Baby in the Watchtower (He is Baby pt. 2)
“Marvel!” He turned around to see an exited Flash right in his face.
He stepped back a little, “Woah, what is it?” He asked.
“Bats gave us permission to hold a little party—,” he fake-coughed, “reunion, on the Watchtower, in 3 hours.” The speedster jumped while whispering, “We are planing to connect a Switch to the presentation screen.”
“Oh, well. Have fun.” He wasn’t really sure why he was telling him that, tho.
“Aren’t you coming?” Oh, that’s why.
The Captain wondered for a moment, but his thoughts were interrupted, “Sorry, Billy. But we already made plans, remember?” That’s true; even with the signed documents, they still had to ‘move some strings’ so he was officially adopted in Fawcett’s records and completely recognized as a child of Zeus on Olympus.
His smile faltered a little, he hoped Flash didn’t see it. “Ah, sorry. I have places to go, family matters, y’know?”
For a second Flash looked disappointed, before widening his eyes and asking “Wait, you have a family? Wait, wait, that came out wrong.”
He breathed for a second before trying again, “Well, everyone in the League thought you did not have a secret identity. Because you do not hide your face, and all.”
Solomon, secretly as much of a trickster as the rest, guided him on how to respond.
“Ah, well, you weren’t wrong.”
“Wait-what?”
“Technically it’s not official yet, that’s what I’ve to take care today; and I’ve only been with them for...” “A month,” Mercury whispered in his mind; it was a lie, but it was to throw them off track. “For a month.” He lied.
“How does that even happen???” The hero asked, confused.
“Supes is eavesdropping, answer truthfully to avoid suspicion.” Hercules informed.
“I... Didn’t have a family. I was living on the streets. I’m better now, tho!” He quickly reassured before anyone could start scolding him for keeping that to himself. “I’m fine. I’m going to fix some papers to be officially part of the family.”
“You were on the streets????? And you didn’t tell us???”
He did not know how to keep talking about this, so he let Atlas take control for a bit, “I did not know any better.” It wasn’t a lie, all his foster homes were worse. That would not be how they would be interpreting.
“I found a place, they even know I’m a hero!”
“That’s... So cool buddy.” The speedster said, trying to sound positive, but grimacing all the same. “I’m so happy for you.”
“It’s true, he is happy for you getting a family, but he is sad for you having to live in the streets in the past.” Solomon decoded for him.
“Thank you!” He exclaimed happily, with seemed to make the other more uncomfortable; but his patrons family told him not to mind him, that it was ok.
“Well, see you around!” He said, turning to the Zeta tubes.
“Bye bye.” Flash said, failing to meet his excitement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“New Marvel lore just dropped!” The speedster exclaimed, running into the room.
“Dude, the party does not start in 2 hours— I mean, the reunion—”
“I know you wanted it to throw a game party,” Batman interrupted. “What were you saying about Captain Marvel?”
“Okay, okay,” Flash jumped into his seat, “so, you remember that bet about if he does or not have a S.I. (Secret Identity)?”
“You got an answer???” Green Lantern questioned.
“I think so? Now the question is if that bet counts until last month or currently.”
“Wha-” Aquaman asked, confused.
“I invited him to the party, and he kinda looked sad for a second, and then he told me he had ‘family matters’ to attend to.”
“So he does have a S.I.! How does he keep it shut?”
“He also, kinda, implied that that was new. He said that...” He paused. “It turns out he was homeless.”
“... What?” That came from Bats, surprisingly high-pitched as well.
“He was living in the streets until a month ago. He said that technically he wasn’t a part of the family officially yet, that he was going to fix that today.”
“Sometimes I forget heroism isn’t a paid job.” Wonder Woman said, “Oh, brother.”
“Is this information confirmed in any way?” Batman asked; if the facts could be a misunderstanding, he would need to know so before putting them in the Captain’s archive.
“I was eavesdropping,” Superman admitted, “his heart rate and breathing were steady, unlike when he does pranks. And he wouldn’t lie about something like this.”
Martian Manhunter raised his hand, “sometimes I received feeling of worry about food and warm places from him, even when avoiding looking into his mind, until recently. Not exactly one month, but that could be because he is used to worrying about it.”
“Now that I think about it, maybe that’s why he doesn’t wear a mask;” Arthur said. “He didn’t have anything nor anyone, so he didn’t worry about losing anything by having his identity revealed.”
“That doesn’t explain why he didn’t tell us.” GL counter-argumented.
“His villains know. In the recordings, they seem to reference a secret identity they know; and if they knew about him being homeless, it would explain them targeting almost empty buildings. That’s probably where he was staying.” Gotham’s knight answered, “And maybe it wasn’t about us finding out about someone, but us finding out about his situation.”
“He is the type to refuse help if he thinks it comes from pity.” Diana added.
“... What now?” The situation was too unexpected, and Flash needed some hint on how to proceed.
“Now, nothing changes. He hates pity; and if he needs help, his new family will provide it for him. Treat him the same you have always treated him.” Bats answered. “If anything, make sure not to say anything that may be hurtful towards his situation.”
************************************************************************
“Oops,” Marvel said. “Double oops,” Billy responded.
“It seems the spell from that user has interfered with the transformation.” Solomon explained through Marvel.
“Well, I can see that. What do we do now?”
“Wait a sec, I’m asking Hecate.” Mercury answered this time. “Okay, that spell is still in you— our? Marvel’s system; if we try to de-transform again it could fragment us further, which is no good, and we can’t re-integrate until it’s out.”
“How long?” “At least two days.”
“Wha— I have a JL meeting! Today!”
“I’m sure we can manage,” Achilles proclaimed confidently.
“Ah-ha, sure. Because any of you know how to act like Captain Marvel.” Billy said, sarcastically.
“I have an idea.” Zeus said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey, I kinda have a problem.” Receiving a text from Captain Marvel was not a common occurrence, so Batman was rightfully intrigued.
“Explain”
“I know I have to go to the meeting, I know it's important. But I kinda have to take care of one of my family members. He’s a kid and everyone is busy today, and he really loves superheroes, so if I could?”
“Doesn’t he have school?” The bat questioned. “He is homeschooled” The captain explained. “He is a really, really good kid, I promise”
He was going to regret it. “Very well, but he is your responsibility”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Batman, sir!”
He closed the chat, and opened another with Clark and Diana. “Captain Marvel will bring a child he is babysitting to the meeting, pass the word.”
Let’s hope this wouldn’t be a complete chaos.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Captain Marvel, now arriving.” “Unknown, Captain Marvel’s guess, now arriving.” The Zeta tube prompted.
“Yo, Cap,” Barry appeared in front of them, “who’s the kid?”
The child imminently peaked up, “Oh, gods. Hello, Mr. Flash, sir.”
The speedster felt déjà vu. “Hello, little guy. What’s your name?”
The kid putted, “I’m Billy, and for your information I’m eleven and a half!”
He laughed, “not so big if you are still counting the half.”
“That half is 5% of my life, or 2 years of yours.” Billy said with an almost creepy smile.
He turned to the Captain, “dude, what’s wrong with your kid?”
Marvel just smiled, “Oh, come on. He’s just playing.”
“He called me an old man!”
“First, no he didn’t. That words haven’t left his mouth.”
“He implied it!”
“Second, you implied he was a baby.”
“What a menace.” The speedster gave up. “Anyway, let’s go.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Is everybody here now?” Superman asked, ignoring the exited squeaks from Billy.
“Yeah, sorry, I’m late.” Marvel answered.
The meeting started; a bit boring. Passing reports, making sure everything of the JL was in order.
An hour later; they were technically done, but could not leave until Bats gave them the thumps up.
“Hey, kid, look.” Hal said, making forms with his ring. Billy praised it like he hadn’t seen it a hundred times before.
“That is SO COOL, Mr. Green Lantern, sir!” He exclaimed.
Quickly, all the members noticed the resemblance between the Captain and Billy. Which, for them, was weird. He had only been part of the family for a few months, who could the kid act so much like him? Were all people in Fawcett like this?
That was assuming he wasn’t related to Captain Marvel; but, taking into account that he had managed to hide being homeless for a year, it was possible he was Marvel’s child.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was searching information about the kid; of course he was, he is Batman.
William ‘Billy’ Joseph Batson, orphan at 5, disappeared from foster care at 8 and reappeared a few months ago. Was homeless, until a couple found and adopted him. ‘Jove Olympia’; he opened one of his archives, this one on Greek mythology, and ran a facial recognition program. 90% match between ‘Jove’ and one of Zeus’ statues.
The facts were clear. The Captain, C. C. Batson, pronounced dead, transformed into the god's avatar, found his son Billy running from CPS and ended up living in the streets with him to protect him.
December is specially harsh on the homeless; the Captain probably asked, begged, his patron to take his son to safety. And so he did.

(this is for the divine twitch chat au my beloved)
captain marvel, at 3am: *preparing a goat for an ancient sacrificial ritual in the watchtower kitchen*
jl member of choice who just wanted a quick break from watchtower duty: hey uhh.. cap? buddy? whatcha.. what are you uh doing there?
cap, basically hissing: the voices, they’re winning
queue misunderstandings and rumours spread among the heroes
This ask had me cackling like a mad man ever since I got it, omg 😂😂😂
There's some hilarity in Billy holding a goat 🐐 like the Billy goat, hahahahaha
This is both hilarious and horrifying, bc if a JL member saw that, it'd be an immediate report to HR or batman. Does the JL even have a HR? Oh man
Also
Memes!
The divine twitch chat AU certainly is expanding and I am here for it!
Also, I hope that goat ends up being safe in the end and getting taken care of By Damian.
#This was such a lovely ask#Thank you for the ask#I'm still laughing about this one sm#Billy batson#dc captain marvel#Shazam#divine twitch chat#That poor goat omg#Was the man fr gonna sacrifice a goat in space??#Would that be the first goat in space?#Oh man#In space no one can hear a goat scream#Pffft#Ask me anything! Anytime!#Also#Sorry to hide this in the tags#But a Captain Marvel being controlled by the patrons in his mind would be incredible to see

Is there a tag on ao3 people use for divine twitch chat adjacent things? Or specific tags for Billy's gods/patrons? I tried looking but couldn't really find it
I wrote a little something that I want to post with the right tags but also in general I would like to find fics that include them
I don’t think there’s an official ao3 tag! Most of the tumblr posts I’ve seen have used “twitch chat AU” or some variation thereof, so that would probably be the right tag to use.
As I was typing this, I checked ao3 and couldn’t find any fics with “twitch chat AU” or “twitch streamer AU”, so if anyone knows of any fics featuring/incorporating that concept, link them in the notes so we can find them!
#i should make an ask tag#billy batson#Shazam#captain marvel#twitch chat AU#divine twitch chat AU#tags for Billy’s patrons would just be their names in the character tag I think?#unless you mean freeform tags to incorporate all of them or a specific trope#a character tag would probably be ‘SHAZAM patrons’ or something of the sort#but again probably nothing official

Sorry for the sudden ask but I had something I really wanted to talk to you about, mainly about Mary Bromfield (twin version or college age version, either) and her patrons, because, wowie, it sparked a lot in my brain microwave
So, in her first appearance, Mary had a completely different set of gods and patrons who gave her powers, but they still spelled out SHAZAM in the end due to the connection with the wizard.
This was really interesting to see, even more so that most of them were women and that her strength came from Hippolyta herself! Of course a major Goddess like her would have to have been there instead of Zeus, kinda funny, and the connection to Wonder Woman and the Amazonians would have made for an incredible story arc!
However, some of the others didn't set well with her/I didn't think were all that great in my opinion. Grace and Beauty? The times back then kinda influenced her powers to reflect a more feminine version of Captain Marvel, but I think we could do better.
It took me some time, but I ended up compiling a little thing of possible patrons for Mary
S olomon (Wisdom)
H ippolyta (Power)
A ether (Stamina)
Z epherus (Speed)
A talanta (Courage)
M elinoe (Strength)
I figured that Mary should stick to having a connection with Solomon as her source of wisdom, since I feel that it's her strongest power out of all the ones she's forged a bond with. It also gave me the idea that if any of the other marvel family members made new contracts, they would stick with one of their former patrons that they resonated with the most. Also, you would not BELIEVE the amount of stress I went through to find someone, ANYONE, with a name that started with the letter Z and was not Zeus! Holy cow.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas of what other patrons Mary could have instead! I'm absolutely buzzing with energy over this girl!
I love Mary so much!
And yeah she could do a lot better than having Grace and Beauty as powers (though that was a product of the time and largely didn't contribute anything to her character since she was just as powerful in a fight as Cap)
So not only has Mary had those patrons listed above (and the regular set that Billy has) but she has also had a set of entirely Egyptian ditties (courtesy of Black Adam).
Also fun fact: originally the S was supposed to stand for Sappho but in development the creators were worried people would think she was a lesbian. (It's one of the fun meta reasons I headcanon my girl as Sapphic)
But who would I use for her acronym? That's so hard and I went down several Wikipedia holes while contemplating this. One of the hard parts was the fact that so many cool women in mythology had names that start with A and I could only choose two.
S: Sappho (Wit/Eloquence)
H: Hippolyta (Strength)
A: Artemis (Skill)
Z: Zephyrus (speed/flight)
A: Atalanta (Courage)
M: Minerva (Wisdom)
I didn't change much because I liked most of the dieties used. I was going to have the Wisdom of Athena but then I'd have to get rid of one of the other two so I kept her Roman equivalent (basically the same reasoning as to why Billy has Mercury instead of Hermes). Atalanta could also provide speed because she was well known for never being beaten in a fair foot race. In that case Zephyrus would supply flight and minor elemental control.
I really love the idea of having Sappho as one of her patrons but f Billy gets to have Solomon randomly in his acronym then its fine. But I'm not 100% sure what power she would give Mary.
I would love to hear other people's thoughts on Mary’s acronym and what deities you'd use for other members of the family!
#ask me whatever you want y'all#shazam#dc captain marvel#mary marvel#mary bromfield#mary batson#it really is a struggle filling in that acronym with a balanced group of patrons#literally half of my alternatives were various wisdom goddesses#i understand now why Billy’s acronym is such a hot mess

I’ve been forced into reading Danny phantom fanfics because I’m desperate for Billy Batson content and for some reason half the stuff on ao3 is crossover stuff so I guess I like Danny phantom now?? Kind of?? I haven’t watched it and I don’t plan on it but I really like the idea of it.
Anywho,
Billy has maintained a very delicate balance of half truths and lies of ommision over the years to protect his identity as a literal child. He uses facts he learned from his patrons and his interest and knowledge in history, specifically Ancient Greece, to convince people he’s ancient.
Then one day this ghost guy joins the league claiming to be incredibly old as well except he just goes around straight up lying about stuff, saying whatever the hell he feels like about the past if it’s convenient to him or just funny. Most of it contradicts with the story Billy has been delicately weaving over the years and he’s kind of panicking.
One day he confronts the ghost guy and is like “I know your not actually ancient but I’m not a snitch, how old are you?”
And Danny kind of feels bad about pretending to be ancient in front of someone who has literally been around since at least Ancient Greece and confesses that he’s 14. Captain Marvel stares at him for a few minutes before breaking out in a big grin and transforming into a 12 year old Billy. They instantly become inseparable.
You’d think that Billy would ask Danny to stop lying all the time because it’s gonna get them caught, but no, he thinks it’s hilarious. Now whenever Danny says something absurd or directly contradictory of the actual history that Billy told them, they’re just like “oh yeah both of those happened at the same time but all the scribes were at the same spot so no one wrote about the other one and it was lost to time” or “there was a time loop for a good few years back in good old Greece so a lot of weird things happened that just didn’t stick.” Or “that did happen but only ghosts could perceive it.” Or sometimes, if they absolutely cannot get away with any other explanation, “dang must have dreamt it!”
The league is hopelessly confused and 90% sure they’re being messed with but they have no proof and if they look at the history at least MOST of the stuff they say is true so there’s really no reason to doubt it when Danny claims he once fist fought the god of time while the entirety of Rome cheered for him and placed bets, especially when Billy nods sagely and says he remembers having to clean up the space time continuum after the fight and that he lost the modern equivalent of ten bucks in the bet (he still doesn’t lie, just doesn’t disagree with the blatant dishonesty. He honestly did have to clean up the space time continuum multiple times after Danny messes with time a bit too much thanks to Clockwork + shenanigans. They make bets all the time too lol)
I think the contrast between ‘never lies’ and ‘lies all the time for funsies’ with the same motivation of ‘do the funniest thing possible at all times’ can be extremely entertaining and interesting.

This do anything for you?
Yes actually.
The general public are confused about Wondergirl, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel’s connection. Like they all look similar. Though if you use that argument, you could say that Superman was related to them as well. They all have some relation to Zeus. The two women said Zeus is their father while Cap said that Zeus was his patron and creator. So, they’re siblings…? Do all of Zeus’ children have the black hair, blue eye combo? So yeah, people thought they were siblings. But then, people started outsmarting themselves and pulling something from nothing.
Wondy: *being interviewed* “Zeus actually has our black hair and blue eyes. If I remember correctly, his black hair is supposed to symbolize storm clouds.”
Okay, so Zeus actually looks like them. Cool, cool, that was the first thing.
Marvel: *also being interviewed* “Oh no, no no no no I’m several thousands of years older than Wonder Woman and Wondergirl.”
Huh. That’s a little weird. But for all the people knew, this is just a simple case of older-sibling-adult and younger-sibling-or-in-this-case-siblings-child. This was still the second thing. The third thing came in the form of a conversation that was recorded and then posted to the Internet:
Marvel: “I’m so proud of you, Diana.”
Wondy: “You are father?”
Marvel: *smiles* “Of course.”
Now see, the reason Billy had to say this was because Zeus was possessing him. (Ref to this post) So now, the people have come to a conclusion. Captain Marvel is Zeus.
It makes so much sense now. I mean, the man talks about the Gods so most figured he was pagan, but no one figured he was an actual God. All the Hellenistic pagans go crazy cause this guy was one of their biggest reps but now their finding out he’s literally a big three Greek God was insane. Then there’s everybody who knows the Greek lore and knows how terrible of a person Zeus is, so now they’re concerned that this guy is protecting them. After all, this is the same man that caused Xenia to be created. And in case you don’t know how it was created, it was created because of the fact that Zeus (amongst other Gods) would disguise himself as a traveler and stay at people’s houses. If you didn’t follow the rules of Xenia, he could curse you in your entire bloodline, even though you didn’t know it with him in the first place. Safe to say a lot are concerned and a lot are overjoyed.
Meanwhile, all three of the Greek supers are oblivious as this entire thing goes down.

a fun idea i will do nothing with.
basically making a radio show (like welcome to nightvale) but with billy batson as the radio host. Fawcett gets forecasts about demons, warnings about time shifts, updates on captain marvel and his villains, and updates on the caps patrons and what they've been doing around town.
"my producers would like me to warn drivers that Mercury is currently on Mainstreet challenging people to car races. please refrain from racing him. unless you are really good at driving. then please give him a challenge. the mayor is currently trying to convince the flash to come and race him instead. we'll let you know if there are any updates. onto the weather; there is a 100% of magical showers. Take your evil eye with you to ward of the curses of your enemies. they are aiming for you."

I love the idea of Danny dating Black Adam and being married to him
Like Danny has been the ghost King for about let's just say 100 years is human body stopped aging at 21 and everyone is world is now either past on or a ghost serves in his Royal Court when he met Black Adam and they hit it off
Now Danny has gone back in time and save the previous clone children and now has about 13 children including Dan and Ellie being his oldest
Out with the story Captain marvel has claimed that Phantom is one of his patron gods to the Justice League and Black Adam is just like I do not believe my wife has adopted a new child
For some whatever reason the Justice League was assuming the ghost King either Batman thinks he's a threat or something came up and they need his help
Danny being the god of balance is just happy to be there and help out the Justice League whatever need and mentions that he's married to someone that lives in his dimension with one of his kids staying here AKA Klarion and Black Adam
He's also like oh my God I have a new kid I'm so proud of you you must be working so hard to be a hero oh my God I have to introduce you to your stepfather and your sibling that lives here
Billy's just going along with it till like fit into the role of Captain marvel his shocking surprised when he realizes that those two people are Klarion and Black Adam
Black Marvel's responses to a new stepchild while Klarion is like a new sibling I'm no longer the youngest these two know that he's lying about Danny being his patron God Danny does not there is lots of misunderstandings
I’m so sorry that I know nothing about Black Adam or Black Marvel, but this was still a fun read because by all hero purposes Captain Marvel is an adult and he will be child! 😤

Angst idea for billy batfam: for whatever reason billy is given a punishment from Bruce: no magic until told otherwise. No spells. No heroing. No magic
The problem is that Bruce doesn't understand magic and doesn't understand that billy isn't like zatanna or constantine, he can't just not do magic. 6 gods, the living Lightning and the magic of eternity all bottle up inside a malnourished little kid? It'll burn him alive
but... he's learned better than say no to a pissed off adult
The gods make the executive decision: billy can't stay here. Not anymore.
Ooooh this is good. Thank you for the ask!
Oh, the “no heroing” punishment alone is bad. Because that infringes on his responsibilities within the Magic community. He has work to do damnit!
But no magic? That is basically a death sentence. No joke, asking someone who is so intrinsically tied to magic to NOT use it, is not going to end well.
And the worst thing is, Bruce thinks this is for the best. He still doesn’t get magic after so many years because he doesn’t want to. All magic brings is chaos and a headache. He toned his hate down for Billy, but it’s still there. He’s worried that magic will ruin his new son’s life, so he decides to separate them, like you would your kid from a toxic friend.
But it’s eating Billy up inside. Now, he has voices in his head yelling at him to use his powers. He has magic practically boiling within his very core, hitting along every inch of his inner muscles. He feels like he’s burning up. Like he’s eaten so much that he can’t eat anymore.
Still, he doesn’t say anything. He knows better. After so many foster and group homes that promise they’ll be better than the last, this one feels different somehow. He has hope. It’s not a lot, but it’s there. If he says or does anything to ruin that, it’ll only be his fault.
But his patrons think otherwise.
They acknowledge that these vigilantes have good intentions, for humans. But ultimately, Billy’s wellbeing matters the most. And if he continues to not use his magic, he won’t survive to the next year. It’s like asking him to not take medicine. To not sleep. To not eat or drink.
At some point, the Batman’s intentions don’t matter. Billy needs to go to the Rock immediately. Zeus apologizes profusely before piloting his body and teleporting all the way to the Subway to Eternity.
He can’t stay, they tell him. And, despite wanting a family more than anything, Billy knows they’re right.
*cue Captain Marvel avoiding being in a room alone with Batman and any of his batgirls or robins.*

He is Baby (Extended)
It was cold, so very cold. As December approached, Fawcett city was covered in a fine sheet of snow.
For the most, it was no problem. But for one Billy Batson, it was one of the most difficult problems of the year.
He didn't really have a place to stay; he didn't trust the Rock not to displace him in time, the train station to the Rock wasn't particularly warm, he couldn't get into a homeless refuge without risking being caught CPS, and his usual hideout (a falling-apart building) was at full capacity by other teens in similar situations.
That was sub-problem #1. Sub-problem #2 was food.
After a few visits to the realms of different pantheons; at least half of agriculture-related deities had determined that it just wouldn't do for a boy with so many responsibilities to barely be able to eat, so they (collectively or individually, he couldn't tell) decided to bless him.
A tree he planted would give him any and all types of fruits, so he could always have a healthy snack. If he could get his hands on some bread, it would be tastier and fill him more than it normally should. And things had a tendency not to rot even after several days, so a single harvest of the mini-garden he managed to create would last him so much longer.
Unfortunately; that didn't work when there were no plants to plant or harvest, and he didn't realize the shortage he was about to experience until it was too late to get more than barely enough for November.
After they noticed; his patrons became restless, trying to figure out a way out of this one. Refuge was out of the question, he wouldn't risk it; so was the Rock, and it's station, for not being safe enough; and he wouldn't throw another child into the coldness so he could regain his spot at his hideout.
"The Watchtower?" One had proposed. But it wouldn't do.
He didn't sleep, for all the JL knew, and he wasn't going to deny or confirm anything if it could lead up to his identity being revealed. Also, could he even sleep in his Champion form?
Solomon answered that, while he couldn't get a full night's sleep, even just trying would help his brain do some of the things it did while resting. Still, he couldn't go three full months without actual sleep.
What to do?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was too cold.
He should've expected it, that soon it wouldn't be safe to sleep outside. They told him, that it was too dangerous, that he should stay as Captain Marvel until he finds a place to stay.
But he didn't listen. He'd just come back from the Watchtower, from a 4-hour meeting, and was tired of not being tired.
"It won't snow 'till next week," he told them, like a fool. "The weatherman said so," who would know more? The weatherman or a weather-god?
He went to sleep, and barely woke up to the voices of his patrons screaming inside his head.
"Too cold!" "Danger!" "Wake up!" But what could he even do?
He felt frozen in place, unable to move. He tried to scream, "SHAZAM!" But it was to no use, he'd probably already caught a cold and couldn't talk, let alone scream.
It was so cold, it was warm. The feeling lulling him back to sleep, if only they'd shut up. It was fine, he'd be fine.
They probably realized he'd no longer understand them, because their voices were replaced by images. Ice cube, crossed fire, danger sign. Hands shaking, multiple 'Z's crossed as well.
It only made him more sleepy.
"Billy!!", he recognized the voice as one of the gods. But it wasn't inside his head.
His body moved upwards, as he noticed someone'd taken him from the snow into their arms. It was warm, actually warm. Another level of warm.
The god said something he couldn't decipher at the moment, but he felt the magic moving from the god's body to his own.
What did it do? He'd no idea, as he once again succumbed to sleep. This time incentivized by his patrons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would've been so much faster to sent Hermes or Apollo to bring the child to Olympus; but, in their panic, the god king had completely forgotten about them (which was a bit embarrassing because Mercury also was in Billy's headspace).
They completely ignored the infirmary in favor of their master room, Hera'd understand. The priority was rising the child's body temperature.
They made a bee-line for the bathroom, and willed the room to be ready. With a hand movement, Billy's clothes changed to a bathing robe (they had the feeling he wouldn't appreciate being naked even if it was a life-or-death situation).
As they lowed the kid into the bathtub; Hermes, Mercury and Apollo appeared at the door. The oldest of their present children went to their side almost immediately, searching healing items in his bag.
The speed-gods went together to their other side, and slowly convinced them to get out of the bathroom and let the sun god work his magic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warm.
Billy woke up, and it was warm.
Slowly he managed to open his eyes. To the biggest room he's ever been to.
Where was he?
Solomon gladly answered, "It was far too cold for you outside, you were freezing. So Zeus went to get you, you're in their room."
Well, if this was the room of a god, it was far more colorful that he'd ever imagine. Like, he'd expect it to have more white and gold and not so much purple, blue and pink. The floors were a reddish brown, so cool!
Also, he felt great. Like, actually great, "Wow, I'd forgotten one'd feel this good" levels of great. Well, he did feel a little congested; but nothing else hurting absolutely outweigh it!
He heard the door open, and in front of him was a goddess he hadn't met, tho he didn't need Solomon to tell him who she was. That was Hera, if the crown and the peacock-feather necklace were any indicators.
He wondered if he should vow; before Hercules chimed in, saying it's better to play it safe with her. So he vowed.
"There is no need for that," she said. "You're Billy, correct?" He nodded. "Then know that you're as much mine as you're my husband's."
He didn't really understand what she meant by that. But it didn't matter at the moment.
"They've been anxious to see you; so, if you feel alright at the moment, join us in the conference room." Was the last thing she said before turning around and leaving.
He wanted to ask where that was, but Solomon was kind enough to drop a map of the palace in his mind. A little too much information, but it was useful.
He navigated the halls, Mercury creating an arrow towards the destination inside his mind.
In the meantime; he looked around, his brain trying to register every single detail of the place. He’d been to Olympus before, but only as Marvel. When he had a bigger reason to be there, and he instinctually knew where everything was, nothing could surprise him in those moments.
Now everything surprised him. The halls were more like several open rooms, one next to the other. Ten people could be side to side, and they could still walk comfortably. There are also a lot of trash cans, not sure why they would need them tho.
Before he could open the door to the conference room; Mercury ran out of it, tackling him in a hug. He didn't even notice when he stopped being outside the room, and started being inside it.
In one couch was Solomon, beside him was probably Athena. Both were invested in their respective books, but no doubt noticed him. Hercules and Achilles were in another, playing some type of war board game; he honestly couldn't tell who was winning, maybe neither.
Atlas wasn’t there; an image of him holding the sky was pushed to the front of his mind, so that was probably why. Mercury and Hermes were playing some type of game so fast, it was like they weren't moving at all.
And he was seated between Zeus and Hera. They seemed ok with it, the lighting god picked him up and put him on their lap. “How are you feeling now, my champion?” They asked, petting his head.
“Better now, thank you.” He answered truthfully, he felt so much better.
“Are you going to tell him or are you stalling?” Mercury questioned. The king gave a low growl. “They were getting to that.” Hera answered for them.
He turned to the god with curiosity. They put him off their lap, and moved so they could see face to face. Hera moved so she was standing by their side, and pulled some paper from she knows where.
“Well, ...” They stalled, “we are having a baby.” That surprised him, he was somewhat sure they didn't have children since Diana and Donna, much less with their wife. But it was an eventuality. “Oh, congratu—” He was interrupted by Hera slamming the papers in front of him, “It’s you, sign here.”
It would be silent if not for Hercules, trying and failing to hold his laughter. But he was the only one laughing.
Solomon didn’t even pause his reading; Athena did but wasn’t showing any reaction, positive or negative; Achilles was taking advantage of Hercules distraction to cheat the game; Mercury and Hermes were jumping in place; and Atlas, inside his mind, was looking at the situation bored.
Hera had the same serious face as the moment she presented the documents; and Zeus wasn’t laughing, but blushing. So it wasn’t a joke; or the joke was how they told him and not what.
He probably looked like a fish out of water. “... Why?”
Solomon answered, to Zeus relieve, “Because of your situation, it puts you at risk. And you wouldn't accept being adopted by any ‘normal’ family because of your experiences, so this is the best we could come up with.”
He closed his book, “You won’t have to worry about being a homeless teen anymore. Olympus will always be open to you, for you to rest and for you to eat. You won’t have to worry about keeping heroism from your family, because they already know and support you. You won’t have to worry about CPS, the gods have their ways in the systems; you’ll be officially adopted.”
“And if the Justice League finds out, there’ll be nothing they can do about it.” That last part, admittedly, caught his attention more than the rest.
“Explain.”
“If you stay homeless, and they find out, they won’t stop until they make sure you find a home. Because they are ‘heroes’. If you find a human family, and they find out, they can tell them; about you being Captain Marvel, and get you grounded. Which would be detrimental to your position as Champion of Magic; and, therefore, all Magic.”
They met eyes. “But if you stay, they can’t do anything. They cannot take you away, we’ll always find you. They cannot ban you from heroism, we won’t let them, you’ll be a hero for as long as you want. And if they try to ‘kick you out’ or to put you in a different team or treat you different because of your age...”
Hermes completed the thought, “We have a lot of connections, we ARE connections. If they try to leave you without resources, we’ll leave them without help.”
“Okay, pause.” He stopped them from trying to convince him further, “I’m in with no needing to worry about rest, food, or the JL. HOWEVER,” he continued before Mercury could celebrate, “... The ‘leave them without help’, I’m not down with that. They are still heroes, they need the resources to help more people, so... Instead of ‘make it impossible for them to be heroes’, just ‘not help them if they ask’ and ‘leave them to get the resources by their own’? Please.”
He looked towards the god king, “You are too kind for your own good, Billy.”
“Wasn’t that a requirement for the Champion position?” He pointed out.
They sighed, “Fine. If they terminate your position as a teammate; downgrade you; or act different towards you, because of your identity, the Greek and Roman pantheons will cease any help towards them. Leaving them to their own resources.”
“That’s better. Now, where do I have to sign?”

Thank-you sentences for Ten; Billy adopts Conner and it actually goes pretty good! (( chrono || non-chrono ))
Billy, technically, is the kind of person that someone like Superman would literally never even notice when he’s not Captain Marvel. But he’s seen Superman notice exactly that kind of person more times than he can even count, and not say anything patronizing or pitying either to their faces or about them after, and it’s always . . .
He doesn’t really know how to explain what that feels like to Lynn, he thinks. The wisdom of Solomon is not necessarily, like, the “emotional intelligence” of Solomon. Or at least, not in a way where Billy can always figure out how to explain what he’s thinking to other people. And feelings are so subjective anyway, so–well, yeah. It just gets complicated, and Billy doesn’t even know if Lynn even understands what he’s feeling all that often yet, considering, much less what other people are. He’s still brand-new, and he still mostly just knows what he’s been told, and on top of that Cadmus mostly told him stupid shit, too.
A lot of stupid shit, it seems like.
“Important,” Lynn echoes, and then–frowns, a little. “But not ‘valuable’?”
“Like–everybody’s important,” Billy says, and shrugs again as he sets the plates on the counter next to the stove and starts scooping the veggies onto them. Though maybe he should’ve started with the salmon, because now there’s veggies rolling everywhere, so–shit, okay, this is fine, he can do this and still talk like, all reasonably and normally and stuff. “Not everybody’s got, I dunno, a net worth or a specialized skillset or super-helpful superpowers or anything like that. Or a price tag, I guess. Metaphorically and all.”
“Eight point two billion,” Lynn says abruptly, his voice clipped.
“Huh?” Billy wrinkles his nose at him. “What’s–?”
“Me,” Lynn says, still clipped. “Eight point two billion USD."

Pokémon x Captain Marvel
One of the fondest memories Billy has of his parents is one he will never forget.
His dad, C.C and Marilyn, his mom, had come home with a surprise.
C.C, cheerfully: “Billy, Mary! Come downstairs!”
Marilyn: “We have a surprise for you two!”
As the two eight year old twins sped down the stairs (still taking care to not trip), they saw the surprise- one of each of his parents arms.
C.C: “Do you two know what these are?”
Mary: “Is it.. an egg?”
Billy, who absolutely LOVES pokémon: “Are those pokémon eggs??”
Marilyn, chuckling: “Yes, yes, you're both right, dearies. These are your very own pokémon eggs.”
Billy and Mary, both over the moon: “REALLY?”
C.C: “Really. Now, how about we heat them up?”
Mary: “Yes, please!”
/ / /
Two weeks later, the eggs finally hatched.
Billy: “Mom? Dad! Something's happening to the eggs!”
Mary: “They're shaking!”
C.C and Marilyn, who came to check in and saw both eggs shaking, and cracked: “Oh!”
C.C: “They're hatching!”
Marilyn: “Quick, grab the camera!”
As C.C grabs the camera, both eggs finally hatch, revealing two very small Shinx.
Marilyn: “Oh, they're perfect, don't you think so sweethearts?”
Mary and Billy, who are looking at the kits like they hanged the moon in the sky: “Yes!!”
C.C, laughing at their enthusiasm: “Way to go, champs. I just know you will make great partners.”
The Shinx mew, looking up at their trainers.
/ / /
A year later, Billy's life goes downhill.
His parents pass away in a unfortunate plane crash while on a work trip, and Mary has gone missing.
His uncle, Ebenezer, took all his inheritance money, and threw him and his Shinx, now named Tawny, to the streets, making them homeless.
This year is also the year when itty bitty Billy becomes the champion of magic, blessed by the gods.
When he shouted the name of the wizard who gave him his connection to his patrons, he became a superhero, someone powerful, kind and to be looked up to- Captain Marvel.
And that is not all- the divine lighting that strikes Billy to transform him can also split, hitting Tawny, and turning him from a small little Shinx who only knows Spark, to a big and mighty Raikou, one of the most famous superhero pokémons of all time.
/ / /
Billy is 10 and looking at the sunset from one of the highest buildings in Fawcett city with Tawny when out of nowhere, they hear something land behind them.
Tawny, who was almost sleeping at being pet, startles, getting up along with Marvel to look behind them.
..Only to see Batman, and his terrifying Noivern. One of, if not THE most skillfull pokémon and trainer duo, ever.
Batman: “Captain Marvel, right?”
Marvel, still processing on why Batman is in Fawcett, and in the same rooftop as him: “Oh.. yes, right, Mr. Batman sir.”
Batman: “I've come to let you know that you are formally invited to the Justice League. You don't need to make an decision now, but-”
Marvel, with no hesitation: “Yes.”
Batman: “..Understood, we're glad to have you.”
Marvel, with the biggest smile ever: “Thank you for the invite!”
/ / /
Some days later, and he meets with the people he'd idolized basically his whole life.
Superman and his trusty Dragonite, the Flash and his Jolteon, Wonder Woman and her Aegislash.. the list goes on!
One day, at the watchtower (wow, he really did come far, didn't he? This is a whole space station!) that Billy realized some things-
Tawny is the only legendary pokémon in the team so far. And, as everybody knows, legendary pokémon are both extremely rare and hard to catch. Funnily enough, he never thought of a cover story to how he met Tawny.
GA, who some minutes ago was training with his Decidueye: “Hey, Cap?”
Marvel, who was petting Tawny, the big cat purring loudly: “Huh? Yes?”
GA: “How did you catch Raikou? Aren't those rare, since only Ho-ohs can create them?”
Marvel, internally blue screening: “Oh! Um. Yes. So.. Tawny just.. he chose me! Yeah. Came right up to me and clicked his head against the poké ball. Isn't that right, Tawny?”
Tawny, looking at Billy with a look that screams 'Really? That's what you came up with?': “Rai.”
(By the way, when the twins reunite, i think Mary's Shinx would turn into a Zeraora.)

The 7th
When the Wizard explained to Billy about his powers he forgot to mention that the Champion of Magic had a seventh patron who would manifest in his greatest moments of need. Although this one did not count as "official" since he was not exactly sharing his powers like the others.
So it's understandable that Billy would freak out at the new voice in his head telling him to steal a sandwich from one of the rude people on the subway.
Billy tried to argue with the voice about it since his parents had taught him all about good and evil but it had been a few days since his conversation with the Wizard Shazam and it had been weeks since his last decent meal other than leftovers. The Sandwich was packed and its owner wasn't paying attention, one little slip and he would have something in his stomach.
Solomon was very upset with the new voice, he was fully aware of who was talking and thought that he had left after the disaster with Adam but apparently the Ghost King had taken an interest in "The New Champion", Solomon had suspicions that it was because Billy was a kid.
The new voice introduced himself as "Phantom", he argued a lot with Solomon, didn't seem to have any moral and Zeus always muttered about his older brother's annoying best friend whenever he manifested. The boy did not know who the new God was but at least he gave good life advice. Or he liked to think so.
Phantom had many arguments with the other immortals, Hercules complained about his friendship with Kronos (which the boy found worrying but decided not to comment), Salomon about his recklessness, Atlas and Achilles bothered him constantly and Mercury kept challenging him to races. But it seemed that thanks to him everyone had become interested not only in helping Captain Marvel but also Billy!
Phantom even had a lot of good advices on being a young hero or keeping his secret from the League and for the first time since he got his powers Billy didn't feel so lost.
