Carol Danvers	Captain Marvel waited a while after first meeting Jessica to allow her time to orient herself with Alpha Flight, before arranging for a one on one meeting, purely because she was a new recruit. She set the meeting in the rather intimate and not quite officious setting of her own quarters on the station, dressed in her Captain Marvel uniform. There are refreshments waiting should Jessica wish for anything. The door is open in waiting for Jessica's arrival.
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz arrives promptly on time, glowing dimly green, in her Lantern uniform. She doesn't wear as mask but has the Lantern emblem glowing around her right eye, and the ring on her left hand glows a bit brighter than most. "Lantern Cruz, reporting as ordered," she states, then salutes like a soldier would. She is trying to take this serious, but obviously isn't sure what's going on here.
Carol Danvers	"No need to be formal," Carol motions for Jessica to come in with a smile, "have a seat," she gestures at the option of one of two sits, or next to Carol on her bed, if she prefers. "How are you fitting in with Alpha Flight so far, Jessica?"
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz blinks. "Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't have much expereince in a command structure and... I'm not really sure what to do honestly." She sighs softly. "I don't feel like I fit in - but maybe... I'm just not used to being around people. I was a virtual hermit for... over five years."
Carol Danvers	"It's fairly simple," Carol states with a friendly smile, "there's rank, higher rank gets to command the lower rank. Not that complicated. But in Alpha Flight, we tend to be a bit more lenient and less formal. Rank will only be pulled when absolutely required. For the most part, think of us as a group of likeminded individuals, focused on keeping the Earth safe from the threats we do know are out there...double for you, being a Green Lantern." Carol nods as Jessica gets more in-depth with her specific situation, "why don't we go with that? What can, or would you like to tell me about yourself?"
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz nods slowly. "Well... I was a hunter and a novelist when I was out in the woods... and spotted the mob burying a body. I and my friends ran, and my firends were gunned down. I hid in my house - and didn't ieave it for years. Just became a hermit." She holds her hand up and a hologram appears in the room of a crowded house - filled with shelves of all sorts of products with barley any room to work, then it fades. "I had no personal interaction for years. Just email with my publisher for my books and online shopping." She sighs. "It's hard to talk about that period of my life."
Carol Danvers	"A novelist? Hunter? That's a logical, yet somehow, quite separate set of professions. Which did you enjoy more...?" Carol asks a seemingly unrelated question. She nods at the follow up, "that sounds like it would leave a scar, so, how did you wind up being a Lantern if you were a recluse, scared of living your apartment?"
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz shrugs. "Novelist is what paid the bills, hunter was a hobby." She shrugs. "This isn't my first talking ring. There was another. Which, while considering, we should be on the lookout for if it ever comes here again." She sighs softly. "One day, a dark green ring appeared before me, telling me I was chosen to annihilate the world due to my cowardice." She hsrugs. "I shot it in the air with a rifle but that just made it mad. It attached itself to me. Forced me to do some things... the Justice League calmed me down. But kept tabs on me."
Carol Danvers	"That is a very odd sounding ring...destruction through cowardice...? An almost humorous cricique of our political systems on Earth," Carol smirks, clearly not having gone as open as she could with her opinion of the matter. Just a glimpse will do. "I would assume that is not a construct of Oa...correct?"
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz nods. "Indeed. As far as I tell it came from an alternate universe though Volthoom never told the truth. It used my fear as an energy source - kinda like a backwards Yellow Lantern. But... I didn't want to destroy the world. So I stalled. Delayed. Did everyting I could to resist. And... after fooling it one last time... it abandoned me. In a building fire I took it to to try to save people. It's fine, I got out." She then smiles faintly. "The willpower necessary to drive the evil ring to abandon a living host must have been what attract Anillo here to me." The ring on her hand beeps in the affirmative. "It told me what happened to all prior hosts... they died. Mostly due to heart attacks. Not I."
Carol Danvers	"I should like to find this Volthoom...teach it the true punishment its mechaniation deserve..." Carol speaks calmly and without a trace of anger. Her conviction, however, is absolute. "A shame I didn't happen by it while I was surfing the cosmos as Binary."
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz shrugs. "It's out there... somewhere." She sighs softly. "And some poor cowardly soul somewhere is now burdened." She sighs. "It left me with scars. Physical and mental. Fear... fear attacks might work extra well on me. A Yellow Lantern would be devastating to me." She then sighs as her right sleeve vanishes. Showing her bare arm. Which... is covered in a spiderweb of scars from her right ring fonger up her arm - dark green scars, like roots, covering her arm,m then narrowing at her shoulder with a single tendril going up by her ear. "I'm not good with crowds either. As far as Lanterns go... I'm not a very great one."
Carol Danvers	"Do you feel you are still prone to fear? Is it something you would like to work on?" Carol asks, taking mental notes, smiling at Jessica as she remarks, "being aware of your weakness is a very strong ability to have."
Jessica Cruz	Jessica Cruz sighs softly. "It is very possible that Volthoom left mental scars. I've been avoiding any situations of the sort. Even scary movies." She smiles. "On the one side, another Green Lantern thinks I'm getting quite talented with my constructs... I have adopted a plant theme. The Nature Chanenl is so fascinating when you're drunk."
Carol Danvers	"I can't help you with constructs, not much of my thing, but I can help you with many other aspects. Mental part, particularly, such as...working on what is fear, and why it affects you," Carol nods, before getting up as the computer informs her that her attendance is required in the Command Center, "if you'll excuse me, Jessica, glad we had this chat...keep working on your weakness as much as you do your constructs."
