(Rouen, France: 12:30 am)

After her another failure in the City of Lights, Elder Carol Danvers returned to the mansion and brought a crate of wine from the Kree-Lizard warehouse where she had taken them. The residents looked at her with a concern which they noticed her son had disappeared two months from the time they had left. Dr. Jusis Vandark and Bladeus both exchanged glances and sadly sighed for they had not seen their tall hooded friend. The other friends like Tahu and Michelle Hellfire, Allen Stroud, Karena Lesproux, Gladius and Aqune Fernal wanted to ask questions of what had transpired in the trip to Paris. Carol refused to answer which she ignored all of them and headed to the other room on the second floor. She instantly sat down and opened her first bottle of wine after taking a glass to pour it.

Those misfortunes that happened in days to months had made her more frustrated and miserable which she just stared at the wall and drank her glass. Remembering the times when her boy, Amnon and then her new friend, Gourai had abducted, she clenched her left fist and emitted a spark from her light soul which she wanted to fight back. It took hours for her to reflect and drink further, until someone had seen her. Gladius and his wife stood at the doorway when they got concerned in their friend's binge drinking.

" Carol what the heck are you doing?! " the purple haired lady raised her voice in shock. " I thought you have stopped drinking?! "

" Why Aqune? I can't break the habit anymore, " the elderly half-Kree angrily replied while holding her wine glass. " I failed once again! "

" Carol, we understood of your failure, but that doesn't mean, you're giving up and sulking! "

" Why don't you two just leave me alone?! You don't understand I'm a total failure! I let your country into ruins. Then, Amnon got abducted! Now, Gourai! Why are you bothering me?! "

" Because we want to help you, " Gladius sternly replied.

" Help?! Really?! " she raised her voice and stood up from her seat. " You guys have helped me before when we had fought those damned creeps in Remnant! Then, I saw your president dying then one of your people found me! Now, you just asked me to leave along with Methu-Selah after all the trouble had gone! "

" Carol, we have already forgiven you for that, " he answered and sighed " Look, we totally understood how terrible it was to see our child in peril. Tizona almost died at an encounter in Alaska some decades ago, but he ended up crippled. Solaris was taken by the same evil legion. We still do not know where she is now. I know you will find your son, Svet or whatever his name you have given to him. "

" Do you even think I could ever find him? After all what happened?! "

Carol instantly burst into tears as Gladius and Aqune felt sorry in seeing her as they approached and hugged her. They realized how painful to experience that kind of tragedy to a family member. Somehow, it took time for them to pacify the half-Kree woman. Suddenly, the older paranormal scientist entered the room and joined them.

" Ms. Danvers, " Vandark calmly spoke. " I'm sorry for what happened to Amnon. Bladeus and I talked earlier which we were both wondering what went wrong in your trip. "

" He's gone, Jusis, " she said and rubbed her eyes with her red sash. " Those evil men took him away two months ago. It's the same thing had happened to my friend, Gourai. "
