You know how in Quantumania, Kang offered to give Scott those years he missed with Cassie? What if a Kang variant offers a similiar deal to Carol to give her the thirty years she missed with Monica and Maria back

That would be an awesome fanfic storyline. Exploring what that would look like if she accepted?

Summary: Carol grapples with the complexities of an alternate reality, lost loved ones, and unexpected connections. Binary provides comfort and understanding, but it's still not her Maria. Yet it's unknown if these two can recoup their unique bond that transcends dimensions.

A/N: The Marvels Spoilers…Carolmaria was HEAVYYYY on the brain today partially because Lashana and Brie both posted the Captain Marvel lego characters on their stories today! Then I started listening to sappy country music and got stuck on this song and then reread the inspo fic and decided to do a lil Carol/Binary drabble which kept drabbling....READ THE INSPO FIC FIRST and then enjoy

“I slip in bed when you're asleep

To hold you close and feel your breath on me

Tomorrow there'll be so much to do

So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you”

“Carol, you know I’m not her right?”

“Yes. I know.”

“And you’re sure you’re okay with this?”

“Honestly, no. Not really.”

Binary attempted to conceal it, but Carol could discern the disappointment in those brown eyes she had missed for so many years. Instantly, guilt washed over her, as she despised once again being the cause of a Rambeau's dejection.

“It’s not that I’m not okay with it,” She stammered. “I know you’re not her, and I’m really okay with that. Like a part of me is glad you’re not her because I really enjoy you, but then there's just everything else. It’s just – “ Carol’s voice cracked and she quieted, her emotions swirling in a vortex of exasperation. As much as she wanted to stay here with this Maria, she needed to get far away before she combusted.

“I’m sorry,” she managed before rushing out of the room, navigating the maze of hallways through blinding tears, and then taking to the sky, her safe space.

•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*

“I’m guessing you used to run away from her too when you got upset?”

Carol was startled by the sudden sound of Binary’s voice behind her. She had been so caught up in her haze of emotions that she’d miss the other hero’s presence amongst the stars.

“Oh shit.” She blurted out, rapidly attempting to clear the messy tears from her face. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to jut off like that. I just needed a moment.”

Binary shrugged causally. “It’s okay. I just wanted to come check on you. I know this has been a lot for you.”

“Yea it has,” Carol replied, her tone laced with exasperation. “I’m really struggling to process it all you know. Since Hala all I’ve been doing is processing. The Blip, Maria’s cancer, reconnecting with Monica, losing Monica. And now I’m processing finding Monica, finding you, a Maria in another reality, but not the Maria I knew. That’s a lot of fucking processing you know?”

Binary tried to hide her smile, not wanting to make Carol think that she was making light of her frustrations, but she couldn’t help but laugh and Carol’s ability to be adorable even in the midst of a meltdown. Carol caught the smile, which resulted in her giving a little chuckle at how juvenile she sounded in this moment, not at all like the 60-yo super hero she was.

The two hovered for a while, just sharing the moment.

“I’m not used to being found, you know? Usually when I take off like this, I’m just on my own.”

“Yea I figured. But I also imagined you needed someone to ground you and seeing as though I’ve already demonstrated that I can handle you, I figured I was the right girl for the job.”

“You’re never gonna let that go huh?”

“Never.”

They both laughed and Carol felt once again placated by this woman’s meer presence.

“You ready to rejoin this world Carol? Unlike you, some of us actually have work in the morning.” Binary teased, bumping Carol’s shoulder gently.

“Yea, we can head back.”

The two headed back into the X-mansion, no words shared between them as they meandered the now quiet, dark halls. As they approached the guest quarters where Carol and Monica had taken residence, an unspoken buzz enveloped them. Binary, uneasy with these new emotions, was first to speak.

“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow Carol. And try to stay earthbound at least until the sun rises, okay?” She jeered Carol as she fought off a yawn.

“Aye aye captain.” Carol retorted, throwing her arms up in a playful defeat. “Good night.”

“Night.”

Binary turned and proceeded towards her station. Just as she was about to turn, Carol called out to her.

“Wait!”

Binary froze as Carol quickly caught up to her.

“I just wanted to say thank you for coming to get me tonight and sorry again about earlier.”

“You’ve said that like four times Carol. Like I said, it’s all good.” She reassured Carol and started to walk away, but the blonde woman persisted, walking alongside her down the hallway. Growing slightly frustrated with the woman's nervous presence, Binary stopped and turned around.

“Something else on your mind Carol?” Binary questioned, a hint of annoyance lacing her words.

“I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind staying over tonight, with me, at my place. I mean I know that was the plan before, well that was at least part of the plan, but yea. You know only if you want to.” Carol nervously pushed her hair back, unsure at how her advance would be taken after the night's earlier rejection.

Binary raised an eyebrow, trying to reason through the bewilderment of this oh so familiar stranger.

“Sure.” She smirked. “But only on one condition.”

•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*

“I feel ridiculous in this thing!” Carol pouted, pulling at the satin bonnet that covered her golden locs.

“You mean to tell me that your Maria never made you cover your hair? Just had white girl hair all in her face every night?”

“Well for one, she liked my white girl hair, and I was usually behind her so it didn’t really matter.”

“Well we’ve already talked about this Carol. I don't do little spoon.”

“Yea yea I know.”

Carol continued to adjust the garment on her head, clearly hesitating at joining the other woman in bed.

“You getting in here or not?” Binary invited, holding the blanket back to make room. Carol slid into bed, feeling Binary’s firm, warm body behind her. A long arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.

“Is this okay?” Binary probed softly.

“Yeah.” Carol replied, though her body remained tense with anticipation and uncertainty. She took a deep breath, attempting to be present in the moment, but the emotions began to surge once more. Her breathing grew shaky as she tried to control the flood of feelings, desperate to avoid ruining yet another moment between the two of them.

“Hey, where’s your head at? You can tell me.” Binary questioned, but all Carol heard was Maria. Her Maria. And the sobs returned with vengeance.

Binary held her firmly, absorbing the laments that shuddered through Carol’s frame as she spoke soft, comforting words that she hoped would somehow penetrate the grief and confusion that consumed Carol’s mind.

When Carol awoke, she was baffled by the presence of another in her bed as it had been so long since she’d shared such close quarters. She gently rolled over, the momentary shock of Binary’s presence piercing through the fog of sleep, bringing her back to reality. Her face flushed as she realized that once again she’d become a total mess around this woman who’d she only known for a few weeks. Yet it was so easy to just crumble around her because even though Binary wasn’t the woman she’d loved for decades, she was truly the next best thing.

She watched as Binary slept quietly, her face a constellation of beauty and solace. She reached over and softly wiped the small droplet of drool at the corner of Binary’s mouth, amused at the similarity of the Rambeau woman in this dimension. So many desires stirred in Carol’s mind, but none more pressing than just watching Binary sleep. She’d never tired of that face. She didn’t know what tomorrow would bring after her repeated eruptions of emotions. Yet, even if nothing came of their relationship or they found a way to return her and Monica to the right universe, this moment would stay with Carol forever. Eventually her eyes grew heavy and sleep also found her, drifting off into calm dreams, serenaded by the quiet breaths of Maria Rambeau.

“How long do you wanna be loved?

Is forever enough?

Cause I’m never, never giving you up.”

Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid. They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition. It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.

To Summarize:

Long Covid sufferers experience symptoms like forgetfulness and concentration issues due to leakiness in brain blood vessels, according to research findings.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro confirm that Long Covid patients with brain fog have disrupted blood vessels in their brains, making the neurological symptoms measurable.

Blood vessel leakage in the brain, along with an overactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog in Long Covid patients, leading to potential changes in understanding and treating post-viral conditions.

I can't find a single right-wing news source covering this.

#next can the brain plumber patch up these leaks in my vessels ok #long covid #mecfs #personal

^my conspiracy brain seeing this and seeing Brie immediately reposted it

LASHANA ?!!????!! LASHANA WHAT DOES THIS MEAN LASHANA???!?!?

update to this, the subtitles on the Blu-ray have been changed to “trip on/trip in” which makes NO SENSE. I’m guessing that the change must be caving to the right wing homophobes who hated the joke. They should’ve released a different deleted scene to ign if they anticipated controversy and left this one intact! Booooooooooo

HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND

the captions on YouTube are super duper wrong but. I think. There is a gay sex joke in today’s deleted scene from The Marvels?????? What I’m hearing at 1:09:

Kamala: I’m single…

Valkyrie: okay

Computer: 5 seconds to the jump point.

Valkyrie: oh, you might want to strap on.

Kamala: huh?

Valkyrie: I mean, strap in.

I guess I’ll have to wait til the blu ray is actually released but unsurprisingly I am going insane all over again over this goddamn movie

CarolMaria/StevePeggy Parallels

Alright, I’m making this post because it's SO insane that CarolMaria can have so many parallels to a canon ship and still be considered just friends especially when there's so much more depth to them than most couples in the MCU like come on... they lived together, they raised a child together!! I don’t even care for StevePeggy but I cannot stop thinking about this and I refuse to let this information go unacknowledged. So, let’s get into it!

Met while training to serve the U.S.

Peggy was assigned to Colonel Phillips’ training base where she met Steve, while Carol and Maria met at the Air Force Academy where they were roommates. During these times, they all faced discrimination from some of their colleagues. This led each pair to find comfort and understanding in their partners which helped them establish a deep connection with one another. 

Carol and Steve both risked their lives on a mission that resulted in them being presumed dead.

Steve crashed a plane into a field of ice to prevent Hydra from bombing the U.S. He stayed buried for 70 years, which prevented him from pursuing a relationship with Peggy.

While on a mission to save lives with Dr. Lawson, Carol crashed their jet into the ground following an attack from the Kree. In hopes of stopping them, she blew up the jet’s engine and absorbed the blast’s energy. Yon-Rogg took her to Hala where she spent 6 years away from her home. Carol eventually made her way back to Maria (YAYYY) but left soon after and didn’t come back for 30 years (BOOOO). Nonetheless, they still kept in contact, so a win is a win!

Both of these pairings worked together to save lives. 

In the First Avenger, Steve and Peggy worked together to defeat Hydra, whereas in Captain Marvel, Carol and Maria worked together to defeat the Kree. Like yesss, we love a couple who kicks ass together! 

Also, I think it’s important to note that in other universes, Peggy takes on the Captain America role and Maria takes on the Captain Marvel role. And best believe, I'm praying to god that Carol & Binary meet and fall in love or something! I'll take anything jUST LET ONE MARIA RAMBEAU LIVE!

Maria & Peggy both founded organizations related to the work of Carol & Steve. 

Maria created S.W.O.R.D., an agency dedicated to protecting earth from both extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional threats. I like to think that Maria & Carol worked together on some of these threats and fed each other information and maybe even met up to discuss them amongst doing other things together… who knows!

Peggy helped found S.H.I.E.L.D., a governmental counter-terrorism and intelligence agency tasked with maintaining both national and global security.

Steve & Carol both keep a photograph of their loved one close by.

Steve & Carol both visit their dying loved one.

In the Winter Soldier, Steve visits Peggy in the nursing home. Peggy has aged and is suffering from Alzheimer’s, which will eventually take her life, in contrast to Steve who still looks young and is immune to disease. 

In the Marvels, Carol visits Maria back at home. Maria has aged and is suffering from cancer, which will eventually take her life, in contrast to Carol who still looks young and is immune to disease. 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good Maria looks. She’s 60 something, dying from cancer, and STILL managing to serve face! Black don’t crack fr!!!

Last but not least, the similar lyrics in their songs.

In Captain Marvel, Carol & Maria sing karaoke to "Kiss Me Deadly." The lyrics go as following:

In Endgame, Steve & Peggy dance to "It's Been a Long, Long Time." The lyrics go as following:

In conclusion, CAROL AND MARIA WERE LOVERS NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!! And if Steve can get his happy ending with Peggy then Carol needs to get her happy ending with Maria! Also, Nia’s initial pitch for the Marvels involved time travel which makes me wonder if Carol was gonna pull a Steve and travel back in time to be with Maria. Plus, in the audio commentary for the Marvels, Nia said she liked their connection so….. I'll just end on that.

#omg those lyrics though…. they’re insane for this #one time I wrote a fic where Peggy was the one who did Maria’s heavily redacted interview after carols crash #which was so good if I do say so myself but I never typed it and I left the notebook in my friend’s dorm so. lost forever #carolmaria #danbeau #maria rambeau #carol danvers #captain marvel #the marvels #steggy

omg hii love your writing! i know u said u're trying not to set yourself up for disappointment if she's nothing like u imagined but like................free the thoughts feed temptation what's ur maria rambeau mcu binary like? 👁️

FINE !!! i'll cave (aka i love talking about maria rambeau and no force alive can stop me...not even.........me)

what is my maria rambeau binary like AHHHH honestly she's still not fully fleshed out in my head for reasons you mentioned that i may have mentioned (i'm scared of the brains at marvel) but i think ideally starting with her backstory i want it to be completely different from carol's - i think people have pointed out that 838 maria probably had a similar story to carol because of the kree suit but binary is just BINARY - i think even in the comics (someone let me know if i'm wrong) the character kind of just is (?) like it's the powers without the person if i'm understanding what people have told me lol so i think there's a lot of room to play with who maria was before the powers if there's even a before to see!

in terms of character i think about that one interview with the captain marvel cast (the insane one where brie talked for like a minute and a half straight on how maria is the love of the film.....yeah) where the interviewer said "so maria is like a softer version of carol" and lashana very quickly was like "uhh...no" and I SO AGREE !!! i think maria, because of the era she and carol came into the airforce, had to be a lot tougher than carol actually especially as a Black woman so i want binary to reflect that part of maria the one who was top of her class at USAFA

but with that in miiiiinnnndddd......maria is funny! if you haven't read the prequel novel to captain marvel (higher further faster by liza palmer) i SOOO so recommend it! she's just as fun and ridiculous and stupid (affectionate😭) as carol and while we got little glimpses of that in captain marvel we deserve so much more

this is such a tough question to answer because in terms of "616" maria rambeau we really didn't get a lot so when i think about binary i'm like "man, i hope she's developed!" and i would count that as a win lol

when it comes to her relationship with carol..............................................I'M UNDECIDED!!!!!!!!!!

obviously she doesn't have a monica (or a monice she remembers!!!!) so that leaves us questioning what her relationship with carol is if there's one at all - i think it would be kind of funny if she had a carol and just couldn't stand her and then our carol shows up like "maria!" and binary's like "aw man" but that's just my shits and giggles idea

i don't think i want her to have a carol because i want that spot to be left open for our carol because even if they give us a binary who is in love with her carol danvers it's like okay well how often are we gonna see this universe? is it just a cop out? and i think that's a valid fear with the mcu lmaoooo - PLUS i want her to be flirty SORRY I'LL SAY IT if carol does show up and she either reminds binary of someone she lost or is someone completely new i need binary to have the space to be like "what the hell is wrong with you and why is it working on me" like i need it. i need it? i need it.

so all in allllllllllllllllllllllllll my mcu binary is all the things that maria is and we didn't get the full amount of in captain marvel and the marvels one because she deserves it and two lashana can fucking DO it!

i think that's all from me for now but i will probably have more to say in 6 seconds flat.

**also thank you so much for reading my works :')) that means so so much and warms me right up

#YEAH #much to think about #maria rambeau #mcu binary #carolmaria #danbeau
