Reunite at last.
Chapter 2
As she landed she noticed that Earth was strange and she got a bad feeling about it, nevertheless she hoped for the best. She hoped nothing had happened to her loved ones while she was so many light years away from home, Carol couldn’t forgive herself if something had happened, and even Fury that had her pager.
Carol landed in their place, where she used to live a happy life despite her powers and everything she went trough. It lasted so little, that she had only good memories, the best of them. It’s was peaceful, too much peaceful as she walked down to the shore starring at that greenish rough sea suiciding down at bank. Carol let the brackish inside her system and that made her feel at home again as she was transported back to that times.The sea was inside her shiny sad eyes.
“Shit…” Exhaled. “And now who the fuck are you?” Said a voice behind her followed by the sound of a blade sliding her way out through the sheath.
She recognized the pitch of that voice. It was the same pitch she used to whisper in her ear. It comforted her in her darkest nights and it helped her when she wasn’t used to let emotions prevail and was tormented by it. That same pitch she used to love hearing sing, recite poems in different languages, read novels and explain philosophy. It meant the world to the hero.
Carol moved just in time, because the girl behind her didn’t wast time and throw a slash to her neck.
She turned just to see her lover’s face for maybe one last time before getting killed, she wouldn’t lay a finger on that rose even if she tried to kill her.
“Hi Juls.” Captain Carol “The Avenger” Danvers had tears in her eyes falling down to her cheeks while a shy smile appeared on her face exposing her emotions all over again.
It was so uncomfortable for Carol exposing herself this much because of the Kree’s training.
She saw Julia’s expression change as she let her katana fall down on the sand.
Carol got close, slowly. She was afraid to speed up things, maybe she wasn’t ready, maybe she didn’t wait for her, maybe she had another partner… maybe she hated her. She needed to feel her close, to feel her heat, to feel her heart whole again. Hell was unleashed and her head was full of different emotions Carol had encountered so many years ago and banished as soon as she lifted off from earth that rainy November’s day. The Captain hugged her, and couldn’t stop herself from crying and smiling. She could smell again brackish, sunscreen and vanilla. Hiding her face down through her hair she felt safe again.
Julia was just as beautiful as she could remember: her wavy dark ginger hair, her purple freckles like those strange nebulas near the Stardom system, her brown greenish almond eyes always smart looking, her pale soft skin and her in general.
She had a Samurai’s armor on, so shiny and glorious with her wavy hair loose to her shoulders. Her red hair made contrast with her black armor, piking the alien blood covering her face.
The Captain noticed she had a bruised cheekbone and a split bloody eyebrow, she managed to remain beautiful of course, but it let her to suspect that something wasn’t quite right: Julia was in the Order of Samurai and they only fight in extreme cases of emergency. Carol touched Julia’s cheekbone and her face showed worriment, because even if Julia was Carol’s protector, she was supposed to be hers despite the distance and managed to fail even at that. She promised that, and seeing her fighting, and injured made her feel so angry because she loved her so much that led to scarifying her happiness for her safety. She wasn’t safe having her around, for that sentiment -fear- she left and it broke her heart in two. Who knows for how long she had been fighting, she wasn’t safe with Carol around and even when she wasn’t.
Julia placed her hands on Carol’s shoulder as she said a terrible thing that made their reunion tumble down to ashes.
“You shouldn’t be here.”
