	While she waited for the express elevator to arrive at the S.W.O.R.D. base, Carol used her powers to finish up the repairs on the damage on her costume that was caused during her short confrontation with the Scorpion.  She needed to remember that, although she was near-invulnerable, her ‘uniform’ did not have the same luxury.  Carol, in fact, was lucky that the battle with the Scorpion was so short that she was able to get away before anyone else could arrive at the scene of the crime.  Otherwise, the tabloids would have tried to hype the situation up to be the superhuman community’s version of the 2004 Super Bowl half-time controversy.

	Then the elevator dinged and the doors slid open, revealing a room full of over-worked, under-staffed S.W.O.R.D. agents trying to hold down the fort.  Although there was some evidence for the presence of extra-terrestrial beings on Earth, an invasion of ‘Little Green Men’ was not taken seriously and therefore this subsidiary of S.H.I.E.L.D., which itself runs on a tight budget, was short-changed in the funding opportunity.  Unfortunately, the only way to make themselves relevant was to prove an imminent threat by aliens and no one wants the events of [i]Independence Day[/i] to actually happen in the real world.

	In the middle of the room was Abigail Brand, who was the head of S.W.O.R.D.  Anyone would say that her most defining feature was her unnaturally green hair.  Although she believes that this agent of S.W.O.R.D. must be dying her hair, for whatsoever reason, Carol never seen her hair fade or change hues after a recent dying.  While Carol had only been working with S.W.O.R.D. for about a month, she has heard similar stories about Ms. Brand’s perfect green hair from some of the more veteran agents.

	“The unit will be in place in a matter of seconds.”  Agent Lawson reported to Abigail Brand.  S.W.O.R.D. had been following a lead on A.I.M. for the last couple weeks.  While there was no evidence of any technology of extra-terrestrial origin in these crazy scientists’ possession, there were rumors about them reverse-engineering such devices, which they have learned from an as of yet unknown source or informant.  Hopefully this little unmanned mission will shed some light on this mystery.

	On the giant computer monitor in the front of the room, an image of the interior of one of the numerous AIM bases.  In the center of the room was the head scientist of this particular base.  This yellow-suited man was carrying on a conversation with a peculiar woman who had a pair of avian wings.  While strange looking humans, whether mutant or not, have appeared around the globe in recent years, this woman seemed even more suspect.  As the woman continued to talk, the agents of S.W.O.R.D. could hear a strange accent that the woman had.  This accent did not sound like anything that have heard before.  Maybe this was the reason because this woman was not a native speaker of any human language.

	“Well, Ms. Marvel, looks like you’re up.”  Abigail Brand told her newest agent.

	“Yes Ma’am.”  Carol turned to return to the express elevator.  However, before she entered the elevator carriage, Abigail Brand intentionally coughed in order to get her attention.

	“We have a hanger bay that you can use.”

	“And you’re just telling me this now?”  Ms. Marvel gestured at the elevator, which she just had taken to get into their base.
