American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers! - Chapter 919 1 Star-Lord Seriously Talks About Inspiration

"What should I do?"

At Pat Dugan's house, Courtney asked her stepfather in panic.

"I killed someone, I killed Brainwave!"

She looked towards Pat with a horrified tone.

As for Tom, he returned to the farm after dealing with Brainwave.

"No, Courtney, you have to calm down. You didn't kill him. We all saw that he was sent to the ambulance. He just had a brain short circuit. Maybe he just needs to stay in the hospital for two days."

Pat comforted her stepdaughter, whose heart was still not calm because of killing Brainwave.

Star-Lord walked over and handed the hot water in his hand to Stargirl.

After thanking Star-Lord, a conflicted expression appeared on her face.

"But what if he dies?"

Pat came over and sat on the crate across from her, looked her in the eye and said, "Hey, it's not your fault, Courtney. His brain short-circuited."

"yes, I agree."

Star-Lord is familiar with this psychological guilt.

After all, when he first killed the villain as a child, he had the same idea as Courtney.

"It's not who you hurt, but who you protect that matters."

Hearing what Star-Lord said, Pat said to him: "Not bad, kid, I agree with this."

Courtney repeated in a low voice the word Star-Lord had said.

After that, she did not continue talking to her stepfather and Star-Lord. Instead, she took a deep breath, stood up, and slowly walked to the Star Scepter.

The moment his hands touched the Star Staff, a soft light emanated from it.

Gently picking up the Star Staff, Courtney turned around to face Pat and Star-Lord.

Pat shook his head. "I don't know how it works. It wasn't made by Starman. It was made by a man named Ted Cornett. But... that's a long story."

He looked at Courtney with complicated eyes, "I never thought that there would be another Star Man."

Courtney immediately corrected him, "It's not Starman, it's Stargirl."

She stood up and looked outside with a confused look, "We killed Brainwave, and we will find out who else killed Starman and destroyed the Justice Society, and we will seek justice for them."

"No, I can't, Courtney."

"What? What are you talking about, Pat?"

"I don't know why you can use a cane. Who knows, Courtney?"

Pat shook his head at Star Chaser and said, "Maybe you are really the daughter of Silvers. Even though it sounds crazy, it's you who didn't give up on me. You saved me."

Courtney immediately corrected Pat's words and looked at him with some confusion, "What do you want to say? Pat, do you want to abandon me? We are partners, aren't we?"

"But the last time I was someone's assistant, my partner was killed."

Courtney stood up and said excitedly to her stepfather, "But this time you have an awesome robot. You can do it, Pat!"

"The Star Staff chose me, and I chose you. Isn't it wonderful that we can defeat evil together?"

"No, for your safety, I don't want you to be Star Chaser anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left the basement, walking up the stairs.

Watching her stepfather leave, Courtney sat down dejectedly.

"What's wrong, are you frustrated?"

"No, I just don't understand why Pat would have such an idea?"

"That's normal, Pat just wants you to be normal."

Star-Lord said he understood Pat's thoughts.

"how about you?"

Star-Lord nodded, "Of course, and dad told me about your battle with Brainwave at the school gate."

When Courtney heard Star-Lord say that Peter asked him to save him, she opened her mouth in shock.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Star-Lord spoke seriously for once. "Let me show you something."

As he spoke, he pulled out a keychain from his pocket and handed it to Stargirl.

Looking at the blue frog keychain, Courtney had a surprised expression on her face.

She turned the keychain over and found a message engraved on it: "In memory of Star-Lord saving Smallville's frog on September 9.14th - from Peter Padrick."

When Courtney heard Star-Lord talk about his past, she immediately became interested.

"and after?"

"Later? Later, my father told me, 'Star-Lord, next time you meet guys like this, I will still support you in beating them up.'"

"My father told me that you must control your power. You will fight with others because frogs are killed because you don't want to see any life disappear in front of you, but if you don't control and use that power, they will be killed, and you will become the kind of person you hate."

Star-Lord said to Courtney with a serious expression: "If Dad were here, he would definitely not stop you from being Stargirl, but would let you know your power and what you are protecting."

Hearing Star-Lord's powerful words, Courtney was slightly stunned.

She was originally a little confused, and her heart was slightly moved.

She didn't expect Peter to be such a considerate father.

After coughing, Courtney took back the random thoughts in her mind and whispered to Star-Lord: "Thank you for your comfort, Star-Lord, but... you are speaking in a low voice again."

Star-Lord: “.”

Of course he didn't admit it. After coughing, he continued to lower his voice and said to Courtney: "No, I didn't lower my voice. This is how I speak."

“You know, at some point my voice gets a little sentimental.”

Well, this family is indeed a bit immature and stupid.

"Um, Star-Lord, can I join your superhero organization? I remember you said that the superhero league your father formed is called Padrick's Justice League. Is that true?"

After Courtney calmed down, she asked Star-Lord.

Since her stepfather doesn't agree to partner with her, she doesn't need to join the Justice Society of America.

Now she's joining Mr. Peter's Justice League at Padraic Farm.

"Uh, I'll have to ask Dad."

Star-Lord said hesitantly.

The next day.

During breakfast, Peter looked through the information Chloe had collected on the members of the Injustice Society.

These members of the Injustice Society, like the Scoundrels, are not particularly powerful villains and appear to be just a group of ordinary villains.

Some of the more important members are Brainwave, Icicle and Warlock.

Brainwave's ability is to directly invade other people's brains, read memories, create hallucinations, and even manipulate behavior. In the battle to destroy the JSA, Brainwave was one of the main executors, using mental attacks to interfere with JSA members and cooperating with Icicle, Warlock and others to complete the raid.

But this guy also has weaknesses.

Prolonged use of abilities can lead to brain overload and even mental breakdown.

In general, this guy is a typical high-attack, low-defense villain with extremely strong mental control abilities, but with obvious physical and mental weaknesses.

If it weren't for his family taking action, and only Stargirl and Pat were on the battlefield, Brainwave's strength would definitely be a top threat to the two of them.

All I can say is that this guy was too arrogant, and his abilities were restrained by the Star Staff, which is why he died so easily.

"dad."

Seeing Peter reading the newspaper, Star-Lord asked him quietly, "Can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

Before Peter could speak, A-Zu, who was sitting next to Peter, asked him in confusion, "Who is Courtney?"

A-Zu has been busy with school papers lately and has not paid attention to the farm and the town.

So I don't know what happened at Smallwell High School.

"Courtney Whiteman, a new superhero who inherited the Star Staff."

"How does she want to join?"

A Zu frowned and asked Star-Lord, "Could it be that he is like Wanda, Lyra, and the others, recognizing his father as his godfather?"

Hearing Azu's vulgar words, Peter glared at him.

Am I such a casual person in your eyes?After coughing, Peter said to Star-Lord, "Of course, but forget about joining. If she has any trouble, Star-Lord, you can help her."
