Owner's Description

Synopsis: “Superguardian”

Outer space, a while back; a fight involving a male Smasher. He gets killed and a fragment of his goggles is broken off. The goggles are organic and so the fragment grows into a fresh pair of goggles, which are (somehow) found by a young lady (Izzy) on a farm in Iowa. She lives there looking after her father and elderly grandfather; the latter thinks she should leave them to get her freedom back, studying astronomy and "space stuff" like she did before her mother died. That night, whilst looking at the stars through her telescope, the goggles talk to Izzy and tell her to put them on. She does and transforms into Smasher, shooting off into space (much to the joy of her grandfather looking out of the window). She travels through a Stargate (Spoiler those hoping for a Kurt Russell/Richard Dean Anderson cameo will be disappointed) to the Shi'ar homeworld. There she is told that she is a subguardian, one rank behind the top of the Imperial Guard - the Superguardians.

Skip ahead to today; the Shi'ar are under attack and have sent out a distress call, so Smasher turns up with some Avenger reinforcements. Long story short, the Avengers win the battle and Smasher gets upgraded to a Superguardian. Captain America says her grandfather would be proud. In a flashback we find out that her grandfather was friends with Steve Rogers and helped Izzy get her spot on the Avengers.

In other news, Tony Stark has been working on a translator program for Adam (whose name is now Blackveil) as he is still talking in Builder's code and we later find out that the Shi'ar's enemy weren't actually invading but were running from someone...
