkyrie's story happened near water, but he got outvoted. Instead, they went into the City of the Dead because the Trinkets believed if you wanted to protect something keep it close, but Peter disagreed.

As Peter suspected the City of the Dead was a dead end. They wasted a whole day only to come up with purple flowers. Korath drove back out of the city towards Warrior Falls and Peter couldn’t keep the smile off his face. He knew they should have started at the Falls, but they didn’t listen. He wasn’t an idiot he knew what he was doing. Rule #200: Research what you are stealing.

“Peter come in, Peter you there,” you said through his comm. “Sorry new to this...um...cough if you can hear me.” Peter coughed, but it turned into one of those coughing fits. “Calm down, I only needed like a single cough; no needed to cough up a lung.” He continued to cough but couldn’t stop the smirk from appearing on his face.

“Sorry, something in my throat,” he coughed again before taking a sip of water.

“I thought you were dying, guess I was mistaken,” Ronan chuckled, staring out the front windshield as Korath drove through the forest.

“Shut up you Big Turd Blossom,” Peter scoffed. “How far are we out?”

“It shouldn’t be much longer,” Korath chimed in, looking at the GPS.

“You finally get a date with the FBI agent neighbor of yours.”

Peter tried to say something, but Korath interrupted him. “Star-Prince a date?” Korath laughed, slapping his hand against the steering wheel. “Good one, Ronan.”

“Come on man.” Peter rolled his eyes staring back out the window. “I don’t think she’d give me much of a chance anymore anyways,” Peter said softly enough for the comm to pick up.

“Yeah, Pete. Kraglin here. If that was meant for YN, she’s not here. Gamora made her go eat dinner. She hasn’t eaten much since we got to Wakanda. If you ask me, she’s worried about you man.”

Peter breathed a half smile as he stared out the window. With all that’s happened, he was worried about you, too. He hated ignoring you and pretending to be busy when all he was doing was drinking his sorrows away at Trash Panda. You needed time to process everything, and Peter wanted to give it to you. He promised he’d talk to you when this is all over.

“We’re here Star-Crunch!” Korath said grabbing his gear out of the back of the jeep.

Peter stepped outside the door and stretched making his back crack. “Already?”

“We need to hike the rest of the way and set up camp. Dusk will soon be upon us soon,” Korath stated. Peter tilted his head up seeing blue skies, but he couldn’t see much more with the tree coverage.

Peter moved to the back of the Jeep to grab his gear when he saw Ronan coming out of the trees. “It’s clear I took care of the guards. Time to move forward,” Ronan mentioned.

“Wait, you killed them?”

“Call it an occupational hazard.”

“Come, let’s get this over with.” Korath walked past them and into the rainforest.

Peter rolled his eyes following behind them carrying his gear. This is why he hated working with the Trinkets, they did whatever they wanted and never had to face the consequences.

“Peter, Peter are you there?” Your voice rang in his ear.

He cracks a half smile at the sound of your voice. “Yeah,” he whispered, rubbing his mouth.

“You’re heading in the right direction. I guess you’re smarter than I pegged you for.” He bit his bottom lip to keep from smiling. His assumption was right the necklace had to be in the falls.

“How much farther is it, gentleman?” Peter asked, stepping over a fallen log.

“We should get there by afternoon tomorrow,” Korath replied, glancing down at his GPS. “But, we have more ground to cover before we reach our camp point?”

“Wow, you have it all figured out already? Rest points, checkpoints, but when are the restroom points?”

“Will you shut up?” Ronan shouted, turning his head towards Peter.

“Will you shut up?” Peter mocked in a whiny voice.

A couple of hours later, they reached their camp point. Peter pulled his gear out of his bag and set up camp. Ronan started a fire to cook his supper, Korath fiddled with his tablet, and Peter laid on his sleeping bag staring at the stars.

“Peter, I'm going to read this gossip magazine because I know you love them.” He furrowed his brows and stared hard at the night sky. He hated gossip magazines he didn’t understand the point of them. Budging into people’s private lives when they're trying to live their own life. He decided as long as he could listen to your voice he’d be okay with it. “What? This comes as a total shock. Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are having a baby! Oh my god, really? This shit is news nowadays. Yeah, this magazine sucks...moving on.” He let out a quiet chuckle.

“How about them Yankees? Just kidding, I don’t pay attention to football. Wait, no that’s baseball,” you laughed. “I’m too sleep deprived for this right now.” Peter loved hearing you laugh. He wished he could be with you right now instead of in the middle of the rainforest pursuing a piece of jewelry he didn’t give a shit about.

“In case you’re wondering, I’m on the first watch, so you’re going to have to listen to my annoying voice. Hope your good with that,” you paused, waiting for a response. He coughed and hummed. “Knew you still like me,” you chuckled.

“I think we need to talk about the elephant over the comm. Since you can’t speak without getting killed, I’ll go first.” You took a deep breath. “At first, I didn’t know why you did it. I thought you were in it for the money or the glory or whatever. Most people are when it comes to these sort of things, but you weren’t Peter. You had a reason, you did it for family, for your mother, and I understand that. I mean, if I could go back to warn my parents about what was going to happen. I’d do it in a heartbeat.” You stayed quiet for a few minutes, and he continued to stare at the stars.

“I kind of miss you. Is that weird to say? I don’t know, but you’re a good guy, Peter,” you confessed, clearing your throat. “And I’m sorry if I did anything disconcerting to make you hate me.”

You thought he hated you. Where did that come from? It was the total opposite, Rule #2: Never get close to a cop, but it’s not like he could say anything right now and not get caught. He’d have to let it pass and talk once this all blows over.

“Ahh, sappy moments. Gross, am I right? Sorry,” you laughed awkwardly. “Anyways, I made a playlist cause I know you’re sick of listening to Korath and Ronan. Enjoy the comm tunes!”

He waited as you put the music through. Right away he heard Faithfully by Journey. He grinned, of course, you would play this song first. He started out singing it quietly which then turned into belting out the chorus.

“Will you shut up? Some people are trying to sleep here,” Ronan shouted, making Peter laugh.

At that moment he didn’t care about anything because over his comm he could hear you giggling. He was the reason behind it, and he couldn’t stop smiling. He turned his back towards the fire and continued to listen to your playlist until he fell asleep.

They walked in silence for a few hours until they reached the edge of a cliff where a river flowed below them. The Golden City was in the far distance surrounded by miles and miles of trees spreading in all directions. The view was breathtaking, and Peter never thought he’d see anything like this.

“This way,” Korath insinuated, turning to walk upstream as the other men followed behind.

“Peter we need to talk.” Your voice rang into his ear.

“Dudes, I gotta take a leak, do you mind if I---” Peter gestured to his crotch before pointing to the trees.

“Make it quick,” Ronan scoffed, shaking his head.

Peter took off his gear and walked into the forest a good distance away from Ronan and Korath before speaking. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. I wanted to give you a heads up at Warrior Falls. Valkyries tunnel is between one of the falls but to get to it you have to stop the water from flowing over the cliffs.”

“How do you reckon we do that?”

“There’s a sensor mechanism in the water like an hourglass funnel. It slows the flow of the water going over the cliffs within a certain diameter when it’s activated. This will make it possible to check the area for tunnels. Shuri changed the algorithm to make it easier to hack for a normal person as she called it. She thinks Korath can do it given his track record.”

“I thought I wasn’t getting any outside help on this?” He questioned with a humorous grin on his face before taking a wide stance.

“Call it a one-time thing.”

“I’ll take what I can get. Thank you,” Peter sighed in contentment.

“You’re...wait, are you...are you peeing?”

“No,” he lied, zipping his pants back up.

“You’re lying.”

“Well….I wasn’t lying when I said I needed to drain the main vein.”

“Yeah, I didn’t need to hear that. Be safe.”

“You too, sweetheart.”

Peter walked back out of the forest to find Korath scanning the surroundings while Ronan stood there with their arms crossed across his chest. “What crawled up your butt, bro?”

“Lose the tracker.”

“Tracker? What tracker?”

“The one in your purse.”

“It’s not a purse, it’s a knapsack, and there’s no tracker in it.” Peter narrowed his eyes at him.

“Korath found it this morning when it was interfering with his tablet. Who have you been talking too?”

“Wow, searching through other people’s things. Real cool guys, thought we could trust each other. And no, I haven’t been talking to anyone, I swear.”

“Then who put the tracker on you.”

“Shit, I don’t know, man. My neighbor. She’s gotten pretty suspicious of me, but I didn’t think she would’ve gone this far.” He opened his knapsack to find the small sticker inside. He ripped it off and held it in the air to examine it. “Huh? Well, this is some fancy tech. Am I right boys?” Korath scoffed as Peter threw it over the cliff into the river below. “Happy?”

“Yes. Let’s keep moving,” Ronan concurred, starting to walk upstream.

“Peter, you there? What are you doing? Why are you going down the stream?” You panicked. “If you are floating down that river dead, I will bring you back and kill you myself. Peter, answer me?”

“I’m fine,” he whispered loud enough for you to hear.

“Thank god. You fucking scared me, Peter! Don’t you dare do that again! Shuri’s going to be pissed you threw away her tech. You know this tech doesn’t just grow on trees, right? Scratch that, it might in Wakanda.” He smiled at your concern.

Peter heard pounding water flowing in the distance, and once they curved around the corner his eyes landed on Warrior Falls. Waterfall after waterfall flowed at once on both sides of the stream. One side of the stream had a higher elevation with various cliffs and plateaus creating small pools of standing water before toppling over into the river. It was really something else. He couldn’t take his eyes off it until the two men stood there glaring at him.

“Did I miss something?” Peter inquired, walking up to them.

“Last night, Korath narrowed down where the correct tunnel could be. But first, he has to hack into the funnel mechanism to stop the water flow,” Ronan shared.

“I guess it’s time to get kinky with some rope then, am I right fellas?” Peter said, rubbing his hands together with anticipation.

Korath hacked into the mechanism with ease slowing down the water flow over the cliffs. Peter took off his knapsack and started pulling out his climbing equipment. Rule #56: Pack more than what you think you’ll need. He drilled the blot into the stone and strung the cable through it as did Ronan and Korath. They scaled down the slippery cliffs, and after a days worth of searching they came up empty.

Another day was drawing to a close, and he didn’t hear a peep out of YN or the team for the past two days. He couldn’t hear anything besides the rushing sound of the water, but at least this whole thing was almost over.

Peter moved onto the next cliff but stopped short when something caught his attention down below. He squinted his eyes, but with the sun setting, it was hard to tell what it could be. He continued to scale down until his feet hit a small pool of water on top of it. He unlatched himself from the cable and walked to the small opening in the corner. He called the other two men over before venturing inside.

“Who’s first?” Peter asked, getting no reply. “Okay, guess I’ll go first. Not like I wasn’t the one who found it in the first place, but hey, let’s send the expendable one in first,” Peter mumbled, entering the cave tunnel alone. He shined his flashlight inside only seeing darkness. “Okay, you got this, your Star-Lord. All I have to do is find this necklace, get my mom back, then get the girl. We’ll all live happily ever after like Kevin Bacon.”

Walking through the dark and quiet tunnel, he beamed his flashlight until he stepped into a dim lit room. A language Peter didn’t recognize was written on the walls and skeletons laid on the ground wearing protective gear. A stone pillar sat in the center of the room with grooves carved into the top. This had to be the place he read about. “I thought this place was a myth.”

“A myth, no, this place and the stones are very real,” Ronan stated, coming out of the tunnel with an evil look plastered on his face. “Now, where is the Soul Stone?”

Valkyrie left this cave leaving behind the Soul Stone. If she never returned, it should be on the pillar, but Peter saw no sign of it anywhere. Did she come back after her tribe exiled her? Peter’s eyes wandered around the cave seeing glass bottles, tankards, and goblets laying all over the ground. In every book he read about these stones each one mentioned Valkyries drinking problem. This further proved his theory. She must’ve returned and hid the stone away from those who wouldn’t understand it. Maybe, she didn’t die from drinking but from protecting the stone.

“Quill, any ideas?” Ronan asked as Peter rubbed his forehead continuing to think. “Quill.”

“Valkyrie came back.”

“Who?” Korath asked.

“Come on man, Valkyrie. The badass woman that left her village in search of new aspirations. The one who found these stones in the first place. She came back for the stone she left behind.”

“Why does that matter?” Ronan questioned, crossing his arms across his chest.

“Well, I think she came back to destroy it but found out she couldn’t, so she stayed here to protect it," Peter answered, resting his hands on his hips.

“Then, what did she do with it?”

“Best guess, she hid it in the walls or buried it somewhere.”

“Let’s search everywhere.”

Peter sat against the wall out of breath. They’ve been at this for hours only to come up with nothing, again. The room was dark with the only light coming from their flashlights. He tried to contact YN’s team, but all he heard was silence. Did his comm unit stop working after all the water activity? And if the Wakandans knew the stone was here, why haven’t they tried to retrieve it?

“Quill, get off your ass and find it. We are running out of sunlight,” Ronan sneered, kicking Peter’s boot.

“We are out of sunlight idiot. It’s pitch black in here.”

“I don’t care. What do you think flashlights are for?”

Peter stood up and patted the dirt off his pants. He stepped over to the pillar in the center of the room to take a closer look at it. “One, two, three, four, five,” Peter counted, shining his flashlight over the grooves. Then, he counted again. “Did no one think to count the grooves in this thing?” Peter inquired, pointing his flashlight in Ronan and Korath face.

“No, what’s the point? There are six stones so six grooves.” Ronan spoke up.

“Yeah, well I’m not so sure about that because I only count five grooves.”

“What?” Ronan rushed over, pushing Peter out of the way to count them for himself. “We have been searching for a stone that doesn’t exist?”

“Not exactly, it could be a key, you know like all five stones open a door, or hatch of some sort to retrieve the sixth stone. Have neither of you seen a movie?” Ronan and Korth stared at him dumbfounded. “Do either of you have the stones along with you?”

“I’ll make a call to The Collector. Korath, I will need your assistance with the connection.” They leave heading back out the tunnel, and Peter breaks into a dance and starts singing Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

“Peter, you hear me?” your voice rang statically through his ear making him stop and glance back at the entrance before he answered.

“Yes.”

“Nice dance moves,” you chuckled.

“Thanks! Wait, you can see me?” He asked, shining the flashlight around the room.

“Clear as day. Shuri installed these Ultra HD cameras she invented down there, but trust me, you won’t find them. They’re the size of a thumbtack, and they can camouflage themselves.” He huffed, observing the room with his flashlight again only to find nothing.

“No kidding! Then, this one’s for you, sweetheart.” He started dancing again and shaking his hips forcing a giggle out of you.

“What are you celebrating?”

“The Collector’s coming to Wakanda, and he’s bringing the necklaces with him.” Peter shuffled in place doing the Single Ladies dance. “Then the FBI, being you and the team,--” he pointed to an area on the wall then pointed to a different area before shrugging "--will take his ass down, and sweetheart, that’s worth celebrating.” Rule #1: Never fall in love.

AN: Things are getting deep! Do you think their plan will work out? What kind of trickery do you think Valkyrie created in order to protect the stone? Will it be an easy in and out, or will someone not make it to the end? Find out next week! As always thanks for reading!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Part 2 (Peter Quill x Reader)

Part 1

A/N: Here is the second part for my Guardians of the Galaxy series. I don't like the first part too much because Peter isn't in it, but at least it gives a little backstory on the reader.

Warnings: swearing, mild violence, fluff

26 YEARS LATER

MORAG 2014

You step out of your spaceship letting the breeze on the abandoned planet blow through you. Surrounding you are rocks and debris that appear to be populated by small, rodent-like creatures. How the hell are you supposed to find some fancy orb here? You spin around trying to find clues. There's nothing intriguing. All of the rocks look misshapen, out of place, falling apart. The debris floats across the ground or rests on top of rock formations. The creatures lurk creepily, sending shivers down your spine. It's hopeless. There are no possible hints leading to your end goal. On the brink of giving up, you think back to your sister: Gamora. You managed to escape the wrath of Thanos almost two decades ago, but she didn't.

Not long after your departure from Thanos' ship, you became a petty thief, making a bit of money here and there, sometimes at the cost of others whose items you were swiping. But, amidst the fun you had, there were melancholy times of loneliness where you longed for your friends again. Shortly after being taken from Terra, you, Gamora, and Nebula grew inseparable. You were sisters. The sisters you chose to leave behind in order to escape, only helping yourself. Recently, you ran into Gamora, the now tough assassin who had every right to be mean to you after skipping town on her and Nebula. But, she always had a soft spot for you, randomly being abducted and only trying to get out of whatever Thanos had planned, so she forgave you.

Gamora told you about how she and Nebula turned against each other after you left, longing for you to return and bring the friendship back somehow. She talked about how Thanos had become more powerful and menacing as time went on, and she was planning on betraying him through Ronan. Ronan is one of the Kree people who is working with Thanos in order to bring equality to the universe. He needs the orb to gain strength, which is exactly what Gamora promised to bring him. Obviously, she is not going to follow through and she actually intends on selling it to a third party. This third party is willing to pay a copious amount of units, something you love. You could use a few units to fix up your ship and it feels amazing having Gamora back as a friend, so she let you assist her in her plan.

That's why you're on Morag, scoping a dusty, old planet and looking for some fruity orb. To make the search possible, you need your beloved walkman. You put in your headphones and strap the device to your pants. Upon pressing play, you instantly recognize the song. Letting the rhythm take you, you start wandering the planet on a hunt for the orb.

Peter Quill waltzes out of the Milano, walkman at his hip, per usual. He is looking for some kind of orb. The same orb you are currently searching for yourself. Yondu sent Peter to Morag in search of the orb, however, he is destined to retrieve it before Yondu and make a little bank for himself. Upon reaching a flat area, Peter retracts his mask and presses play on his walkman. "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone starts playing and he instantly picks up with the melody. He dances and sings along, never missing a beat after hearing the song so many times. He kicks some rocks and creatures out of his way, enjoying himself as he continues to get closer to his destination.

Hearing a noise, Peter immediately comes to a halt. He can hear someone moving near him, but he also hears...music? He takes his headphones off and presses pause on the walkman. He still hears the faded notes to a legendary song. Not only does he know this song, but he loves this song. Turning around in circles, he sees the source of the noise. His mouth falls agape as he looks at you, dancing, completely oblivious to everything around you.

"If you like piña coladas,

and getting caught in the rain,"

You belt your heart out into the lyrics as the song plays on your walkman. You sway your hips to the beat, finding the rhythm and making a fool of yourself as you move to it. You've become immune to dancing and singing alone in the comfort of your own ship that the thought of another being witnessing you has never crossed your mind. The days alone on your ship are spent blaring one of your tapes at an unhealthy volume and following all of the songs you know so damn well. Although you couldn't dance to save your own life, you lack embarrassment and just look so confident doing it that it almost looks good. Does Peter find this cute? Hell yeah, he does.

"If you're not into yoga,

if you have half a brain,"

You continue to sing as you head in the same direction as Peter, who is still in shock at this lovely woman in front of him. A Terran? With a walkman? That likes the same music he does? That's the dream! You are absolutely breathtaking to him. He finds himself infatuated by your awful dancing and off-pitch singing. Snapping out of his gaze, he returns to his casanova demeanor and upturns the corners of his mouth into a smirk as he saunters over to you.

"If you like making love at midnight,

in the dunes of the-"

Your singing is cut off by a man who stands in front of you, holding the earbuds he just took out of your ears in the middle of your jam session. Your face heats up slightly at the fact you were just dancing like no one was watching because you really did believe that no one was watching. You slowly lift your head up to meet the man's eyes. He wears a confident smirk and a smoldering gaze as he leans against the rock pile next to him. He eyes you up and down, not ashamed to check you out. It's flattering.

"What's funny is that I do, in fact, like piña coladas and gettin’ caught in the rain," he says, continuing to let his eyes linger on your body.

Trying to act annoyed, you roll your eyes at him, but you can't help stifling a quaint laugh at the cheesy line he just fed you. "Good one," you retort, crossing your arms and stepping past him towards a flight of stairs.

"Don't you like makin’ love at midnight?" he calls out after you. You quietly giggle, again. Why is his goofy charm working on you? Hopefully, he didn't hear you laugh. He follows you up the stairs as you open the large doors, revealing a dark cave. On a podium, sits a glowing ball, which you naturally assume is the orb.

You walk over to it and the man grabs your wrist. "And just what in the hell do you think you're doin'?" he questions you, slightly pulling you back from the orb.

"Probably retrieving this strange ball that appears to have the importance of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber or something," you huff. Peter's eyes widen at your reference to Star Wars, something nobody else in the galaxy would know but him. You raise an eyebrow at his silence and dropped jaw. "So, you know, I'm doing exactly what I came here for."

He chuckles at your words, a sincere laugh, and you can't help but smile. "Sounds like something I would say about this stupid thing," he says. You shrug, still impressed you made him laugh. Peter follows the outline of your figure with eyes again, followed by genuine eye contact. "You're from Terra."

"Wow, Sherlock, I'm impressed." The words spit out of your mouth sarcastically, but only with good intentions. "How else would I know about Star Wars?"

"You make a valid point."

You shake your head and lean towards the orb again. "I know. Can I get back to my job now?"

"No!" Peter yanks you back from the orb. "You're all wrong about retrieving it, darlin', it makes me think you're a terrible theif. You can't just grab shit like this. Here, allow me to demonstrate." With a cocky wriggle of his eyebrows, he pulls something out of his bag and lays it down on the ground. The orb slowly gravitates toward it and sure enough, it works. He picks up the orb and tosses it up in the air playfully.

You try your hardest to not act impressed. "Rad," you mutter. "Thanks a lot."

He gently places the orb in your hands and flashes you a bright grin. "You're very welcome. The name's Peter, by the way, Peter Quill, but people call me Star-Lord."

"Well, Star-Lord, I'm Y/N, Y/N L/N, and people don't call me by a silly, code name."

Peter shifts uncomfortably and rolls his eyes at you. "It's an outlaw name," he mumbles.

Suddenly, the doors are thrown open and several Kree men flood in. The leader, Korath, is followed by his henchmen that fill the room, surrounding you and Peter.

"Drop it!" Korath commands. The henchmen grab you and Peter, and you instinctively place the orb down on the ground.

"Hey! Relax. It's not a problem."

Peter backs you up. "Yeah, no problem at all."

Korath picks up the orb and inspects it. "How do you know about this?"

"I don't even know what that is. I'm just a junker, man. We were just...just checking stuff out," Thankfully, Peter talks first, so you don't have to come up with some lie to get out of this situation. Not that he did any better with the talking.

"You don't look like a junker. You're wearing Ravager garb!" Korath shouts as his henchmen begin to prod you and Peter with their guns.

"This is just an outfit, man," he states as one of the henchmen pushes you harshly closer to Peter. "Ninja Turtle, you better stop pokin' her." You grin at his words, making sure to hold back your laughter given your current state.

"What is your name?" Korath asks, turning to you.

"Y/N L/N."

"And you?" he gestures to Peter.

"My name is Peter Quill, okay? Dude, chill out."

"Move!" he shouts.

You raise your eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"

"Ronan may have questions for you." Shit, you do not need to see Ronan right now, or ever.

Peter puts a stop to their movement. "Hey, you know what? There's another name you might know me by," he says, smirking yet again. "Star-Lord"

Korath curls his face up in confusion. "Who?"

Peter sighs deeply. "Star-Lord, man. Legendary outlaw." He turns to the henchmen. "Guys?" The men say nothing and on Korath's command, they usher you and Peter towards the door again.

"Oh, fuck this," you state, throwing a nod to Peter who nods right back, ready for action. You kick the man who was holding you back and take his gun from him. You use it to hit him on the head as well as shoot the few men next to him, knocking them out. You quickly dash for the door but feel like you can't leave without Peter. You take a look behind you. He activates his mask and shoots at the remaining henchmen. He tries to pick up the orb, struggling with Korath. Finally, Korath goes down and falls unconscious after another shot from Peter's gun. You're surprised at what a good team you the two of you make.

Switching on his rocket boots, Peter flies past you, grabbing you by the waist and scooping you up to fly with him. Only in the air for a few moments, you take this time to actually check him out. His mask is covering his face but you already know he is handsome with those mossy, green eyes and arrogant smirk. He has dirty, blonde hair that isn't super messy but dismantled enough to make it attractive. He has a tall build and you can feel his muscular arms press against you as you both land back on the ground.

Damn, you have the hots for a man who calls himself Star-Lord.

Hey!, let’s get to know The Kree!!

The Kree are an ancient and highly advanced alien race from the Marvel Universe. Millennia ago, The Kree came to Earth and performed experiments on prehistoric man, thus creating The Inhumans. With Ewing and Meyers’ upcoming series, The Royals, it seems quite likely The Inhuman are once more going to come into conflict with The Kree. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the Kree Empire as well as some of the more notable individual Kree the Inhumans may end up encountering.

Much, much more following the jump...

The Kree Empire was founded millions of years ago when the shape-shifting Skrulls came upon the planet of Hala and introduced the relatively less advanced native people to their technology. Led by Emperor Morag, the native Kree murdered their Skrull benefactors and stole the technology. The Kree eventually mastered and advanced this technology becoming a formidable space-faring force set upon conquering the known universe. The Skrulls ultimately returned to avenge the deaths of their emissaries and thus began the Kree-Skrull War, a conflict that has waged on for centuries.

The constant war between the Kree and Skrull Empires led both sides to develop newer and more advanced weapons. The Skrull devised the reality warping Cosmic Cube whereas the Kree pooled their greatest intellects together to create a flawless tactical leader in the form of the Supreme Intelligence. The Inhumans were another of The Kree’s attempt to forge a weapon in their war against the Skrulls. They hoped that combining Celestial DNA with the primitive humans of earth might produce super soldiers to be sent to do battle with the Skulls. It was an experiment the Kree ultimately abandoned.

Centuries passed and the war eventually made its way to Earth. The Avengers interceded and brought about a temporary cessation in the conflict.

Later, The Skrull Empire suffered a significant blow when their throne world was destroyed and consumed by Galactus.

With the Skrulls seemingly defeated, The Kree quickly became embroiled in a new war against the Shi’ar Empire. This first Kree/Shi’ar War came to an end with the detonation of the Nega Bomb, causing a rip in the space-time continuum that devastated the Kree Empire. The remnants of this empire were then annexed by the victorious Shi’ar.

Shortly thereafter, the Kree’s high commander, The Supreme Intelligence, was assassinated in a coop orchestrated by the would-be usurper, Zarek. With the assistance of The Avengers, Zarek and his forces her defeated and Ronan the Accuser assumed lordship over a new and rebuilding Kree Empire.

Later, the Shi’ar Majestrix, Lilandra, was murdered by the renegade Mutant, Vulcan, who then named himself the new emperor the Shi’ar. Vulcan began a campaign of conquest that looked to again annex the fledgling new Kree Empire.

Following The Secret invasion event, Ronan entered into a pact with the Inhumans of Attilan. Led by The Inhumans, The Kree fought back The Shi’ar and Emperor Vulcan was defeated and destroyed by Black Bolt.

In the aftermath of this war, Queen Medusa was made the ruler of the Kree Empire; a matter that was further cemented by the marriage between Ronan the Accuser and Medusa’s sister, Crystal.

The Inhumans ruled the empire for a brief time until Black Bolt led the Kree in a brief and decisive battle against the Council of Alternate Reality Reed Richards. In the wake of this battle, a time-displaced adult Franklin Richards negotiated a peace treaty between earth and the Kree. The Inhumans abdicated their rule over the Kree and the marriage between Ronan and Crystal was annulled.

Captured members of the Council of Alternate Reality Reed Richards were merged in a process that created a new Supreme Intelligence, who then ruled the new Kree Empire alongside Ronan The Accuser. In the wake of the Infinity Event, The Kree emerged as an invigorated and powerful force through the cosmos.

Some time later, The Kree homeward of Hala was destroyed by the Slaughter Lords, a group of villains empowered by the Black Vortex. The Empire has since establish Nova Hala IV as its new throne world.

More recently, operatives of the Empire have acted in a fashion suggesting they are no longer interested in honoring the treaty enforcing noninvolvement with earth. Black Bolt encountered and dispatched several Kree agents who were conducted experiments on Earth and the Kree general, Padd-Varr, waged a brief and unsuccessful attack on the young Inhuman known as Moon Girl (a conflict that was actually the result of the general’s mischievous son, Mel-Varr).

What the future holds for The Kree and their involvement in the affairs of the Inhumans remains to be seen.

There are many notable Kree characters who have appeared over the years. The following are just some of the names and faces who are likely to be referenced or possibly show up in future issues of The Royals.

Captain Mar-Vell, the greatest hero of Hala whose powers were eventually passed on to Carol Danvers.

Noh-Varr, a Kree from an alternative time-line. He possesses powers and abilities far superior to the Kree of the 616 reality, indicating that he hailed from a version of the Empire that was able to traverse the upper limitations of Kree evolution. Noh-Varr has been a member of the Avengers and Young Avengers and is set to be the Royal guide in their foray into the cosmos.

Carol Danvers. A Kree/Human hybrid who gained the powers of Mar-Vell and is the current Captain Marvel. She is the leader of Alpha Flight, a planetary security force that protects the earth from extra terrestrial threats.

Hulkling. Teddy Alman (or Prince Dorrek VIII), a half-Kree who is the son of Mar-Vel and the former Skrull princess, Anelle. Hulking possesses Skrull-based shapeshifting powers and has served as a member of The Avengers. Both the Kree and Skrull Empires have sought to claim Hulking as their own due to his prestigious family lineage.

Ronan The Accuser. A military high commander who rose through the ranks to lead the Empire. He has acted as both enemy and ally to the Inhuman over the years and, though they parted on poor terms, it seemed clear that both he and Crystal maintain very strong feelings for one another. It is a rather sure bet that Ronan will play a part in The Royals’ adventures in space.

The Supreme Intelligence, or Supremor, is the tactical and intellectual leader of the Empire; an organic computer who is a living depository of the collective knowledge of their entire race. Although not one to put stake in spiritual prophecy, Supremor remains steadfast on wanting to destroy the Inhumans so to prevent an ancient prophecy dictating that The inhumans will one day destroy the Empire.

Phyla-Vell. The daughter of Mar-Vell from an alternative timeline. Phyla took on the mantle of her father and acted as the new Captain Marvel. She later assumed the mantle of the hero, Quasar. Phyla was apparently killed by Maelstrom, but it is quite likely that she will return at some point in the future.

Genis-Vell. The artificially created son of Mar-Vell. He too took on the mantel of his father and acted as the new Captain Marvel. He was later apparently destroyed by Baron Zemo.

Doctor Minerva is a renegade Kree scientist who has been a reoccurring adversary of Carol Danvers. Through her genetic experiments, Min-Erva has managed to endow herself with the same powers as Captain Marvel. A former member of ‘Star-Force’ Kree task force it is possible that the villain will cross paths with The Royals.

Mel-Varr (also known as Kid Kree) is a Kree youth, daydreamer and troublemaker who has tasked himself with hunting Inhumans as an effort to win the approval of his overbearing father. Kid Kree chose to track down the Inhuman, Lunella Lafayette, yet instead of capturing her he fell in love with her and was heartbroken and crestfallen when Lunella rejected his ovations and his father had to collect him from Earth. It is very unlikely we have seen the last of Kid Kree.

Una. A former love interest of Mar-Vell and the medical officer aboard the craft that brought him to earth. Una tragically perished during a mission on Mars.

Bel-Dann. A Kree colonel and decorated warrior who acted as a participant in the combat trial of Jan Grey. Rather than fulfilling his duty to try to conquer the X-Men, Bel-Dann instead engaged in a grudge match against a Skrull soldier who was also their for the trial. The battle between the two waged for years, well beyond the trial. Their elongated conflict ultimately disrupted the marriage of Black Bolt and Medusa, after which both combatants were returned to their respective home worlds by The Watcher. It’s quite likely that Bel-Dann still holds animosity toward The Inhumans for their interference.

Yon-Rogg. A former colonel of the Kree Empire and longtime adversary of both Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers. His current status and whereabout are unknown.

Mon-Tog. A major in the Kree Empire and former adversary of The Inhumans. Ton-Tog waged a hard-fought battle against Attilan and nearly proved victorious. He is a skilled combatant and his use of advanced weaponry nearly enabled him to defeat Black Bolt in single combat. Mon-Tog was ultimately defeated and forced to return to manning a Kree outpost near the Stent Star Cluster. It’s a sure bet that Mon-Tog is desirous of a rematch against The Inhumans and quite possible that we will see him show up in the pages of The Royals.

Korath the Pursuer. ‘Pursuers’ are a special designation among the military of the Kree, scientifically endowed individuals sent to extract vengeance on any who defied the empire. Karate was originally sent to earth to destroy the Inhumans; a mission he ultimately failed to complete. Korath has since been recruited into the StarForce program and his current whereabouts are unknown. It’s a very good bet that he and the Inhuman will cross paths again some time soon.

Shatterax. A cybernetically enhanced Kree solider who served in the Kree special missions program known as StarForce. His current whereabout remain unknown, but it is possible that The Inhumans may run afoul of StarForce at some point in the pages of The Royals.

Ko-Rel. A Kree captain who became a member of the Nova Corps while protecting and caring for a critically injured Richard Rider. Ko-Rel fought valiantly but ultimately perished during the Annihilation cross-over event.

Wraith. A mysterious Kree renegade who wields dark force energies and possesses unspecified psychic abilities. The Wraith proved an invaluable asset to the Kree in their battles against The Phalanx. His current status and whereabouts remain unknown.

At-Lass. A Kree captain recruited by Minerva and imbued with superpowers. He served as a member of the StarForce and was later mutated into a monstrous being by a device called the Psycho-Magnatron.

Falzon. A kree scientist and weapons designer who created the super soldier known as Shatterstar (who was sent to earth to eradicate The Inhumans). The test subject who became Shatterstar was actually, Falzon’s son, Arides. Falzon had a change of heart, siding with the Inhumans as part of an effort to save his son. Shatterstar turned on his father and murdered Falzon before being defeated by The Inhumans.

Shatterstar. Arides,a Kree soldier who was transformed into an experimental super soldier by his scientist father. Although the process endowed Arides with vast powers, it also drove him mad and he killed his father. Shatterstar was ultimately defeated and seemingly destroyed; though it is possible that he or another version of Shatterstar might return to bedevil The inhumans.

Mac-Ron. A skilled Kree scientist and frequent ally of Ronan The Accuser. He hasn’t been seen from in some time and his current whereabouts remain unknown, but it is possible that he may return in the future.

Ael-Dan. A former Kree general and one time emperor who managed to usurp The Supreme Intelligence to gain rulership over The Kree. Ael-Dan’s rule proved temporary, however, as he was killed by Deathbird of The Shi’ar.

Una-Rogg. The daughter of the Captain Marvel foe, Yon Rog. Uma possesses vampire-like powers that allows her to drain the life energies from others by way of physical contact. She set out to avenger her father’s death and ended up battling Mar-Vell’s son. Genis-Vell. Uma-Rogg has been banished from the Empire by Ronan and her current whereabouts remain unrevealed.

Pad-Varr and Ell-Vok. The parents of Mel-Varr, the Kree youngster known as Kid Kree. Pad-Vara is a high-ranking general among the Kree military forces of Nova Hala IV; although it his wife, Ell-Vok who is actually vey much in charge of things in the Varr household.

Sentry(s). Sophisticated and highly powerful androids that Kree explorers leave on planets so to monitor the development of the native life. The androids monitor the progress of the natives and, if at any point they progress to a point where they may prove a threat to The Kree Empire, The Sentry then activates and uses its awesome powers and advanced weaponry to wipe this life out. Sentry androids have additionally been utilized in military campaigns.

Ultimus. A Kree powerhouse who is both a Kree as well as an Eternal. Ultimo battled Thor and later returned to Hala where he was made a member of the Starforce in the Kree’s war with The Shi’ar Empire. His current whereabout are unknown. He’s a tough customer and could definitely stand his own against Black Bolt. It would be a cool battle to see.

The Priests of Pama. In the earlier history of Hala, The Kree shared the planet with a cousin race known as The Cotati. These were a much more peaceful and spiritually inclined people whom the militarized Kree subjugated and nearly all but wiped out. What was left of The Cotati fled Hala to places unknown, some ending up on Earth where they fostered a secret enclave in a remote corner of Viet Nam. They continued their spiritual practices, training the hero and former Avenger known as Mantis; these mystics additionally assisted Phyla-Vell. Some of the Cotati remained on Hala and assimilated into Kree culture, ultimately founding the bedrock of the spiritual faith of The Kree people.

Morag. The first ruler of the nascent Kree Empire.

Huran The Accuser. The lord of the Accuser Caste thousands of years ago. The Supreme Intelligence had learned of a prophecy suggesting that the Kree’s Inhuman experiments would bring about the downfall of the Empire. Not will to risk such a fate, all such experimentations were abandoned and Huran was sent to cull all of the Inhumans created throughout the galaxy. Huran did not possess the complete list of all such planets and five managed to survive; the Earth and its Inhumans were among this group.

Galen Kor. A veteran of the Kree/Shi’ar War who sought out vengeance on the Avengers for their interference. Later, Kor was placed in charge of a forward operations base during the Annihilation event. He tasked Peter Quill (Star Lord) with a dangerous mission to take out a Kree settlement that had been overrun by the Phalanx. The team Quill ultimate recruited for this mission became the new Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ten-Cor. Galen Kor’s assistant and chief medical officer. Ten enjoyed a friendly and flirtatious relationship with Peter Quill (Star Lord).

Zarek. The self-proclaimed prime minister of the Kree Empire and founder of the Lunatic Legion. Zaire was a zealot and racial supremacist who believed that blue-skinned Kree were superior to their pink and brown skinned cousins. He formed his Lunatic Legion as part of an effort to overthrow the Empire and impose his racist agenda. As part of an effort to neutralize the threat this would-be dictator posed, The Supreme Intelligence posed Zarek and his forces against Captain Mar-Vell. Mar-vell handily defeated the Legion and Zarek was deposed and banished from the empire.

Devros. A former grand admiral of the Kree armada. Devisor was captured by the Brood and transformed into their new Brood King, reselling a hybrid Brood/Kree being. Devisor was ultimately defeated and killed by Captain Mar-Vel.

Talla-Rann. A lieutenant in Zarek’s Lunatic Legion. Rann was dissolved by a malfunction in the omniwave projector.

Sro-Himm. A scientist, ally to Zarek, and member of the Lunatic Legion. Sro-Himm created the super villain Nitro who was sent to destroy Captain Mar-Vell. The scientist was banished from the empire with the rest of the Lunatic Legion and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Please let me know if there are any key pieces of Kree history I’ve omitted or notable Kree characters who should be included in this list!
