The next morning during her training session ('at the gym' - Nora still couldn't believe that actually came out of her mouth) her trainer, Angela, tells her she's distracted, and she gets knocked on her ass more than once. A lot, in fact. Yes, she was distracted, she wasn't about to deny it. She had a a certain blonde captain to thank for that, one who had made her instantly smitten and then almost beheaded her with a photon blast. Talk about a first meeting! Not to mention she had a fair bit of anxiety during that training session over her own powers erupting and destroying the gym and/or hurting anyone there.
Thankfully and luckily though, she'd been fairly lucky with them, her powers, having little-to-no trouble keeping them at bay so far, in the few days she had had them. No recurring incidents like the first, thank goodness. Of course, she had no idea what they, her powers, meant or where they had come from, and now on top of her parents' disappearance and mysterious work with S.H.I.E.L.D., she was trying to figure that out as well.
They, her strange powers, were like glowing fuchsia fluid, swirling around her hands and up her arms. At night she would lie in bed, arms held up above her, staring at the soft glow they gave off. It was beautiful, whatever it was.
Her life had done a full turn in the span of a week. Her parents disappeared while doing secretive work for an intelligence agency, she suddenly had special powers, and now she was working with a woman from space.
Speaking of... The following morning, she was awoken by a banging coming from downstairs - someone was pounding on the front door.
Groggy, Nora stumbled and grumbled out of bed and threw on a robe - judging by the pale light coming in through the curtains, it was early morning.
The pounding carried on and she paused before continuing, now cautiously approaching the door.
Why would someone be pounding on her door in the early morning? Although it didn't sound aggressive, just urgent. And well, she had a weapon on her at all times now if need be.
As soon as she opened the door she was blinded by the early-morning sunlight, so much so that she didn't see who was on her front porch.
"Rise and shine, sunshine!" Her question was soon answered though by an high-energy voice.
Nora's eyes instantly grew wide, one, when she recognized the voice belonging to none other than Carol Danvers herself, and two, when she saw what Carol was dressed in. Certainly not as casual as the other night at the pub.
"What are you wearing?" Nora's eyes scanned the red and blue suit of armour, interlaced with gold designs, including a star on the chest-plate. "Is that your space suit?"
"My super-suit." Carol struck a pose, hands on her hips and head held high. "Now, come on, we've got a full day ahead of us! We've got a lot of work to do."
"What?" Nora was still waking up. "Did Fury send you?"
"Well he asked me to help you with your powers, remember? Come on, you didn't drink too much the other night," Carol joked. "I'm going to train you."
"Train me?"
"Yeah."
"In what?"
"Well, I'm kinda using 'training' as a broad term for helping you with your powers. Code name, if you will."
"But we don't even know what's wrong with me."
Carol raised her eyebrows. "Hey, there's nothing wrong with you. And training will help you to understand whatever it is."
