Chapter 2 - Manipulating

Yon-Rogg woke up, quickly realising he was in the medical bay. "Ah, welcome back to the land of the living", Att-Lass joked. "Where's Vers?", Yon asked immediately. "I don't know, I haven't seen her", Att-Lass frowned, "why do you want to know?". "I have to talk to her", Yon mumbled as he stood up, ignoring the pain in his shoulder. Att-Lass tried to stop him, "Wait you aren't allowed to leave-", he couldn't even get his sentence finished because Yon already left.

Yon-Rogg knocked on the door of Vers her sleeping quarters impatiently. "Please, Vers, it's me", he said. Eventually she opened the door, she looked horrible. "Vers...", He immediately hugged her. "Aren't you mad at me?", She whispered. "Why would I ever be mad at you", Yon pulled back. "I shot you and you've been out for several days and I-...", Vers couldn't finish her sentence, because she was already crying again.

After a while of just sitting on her bed, Yon finally managed to calm her. "I will help you control your powers, I promise you", he looked at her. "You knew about them?", She pulled back in disbelief. "The Supreme Intelligence ordered me not to say anything. But when we found you, you were captured by the Skrulls, who had been experimenting on you. That's the reason you have these extraordinary abilities", he explained. "Thank you, for telling the truth to me", she looked down. "Hey", Yon said, carefully lifting her face up with his hand, "I won't ever leave you, you'll always be my friend". This was the first time he admitted it. Vers gave him a small smile, "I know, I'm amazing".

"Are you sure you're up for this mission", Yon-Rogg asked her worried. "Yeah, it's simple. Go to the planet, find the crown prince, kill him and make it look like an accident", Vers shrugged. "And to be clear, the king is old, he will die sooner or later", Yon added, not wanting Vers to kill more than necessary.

He looked at her, and she just smiled, "relax, these two bad boys will save me", she held up her fists with a smirk. "And I'm the most powerful warrior in the StarForce, I can easily do this", she smirked, knowing that he hates it. "Second most powerful warrior", Yon corrected her, his golden eyes glaring at her. "Oh of course, sorry for overestimating myself", she laughed, receiving a playful punch to her shoulder.

"See you in a few days", Vers smiled as she stood up. Yon-Rogg hugged her and whispered, "stay safe". "I'm always safe, don't worry", and with that, she went into the space ship. Yon kept looking at it, untill it was completely out of sight. "Stay safe", he mumbled again, more to himself than her.

Vers arrived at the planet, sooner than expected. It wasn't a very big planet, but the big golden palace made it seem impressive. She tried to find a proper landing spot while checking the ship's cloaking mechanism. Upon finding out the ship was completely invisible she smirked, and landed it smoothly. She put in the coordinates of her landing spot, in case she forgot them or needed rescue.

After wandering around for a while, she reached the main city. "Shit", she mumbled as she saw people, their clothing very odd. She looked at her own StarForce suit and knew she had to find something to cover it. She carefully snuck into one of the houses and sighed in relief when she saw no one was home. She rushed upstairs without a sound and quickly found some robes. She quickly changed into them before heading out, praying no one saw her.

Alright, next goal, find the prince.

That task was more difficult than expected, there was no way someone would just let her walk into the palace, so she either had to break in or wait until he got out. For now she settled on the second one, if after 24 hours he still was nowhere to be found, she would break in.

She wandered around for a while, after finding a marketplace. She studied the behavior of the locals carefully, blending in with them. Soon it was getting evening. She decided to return to her ship, so she could spend the night comfortably.
