Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK II)

Chapter 45

" In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free. " 

- Abraham Lincoln

(University of Bern Grounds, Bern, Switzerland: 7:00 PM)

The dark, humid, and enclosed environment of the Swiss slave den had made the working crowd sweating and exhausting. The Kree, Lizards, and some cyborgs kept walking and monitoring around the toiling slaves through the whole day. In the hallway, a tall Kree-Lizard hybrid accuser man dressed in a dark battlesuit with bluish-green and silver trimmings. The star of Hala on his chest remained shining which was noticeable on his suit. 

The hybrid looked around the processing area and noticed some slaves chattering around. One of them was German woman named Masha who remembered how notorious Amnon-Selah was. She was glaring at him when Methu-Selah felt uneasy to see her and gave her a wryly smile. The others kept murmuring and worked around to assemble the parts of a Kree machine. 

" Dieser verdächtig aussehende beobachtet uns, (That suspicious looking one is watching us.), " the middle-aged bald Caucasian man lowly spoke and tinkered some metal parts. " Er füttert uns nur in die Kakerlaken, wenn der andere krank wird oder faul ist. ( He'll just feed us into the roaches if the other one gets sick or being lazy.) "

Masha heavily sighed and walked away from her when she sat down farther away. The extraordinary heat from her body tormented her. Feeling nauseous and vomiting, the German-Swiss slave remained silent and began coughing hoarsely. Methu-Selah in his Kree-Lizard hybrid disguise felt sorry for her and heavily sighed.

" If only I could help her get well and free, she won't suffer from this unfavourable condition, " he sadly thought and watched her coughing.

Suddenly, a tall and dark haired wolf Faunus man angrily stormed and glared at her. He kept complaining and glaring at the sickly woman. Her fellow slave who was blue Kree approached and touched her forehead.

" Aber Masha soll meine Schicht machen! Sie sitzt nur und tut nichts! (But Masha is supposed to be taking my shift! She's just sitting and doing nothing!) " the wolf Faunus indignantly spoke and pointed his index finger at her. 

" Reiner, hör auf so hart und idiotisch zu sein! Kannst du nicht mal sehen?! Sie hat Fieber! (Reiner, stop being so harsh and idiot! Can't you even see?! She has a fever!) " the Kree slave lady spoke as she found the male Faunus too ridiculous.

Masha was heavily coughing when the other slaves heard her. The two interdimensional people who became slaves also noticed her. A young blonde man and his scarlet haired wife sadly saw Masha was suddenly out of commission. Then, a pink Kree guard entered the assembly area and sternly glared at the slaves. 

" Arbeit Bauern! (Work peasants!) " he loudly exclaimed, calling everyone's attention. " Ihre Arbeitsbelastung wird endlos sein, wenn Sie untätig bleiben! (Your workload will be unending if you remain idle!) " 

" Hier geht er wieder. (Here he goes again…) "  the Inhuman welder spoke and rolled his eyes with disgust. 

" SCHNELLER! (FASTER!) " 

The rest of the slaves returned to work. Masha looked at the stern pink Kree guards and the hybrid accuser, feeling more terrified than ever. She thought of returning to her position and continued her duty in polishing the metal. Her fellow slave reminded her not to continue. Methu-Selah helplessly kept watching at her who was still coughing.  On the other hand, the two Inhuman couple from another multiverse saw Masha not feeling well and they felt sorry for her.
