Who: Carol Danvers
NPCs: Doctors nurses, SHIELD agents Kelso & Blake
When: November 13, 2009 - late evening
Where: SHIELD's secret base in the Catskills → Avenger's Mansion
What: Carol unexpectedly wakes from her coma and pays a visit to the Avengers.
OOC: Okay...I'm not a doctor and what I know about the medical profession is from hospital dramas I see on TV. So, I'm sure this is not accurate at all. At all.
Rating: PG?
Another week had slipped away and still Carol's condition remained critical. Her symptoms remained a mystery and her unexplainable fever left her doctors scratching their heads. Despite the unease the medical personnel felt, life at the SHIELD base went on as usual.
"Kelso, how did you draw this crap assignment?" Agent Blake said by way of greeting as he approached.
Agent Blake, who had been "standing guard" outside of Carol's room, opened his eyes and looked up from where he was sitting. "Agent Kelso, its good to see you again," he said with a sly grin. "I needed to pick another detail. I don't know if you heard, but the wife is expecting. Again."
"Well, shit, man, that deserves a drink." Agent Kelso swept his gaze left and right down the hall before producing a flask from an inner pocket inside his uniform. He unscrewed the cap, lifted it up in salute, took a swig and passed it on.
The other agent accepted the offered flask and tipped it back. Everyone knew this was a fluff position anyways, Danver's condition hadn't changed in weeks and damn did he needed that.
"Pull up a chair, I got a deck of cards - hey, wait, do you hear that?" Blake stood from his chair to investigate. "That beeping."
"Out of the way!" The two SHIELD agents were nearly bowled over by a team of doctors and nurses rushing down the hall and flooded into Major Danver's room.
"Doctor, her vitals are dropping!" One of the nurses shouted as she quickly analyzed the EKG. Carol was going into cardiac arrest.
"Get ready to defibrillate. Set the charge to 200," the doctor said as he accepted the paddles as one of the nurses prepared the site. "Clear!" There was a high pitched squeal just before the shock was administered. Carol momentarily floundered from the jolt of electricity - the most she had moved in weeks.
Her mouth fell slack. "Get away..." Her voice was low and ragged from lack of use. Her throat felt dry and the request was barely audible against the din of the confusion surrounding her. "Get...."
"We're losing her. God damn it. 250! Clear!" He shouted and administered another shock.
Carol inhaled a sharp breath, deep and long. The flood of oxygen filling her lungs caused her body to seize. Her eyes snapped open, clear blue now replaced with an inhuman yellow glow. The rose color that had been a symptom of her fever was now an unmistakeably crimson that rapidly spread across her body. Everyone was too stunned to move, too stunned to comprehend what they were actually seeing.
Carol sat up and stood away from the bed. "Get away," she repeated. Her hand trembled as she clenched her fist and it erupted in flames. The fire didn't stop there, but quickly spread and consumed her form. Doctors, nurses, and SHIELD agents alike were knocked backwards and all of the equipment in the room began to malfunction at the pulse of energy that radiated outward.
She didn't give a backwards glance as she rocketed through floor after floor, creating a column of fire as she ascended. She didn't stop until she reached the open air and looked down at the base, formerly hidden, now torn inside out. Carol tilted her head and looked at it without emotion or understanding.
Not the damage had it sustained, nor the people inside were of consequence, especially when there were more pressing matters at hand.
With a sonic boom, Carol steered herself in the direction of the Avenger's mansion. And what would have taken her the better part of an hour, she made the journey in mere moments. She hovered above the building then slowly made her descent. The mansion, in response, shuddered.
"Avengers!" Her voice boomed and trembled, angelic and terrible all at once. "Hear me. The being you once knew as Carol Danvers is no more. Only Binary remains."
With her message delivered, Binary soared away, high into the upper atmosphere.
