@WillOfVonDoom that comment stunned carol; as much as it stoked a fire in her to prove him wrong, for her own sake, she knew doom wouldn’t say that without good reason.

so, she pondered it for a moment longer, before firmly placing her palms on his desk.

“ no. we have to go in, and we

something like that would explain reed’s apprehension to even engage with it all. let sleeping dogs lie, or whatever that saying is… ”

[𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 @ACosmicMarvel]

@WillOfVonDoom “ you don’t think…” she half-scoffed at his suggestion, but quickly found her confident dismissal faltering as her mind asked a million and one questions.

“ there has to be another reason — another explanation. ” she paused, standing straight with a sigh. “ though,

against sharing this information (?) he must have noticed it — it’s right there. ”

[𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 @ACosmicMarvel]

@WillOfVonDoom “ huh. ” upon further inspection, carol too saw what doom did — though, that didn’t exactly answer any questions she had. questions which she began to vocalise.

“ did annihilus really build that (?) it doesn’t look like his work… if he didn’t, who did (?) and why was reed so

taking a moment to squint further at the screen.

“ you’re seeing that too, right? ”

[𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 @ACosmicMarvel]

“ i’ve never seen anything like it… he just… said no. and that was that. ” sighing, she put her hands on her hips.
