We were driving the motorcycles towards Pancho's bar and the whole time I was thinking about how to get more powerful shadow soldiers. The ones I had were powerful sure, but they wouldn't be enough for Hela, not to mention Thanos.
As I was thinking this, I had a sudden thought.
'I am the heir to the throne of Asgard, the protector of the Nine Realms. Why can't I use that to my advantage?'
There were plenty of powerful creatures to fight and make Into my shadows. And once I become powerful enough, I can make the Eternals into my shadows, well at least the ones that go bad or were going to die anyways.
If I could also get the shadow of the Deviant that could evolve, that'd be even better. I don't know what effect, becoming one of my shadows, would have on the Deviant or the Eternals.
Would the Deviant still be able to evolve, would the Eternal shadows still have access to cosmic energy as they are artificial beings, so it should be ingrained more into their genetics rather than their souls.
It's questions like this, and the benefits that come with experimenting with my powers, that occupy my idle mind more often than not.
I know that the majority of my powerful soldiers will come a lot later. I will be getting Abomination in 2008, I will get an entire armies worth of Chitauri soldiers, to include Leviathans, in 2012, Dark Elves in 2013, and a bunch of dead HYDRA Winter soldiers after that.
I also hope to increase my martial skills and fully unlock my powers as The Shadow Monarch before the events of Thor Ragnarok.
'I WILL DEFEAT HELA AND SAVE ASGARD'
My thoughts were interrupted when I realized that Carol had slowed down and I saw the red and black sign that said, Pancho's Bar, on the front as we pulled into the parking lot.
Carol walked in and I could see she was having flashes of her memories on earth and I knew what was coming next.

"And the woman said there were more?" Talos(currently disguised as Fury's boss) asked.
"The word she used was 'infiltration.'" Fury replied.
"You believe her?" Talos asked
"Not until I saw this." Fury said gesturing to the dead Skrull currently being autopsied
"What's your plan?" Talos asked.
"I'll find Blockbuster girl. I got word on a motorcycle thief that fits her description. If she can tell us why these lizards are here, maybe she can tell us how to kick em to the curb." Fury replied.
"And the other one, The so called son of Odin?" Talos asked.
"They seem to be working together. That motorcycle thief I heard about, had a friend." Fury replied.
"Alright, keep me updated. Oh and uh, keep this quiet. We don't know who we can trust." Talos said as Fury walked out.

(Back at Pancho's)
After pausing for a minute, Carol walked over to some pictures on the wall and saw one with the Pegasus symbol on it.
"Uh, where was this photograph taken?" She asked the worker/owner as he walked over.
"An airport." He replied sort of confused.
"Where's Pegasus?" Vers asked afterwards.
"That's classified, not unlike the files I started on you two. But i see you've both changed it up since then, Grunge is a good look for you. " Fury said to us both as he walked in since we were actually dressed relatively similar to eachother.
He paused and then motioned to the worker to leave.
"Oh you started a file on me? You shouldn't have." I teased.
My words seemed to have bothered Fury as he frowned, but only barely. I only saw it because I was looking for a reaction.
"What happened to your fancy words, your highness?" Fury asked sardonically.
"Well, let's just call it a strategic decision. It's a lot easier to hide when the people who are looking for you, believe you're ignorant. My little brother on the other hand, oh, he talks like that a lot, rather annoying really." I replied stressing the word strategic.
Fury didn't like the implications that I played him so well and that I seemed to know so much as I seemed to allude to the first part of their organizations name.
When he had showed his badge to the two before, it didn't show what S.H.I.E.L.D. stood for. Even if it had, Fury saw that the prince didn't even look at the badge.
He would make sure to file that away for the future and he mentioned a brother, so there are more like him.
Carol interrupted our conversation with her own little jab at Fury.
"Did you have a rough day, Agent Fury?" She asked jokingly
"It was cool, you know? Had a space invasion, big car chase. Got to watch an alien autopsy. Typical nine-to-five." Fury replied with as much glib as Carol.
"So you saw one?" Carol asked
"I was never one to believe in aliens, but I can't unsee that." Fury said
"This is gonna get a little awkward, but I gotta ask." Carol said.
"You think I'm one of those green things?" He asked.
"Can't be too careful." Carol commented.
"You are looking at 100% red-blooded Earth man." Fury replied.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna need proof." She said.
"We talking cheek swab or urine sample?" He joked.
"No, the DNA would match." Carol replied.
"You want my AOL password?" Fury asked to which I laughed.
Fury filed that away as I got the reference which implied a knowledge of the culture.
"Skrulls can only Sim recent memories of their host bodies." Carol replied ignoring me.
"Oh, oh. You wanna get personal." Fury said as he and Carol both went to sit down at a table with I followed with a chair.
Carol and Fury teased back and forth similar to how I would with my brothers until Carol turned to me.
"What?" I asked feigning ignorance.
"It's your turn, prove your not a skrull." She said.
"Haven't I already proven myself enough?" I asked.
"It would seem that way, but you already lied to me before so, better safe than sorry." Carol replied.
"Fair enough. What do you want to know?" I asked.
Carol got ready to ask me some questions and Fury had adjusted himself as if preparing to hear her better as he wanted more information about me.
"Where were you born?" She asked.
"Asgard, you already know I'm an Asgardian." I replied sort of annoyed she seemed to be giving me the same questions she gave Fury
"Name of your first pet?" She asked.
I paused and I saw Carol's hand begin to glow and Fury brought his hand towards his side where his gun was.
"Hang on, it was 100 years ago, I'm trying to remember." I said frustrated.
They both visibly relaxed but Fury added that bit of information to his mental checklist of information about me.
"Ahh right, his name was Tor." I replied.
"Tor?" Carol asked teasingly.
"Well I named him after my little brother to mess with him a bit. He didn't appreciate it, but he came to love Tor like his own pet. Well if he had one, my mother never trusted him to look after a pet, I'm not surprised. Honestly my brother is....." I explained before Carol held up a hand to stop me.
"Okay, I get it. You don't have to give me your entire life story."
"Belive me, if I gave you my entire life story of the last 110 years, we'd be here all year." I replied jokingly.
I didn't mind that Fury would probably have that information as well because of the fact that Asgard has a time dilation from Earth so by the time I visited Earth again, I'd be a lot older.
Carol looked at both of us before saying one last thing, but I could see a subtle smirk on her face.
"Name a detail so bizarre a skrull could never fabricate it."
Fury scoffed but decided to answer.
"If toast is cut diagonally I can't eat it."
Carol smiled slyly.
"You didn't need that did you?" He asked
"No. No I didn't, but I enjoyed it." Carol said before turning back to me expectantly.
"Yeah let's make this easier for both of us." I said as I summoned a black flame in my hand.
This seemed to satisfy Carol, but Fury was less impressed.
"And that proves it because?" Fury asked.
"That's magic. Skrulls can't do magic. At least as far as I know." I replied.
"Okay, what about you? Prove you're not a skrull." Fury asked Carol.
Carol then shot a photon blast just like in the movie. After that she began talking with Fury about finding out what Pegasus was as I was sort of just there.
