Chapter 1583 - Bad Train of Thought
Chapter 1583 Bad Train of Thought
Claire’s relationship itself was very ordinary.
Carly, who was an extra on various film sets, accidentally ran into Claire when the latter was taking part in some show.
The recording for the show didn’t take too long, only a few days.
But Carly, who had heard of Claire before, was very curious.
Because of the “wizard’s” warning, she didn’t use her abilities and only got along with Claire normally.
They got closer when Carly just so happened to save the “damsel in distress.”
Of course, Claire didn’t need Carly to save her. However, she was curious about someone of her own “kind,” so she and Carly got closer.
They parted ways after the end of the recording, but Claire wasn’t short of money, and neither was Carly.
Their identities were special to begin with, and Carly soon went to Los Angeles, and they met more often.
Gold Nugget hadn’t reported Claire’s contact with Carly Green because it hadn’t sensed anything unusual.
It didn’t have a gender, and Selina wasn’t gay, so it had always thought that the two girls were just good friends.
But just now, Gold Nugget No. 2 had watched Claire and Carly get closer, and had vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
However, Gold Nugget No. 2 hadn’t said anything right away.
If it reported falsely to Luke before things were clear, that would truly be a “big situation.” But Gold Nugget had still been with Grandpa Pennyworth at the time to prevent his mental fluctuations from leaking. So, after listening for a while, Gold Nugget No. 2 was completely stunned when Claire and Carly confessed to each other.
Claire falling in love was an important thing that Luke had told it to report.
That was the moment when it urged the clone to send it home.
As Gold Nugget described the situation, Luke’s expression remained a little strange. Selina knew him too well. She could tell that something was on his mind. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Carly a big problem?”
Luke sighed. “Do you remember the girl who turned into Hondo in L.A.?”
Selina nodded, then widened her eyes. “Carly is that… Stacy Carlisle. That’s her name, right?”
Luke smiled bitterly. “That’s right.”
Selina observed his expression carefully and couldn’t help feeling suspicious. “Don’t tell me she has something to do with you?”
Luke said that he had taken care of the aftermath, so she hadn’t asked any more questions.
Luke had too many secrets. She didn’t want to be a gossip girl and ask everything. So, she didn’t know that Stacy was Carly, and neither did Gold Nugget.
However, if this Stacy was just a suspect whom they had crossed paths with before, she could break bones and viciously cripple her.
As long as it was a bad guy, they would get this treatment, regardless of gender.
Luke had always treasured his sister. When it came to Claire, making the other party disappear would be very normal, even if it was a girl.
Looking at the expression on his face now, it was most likely that the girl… was one of their own?
Since this had already happened, Luke no longer hid anything from Selina. He told her how he used his V (wizard) alias and secretly trained the supergirl trio.
Selina was shocked at first, but it was soon replaced by a look of understanding. In the end, she nodded calmly. “I see.”
She knew a little about Luke’s habit of “collecting teammates.”
Wasn’t that how she, Mindy, Alice and Angel had been pulled in?
She didn’t suspect Luke of ulterior motives.
That was because Tony, Damon, Frank, Ivan and Wade were all men.
There were far more men than women in the team.
Even taking the non-humans into account, Gold Nugget could be considered half-female, while the five members of the Ninja Squad were all male.
Thinking for a moment, she said to Luke, who was deep in thought, “Do you want me to go to L.A. for a look?”
Luke shook his head. “No need. I’ll find a chance to talk to Claire.”
Selina said, “Then, that Stacy…” Luke smacked his lips. “Look, have Robert and Catherine ever interfered in my private life?”
Selina immediately got it, but she couldn’t help but curl her lip. “That’s because you’re too mature. When you first started following me on the job, you didn’t feel like you were 18, but like a 28-year-old old man.” Luke: “…Thanks for the compliment.’
Selina chuckled and patted his head. “You’re too mature, which is why Robert and Catherine were unwilling to say anything. As for Claire’s Stacy…”
She shook her head slightly.
Luke understood what she was getting at.
Whether it was her background or her criminal record, Stacy didn’t seem like a suitable partner.
It wasn’t because Claire was a girl. Even if Claire and Joseph switched ages, Stacy still wasn’t a good choice.
It was one thing not to interfere with Claire’s private life. However, if the other party didn’t have good moral conduct, it became a big life problem. There was nothing wrong with Selina’s way of thinking
What she didn’t know was that Luke had Pheromone Control.
With this ability, he really wasn’t worried about Stacy causing any trouble.
The only problem was Claire.
As for Stacy? That was just a matter of how much effort that would take.
As someone who severely lacked a sense of security, Luke had never liked to interfere with his family’s personal choices.
It was just like how his Grandpa Drax liked to live on a ranch, and Robert and Catherine liked spending their days leisurely in Texas. Luke never thought of forcing them to become part of the “upper class.”
At most, he made sure that they didn’t lack money, and that they had the capital to spend whatever they needed to.
By the same logic, when Claire went to college, became a star, and then became a vigilante, Luke just did his best to ensure her safety.
He had never forcefully meddled in the choices she made.
This was nothing more than dating, and the other party was a backup teammate whom he had been educating for more than a year – he didn’t need to act like he was facing a huge enemy.
That was why Selina could easily sense his emotions.
He didn’t plan to hide anything… It was just that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, Luke had long thought that Claire would fall in love in college, and had also considered that the supergirl trio would fall in love.
He had just never thought that it would be with each other.
The most he felt at that moment was awkwardness.
Suddenly, Luke thought of Joseph. All this time, the little “girlfriends” around his little brother had been changing constantly. But it seemed that Joseph was indifferent to their squabbling over him?
Don’t tell Luke he would have to face an even trickier problem in the future? His expression turned even more conflicted at this weird train of thought.
Where on earth did things go wrong? His family members had all been very regular people before. Why did things suddenly start feeling shaky?
For a moment, Luke suddenly felt like pulling his hair.
