[ In this video is an examination table. On the examination video is something that might have been once Candy Deconnick. The green skin gives it away that it isn't her, but instead a Skrull. There are instruments around, and the lights are bright. There are some computers off to the far sides, but the screens aren't accessible at the moment. On the bottom right portion of the screen Tony pops up ala "picture in picture", and he points to the much larger frame. ]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Skrull. I know Jen spoke a little bit about it the other day, but I think it's important that everyone gets a good look at what they are after you kill them. Skrulls have an interesting part about their biology that they shape-shift, as I'm sure most of you have been informed. [ He stops gesturing now. ]

Skrulls are dangerous, period. I've had a little time with the body so far, but it's looking like they're the type that people from my world are most familiar with. [ He doesn't say it, but undetectable is what he's going for. ]

I'm in the Avengers Mansion. If you want a closer look, you're welcome to it. [ A pregnant pause. A very pregnant pause, and he finally speaks again. ] Anyone who wants a closer look is free to come down, but iIf you try and take it, or destroy it though, I wouldn't recommend trying. [ If you're a skrull..... 8| ] This is something I want everyone to see, whether through this, or in person. I'd be happy to give the knowledge we do have in the Skrull race.

If you have a knack with biology or scientific principles, I can also spread some of the data we do have. Or you can take a closer look and gather some of your own.

As well as can be expected, I'm afraid. No new data.

Alright. Great. [ /sarcasm ] I'm calling dibs on any kind of scanning equipment you've got that easy to use when you're done with it.

If there's any that will work.

Not for the Skrulls, for me. My powers are on the fritz and since Hank's been ported out... Looks like I'm on my own for figuring this one out.

[ He drops what he's got in his hand, a scalpel, and looks at the camera. He's actually around his comm for the moment, surprisingly. ]

What!?

I can't use my powers right. Either nothing happens, or it's a little off from what I intended. [ there's a somewhat long pause, and then, a little quieter: ] This happened last time too.

[ A slight hiss ]

Carol, has anything weird happened lately?

I don't know. I had a cold last week, and that's rare. [ another pause ] Tony, last time this happened, it was bad.

[ and she's maybe freaking out a little and trying to hide it because of this and the fact that clint and bobbi think she's a skrull. ]

[ He doesn't say anything. Not for a moment. ]

I can see why.

... You think I'm a Skrull, don't you?

[ HAHA HER LIFE... ]

No! OF course I don't. [ But he's certainly...not ruling it out. ]

[ she's visibly relieved by that. tony you are the best bro ;; ]

Alright. ... Alright. [ small pause as she rallies and gets her game face back on. she believes him, but she's also figuring the suspicion is going to be there a little more that it would have been otherwise. which she doesn't really blame him for. ] Last time this happened was during the invasion, but I thought it was connected to another alien incident. It's looking like either I was wrong, or there's something else that's messing with me. Either way, this isn't good.

It happened during the invasion? [ He's filing that away, to ask someone else, and make sure that it actually did, and if she'd been a skrull? ]

No. This isn't good at all. None of this is.

It started during the invasion. It didn't stop until... later.

Reed built something before. A Skrull detector. Is there any way we can build one here?

Did he? During the invasion?

He and I couldn't figure out a way, back home.

He did.

Was Hank in on that, or was it just the two of you?

Hank was. [ a sigh. ]

It was just the three of us.

Hank was a Skrull.

I know. He told me, when he was here.

What else do you know about what happened?

[ and what more does she need to fill him in on ]

Pretty much that they had infiltrated pretty high, if Hank was one of them, and that Jan's-- [ you know... ]

[ jan :c ]

I don't know if there's much else to tell that could be helpful, outside of that and what I just told you. [ does she tell him jarvis was a skrull :|a ]

[ DON'T BREAK HIS HEART ]

Well, that's disappointing. Is it bad if I cross my fingers for Reed to miraculously show up?

[ THAT WOULD BE LIKE THE WORST THING TO HEAR, WOULDN'T IT 8( ]

No. If I thought it would make a difference, I'd do the same. We could use his brain right about now.
