But I'm guessing you wont.

You'd guess right. Army, right?

Yes, Ma'am. Airforce?

For a time. And you want to fly this bird?

Don't much care either way. I need to get there and you're the one with the ship. So, either step aside or get moving. Please.

Ooh. Demanding and polite. Is this really how things operated back then?

At least for my part, Danvers. Now, you coming or going?

Uh, you're not the only captain around here, Rogers.

[She pushes right past him and makes herself comfortable in the pilot seat]

Wha-Why? I can't even drive a car! Legally. I can drive a car. I've practiced but-

You're joking, right?

Just because I said I could doesn't mean I'd let you. Not my ship, at least.

You'd better, I only helped design this thing.

I'm well aware, Ma'am. [There's that dashing Roger's smile as he plops down in the co-pilots seat]

Foster, you're a scientist with no piloting training either on this Earth or otherwise.

You could.
Maybe I'll let you fly mine one day.

Then why-

But you can fly. On your own! [makes awkward fire noises]

Assumptions, assumptions.

If I can navigate the bifrost, I can navigate this.

Was it made on Paradise Island or by man?

[See that face? Carol isn't charmed]

Any experience in actually flying?

And?

[Oh she's totally having fun with this spider on a string]

Did you really navigate the bifrost? Or kind of just...slid around one end of the universe to the other?

[Jane raises an eyebrow.]

You wanna see my dissertation on it? Let's take this guy for a test ride already!

I've flown Quin jets before. And other air craft....[That he crashed into the ocean...]

Why do you even HAVE a ship? Isn't that just-

[gestures expansively because it is just EXTRA it's so extra, Captain Danvers. You have a space helmet and can fly IN SPACE without a ship why do you need a ship?

Mind=Blown. Poof.]

You know? Cheating?

[He totally wants to see that space ship, don't get him wrong, but her powers are SO STUPIDLY COOL. not that he wants to see space again. in like. ever. but the inside of a spaceship? yes please sign him up. nasa eat your heart out.]

[that worries her a little. Maybe a lot.]

Successfully?

I only crashed once, and it was because there was no other way.

I read up on that.

[She gives a smirk]

I might let you watch and learn how to pilot that way. But not fly the craft.

Can't carry everything in my suit, Parker.

What about a backpack?

[She nudges Carol.]

Come on, I've clocked simulation hours. Small lap around the compound.

Backpack isn't gonna do well at sonic speeds.

[Smirks and chuckles lightly]

I trust you Danvers.

It was made on Paradise Island. What makes up the plane is far beyond the reach of men.

I used to be part of a crew on a spaceship, you've got nothing to worry about!

[Because being part of a crew on something is totally the same as flying something solo, right?]

Glad someone does. Didn't get a lot of trust when I first landed on this planet.

[That gets her interest]

What kind of materials, then? I wasn't aware that Amazons made it to space.

Difference between a cookie and a pilot.

Hey, I wasn't a cook. I was gathering data.

[Also not a pilot.]

But I've driven a car before. And a desk. It had little wheels and a motor and it worked like a Segway.

[...none of these things are flying any sort of craft.]

How hard could it be?

Friendly aliens is a new concept for us to be honest. Most of them try to kill us.

That'd be a smart decision.

[she's been flying for SHIELD since, well — practically since fury met carol. maybe that's not a coincidence.]
