American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 637 My name is not Chu Yuxuan, my name is Law Enforcement Officer Smallwell
That year, I was happily sitting in my own helicopter with a head full of dazzling red hair, having a deep conversation with my father.

Later, he walked into a large cornfield. Suddenly, a meteorite fell from the sky and caused a strong wind, which inexplicably caused him to lose his proud hair.

Because of his hatred for his father, he left the manor, but was chased by terrifying creatures lurking in the darkness.

In the moment of danger, it was Mr. Patrick who saved him.

On the one hand, he was grateful to Peter.

But on the other hand, he was constantly reminding himself.

Mr. Patrick must not be from Earth!

The origins of his eight children are also full of mystery and inexplicability.

He wanted to explore the secrets behind Peter and his family, but he knew that once he touched the truth, it would hurt their feelings.

The feeling for Peter was similar to that between him and his father.

So he has been struggling with the contradiction.

I want to investigate Peter and get to the truth, but I'm afraid the truth will hurt Peter.

He didn't trust aliens, but he had full trust in Peter.

"Mr. Alien Padraic."

Lex repeated the two words and fell into deep thought.

Padraic Farm.

Peter doesn't know yet that Lex is involved in Joe McNally's serial murders.

At this moment, he was talking to Chandler on the other end of the phone.

Chandler called to tell him that Joe McNally had not been found.

Considering that the other party might retaliate against Javier, he reminded Peter to pay attention to Javier's safety.

Peter glanced at Javier who was watching TV in the living room and hung up the phone.

He had not yet told the other party that Francisco was dead.

"dad."

As soon as Peter hung up the phone, Wei came over with a worried look on her face.

"Can I talk to you?"

"of course can."

Peter stroked Wei's red hair, "Where do you want to go to talk with Dad?"

……

In the secret base of the barn, Wei raised her head and asked Peter sadly, "Dad, is Francisco dead?"

Peter was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Did Clark or Star-Lord tell Vi?
"It's not certain yet, the police are still investigating."

Peter bent down and ruffled Wei's hair to comfort her.

"I know, Dad, Francisco is dead. Clark told me."

Wei directly said that it was Clark who told her.

"Dad, you said Clark would become a superhero. There are many superheroes in this world. Do superheroes really make the world a better place?"

Peter listened to Wei's words and glanced towards the corner of the stairs.

He could see Bakugo hiding behind a corner and eavesdropping on their conversation, but he didn't expose them.

"Why would you think that, Wei?"

"Because I see that there are still many tragedies happening in this world, like the deaths of those workers at McNally Farm. You told me what a superhero is the day before yesterday, Dad. I am a little confused. I am confused about whether heroes have changed the world."

Wei expressed her thoughts.

Peter raised his head and looked toward the cornfield in the distance.

"Do you remember the news you watched, Wei?"

Peter half-knelt down and looked into his daughter's eyes and asked.

"What? Dad."

"It was the report of the 13-year-old girl stepping forward to save the 6-year-old girl."

Peter was talking about the shooting that happened in Denver last Friday.

When the shooting occurred, a 13-year-old girl named Kailan was also present. She tried to save a 6-year-old girl named Veronica, but Veronica unfortunately passed away.

Veronica's pregnant mother survived after being shot three times.

"Remember, Wei? There was more than one teenager named Kailan who stepped forward to rescue others. There were at least three others. And the girl named Kailan was a fan of Batman. The clothes and hat she was wearing had Batman logos on them."

Peter slowly said to his daughter, "You know, Vi, Bruce is Batman. You are very familiar with him. Do you think he has made Gotham a better place?"

Wei thought about it and said confusedly: "I don't know."

Peter nodded and said, "Before Batman appeared, Gotham had been falling, falling without a bottom line, and the people there were desperate and crazy. Batman told the desperate citizens of Gotham that, yes, evil will always be there, and yes, darkness is hard to dispel, but there are people there to fight against it.

And a kind person is never alone."

Peter said to Wei: "When he appears as a living hero in the dark Gotham, think about how many people will be inspired by him, just like Kailan." Although Peter usually keeps a distance from these positive energies.

But he still tries to convey some positive things to his two daughters.

If his two daughters ended up having their values ​​distorted and becoming super villains, he would be completely screwed.

Wei listened to what Peter said and nodded.

Peter stroked his daughter's short red hair and continued, "I want to tell you a story, Wei, are you willing to listen?"

"Yes, Dad."

Peter coughed and said to Wei with expectant eyes: "One day, Batman, also known as Bruce, returned to Crime Alley. He couldn't help but violate the law and saved his parents."

"So, Batman disappeared."

"The events of Bruce's parents' death in Crime Alley were rewritten, erased, so that Bruce Wayne became an ordinary little boy who grew up to be a normal, non-vigilante dude.

"But soon he realized that he had made a mistake and he had to 'find' Batman. When he saw the young Bruce Wayne coming out of the manor, he saw something in his young self's eyes, something he had never seen before - Bruce was happy."

Peter paused at this point.

"If he had even the slightest choice, he would have wanted his younger self to be happy, but he could only remind Batman of the normal timeline, and he made that choice - to get everything back on track."

"On one side is a normal life and his parents who grew up with him, and on the other side is Gotham and even the whole world, his responsibilities - for Bruce Wayne, who has become a bat, this is not a choice, even though it means facing the scattered pearls again and facing the death of his parents again."

Peter looked into Vi's eyes and gently held his daughter's hand.

“Not only Batman, Flash, Batwoman—including all other superheroes, have faced such failures time and time again. There are too many things that cannot be reached, too many things that cannot be saved… This kind of pressure, this kind of darkness, constantly attacks them and tortures them. The reason they choose to become heroes is to never give up in the midst of pain and suffering.”

“It’s just that some people in this world happen to have abilities, and heroes choose to take responsibility.”

Feeling the warmth that Peter was conveying to her, Wei gently reached out and held Peter's thumb.

“For the citizens of Gotham, or the citizens of other cities, for the people of this world, having such a hero means that they have a chance - although only a chance - to survive, or at least die like a human being, rather than as garbage that can be thrown away everywhere. Yes, the world they live in has become a little better because of superheroes.”

Peter gently picked up his daughter and said, "And this is what Dad wants to tell you. They changed the world and made it a little better."

After listening to Peter's story, Wei gently leaned her head into Peter's arms.

"Dad, I will be the hero you expect me to be. I will make this world a better place, and I will be your hero, so I will always protect you."

Peter's mood brightened as he listened to his daughter's confession.

“I’m really looking forward to my Wei becoming a hero that can stand on his own.”

"I've made up my mind, Dad."

Wei clenched her fists and said to Peter, "From now on, I will be called Law Enforcement Officer Smallwell!"

Wei gave herself a resounding name, "I am the law enforcement officer of the Padrick family. I protect justice, the farm and my father."

Peter: "."

"Isn't your name Chu Yuxuan?"

Hearing Peter's complaints, Wei scratched her hair, "Dad, who is Chu Yuxuan?"

"Nothing, Dad was just joking with you."

Peter coughed, stroked his daughter's hair and changed the subject.

Baobao in the stairwell was not like Wei who completely listened to Peter's words.

At this moment, she was thinking about what name to give herself.

Wei is called Law Enforcer Smallwell, what should I be called?
Baobao fell into distress.

In the afternoon, Persephone found out which dry cleaner Javier's mother worked at.

So Peter asked Clark to drive him to the Talon Club to meet Javier's mother.

Javier's mother had already arrived at the club.

In the speeding car, Javier asked Clark worriedly: "Clark, have you found Francisco?"

Looking at the other party's worried expression, Clark did not choose to continue hiding it.

"I'm sorry, but Francisco is dead."

"died?!"

Javier was struck by lightning when he heard the news!
"parking!"

Javier asked Clark to stop the car, pushed open the door and ran out.

Clark got out of the driver's seat and chased after the other party.

"Wait, Javier!"

Javier ran to the cornfield, tears streaming down his face.

He pulled the amulet out from around his neck and threw it into the cornfield.

"It's all my fault. I killed him. If I hadn't suggested him to run away, he wouldn't have died. If I had given him the necklace, he wouldn't have died. It's all my fault."

Clark came over to comfort him, "No, it's not your fault. We don't know the ending of the story, so we can't see the future."

As soon as Clark finished speaking, a "boom" sound was heard from the cornfield in the distance.
