"While they are loyal to the Empress, they do not deserve such a cruel death!" Anelle exclaimed. They deserved to die honorably or ideally, to not be killed at all. It wasn't their fault that the Empress was on the throne. They were sworn to serve the crown. And without a home planet, how could she ask them to abandon their hope for the promised land, however ill-fated Anelle feared it would be? [color=E8FF00]"By invading, she means invading Earth,"[/color] the Wasp specified. She wouldn't have been surprised if the skrulls were invading countless worlds, setting up a nice little empire for themselves. If she were the leader of an evil race of shapeshifters, it's what she would do. It was practical, really. Why put all your eggs in one basket? Anelle nodded, as they reached the elevator. She didn't press the button to call for it, likely a habit of being royal - pushing buttons and opening doors was beneath her. The Wasp ended up pressing it and the elevator came down quickly. "My people... Our home was destroyed by the World-Eater. The Empress believes that the Skrull Empire will be rebuilt on your world. She claims it's prophecy."[center][hr][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Jersey City Boardwalk - New Jersey: 10:50 P.M[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr] Raynor glanced over at Kwassi in confusion - he had absolutely no one idea who exactly this man was supposed to be. He didn't remember ever seeing him before, but if he had to make a guess, he was likely another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. The guy looked like he had a giant stick up his ass. [color=d86615]"So this is my replacement, then?"[/color] he asked, staring at Kwassi. He didn't look very impressive to him. Raynor was pretty sure that he was the more muscular of the two - and that was all that mattered, right? It also was strange to him to hear that the President was onboard - but after a moment, it made sense to him. Jakobsen had been personally victimized by Raynor's sort-of-cousin and he used to head an organization dedicated to killing anything that wasn't 100% human. Of course he'd be messed up in an alien invasion. His first day on the job he probably was asking to see all the files on Area 51, whispering to himself that the truth was out there. [color=FFB795]"Oh, hey, welcome back!"[/color] Amelia called out cheerfully to Kwassi. She wasn't going to voice it aloud, but she was a little more relaxed seeing another person who looked like her there. It was the same sort of feeling she'd get when she spotted another girl in the academy at Operations after being placed in a squad of just guys for a while - a sort of kinship and security. [color=FFB795]"But yeah, just like the boss lady said, you just say who you are so Thor Jr. can do his polygraph mumbo jumbo, and then Niah can touch ya - well not you, something you're holding and ideally have had for a while, it's not sexual or anything like that so don't worry about it - and she'll get an idea if you are who you say you are. And if they both clear you, then you're not a squid! But I guess we don't really know if they are who they say they are, so it's all about trust... Huh, this is way more intense than the trust fall not Maria tried to do earlier with ya, Sparks."[/color] Raynor shot Sparky a bit of an irritated look, clearly asking how anyone was able to stay around Amelia without drinking excessively. He also wasn't happy with how long this was taking. It was pretty dark and only some of their ships had been cloaked - people were pointing and staring, taking pictures, it was going to be a mess. They might as well have lit up a sign saying HEY SKRULLS, WE'RE IN NEW JERSEY! [color=d86615]"You're telling the truth, Mar-Vell, but I need to hear you say that you aren't a skrull,"[/color] Raynor said, keeping his hands ready to attack. But Mar-Vell nodded. "I'm not a skrull. I'm actually Kree," she explained. [color=d86615]"She's telling the truth,"[/color] Raynor affirmed. [color=d86615]"I get why you want to hurt the skrulls, but why turn your back on your own people?"[/color] he asked her. [color=d86615]"The Kree are emotionless assholes who obey their glorified super robot without question."[/color] "I did it for love," Mar-Vell answered simply, not offering any elaboration. Amelia squealed ever so slightly. Just because she wasn't interested in romance for herself didn't mean she didn't find people being in love absolutely adorable. She really wanted to know more about this special someone of Mar-Vell's. She knew nothing about the Kree, well nothing beyond what Raynor had said. Did they actually take orders from a computer? Was it like the computer wife in Spongebob? Were the Kree living out Iron Man's ultimate fantasy?[center][hr][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Quinjet - New Jersey: 10:50 P.M[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr] [color=f6989d]"He's not a cat,"[/color] Bonnie answered Evelyn somewhat unhelpfully, as she was searching the cargo area for a pair of bolt cutters. She had found a small hammer and a wrench so far, which could work in a pinch but she didn't want to hurt Goose in the process. She was crouched down sorting through a tool box she had found when the President came in, told them to give him a minute, and then returned with the missing pair of bolt cutters. Goose rushed out of the cage and Bonnie couldn't help but smile, scratching him behind the ears as he ran up to her. She knew that it was one of his favorite spots. He didn't stay long though, before rushing up to the other two. Bonnie then stood back up to her full height, seeing that Matt had also come in and joined them. [color=f6989d]"They... They what?!"[/color] Bonnie exclaimed, her eyes going wide. [color=f6989d]"Why did no one tell me this as soon as you arrived?!"[/color] she then added, narrowing her eyes as she went from surprised to [i]angry[/i]. [color=f6989d]"Goose, behave yourself, no eating the President,"[/color] Bonnie said sternly, before dashing out of the cargo area, back into the main area of the quinjet, and then off the ramp. [color=f6989d]"Niah Bautista, report to medical this instant!"[/color] Bonnie snapped, her voice raised as she surveyed the scene. [color=f6989d]"Oh, welcome back, Sparky, Raynor,"[/color] she then added, before resuming Angry-Mom-Mode and pointing a finger at Niah.
