Imagine waking up a mature woman: www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/portrait-of-confident-mature-woman-royalty-free-image/901578916?adppopup=true"... I'm starting to think this this isn't a dream." Carol Danvers mutters to herself as she stands outside the New York Neighborhood affectionately referred to as E-Town. Dressed fashionably for her age, Carol's knees were killing her. Not to mention her neck. And why was everything so fuzzy? "... Great, do I have to go back for my... glasses?" Carol sighs. She felt so old, needing glasses! How humiliating! Despite her poor eyesight, Carol notices an awful lot of aliens passing her by. A norm for E-Town, a community she was unaware of till now. The knowledge running through her head, Carol realizes this area is known for aliens from across the stars. "Ma'am Marvel." A pedestrian nods. Ma'am Marvel? Is that what's she called here? God, could she feel any older! ... And that's when her belly gurgles. "Right, I need some food so I can take my back pills." Carol reasons. She lowers her head in shame, but, quickly lifts it back up, her age spotted hands on her neck. "Right, they're for my neck too!" Carol frowns, showing off the wrinkles around her thinned lips. -Carol is a Teacher at Avengers Academy -Carol is a Detective -Suggestion

As Carol shuffles off towards a diner instinctively, she notices a young man sitting on a stoop, looking at his phone. www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/portrait-of-man-wearing-alien-costume-and-bright-royalty-free-image/1322221600?adppopup=trueHer eyes flutter, her vision shot, she takes a moment to process who he is. "Ti Do The Solfa." Carol speaks in a shrill tone. "Do Mi Re Fa? So So So Mi La Do!" Ti Do speaks in Solfègen. It takes a moment for Carol's brain to register the language. <"I'm not doing anything, Carol."> "Sure, you're not." Carol responds harshly. <"I'm just a Solfan Immigrant making an honest living."> Carol laughs, hurting her lower back as a result. "I'm gonna make this quick, Mi Ti Do Re Fa So, if I hear anything about the Skrulls using ancient romulan weapons, your keister is on my lap, got it?!" Ti Do scoffs at the threat. Within seconds, Carol pounces at the stoop, her saggy breasts jiggling, her back on fire, the steps cracked as Ti Do, his phone dropped, falls on his back. Carol leans at him, body achy. "Got it?!" <"Yes, Ma'am! I-I understand!"> Ti Do stammers nervously. Carol takes a moment to shift her body upwards, her focus back on breakfast. "I should get some icy- hot while I'm out." Carol reasons. "Darn back pain." -Carol at a corner store -Carol at a Diner -Suggestion

Carol shuffles around a corner store called Cork's. Ran by an alien with big ears and sharp teeth.
"We have a sale on dental cream." The Owner informs Carol as he passes her by.
That both offended the aged heroine, but, also, was helpful.
... She actually does use that regularly.
A cart in hand, Carol squints her eyes. Her cart was stacks with toiletries fitting a woman of her advanced age.
"Wasn't I just getting Icy-Hot?!"
But that's how it goes. Quick trips aren't really a thing the older you get, Carol reasons. You come for once thing, fumbled around, and realize you also need pepto, you also need batteries for your hearing aid, you also need depends...
Depends?!
Carol grabs the box with a frown. Accidents do happen.
"God, I hope this is just a dream!"

Standing in line, out of nowhere, Carol feels a cart hit her leg. "Oops, sorry!" A Elderly Voice rabbles. Carol turns, slowly, to see a strangely families senior citizen. www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/senior-woman-shopping-in-grocery-store-royalty-free-image/598962032?adppopup=true"... Gwen?" Carol squints her eyes. The old woman smirks. "Forgot your glasses at home, too?" Mrs Gwen Parker chuckles. "Darn cataracts, it's not like they help much these days!" Carol nods, her neck jolting lightly with a rush of pain. "You okay?" "My neck." Carol frowns. "Oh, I know that feeling! Try waking up on the wall, I swear, my neck should be pretzel by now!" As the old ladies continue their chat, Carol can't help staring at Gwen. God, she's ancient! Time is a cruel force! Especially when it comes to breasts! -Carol and Gwen keep chatting -Carol eats breakfast -Suggestion

"So, how's the job these days?" Gwen asks. "Are you ever going to retire?"
Carol finds her head shaking.
Gwen sighs.
"You're so stubborn, Carol! Retirement isn't so bad. You could still be just as active! The girls and I are taking a pottery class if you're interested."
Carol once again shakes her head. An act that was, inevitably, foolish.
As she cringes, Gwen sighs.
"Well, I better get going, I promised Peter my world famous meatloaf for dinner." Gwen smiles, showing off her dentures. "Take care, Carol."
"You too."
As Spider-Nan shuffles off, Carol frowns.
"Great, she thinks this is normal."

At the front of the till, a purple skinned clerk finishes scanning Carol's items.
A pile of old lady toiletries crammed into two plastic bags.
"Cash or card, ma'am?" The Clerk says kindly.
Carol cringes at the title. Ma'am? Could this be more humiliating?!
She goes for her wallet, her age spotted fingers fishing out coins.
Behind her, teens giggle.
"At least she doesn't write checks." One of them whispers.
"I don't know, that'd be faster than this!"
Carol lowers her head in frustration. So what if she pays in change?! Darn kids and their new fangled Apple Pay!
A good minute later, the task is finished, Carol grabs her bags and heads to the exit.
"Finally, I feel like aged 60 years!"
Carol frowns, she feels the same way!

Carol shuffles off to her local eating spot, feeling so old and tired.
"God, this is awful." Carol mutters to herself. "How could today get any worse?"
"Give me your money, ET Granny!" A man comes out of nowhere with a knife.
Instinctively, Carol moves her leg out, tripping the robber, her leg lifted up, kicking his jaw, causing the man to dive onto the pavement.
"You've got some nerve, young man!" Carol scowls. "You just messed with the wrong old lady!"
She grabs the man by the collar, lifting him upwards.
"We'll take it form here, detective." Two cops appear out of nowhere.
They arrest the man, putting him in the back seat of a cop car.
"Boy, was he dumb." A cop grins.
Carol nods, the paperwork taken care of, she shuffles off to breakfast, her body achy, yet, filled with pride she could still win a fight.
"Maybe this isn't so bad." Carol reasons. "I may be an old biddy, but I'm still one heck of a firecracker!" Carol smiles.
