✵VIII

✵Yon-Rogg

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"You are getting good Yon," Cassandra compliments as I reload my gun. "Thank you Cass," I thank. I slide the slide and put my finger on the trigger.

Harry goes in the shooting room and immediately my blue blood boiled.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He hugs Cassandra from the back. "Hello Cassandra," he greets and she exclaims, "Harry!" She hugs him back.

"How's my favorite girl doing?" he asks and Cassandra looks at me. I give her a fake smile. I am obviously mad. Not at Cassandra, at Harry.

"I am fine, Harry. How about you?" she replies and he smiles. "I am super duper fine, especially when I saw my favorite girl," he replies which makes me roll my eyes.

"How about we spar after shooting practice?" he suggests and she agrees, "Sure, let me get my stuff first." Cassandra leaves me alone with this boy.

I reload my gun when suddenly he pushes me to the wall. "What is your problem?" I ask in irritation. "You are my problem," he answers.

"Stay away from my Cassandra," he states through his gritted teeth. "No, you stay away from my Cass," I shove him away from me.

"She will never like you. You are just some stupid trainee," Harry tells me but I smirk. "Maybe she will never like me. But she trust me." Harry gasp. "Does she trust you?" I ask.

What is the big deal that he gasp when I told him she trusts me?

"Harry, I am ready," Cassandra comes back. "Let's go," Harry hold Cassandra's hand. "Wait!" she exclaims. "Yon come with us," she tells me and I smile widely. "I'm coming," I say as I jog to grab my stuff.

As I put my stuff in my bag, I think on what just happen. Did I just get jealous on Harry? Am I having a feeling towards Cassandra? Do I like her?

"No, I shouldn't like her," I tell myself. I am going to betray her. She can love someone else. I suddenly groan in madness.

I don't like Cassandra. I am in love with her. How foolish is this heart of mine? Me, falling for the girl I am going to betray with. I am going back to Hala. I am going to leave her behind.

✵

"What are you going to do on your free time after lunch?" Cass asks me and I reply, "I am just going to relax by the tree." "Can I join you?" she asks. Korath is going to get me by the tree. I can't let her see my escape.

"Cassandra, I need sometime alone I just want a silence," I make up an excuse and she nods. "Okay," she says in a sad tone.

I grab her chin and raise her head. "Cass, remember that I am always by your side. Even thou I am gone, I am here," I point her heart. "I am in your heart." She smiles sadly, "Fine, see you later."

I walk by the tree and stay there for a while. I think about what I have done for the past days.

I lied to Cassandra. I fool her on everything. I used her. I am a bad person. I did that to the person I fallen in love with.

I want to go back to Hala. I want to finish what I begin with. I want to end the Skrulls. I want to restore peace in the galaxy. For Cassandra. I will do it for Cassandra.

"Commander," I hear a familiar. I look at my back and see Korath. "Korath!" I happily exclaim. I stand up and hug him. "It's good to see you," I state and he says back, "It's good to you too Commander."

"Where the Helion?" I ask and the Korath points up. I see Att-Lass landing the ship in front of S.H.I.E.L.D. I smile in happiness. I am going back to Hala.

The hangar slowly opens. It reveals the figure of Bron-Char. "Commander!" he greets excitingly. Me and Korath walk in the Helion. I hug all my teammates. "It's good to be back," I whisper.

"Are we ready?" Att-Lass asks and I say, "Ready." Att-Lass goes to pilot seat. "Let's go back to Hala," Korath states. The Helion slowly flies up. Suddenly, we hear the sound of bullets hitting the ship. "What do we do Commander?" Att-Lass ask.

"Give up Yon-Rogg if you want to be alive," Fury states at the megaphone. They start hitting the Helion again.

"Fire the ground, not the people. Let's warn them that we have a weapon also, " I instruct and Att-Lass nods and starts using the Helion's gun to hit the ground.

"Stupid girl," I hear Att-Lass mumble under his breath. I walk to the pilot seat and see Cassandra. She is shooting the Helion. Her brown eyes meets mine and she stops hitting the Helion.

Suddenly, she got hit. "No!" I scream loudly. I watch her slowly falling on the ground. "Nooooo!!!!" I exclaim.

The Helion slowly takes off and starts leaving the place. I immediately walk to the hangar. And press the button. "What are you doing?" Korath asks. Tha hangers slowly opens and I see that I am very up the ground. "Cassandra needs me," I whispers and jump from the Helion.

"Commander!" I hear my teammates faint voice. I didn't mind them. I want to see if Cassandra is fine. I need to see the woman I love. I can't leave her behind. I just can't.

I roll off on the ground as I fall. I groan in pain but still stand up. I run to Cassandra and see her put on the stretcher. I run to her and see blood oozing on her side. "Cassandra!" I scream loudly.

Suddenly, I feel electric currents flowing to me. I slowly fall to the floor.

"Cass..."
