Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 488: Don't interrupt, kid! (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

"I came to Blue Valley Town to track down a mysterious underground organization."

Martin didn't know whether Parker knew about Apocalypse. Anyway, he didn't explain and took out the photo: "Last night, we checked a convoy in Central City and found this photo from the leader of the convoy. And we confirmed that the person in the photo is a student from Blue Valley Town."

Parker took the photo, scanned the image into the computer, ran some data randomly, and found some data about Artemis and her family from the public website.

"This is the person. Judging from the data, his father Lawrence Crocker, his mother Paula Brooks, and Artemis, who is a popular figure in school, all seem to be fine!"

Even though Parker left the Justice Society twenty years ago and is now in his forties, his mind is still clear, probably because he is used to making all kinds of tools, which he can exercise even in his daily life.

"This is the biggest problem. Since they appeared in Central City, they must be hiding some secrets. But we can't find any clues, which makes us suspicious."

"The reasoning is correct."

Martin gave Parker a thumbs up and praised him for his continued success.

"But I need you to confirm the identities of these two people and make sure they have no connection with the Injustice Society."

"I'm sorry, but I can't make such a guarantee for you. The Injustice Society was born during World War II. It has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness and ability, and often wanders around the world. The Justice Association has repeatedly thwarted their conspiracies, but has not been able to discover their true identities."

Martin estimated that this must have something to do with the military.

Because it is well known that the Justice Society is so deeply involved with the military, it has to take on some tasks to protect the US mainland.

The members of the association are also happy to do such things. Unlike the Justice League, these people who were born around World War II do not have a strong sense of "freedom".

Changing the world is the characteristic that the times have given to this generation, allowing them to actively participate in various social activities, unlike the current young people who talk more than they do.

Although he knew this, Martin did not say it directly. After all, it was a thing of the past.

Now that the Justice Society is gone, their relationship with the military doesn’t matter.

"If you are willing, I would like you to help me investigate the suspicious people or things in Blue Valley Town."

After Martin made this request, Parker was somewhat tempted, but then he became embarrassed.

"I understand that you have a family and once you conduct an investigation, it may put them in danger. I had someone take them away to ensure the safety of these people."

"Okay, but you have to think of a good reason."

Parker agreed to Martin's request without hesitation.

He knew very well that in a place like Blue Valley Town, where the community is very strong, Martin's news could not be concealed at all. Those who hid in the sun of Blue Valley Town would not believe that a former member of the Justice Society would stay out of the evil.

Of course, Parker doesn't intend to stay out of this, so the Justice League's willingness to protect his family is of course the best option.

He no longer has many connections in the military, and he is not sure about the military's attitude towards superheroes.

"What we are going to do is not something shady, so why not just tell them everything directly."

There is nothing wrong with Martin's suggestion, but for Parker, it means that he has to take on everything for the past twenty years and once again become the "Star and Stripes" who supports all superheroes.

“As excited as I am, I have to admit that I am too old to fight those guys again.”

"You are a logistics personnel, you don't need to go to the battlefield!"

Martin smiled and said, "If you can't react right away, I'll come forward. As an outsider, I can be more direct. It doesn't matter if I'm the bad guy."

He remembered that Parker and his wife were a blended family, and family conflicts in this type of family were always more intense.

"No need, I'll do it myself!"

Parker felt as if he was seen through by the young man in front of him, and his inner problems seemed to be non-existent in his eyes.

He was no stranger to this feeling; all leaders were like this; no matter how gentle their personalities were, they would always bring pressure to those around them.

Parker took a deep breath and stood up. He was not as excited as he said.

He had been waiting for this day, and all the decisions had been made when he received the news from the Justice League.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to let Martin in.

Just like that, the two of them walked out of the basement, and Parker did not hide the workshop.

"It's great that you haven't left yet!"

Parker stopped his family who were about to leave and subconsciously glanced at Martin.

Martin spread his hands, took two steps back to the living room, picked up Parker's computer, and began to collect public information about Blue Valley Town, especially those dating platforms or short video platforms.

Parker's wife Barbara looked at her husband curiously. Parker and his ex-wife's son Mike waited obediently. Barbara and her ex-husband's daughter Courtney did not respond, but just flipped through their phones.

Martin's time was valuable, and Parker didn't hesitate, instead telling his past and present in a simple, understandable way.

Barbara was a little angry. She didn't expect her husband to hide such an important thing.

The youngest son Mike was full of admiration, he never thought that his father was actually a superhero.

Courtney, who had never seen her biological father, had always been unwilling to accept this stepfather. Her first reaction was suspicion, suspecting that Parker had made up such a lie in order to get them away.

Courtney's reaction is a normal person's reaction. No one is willing to believe that an unknown person around her has a glorious past.

Only when the reality becomes undeniable do they go from questioning to anger and frustration.
Without further ado, Parker led the family into the basement and showed them the few remaining things of the Justice Society.

When they entered the basement, Martin put down the tablet and walked to the basement entrance.

When he was awakening the Green Lantern just now, he sensed other energy reactions within the Justice Society's relics.

Although he didn't know what it was, in order to keep it secret, he was prepared for any unexpected event.

hum!
Martin had just walked to the entrance of the basement when he heard a shrill buzzing sound from below, which was a characteristic of high-speed energy operation.

"This is much faster than I expected!"

A burst of golden light rushed out from the basement, very dazzling, and it seemed to be dragging something behind it.

"Get out of the way! I can't control myself!"

The girl's voice rang out, and then I saw Parker's stepdaughter dragging behind Jin Guang.

The golden light was a golden scepter, emitting dazzling light and energy.

"Why are there always so many weird things in this world!"

Martin muttered softly, raised his right hand, and a green light bloomed from his palm. The energy of will spread out and formed a thin film covering the inside of the aspect.

Alan Scott's lamp automatically flew to his right hand, and the green light energy he could mobilize suddenly increased. Then, he stretched out his right hand and directly grasped the golden scepter. The green light energy materialized into strands of silk threads as his will crisscrossed.

The golden scepter was caught by a stranger and it kept releasing energy as if in response to stress. The sound and frequency were changing, as if it was trying to express some kind of message.

But Martin didn't listen. He tightened the silk thread transformed from the green light energy and directly blocked the scepter, cutting off the scepter's chance to release energy outwards.

Then, he grabbed the top of the scepter, pulled it gently, and took the scepter away. He used the tail of the scepter to support the little girl named "Courtney" and placed her steadily on the floor.

"Thank God, Martin, you reacted quickly, otherwise there would be a big mess!"

Parker rushed out of the basement in two steps and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Martin.

"So what happened down there?"

Martin handed the scepter sealed with green light energy to Parker and asked casually.

"This is Starman's Cosmic Scepter, which can grant the chosen one almost superhuman powers. Since Starman and his companions disappeared twenty years ago, the scepter has been unresponsive. I didn't expect that Courtney could awaken it."

Parker held the scepter with a complicated expression. In the end, he didn't know what to say and just sighed silently.

"I see, that's quite a coincidence!"

"How can you react so calmly? This is Star Man's scepter!"

The Justice Society is not unknown in Blue Valley Town. Various news have been circulating, and Martin has only just discovered this phenomenon.

As for the little girl's reaction, he smiled and replied: "I'm a member of the Justice League. Do you think I haven't seen this kind of thing?"

Starman's Cosmic Scepter is nice, but not worth making a fuss about.

"So has your family made a decision?"

Martin immediately put the matter of the Cosmic Scepter behind his mind and asked Parker about his decision.

"They will leave. Blue Valley Town is too dangerous for them. They must go to a safe place."

Parker made the decision directly. If it weren't for the accident with the Scepter of the Universe, they would have reached a consensus by now.

"Why should we leave here? What's the danger in this place? Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Courtney jumped out eagerly. The Cosmic Scepter seemed to give her more confidence and courage.

But Martin didn't even look at the child. He just said calmly, "Children have no right to interrupt when adults are talking! Just wait quietly on the side."

"I am a girl recognized by the Cosmic Scepter. Why do you say I am not qualified?"

Courtney was very unconvinced.

Martin continued to ignore her. "So what? You can't control yourself at all. You can't even fight me. Maybe after training, you will become an adult soon, but that is in the future, not now."

While they were talking, Barbara and Mike also came out of the basement.

Martin lifted the blockade of the green light energy, a purple light flashed, and a cube fell out. It was the mother box sent by the Alliance through Rachel's magic.

"It's time for you to go."

He grabbed the Mother Box, turned around and said to the three women and children, "Parker and I still have work to do, so let's put an end to your family conflicts for now!"

Martin intervenes in Parker's family as an outsider, forcibly interrupts their discussion, and opens a sonic boom channel to Central City.

The Justice League's new base is safer, but not suitable for this family.

Parker hugged his family one by one. Courtney refused such intimate activities. She looked at the Cosmic Scepter reluctantly and walked into the sonic boom channel with her family.

"Ah, young kids, you always don't know the importance of things."

Courtney left and the Cosmic Scepter no longer had any energy response.

Parker put the scepter back into the basement, and Martin did not touch the green light energy on the scepter.

"By the way, can you lend me this lamp for a day?"

Martin raised the lantern in his hand and asked Parker for it. This was not his thing, and he couldn't just take it and walk away like a robber.

"Of course, these things are just for display. If they can be used in some way, that's what they should do."

Parker looked at the workshop he built with his own hands reluctantly: "Once the secret of Blue Valley Town is revealed, these things can no longer stay here. I hope the Justice League can keep them for us and ensure that they don't fall into the hands of bad people."

"If you are willing to give them, the Alliance is certainly willing to take them. This is a symbol of heroism!"

Many people in the Alliance are related to the Justice Society, and these things can be considered spiritual inheritance.

"Where are you going to start?"

Parker took a deep breath, pulled himself out of his memories, and asked Martin seriously.

"What happened last night must have reached certain people's ears. At this time, I came to your house, and your wife and children have mysteriously disappeared."

"When all this information is put together, I believe someone will come looking for us soon!"

Martin didn't plan to take the initiative to search for anything because Blue Valley Town was very large, even for superhumans.

He didn't know how long it would take to search the city alone, maybe even several days.

"In order to ensure that these people can jump out, I will go to the school and look directly for the Crockers' daughter."

Martin felt that the Parker family's material was not strong enough, so he decided to add another one.

"You don't need to worry about my safety, but what about you? Do you need me to use the green light energy to build you a new house?"

Parker looked at the lamp that Martin raised and shook his head: "I am not a powerless person."

As he spoke, he opened the connection between the basement and the garage, and an old sedan lowered down, then transformed into a large robot several meters tall.

"With this thing, I will never hold you back!"

Parker stood next to his robot and puffed out his chest with pride.

The world is indeed full of talented people. A person can actually make a robot by hand in a garage. This is much more outrageous than making a nuclear reactor by hand.

Martin gave him a thumbs up and sent him a program: "If you need it, this program can help you connect to the super artificial intelligence of the Star Laboratory."

"It's a timely help. I've never had the opportunity to get involved in artificial intelligence."
