Supreme Intelligence Kree
N/A: I ...confess this idea is born ever since I watch the movie of Captain Marvel.
The night is filled with the scent of wet grass indicating yesterday´s rain, however, two women are walking side by side as the southern woman is practically jumping in the puddle of water and giggling happily and the other one, a woman with chestnut hair, freckles and hazelnut eyes listen patiently to her tales.
"And then...we kiss, we kiss and he didn´t faint" Rogue explains her date with Gambit. And Kitty nods, but, then she raises her hand stopping the tale to take a more mature turn. "Rogue, I´m glad you like the gift, you can control your power at least, but, if you go further and starts telling more mature parts of your date...I´ll have to share my tales as well"
Rogue is sweating cold for some inexplicable reason. Kitty and Wanda had their cute little dates, but, somehow, Rogue has the feeling she won´t talk about Wanda here.
"Well, let´s just say it was a good date" Rogue finishes and change the subject "by the way, have you heard about...Carol?"
"I think I have heard about all Carols, but, tell me more about this one" Kitty said as Rogue explain, in less than 5 minutes, her complex story with Captain Marvel.
"Anyway, she called me this morning asking help...the Krees are in New York and she fears they may be up to no good" Rogue explains with doubt in her voice.
"You aren´t sure if you should go or not, well, no one but yourself can make this decision, Rogue, but...if Krees are here..this may not be something good" Kitty explained and Rogue has to agree.
And this lead Rogue to accept Carol´s request, as awkward it may be, and go check out what is happening in New York, the invitation extended to Kitty as well.
"I don´t like Krees, sure, I´ll go" Kitty speaks and alerting about the Avengers "Well, I know a guy there and ...better not take jobs for the Avengers"
Rogue won´t question what this means.
_________________________________
Captain Marvel is not one to feel fear so easily but being in a room with this Nightcrawler does make her feel fear, and, the worst part...The man is not doing anything against Carol, yet, Carol fears him as a small bird would with a cat.
At least, Carol is not the only one. Rogue is feeling fear as well and only Kitty seems to be alright with the situation. The emissary of the Avengers is here to deal with the Kree infection(Carol doubts as the man seems to enjoy the fear everyone is feeling)
"Skrulls, Krees and Shiars are in a war against each other and they want to bring the fight here" Nightcrawler explained and there´s a mood of solemnity that only Kitty Pryde breaks it.
"And...A certain Worm has nothing to do with that?" she asked amused and to everyone surprises, Nightcrawler chuckles. "Either way, they will attack the King of Wakanda" Kitty explained and now Carol can forget her fear and demand questions.
Rogue takes Carol up the sky to explain that Kitty is not a human, is more likely to be a Dijin and Carol, may not believe in that, but, she concedes she sees odd things all the time.
("And if she is the enemy, Rogue?" "Trust me on this one, Carol, if she was our enemy we wouldn´t be here")
"If what you are saying is the t
ruth...why the Supreme Intelligence would commit such error? Wakanda is not here"
"They are here to assassinate the King of Wakanda and blame his death on the Avengers and then they would offer a friendly hand. Wakanda would eliminate the Avengers in one go and the Krees would have allies. Wakanda is really technological advanced for Earth and they know it" Kitty speaks and looks west where the location of the Avengers can be found and smile "Although ...that would backfire poorly on them"
Captain Marvel looks somewhat afraid and silently asks Rogue what is happening and Rogue only shakes her head.
____________________________________
Kitty´s words are proven to be correct. As the fight issues, Kitty and Nightcrawler are on the side looking humans vs Krees with little interest. Thanks to Rogue´s quick thinking, the King of Wakanda is alive, a bit hurt, but overall nothing fatal.
(Rogue could swear Kitty was bragging with this Nightcrawler. Rogue would like to know why, but, Kitty is not human, that´s for sure)
One of the krees is fed up of the teamwork of Captain Marvel and Rogue and decides and calls for Supreme Intelligence to shot at Captain Marvel. And it was a blast shot so powerful that no one could survive and they are right, except...it wasn´t aimed at Carol, but, at Rogue.
Kitty is not pleased with that, Nightcrawler is showing some courtesy to not smile, Kitty and her toys are a sensitive subject. Carol saw the dead Rogue and has no time for mourn when Kitty is lifting Rogue up in a bridal style.
"You!" Carol shot a blast shot at Kitty, well, she wanted to do, but, her powers are...gone.
"Yes, me, Rogue is dead now...and that shouldn´t have happened" Kitty´s eyes are fully azzure and Carol see her face showing cracks "Tsk, guess I´ll have to fight"
Captain Marvel kneel, without knowing, and closes her eyes as tentacles appear in the battlefield(blue tentacles, red tentacles and Carol just closes her eyes)
Nightcrawler arrives and asked Kitty, ignoring the other humans that witness Krees being eaten by tentacles with mouths, what she will do. " I could lean you one of my Avengers if you want"
"Thanks, but no, Rogue´s time is over too soon...I´ll ask a favour from my sister," Kitty said and with her eyes still closed, Carol can feel the fire and once again she feels fear.

Death is not surprised to see Kitty/ Zaorva in her realm nor with a dead X-men, but she won´t revive Rogue for free.
"What I can offer you for her life?"
"Uhm...I would like to have her in my cult, " Death said and Zaorva thinks for a moment until she nods.
Rogue opens her eyes and has many questions. For once, she will get an answer, although, it will be with Death itself.
"Sister, where are you going now?" Death asked once briefing Rogue in the basic stuff (you died, you are back to life and now you work for me...and I like your style) and Rogue is gawking at this.
Sister?!
"End the Supreme Intelligence!"
"Ok, have fun"
______________________________
The Supreme Intelligence is a thing, for lack of a better term, that crafted the Krees to her desire, and this thing primes to be smarter than the others. Of course, Carol´s rebellion did halt her plans, but, now...Supreme has a bigger problem than Carol in her life.
"Aren´t you going to latch your tentacles on me?" Kitty asked as her smile is not humane nor mortal...and Supreme knows what is in front of her.
"Eternity!" Supreme speaks in a low tone shivering in her own mass "I thought you were in another side of Galaxy"
"Unlike you, I can travel to whatever I want" and her face is no longer human now. Supreme notices how her tentacles are now literally becoming dust.
"You killed my human, now, I will end your miserable existence, goodbye, Supreme Intelligence"
Outside, Every Kree is feeling what their leader is going through. They can feel as if Zaorva is literally eating them...It last 2 minutes in total and all wars the Krees ever planned finally stop.
The Kree have an enemy they will never defeat.

Rogue is being brief on what Death´s cult actually is when Kitty arrives. "So...you really wasn´t human" Rogue said trying to break the ice. "That will be a wild story to tell"
"Rogue" Death speaks is a bit unnerving how they are a bit similar "You are forbidden to tell anyone what this, including what my sister is" And Death put her finger on Rogue´s lips to seal the deal.
"Did you explain everything?" Kitty asked and Death ponders for a moment.
"I´m probably missing something, but, she won´t know if she does not try. Yes, she is not a zombie and since I like Rogue I didn´t take her control over her powers...but soon I´ll need her help" the last part was directed to Rogue. "But, she can go back to the X-men...also, Rogue, says Wade I said Hi!" Death now has a happy smiling on her face.
Rogue does not need to know about Wade and Death´s love life.

Nightcrawler is dealing with damage control, well, in his own way. People are making a question about what just happened and suddenly Nightcrawler is so friendly and ...humane.
"I´ll not lie, this nation does not deserve lies" Nightcrawler speaks with sorrow in his voice "Tony Stark was building a new machine and...accidents happened"
Captain Marvel does not dare to say that´s not the case.

Kitty is back to the mansion with a very silent Rogue. Is not the first time she died, but, is the first time she meets Outer Gods.
"Scott" Kitty said to a Scott that wasn´t in the entrance of the mansion, now, he is and is trying to be calm about this. "Your problem with the Avengers is over" and she puts Scott to his original place.
And even after that, only Wanda goes to talk Kitty.
