" Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. "

- Ecclesiastes 4:9, Romans 12:10


(THE NEXT DAY: ROUEN, FRANCE, 5:30 PM)

Leaving the Quinjet and waving goodbye to the pilots, the Methu-Selah and his family had reached the old mansion where Amnon and Carol resided for two years. The planted trees and vegetables grew. They saw a few groups of people who brought their children inside. Some had finished washing their clothes for they had seen the sun setting down from the horizon.

Entering the mansion, Amnon recognized the other elderly couple who helped the residents. A long haired mutant wearing a leather brown jacket talked to a bald elderly man. Just beside him was his dark haired woman with a bun. On the other side of the room, there was another elderly man with glasses holding a bowl of salad along with his blonde companion with six horns on her head. Seeing the same people living in the mansion, Amnon widened his eyes to his amazement and realized that his old friends were still alive despite his absence for nearly a year.

His father sensed his son's mind, looked at him, and asked, " Amnon, do you feel nostalgic? "

" Master, what do you mean by that? " the young pink Kree replied.

" You're recognizing and remembering these people in this place, just like you have encountered the others back in Brussels. "

" Oh, right. "

" Well, why not try approaching and chatting with them? " Carol suggested.

" Mom, I don't think they can hardly recognize me, " Amnon nervously chuckled.

" Nonsense! " she laughed. " We have already told them what you are now when you're away. "

Amnon raised his eyebrows in disbelief at his mother and father and wryly grinned, " You guys gotta be kidding me. Are you really sure?! "

" Of course, my boy! " Methu-Selah gently slapped his son's back and chuckled. " Come on, you try to approach them! "

" But master..."

" Don't be shy, come on..."

Amnon took a deep breath and composed his thoughts before approaching his old friends. Methu-Selah and Carol gave him an assuring look to pacify his sudden hesitation. The young pink Kree man waited for their attention when the long haired Remnite mutant finished talking and turned his sight to the newcomers.

" Wait, is that?! " he gasped to his surprise.

" Gladius, it's him! He's with Carol and Methu! " his wife joyfully exclaimed. " It's him! "

" Woah, woah, Aqune, slow down! We haven't met this young man before, " Gladius interjected and looked at Amnon in suspicion. " We're not even sure if..."

" Gladius, you dummy! It's Methu and Carol's boy! He's here, the one you met back in Alaska! Oh, can't you even remember what we had talked about several months ago?! "

" Wait, what?! " the Remnite mutant began to remember the conversation, intently glared at the blond visitor, and then to his parents. " Those eyes look familiar! They remind me of that hybrid and the Kree Eternal Methu-Selah! Wait, no tail, scales, scars,or spikes? But you have inherited Old Methu's appearance and physique. The blonde hair and the smile, you have got that from Captain Marvel herself! "
