Captain Marvel: My Mother (BOOK I)

Chapter 49

" The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice."

  - Benjamin Franklin

(Bad Muskau, Germany)

The Kree Lizard boy spent his two day recovery for his leg injury. The nurses were very kind to him as he treated them with respect and joked. Every time, he got to eat food and spent his days sleeping. After his recovery, he had his physical therapy sessions to exercise his legs to walk without using his vibranium crutches. Gradually, he began to walk around the hospital and looked around the people in every room. He saw sick children to elderly people. He met and talked with them a German interpreter who was also a nurse. In his conversations with the patients, he was careful to talk without mentioning being a clone of 682, for this would cause too much panic and trouble to them. The hybrid boy learned of their stories before and during the invasion, which he got sad to hear them. From then on, he decided to be more productive in his stay in the underground hospital and started to work as a janitor which he was used to do, before.

Several days later, he began to mop the floor on the hallway as Dr. Wynter Baranowski noticed him. It was late evening when he worked. The Remnite-German physician looked concerned at him and put her hands on her waist.

" Svet, " she called his attention. " You have been working so hard at this time. Are you supposed to be resting? "

The boy ceased his work and replied, " Sleep to me is very pointless, sometimes. I'm used to work at night. "

" What do you mean by that? "

" Well, I have nightmares of SCP-682, " he admitted and sighed. " I have been suffering for several years to see such dreadful images. "

" How frequent do you see those? "

" Sometimes at night and there are times they become more frequent. "

" You could have told me several days ago, " Baranowski replied. " We have a psychiatrist on duty who could help you, but you decided to work here. "

" You're right, but I guess work has occupied me these days. "

" Anyway, since you're also part of the Rebel Forces, " she changed her topic. " I just really need your help. "

" What is it? "

" It's my husband, " she anxiously spoke. " Dieter has been missing six days ago. I have no contact with him or his colleagues. "

" So, where did he go? "

" He has gone to Altenberg to fight the enemies in the frontlines. It's been days which he never returned. "

The Kree Lizard boy heard the concern of the female physician's husband. He thought of helping her which he wanted to do so and placed the mop in the storage room.

" Shall we go, Doctor? " he asked and gave her a suggestive look.

" Why? It's too very late, " she raised her voice in worry. " Do you even realize it's dangerous to have night-ops at this moment? "

" You told me your husband is missing, right? We can find him. "

The white haired lady spent thinking as the hybrid was right. She spent minutes walking to and fro as she was too hesitant to join with him. The boy waited for her response and leaned himself on the wall. Finally, she had decided to find her husband and directly looked at him.

" Okay, let's do this just to give me a peace of mind. We can find Dieter alive. "
