Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK II)

Chapter 87

“ The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. ”

- Albert Einstein
 

(MONTMARTRE FAMILY FLAT, AVENGERS COMPOUND, UPSTATE NEW YORK: 12:30 AM)

In the wee hours of the morning, Amnon kept tossing and turning to his bed. He was frowning and moaning which he had seen something in his dream. He instantly opened his eyes and sat up on his bed. The pink Kree was wearing a golden brown shirt and a pair of blue pajamas when he looked at the clock. It was thirty minutes after twelve o'clock. He scratched his chin and deeply thought of what he saw in his dream. Amnon stretched his arms and stood up from his bed as his insomniac moments had just begun.

He silently left his room and watched his steps since he knew his parents were sleeping in the other room. The insomniac Kree headed himself to the kitchen, opened the fridge, looked for some midnight snack, and found sweet and crispy chocolate chip cookies from Elder Hank McCoy. Amnon took two pieces when he was happily chewing and tasting them.

" Not bad for these baked choco chips cookies. I could have asked him for the recipe earlier, " he happily thought and kept eating. " Well, maybe next time if he visits. "

Amnon finished ingesting and returned the cookie jar into the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cow's milk, carefully pouring it into the glass. He drank and emptied it, placing it into the kitchen sink and washed the glass with liquid soap and running water from the faucet. He was done rinsing it and dried it with a paper towel. The pink Kree looked closely at his parents' room and noticed that his mother was peacefully sleeping.

" Dad must be at the rooftop as usual. He's also an insomniac like me, " he thought and placed the glass into the cabinet. " I guess I need to talk to him about the dream I have seen. "

Amnon wore his slippers and carefully closed the flat's door. Walking around the Avengers Compound residential area, he moved his head around and noticed the deep eerie silence on the hallway.

" This place reminds me of the Site 19 Foundation Facility, " he fearfully thought and felt sweat flowing on his forehead. " I hope nobody would notice or hinder me from meeting my father at the rooftop. "

Then, he heard some night duty guards chattering from a distance. On his right, he turned to an elevator and pressed the button going up. The doors were automatically opened when he entered. It took a few minutes for him to get him onto the rooftop and stepped out of the lift. Finally, he saw his ancient blue skinned father levitating in a meditative position.

" Um, Dad. Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, " Amnon tilted his head and meekly called him out.

" Son, you don't need to apologise. I have already sensed and known that you're coming, " he replied and smiled with his eyes closed. " Anyways, how can I help? "

Amnon sat down on the ground avoiding the cold flurry snow and replied, " I just had a dream earlier and saw Kasius spent talking to someone. He brought out a witch as a slave and tortured her. "

" Well, did they saw you in that dream? " Methu-Selah asked.

" No, they didn't. I was invisible or something. I could only hear them, but I couldn't comprehend about what they were talking about. No clue, honestly. I saw the witch was being tortured just like they did to me before, " the pink skinned son sadly sighed. " I wasn't able to save her. "
