" If you can't fly, then run, if you can't walk run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving. "

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

(Bilibino Power Plant Facility, Russia, 9:30 PM)

" Good question, " the Kree Eternal nodded and took the map of Russia as the two mutants closely looked at it. " You are currently positioned in Bilibino. So, you move to Kolyma-Anadyr Highway connecting to the Trans-Siberian Highway all the way going to Moscow. Please follow the trails of the Siberian nomads or the Rebel Forces. They will guide you on your trip. Thirdly, avoid the Trans-Siberian Railway, the enemies took over the railroads for transporting the slaves to Moscow and St. Petersburg slave den. "

" Oh, I get it! " Bombos snapped his fingers and grinned.

" How long are we travelling by foot? " Nukeo asked.

" It will take weeks to years, since you're not using any automobile. Expect stopovers from any hideouts which your guides will assist you. For me, I can fly within seconds to hours in long distances. "

" Right, " the Japanese mutant nodded. " Then, we get to Moscow, how are we going to France? "

" It would be possible if the three of you would hide within the crates on a cargo plane at an airport. It would also apply when you take the cross-border railroad trip going to some parts of Europe. "

" I think it would be safer if we follow some people along the way, " Bombos suggested and shrugged. " They can help us going to France. No matter what how long the journey is, we are willing to take the risk to keep your boy safe. "

" But we are not fluent in communicating Russian or any language, Bombos-san. How is that possible? "

" We have the guts to learn and experience new horizons, my friend! It's about time to face more fun and adventure, you know! We have been in this place for a long damn time! We need excitement. What can you say? "

" Right, let's do this, " Nukeo smiled and nodded. Then he turned to the Kree Eternal, " We really appreciate your help, but we hope you can be with us and get to know more about your son. You know, intimate father-son moments along the way? "

" It's all right, " the Kree Eternal smiled and returned the map to the Japanese mutant. " Only time will tell when me and him reunite. "

" May we know your name, senpai? "

" I'm Methu-Selah, former captain of the Kree Imperial Army that lives more than a thousand Earth years, " he politely said. " Your names as well? "

" My name is Nukeo and this is my friend, Bombos. "

" Nice to meet, you Captain! " the Egyptian gave the Kree Eternal a friendly handshake.

" So, are you going with us, Captain? " the Japanese mutant asked.

" No, I'm sensing danger in Bolivia, " Methu-Selah replied and began to ascend over the ground. " I'd better leave before anything happens. "

" Until, then! Captain, see you soon! " Bombos waved his right hand at him.

 (Several Years Later: Rouen, France: 11:00 PM)

" So, after that sudden disappearance, you made new friends in Russia? Am I right? " the elderly half-Kree woman asked.

" Yes, " the boy nodded. " I thought I was supposed to return to Alaska, but something came up. "

" What do you mean by then? "

" My two friends decided to be on a journey with me to France, as I was finding where the Kree Eternal was."

" Okay, " Carol understood and looked intently at her son. " You have told me earlier about your mutant friends saw the Kree Eternal healing you, while you were sleeping. Were you even aware he was there to save your life? "

" I don't know, " the Kree-Lizard heavily sighed and answered. " I never realized he was beside me all along. I woke up when it was already morning when Bombos and Nukeo told me about going to Moscow, but they told me the Kree Eternal appeared when I was sleeping. "

Elder Carol Danvers smiled at her son and gently rubbed his back while he was sitting. The boy smiled back and wondered as he was about to say something to her. She hugged her son as she was pleased.

" Mom, what's wrong? " he curiously asked. " Why are you smiling at me like that? "

" Kid, it's just I'm happy and got surprised to hear and read stories from you. The first time I met you in the forest, you were afraid to confront anyone and too depressive. But now, you're more expressive and thoughtful than before. I'm really glad to see your changes. Sometimes, you surprise me. Anyways, I hope you will be able to meet the one whom you're looking for and getting healed from that bondage of yours. "

" Surely, you're going to see and hear more, " he answered with a smile and moved the pages of his journal as Carol noticed his writings were in Russian Cyrillic. She remained speechless and in shock in what she saw. " Mother? "

" Kid, how did you learn Russian? " she queried.

" Oh, that! " the hybrid boy chuckled and let her read his written journal. " I heard simple words and phrases from the nomads while me and my friends were on a journey to Moscow. Then, sometime, Old Smolder Ryliea taught me how to read, write, and speak the language. "

" Kid, I thought you only knew English and French which Karena and I have taught you. How come?! "

" Living in the Motherland for some years had given me to become a Russian. It made me forget as a 682 clone. "

" Now, can you speak a word or a sentence? " Carol intently smiled and poked the boy's shoulder. " It's a challenge, Kid. I can understand and reply in the same language! You can tell your story! "

" YA vspomnil te dni v Moskve, kogda ya vernul svoyu staruyu zhizn' ulichnomu nishchemu. (I remembered those days in Moscow when I returned my old life as a street beggar.) " the Kree-Lizard boy responded.

" Deystvitel'no, kak poluchilos'? (Really, how come?) "

" Pozvol'te mne rasskazat' vam istoriyu. (Let me tell you a story.) " 

(SEVERAL YEARS AGO: ON THE WAY TO MOSCOW, RUSSIA)

The three travellers made their way from Kolyma-Anadyr Highway to Trans-Siberian Highway and endured the long journey despite of anything. For five years, the Kree-Lizard boy and his two mutant friends followed the instructions from the Kree Eternal which they joined the trail of the Siberian nomads called the Nenets along the way. They were good people who guided them where to go or to stay and working along with them in their daily lives. The three helped the tribe in hunting for food and sacrifice in order for them to survive. Bombos and Nukeo were used their powers to trap the animal and kill it. One of the Nenets observed their work and got pleased to see it.

The hybrid boy learned how to tend some reindeer herd and take care of the sled dogs which at first the animals were afraid of his monstrous appearance. But he never gave up in trying, as he saved a black and white Siberian Husky by being attacked by wolves. From then on, him and that dog became friends. Bombos and Nukeo were happy for him that the boy also cared for animals aside from people. The two mutants also helped him tending the reindeer and dogs.

Days turned to months which they became very helpful working along with them. The Kree-Lizard boy was pleased for their warm generosity and acceptance, however he was heartbroken to see a whole family which he truly desired in his life aside from his goals. His two mutant friends understood and assured him that he would find his true happiness in the right time. 

Moving to the West Siberian Plain, they spent another four seasons in travelling along with the Nenets until reaching the Ural Mountains. Nukeo and the hybrid boy were both afraid of climbing such high and dangerous mountain range. But for Bombos, he was daring and enthusiastic to do it. The tribal leader and his translator warned them in hiking on the mountains. They believed there were evil and naughty spirits which would lead them to accident and death. With the help of the shaman, the three of them were being prayed and received a sacrificial offering to summon the good spirits for their safe journey to Moscow by crossing the Ural Mountains. 

They kept hiking down for days until they reached to the other end of the mountain range. They ended up on a road going to Perm where they were waiting for a vehicle to hitchhike. The three travellers looked exhausted after climbing the Ural, until they found a truck of pigs which they took a ride for the meantime. Nukeo and the hybrid covered their noses and mouths. The two couldn't stand smelling and inhaling such methane gas from swine. For Bombos, he didn't seem to care at all. They ended up on the streets of Perm where the truck stopped at a butchery. The three thanked the driver and headed their way to find some means of transportation going to Moscow.

But looking around the city, it was inhabited by slaves working for the Kree and Lizards. They saw some people busied themselves carrying a load of wheat and rice. Their blue skinned handlers kept an eye on them. The three also witnessed a human woman being traded a prostitute for the Kree overlords on the other side of the street. She was taken away by the blue men as the other women waited for their clients. The boy and his friends felt sad for the people which they never expected a city was polluted by such evil and bigotry. 

Avoiding any conflict from the enemies, Nukeo and his friends headed to another place where they saw three empty cargo crates which the human slaves would transport them to the Russian capital. The three boys took each of the crates and hid. Darkness helped them to hide, but they never realized they were being put inside the truck as it moved away. The vehicle went its way to Vladimir Highway or Vladimirka which the locals called it. The trip took more than a day to pass some nearby cities and towns. Inside the truck, the three spent themselves talking and joking inside the crates.

" Hey, guys, I'm thirsty! " Bombos echoed. " I can't stand without drinking vodka! "

" Get used to it, Bombos-san, " his Japanese friend replied. " This trip is a big sacrifice for you! Glad you quit drinking for five years! "

" You asked us to climb the mountain a week ago, " the hybrid added and laughed. " I think that's enough for you! "

" Oh, come on!! "

" At least, we have a long and safe journey together, " Nukeo spoke. " I hope we can be like this way when end up in France. "

" But where exactly, Nukeo-san? "

" I hope we can be in Paris or near to the City of Lights, " he smiled in reply. " As for you comrade, you might meet the Kree Eternal. "

" Really? " the Kree-Lizard boy raised his voice.

" It depends, " Nukeo answered. " But for now, we are living the life of wandering Cossacks. "

" What is a Cossack? "

" People who make Russia great in human history, " Bombos answered and suggested. " Before we go to France, why not make a stopover stroll to the city. We will visit the historical attractions like the Kremlin, the famous St. Basil's church, and that famous hotel, eh? "

" Good idea, " his fellow mutant spoke. " But one of the Nenets told us we might still see them, but our enemies took them over. "

" It's just a wishful thinking, Nukeo-san. Perhaps, our friend will be seeing some interesting sights in the city. Maybe in the future, he wants to be a Russian Lizard-hybrid man to be the next Vladimir Putin or Joseph Stalin! "

" What?! " the boy exclaimed.

" He is just kidding, my friend! "

" Yeah! "

Their laughter echoed inside the truck as the driver ignored them. It made its way to the outskirts of Moscow when the sun rose in the bright yellow sky. The three travellers were still unaware of their next destination.

" Honestly, I don't know where are we now, " the Kree-Lizard boy spoke. " It's been five years we have been travelling around Russia. At first, I thought you guys were supposed to take me back to Alaska, but we ended up somewhere else. "

" Well, the Kree Eternal advised us to travel around Europe with you, " the Egyptian replied. " If you have friends back there, you might see them along the way. Besides, it's a small world after all! "

" Is that a song or what?! " Nukeo curiously raised his tone.

" Oh, come on! I was just saying! "

They kept laughing as they were on their way to streets, crossing a bridge over Moscow river. The truck stopped on Arbat street where the driver left his seat and went outside. He opened the door from the back of the truck and asked the other men to release the goods. The three large crates were still there as they couldn't carry it. The men were very curious and exchanged glances. They thought of opening it, but the Kree-hybrid man asked them not to open it and leave them there. The cargo men followed his fellow's instruction as they left. Finally, the three travellers opened the covering as they slowly rose and left them. They stood up and walked along the street as they got bewildered to see the trees and 19th or 20th century buildings.

" Where are we? " Nukeo curiously asked.

" I don't know, " the Kree-Lizard boy replied and kept his head moving around in sideways.

" Arbat Street....Arbat Street...." Bombos read the street sign in English, snapped his fingers, and joyfully exclaimed. " Aha! Welcome to Moscow, Russia, my friends! We did it! We did it! For glorious five years, without being chased and hunted, we are here! WE ARE HERE!! "

" Where?! " his friends raised his voice and scratched their heads.

" We have made it here in Moscow, Russia! " he loudly laughed and cheered. " Oh, Great Ra! We have successfully reached the stronghold of the Russians! "

Nukeo and the Kree-Lizard hybrid exchanged glances and smiled as they jumped for joy. The three travellers made a group hug, still jumping. The locals and the crowd from different alien races turned their attention and murmured which they found them too childish and awkward. They ignored them as they were all happy they have made their way to their destination. 

" Now, we're in Moscow, " the Kree-Lizard boy broke his silence and asked. " Where are we going for the meantime? "

" Eh, I don't know..." Bombos wryly smiled and chuckled. " I just forgot where to go because of this enduring trip..."

" Bombos-san, we're going to find a terminus leaving to Paris, France, " Nukeo reminded and shrugged. " I'm not sure if we are going there right now or maybe later. But we have don't have the money to spend and remain here. "

" Perhaps, I can help you, boys..." a male voice with a thick accent called their attention as the three looked at an elderly bearded and muscular man dressed in a fur coat and a hat, as his red suit was found underneath the coat. His shield was found at the back as he was grinning to the newcomers.

" You must be? " the hybrid asked.

" Alexi Shostakov, formerly known as the Red Guardian. I have just eavesdropped at your conversation, " the man answered. " I think you travelling Cossacks need a guide. "

" But we don't have money, Shostakov-san, " Nukeo replied. " We have just come all the way from Siberia..."

" Hah! I help poor people, too. Don't worry, it's free of charge, " Shostakov grinned. " But for the blue men and the other freaks, I charge them at a sky high price. I don't care if they bargain me for a cheaper price. I insist them to pay me at the right price, if not I instantly kill them. I make money from my business and they invade our planet just to be fair. "

" I really like your thinking, Red Guardian or should I say Mr.Shostakov..." Bombos laughed.

" Just call me, Alexi. Ask me anything, boys. I will answer and guide you. "

" Are you part of the Rebel forces? " the Kree-Lizard asked.

" Of course, " Alexi proudly scoffed. " I'm still working for Bav-Tek's faction. My years as a KGB agent had paid off before those freaks came. Just to keep in mind, I'm a mercenary, tour-guide, info-broker, and a thief at this period. I can be paid or for free. "

" You make income from your job, despite of this problematic period, " Nukeo commented.

" Money is what makes the whole universe go around, my comrades. That's another reason why the Kree-Lizard legion gets everything: intergalactic money, slavery, and more power for their conquest. We, humans and other people need to get even! We should be greedier than those alien freaks! "

" Well, Alexi..." the Kree-Lizard spoke. " I used to be a member of the Rebel Forces in America, but before that I was a street beggar. "

" So, the SCP-682 clone is a money maker, too! Good work, my fellow rebel! I really like you! " Alexi tightly hugged the boy as he got surprised.

" How did you know?! "

" I heard rumors from the MTF in America, a boy escaped from a containment cell after an earthquake. Those men have been searching for you, but you decided to join our cause. I am so proud  you're not that despicable one! "

" You're right, that's me! "

" Anyway, come with me. We will have a talk and drink a shot of vodka in my place, " the elder said. " But for now, I am taking you to those places for free, just avoid the Kremlin area or anywhere that has Kree and Lizards. "

" Why? " Bombos asked. " We can make them boom, right? "

" No, they always start the trouble if you do nothing, " Alexi sternly answered as his companions saw and heard a fight from a distance.

" They are very illogical, " Nukeo sighed.

" Indeed, they are. "

" What else we have to avoid? " the Egyptian asked.

" Orthodox Churches, Government Buildings, Ostankino Tower. "

" Why? "

" They are all occupied by those freaks. You cannot enter there unless you have an official business with them or being taken as a slave or a prostitute. "

" If not? " Nukeo asked.

" Intruders shall end up in a pool of blood, " Alexi answered and warned. " Some tourists want to get here, but they never listened to me. They all ended up enslaved and died. I don't want to let you experience that kind of problem, anymore. If you want to go around the city. I can take you to the safe zones. But if anything escalates. I am willing to help you. "

" Thank you, " the Kree-Lizard nodded.

(PODOLSKY DISTRICT, MOSCOW, RUSSIA, 6:00 PM)

After visiting the safe zones of the city, Alexi invited the travellers as his guests for dinner into his house where the neighboring abandoned residential buildings were located. They ate and talked of their lives before the invasion. Also, the Russian rebel and the Egyptian mutant exchanged jokes as they loudly laughed at them.

" So, what's your plan after this? " he asked.

" We are going to Paris, France, comrade, " Bombos answered. " But since you have told us to avoid Kree-Lizard zones in the city, do you have an idea how to get there? "

" How did you three get here in the first place? "

" By truck, " the hybrid boy answered. " We hid inside the crates. "

" Okay, I think you can do that as well as you get into the airport, but it's not safe to leave in the evening. "

" Right, " Nukeo nodded and understood what the elder meant.

" For now, you can stay at my place and...."

" ALEKSI, OTKRYT'! VY NAPISALI NAM! (ALEXI, OPEN-UP! YOU HAVE TRICKED US!) " a woman's voice yelled and kept rapping at the door.

" Oh, no..." the elder anxiously muttered.

" Did you know her? " Bombos asked.

" Solaris Shadowsong-Volkova. She paid me one hundred fifty thousand Euros to give her to the sources of the Kree Technology armaments, but I gave her the wrong place."

" When did you deal with her? "

" Three weeks ago. "

" Do you still have the money? " Nukeo asked.

" No, I donated it to the Nenets in Siberia. "

The three exchanged glances as they understood why he scammed someone else in order to help the nomads regain their lives. The woman from the door kept rapping loudly as Nukeo, Bombos, and Alexi were ready to fight. The hybrid boy took a broomstick to defend himself from any intruders.

" ALEKSI, VY Moshennik! OTKRYT'! YA NUZHEN SVOIMI DEN'GAMI! (ALEXI, YOU SCAMMER! OPEN UP! I NEED MY MONEY BACK! ) " Solaris angrily yelled.

" Alexi, we have to do something, here! " the Kree-Lizard hybrid anxiously spoke.

" I know...I know...I'm thinking of a plan! " the elder replied.

" What plan? " Nukeo asked.

" Here's the plan, " he answered. " You two are mutants right? We can bring this escalation outside my house, but I'm warning you. Do not explode my house! "'

" Then, we boom them, " Bombos grinned.

" Da. "

" Afterwards? "

" We will go to Sheremetyevo-2. I will find a plane to fly to Paris. "

" Are you sure you can fly a plane, Alexi-san? " the Japanese asked and raised his eyebrows in doubt.

" Of course! As Red Guardian and a former KGB Agent/Pilot, I had flown a helicopter and a jetplane! "

" If it fails? " Bombos added.

" I will recruit you as members of the Rebel Forces in Russia as my payment! Okay?! "

" ETO ETO, ALEKSI! Moi min'ony-yashcheritsy ub'yut tebya za dobro! (THIS IS IT, ALEXI! MY LIZARD MINIONS WILL KILL YOU FOR GOOD!) "

The four of them had no choice, but they had to confront the intruders. The door was pushed down by another seven-foot lizard. A green haired woman indignantly looked at the old man in red. The other two were ready to fight, but the Kree-Lizard nervously gulped and took a deep breath while holding a broomstick.

 " Smotri, den'gi ushli, Solaris. Vam uzhe zaplatili. (Look, Solaris. The money is gone. You're already paid.) " Alexi reasoned out.

" Vy dali mne takuyu ​​nevernuyu informatsiyu! Vy otpravili menya v Saratov, a ne v Volgograd! Verni mne moi den'gi, staraya mraz'! (You have given me such wrong information! You sent me to Saratov, instead of going to Volgograd! Give me back my money, you old scum!) " Solaris harshly yelled.

" YA, staryy podonok ?! V samom dele? (Me, old scum?! Really?) " the elder laughed and released his shield. " YA prosto delayu, chtoby otomstit' za svoikh lyudey, kotorykh ty zabral! Vashi malen'kiye raboty stoili mnogo zhizney, vklyuchaya den'gi! (I'm just doing to avenge my people you have taken away! Your puny works cost a lot of lives including money!) "

" Then, you have brought some weaklings along with you, " she spoke in English, turning to the two mutants and the hybrid boy. " That 682 clone is supposed to be dead on my watch! "

" Heh! Weaklings! " Bombos scoffed and took a piece of wood. " I might give you an exploding night! Just stay away from the old man and the boy! "

" Lizards, get them! "

The reptilians surrounded the four of them as they tackled them down. Nukeo blasted the other wave and sent them flying. The Egyptian man ran away from the outside as his attackers chased him. Solaris watched the scene and then instantly left when she noticed an explosion happened on the streets. Bombos was about to chase her, but another lizard had tackled him. Suddenly, a red shield was being thrown when Alexi did it. The opponent got struck down, as the elder helped him stand-up.

" Thanks, " he smiled.

" You're welcome, " Alexi smiled back.

The two returned to the house as they saw Nukeo and the hybrid boy got beaten up by another wave of lizards. Alexi and Bombos had their chance to save their friends. The elderly man pushed them outside as the mutant threw a rock and sent them exploding. Nukeo was able to fight back and blasting the intruders away. The Kree-Lizard boy was standing-up and thinking of helping the other three.

" Guys, let me join you! " he cried.

" Don't fight, comrade! Run! " Bombos exclaimed.

" But..."

" We can handle this by ourselves! " Alexi added. " Now, go! "

" I can't leave you! "

" It's alright! " Nukeo smiled and kept blasting. " We will see each other, soon! "

 The Kree-Lizard hybrid sighed and nodded as he had no choice but to run away and avoid any further trouble like what Skouro and Mar-Vell had told him before. He fled to the streets of Moscow without anything. This time, he was lost and confused. Silence with a hint of danger would come to him anytime soon. 

(ONE WEEK LATER: SRETENKA STREET, MESHCHANSKY DISTRICT, MOSCOW, 6:30 PM)

The Kree-Lizard boy ended up roaming around the streets and begging for food and money just like what he did back in Los Angeles and San Francisco some years ago. This time, he was having a language barrier which he only could speak few Russian words from what he learned from the Nenet tribe and couldn't understand them fully. There were times the street working slaves loudly laughed at him as he got embarrassed and shunned away from them.

There was a time that some people threw rocks and some empty cans which they thought of him as evil 682. The boy was only eating left-over food from the Kree. His eyes watered as he never wanted to fight back or defend himself. Instead, the boy instantly ran away and found a refuge in the alley. It took him days not to eat or drink which he became weaker than ever.

That evening, the cold winter breeze from the Atlantic and Arctic visited the city with some snowfall. The boy was curling-up while sitting. He embraced his whole body and began to feel shivering. He noticed his tail was covered with snowsheet. His tunic couldn't cover him with the extreme cold he was experiencing. Suddenly, the boy's stomach began grumbling and aching. He had never eaten for a week, since no one tried to give him food.

Just in front of him, there was a generous blue-skinned man with a dark hair and a beard. He was wearing a brown fur-coat and a green scarf wrapped around his neck. The Kree was holding a basket of bread and fruits for the boy.

" Hey, are you okay? " the man asked.

" Aren't you supposed to be scared of me? Everyone here thinks I'm a monster that kills people, " the hybrid sadly replied.

" No, I am not, " he chuckled. " You seem hungry, my child. I have been seeing you on the streets, recently. "

" Child?! Why are you calling me that? "

" You reminded me of the Kree boys in my planet, " the blue man gave him the basket. " Here you go, have something to eat. "

The boy widened his eyes in shock to see food. He was in tears when he began to eat. Finally, he was experiencing tears of joy while tasting and chewing some piece of bread.

" Why are you so kind to me? "

" My child, I can sense prolonged sadness from your eyes. It is very unending, " he answered and looked intently at the boy's green humanoid eyes. " Wait...you have the same eye color of my friend has. "

" Your friend? "

" Yes, I will meet him somewhere else. Maybe, you want to come with me and meet him. "

" Thank you. I'm okay with this food you have given to me. I guess he'll get scared when he sees me. "

" No, he's not, " the man replied and crossed his arms. " He is looking for his son for a long time. Maybe, you can help me. "

" I'm not so sure, if I can do that. "

" It's all right. If you find him, just tell me. We can meet here in this alley. "

" I'm not so sure, but I'll try. Thanks for the food. Please tell your friend to say, " Hi! " "

" Of course, " the Kree smiled. " Child, what's your name? "

" I don't have a name, " the boy sadly replied after eating. " But I'll see you soon or maybe..."

" We will..."

(Several Years Later: Rouen, France: 12:10 AM)

" That was a long journey you got there, Kid, " Carol smiled and saw her son yawning like a lion. " You surely have met a lot of people. "

" It was worth it, but I never saw my friends again, " the boy replied. " But that stranger kept me thinking. I tried to ignore him, but I was very hungry. I never resisted his offer to let me eat. I wondered about his friend's son. Was he able to find him? "

Carol remained speechless as she couldn't answer her son's question. Could he be the Kree Eternal's missing son for years? The elderly blonde woman wanted to disclose the truth to him, but it wasn't the right moment. The hybrid noticed her silence as he gently poked her shoulder.

" Mom?! " he called her attention. " Hey! "

" Oh...right! " she nervously chuckled. " So, what about it? "

" If you meet that man's missing son, will you help him reunite? "

" Well, as long as I can, Kid. I'll do my very best to find him and let him meet his father. I hope they will be all happy and good together. How about you? Are you still on a search for the Kree Eternal? "

" I'm still finding him. If I meet him, I could get healed and ask for help..." the boy yawned and dozed off to sleep. " Goodnight, Mom. "

" Sweet dreams, " she smiled and kissed his forehead. " You're getting closer, Kid. You will meet your father soon. Just hang-in there, he'll help you. "
