#torntruth: carol danvers.

[shefatalesarch]

OH HOW THE WORLD CHANGED FAST but if there was anyone he could truly relate to outside of tony it was a fellow pilot. even if she was a literal cosmic badass. “danvers, if you’re not looking to fly out of the atmosphere too fast, how about we get a drink?” there was no expectations with her honestly, but he did want to get some time with her. they had worked together when the world went to shit even if it was worlds apart, they had been a rag tag team with the widow but they had always made it work. however, she had been out of world a lot dealing with the side of things most of them couldn’t even cross, which meant he didn’t actually know her as well as he might like to. 

“one drink then you’re free to…. “ he gave a whistle as he gestured his hand upwards and then arched his brow. “no strings, no expectations to actually crack open the shell of carol danvers, just a drink. and what i think to be pretty good company if i do say so myself.” he offered out as a little cherry as if he sold it somehow, but either way he just hoped she might agree.

It felt like the only time she left the tower was for her morning walks, battles that needed her might, or whenever Carol had an idea to get Kassandra to experience some new part of the modern era she thought the immortal would enjoy. And it hasn't failed yet. Carol had managed to cure her boredom every single time. The troubling thing was, she realized a familiar feeling was brewing in her gut. That fluttering feeling whenever Carol checked in on her. At first, she chalked it up to the fact that the blonde felt responsible for her. But it felt like something else. The woman became the first friend Kassandra had since awakening once more.

But... what if it was more than that? There is no mistaking what the Keeper is feeling, she knows that flutter.

Of course, she doesn't realize she's staring until Carol waves a hand in front of her face. "Hello, ground control to Kassandra. Are you okay? You zoned out on me." Unfortunately, she only parses about half of that. She's searching for something, a sign that Carol feels that same feeling she does. The Keeper shakes her head. "I'm fine. I just... got lost in thought is all." Or her eyes. Damn. She has to know, she has to know that it's not just her.

Studying her features just a moment longer, her eyes momentarily fall on her lips. Gods, either she's about to misread this entire thing or she's about to make the best decision since she was revived. Her hand reaches out to grab Carol by the lapel of her bomber jacket, pulling her in as she presses a kiss against her lips, tasting the chapstick on her lips.

+ “ You know, it feels REALLY good to be the one to SAVE you once in a while. “ It’s been too long, and she knows neither of them are KEEPING SCORE , but she’s definitely got a playful SMIRK peeking at one corner of her lips . Coming in for a landing, she knows she’s already ready to spring for a playful COMEBACK should the need arise .

"You don't have to do this, you know?" / from carol to the hunter

❝ There's a great many things that people don't have to do. ❞ She points out, there's plenty that they could debate over from the way people interact with each other to what a person does in their spare time. The modern world especially was an example of what people didn't have to do, survival was different, day to day lives were different. So much more of what people did wasn't because they had to survive, because they had to.

❝ I do this because it is me, who I do and what I do; first, I was a hunter because I had to, a demon slayer out of necessity, and there are still evils to be hunt, to be taken down. Part of this, I've come to peace with, is that I like doing it. ❞ The Hunter's coming to terms that she likes being The Hunter, she likes being a hero; not necessarily for the glory, but because protecting this new world and helping people, mattered, felt good.

They smile to Carol, buckling straps up and slipping her sword into a sheath. ❝ Now are you gonna join me? ❞

[missallanea-a]

"Pretty tired of all these articles 'bout the Avengers." It's unclear if the young woman is speaking to anyone in particular : certainly clear is that she hasn't noticed who she's in the presence of, saying things like this. "They didn't save shit. All they did was put things back th' way they were before. That isn't saved... Not for anyone but the people who look an' act like them."

It was quite the adjustment period, going from ancient warrior to woman of the modern world. An adjustment period she is still going through. Smart phones confuse her, tv remotes confuse her. Ancient yet advanced godly tech? Not a problem, figuring out how to work the smart refrigerator? Catastrophic. Sometimes she wonders if she leans on Carol too much for guidance but moments like this tell her that's preposterous. Carol always seems happy to help her, even if there's a chuckle or two thrown in, she never feels disrespected by it. It's clear she isn't the only one here who had to be caught up on modern technology, she was just the furthest behind.

With Carol, Kassandra feels more confident about her place in a world that had forgotten her. A Greek myth that was lost to time, not like her further ancestors like Herakles or even her grandfather Leonidas. She was a legend lost to time some place, somewhere, an unidentifiable statue of a hero. But here she is not forgotten, she is remembered, she is loved. Could there be any greater feeling than that?

Kassandra loves the way Carol smiles, especially when there's a bit of mischief and seduction to it. Even more so when she can tell she's genuinely happy. Isn't that all anyone ever wants? Brown eyes fall half-lidded as Carol's hands move, tilting her head so Carol could have a better angle to kiss her lip and then her chin. Kassandra's hands find her hips, pulling her close and humming contently. "You know how to make a woman feel welcome in the modern world." It's cheesy, she doesn't care. She just wants to spend the whole night with Carol, doing whatever they please.

DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN KASSANDRA MESSAGED HER OVER THE TV ... carol was standing over a console on her ship. head bowed. wondering once again how she got caught up in somebody else's war and if she was even doing the right thing. A WOMAN OF WAR , always. and kassandra's question was so simple. it reminded her that it wasn't always. so she picked up her head and answered the question , then helped the side that truly needed help. because that's what she does.

... and then she goes home. and unlike rhodey , she doesn't doubt herself with kassandra. she still can't quite explain what it is. HE DOESN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE. he's too good for that , she just somehow doubts herself around him. maybe he's too fragile , too human , too homebody. and maybe kassandra is a little bit more of a balance. that keeps her more grounded.

it's all in the way carol smiles. maybe a little devious , a little seductive , definitely HAPPY . not that a date didn't sound enticing , but it's obvious when carol is into someone when she just wants to stay in. SHE'S ALWAYS ON THE GO OTHERWISE . carol's hands shift , fingers gliding along kassandra's jawline until they were resting near kassandra's ears. just so she could tilt the taller woman's head down more. a kiss is pressed against kassandra's bottom lip. then her chin. THE SMILE IS STILL THERE . the night is about to belong to them.

and maybe an alien cat for some food.

Carol looked over at her. "I hadn't realized it had." She said. "Who cancels a condiment?" She asked. She was pretty sure she'd used that in the right context.

Starter from Tony for Carol Danvers @torntruth

Recovery took much longer than he would have liked, but then coming close to dying was bound to take a toll on ones body. Tony is well aware that he would have died out there in space, he had been ready to accept his death, if it hadn't been for one very specific person.

There hadn't been an opportunity for him to properly speak or even thank Carol for saving him out there. Something he would like to finally change. Friday had told him where to find her. It wasn't very far from the infirmary and yet the short walk was already exhausting for him. Nothing he couldn't power through for a moment though.

"Miss Danvers? Do you have a moment of time for me?"

[heavyweighthappy]

( impromptu starter for Carol Danvers, during Endgame, post snap, @torntruth​ )

They said she was an alien. But she actually looked a hell of a lot like his high school biology teacher. Everyone had a crush on Miss McClaren. This Carol Danvers (Captain, former US Air Force pilot, Happy did his research) didn’t look alien at all. Which made Happy impressed and suspicious all at once. If she looked positively human, what other people were aliens posing as Earthlings? It was a conspiracy theory rabbit hole he did not have time to venture down into.

He had the Blue Meanie to babysit, though not much, and Tony to check in on. Nebula at least looked like a crazy alien. Somehow that put him more at ease. She was weird, but she seemed to care enough about Tony to be protective of him and then stand back when it was clear he had other people around. Happy was looking out for the angry looking blue girl with no one around because he knew Tony would want him to. She had been there to look out for Tony when he couldn’t.

And Carol had saved his fucking life.

Tony was asleep. He slept long and hard these past few days, his body working tirelessly to repair itself and regain something of an internal clock again. Happy was balancing work and making sure Pepper was okay and being here with Tony.

Eventually the Avengers would regroup and have to figure out what was next.

Right now, he wanted to talk to the very normal looking alien woman.

“Hey,” Happy gave the woman a nod, approaching her as he spotted her in the Avenger’s compound outside of Tony’s room. “I’m Happy Hogan, I just wanted to introduce myself. And, um, say thank you, basically. You know, I used to work security for Tony. And every time he goes out and does something crazy like this... I can’t help but wonder...”

The kid was gone. Happy couldn’t get up with May Parker, though he’d tried. He gave a shrug, letting the obvious phrase go unsaid. Maybe Tony wouldn’t make it back next time...

“You saved my friend’s life. Thank you.”

θ::|| @torntruth | carol danvers has encountered the legend

Time was strange, especially when one had lived as long has she had. Years and their passage meant nothing, a lifetime for the average person was just a blink in her prolonged existence. But one day, time seemed to just stop for her. Everything seemed to stop. But the world went on without her. Five hundred years she was gone, trapped in an ancient and strange tomb hidden inside Mount Parthenion with no way out. And for those five hundred years she slept, waiting for someone or something to free her. Ikaros, her companion, who had not been so fortunate to spend 500 years in a deep slumber, perks his head in the direction of a sudden, very loud, sound coming from the other end of the tomb. Ever curious the bird flies towards the sound, hoping that maybe someone had finally come to free his companion who he couldn't save.

carol danvers & jessica drew.

“Don’t mind the smoke, @torntruth. Nothing severe happened.” Jessica opened the door for Carol, the smell of smoke could be sensed in the hallway, evidently expressing that there was something that just hadn’t gone as planned.

Jessica had been trying to get acquainted with a new skill, to learn to cook. She had a child now, and takeout wasn’t exactly an ideal diet for a toddler. Today, she had wanted to surprise Carol with a homemade meal, rather than their usual takeaway dining experience. Easier said than done. The moment she had looked away, there had been a fire, one she had managed to extinguish before it could cause damage.

“I wanted to try and cook something for us, but it turns out that I am terrible in the kitchen. So I’m already on ordering takeout.” She couldn’t believe this. After everything she had dealt with, it was cooking that was going to defeat her once and for all.

“Ya ever take a breather, Danvers?” she wondered aloud, her comment perhaps a little smug as she looked at the other. They didn’t. If someone would know, it was Rogue; her mind was linked to hers, and Rogue’s knowledge was vast about this specific person. It seemed like Captain Marvel carried the world on her shoulders, and the job of a hero never quit. “C’mon, grab a beer with me. Let's relax for a couple of minutes. It’ll be my treat.” It was the least she could do for her.

[frstwomn]

she understands where carol is coming from. she doesn't live on EARTH but there was still an alleigence to it that would never fade. hence, why she had given the pager to Agent Fury and why she came when it was activated. but all the same...this was not Danvers issue. the Accords were for the Avengers and it had been a LONG TIME since Danvers had been seen on Earth.

the laws of Earth didn't affect her as much as it did the other Avengers. tamsin moves her hands off the desk after a moment, slowly standing to her feet, slipping into her heels underneath the desk.

"of course. any Kree matters will be left to you." Earth could hardly handle the Kree on top of everything else they'd been given. "would you like to take a walk with me? I could use some fresh air."

She had to explain to Carol that Leonidas and Gorgo were her grandparents and while she had never had the chance to meet them in life, she did have a more spiritual meeting with Leonidas and it was a peaceful one. But that movie had been so weird. It made her curious if any historical movie got her era right. She was very hesitant to watch Troy and the Illiad predated her time, but she had grown up on Homer's epics.

But still, she's willing to endure it because she can tell Carol the real story afterwards, and Carol genuinely seems interested in her stories and history. It made her feel like those she knew and loved were not forgotten by history.

"He was, but I don't know that I'm as much a mix of him and Athena as I used to be. I always found myself to be a bit more like Hermes... a smartass. Once I open up more, at least. I was never actually good at parties. So, definitely not Dionysus, though I could lose myself in hedonism back in the day." A coping mechanism, but she was reluctant to expand on that with Carol. She had remembered their discussion about Carol's past with alcohol, and she didn't want to bring the mood down. Instead, Kassandra takes a big bite of the pizza. "If they had this back in my time, I feel the soldiers would want this instead of the black broth they often drank at camp."

carol just thoroughly enjoys how much befriending kassandra has made her stop and truly , TRULY , think about culture. not that she's going to deny she enjoys the movie because it's hot -- but now she gets to think about ( and then ask ) how a real spartan / ancient greek would react to something historical. or that it made her realize how historically accurate it isn't.

... there is still a part of a carol that is deathly afraid that she's only into kassandra because kassandra is wholly interesting. as if that isn't a GOOD THING .

" i heard dionysus is a fun guy. aren't you already this neat mix of that guy and athena anyway? " that was posed less as a question and more of her observation as carol sits down on the blanket , reaching for her own piece of pizza and the ranch. this pizza place does do homemade ranch , too.

Nope, she’s not gonna say it. Not gonna. Well, think it. Instead, a sarcastic little salute is offered. Followed by a slightly more sincere sign of ‘C’ across the forehead. Then, a sign and mouth of: Coffee?
