Betrayed

Fury, I'd like you to meet someone.

This is Gravik.

Gravik?

You don't trust me.

You're telling me there's a million Skrulls

walking amongst us right now?

Have you lost your reptilian-ass mind?

Skrulls have infiltrated the ranks of major world powers.

Where is the proof?

I nominate Gravik to the post of Skrull General.

They sent you to fire me?

I volunteered.

Set up a meet between me and Gravik.

Talos, he will kill you.

I wanna talk about my daughter.

Everyone ready? Uh-huh.

Do you think it'll work?

I mean, uh...

Bringing chaos?

Why did you join the resistance, Beto?

Um...

I did not want our people to keep running.

You joined the same reason I did.

Not fear of the past, faith in our future.

All faith is built on risk.

So that's what we have to take. Yeah?

Yeah.

Ah!

Members of the Council.

Glad you could make it on short notice.

Now at the council meeting,

I told you I had a plan for taking Earth as our own.

I sent three operatives to infiltrate the Royal Navy.

Time to change.

And execute a strike on a key United Nations target.

The heroes of Earth will react.

The only way we can counter that and claim this planet as our home

is to become super ourselves.

Now, we no longer just change faces.

We change powers.

We're gonna be uniquely programmed weapons of mass destruction.

All of us.

Super Skrulls.

Humans will be at all-out war with each other within the week.

And while they're at each other's throats, we're gonna break their backs.

I invite you to join me in the extinction of the human race.

Coffee?

Yes, please, black.

Looking for someone?

Uh, yes, I am.

What does she look like?

That depends on what day of the week it is.

Wanna sit here while you wait?

Well... That...

That might send the wrong message.

She won't mind.

Varra?

This should put Dreykov's men on their heels.

Looks like you already have.

This new face of yours is...

Beautiful?

I agree.

Who is she?

Well, that depends on where this goes.

No, no, no, no, no.

There's a rule that, you know,

commander of station and operatives cannot be...

Our unit doesn't exist, Fury.

That means I don't work for you.

Well, that's an intriguing possibility.

Does anyone out there seriously trust our leaders?

I sure don't.

Load your guns and make sure you got enough food and water

because that, my friends, looks a hell of a lot like World War III.

How can you watch that poison?

Even a broken clock's right twice a day.

Good morning.

Morning!

Mmm! Mmm!

Those eggs supposed to be soft or hard boiled?

Poached.

I forgot. Things cook differently up in space.

Whoa. Thank you.

Do I dare ask what calamity must have transpired

to bring you home, to me?

It has been years.

If you want me to apologize for being gone, Scilla, just say so.

Darling, you are Nick Fury.

I never harbored any illusions about the necessity of you going away.

But staying away,

that leaves a mark.

I retired.

Any plans for the downtime?

Well, you know, I never cared much for golf, so...

I'm thinking I may take up revenge.

You been in touch with Gravik while I was gone?

- And why are you asking me that? - 'Cause I just need to be sure.

About what?

Who you've become

while I was gone.

I became a widow in your absence.

I wept on your pillow every night. I grieved for you.

And just when I thought I had gotten past the heartbreak,

you came back in the Blip.

And silly me, I thought we were going to undo all the pain together.

Go back to the way we were, but no,

you just up and vanished again.

Only this time it was voluntary.

So if you're interested in who I became in your second absence,

I became me.

The me I was before you.

What other choice was there when you kept disappearing

as if you were never really here in the first place?

Don't ignore it because of me.

I don't have that information at hand right now.

You too, take care.

Something important?

Nope.

What is it? What's happened?

Brogan.

What about him?

Well, someone told the cops where we were headed,

and only we knew that.

It was me, you, Pagon and Beto in the car.

It's hard for Brogan to confess to something he didn't know.

Not so hard.

Oh, yeah?

How'd you figure?

Brogan under torture.

I'd imagine when they asked him where they could find you,

he was forced to make an educated guess.

Is that what you'd do?

I'd lie.

I'm a good liar.

Okay.

It was Brogan.

He was weaker than you thought.

All right.

See you tomorrow. Early.

You're coming with me.

Your father called for a parley.

Apparently we're meeting about you.

Yeah.

Right on schedule.

The UN plane will be at Neptune's coordinates, 2200 hours.

It's remarkable, innit?

Gathering up all these big men for one painting.

Statesmen of World War I. That's what it's called.

I mean, it just sums up the whole thing pretty nice, I'd say.

Which whole thing is that?

You know, the difference between statesmen and soldiers.

You see, 'cause one lot spends the war posing for pictures,

while the other does all the killing

and the dying.

I mean, look at the fat smug smile on his face.

You ask me, Talos,

choice between having my story told in ink and oil paint

or having it written in blood,

I choose blood all day long.

Yours and everyone else's. Huh?

Yeah.

Brave.

You asked for parley, so let's parley, shall we?

Come on.

Thank you, love.

Why don't you just get an empty cup?

I like a little bit of espresso with my sugar.

You want some?

What I want is for you to stand down and stop murdering innocent humans.

You know, I would be doing us both a favor

if I just put you out of your misery right here.

You want an honor meeting? Mate, go ahead, say the word.

An honor meeting?

Well, it wouldn't be proper, would it?

A general challenging his subordinate to knives.

Are you honestly puzzled as to why the Council

would prefer me as general over the likes of you?

G'iah's in the car. Wanna come say hello?

You wanna be very, very careful now.

You should be grateful

that I haven't sent her back to you in a body bag yet.

That's what this is all about, isn't it?

You're gonna take our people to the edge of extinction

with the war with the humans.

All these miscreants know

is murder.

Look how they treat each other.

That's what's gonna happen.

We're gonna murder them all.

You don't understand the first thing about humans.

They're at their most formidable

when they're threatened

by a common foe.

Have you forgotten how we fight?

You think I'll let you

continue this war under the cover of anonymity,

you're very much mistaken.

I'm gonna tell every army on Earth who it is that's attacking them.

You'll lose the element of surprise.

You and your rebels will be put down like the rabid dogs you are.
