Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK I)

Chapter 2

" Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons."

- Napoleon Bonaparte -

The mercenary named Allen Stroud kept his sub-machine gun raised while aiming for the lizard. Still, he halted while looking at Carol and waiting for her signal. The lizard boy remained silent which he couldn't comprehend what was happening. He was just staring at the two persons around him.

" Do you have a name? " the elderly woman curiously asked.

" Well.... Ummmm...." the being took moments for him to gather his thoughts and sadly sighed. ".....They call me 682.... I don't have a real name...."

" Okay, Kid. Next question, do you have a shelter? "

" I just live anywhere else..."

" Do you have a family? "

" I don't have any...."

Allen listened to the conversation which he found it too ridiculous. He held his weapon and waited for them to finish.

" Wait a minute! Do you really trust this thing, Carol?! He's just a piece of monstrous crap! " he loudly laughed while looking at the lizard and the elderly woman. " The 682 I faced was a killing machine that had no remorse for anything. Come on, how could he ever...."

Carol crossed her arms and glared at her companion. Allen nervously smiled and ceased it. The lizard boy never had an idea to say and turned to the old woman.

" For Hala's Sake! Can't you even freakingly see, Lad?! " she raised her voice. " The blue blood tells it! Secondly, he's confused like you are! Oh Cheese Louise, why can't you trade your gas mask to eyeglasses in seeing clearly! "

" Well, you did order me to shoot him. Was that your mistake or mine? " he sarcastically asked. " But the only thing that has blue blood is Kree. I take it? "

" Both. I'm not even sure if Methie will be glad to see this kid, but the evil Kree and the Lizards may turn him into a weapon. "

Allen heavily sighed and brought down his gun. He felt being nagged by his own mother. The elderly blonde woman raised her eyebrows and waited for him to answer.

" Fine then, " he shrugged. " I guess we hide him perhaps away from everyone. Wouldn't that work? "

" Yeah, " she nodded. " It may best to do that. "

" I know a place where we can stay...." the lizard broke his silence and pointed at the direction farther from their point.

" So, how long have you been hiding there? " the agent looked at him after putting his gun down.

" Years...the MTF, the evil Kree, and the Lizards are on the hunt for me....I don't know why humans want to do this..."

" You know, I used to work for a company that would have taken you already and used your DNA to make some other worse things than you, " he said.

" I do have painful memories of my foolishness...but I do apologize for what happened to your people...."

" Kid, it's hard for him to recover, but he'll understand, " she calmly replied.
