Chapter 102: To Become A Leader
"You must decide what to do Kal El." Zeus said. "Either you kill Billy Batson and we shall all leave, or you don't and I will destroy you."
Clark looked at Zeus, the man's eyes were brimming with lightning, then he looked at Billy, or Shazam, they had wreaked havoc, Titans tower was a ruin, the people were either knocked down or unconscious.
"Why?" He asked. "Why has it come to this?"
"To be a true God, you must sacrifice those you hold dear. I gave a son for this." Zeus replied.
The truth behind what Zeus had just told him had just begun to sink in when he heard someone groan behind him. If he didn't do this then it was over, the Gods would take command and there would be no peace. He had seen that in the vision that Zatanna had put in his head.
Billy groaned. Clark looked at him and saw the boy not the demi-god, and sighed. Billy looked as if he were about to speak, Clark hurriedly put his hand over the boy's mouth, he hated himself as he saw Billy's eyes widen. "I'm sorry Billy." Clark said as his eyes heated up.
Billy went limp in his arms then, Clark let him go, looked at Zeus and said. "I've done what you wanted, now fuck off." Zeus nodded clicked his fingers and then he and the Gods disappeared.
"What happened?" Diana asked.
Clark looked at her and then nodded to Billy. "It was the only way to resolve this."
Diana looked at him then at Billy and then said. "I'm sorry."
Clark nodded, and closed his eyes. "Let's get out of here." He didn't want to be here anymore, Constantine and Zatanna were likely gone, as were the others. Bruce needed the hospital, and Barry was gone after Captain Atom. Hal was wherever he was.
"Okay." Diana said. She picked up Billy's tiny body and together they left the Tower.
