 * Vers visits Yon-Rogg, her mentor and the leader of Starforce. They go to train, having a fight as he reminds her to let go of her past and keep her emotions in check if she wants to be a warrior.
 * Yon-Rogg takes Vers to see the Supreme Intelligence, telling her that it takes the form of whomever you admire the most, but refusing to say who it is he sees. He tells her that the Supreme Intelligence was the one who gave him the responsibility of showing her how to use the powers they supposedly gifted to her.


 * The Supreme Intelligence appears to Vers in the form of the woman from her dream, whom she does not remember from her forgotten past. It tells her that she is a victim of the Skrulls' expansion and that they saved her from them, but that her loss of memory might be a mercy, freeing her to do what a Kree must.
 * Starforce assembles for a mission. Korath tells Vers, Att-Lass, Korath, Bron-Char, and Minn-Erva about the time a Skrull simmed him and how scary it was, with Vers joking that it is because seeing his own unattractive face was too disturbing. Yon-Rogg briefs the team on their mission, search and rescue for their spy, Soh-Larr from a Skrull invasion on Torfa, led by the Skrull general Talos. He explains that the Accusers will bomb a Skrull stronghold and they will slip in, and should not interfere with the Torfa populace.
 * Ambush in Torfa:
 * Starforce arrives on Torfa. They split up and head towards the temple from which Soh-Larr's beacon is emanating.
 * Starforce come across Torfan locals and try to prevent a fight. Minn-Erva prepares to shoot just in case, when Att-Lass tells her to put down her blaster. Minn-Erva then sees through her blaster scope, however, that Att-Lass is with the others on the ground, realizing that the man next to her is actually a Skrull simming him. She shoots him, with him reverting to his natural form as he dies.
 * Yon-Rogg leads a fight against the Torfans when they come to realize they are all disguised Skrulls.
 * Meanwhile, Vers finds Soh-Larr. However, he knocks out Vers, revealing himself to be Talos, and takes her back to his ship.
 * The Skrulls inspect Vers' memories, looking for traces of Mar-Vell. They trawl through memories in her subconscious that she does not otherwise remember and discover that she knew Mar-Vell under the guise of "Dr. Wendy Lawson", on Planet C-53.


 * Escape from the Skrulls' Ship:
 * Vers awakens and breaks free of the constraints on her arms. With metal cylinders still stuck on her arms, she wallops the Skrull scientists and attacks Talos, asking what he has put in her head, but he tells her it was all already there.
 * Vers runs to escape and is cornered by Skrulls. She manages to fight her way out, however, and runs for an escape pod. Vers is ambushed by more Skrulls and tries to break off the metal cylinders, eventually cracking them with her powers, but accidentally causes a hull breach.
 * Running through the corridors, Vers comes back across the control room. She retrieves her boots, then commandeers an escape pod. Talos arrives and blasts it, but she gets away in the pod, albeit without proper control.
 * The damage causes the escape pod to be destroyed as it falls through the atmosphere of Planet C-53, which the Skrulls had traveled to in hopes of finding out about Mar-Vell's work. Vers is left in free-fall over C-53, better known as Earth.

 * Talos and three other Skrulls emerge from a Los Angeles beach after landing on Planet C-53 themselves, and sim nearby surfers as disguises.


 * Having used RadioShack equipment to modify a payphone, Vers manages to communicate with Yon-Rogg and Starforce.

Staforce head to a jump-point 22 hours away to get to C-53 themselves.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives, led by Agent Keller, to inspect the events of the night before, called in by the security guard. Agent Phil Coulson talks to the guard, while Agent Nick Fury approaches Vers to ask about the crash. Vers says she is from Starforce and after the Skrulls infiltrating his planet, to which he responds incredulously. Before he can try to arrest her, a Skrull nearby, still disguised as a surfer, shoots a blaster in their direction.
 * Chase of the Skrulls:
 * Vers then pursues the Skrull through Los Angeles, while Fury and "Coulson" get in a car to follow. The Skrull boards a train, simming an old lady it sees alighting the vehicle. Vers follows into the train and searches, coming across the Watcher Informant as she does, while Fury and "Coulson" follow in their car.
 * Having seen the real old lady leave the train, when Vers sees the same lady on the train, she realizes it is the Skrull. She attacks and the woman fights back, confirming her suspicions. It drops the crystal containing copies of her subconscious memories, which she picks up. The Skrull then sims another passenger and escapes through the roof.
 * As Fury drives, he receives a call on his walkie-talkie from Phil Coulson, saying he is still at the Blockbuster Video and that everyone has left. Realizing Vers was telling the truth and that he is with a shape-shifter, Fury attacks just as the Skrull "Coulson" goes to attack him, veering the car off course.
 * The train pulls into the station and Vers looks for the Skrull in the crowd, but she is unsuccessful.
 * The Skrull "Coulson" is killed and reverts to its normal form, scaring Fury as he gets out of the car. Fury then quickly covers the Skrull's body and marks the scene of the accident under S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation.


 * Vers places the memory crystal into her Starforce Uniform gauntlet and plays some of the memories. They glitch and eventually stop working, but she manages to get a lead from seeing the word "Pegasus" in one, and "Pancho's" in the background of another.
 * Heading to an Internet cafe, Vers tries to look up Pancho's online, but the Internet connection breaks.
 * While looking for Pancho's on a map instead, a motorcyclist is rude to Vers, asking her to smile for his own pleasure. When he heads into the shop, she steals his motorcycle, then takes clothes from a mannequin.
 * Fury and "Keller" attend the examining of the dead Skrull's body. Fury tells him he has a lead on a motorcyclist fitting Vers' description and heads out to find her. Once he has left, "Keller", in fact Talos in disguise, wishes his deceased friend a safe journey to the beyond.
 * Vers drives to Pancho's Bar and asks about "Pegasus", but the bartender does not know what she means. Nick Fury steps out, revealing his presence, and they agree to prove to each other that they are not Skrulls.


 * Vers asks Fury questions about his past, since Skrulls can only sim recent memories. He answers without hesitation, proving himself. She then proves herself by firing a photon blast from her hand, and he agrees to take her to "Pegasus".
 * During the car journey, Vers insists to Fury that the Kree are noble warrior heroes and that the Skrulls are evil, invading planets. On arriving at the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility, he announces his identity at the entrance to be allowed inside. When Vers is surprised by him having three parts to his name, he tells her that everyone simply calls him "Fury".
 * Fury and Vers ask for information on Dr. Wendy Lawson and are taken to a room to wait.
 * Inside the room, Fury gets out his pager. He claims he is only communicating with his mother, but is in fact contacting Keller for backup to detain Vers for information. He helps Vers break out of the room, using sticky tape to get fingerprints off an ID badge, activate the fingerprint scanner, and open the door.


 * The duo arrive at a lower level where records are held, and encounter what appears to be a cat. Fury is instantly enamored with her, checking her name tag and finding out she is called "Goose". Vers blasts open the door to secure records, leaving Fury bemused that she left him to do the hard work with sticky tape when she could have helped all along.
 * Looking through the records, they find that Dr. Wendy Lawson was indeed involved in making a light-speed engine, and Vers recognizes her writings as Kree glyphs. Fury discovers that she died in a test flight 6 years ago, in 1989, but the pilot is redacted. He mentions that there is a testament from the last person to see them alive, Maria Rambeau. Fury leaves, saying he will be back soon, and Vers looks through photos, finding one with herself in the background, climbing into a fighter jet.
 * Vers contacts Yon-Rogg again and asks what he knows about Lawson. He says he is only cleared to tell her some things, but explains that Lawson was an undercover Kree called Mar-Vell developing tech to help win the war.
 * Ambush at Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility:
 * Agent "Keller" turns up at the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility, but when he commends Fury's work, he calls him Nicholas, arousing Fury's suspicions.
 * Vers continues that she remembers Lawson from Planet C-53, but Yon-Rogg cuts her off, saying she is letting her emotions cloud her judgement and that she must not let what might be Skrull interference in her brain get in her way.
 * Fury alludes to a fake mission with Keller in Havana to see how the agent responds, and when he claims to recall it, Fury's suspicions are confirmed that Keller is in fact a Skrull.
 * Yon-Rogg tells Vers to leave her beacon on so he can find her, and she ends the call.
 * Talos, disguised as Keller, is surprised to find no one on the floor Fury sent him to, with Fury having gone back to his previous floor to warn Vers. He is concerned, however, when he cannot find her.
 * As she leaves the archives, Vers overhears Phil Coulson and another agent, who are surprised to have heard they are supposed to take in Fury. She realizes Fury has been betrayed and might need her help.
 * Realizing Fury must have worked out who he was, Talos attacks the agent, and admits to being a Skrull. When he beats Fury down, Vers arrives and hits him with a photon blast. She and Fury then blast up to the next floor and run away.
 * On their way up the stairs, the duo are confronted by Coulson. However, putting his trust in Fury, Coulson lowers his gun and reports that the pair are not down where he is.
 * Fury and Vers get to the main hangar, and Vers has him hand over his pager after lying to her about how he used it. They commandeer a Quadjet and Vers finds she has sufficient piloting skills to fly it. The duo take off and get away, realizing that Goose has stowed away on board.
 * As they fly, Vers shows Fury the photograph of her she found, as well as telling him that her memories go back 6 years, so there is definitely a connection. They decide to find Rambeau to ask her about what happened.


 * Ronan the Accuser tells Yon-Rogg that he wishes to bomb the Skrulls, but the Starforce leader refuses, to Korath's confusion, saying they will sort the situation.
 * Vers turns up at the Rambeau Residence in Louisiana and asks after Maria Rambeau. She is greeted by Maria and her daughter, Monica, who hugs Vers and calls her "Auntie Carol", delighted to hear that she has been alive all this time.
 * Monica Rambeau goes to get Auntie Carol's things, which she and her mother have kept, and Fury goes to help. Maria is left to talk to Vers and they reconnect, with Maria reminding her of some of the events of the morning of the crash. She also rediscovers some of the connection with her best friend, as they start to spark off each other again. Maria tells her that she found it very hard not even be able to acknowledge the mission in which her best friend supposedly died, and that it hurts that she cannot remember who she is or even her name.


 * Monica Rambeau shows Vers photos they have of her across her life, telling her that she did not get along with her family and they had become her surrogate family instead and showing memories from over the years that they have spent as a trio. Maria hands her the only thing found at the crash: half of her dogtag, saying "Carol Dan-", with the other half, taken with her, having said "-vers" and being the origin of her supposed name.
 * The Rambeaus' neighbour, Tom, comes to the door, and Vers - now knowing her name to be Carol Danvers - answers, suspicious that he is Talos in disguise. Maria Rambeau closes the door, but when they turn around they find that while Tom was not a Skrull, Talos is in fact inside, waiting for them. Talos reveals that his associate, Norex, is simming Maria outside to trick Monica. He says he needs them to listen, explaining that when he imprisoned Danvers he had not yet come to realize what makes her different from the other Kree, but now, having obtained the black box from the 1989 crash using his shape-shifting for clearance, he has new information that she will also be interested to hear.


 * The group put Talos' black box disc into the Rambeaus' computer and play the audio from the 1989 test flight. It triggers the rest of Danvers' memories of the day. She recalls how she had flown with Dr. Lawson in the back and they were shot down by an attacking ship, how Lawson had revealed herself as an undercover alien and been shot by the pilot of the attacking ship: Yon-Rogg, and had to destroy the light-speed engine to stop him from getting it, unintentionally absorbing its power.
 * Talos tells Danvers that the Kree have been oppressing the Skrulls all this time, ever since they resisted Kree rule and the Kree destroyed their home planet. He says that Mar-Vell's light-speed engine would have got them to a new home and safety, and asks for Danvers' help in finding the core that powered the engine. Confused about her identity and what to believe, Danvers is unsettled until Maria Rambeau reminds her how much she cared about her, and how great and strong of a person "Carol Danvers" always was. Relieved, Danvers embraces her old best friend.


 * Danvers tells Talos that the reason he could not decipher the location of Mar-Vell's laboratory was that it was not given by coordinates but state vectors, since it is in orbit, not on Earth. They decide to calculate its position based on where they know it was in 1989 and the vectors.
 * Maria Rambeau is reluctant to leave Monica behind, but Monica convinces her that she will be fine staying home with her grandparents, saying that what her mother is doing is important and she really wants her to go. Maria eventually gives in.
 * Maria Rambeau's parents arrive to look after Monica. Danvers goes to speak to Monica, revealing that she remembers her past with the girl and calling her "Lieutenant Trouble", as she always used to. She shows Monica the color-changing controls on her Starforce uniform, intended for camouflage, and has her modify the suit so she can leave behind the Kree colors. They eventually agree on a red, blue, and gold design to match Monica's United States Air Force T-shirt.

13th

 * Yon-Rogg arrives in Louisiana and finds what appears to be Vers. He engages her in a Skrull test and while she responds correctly initially, she is unable to reply when he asks her whose blood is in her veins. Realizing it is a Skrull, Yon-Rogg shoots "her" and the Skrull, Norex, reverts to his normal form as he dies. Yon-Rogg reveals that the answer was his - his blood is what Danvers was transfused with, and comes to realize that Danvers has discovered the truth of her past. He contacts Ronan the Accuser, telling him to attack C-53.
 * Carol Danvers, Maria Rambeau, Nick Fury, Talos, and Goose fly upwards in the Quadjet, modified by Norex for space capabilities. They break through the atmosphere into space to the apparent location of Mar-Vell's laboratory, but can see nothing. However, Danvers guesses that the lab is using cloaking technology and deactivates it from her suit, revealing it before them.


 * The group board the laboratory and find the core of the light-speed engine: the Tesseract, which Lawson had acquired while working for Howard Stark's Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S.. Danvers takes the cube and Talos calls out a Skrull cry. A group of scared Skrulls come out from hiding places, including Talos' wife, Soren, and daughter. Danvers realizes that Mar-Vell had been taking care of Skrull refugees, including Talos' family, while waiting to take them to their new home, and they had been left aboard after her death, now understanding Talos' motivation to find the lab. Soren tells Talos that Mar-Vell had instructed them not to send out a signal as the Kree could find them, and he tells her she did the right thing, embracing his wife and daughter after 6 years apart. He tells Danvers that there are thousands of other Skrulls separated from each other, scattered throughout the galaxy.
 * Yon-Rogg enters with the rest of Starforce and expresses his disgust at her altered uniform. She confronts him for lying to her and starts to activate her powers, but he turns on the Photon Inhibitor implanted in her neck and knocks her out, taking her friends captive and the Happy Days lunchbox containing the Tesseract.


 * Starforce plug Danvers in to talk to the Supreme Intelligence again. Danvers threatens to blast her, but the Supreme Intelligence also activates her inhibitor, mocking her for never having had the ability to control her powers herself.
 * Att-Lass scans Goose and, hearing she is a Flerken, puts a muzzle over her mouth, confusing Fury as to why it would be necessary. Minn-Erva says to load Goose onto the Helion and eject the others into space.
 * The Supreme Intelligence tells Danvers that she is nothing without what the Kree have done for her, showing her memories of times she has failed in her life and belittling her as only human. Danvers takes this, however, and insists that being human is enough, instead remembering all those times as moments where she has got back up and persevered, a human trait she is proud of. The Supreme Intelligence says she was reborn on Hala as "Vers", but Danvers replies defiantly that her name is "Carol", resisting the Supreme Intelligence.


 * Danvers' powers start to activate in the real world despite her status, and it causes electrical surges on the Helion that deactivate Fury and Rambeau's handcuffs and start to break the electrical gate to the Skrulls' cell.
 * Knowing that the Kree have been inhibiting her rather than helping her, Danvers manages to break off the Photon Inhibitor and set herself free, achieving full "Binary" form as she attains the ability to manipulate cosmic energy throughout her body and glows.
 * Danvers escapes the Supreme Intelligence bindings, takes back the Tesseract lunchbox, and escapes to find Fury and Rambeau. She tries to hand Fury the Tesseract, wanting to hold onto the lunchbox as a decoy while they get it to safety, but before they can agree, Goose opens her mouth and giant tentacles come out, consuming the Tesseract easily into one of her internal pocket dimensions. Fury is shocked, having not believed Goose was not just a cat, and cautiously picks her up as Danvers leaves.


 * Yon-Rogg and Starforce confront Carol Danvers, prepared to fight for the Tesseract, which they assume is still in the lunchbox. They run at her on a bridge, but she punches it in the center and it collapses, causing them to fall.
 * Fury and Rambeau find themselves stopped by Kree soldiers, but Goose opens her mouth, unleashing the tentacles again and consuming them all.
 * Battle at Mar-Vell's Laboratory:
 * Bron-Char attacks Danvers first, but she easily blasts him away, then blasting another two soldiers, finding herself slightly unstable as she gets used to her new abilities. Korath assaults Danvers but she manages to break his weapon and kick him away. Minn-Erva follows and picks up a gun, but when she shoots, she finds that she has simply picked up a toy weapon. Bron-Char returns and hits Danvers from behind with an arcade game. She blasts through it to hit him, but Att-Lass pins her down and she drops the lunchbox.
 * As Nick Fury and Maria Rambeau run, they are stopped by Kree guards escorting the Skrull prisoners.
 * Danvers fires a photon blast forward to drive her backwards, slipping from Att-Lass' grip. She lets off two beams of energy to take out the remaining attackers, still amazed by her power.
 * Fury, Rambeau, and Goose are taken with the escort to be ejected into space, but one of the guards surreptitiously reveals to Fury that he is Talos in disguise.
 * Yon-Rogg uses his Magnitron Gauntlets to manipulate nearby metal and knock Danvers down.
 * Talos shoots the other Kree guards and ushers everyone onto the Quadjet in the hangar.
 * Yon-Rogg pins Danvers to the wall, but she manages to break out. The lunchbox drops open, however, revealing the diversion. Yon-Rogg runs to stop the others as the rest of Starforce resuming fighting.
 * The Starforce leader shoots into the Quadjet as the doors close, hitting Talos in the shoulder.
 * Danvers defeats her former teammates and runs to catch up with Yon-Rogg.
 * Maria Rambeau pilots the Quadjet away from Kree fire, using its guns to explode the Starforce ship as they get away to safety. Yon-Rogg asks Minn-Erva to follow them in a drop-ship.
 * Fury takes Talos' hand as he struggles. Rambeau reports a bogey following them, as Minn-Erva gives chase in a drop-ship.
 * Yon-Rogg boards a drop-shop himself, but Danvers jumps onto the back of it as he exits Mar-Vell's laboratory.


 * Minn-Erva shoots at the Quadjet and Rambeau has to maneuver to dodge the blasts.
 * Yon-Rogg manages to knock Danvers off his drop-ship and she starts to free-fall, only to find that with her fully unlocked powers, she can fly.
 * Rambeau flies the Quadjet through a canyon, taking advantage of the canyon's terrain and her superior piloting skills to lose Minn-Erva in the narrows of the canyon, then surprise the Kree warrior and shoot her out of the sky.
 * The Quadjet leaves the canyon only to then be shot at by Yon-Rogg, but Danvers flies up to him and punches the ship with a fistful of energy, causing it to crash-land.
 * Danvers turns to see the Accusers arriving with a fleet of warships through the Universal Neural Teleportation Network. Ronan commands to deploy the ballistic warheads.


 * As Kree missiles head to Earth, Danvers flies up to the first one and catches it in her hands. She manages to push hard and, flying hard in the opposite direction, slow it to a halt, then pushing it back at the other incoming missiles. It starts a chain of explosions, detonating the missiles safely in mid-air.
 * The Accusers deploy attack ships but Danvers easily blasts them aside and breaks through them, unfazed by anything in her way. She goes on to fly directly through an Accuser warship, exploding it, and flies before Ronan to send a message. She punches her fist into a hand, letting off a boom of energy and serving to intimidate the Accusers. Ronan decides to return to the jump point, saying they will be back for the weapon: not the Tesseract, but Danvers.
 * Danvers returns to Earth to confront Yon-Rogg. He prepares to fight, but then puts his weapon away, using belittling language to try to coax her into giving him a chance by saying that she has to "prove" herself by fighting without her powers. Danvers merely blasts him, then walking over and tells her old mentor that she simply has nothing to prove to him.


 * Danvers drags Yon-Rogg back into his drop-ship and programmes it to fly to Hala, telling him to pass on the message to the Supreme Intelligence that she is coming to end the war, the lies, and everything else. She blasts the exhaust to get it running and it flies away.
 * As they fly in the Quadjet, Nick Fury holds Goose in front of him and talks to her, having grown to trust her too hastily. She lashes out, severely scratching his left eye and leaving it blind.
 * Carol Danvers, Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, Talos, and Soren sit for dinner together at the Rambeau Residence, while Monica talks to Talos' daughter. Danvers promises to help the Skrulls find a new home, to take on Mar-Vell's role and finish her work. Monica excitedly says she would love to fly to space to see Danvers, though Fury points out she would have to learn to glow the way Danvers does. Monica adds that she could perhaps build a spaceship instead.


 * Danvers and Fury wash dishes after dinner, and Fury accidentally calls Mar-Vell "Marvel". When Danvers corrects him, he maintains that Marvel sounds better. Danvers gives Fury back his pager, which she has modified to have a range across galaxies so he can contact her, but stressing that it should only be in a case of extreme emergency.
 * Monica Rambeau gives Danvers back her aviator jacket and Danvers says a sad goodbye to her friends. She then flies to space, finding she can safely breathe in the vacuum when using her powers, and flies alongside the Skrulls in search of their new home.

 * Coulson reports that they have not yet found the Tesseract, but Fury says he is sure it will turn up, looking over at Goose, sitting in his office, still with the Tesseract inside her. Fury tells Coulson they need to find more superpowered beings that could protect Earth in case other extraterrestrial threats appear. Initially calling his idea the "Protector Initiative", when he looks at a picture of Danvers in her piloting days on his desk, he is inspired to name the initiative after her - specifically her Air Force callsign, "Avenger".

Trivia

 * In the film Spider-Man: Homecoming there is a scene where Spider-Man tries to apprehend Vulture's men in the Staten Island Ferry, the director Jon Watts pointed out at a mistake that occurred creating that action sequence: "“The only real flaw is that there are cars on the ferry, and there haven’t been cars allowed since the ’90s. So I’ll declare that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they never had these rules.” This proves that the reality from the Marvel Cinematic Universe sometimes differs from the real world reality.
