" A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory. "

― Mark Twain

(Foundation Facility, Underground Area, Boston, Massachusets11:00 PM)

Just two months ago, Skóuro, Kai, and some people from the MTF had released and awakened from cryosleep for five decades when the Earth continued suffering from the prolonged wrath of the Kree-Lizard invasion. Upon waking up, she couldn't remember anything from the time she helped a young and helpless Kree-SCP 682 hybrid after an highly intensed earthquake occured. When the Foundation officials pulled up the account of that sudden breach, they conditioned her mind to become cold and ruthless in order to comply with Foundation motto: SECURE, CONTAIN, AND PROTECT. Before the invasion happened and putting into the cryosleep, Skóuro and her troops were ordered from the higher ups to chase the hybrid at all costs.

Remaining sleepless this evening and struggling to remember from the past, Skóuro felt haunted by Amnon's words during the encounter as she couldn't contain herself in seeing him suffering, despite remaining heartless. She sled herself on the wall, put herself sitting on the floor, frowned, and silently weeping.

" STOP IT!! SKÓURO, PLEASE STOP THIS!! "

" I... I am not here to fight you! Please stop this! You burned those slaves alive! Please don't do this! I'm begging you! "

" You can't even remember me?! "

" You once told me fifty years ago that you vowed to protect people! You spared my life from that earthquake and helped me escape from that facility! I have followed that promise from you!! For all these years, I helped the slaves escape from those owners and drivers every time I raid the slave den! Now, I have become a slave and got brainwashed as you killed all of them! Tell me, did the Foundation turn you into a ruthless slave killer just like Kasius made me into a mad accuser?! TELL ME!! "

" You can't remember?! Really?! Is that another excuse or divertion to kill me?! Go ahead, kill me! You guys chased me and wanted me dead through all the years that I have been running away and hiding! I dare you all to kill me!! "

" Why?! You labelled me as the indestructible lizard and regarded me as a dangerous marked man! I killed all of those people when Kasius enslaved me as an accuser! Go on, kill me, like you've killed all those slaves! Tell my mother and the Kree Eternal that I sacrificed my life for all of them, it's all because of you!! "

Still having flashbacks of Amnon's bitter discourse lingering in her mind, Skóuro covered her face and wept, feeling something was not right. She could only remember seeing him defending her from the mad blue tyrant and ending up being beaten. This time, the dark angel gently rubbed her eyes and composed herself as she didn't want anybody to see her crying. Just then, she noticed a tall brunette man who was well built. He was walking around the hallway and carrying paperworks with some reports from the MTF Troopers in the span of five decades.

" Hey, Skóuro, you still up at this time? " he called her attention and found her sitting on the floor with her wings folded. " I thought you were still resting in the infirmary? "

" Hey, Kai, " she slightly smiled and greeted him, standing up. " I'd just need a stroll and some fresh air when I woke up. "

" Right, " Kai nodded. " I take it, you got drained in that encounter? "

" Yeah, I just want to refresh my mind after that, " Skóuro said and noticed him holding some paperworks. " Kai, can you tell me what are those? "

" Oh, right! I've been waiting for you to wake up and telling you about some reports for five decades before and during we had gone to that cryosleep. It's all about that asset who escaped from the Site-19 California facility after that earthquake. Buck just gave them to me while you were sleeping. Then, we got other reports of the Kree-Lizard hybrid accuser's murderous raids of slaves in some parts of the globe. "

Skóuro remained speechless and catatonic for a couple of minutes upon hearing someone who had escaped from the Foundation facility. The words from Amnon-Selah were slowly becoming sense to her, but still she was eager to find out. Kai noticed his friend's long silence and curiously tilted his head.

" Earth to Skóuro Valour... " he called her attention. " Are you okay? "

" Oh! " she snapped out and chuckled, hiding her mental struggle. " Nothing, Kai, nothing! I'd just wanted to know what's written there. "

" Yeah, of course, " Kai nodded and showed her the first file. " Okay, this was dated 12-02-2018, two days before the Kree-682 hybrid clone left. He was seen talking and joining with Mar-Vell the street beggar in Los Angeles. "

" Mar-Vell? Who was he? "

" According to the files, he's a former Kree Army soldier and Captain Marvel, " he replied. " The subject remained a month with the Kree homeless man before he died in a natural cause on the streets of San Francisco. The hybrid buried him on a beach. "

" So, he never killed that Kree? "

" Nope. "

" Second encounter: Loki Laufeyson, a god of mischief disguised as an MTF Trooper in Site 19, " Kai continued and scratched his chin, raising his voice in shock. " Wait a sec?! I didn't know that there's an Asgardian within our facility?! "

" Probably, he came here to observe, " Skóuro shrugged. " I didn't know what's his purpose, though. "

" Right, " he nodded and continued. " The subject and the rogue MTF Trooper were last seen in a town near Seattle. " Kai looked upon the numerous pages and said, " Well, there's a lot to learn from our breached asset, he was crossing the border to Vancouver, Canada during the first weeks of the invasion. "

" What was he doing there? "

" Perhaps, he was looking for a temporary hideout from the Kreepers and the Lizards? "

" Did he kill anyone who contacted him like SCP-682 did? "

Kai carefully looked upon the pages and skimmed words and redacted details. He sighed and said, " No records of skirmish made upon his travels and encounters. "

" That's odd. How come? "

" I really don't know, " he answered. " The Foundation files mentioned he met a lot of heroists from his trips. "

" Who were they? "

" Spider-Man aka Peter Parker. Former SHIELD Agents Christopher Knightfall, Jaune and Pyrrha Arc, and the Late Philip Coulson, Gladius and Aqune Fernal, " Kai read the names from the pages. " Those were the people who met in his trips from Canada to Alaska for twenty years. "

" Anything else? "

" He brought us Colonel Yon-Rogg in lieu of him and joined the rebellion against the Kree and the Lizards. "

Skóuro continued listening and began formulating questions to ask her friend and colleague. Kai continued flipping and skimming the pages. He was becoming more intrigued than ever.

" Kai, he may be a clone of SCP-682, " she broke her silence and asked. " Did they even realize he's a threat to humanity? "

" Perhaps, a change of mindset from his experiences which I found it ridiculously unusual from an indestruc clone like him. "

" Right, " Skóuro nodded. " Please continue. "

" The subject made his course to Siberia, Russia with his two mutant accomplices, avoiding any encounters with the MTF and the invaders. They ended up in Moscow, Russia and met a former fighter and Rebel Forces informant, Alexei Shostakov or Red Guardian, " he continued. " After the meeting with Shostakov, the subject had escaped after a group of intruders came into the residence. The subject spent wandering on the streets of Moscow for several days and discovered by a Remnite-Russian couple. He was no where in sight for six months. "

" I wonder what he was doing in Moscow for six months? " she asked.

" Still no further records for his stay in that city, " Kai sighed and flipped another page. " Last seen, November 2043. Mt. Hoverla, Ukraine. The subject encountered SCP-173 and met his untimely demise, but he was revived by a scientist, Dr. Jusis Vandark. After another encounter, he and Vandark had gone all the way from Kiev. They had separated as the subject travelled all the way to Poland and Germany. He avoided the routes going to Latveria and Sokovia aside being spotted by the MTF troopers and invaders and made travelling companions. Thus, he was seen liberating the slaves from the slaves den in two countries. "

" He travelled some parts of Europe? " Skóuro raised her voice to her curiosity.

" Yeah, our troopers called him nicknames: the lizard traveller, European Lizard, and Russian 682. Oh, right! According to the other page, the subject prefers to call by his name, Svet. Aside from fleeing, he was able to make excuses in Russian. "

" Russian? I thought that clone could only speak in English? "

" Possibly, his long stay in Russia made him learn it as his second language, " Kai theorized and continued reading. " The subject, Svet was targeted by the German Foundation troopers in Bad Muskau. Dr. Wynter Knightfall-Baranowski of the German Rebel Forces took him away and found no where in sight. "

" So, he had been in hiding again? " she asked.

" Yep, at those times, he had continued raiding the slave dens as usual. "

" Anything else? "

" Twenty years later, Svet had crossed the French border and rejoined with the Rebel Forces after inspecting an abandoned facility and encountering some allies of the invaders. A fellow lizard hybrid named Jared Coulson had reunited in the forest, " Kai continued reading and commented. " Good thing, he had another pal like him. "

" Still continuing his slave den raiding along with him? "

" Yep, " Kai flipped the files and replied. " There's a lot to read from his ventures in Poland, Germany, and France. "

" Everything he had said earlier was true, " Skóuro deeply thought and looked at the files. " How come I couldn't believe in what he told me?! "

The MTF Elite Commander glanced at her, showed another file, and said, " Skóuro, perhaps you might find this one interesting. "

" What is it, Kai? " the dark angel curiously tilted her head and asked.

" Here. File Date 09-05-2066. Svet the Kree-SCP 682 hybrid met Elder Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel along with two Rebel Forces members at a secluded area in Rouen, France, " he read. " The three were engaged in combat, but Elder Danvers decided not to pursue the attack and brought him away. "

Skóuro continued listening and recalled of Amnon mentioning about his mother. Kai carefully moved another page and read, " File Date 27-05-2068: Paris, France. Svet was abducted by a group of Kree-Lizard troopers as Elder Danvers failed to attack and rescue the abductee. "

" Mother..." the dark angel repeated the word and started to make sense from Amnon's words. " Mother...Mother..."

" Skóuro, you okay? "

" Kai, I clearly remember what the clone had said in New York, " she answered.

" What do you mean? "

" Here are his exact words, " Skóuro answered and quoted from the hybrid. " Go on, kill me, like you've killed all those slaves! Tell my mother and the Kree Eternal that I sacrificed my life for all of them, it's all because of you!! "

" Skóuro, what are you talking about?! " Kai raised his voice and closed the folder, finding his colleague ridiculous. " How can that clone have a mother?! That's impossible! Seriously, we have known him as a carbon copy of that brute! Now, the Kree tyrant made him return as SCP-682! "

" Kai, I may sound crazy, but what if Captain Marvel adopted him as her son for two years, " she theorized and asked. " Is it possible that she took care of him? Why did he mention to me the word mother? Tell me? "

The brunette official deeply sighed and bowed his head, " I really don't know, Skóuro. All I knew is the most recent reports that he killed a lot of people as a Kree accuser like we have expected of him. I still don't understand why. We missed out those years which he had been through. Those reports and files are too perplexing to me. We spent fifty years in sleep and unaware of what had transpired. "

" Kai, I can't even remember everything, but I'm willing to dig deeper about Svet or his real name Amnon-Selah. "

" Wait, he has a Kree name?! "

" I just heard Kasius mentioning his real name this morning, " she answered. " I want to know more about Amnon-Selah through his mother. If you allow me to do this as my mission, perhaps I can convince her to join the fight and bring her son home. "

" But what about your missions with the MTF Troopers? "

" Kai. You, Lord Hood, or Commander Roosevelt should take over while I'm away. Please, I really need to speak to Captain Marvel in France, " she begged and gave him a convincing look.

Kai heavily sighed and held his files, " Alright, you can go. Promise to return safe? "

" I will, " she determinedly smiled.

" By the way, I'm learning to understand that Amnon has been the spark of the revolution for fifty years, " he continued and smiled back. " It's just I need to reconsider the Rebel Forces to join us and end this invasion for good, but I need to find out what made him to be an accuser? Perhaps, you have to gain information. "

" I will do it. Good luck, Kai. "

" Likewise, I'll see you soon in Paris. "

" Paris? Are you sure that's our next mission? "

" Yep, once we will meet the subject and his mother, there. "

(ROUEN, FRANCE: 2:00 PM)

As the MTF aircraft landed, Skòuro signalled her troopers to remain into their positions and walked underneath the trees in the forests. She decided not to fly on her own since the invaders could spot her and saw the way going to the early 20th century mansion. The dark angel noticed there were a lot of people residing in the property. She waited for anyone to let her enter. Suddenly, a long haired elderly mutant man and his dark purple haired wife noticed a charcoal haired lady with wings.

" Gladius, did you know her? " Aqune asked.

" I don't know, dear, " Gladius the long haired one answered and curiously cocked his eyebrows. " I haven't seen her before. "

" I guess she needs something from us. Shall we let her in? "

" Yeah, I think so, " he nodded to his wife and opened the mansion's gate, letting the angel with blackened wings enter.

" Thank you for letting me in, " Skóuro politely said and smiled. " I'm looking for a person named Carol Danvers. Is she here? "

" May I know your name, miss? " Aqune asked.

" Skóuro Valour, General Commander of the Mobile Task Forces. The Foundation. "

Gladius and Aqune heard her and exchanged glances, remembering Amnon had a bad history with them before. The spouses' faces grew serious and thought of not to let the visitor enter. Skóuro became concerned and felt cornered by their stares as she nervously gulped.

" I think we have to make some serious questions before we let you enter this mansion. We have known your ruthless reputation in years, " Gladius sternly replied and crossed his arms. " Besides, the person you have been looking for is busy at the moment. She doesn't allow any outsiders like you to talk. If you guys are gonna raid and kill all the residents, we have the right to kick you out of the property by all means. "

" No, sir. I don't have any intentions to hurt you, " Skóuro nervously chuckled. " Besides, this is really an important matter. This is about her son. Perhaps, she can help me join this fight against the invaders and bring him home to her. "

Aqune widened her eyes and looked at her husband, " Gladius! She can help Carol to bring home Amnon. I know this is odd, but maybe this is the right person to connect to her. "

" Aqune, Upon hearing about Amnon's story about his tormented life in that Foundation facility, how can she be trusted? Maybe, she's one of his abusers! I don't think she can bring any good here! "

" Maybe, she's changed and willing to help Carol. "

" No, I don't think so. "

Skóuro heard the arguments from the spouses and bowed her head in shame. Still, she had no memory of Amnon being physically abused in that area and waited for them to finish their discourse.

" I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but this is really important, " she broke her silence. " It doesn't matter if I waste my time here. Please let me meet her. "

The two ceased their disagreement and caught their attention. They let her enter as Skóuro smiled at them.

" We're sorry for that inconvenience, but you can come in and wait for her in the garden area, " Aqune politely replied and smiled. " How rude of us, I'm Aqune Fernal and this is my husband Gladius. It's nice to meet you. "

" We hope you'll never harm us, understand? " Gladius added and glared at the visitor in suspicion.

" Sure, I will, " Skóuro nodded. " Thank you. "

As the spouses welcomed and aided the dark angel visitor, she found the garden area and some table and a set of wooden chairs. Skóuro looked at the garden in awe and noticed the residents in mixed races. She sighed and took her seat, waiting for her person of interest. Just then, an elderly woman with curly blonde locks crossed her arms and gave her a death glare. She was wearing a long sleeved red shirt with dark trimmings and a golden yellow star at her chest area. She had a red scarf around her neck and a long dark skirt. Skóuro managed to smile at the old woman and thought in what to say to her.

" Well, I didn't expect to see someone from the Foundation, " the old woman seriously spoke.

" Captain Marvel, I mean Carol Danvers, " the dark angel calmly replied and offered a handshake. " It's an honor to meet you in person. I'm Skóuro Valour, by the way. "

" I already know you in the first place, " Carol said emotionlessly. " My son had mentioned you to me from his stories. What brings you here? "

" I'm here to talk, Carol, " Skóuro simply replied. " I really need your help in sparing your son's life. Perhaps, you can join with us in the fight against the invaders and rescue your son from them. Please, he needs you. "

" I attempted to rescue him in New York, but Kasius had manipulated him, " the elderly half-Kree explained. " I failed in bringing him home. "

" Perhaps, there's a second chance for you to join us. You still have time to fight and work with us. That's the only way to save your son from them. "

Carol became heartless and unconvincing at her visitor as she heard the dark angel's plea. Then, she indignantly responded, " Do you even realize I'm too old for joining this damn nonsense? Did you really understand what you're talking about?! My reputation was ruined when I lead the resistance in Remnant around fifty years ago?! What else?! Before this damn invasion happened, all of you made a load of trouble! The Foundation is known for killing and stopping everyone! "

" But Carol..."

" I have enough! Then, you let my son getting abused and tormented all these years! Do you even people care?! " she heatedly growled. " You're asking me to join all of you after all you've done! "
