Chapter 388: Another Member Joins the Padrick Family

half year later.

metropolis.

The city is surrounded by darkness and the night is slightly chilly.

In the dim alley, there were quick and messy footsteps.

Two men wearing baseball caps suddenly ran towards a woman who was passing by.

With a "bang", the bag that the woman was carrying was snatched away before she could react.

Seeing her bag being snatched, the woman immediately reached out to the other person, trying to get her bag back.

"Do not!"

The woman exclaimed as she pulled the strap of her bag.

Seeing that the woman was not about to let go, one of the robbers pulled out a dagger and pointed it at her.

"I'm going to take your beautiful bag, and your ring and necklace."

The robber put the dagger to the woman's neck and threatened her: "You'd better do it obediently, otherwise I don't know if I will hurt you."

As he was threatening the woman, a voice suddenly came from behind the two robbers, "No, you'd better not."

The two black robbers turned around and saw a black woman with short black hair, delicate and deep facial features, and wearing a light yellow uniform, walking towards them.

Under the dim street lights, the aura emanating from the woman made the two robbers feel uneasy.

"What are you?"

The tall and thin robber pointed the dagger at the woman and asked.

The woman in front of her had a necklace of animal bones around her neck and a light green badge on her chest with a frame made of winding trees and the letter "P" in the middle.

"I'm a vixen."

Robber: “.?”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, McBee coughed and asked the two, "How does it sound? This is the name Peter gave me, and I just started using it in public recently."

McBee has only recently become a hero fighting crime in the city, and she's still a little out of place.

"I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce this name. I'm a vixen. I'm a vixen."

McBee tilted his head and pronounced the vixen's name in a different voice.

She even stretched her head out and made a ferocious expression towards the two of them, "I'm a female fox!"

The startled robber immediately became angry and pointed the dagger at McBee.

McBee looked at the other man who was about to take action and shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I'll practice later."

"go to hell!"

The robber stabbed McBee with a dagger.

McBee instantly activated the power of the ape and jumped onto the wall with a "bang".

Under the astonished gaze of the two robbers, she ran briskly on the wall.

"Boom!"

McBee jumped from the wall behind the two men and kicked one of the robbers who was approaching him into the trash can with a nimble kick.

Seeing his companion being killed easily, the other robber suddenly lost the courage to fight and turned around to run away.

McBee naturally would not let him escape. He moved in front of the other party, grabbed his neck, and threw him into the trash can, leaving him with his accomplices.

After simply dealing with the two robbers, McBee walked up to the stunned woman and said, "Are you okay, ma'am?"

"I'm fine, thank you, thank you."

The woman thanked McBee repeatedly.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you're alright."

After talking to the woman for a few words, McBee left the alley and jumped onto the rooftop.

Standing on the rooftop, overlooking the night view of the city, McBee's mood also became relaxed.

Feeling the night breeze, McBee pressed the green badge with the letter "P" on his chest.

This is the family emblem Bruce made for Peter. It contains the most advanced communication device, and Peter also placed a grain of sand inside.

This badge not only serves as a communication function, but Peter can also sense when the badge bearer is in danger.

Two months ago, McBee wanted to transform into a superhero at night, experience what it was like to be a vigilante on the streets of Metropolis, and help those in need.

To prevent her from getting into trouble, Peter gave her the family emblem.

Looking down at the badge on his chest, McBee couldn't help but complain: "Well, I'm now a member of Padrick's family. From now on, everyone will probably know that I'm inseparable from him."

By pressing the badge, a three-dimensional real-time image of Peter was projected into the air.

"What's the problem, Mary? Is superhero life in Metropolis not going well?"

Padraic Farm, Peter asked McBee.

He didn't expect that McBee would video chat with him at this time.

"No, actually I'm fine. I just dealt with two robbers. I haven't seen you for a week. Are you guys okay? Where are Raven and Mark?"

McBee admits he misses the farm a little.

Although she was only gone for a week, it felt like a month.

"It's fine, except that Raven kind of misses your cooking."

"I'll be back tomorrow."

McBee felt somewhat proud when he heard Peter say that he missed the meals he cooked.

"By the way, is Kara here?"

She asks about Kara.

Besides Peter's family, the only person on the farm now is the Queen of the Underworld.

Bruce returned to Gotham, Zatanna went to perform in other places, and Kara was on the run because she lost the one million she borrowed from Peter. "No, she's probably hiding in some small city to make money."

Peter didn't care about Kara's escape.

If this stupid woman wants to be a superhero and fight crime, it won't be long before she is caught by some villain, and she will probably have to take action on her own then.

At that time, we can settle both the new and old accounts together.

After finishing the call with McBee, Peter thought for a moment, walked to Mark's door and knocked.

After pushing open the door, I saw Mark lying on the bed, flipping through a book called "The Man with the Invincible Gun".

In half a year, Mark gradually returned to normal from a silent and introverted boy.

Mark behaved like an ordinary boy and gradually adapted to life on the farm.

As for his previous memories, Mark was in a chaotic state and remembered nothing.

"father!"

Seeing Peter coming in, Mark immediately put down the book excitedly.

"Can you read the text, Mark?"

Mark wasn't in school yet, and Peter doubted if he could understand.

"A little. Aunt Persephone taught me some English."

Mark picked up the book, turned to a certain page, pointed to the word on it and asked Peter: "Dad, can you tell me what this word means?"

Peter looked at the word (genius) that Mark pointed to, sat down and said to him: "Genius, talent, can also refer to a talented person."

"Genius?"

Mark held the book and thought of himself, and said a little frustratedly: "My brother and sister have talents that no one else has, but I have nothing. Dad, am I different from my brother and sister?"

"They are all geniuses, and I am an ordinary person."

Mark feels a little inferior because he is an ordinary person.

John and Clark are supermen, Loki knows illusion and magic, Star-Lord is described by his father as having a "body of a god", and Raven is younger than him, but her magic is more powerful than Loki's.

"You're older than Raven, Mark. You're Raven's brother."

Hearing Mark call Raven "sister", Peter corrected her with a headache.

"But, Raven asked me to call her sister, saying that she came first and I was the last."

Mark said with an innocent blink of his eyes.

Peter fell silent after hearing this.

Although Mark appears to be older, Riven did come first.

According to Raven's logic, it was fine for Mark to call her sister.

How to deal with the sibling issue between Raven and Mark became a headache for him.

Peter lowered his head and looked at Mark's frustrated expression, temporarily putting the two people's problems out of his mind.

He stroked Mark's hair and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, Mark. You must have your own talent and promised land, but the time has not come yet, or you haven't found it yet."

"So when can I find it?"

Mark raised his head and asked with hopeful eyes.

Peter thought to himself that you'll find it when you turn seventeen.

But if he really said that, it might dampen his enthusiasm, so Peter coughed, picked up the book "The Man with the Invincible Gun" at hand, and said to Mark: "When you have the courage and wisdom of the protagonist in the book, you will discover your own talent and the promised land."

"Really? Dad!"

"Of course it's true. Dad never lies."

Peter ruffled Mark's hair and said, "Just have more confidence in yourself, Mark. In Dad's heart, you are no worse than anyone else."

Listening to Peter's comfort, Mark's depressed mood suddenly improved.

He looked at Peter expectantly and said, "Dad, can you read to me? I don't know many of the words in this book."

"of course can."

Peter nodded and opened the first page of the book.

The next day, early in the morning.

Azu, Star-Lord and Loki all went to school, and Peter went to the town hall, leaving only Raven, Mark and Persephone on the farm.

Mark got up early and rode his bike to get milk.

Although he was the size of a four or five-year-old child when he was first brought here, Mark has grown a lot taller after half a year.

The delivery station that delivers the milk had recently had problems, so he volunteered to go and get the milk.

Mark, who has mastered bicycle skills, rides his bicycle at full speed on the road.

Mark slowed down and said hello to Pete who passed him on a bicycle.

Mark was very envious of Pete's job as a newspaper deliveryman.

He also hopes that he can deliver newspapers to everyone in the morning.

But unfortunately, I was too young and the newspaper office would not agree to me delivering newspapers, and my father also disagreed.

Feeling a little down, he was just about to speed up when he heard Pete's exclamation from behind.

Mark looked back and saw that it was Pete, the newspaper delivery man, who had fallen to the ground.

The bicycle was lying on the side of the road and Pete's newspapers were scattered everywhere.

Beside him stood several senior students, pushing and shoving Pete who was standing up.

Without hesitation, Mark immediately rode his bike and sped to Pete's side.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Mark shouted to the senior students.
