There's one last thing I need you to do.

Flint!

[ Gasps ]

I was just kidnapped by a crazy woman.

Don't worry.

She's with me.

If I find you're keeping things from me, there will be consequences.

What is this about your brother coming for the Destroyer?

I'm only here because of Father's orders.

I'll tell you when the ringing stops.

By the way, "fight to the death"?

Really?

Yeah, well, I had to make a splashy entrance.

Yeah, well, you could have jumped in the octagon yourself, then.

Well, wouldn't be fair.

I do push-ups now.

Double digits.

That's impressive.

You have no idea how good it is to see you.

You're here...with a spaceship.

Seems impossible.

Nothing is impossible anymore.

Full story later.

Yeah, there will be pints.

There will be gin.

Faulnak: It should be.

Scars are badges of honor for the victor.

But as expected, your priorities are misplaced.

What news of the Destroyer?

She has no power, no ship, and nowhere to run.

Have patience, dear brother.

Patience is a feeble cover for inaction.

Double the guard.

Have them sweep floor by floor -- While your expertise is appreciated, I have the matter under control.

There's a system in place, and it has served me well.

Sinara will end this inconvenience.

As you saw by her display in the Crater, she is the most capable warrior in my employ.

Your best has proven inadequate.

You remember my man, Maston-Dar, here.

He'll make quick work of this.

It's a direct thr*at.

These people will give us up in a heartbeat if it'll save their own lives.

These Kree may be cruel, but they're not stupid.

It's only a matter of time till this trail of bodies leads them right to us.

It's time for us to make a move.

♪♪ Finally.

There's work to be done.

Faulnak loves to play general.

Let him.

I need him to be satiated.

He's the gatekeeper to my father, to our freedom.

"Our"?

Don't be dramatic.

He gives the orders now, no?

I see.

You're resentful because I allowed him to throw you in the Crater.

Well, look at you -- no worse for wear.

You held your own against the Destroyer of Worlds, as I knew you would.

Your strength has never let me down.

And now I ask for you to lend it to me once again.

We're so close, Sinara...

They have no interest in me, as I have no tender insides for them to extract.

I thought Fitz was done building robots.

I am not a robot.

I am a sentient Chronicom from the constellation you know as Cygnus.

We need to get out of the Lighthouse.

So instead of rescue them, we abandon them?

We don't have a choice right now.

They would do the same thing.

I agree.

We regroup and come back for them more prepared.

Firearms are fine...

What option did I have?

Glory!

Drink the Odium.

Fight and die like any of the Kasius family name would have rather than fleeing with your low-born subordinate.

I wondered...

is it her beauty that you admire or her ability to k*ll?

Sinara defended me.

She cut down my would-be attackers -- And you were both exiled for abandoning your posts!

She saved my life!

She's been by my side ever since.

You call me weak.

My strength comes from surrounding myself...

with loyalty.

More platitudes.

The only thing that runs deeper than the river of blood from your fallen soldiers is the shame you bring on our family.

You're like this planet, brother -- once full of promise and father's hopes to be molded into something magnificent.

And now...

just a broken speck of dust confined to the darkest edge of the galaxy.

I'm eager for my man to find the Destroyer...

so I can take leave of both.

Must be the hub for life-support systems.

Well, of course there'd be one.

Convenient?

No, it's mind-blowing I managed to escape my room after Coulson welded the door shut.

I had to cr*ck a window.

A lot of my personal valuables are now floating around space, thanks very much, everybody.

What?

This story's supposed to make me feel better, that Coulson locked you up?

We were working out our differences, all right?

I don't have time to get into this.

Can we discuss this after we're out of the line of fire?

Yes, thank you...this guy.

Now please follow me.
