In Their Own Story
The atmosphere above New York City hummed with the tension of an incoming threat. Carol Danvers hovered silently, her silhouette cutting a stark line against the bruised purple clouds. Below, sirens wailed, but up here, there was only the wind and the faint crackle of energy gathering around her fists. She didn't need to look down to know the danger; she could feel the distortion in the air, a ripple that promised violence. With a deep breath that tasted of ozone and freedom, she pushed off into the stratosphere, leaving a trail of golden light as she raced toward the horizon, ready to meet whatever came next.
