Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK II)

Chapter 85

" Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force. "

― Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

(ABOVE SKIES GOING TO UPSTATE NEW YORK: 16:34)

Aboarding on the large passenger aircraft, the rest of the Triskelion residents and some security from the MTF Troopers and the Rebel Forces. Elder Carol Danvers-Montmartre watched her son sleeping peacefully in the cabin area and knew her husband was still talking to anybody inside the plane. She sat beside Amnon who was still resting and covering himself in a blanket and lying on the reclining chair.

Just then, she heard a slight knock on the door and opened, thinking her Kree Eternal spouse would return. It turned out to be another elderly brunette man with a facial hair and a bright bluish arc reactor light on his chest.

" Sorry to disturb your time, Carol, " the former billionaire playboy said. " It's been a while that we haven't talked a lot of things. "

" Tony, can we talk outside? " the elderly half-Kree woman requested. " Amnon is still sleeping. We can't disturb him right now. "

" Sure, that will do. "

Carol stepped out of the room and stood beside her fellow retired Avenger and friend. Elder Tony Stark leaned on the wall and crossed his arms.

" Carol, it's been ages that we never talked of some personal stuff that happened during this prolonged invasion, " he broke his silence.

" Yeah, " she nodded in agreement. " I guess this period has shaken us all for around fifty years. Tell me, did you spend in hiding as well? "

" Yep. I survived this hellhole while hiding in Ohio with my kids. It happened after Pepper got killed by those damned freaks, " Tony sadly spoke and bowed his head.

" Tony, I'm so sorry if I brought this conversation..."

" No, it's fine, Carol. I knew it's painful that you got separated from your dear loved one by death and lost your kid through abduction, " he continued. " I just remembered the day when you lost Rhodey in New York. You were tremendously crying and mourning for his demise. I didn't know what to say at that time. When that happened to my wife, I realised how painful it was to lose a precious loved one. "

" Tony, I understood what you mean. That separation you were talking about was my biggest mistake that I have done, " Carol admitted. " I have sacrificed my motherhood and marriage and exchanged it to become a commander in supporting Remnite forces. "

" You did? " the elderly brunette man raised his voice and asked. " How? "

" I was supposed to be married to Tim and take care of my daughter, Eumeralla. "

" Did Old Methu and Amnon know of this? "

" Yeah, " she nodded. " I had let my daughter meet my son. "

" I'm glad they did get along well. "

" Yeah, it was troubling for Amnon and Ella at first, but that incident made their relationship stronger than ever. "

" I see. "

" How about your kids, Tony? Are they still all right or living? " she asked.

The former billionaire playboy genius and retired Avenger sadly sighed, remembering where and when was the last time he spent his children. The last time he could recall was some decades ago when they decided to fight along with the Rebel Forces in Afghanistan, Russia, Remnant, and Wakanda against the evil Kree and their reptillian allies. He looked at Carol and knew what to say.
