Modern AU! Carol decided to adopt a kid so she wasn't alone when she was home. The kid is more like a friend really.

I fell in love with Carol the moment she was on screen. I was originally going to watch Captain Marvel for the fact that Clark Gregg was in it and he hasn't been on a Marvel cinematic screen in years.

Carol raised a brow at the girl in her living room. She had just returned from a mission in space and wanted time home with the girl she adopted.

"Oh, she's sweet but a psycho!" The girl sang loudly as she danced with her headset on. The teenager quickly tapped her wrist and the song changed as it went through the Bluetooth speakers she had set up in the apartment.

"Take this pink ribbon off my eyes." She sang along, quickly following the lyrics to a T. Carol chuckled and knocked on the door. "Okay, pink psycho."

The teen quickly dropped her headset as she sprinted over to Carol, hugging her. "Carol! I missed you!"

Carol hugged the teen back, holding her close. "I missed you too, kiddo." She pulled away after a second but left her arm over her shoulders. "All right, what did Fury get you?"

The teen giggled and lifted her wrist. "The newest Apple Watch. It's on a Shield secured network so if I'm in danger, I can let him know and if it's serious, I hit a button with my pinkie to alert you."

Carol smiled and ruffled her hair. The teen smiled and then started to dance to the music. It wasn't good dancing but, she was in a free and happy environment with her favorite song on.

The dirty-blond smiled wider. "You're getting better." The teenager smiled wider in response, stopping her dancing. "I met Steve the other day, you know, the one from Brooklyn. The one Petey talks about all the time."

Carol knew of Peter Parker, the girls' close friend since the two got to know Stark. It seems just talking and thinking about the teenage boy, summoned him. Peter rushed in through the door. "I saw the fireball and came as fast as I could."

Peter launched himself at Carol, hugging the larger woman. "She hasn't stopped asking Nick when you were gonna come home."

The teenager hit Peter in the side. "Parker, I swear!"

Carol laughed and dropped the male. "Who is hungry?" She asked heading to the stove and heating up the wire with her hand. The teenage girl stared in amazement. Peter laughed and nudged her with his elbow. "We Want stove cooked pizza rolls!"

The woman heard a small whimper and turned to see the younger woman holding onto Peter, her lower legs a pile of dust. "Mom.."

Peter dropped into the pile and shook, his eyes full of tears. "Carol? What just happened?"

His question was too late as the woman was missing, and the roof had been signed and glass had been shattered.
