It'd be great if you could imagine Billy's family from the movie as animated characters from Young Justice. (Also, Billy has the same personality and appearance as he did in Young Justice.) This takes place about a week after he meets his family.

Of course, Freddie would be the first to discover his new brother is a wizard.

This was so much fun to write!

I don't own anything. Enjoy!

[September 29th: 1:04am]

11 year old Billy Batson practiced magic on his bedroom floor while Freddie gazed in wonderment. Billy tried to ignore him.

Wizard spellcasting required absolute focus or the spells just weren't effective. Billy wrote the Arkanian symbol for cold in the air with two fingers. The blue sparkling symbol looked very cool but didn't activate until he circled it and tapped it with his palm. There was a clicking sound as it was activated.

A chilly wind blew snowflakes around the room. Freddy gave a muffled squeal of excitement.

Billy moved on to the next spell.

"Billy…" Freddy interrupted.

Billy sighed for the upteenth time. "Yes, Freddy?"

"I just want you to know that this is the single greatest moment of my life." He said.

"Okay." Billy answered. He tried not to be irritated at his roommate, but his patience was wearing thin after two hours of questions. He went back to his studies.

Not five minutes later... "Billy," Freddie began.

Billy's concentration was broken and his flame spell almost caught his sleeve on fire.

"Yes, Freddie?" He answered.

"If the bad wizards can track you, why aren't they here yet?" Freddie asked.

"I put a magic concealment spell on this room. That's why I only practice magic here, and only while our foster parents are sleeping." Billy answered.

Billy waited a few moments to see if Freddie was going to ask another question. He didn't seem to be ready to, so Billy got back to work.

"Billy?"

"Okay, but this is going to be the last question." Billy said, his annoyance slipping into his voice. Freddie didn't seem to notice.

"Do you think I could be a wizard someday?"

"Probably not. Sha-" Billy stopped himself just in time, "I mean, 'The Wizard', is the only wizard left, as far as I know."

"That's sad, but also kinda like, super cool."

Billy was sure Freddie wouldn't be able to keep quiet, so he focused completely on the task at hand and shut out the outside world.

Someone poked him in the cheek - once, twice, three times.

Billy came back to the real world. Freddie was poking him. Billy took a deep breath.

"Do you want me to be done, Freddie?" He asked.

"No, no. You need to practice so you can use your awesome wizard powers to stop an evil bad guy from taking over the universe," He leaned in so close that Billy could feel his breath on his face. "Which is totally awesome by the way."

Billy resigned himself to the fact that he wasn't going to get any more done that night. He put away the book and headed to bed. He just hoped Freddie wouldn't try to take a blood sample in the middle of the night.

"Billy," Freddie started.

Billy gave a slightly exasperated sigh. "Yes, Freddie."

"You can't change back into Shazam anymore, so why won't you say his name?"

Billy chose not to answer. He rolled over and went to sleep while Freddie kept talking.

Sazam family bonding ideas would be VERY welcome!
