( YEAR 2068 AD: SIX MONTHS AFTER AMNON-SELAH'S ABDUCTION IN PARIS: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 5:30 PM)

A blue skinned Cat Faunus spent drinking tea and inhaling Arabian vaporizer which he sat on his seat in a local pub along with his fellow Kree men with pink skin. The other man beside him was a blonde with a goatee which he had an uncanny resemblance to the late Captain Mar-Vell. The third man in white at the middle was Moragg-Vell. The three men kept conversing at the table while sitting on the floor.

" You know fellas, " Moragg spoke. " I had encountered that Kree-682 guy in Alaska some decades ago. He was dying, so I decided to donate my blood to him. "

" Did it match? " the Kree-Faunus man asked.

" Yeah, it did, " he nodded. " But he spent days resting on his bed. "

" Wait, a sec..." the blonde Kree man held his cup of water while inhaling some steam. " So, you're saying you have met that guy before, Uncle Moragg? "

" Of course, Genny, why did you ask? "

" My mom just told me my dad just spent his last days with that guy in California. " Genis-Vell continued. " We just visited his graveyard at a beach in San Francisco. "

" Oh damn, " Moragg sadly sighed.

" That's exactly where Mar-Vell was buried, " the blue feline added.

" Anyways, that half-Kree and half-indestructible lizard is my uncle who joined my Dad?! Great-uncle Methu, you gotta find and help him out there or else he's in big trouble! "

" That's why I am here, " Methu-Selah spoke and nodded. " I have already predicted his coming, but..."

" But what?! " his companions raised their voices. The patrons looked at them which they heard their loud voices as the Kree men ignored them.

" I hope these humans could listen to me, but they don't want to hear one from me,"   Methu-Selah thought and inhaled his gas.

The bar tender walked over to the three men and plopped a drink of light blue hue tea in front of him. Moragg and Genis-Vell raised their eyebrows and turned to the blue Feline.

" A Kree Eternal guise courtesy of the oddly dressed gentleman at the table over there," he said pointing to a table in the corner. " Odd request, I have not been asked to make it in years."

" Sadik, I'm not the one whom you are referring to! " he laughed and instantly stood up. " I'm just a crazy hybrid lunatic! Nobody wants me anyways! "

The attendant or bartender looked puzzled to the man and scratched his head. Genis and Moragg both snickered and exchanged glances. The man turned to walk away the bartender mumbled frighteningly.

" Strange, how he knew you would be here ahead of time. Said you were two minutes late... weird."

" Look, this is a mistake, " the blue cat turned to the man. " I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong man. Not me! "

The man across the room at the table in the corner chuckled bemused. Genis kept inhaling along with his uncle as they laughed.

" Hey! Go on talk to him! " the blonde Kree beamed.

" Yeah, you can go now! " Moragg added.

" Oh, for Hala's sake! What does he want?! " he anxiously thought and sighed. " I should not reveal myself here! Not now! "

The man got up and walked towards the door as he did. So, he bumped into a patron, enjoying some brew and making her drop her glass shattering it on the floor. Before she could react, the glass reassembled itself as all the brew returned to the glass and hopped back into her hand as the man handed her some money and apologized as he went out the door. The Ethiopian woman angrily mumbled in her language at the man as the blue cat confronted him.

" Would you be careful next time? " he asked and crossed his arms. " The full-blooded Kree and those reptilian men would go after you if you make any trouble! Do you hear me, Sadik?! "

The man chuckled, " I thought it was you. Still using that cover, I see."

" Look, I..." he paused and widened his eyes as he recognized the person. " Timex?! "

Timex gave him a serious look and replied, " Who else, old friend. I knew you would be here if I got the timeline right that is. Tricky business time travel."

" Fifty years..." the man sternly lowered his voice. " Earth has been in chains. I'm using a dead Kree-Faunus body as a cover. His name was Methuselah Belladonna. This host was an unfortunate victim of the Moulin Rouge Mutiny. "

Timex pulled out his pocket watch, " Yes, the time is indeed a dark one in Earth's history. Exactly, this is why I'm here of course. Something called me here. An important nexus with Kree-Lizard genes is nearby in a town and I was going to investigate."

" Tell me, " Methu-Selah nodded.

" It's too early to say for sure. I'm not supposed to be there for three more days and I have a schedule to keep. I just know it involves you before then. Oddly perplexing the rules of time."

The Kree Eternal remembered his prediction which he told his friends and Carol Danvers before he left France two years ago. It gave him a gist of what would happen anytime soon.

" I see, " he snapped his fingers and smiled. " Yes, I will see him. "

Timex shivered getting goosebumps and coughed, " If you are going a word of caution. He is dark in nature that I know."

" So, Nexus in your terms means Kree or part-Kree? Just like me? Am I right? "

" A nexus means an important event,place or person. This one feels like a part-Kree person,but if something was wrong."

" Therefore, a hybrid. " he said. " Care to explain? "

" Yes, " Timex nodded and checked his pocket watch " In about four hours, there is going to be trouble in this area. I do not know his true nature due to some kind of interference around it."

" Somehow, I have predicted that hybrid. In fact, I have seen and kept searching him in years. But something is not right as you also told me. "

" It is almost like he is really confused about what it should be. Strange indeed."

" My son will kill me, " Methu-Selah instantly said.

" One possibility out of infinity. Your odds are good but not perfect."

" But there's a way to help him. "

Timex looked serious, " If this is the timeline I think it is, then yes it should work out."

" Definitely, I will do whatever it takes to bring back his sanity, because Carol and I have plans to save and help him for his future. This is the right time to deal with my son for good. "

Timex put his left hand on his friend's shoulder and moved them 100 feet to the right just as a bar fight broke out near where they once stood. Then, he looked at his watch and nodded, " Yes, by four hours in Danakil."

" I'll see you soon my friend, " he replied. " There is also another family who needs my help in the camp. "

Timex handed him a bronze key, " Yes, you will need this in two hours. Now go! "
