As Carol Danvers spends more time around Mar-Vell, she begins to experience the early stirrings of attraction. This attraction is rooted not just in his extraordinary abilities or his strong sense of justice, but also in the way he carries himself—with quiet strength, integrity, and a sense of purpose that resonates deeply with her.
### **Emerging Attraction:**
- **Reaction:** Carol finds herself drawn to Mar-Vell in ways that surprise her. Initially, she tries to dismiss these feelings as mere admiration or respect for a fellow soldier, but she soon realizes that there is something more—a personal connection that goes beyond professional respect.

small details about him that she hadn’t paid attention to before—the way he speaks, his sense of calm under pressure, and the occasional softness in his eyes. These moments make her realize that her feelings are evolving beyond simple respect.
### **Internal Conflict:**

### **Circumstances Intervene:**

### **Resolution:**
