Immortal (Bucky B., Steve R., Logan H.) Book 1

15.

Nobodies POV

Carol finds Freya alone, staring at a photo of Carol and her siblings.

"M-Freya." Carol says

Freya looks up, her eyes red. "I still can't believe your alive. When I first was told of your....death. I couldn't believe it. I mean after Steve and Bucky, I told myself I wouldn't leave myself vulnerable and then I had you and your siblings. I never thought I would have to lose you guys, I mean your half Asgardian, so I was happy and I wasn't worried." Freya says

Tears were building up in her eyes.

Carol grabs her mothers hand. "I'm so sorry mom." Carol says

Freya's eyes soften. "It's not your fault, and it never will be. Your here and your healthy, and eventually you'll remember everything." Freya says

"Mom, I do remember everything." Carol says

Freya's lips spread in a smile and she takes her daughter and she brings her into a tight hug.

....

Inside of the house, with Carol and Maria sitting opposite each other at a table.

"Well, I could use a co-pilot." Carol says "No. No, I... I can't. I can't leave Monica." Maria says

"Why? It's okay. I can stay with grandma and pop-pop." Monica says, talking about Maria's parents. "There's no way I'm going baby. It's too dangerous." Maria says

"Testing brand new aerospace tech is dangerous. Didn't you used to do that?" Monica ask

Carol looks at Maria, smiling smuggly.

"Your plan is to leave the atmosphere in a craft not designed for the journey, and you anticipate hostile encounters with a technologically superior foreign enemy. Correct?" Maria ask

Carol smiles and shrugs her shoulders. "That's what I'm saying. You have to go." Monica says

"Monica..." Maria says

"You have the chance to fly the coolest mission in the history of missions. And you're gonna give it up to sit on the couch and watch Fresh Prince with me? I just think that you should consider the kind of example you're setting for your daughter." Monica says

Maria looks towards Carol for help, but Carol is laughing at Maria's position. Carol then gives Monica a thumbs up.

....

The outside of the house, with Maria walking towards a car, with her parents inside.

Monica sits on the front step watching the encounter. Carol then walks outside with her Kree suit on and sits beside Monica.

"Your Mom's lucky. When they were handing out kids, they gave her the toughest one. Lieutenant Trouble." Carol says

"You remember." Monica ask "Is that mine?" Carol ask

Carol looks at the jacket sitting in Monica's lap. However, Carol protests when Monica attempts to hand it over.

"No, no. You hang onto it until I come back. But there is something that I need your help with. I can't wear these Kree colors anymore, and since you're obviously the only person around here with any sense of style..." Carol says

Carol stands up and presses a few buttons on her suit.

Carol holds her arm out to Monica, allowing her to change the colors. She replaces the green with bright red and the yellow replacing the grey stripes.

"No." Monica says

Monica presses the buttons again. This time, the suit changes to orange, blue and yellow.

"Uh-uh." Monica says

Monica presses the buttons again. This time, the suit changes to black with neon lights lining the stripes.

"Definitely not." Monica says

Both Carol and Monica laugh.

Monica changes the color again, this time to a white suit with green stripes.

"Well, since we're on the same team..." Carol says

Carol gestures to Monica's red, yellow and blue shirt. Monica then changes the colors to match her shirt.

Carol's suit changes to a blue suit with yellow stripes and red gloves, boots, belt and shoulders.

"How do I look?" Carol ask "Fresh." Monica says

....

Fury and Freya were in the kitchen. Fury was drinking a glass of water while Freya finished making a sandwich for Monica.

"I have to say Director, it's an honor meeting you. I've heard so many stories." Fury says

Freya turns and she looks at Fury, she gives him a smirk. "Oh please call me Freya. You brought me my daughter." Freya says

"Well I didn't really do anything, it's all Carol, I mean she's absolutely awesome, especially those powers." Fury says

Freya nods. "Well she didn't get those from me or Logan, Carol was born without any gifts expect for longevity and her strength." Freya says

"Wait really." Fury ask

"Yeah, me and Logan didn't understand why not, but the core was powered by the tesseract and when it hit her, she gained those powers." Freya says

"But without the Powers how did she survive the blast." Fury ask

Freya realizes he's right.

"Her father is a mutant, maybe that was blocking her Asgardian Abilities, so maybe the blast just charged her up." Freya says

"Okay now that's just cool." Fury says

Freya chuckles.

Fury leans against the table, staring at Freya. "So your married I'm guessing." Fury ask

"Oh no, me and Logan haven't been together for years, he's my best friend." Freya says

"I don't think he sees it that way, I mean the way he looks at you, it's intense." Fury says

Freya sighs. "I tried being with him but all could think about was how cruel I was. I know that doesn't make sense but Logan deserved better then me. I couldn't even tell him I loved him." Freya says

"And why couldn't you." Fury ask, crossing his arms

"I never said those words to anyone but my kids. I just don't know how to and I already lost someone I cared about." Freya says

"It's always going to be hard but eventually you'll be ready." Fury says

"I hope so, but for now, I'm focusing on my daughter and we're going to stop the bad guys." Freya says

Fury chuckles.
