"You sure this is the place?" I asked Jasmine.
"It's a big compound in the middle of nowhere. If he's hiding out anywhere this would be a good place."
"So do we just walk up to the front door?"
"That would probably be the best approach."
Jasmine left the cover of the trees and just started to calmly walk across the concrete. I hesitantly followed her, scared we would just get shot where we stood. We made our way to what looked like the front door of the giant glass building. A very fancy and expensive-looking sports car was parked in front of it.
"Do we knock or wait?" I asked.
"Right here will be fine." We turned around to see a tall muscular man leaning against one of the pillars. He sported a white dress shirt and dark pants. His blue eyes stared us down. "I like your hat." He gestured to my head.
"Hello Captain," Jasmine greeted.
"Hello, girl who stopped a train with her bare hands."
Damn internet. Of course, he would be immediately alerted about something like that.
"Listen, we don't want any trouble. My name is Elara and this is Jasmine. We came here to get help from Dr. Banner."
"May I ask why?"
"It's kind of a long story. The short of it is that Jasmine and I escaped from an evil alien terrorist group called DRAKO. They brainwashed Jasmine and used her as a destructive weapon. They also put a device in her neck to control her. The ones who had the ability to activate it are gone, but the remaining DRAKO agents might be trying to figure it out. It's extremely sensitive and can kill her if done wrong. We were hoping Dr. Banner could help."
"That...does seem like a problem. To be honest, if I hadn't seen the video I probably wouldn't have believed you right away."
"Will you let us speak with him please?"
"He's not here at the moment, but you two can follow me inside and wait. There's another man inside who may be able to help you."
"That was surprisingly easy," I whispered to Jasmine.
"Should I not let you in?" He spoke up. I forgot the super soldier serum heightened his senses.
"No sir...sorry. It's just that nothing works out for us this easily." Jasmine defended.
"Well, we tend to run into the same problems then."
We cautiously followed Steve Rogers inside. He brought us into the main area where two men were standing. I recognized Iron Man and War Machine right away. They were busy discussing something when Rhodey alerted Tony of our presence. Both understandably looked at us with confusion.
"I didn't expect you to come back home with two girls in tow." Tony snarked.
"Who are they?" Rhodey asked. "They look suspiciously like the women in the video we just watched."
"Said their names are Elara and Jasmine. They're from space." Steve answered.
"A Kree." We all turned to meet the source of the voice. I was face to face with a blue cyborg with pitch-black eyes. She studied me with an emotionless stare. Next to her was a man dressed in casual clothes. I recognized him as Ant-Man.
"How'd you know I was a Kree?" I asked the mysterious woman.
"I'm obviously not from here. I know the slight differences between pink Kree and humans. The colored contacts also don't help. However, I'm not sure what you are." She walked towards Jasmine. "But you aren't human."
