Chapter 5 Let him go
"RECOGNIZE ROBIN B01, KID FLASH B03, SUPERBOY B04, MISS MARTIAN B05, ARTEMIS B07" the computer announced the team's arrival.
"Robin, Kid Flash come with me, being the public sidekicks we need to do a PSA, The rest of you go get suited up, When Zatanna finds the conduit I want us all ready" Kaldur commanded. The teens nodded, they proceeded to follow orders.
"So what are you thinking?" Wally asked his comrade.
"We need to show, that the earth still has heros, and that there is still hope" Kaldur looked the screen typing in the access codes.
*Locker rooms*
Wally stared at his yellow and red costume fondly.
"Ya know,for the fastest teen in the world, you sure get dressed slow" Wally turned to the boy wonder. The younger of the two already dressed in his red and black uniform. His black sunglasses replaced by a domino mask.
" I just miss Uncle Barry, I admired Flash so much, that I replicated his formula, just to be like him, my parents were pissed but, I didn't care, I was a hero, now that's all gone" Wally sighed running a hand through his hair.
"Wally" Robin let out a deep sigh, he sat on the bench, motioning for the speedster to take a seat next to him. He took a seat next to his best friend, Robin concentrated, he strokes his chin before a look of clarity formed.
"Wally, everyone is feeling whelmed, but we're superheros, if anyone can find the adults it's us" Robin patted his back. Wally leaned into Robin, he turned to the younger boy planting a kiss on his cheek.
"Sorry" Wally looked away cheeks bright red.
"No um….it's cool heh heh" Robin nervously laughed.
"I'm gonna get dressed" Wally changed the subject, he felt his heart pounding against his chest.
"Yea, you do that" Robin sped walked out of the room.
*Guest room*
Artemis pulled her quiver over her shoulder, she entered the room seeing Zatanna. She had one her black blazer and yellow vest with her white blouse,bow tie and gloves she had grey tights and and black shorts.
"Are you okay?" The archer asked, truly concerned for her friend. Zatanna turned to her shocked, she didn't hear Artemis enter.
"Me? Psssh I'm fine" she chuckled to herself. Artemis gave her a look of pure disbelief.
"Fine I'm not fine, you guys are counting on me, but I don't know if I can perform the spell, I'm nowhere near my father's level" Zatanna quickly explained glad to get that off her chest.
"Z, relax, even if you can't locate it, we will find another way we always do" Artemis heart skipped a beat as the sorceress hugged her.
"You are so awesome" she hugged the archer tighter, Artemis hugged back after getting over her shock.
Within the next few hours so much was happening around the world. In Dakota City the superhero known as Rocket decided to use her abilities to save a bus full of young children. Barbara Gordon and Bette Kane were tending to kids at Gotham Academy. Inspired by the words of Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash to never give up. To take care of the younger kids, help anyone who needs it, help each other survive.
*Souvenir Room*
"How desperate are we?" Wally asked Kaldur, the two stared at the helmet of fate, they both knew, first hand what kind of power, it possessed. Both young heros have been Dr Fate for a short period of time, and both knew that if it's put on the user may never be free.
"Not that desperate not yet" Kaldur declared.
"Guys I'm ready to try" The two turned to the young sorceress. They nodded to one another, before walking to the briefing room. Robin, Superboy, Artemis and Miss Martian was already there. Robin was typing away on the holographic keypad.
"Okay here you go" he backed away as a holographic earth emitted from the projector. She took a deep breath and walked to the sphere. She pointed her wand and closed her blue eyes.
"Etacol retnecipe fo yrecros" she chanted, her voice echoing throughout the cave.
"Roanoke Island, you did it Z" Robin smiled at the older teen. She smiled back at him, shyly looking away.
*Meanwhile*
"We need a strategy before we reach Roanoke" Batman told Zatara.
"RECOGNIZED CAPTAIN MARVEL 15" the computer announced his arrival in the cave. The buff man flew into the cave, his eyes went wide seeing Batman and Zatara. A smile of glee formed on his lips.
"YOU'RE BACK" he cheered hugging the two heros tightly.
"Where's the team?" The Captain asked, he looked around expecting the kids to come out.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? DON'T YOU KNOW ALL THE KIDS IN THE WORLD ARE MISSING!?" Zatara called out agitated.
"Wait Giovanni, Where have you been?" Batman asked the man.
"In a world without grown ups, HOLY MOLY THERE ARE TWO WORLDS" Captain Marvel smiled excitedly.
"And you can travel between them?" Zatara asked curious.
"I think so, no I know so SHAZAM!" The hero screamed confidently, his voice echoing throughout the cave. A bolt of intense, blue, magical lightning came from the ceiling and struck him. His bulky frame, shrank into a smaller one, he lost height and muscle mass. His hair growing and becoming slightly messy. His red and yellow spandex, were replaced by a white tee-shirt, Jeans and a red hoody. He looked up noticing he no longer saw Batman and Zatara.
"It worked" he laughed to himself voice no longer deep, but high pitched. He turned seeing the team's shocked expressions.
"Who are you, how did you get in here?" Aqualad asked the 10 year old, confused by his appearance in the base.
"Read my mind" he said excitedly, he turned to M'gann, she looked shocked at his knowledge of her abilities. She quickly shook it off, a green glow covering her eyes.
"He's Captain Marvel" M'gann gasped, her the glow in her eyes dying down.
"Please M'gann, just because he believes he's Captain Marvel doesn't mean.." Wally started his sentence. Billy rolled his eyes annoyed by the teen.
"Seriously Wally,do I really need to bring you nachos to get on your good side?" Billy smirked as the ginger instantly shut up.
The team stared at the ten year old, confusion written all over their faces.
