====The Marvels====
When a hole is momentarily created through space, Binary comes across a young woman who has crossed through and fallen unconscious. She returns to Earth and has her escorted in the office of Dr. Henry McCoy, where he runs diagnostics on her. Maria watches over the woman's bedside, until she falls asleep.
She is awoken by the woman who addresses her as "mom", and is overcome with emotion upon seeing her. Dr. McCoy enters the office and asks about the condition of the woman, and Binary believes her to be slightly disoriented based on her comments. Dr. McCoy informs the new refugee, that she has crossed through into a parallel reality. Binary questions whether this has evoked any confusion with her, and she informs Henry she'll take charge in terms of the woman's recovery. Henry leaves to update Charles, leaving the two alone. Maria looks at the stranger, and questions who she is.
==Trivia==

The 616, prime MCU version of the character, appeared in the first Captain Marvel film, while another version appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, originating from Earth-838 as that world's version of Captain Marvel.
