Chapter 909 Is Padraic my father?"Yes, very powerful enemies, Starman and those superheroes died to save the world."

As he spoke, Pat took out a photo and handed it to Courtney.

"This is a photo of Starman and other superheroes."

Looking at the Starman wearing the American flag in the center of the photo, Courtney asked in a daze, "Is that enemy more powerful than the Crime Syndicate this time?"

"Uh"

Pat scratched his head awkwardly, "Probably not."

"Does my mother know about this?"

"No, she doesn't know yet. Although it's wrong to be dishonest, people have died because of being too close to people in this association. Now you know the truth, and now you are in danger too."

"Hey, listen, Courtney, my tone was a little harsh just now, but I didn't mean it. The Star Staff is missing, and I'm a little anxious."

Courtney didn't listen to what was said next.

She looked at Starman in the photo and suspected that it was her father.

"Why does the Star Staff only belong to Star Man, but I can use it too?"

Courtney asked the other party with some confusion.

"I don't know."

After a pause, Pat said in confusion.

He was also confused about this matter.

Courtney looked down at the necklace around her neck. It was a small heart-shaped golden mirror.

After thinking for a while, she walked up to Pat and said to her stepfather, "The night my father disappeared, Starman also died. Maybe he is my father."

Pat was slightly stunned when he heard Courtney's speculation.

He thought Courtney's speculation was too outrageous.

"Of course not, that's too much of a coincidence, Courtney."

Courtney's tone was a little excited, "Why? Maybe this is fate."

"No, Courtney, that's not a possibility."

"Maybe it was fate, maybe the planets aligned, or maybe it was something else."

Pat hastily interrupted her stepdaughter, "This is impossible. There is no such coincidence in the world. Besides, your mother and I have been married for so long, and I have never seen that your missing father would be Starman."

Looking at Pat's determined expression, Courtney felt a little frustrated.

She sat down on a crate nearby and looked up at her stepfather and asked, "Do you know Peter Patrick? Pat?"

"what?"

"I said Peter Patrick, the man from Patrick Manor. The person I just met might be him. He controlled the Star Staff easily, and he is very powerful and mysterious."

"And I felt that the Star Rod seemed to be very different there. The Star Rod brought me to that big tree, Pat, what do you think?"

She blinked and asked Pat, "Do you think Peter Padrick could be Starman? Or am I actually his daughter? Otherwise, why would Starman go under that tree? Why could he easily subdue Starman?"

Pat was shocked by Courtney's bold idea.

"No, of course not!"

Pat began to stutter.

"Your mother doesn't even know him, and the Starman I know wouldn't be him!"

Seeing Pat's extremely excited look, Courtney quickly comforted him.

"Okay, I was just mentioning it casually, don't get excited, Pat."

Pat took a deep breath and said to her, "Courtney, Peter Patrick is a very dangerous person. Don't get close to him or his sons and daughters. This will put you in danger."

Courtney disagreed with Pat's statement. She frowned and said, "But I don't think they are bad people. Mr. Padrick returned the scepter to me, and Star-Lord taught those hooligans a lesson in school. If they are bad people, then there are no good people in this world."

Then she stood up and walked outside.

"I'll talk to my mother."

Watching his stepdaughter's back as she left, Pat sighed slightly, supported his forehead with his hand, and rubbed it as he felt a headache.

He took a step forward and walked outside in a bad mood.

With a creak, he pushed open the door and sat in the corridor outside.

Feeling the night breeze, he pulled out a photo of the Justice Society members and Star-Man.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

Courtney walked out of the living room and walked behind her stepfather somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Pat, I need to apologize to you. What I said just now was a bit too much."

She had just talked to her mother, who asked her to apologize to Pat.

Courtney herself also felt that what she had just said was a bit excessive.

"Um, Pat you are Stars and Stripes, right?"

"Uh-huh, when did you know that?"

"I suspected it when I was looking up information before. The striped clothes you left in the box before were very similar to the stars and stripes."

She coughed and said to Pat carefully, "Can anyone help you think of a better code name? Like Star-Lord, Homelander, Superman, Superman, these names are so cool."

Pat: “.”

Are you apologizing?

He raised his head and looked at Courtney.

"What do you want to say, Courtney?"

"I don't mean any harm, I mean your name can't deter bad guys, just like 'Look, the stars are coming', the enemy won't be scared when hearing this."

Pat listened to her stepdaughter's complaints and said helplessly, "Sylvester (Starman) originally used the name Twinkle Star Boy, so the stars and stripes came naturally."

"Twinkle Star Boy?"

"Yes, Starman was the name he used later. He thought it was a cooler name. I wanted to be a superhero at that time, but I only knew how to repair cars. During an operation against bad guys, I helped him, so I became his assistant."

"Assistant?" Pat nodded. "Yes, I help him wash the car and sort out his uniforms and clean them for him. We are the best partners."

"I think this is what a lackey and a babysitter are."

"No, I'm his close friend! We're partners, and I'm also a key member of the Justice Society of America."

Pat felt that her stepdaughter had very low emotional intelligence.

"but."

Courtney took the photo from him, "Why aren't you in this photo of the Justice Society members?"

Pat: “You?”

He felt that he was being attacked by Courtney at every turn.

“That’s because I’m the one taking the photo.”

Pat said somewhat unhappily.

Courtney took a deep breath and cast her eyes toward the night sky. "Okay, Pat, I will keep your secret, because you are married to your mother, and I will keep the secret that you are a star, but you can't interfere with me."

Pat was a little unhappy when Courtney said this.

"This is not interfering with you. You don't even have a driver's license, right? This is not only about my secret, but also the safety of your mother and your brother. Do you understand?"

Courtney shrugged. "Okay, I see. So we have a deal, right?"

"Yes."

Pat finally let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing his stepdaughter walking towards the living room in a good mood, he sighed slightly.

He had a vague feeling that his life would not be peaceful from now on.

Being a father, especially a stepfather, is so difficult!

The next day, at Padrick Farm.

As soon as Tom went out, he saw Baobao walking towards him.

"Hi, good morning, Tom."

"Good morning, Boom."

Tom greeted casually.

"Tom, did you hear dad fighting with somebody in the yard last night?"

Baobao suddenly called him and asked curiously.

Tom shook his head and said calmly, "No, I didn't hear anything. I went to bed early last night."

He told lies smoothly and naturally, just like Peter.

"is it?"

Boom Boom scratched his hair.

She seemed to hear her father having a conflict with someone in the yard last night.

"Okay, maybe I'm dreaming."

Baobao thought for a while, whispered something and walked downstairs.

Going downstairs to the living room, Bombshell saw Peter drinking coffee with Ciri, Raven and Wonder Woman.

"father!"

Boom Boom came over and threw himself into Peter's arms, "I had a nightmare last night."

Peter was enjoying his coffee when he was almost splashed with coffee by the explosive that rushed over him.

Putting the coffee down, she ruffled Baobao's hair and said, "Now that you are old enough, Baobao, you should act more like a lady."

"Lady?"

Boom Boom hugged Peter's arm, blinked, and asked Peter, "A lady like Theresa? Although Theresa is like a lady sometimes, when she fights, she is not a lady at all. Instead, she is like a witch, the kind that makes people embarrassed at first sight."

Baobao started to speak ill of Theresa secretly again.

"Dad, I think a daughter like me can take over your job. A witch like Theresa can't do that."

Diana, who was standing next to him, asked Baobao in surprise, "Who do you think you are, Baobao?"

"Well, probably the kind of person who neither follows the old ways nor pursues new ideas, but just quietly watches the world change."

Baobao read a book or watched a TV series from somewhere, but suddenly he said something that seemed very philosophical.

"But most importantly, I'll never leave Smallville, so I can take over your shift, Dad. I can keep watch over the farm for you."

Riven, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but complain in her heart after hearing what Baobao said.

Are you the only one who is silently protecting the farm?!

The last time you were sprayed by Nicodemus Flower, you turned into a little crazy Jinx.

Imagine if the farm fell into the hands of Jinx, who said, "I am a lunatic with a doctor's certificate." She could already imagine the farm being bombarded every day.

Even if it's Wei, Riven feels that she is more reliable than Bomb.

"Ahem.!"

Raven glared at Boomstick quietly, then changed the subject and asked Peter, "Dad, who was that girl who flew into our yard last night?"

Like Tom, she saw Peter and Courtney talking last night.

Baobao next to him was a little confused.

Wasn’t it just a dream?

"Her name is Courtney. She's the girl that Star-Lord mentioned who got into a fight on her first day of school."

"is her."

Raven nodded, "Does she have super powers?"

"Not yet, but there should be in the future."
