Chapter 7 by ewong

What does he mean?

Au Naturel Avenger

"I'm afraid your status must be maintained by both of you, to be sure there won't be any questions about a duplicate Carol or Captain Marvel. It is why Edun contacted the Rambeaus and the Avengers in the first place." Talos cryptically explained.

"My status? What has changed?" Carol asked.

Talos and Edun looked at her, expecting her to get it after a beat. They saw her eyes widen and her hands raise up.

"Wait...hold on, you can't mean I have to be...."Carol was too flustered to find the word, but gestured to Edun.

"Naked, yes. Them moment she registered Carol Danvers as both alive and a nudist with every high ranking governemnt agency, I'm afraid you must abide by it. That means...you must remove that uniform." Talos explained.

Carol couldn't believe it. She had to get naked because some nudist Skrull registered her?

"Couldn't I just say I'm no longer a nudist and wear clothes again?" Carol asked.

"The Sokovia Accords state that once a registered individual has any part of their profile changed, they must wait a minimum of 3 years before another change can be instated." Talos replied.

"But, it's not me. It was Edun!" Carol protested.

"Yes, but we must keep Skrulls' presence on Earth secret. We wouldn't want to start a war, now would we?" Talos shot back.

Carol's shoulders slumped and she head tilted downward, defeated.

"Ugh, fine. This isn't the way I expected to become Earth's mightiest hero." Carol said as she began to undress.
