Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK II)

Chapter 18

" When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity. "

Carol yawned and covered her mouth, leaning her head on her boyfriend's shoulder. Rhodey blushed and smiled at her as he finished eating his slice of pizza. He took a sip of his soda and watched her falling asleep. The US Air Force Colonel intently read the multiple incident reports from SHIELD and MIB and scrolled every page, deeply becoming intrigued at the dangerous SCP object.

" The Foundation? Who are they? What do they want? " Rhodey thought, crossing his eyebrows and scratching his chin. " Are they even responsible for this horrible lizard's creation and containment?  Are they just like HYDRA, AIM, or perhaps a different organization? I wonder where can I find more information of them aside from my received incident reports? There must be something else. "

Suddenly, his phone began vibrating which he saw a picture of Tony Stark and swiped it. Rhodey stood up from the couch and became annoyed and sighed as this conversation would disturb his girlfriend. He stepped outside the house, picked up the call, and lowly spoke, " Hello? Tony? What the hell are you doing at this time of the night? "

" Just spending the graveyard shift monitoring some stuff, " a snarky male voice answered and chuckled. " Don't tell me you're still house sitting your lovely girlfriend's place! "

" Tony, got any leads about the Foundation? " Rhodey asked. " Carol's old friend, Mar-Vell just spilled the beans about the lizard and that shady organization. "

" I already know that, " Tony replied. " SHIELD interrogated him and his Faunus chum yesterday morning. Got a slight lead from Agent Johnson, but still that wasn't enough. "

" What do you mean? "

" More secretive than the MIB. I tried hacking and penetrating their systems with help of Doc Pyro and Friday just a week ago, but we failed. They have the ability to block any data infiltrators and hackers, like tending to shut you off and release any bugs. "

" Damn..."

" Definitely, spot on, Rhodey, " Tony seriously said. " Dr. P of MIB has also another leads of an ancient Kree hiding on Earth. No one knows where he is right now. "

" Where did he get the sources? "

" He has friends from out of town. Dr. P's lovely blonde Remnite wife knows everything about the Inhumans and the Kree. "

" Right, " he nodded. " Is this ancient Kree working to the Foundation? "

" That seems a mystery, my friend. We don't have an idea who are they. If we encounter them, we can get rid of them for good, including that lizard. "

" Tony, I don't even think we can do that without obtaining information from them, " Rhodey frowned in doubt and reasoned. " Are you even sure we can do that? How are we going to fight that way? "

" Well, we can't trust them. They've just released their damn out of control lizard from nowhere. We need to eliminate it before we take them. "

" Right, " Rhodey nodded no furiously and looked at his sleeping girlfriend. " Now, we have to act immediately. "

" By the way, Friday just detected that anomaly going to Boston from the West Coast. "

" That fast?? "
