It was Friday, after work, late, and Carol was what she was doing after every day of work to unwind, sitting around and having a drink. She had a pretty decent balcony with a nice view over looking the city. Thank you, Tony Stark. But something was trouble her this evening, above and beyond her typical woes.
Carol's conversation with Maria Hill had made her antsy. She wasn't sure she was so ready to get back into the game when she had just made the decision to get back to having a life again. To become a contributing member of society once more was enough work to have to be called up for military duty on top of it. But that was just it, wasn't it? It was Carol's duty. She couldn't honestly say she wasn't just making excuses for herself. Maybe this was the kick in the pants she needed to re-purpose her life. But was she to them - Ms. Marvel, agent or otherwise? The thought gnawed at her.
After fixing another drink, she returned to the balcony and stood by the edge looking down at the city trying to determine something. She swirled her drink in thought and took a sip. Then with a spark of motivation, she set her plan into motion. Carol set the drink down and began to rearrange the patio furniture, tipping things over and stacking them on top of each other, so that by the time she was finished she had constructed a small ramp off the railing.
She observed her handiwork for a moment while she finished her drink, downing the rest of it in one pull and setting the glass aside. Gearing up, Carol ran up the ramp and dove off of the balcony at full tilt. She fell for three or four stories before she pulled up on the breaks and in do so she erupted into a crackling ball of red energy, a lightning bolt emblazoned on her chest. After that, she arced upward with the full force of her powers and tore off into the the night sky followed by a flaming contrail.
At least it was good to know there was nothing wrong with her powers...
