"Do you think you could let me go mister; I don't think that holding me hostage is very nice. Especially when you don't mean any harm at all." Law asked in his most childish tone possible, trying to convince the Skrull to release him.
"Sorry little man, but I don't think that they'll let me live if I release you, I just want to talk. How about this I'll let the kid go if everyone here agrees to not kill me" the Skrull said clearly not enjoying holding a child a hostage.
"Talos release the boy or I will not hesitate to destroy you. If you came to talk you shouldn't have taken a hostage" Carol said with her hands beginning to pulse with light. At this point also pulled out his gun and pointed at the alien that had captured Law.
"That's not going to happen until you swear that you will not kill me until I've had a chance to talk. I can't take any chances, you've crushed 20 of my best men while handicapped, this is my last chance" Talos replied not releasing Law. This tense stand-off continued for a few minutes before Liz decided to intervene.
"Release my child, I promise you'll get your chance to talk" Liz pleaded clearly hoping that he would release her baby boy. Fury and Carol both nodded accepting his terms.
"Fine, I'll release the boy," Talos said while taking his gun of Law's head and releasing him. Law quickly walked to his mother's side put off by being held, hostage. He wasn't in any real danger but the feeling of having your life depend on another's mood is pretty nauseating.
The following events played out exactly like in the movie except it was slightly tenser. Talos brought up the audio recording from the plane crash that subsequently gave Carol her powers. After hearing the audio file Carol who had regained all her memories was left in a moral dilemma for about 20 minutes before she was comforted by her friends and surprising Talos. Honestly, the entire situation was so surreal, seeing it from a screen is different than actually living it.
The whole thing was going so smoothly, Liz, Maria, and Talos were comforting their Carol in the front of the house while Fury, Monica, Law, and Goose watched them a few feet away.
Suddenly out of the blue a blast of light headed towards Law's mother who happened to be standing in front of Talos. In those few moments Law saw everything moving slowly, he heard the ring of the blaster sound as the bold of light headed towards his mother.
Luckily, Carols saw the light as well and quickly pushed her two friends out of the way and blocked the shot. Beside a tree around 20 feet away was a blue man with a futuristic gun in his hands.
"Att-Lass" screamed Carol in anger while her lands light up and started exuding power.
"You forced me to do this Vers. I've already sent a signal to Yon-Rogg, just hand over Talos and"
That was all he managed to say before he was assaulted by Law who was in a state of blind fury. Law attacked Att-lass at a speed that could not be tracked, systematically breaking him.
Law first appeared in front of the alien punching him in the stomach at a speed he couldn't resist and with enough power to break through the armor that he was wearing. Then he disappeared and reappeared behind the alien grabbing both his wrists. With cruelty unbefitting of a child, he broke both arms of the almost successful attacker by forcefully snapping them behind his back while using his foot as leverage (Author's note: Sasuke Style).
"May you rest in hell, you piece of s***?" said Law the alien's neck without giving him a chance to talk.
As Law started to calm down, he stared at the now dead body of Att-lass and realized the severity of his actions. He had killed someone, that too in front of his mother. He had also revealed his powers, but that was only a secondary thought.
He had come to terms with the fact that he would eventually have to take a life early on in his reincarnation. After all, it would be pure stupidity to allow your enemies to escape so that they could try and harm you again in the future. No, the fact that he killed someone sickened him, but that wasn't the main thing was running through Law's mind.
The main thing was the fact that he did something that most would consider monstrous in front of his mother possibly scaring her. Law looked up expecting to see a fearful Liz but instead, he only saw her running for him.
Instead of saying anything she instantly engulfed him in a hug and started to stroke his head; comforting him. All the tension, stress and anxiety that had built up was instantly dispersed tiring him out. He fell asleep in the comforting arms of his mother.
A couple of hours passed, and it was already night time before Law woke up in an unfamiliar bedroom alone. As soon as he sat up, he heard the door open.
"Oh, your awake, that's good you were sleeping for a while there. Um, Law, mom said to wake you up and to lead you to the dining room. So, follow me" said Monica not expecting Law to actually be awake yet. She stood by the door waiting for Law to follow her.
"I'm sorry if I scared you" murmured Law as he followed her towards the dining room.
"It's okay. I didn't really see anything cuz Fury covered my face, and I'm not really scared of you. Well, I was at first until mom and aunty Carol said you did it to protect us. So, I'm not really scared of you" Monica said trying to act tough, but Law could tell was still a little afraid. This was completely understandable after all most adults would be terrified of Law's actions, but that didn't stop it from hurting him.
"I'm sorry for my actions Monica. I hope you will forgive me." Law calmly said as he rubbed the head of the brave girl. She slightly flinched from his actions but that was all.
The rest of the trip towards the dining room was made in silence. As soon as he entered the room he was pulled into a tight hug by his mother.
"Thank God you're okay my little baby boy. I was so worried when you passed out, I was going to immediately try and bring you to a doctor, but I was assured you were just tired. Thank God you are alright" Lissandra said as she released him from the hug and started checking over him.
"I'm fine mom, I just grateful that you are okay" whispered Law. Law looked at the room scanning his surroundings. Everyone was present, Maria, Carol, Fury, Goose, Talos, and other Skrull. He expected to be greeted by fearful stares but instead received looks of apprehension.
'Well that's better than fear' Law thought.
All the adults here were either part of the army, government agent, or lifelong warriors, so they were squeamish about death and killing. Law slowly approached Carol and bowed.
"Thank you"
That was all that Law needed to say to her; she had protected his family.
"There is no need to thank me, Liz is my friend. I would protect her no matter what. You must be Law her adorable little boy" Carol cooed as he hugged him.
"Aww your so cute. Did you know that your mother sends out baby's pictures of you to all her friends?" She said clearly trying to break the tension in the room. It somewhat worked causing the room to lose it once almost tangible tension.
"So, son, do you want to explain what happened out there," Fury asked earning a glare more Liz, Maria, and Carol.
"You were there, why would I have to explain anything. You had first row seats" Law rebuked not in the mood to deal with Fury.
"Yes, I did, and I want to know how you could move so fast. The cruelty I can understand Mr. Napier, you did what I would have done if someone threatened my loved ones. For that, you have my sympathies. But what I can't understand is your inhuman abilities, so answer me this Mr. Napier what are you?" demanded Fury, not enjoying being rebuked.
"I'm as human as you are Mr. …, what's your name again? My name is Lawrence Napier, but you seem to already know that?" said Law trying to buy himself time to think.
"My name is Agent Fury; you don't have to know my first name. Now answer my question?" snapped Fury not liking the fact that he was arguing with a teenager.
"Leave the kid alone Fury, you're in my house remember that. I won't have you treating my guests in such a rude way Nick" cautioned Maria.
"Yeah, just leave the kid be, he hasn't done any harm to us," said Talos joining in.
"You can just consider me a superhuman, like Captain America. No, I'm not anyone's science project or a mutant." Replied Law while sending Maria, and Talos grateful looks for supporting him.
"Fine, but after everything is over, we are discussing this do understand," Fury said while staring at Law.
Law a lazy nod of his head before sitting beside his mother hoping that he would get dinner soon.
'This is not how I wanted my trip with my mom go to' Law thought while sitting quietly trying to be forgotten by everyone else.
