I don't own any characters. Captain Marvel belongs to Disney and the MCU. Shazam! belongs to Warner Brothers and the DCEU.
As Carol Danvers flew into the air, she blindly looked for a place to land as she wondered How am I going to get home now? Those kids hate me. Are Fury, Talos, Maria and Monica okay? Are they worried about me? What about the Skrulls? Where will they go? Who will protect them from the Kree? Who will stop the Kree?
As she finished thinking, Carol landed on top of a large building and just sat there, trying to decide what she should do next. Little did she know that Team Shazam would soon need her help.
After Yon-Rogg had managed to free Dr. Sivanna and Mister Mind from prison, he explained everything to them. Once he was finished, Dr. Sivanna questioned "Let me get this straight, you're an alien from another dimension locked in a war with another set aliens who want to get rid of you and you're after this woman because she has been granted superpowers by a mystical device and has now turned against you?"
"I thought you would have a more open mind since you have a talking bug as your ally." Yon-Rogg replied.
"Hey! I'm more than just a talking bug! I've been around since the beginning of time! I've seen civilizations rise and fall!" Mister Mind fired back in anger.
Yon-Rogg gave him a smirk as he replied "Then, why haven't you had an encounter with my people yet?"
Mister Mind was about to start shouting again, but Dr. Sivanna interrupted with "We get it, but what do you need our help for?"
"Vers has met your enemy and, as they say on this planet, the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Yon-Rogg replied before he changed the subject with "You know where your enemy lives, do you not?"
Dr. Sivanna and Mister Mind smirked at that.
Back at the Vaquez household, all the children were talking about what had just happened.
"I can't believe she would let him fall to his death." Darla muttered in shock and disbelief.
"She could be an anti-Hero for all we know. Still, she didn't dress like one." Freddy added.
"And we didn't even come to a solution about how we're going to get social services off the backs of our foster parents?" Mary reminded the group.
"Still, is it really right that we turned away a fellow super hero?" Darla added.
"She tried to kill Dr. Sivanna." Billy pointed out to her.
Darla didn't look convinced, but she decided to let the matter drop.
With that, all the children started to try and think of ideas.
In the end, Billy decided let Mary go first as he asked "What's your idea?"
"I've been thinking it over and I think that only one of us should fight crime a day. The rest of us should focus on school and keeping things nice so that our parents don't get in trouble and don't suspect us of anything." Mary explained.
"Who gets which days?" Freddy inquired.
"How about Billy gets Sundays, Darla gets Mondays, Eugene gets Tuesdays, you get Wednesdays, I get Thursdays and Pedro gets Fridays. As for the weekends, one of us at a time will take turns fighting crime and will alternate between each weekend." Mary stated.
The children talked amongst themselves and agreed with Mary's plan.
After they decided on who would fight crime on which day, the children realized that they haven't heard from their parents all night.
Eugene was the first to break the silence with "Does it seem a little quiet to you?"
With that, the children decided to go looking through the house for their parents. However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find them.
"Where could they be?" Pedro wondered with worry.
Before any of the children could continue dwelling on the matter, Billy's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was their parents.
Billy answered the phone with "Hello? Is everything okay guys?"
"Bring the girl or your parents will get it." Dr. Sivanna replied on the other end. He must've placed the phone on speaker because Billy heard his foster parents crying out "What's going on? Who are you people? What do you want with our kids? Somebody help us!"
Billy felt his heart stop for a moment, before he reluctantly placed his phone on speaker. As soon as his foster siblings heard the frightened cries of their foster parents, some of them like Darla and Mary were on the verge of tears; while most of them had looks of disbelief and horror on their faces.
When Dr. Sivanna finally ended the call, Darla looked up at the group and tearfully asked "What are we going to do?"
Billy let out a reluctant sigh as he said "It looks like we have no choice but to find that woman."
Mary let out a gasp of shock as Freddy added "We can't just kidnap her and turn her over to the bad guys! That would make us just as bad as they are and we wouldn't be heroes anymore!"
As the rest of Team Shazam nodded in agreement, Billy said "I know, that's why we're going to find her and ask her for help in getting our parents back."
Freddy and the rest of Team Shazam smiled at that, the trouble was that none of them knew where to start.
Back in Philadelphia, Carol was exploring the city and learning about the it's history.
However, before she could continue to dwell on the matter, she heard Shazam call out "Carol! Carol, where are you? I'm sorry I yelled at you, but we need your help!"
The young super soldier thought to herself First he tells me to go, and then he changes his mind? He better have a good excuse for this.
As Carol spun around with a glare on her face, Shazam said "Dr. Sivanna and his friend escaped from jail. I think they met your enemy and now they got my parents!"
Carol felt as though she had been punched in the stomach and the only thing she could utter was "What?"
Everyone I know that this is hard, but we just need to stay safe and take care of each other.
Anyway, what do you think?
Please leave a review and I wish you and your families all the best.
