Chapter 8 Heroes need to grow

Accompanied by Lisa, Hodge kept thinking in his heart after he came out of the police station, do I have that heart to become a hero? But, I always feel something is wrong?

Looking at Lisa who was smiling beside her, Hodge suddenly thought about what was wrong. I came to ask whether to save Parker's uncle. The problem has been circulating on me until now, and my doubts have not been solved.

Then, Hodge said the doubts in his heart again. This time he told Lisa that he knew that Parker was also an extraordinary person. After all, they all knew that Hodge was not an ordinary person.

"Hodgie, if he really follows what you said, if he doesn't come out to be a hero, then won't you? My child is better than anyone else!" After a pause, Lisa looked at Hoodgie seriously.

"If he doesn't go, then you will defend the city, isn't it good? Isn't this what you always hoped to do when you were a child?" Lisa smiled, with an inexplicable sense of accomplishment on her face.

Looking at Lisa with a proud look, Hodge suddenly realized that he seemed to have found the most precious person in his life. Regarding his childhood, he said he wanted to defend the city or something, but at that time he was thinking that if he had superhuman power, he would try that feeling.

Unexpectedly, all the casual words I said were deeply remembered by my adoptive mother. Isn’t it something you need to cherish with such a meticulous mother?

He gave her a deep hug. Looking at Lisa, who was already a head shorter than her, Hodge nodded firmly, "Well, I will, I will do what I think I should do, follow it." As he said, Hodge pointed to his chest.

"I trust you."

......

When he returned to the entrance of the library again, the sun had already begun to slowly set. Hodge had already seen the beige classic car. An old man with white hair and fat body was sitting in the driver's seat quietly waiting for his nephew.

This old man said the most classic and influential saying, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." He is also the uncle of Spider-Man Parker - Ben.

Looking at this ordinary old man, Hodge had a hint of admiration in his heart. Such a person should not die innocently at the gun of the robber. Thinking of this, Hodge no longer stayed in place and walked towards the car where the old man was.

You have to get familiar with each other first, say hello, get to know something, and think of this in your heart, Hodge walked to Parker's uncle "Ben".

"Hello, sir." Knocked the cart glass, and Hodge greeted Ben.

"Hello, kid, are you in any trouble? Is there anything I can help you?" Ben was very kind. After opening the car window, the first sentence he spoke made Hodge feel good. Only such a person would say that, Hodge thought to himself.

"No, thank you, I just...just in the morning, I saw Parker get out of your car, so, come and see you and ask where Parker is going? I'm his classmate" Hodge asked pretending to look around.

"Are you Parker's classmate? Parker never tells his family about his affairs at school, including fighting." Hearing Hodge say that he was Parker's classmate, the old man immediately became enthusiastic.

"Get in the car and sit down." Pointing to the passenger seat, Ben looked at Parker's classmate with a smile. He was tall and handsome, with a gentle sunny smile, very friendly.

"Thank you." Hodge said thank you, then opened the car door and sat in.

There is no extra decoration in the car, but it is very clean. From this we can see that the owner of the car is a careful person. Just like Lisa, her car is simply in a mess and very compatible with her personality...

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hodge, Hodge Paso." For the first time, Hodge introduced himself with his full name.

"Of course you can just call me Hodge." Hodge said, stretching out his hand and shaking Ben.

"Okay, I'm Parker's uncle - Ben, Hodge, can you tell me about Parker's situation in school? He never told me that this child likes to hide everything in his heart." After introducing himself, Ben began to ask Hodge about Parker's affairs in school.

"Of course." Hodge smiled and was very happy. After all, he was just waiting for the robber to appear, and then sent the robber to save the old man's life. If you have a topic to talk about, you will naturally have a reason to stay here.

So Hodge said from the beginning that Parker he knew, and from the beginning, he kept talking about his crush on the object he loved since he studied, and told all the secrets Parker didn't want to tell.

Ben, who was standing beside him, nodded repeatedly when he heard Parker in Hodge's mouth, and added a few more comments from time to time. For example, you should be brave enough to pick up girls and think about it. Parker made him shake his head after hearing this, and when he was disappointed, he also talked about some old past events when he was chasing girls when he was young...

In this way, the old and the young sat in the car and started a heated discussion. The content of the topic was directly transferred from Parker to other places. It was not until the old man's stomach finally screamed that the two stopped talking, looking at each other and smiling, feeling that they felt like they met too late.

"I'm very happy to chat with you, kid, but I think we should go buy some food." After touching my stomach, Ben smiled happily. He had a very happy day.

"I think so too, I'll buy it, you can take a break." Hearing Ben's words, Hodge also had the same feeling, and then volunteered to buy food.

"Did you bring money with you?" Ben asked when he heard that Hodge wanted to buy it himself.

"Of course." With a smile, Hodge pushed open the car door. At this time, the sky was completely dark. Because he was not sure when the robber came, Hodge carefully looked around just in case. After not finding any suspicious people around, he felt a little relieved.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After talking to Ben, Hodge ran across the street, where there were supermarkets, restaurants, and a pizza restaurant.

After thinking about it, Hodge decided to buy a pizza. After making the decision, he entered the pizza restaurant.

The night was getting darker, and there were fewer pedestrians around the library. At this time, Hodge was still waiting for his pizza in the store. There was no way. The business of this pizza restaurant was so good. When Hodge came, there were more than a dozen people in front.

However, now it is time for the robbers to appear, and Hodge, who is cautious, has been looking back frequently in the direction he is in.

His eyes could easily see the situation over the wall, which was also one of the reasons why Hodge could wait for pizza here with peace of mind. If something happened, Hodge could rush over as soon as possible. This was his confidence in his strength.

"Sir, the pizza you ordered is ready, please come and collect it." After looking at the situation on Ben's side, Hodge turned his head when he heard the waiter's words.

"Okay, thank you, how much is it." Hodge thanked politely, then took out his wallet.

"Twenty-five dollars, thank you for your patron." Looking at the handsome and decent little handsome guy, the waitress's fair face turned slightly red.

After paying, he took the pizza box handed over by the waiter. Hodge turned around and walked out. When Hodge came to Ben's car, he found him sitting quietly in the car and pretending to sleep.

He gently knocked on the car window and looked at Ben who woke up, Hodge raised the pizza in his hand with a smile on his face.

When he saw Hodge, Ben smiled knowingly, opened the window and took the pizza handed in by Hodge, and then opened the door lock, "Come in, kid."

"Yeah, has Parker not come yet? Where has he been?" Hodge got into the car and asked knowingly while eating pizza with Ben.

When Hodge mentioned Parker, Ben was helpless, "He said he went to the library, but the library is closed now. Although he doesn't know where he is now, we have already made an appointment to see you at ten o'clock." He picked up a piece of pizza, Ben took a bite, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I was in the library in the morning, but I didn't see Parker." Hodge shamelessly sold Parker while eating delicious pizza.

After hearing Hodge's words, Ben's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he slowly said, "Youth is always rebellious, isn't it?"

Hodge looked at Ben who was comforting himself and felt a little dissatisfied with Parker. There was an uncle who cared so much that he didn't know how to cherish him. He didn't regret it until he lost it. If God...

Bah... where did you go?

Fortunately, he was here, otherwise he would have regretted death. Hodge thought about it while looking at Ben with a little declining expression, comforting, "Don't worry, Parker will understand."

"Well, I think so, after all, he is a genius." Ben smiled slightly when he heard Hodge's comfort.

"Dongdong."

Just as the two were having a good time eating pizza, the car window was suddenly knocked. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat ferocious face knocking on the car window.

"I need your car." Although the man's face was fierce, his tone was very calm, and it was obvious that he was a habitual offender.

As he said that, he opened the car door and carefully pulled the elderly Ben out of the car. Hodge, who was on the side, had a headache. He had no choice but to forget to calculate one thing, that is, everyone was doing the wrong position!

Ben's driver's seat is located next to the street, while Hodge's passenger seat is located on the road, so now it is. Hodge is standing next to the car, while Ben is standing next to the robber.

Although Hodge is very confident in his strength, he has never really used it. He doesn't know if his speed can be knocked down before the robber shoots. If he is a beat slower and he is beaten to death, will his efforts today be in vain?

Looking at the current situation, Hodge suddenly felt that he had always been too arrogant and thought that he could handle such a small matter as Superman. Unexpectedly, the small situation made him very passive.

Sure enough, if you want to be a hero, you can't be a hero with just enough strength. You also need more training and experience to be competent.

On the other side, Ben was persuading the robber, while Hodge was hesitating until a man holding a backpack and holding a pistol ran towards this side from a distance, and Hodge's heart jumped.

If I remember correctly, it was a robber named Mark who was being patted by his accomplice, which led to him shooting Ben to death. Seeing the guy getting closer, Hodge's heart tightened and Daniel's words couldn't help but sounded in his mind.

‘Be worthy of your heart’.

At this time, the robber who was running was less than one meter away. He was about to pat Mark's shoulder. Hodge moved, as fast as lightning. The moment the robber was about to touch Mark, he hit him directly, knocking him away for more than ten meters away, and lay there without moving.

"Bang."

When Hodge had just knocked the robber away, the gun in Mark's hand fired.

Hearing the gunshots, Hodge was stunned and his head was confused. Did his actions go in vain?

Hearing the gunshots, pedestrians passing by the road surrounded them, and the robber named Mark did not leave, but looked at Ben, who was slowly falling down while covering his thighs, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the people surrounding him, Hodge was shocked and quickly squatted down and looked at Ben. His body was not injured, but his thigh was scratched by a fire-ridden pistol.

Hodge glanced at Mark, and said nothing, but called an ambulance.

"The gun went off... I had no intention of shooting... I just wanted a car." Mark stared at Ben lying on the ground blankly and explained.

"I know..." Ben was already old, and although the gun did not hit the vital point, he still looked a little weak.

"Okay, stop talking. Let's leave these things to the police. I've called an ambulance and I think it will come soon." Hodge patted his hand.

"I'm leaving, it's time to go home." Hodge told Ben, feeling that Parker was about to come, so he asked to say goodbye. He was very confused now.

It’s not because Ben was not dead, nor because he changed the end of the accident.

But, for one's own strength.

He only knew that his strength was very strong, but he knew how powerful it was. His uncertainty about his strength led to his hesitation just now, so he is very eager to test and train himself.

Only by fully mastering one's own strength can one protect the people in his heart who want to protect!
