Xandar, 2014
All hell is breaking loose. Ronan the Accuser is determined to 'cure' Xandar; by wiping out the entire population and the planet itself! The Nova Corps are doing the best they can to help the Guardians defeat him, by sending up an air force to produce a force field to distract Ronan, and also protect the planet down below (and all the people; much to Rocket's disgust).
"What the hell is happening, Nova Prime?"
"Xandar is under siege from an intergalactic force we are yet to understand fully. All we know so far is that Ronan the Accuser is behind this whole mess."
"We must stop him before he causes more harm than he already has!"
"I agree, but I fear that we will need more help than just the Corps and the Guardians."
"Who should we call, Prime?"
"I know someone."

Somewhere in the Nova HQ
"Guardians, what's your position?"
"WE ARE NOT IN A GOOD POSITION! RONAN DIDN'T DIE WHEN I SHOT A ROCKET AT HIM!"
"Okay Peter, calm your tits. We'll figure it out... hopefully."
Introduction time! You may be wondering who I am... My name is Y/N, and I work for the Intergalactic Communications Department for the Nova Corps. My main job is to communicate with the Guardians and any other intergalactic superhero, requesting help from the Nova Corps. I have been working for the Corps for around 2 years now, and have loved every second of it (even though there has been lots of drama). I have superpowers! Well, just one... enhanced senses. It really comes in handy with the job I do! You may also be wondering how I managed to get my job, well... my grandma is Nova Prime! Yes, THE Nova Prime. She thought I could be a real asset to the team! How cool is that?!
"Y/N! We need an assist here! The rocket Quill fired blew up part of the ship and we are going down! I REPEAT WE NEED AN ASSIST, WE ARE GOING DOWN!" Gamora shouts into the comms.
"Shit! I'll see what I can do! Nova Prime, do you copy?"
"Nova Prime here, Y/N. What seems to be the matter? Ronan's ship is coming into orbit and you're only just communicating with me?!" Nova Prime answers with anger.
"I'm sorry Prime, but the Guardians just contacted me saying they need an assist because they are ON THE SHIP WITH RONAN!"
"Holy mother of God..."
"Prime, we need to do something. Now."
"What do you recommend?"
"Send up more ships! Engage the force fields again! Anything to make sure that the ship does not go down and wipe out the entire city!"
I tried to reach the Guardians again through the comms, but they were not answering.
"Shit!" I shout out, worried and frustrated.

CRASH!!!
Oh my god, the ship crash-landed. The Guardians are unconscious. Ronan has the upper-hand. Or does he?
I need to help out somehow. Is there another intergalactic superhero that I can communicate with to help?
I quickly search through Nova's database for anyone who could possibly help with Ronan's attack. The Avengers? They won't get here in time, and I doubt they even know of Xandar. Doctor Strange? Too early. Thanos? Definitely not. Ah! Captain Marvel! Is there a way to reach her?
I look out the window of my office to see the destruction caused by the ship's crash landing. This is surely a big enough threat for Captain Marvel to intervene, right?
"Y/N, can you hear me?"
"Quill? Oh my god are you all alright?"
"We're fine, just a bit battered and bruised. The power stone is safe with us. Ronan is dead."
"How did you defeat him?"
"Dance battle!"
"Right..." I respond with confusion.
"Groot gave his life for us however, to soften our fall. Rocket is devastated bless him."
"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss. He gave his life to keep you all safe." I respond, upset.

Hala
Carol hears a beeping coming from her communicator.
What the hell is this? She thinks, as she never gets notified from Xandar.
*Urgent! Anyone who can help! Ronan and the Kree are on a mission to destroy Xandar!*
What is this? If it is Ronan and the Kree, I better sort it out.

Back on Xandar
Turns out, we don't need Carol's assistance anymore. Why did we contact her in the first place? I knew the Guardians could handle it! Wait... what's that glowing thing entering the atmosphere?
I step outside the Corps to try and identify it. Is it another attack?
Suddenly, the light dims and a woman is standing in front of me. Oh my god, was she hot. Stop thinking that Y/N, you're at work.
"Hello, I'm Carol Danvers, or Captain Marvel. I received a notification from Xandar to help out with Ronan and the Kree. Is there anyone I can talk about this to?"
"Oh hi! I'm Y/N. I sent the message. Turns out we didn't need any assistance, as the Guardians of the Galaxy sorted out the situation."
"Oh, okay. If I'm ever needed, you know how to reach me." Carol replies.
What are you doing Y/N? Ask her to stick around for a while so you can get to know her more!
"Did... did you want to stick around for a while? Get to know the place? I feel like we will need your assistance later on, if the Guardians are unavailable... that is if you want to?"
"Yes, I am not needed elsewhere at the moment. Did you have anything in mind?" Carol asked curiously.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Follow me."

Several Hours Later
"Wow, can you believe we have been talking for 5 hours now?" I ask.
"That's insane! Well, I'd better get going. The universe doesn't save itself!"
"Okay! Thank you for staying and chatting with me about life as a superhero!"
"You're welcome! Bye!"
As Carol walked away, I felt a tiny amount of sadness sweep over me. I can't believe I've grown so attached so quickly!
Carol turns around. Is she going to say something?
"Y/N."
"Yes, Carol?"
"Come with me."
"Really?"
"Yes. Would you like to?"
"YES!"
