"You look nervous, Dr. Henry."
Smiling at the other party, Peter said in a relaxed tone: "We are just talking about family and children. There is no need to be so nervous, Dr. Henry."
Looking at Peter's sincere eyes, Henry was a little confused.
He didn't know whether the other party had really discovered his secret, or whether what he had just said had no other meaning and was just his unnecessary association.
"Yes, I have always wanted to visit you, Mr. Patrick, but I have never found a good opportunity."
Henry adjusted his mood and spoke to Peter in a reserved tone.
"I am looking forward."
Peter said and looked towards Courtney, "Courtney, your mother was looking for you just now."
"Oh, thank you!"
After hearing Peter asking her to leave, Courtney gave Peter a grateful smile, looked deeply at the brain waves, and then turned and left.
After leaving the corridor, Courtney walked quickly towards the auditorium.
She wanted to tell Pat about this immediately, but when she thought of the threat posed by brain waves to her, she began to hesitate.
What if the other party knew that I had really told Pat and he attacked his mother?That guy said he wanted my mother to die in pain!
Then tell Mr. Patrick?
No, no!
Then the mother would still be in danger, and Mr. Patrick might not believe himself.
Courtney stood firm, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
Time quickly passed and midnight approached in Courtney's agony.
Looking at the darkness outside the window, Courtney sat in the room hugging her knees, having a fierce ideological struggle with herself, and finally made a decision.
Pushing the door open with a creaky sound, Courtney tiptoed into the basement.
Taking out the star staff from the crate, Courtney took a deep breath and walked outside.
She pushed open the basement door and to her surprise saw her stepfather, Pat, standing outside.
"What are you doing, Courtney?"
Pat looked at his daughter holding the star staff in surprise.
"I have to do something, I have to face it, Pat, this is important to me."
Although Courtney wanted to hide it, she still told her stepfather her determination.
"You said, Pat, at some point, we have to make a choice, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did, but does that have anything to do with you being out with the Star Staff so late at night?"
"It does matter. It's my responsibility."
Looking at his stepdaughter who looked stubborn but somewhat confused, Pat guessed that he must have been in some trouble.
Maybe tonight Courtney will have to face an existence that she cannot face directly.
"Courtney, tell me what happened and I can help you."
Pat patted her shoulder. "We are a family, aren't we?"
"Did you meet those guys I told you about before, the villains who coveted the Staff of the Universe? Are they here?"
"I"
Courtney looked at her stepfather in shock.
How did Pat figure that out?
"Something's wrong since you came back from school, Courtney. I told you before that as long as you pick up the Star Staff, those guys who killed the Justice Society members before will find you. They are everywhere."
Listening to what Pat said to her, Courteney let out a sigh of frustration.
"Yes, you guessed it, Pat. I was threatened by a guy today. If it weren't for Mr. Padrick, I might not be able to come back."
"Who is he?"
"I don't know, but he can talk in my head."
After hearing what Courtney said, Pat's face showed a serious expression, "That's Brainwave, you can't go, Courtney, he is very dangerous."
"I know, but he threatened me that if I didn't hand over the Star Staff before midnight, he would kill my mother. He said he would give her a stroke and let her die in pain."
"He really said that?"
"Yes."
Pat took a deep breath and gripped the door frame next to him with his fingers, leaving deep marks on it.
"What he said is true, and he would do the same to you, Courtney."
"Don't scare me, Pat."
"No, this isn't to scare you, but you should be scared, you know? You should stay home."
Looking at Pat's unusually serious face, Courtney bit her lip and said, "No, you don't understand, Pat. I have been waiting for my father to appear all my life. Now I know why I didn't wait, because Brainwave and others took him away from me, and this scepter will give me another chance, a chance to achieve justice."
"This is for Star-Man, for the Justice Society of America, and for your lost friends."
Pat was slightly moved by what Courtney said.
He didn't expect that Courtney would be such a girl who insisted on justice.
Although he was very touched, he still would not watch his stepdaughter die.
"Hey, listen, Courtney, I don't care if you can use that stick or not, just wait here and I'll take care of everything!"
Taking his hand off the door frame, Pat exhaled deeply.
The winter air quickly turned his breath into white mist.
"If...if I am not back tomorrow morning, you go find your mother, go to Peter's house with her, and let him take you out of town." "Just leave like this, and never look back."
Courtney listened to her stepfather's firm tone and tried to interrupt, "Pat, don't..."
"Can you understand what I'm saying? Stop it, take your mother and brother away from here, and tell her that I love her!"
After saying that, Pat left the basement and walked outside.
The parking lot in front of Smallwell High School.
At midnight, Brainwave, who was waiting in front of the clearing, heard a whistling sound in the air.
He looked up in astonishment and saw a huge robot flying overhead.
The robot is about 15 feet tall (4.5 meters), equivalent to the height of one and a half floors. It is generally humanoid in shape, but has shorter legs and a wide chassis, similar to the tracked design of a tank.
This robot, modified by Pat, is painted red and blue, with the lightning star logo of the Justice Society of America (JSA) printed on its chest.
Pat thought that the robot, which was originally hidden in the warehouse in his backyard, would never be used in his lifetime, but he did not expect it to see the light of day again tonight.
The signal tower near the school cast a spider-web-like shadow in the moonlight.
Pat Dugan squatted in the cockpit of the "Star-Spangled Mech", the hum of the hydraulic system like a steel behemoth with suppressed anger.
He saw the brain waves on the ground at a glance, and new and old hatreds surged up together. He gritted his teeth, grabbed a car next to him and smashed it at the other party.
Facing the oncoming vehicle, Brainwave casually stretched out his hand, and an invisible force controlled the car so that it was suspended in mid-air.
"Boom!"
Then the car hit the ground heavily.
Seeing that the attack failed, Pat immediately pressed the red button on the joystick with his thumb.
"Go to hell, bastard!"
An electromagnetic pulse bomb suddenly ejected from the back of the mecha, exploding into an electric grid in mid-air.
With a "buzz" sound, the electromagnetic pulse suddenly spread to the surroundings.The mental tentacles of his brain waves were briefly disturbed, and Pat took the opportunity to boost the engine. The mecha tracks crushed the asphalt road, and his right fist smashed at the opponent with a thousand pounds of force.
"boom--!"
The fist froze ten centimeters away from Brainwave's temple, as if it had hit an invisible wall.
Brainwave sneered, his pupils glowing silver-white, "Do you think you can fight me with scrap metal?"
Then, under Pat's incredulous gaze, the mechanical fist turned around and knocked Pat's mecha away with a "bang".
It fell heavily to the ground, and before Pat could control the mecha to stand up, two cars on both sides suddenly hit it and squeezed the mecha to the middle.
A "creaking" sound was heard, and the mecha was forcibly squeezed under the powerful telekinetic control of the car and began to compress towards the middle.
at the same time.
Courtney has already taken action at home.
In the room, Courtney made the decision and changed into the uniform that Pat had just made for her.
The tights fit her body, Courtney wore a blindfold and used a hair tie to tie up her blonde hair.
She jumped onto the roof with the Star Staff, and as her mind moved slightly, the Star Staff rushed forward.
Courtney also ran forward quickly, ran to the edge of the roof, jumped onto the Star Wand with a "bang", and flew away into the moonlight.
Patrick Farm.
Although Peter didn't know that the brainwaves set the time at midnight.
But he had been paying attention to the situation in the town and knew that Brainwave was definitely going to cause trouble.
Soon he saw the battle between Brainwave and Pat Mecha at Smallwell High School.
"Squeak!"
The door to Star-Lord's room was pushed open.
Star-Lord, who wanted to go out, went downstairs quietly and saw Peter sitting in the living room.
"Dad? You didn't rest?"
Star-Lord asked, somewhat confused.
"How can I sleep when it's so noisy outside?"
Peter stood up and asked the somewhat uneasy Star-Lord, "On the contrary, Star-Lord, where do you want to go so late at night?"
"I want to take care of some things, some small things."
Star-Lord didn't know how to explain this to Peter.
He was afraid that Peter would keep him on the farm and he would not be able to get out.
Star-Lord originally planned to go out for a walk.
He has been hanging around outside these two days.
Stargirl uses the Star Staff to fly in the sky, but Tom has been eyeing her.
He was really worried that if he wasn't careful, Tom would snatch Stargirl's scepter away.
Although Dad had scolded Tom before, he didn't believe that Tom would give up.
After all, this kid has always been scheming.
Although he is apparently an excellent student at Hogwarts, he behaves like a polite gentleman both at school and on the farm.
But Star-Lord knew that was just his disguise.
"A small matter? I don't think you would go out in the middle of the night for a small matter."
Peter cast his gaze out into the pitch-black night.
Just when Star-Lord thought he was going to be grounded, Peter suddenly said to him: "But if you want to go out, I think you should go to the school."
