"Way to go, Billy." Lady Gothika approved.

"You're coming along nicely, kid," Bat-Mite replied as he changed back to Lionel. "So maybe somebody owes us an apology?"

"What did I do now?" Midnight Moon asked.

"No, not you!" Lionel remarked. "Freddy!"

"Huh?" Freddy asked.

The Toon Force changed back to normal and gave him a collective glare.

"Ohh..." Freddy said. "Uh, sorry I made fun of you guys... I was actually kinda jealous."

"Jealous?" Cherry asked. "Really?"

"Yeah," Freddy replied. "You guys were chosen to hang out with The Justice League while I was just some dopey kid with crutches. Do you know how lucky you are and amazing it would be to be on a superhero team like you guys?"

"Well... It's pretty tough, honestly," Thor replied. "And pretty mentally and emotionally taxing."

"It's still pretty cool," Freddy said. "Uh, you won't tell Saiyaman what I said about him, will ya?"

"Let's just say if you happen to run into him should we ever meet him again, you owe him a big apology," Cherry advised. "I don't take kindly to when people insult him."

"...Is he your boyfriend?" Freddy asked.

Cherry then suddenly cupped her mouth as her cheeks puffed out with sickly tears in her eyes as she let out a nauseated groan.

"Just saying..." Freddy shrugged. "You were oddly defensive of him."

Cherry then gulped down to get rid of the sick feeling. "He's like my brother," she then explained in a raspy voice. "But if we ever meet again, you are going to apologize to him or I will haunt your nightmares." she then threatened sharply.

"Besides, we're her boyfriends." Thor said as he held Lionel on his shoulder.

"Don't question it too much, you'll strain your brain." Lionel added.

Freddy let out a sound and grunt before shrugging and shaking his head. "So, uh, you guys know what this place is, right?" he then asked the others once they got that all sorted out.

"A dark haunted cave with demon statues?" Darla shrugged.

"Well, yes, but also-" Freddy began.

"Lair!" Billy realized out of excitement. "We got a lair!"

"Lair." Mary smiled in amusement.

The siblings all then cheered and laughed happily once they had their very own superhero lair.

"Yeah. We got a lair." Freddy beamed.

"...What's a lair?" Darla soon asked out of confusion.

"Uh, pretty much a hang-out spot for you to meet as heroes and plan against villains," Cathleen replied. "I consider my bedroom to be a lair."

"Oh, okay then." Darla then said.

"Well, I think you guys have got it handled here," Lionel stated. "Glad we could help you out!"

Billy smiled warmly at his siblings as this was the beginning of something wonderful and new.


Later on...

"And thanks to six superheroes and The Toon Force, the young helpers of The Justice League, citizens are back in their homes safe again with their families," A newswoman reported with a smile at the sight of the Christmas carnival for the next morning. "And here with an eyewitness account of the events-"

"It was (bleep)ing crazy, man!" Santa cried out as he rushed over and swiped the microphone, having a bit of a mental breakdown. "Creatures from (bleep)ing Hell! Lightning coming out of everyone's (bleep)in' everything! And that is not (bleep)ing cool, man! I'm tired of it!"

The TV soon clicked off as Atticus and Mo were in a hotel room together, sitting on the bed.

"Man, a lot of crazy things happen in this world." Atticus said to Mo as he turned off the TV with the remote.

"Tell me about it," Mo said as she nuzzled up to him. "Makes me glad we have each other and our friends."

"That's for sure~" Atticus smirked as he began to cuddle back with her.


The next day at school, Freddy was sitting by himself at lunchtime, but somehow, now that he'd helped save the world, it didn't feel as important to him as it once had. Cherry, Cathleen, Lionel, and Thor checked on Freddy to make sure he would be alright as he began to slowly change, even if no one really wanted to sit with him at the cafeteria.

"What are you doin'?" Burke smirked as he passed by Freddy, taking a fry off of his tray and ate it. "Waiting for your imaginary BFF to show up?"

Freddy just sighed as he was about to eat his lunch until his table was suddenly filled with his foster siblings. "What are you guys doing here?" he then asked.

"Well, we're having lunch with you." Mary replied.

"But you guys have different lunch periods." Freddy reminded.

"Well, we made a very special arrangement." Mary explained.

Darla looked around innocently off that reply.

"Darla, what's going on?" Freddy demanded as he suspected something.

"Why are you asking me?" Darla asked innocently.

"Freddy Freeman!" Billy called out as he soon came into the cafeteria in his superhero form as everyone else grew shocked. "This guy taught me everything I know about being a dope superhero," he then told the students before he sat down next to Freddy. "True story, you should get some pointers from him. What's going on, my best bud in the whole world? And also new kids that I'm meeting for the first time, but seem very cool. Uh, I invited another friend, I hope that's okay." he then added.

Atticus soon came over to Cherry, Cathleen, Lionel, and Thor.

"What're you doing here?" Cathleen asked him.

"Wait for it." Atticus smiled innocently.

Just then, a familiar tune began to play as the students turned to see Superman himself, holding a lunch tray and coming over to the table. "Did I miss lunch?" he asked.

Freddy's jaw practically hit the ground. Atticus smiled calmly once he saw Superman while the rest of the Toon Force glanced at him.

"Guess that was your doing, Superboy?" Cathleen asked Atticus.

"Yep!" Atticus smiled. "Good to see you guys again. I've missed you."

"And we missed you too, buddy," Thor replied. "We can head back to my place, but hopefully after lunch."

"Sure, Thor, after lunch." Atticus chuckled.

"So does this mean I can join you guys?" Cathleen asked.

"It's up to Drell," Cherry replied. "He'll watch your performance and rank you to see if you're good to go or not."

"I hope I did alright," Cathleen said. "I had to go through hardcore training with him in order to come here in the first place... Even though I'd found out that Power Girl is my aunt... Plus he said he could sense some magical DNA in me somewhere." she then added.

"I suppose we'll find out when the time comes." Mo replied.

"Mo." The others greeted.

"Hey there," Mo smiled. "Hope you guys didn't have too much fun without us."

"Maybe just a little bit," Thor smirked. "At least Freddy learned his lesson."

"And became a better person for it!" Lionel added.

The group then decided to eat their lunch before they decided it would be time to go back home after another big and epic adventure had come and gone for them. And they returned home, knowing that the power of Shazam was definitely in good hands.


"Well, kids, that was really interesting, wasn't it?" Drell asked once he saw them all in his office. "Sorry you missed most of that, Atticus and Mo."

"That's okay, we had other commitments anyway." Mo reassured.

"So am I in the Justice League and Toon Force?" Cathleen asked hopefully.

"I'll let you know when I made my choice after your next big mission." Drell replied.

"...Which will be...?" Atticus prompted, hoping he would actually say instead of just making them guess.

"Sorry, no spoilers," Drell smirked. "You'll find out later."

"Oh, come on!" Cathleen complained. "I didn't move into this town just to play guessing games!"

"Don't make me turn you into a toad," Drell warned as he rolled his eyes at her threats. "I can tell you have a lot of fire in your heart. You almost remind me of a very young Hilda Spellman."

"Well, that's fine with me," Mo replied. "After all, you've only had one adventure."

"So hopefully you do better on the next one." Lionel added.

"Whatever it is." Cathleen shrugged.

"You'll find out later, but good job either way," Drell replied. "Just watch that attitude of yours. You remind me of a Lycan."

"Isn't she part werewolf or something?" asked Thor.

"That must be what I'm sensing," Drell smirked as he leaned over. "Cuz none of you are actually human... Except for Mo, though I'm not exactly sure what she is."

"Maybe she's a tree nymph." Cherry smirked back.

Mo glanced over, not sure how to react to that smart remark.

"So a Lycan and a werewolf are the same thing?" Thor asked.

"Yeah," Cathleen rolled her eyes. "Lycan's an old-fashioned term, my dad taught me that."

"Well, alright then," Lionel replied. "I think most of everything has been wrapped up for this one."

"All right, now go, go on, beat it!" Drell dismissed them as they walked out of his office.


The kids then began to leave as Hilda was shown to be in the foggy waiting room as she played on her phone.

"You stupid birds..." Hilda muttered as she played on her phone. "I'll show you what angry looks like..."

"Hilda?" Cherry asked. "What're you doing here?"

"Uh, I broke one of the Other Realm rules and I need to be punished in person?" Hilda grinned innocently.

Lionel shrugged. "...Somehow I don't actually believe that."

Hilda soon got up and pushed them out the other door back into the Mortal Realm.

"Hey! No pushing!" Cathleen complained.

Hilda then leaned on the door after shutting it as thunder and lightning came from the other side.

"Oh, Hilda?~" Drell's voice called. "I think you and I have to have a talk~"

Hilda then giggled impishly as she skipped over to his office door and opened it before shutting it behind her and began to jump out at him. The kids soon made it back home on top of each other and soon got up to do something else after another new adventure came to an end. Either way, it was definitely the start of something new, but for now, it was The End.
