Carol Danvers fists started to glow as her lecturing of “Captain America” or Steve Rogers grew louder and louder.
“Don't even fucking try to talk to me about the ‘Greater Good’! Do you even know what you did?” Captain Marvel said as she tried to keep her anger in check and not murder the man in front of her.
“I did what I had to do” his words were full of self assurance, as if he always thought what he did was right.
“No, you didn't have to do that! I gave you orders and since I am your official leader, you should have followed them. So now you instead caused a lot of preventable damage!” her fists had stopped glowing at this point but her rage was still very much there.
“But if I followed them then I-” it was obvious that the man still thought that what he had done was needed.
“What, wouldn't be in the fighting? I did that for a reason. You have to win my trust and so far you have been doing exactly nothing that helps me trust you.” she was getting more angry at his stupidity with every one of his responses.
“But everyone else was fighting!” he whined thinking that was a valid argument.
“You sound like a five year old. And everyone else had been helping out and trying to earn their place in the field”
“I wrote an apology letter and trained with people though!”
She briefly closed her eyes, the universal language for ‘dear god help me’ and said “I read your bullshit letter. The actual words ‘I'm sorry’ didn't appear once. It was just full of excuses and reasons like ‘They we're trying to kill Bucky!’. Have you seen Tony's suit? If he was trying to kill you he would have.”
“Carol, you don't understand! I'm a valuable part of this team and should be in the middle of the fight.” He was now getting agitated as well.
“That's Captain Marvel to you. Also you’re not important to the team. I could replace you in a snap of my fingers. But I've been told I'm supposed to give you a chance. So don't waste your time thinking shit like ‘I'm safe. They can't replace me!’ because we can and I will” She has given up a while ago on trying to sound kind and friendly to entitled assholes such as Steve Rogers.
Steve looked like he was going to say something but then thought better of it as he turned around and walked out. Carol loosened a sigh and walked back to her new team.
