Harry James Potter glared at his crying friends as he was led away in chains before a portkey was thrust into his chest and his next sight was the stormy skyline through the bars of a cell in Azkaban. Suddenly his physical features began to blur and then faded away revealing that he was now in perfect physical condition and had a decent amount of muscle, his hair was slicked back and his glasses were gone showing that his emerald green eyes were glowing slightly in the dark prison cell and finally his ears where now slightly pointed.
Why was he in prison you might ask, because the corrupt ministry charged him with breaking into a government building and destroying hundreds of prophecies, this was made possible because Lucius Malfoy bought his way out of any trouble and with some gold exchanging hands got things moving and set him up to be sent to Azkaban.
His so-called friends, they didn't even defend him during his sham of a trial, they just kept their mouths shut to protect themselves, some friends they were, and now here he was in Azkaban.
"Are you just going to stand there and do nothing?"
Harry shook his head and turned to the ghostly person that appeared behind him, the man was taller than himself and his features were strikingly similar to Harry's including the black hair and pointed ears, but the man wore a skin tight black outfit with a large golden lightning bolt on his chest "No father I have no intention of doing nothing."
The man nodded, this man was the infamous Black Adam, how this came to be, when his mother was in her teen years the villain known as Felix Faust attacked the Village of Hogsmeade sensing many magical people, his father Black Adam had been tracking Faust and for some reason saved his mother, and from then on his mother Lily was in love with Black Adam, over the years as she grew his father returned to keep an eye on her, but eventually once she was of age they spent the night together, and then his father told her that he couldn't return and told her to try and find a normal man to love, but that night he was conceived "Good, then destroy this place and come to me, we must continue your training."
Harry nodded and began to levitate of the floor of his cell, he grinned as he heard the lightning above the dark prison "SHAZAM!"
The bolt of lightning came down form the dark skies and tore through the prison above him and as soon as it hit him there was an explosion of great magnitude that completely destroyed the stone fortress of Azkaban. Harry grinned as he still stayed levitating at the same height that he cell was at, he looked around at the massive crater that used to be an island which was quickly filling with the ocean leaving no trace that an island ever existed.
Harry looked down at himself and found that he was now wearing a black tee shirt with his father's lightning bolt emblem on his chest, under that was a white long sleeved shirt, he also had on a pair of blue jeans and a pair of dark sneakers "Not what I was expecting but I guess it works."
The son of Teth-Adam grinned as he shot into the sky at high speeds and flew upwards towards space, he stopped just before he began to exit the earth's atmosphere and looked down at the planet below him "Amazing, truly beautiful."
"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself handsome."
Harry turned and came face to face with a girl his age with blue eyes and long black hair that came down to just below her shoulders, wearing a single piece skin tight outfit, black on her legs with a single silver star on each hip, red on her feet and chest with a silver stylized W symbol he recognised as the super heroine Wonder Woman's emblem "Do you always sneak up on people?"
The girl smiled at him "I try, I'm Wonder Girl, who are you?"
Harry turned back to look down at the planet "I guess you can call me Kid-Adam for now."
"Kid-Adam? Do you mean like Black Adam?"
The now named Kid-Adam nodded "He's my father. How about you, you related to Wonder Woman?"
Wonder Girl nodded with a smile "Yeah, she's my big sister, I didn't know Black Adam had a son?"
Harry nodded "No one else does, I shouldn't have told you."
Wonder Girl floated around him so they were face to face again and he could see the playful smile on her face "You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone if you ask me nicely."
Harry quirked an eyebrow, but he wasn't the same insecure boy he was when he was younger, he was now a confident young man, he floated right up close to her so his well-built chest was almost touching her well-developed breasts and he could see her blush slightly "I would be forever grateful to you if you would keep my secret."
Wonder Girl blushed slightly but nodded, Harry smiled at her and kissed her hand before he began to drop back towards earth but was stopped by the dark-haired girl as her lasso wrapped around his chest and arms "Wait, I'll keep your secret if you do something for me."
Harry turned and floated back up to her "What? Are you blackmailing me?"
Wonder Girl shook her head as her lasso slacked and released him "No, just asking, see there is this dance at my school next Friday and I need a date, all the boys at school are far too pushy and won't take no for an answer, so I figure I show up with a cute guy like you and they'll back of."
Harry tilted his head from side to side as he thought about it for a moment before nodding with a sigh "Fine, where and when?"
Wonder Girl smiled at him "Great, next Friday, meet me outside the Gym in Metropolis Junior High at six pm, and it's dressy casual."
Kid-Adam nodded "Fine, I'll be there."
The amazon looked at him carefully for a moment "You promise?"
Harry sighed "Yeah I swear I'll be there."
Wonder Girl smiled at him and floated up to him and kissed him on the cheek "Great, see ya then Kid-Adam."
Harry sighed as he watched Wonder Girl fly away "What have I gotten myself into?"
…
Harry swooped down into the stone palace in Kahndaq where his father was sitting in the large stone throne waiting for him "What kept you my son?"
Harry sighed "I flew around for a bit, that's all father."
Black Adam watched his son closely and noticed his only tell. The only way to tell that Harry was lying was the almost unseen twitch of his right ring finger "What aren't you telling me?"
Harry didn't answer right away and his father moved behind him at super speeds and kicked him through a wall bringing the stone down on him and kicking up dust, Harry climbed out of the crumbled wall and coughed as dust still filled the air "Okay, I meet someone" seeing his father's intense gaze Harry talked "Wonder Girl, she caught me by surprise and when she asked me my name I told her to call me Kid-Adam. She asked if we were related and I said you were my father, she's agreed to keep my secret if I take her to her school dance and I agreed. I'm sorry father."
Black Adam shook his head "It can't be helped, just don't make such mistakes in the future."
Harry nodded as he got back to his feet "I won't. What should I do about Wonder Girl?"
His father shook his head "I leave that to you, I will not fight your fights nor solve your problems for you."
Harry nodded "I understand, I gave her my word that I would be there, as much as I wish not to go and remain a secret I will not break my promise."
Black Adam nodded with a smile of approval on his face which his son saw and grinned before the small smile vanished "Now to begin your training." Harry nodded and before the young man could react his father delivered a strong blow to his chest sending him skywards.
…
Harry sighed as he walked down the streets of Metropolis, his appearance back to a normal black haired teenager wearing simple jeans and a shirt, he had been given some time from his training by his father to prepare for the dance he was to accompany Wonder Girl to tomorrow night, his father had some bank accounts set up in the world for him to access when he needed some money, so here he was heading into a clothing store to find something to wear.
He looked around the mall for a while, going through the clothing stores picking up dress pants and shoes, he grabbed a green button up shirt which the sales lady said matched his eyes and then moved on, he grabbed a slice of pizza from the food court and stood there against the railing to the third floor.
He looked around and a TV in a store window on the second floor caught his eye, using his magically superior senses he was able to watch the news report about a fire in Cadmus labs, and how Robin the boy wonder, Kid Flash and Aqualad arrived to help out. He watched the newscast for a little while until they exited the building with a teenage version of Superman with them wearing a white solar suit "Interesting, better tell father about this."
Once he had finished his pizza slice he began to make his way through the mall to the exit and then made his way around to a deserted alleyway "Shazam!" A bolt of lightning struck him and he was once more wearing his own casual looking Black Adam outfit and took to the sky at high speeds.
The next day was spent nervously pacing around the stone palace much to his father's amusement "You should calm down."
Harry gripped his hair and shook his head "I don't understand why I am so nervous!"
Teth-Adam chuckled as he son began to panic "Tell me do you find this girl attractive?"
Harry slumped down into the smaller throne next to his father's "Yes, her hair is smooth as silk, and her eyes, that are like two flawless sapphires, he body is like that of a goddess which is appropriate since she is an amazon."
Teth shook his head "Is that it, you are only attracted to her physical appearance."
Harry shook his head "No, she's kind and honest, she has a good heart, she has so much good to do for the world that she shouldn't be anywhere near someone with as much darkness in their heart as I do. Why do I feel this way father?"
The older male sighed "I felt that way only once before, my wife" seeing the look his son gave him he continued "Don't misunderstand me, I cared for your mother greatly, but what I had with her couldn't compare to what I shared with Shiruta."
Harry sighed "What do you think I should do?"
Teth-Adam sighed "I cannot tell you what to do my son, life is a journey, making mistakes and learning from them is part of the journey, now prepare yourself" Harry looked over at his father as he called out "SHAZAM!" Black Adam moved fast and let the lightning bolt called down strike his son who was struck directly in the chest.
…
Harry landed on the roof of the metropolis junior high gymnasium and then dropped to the ground wearing the clothes he purchased yesterday. He walked around to the front entrance to the gym with his hands in his pockets. He looked around at all the regular school kids all milling about and chatting.
"I'm glad you made it."
Harry turned slightly and had to stop himself from staring, Wonder Girl was wearing a simple knee length white skirt and thigh high boots, a studded belt around her waist and a blue blouse that only showed of a small amount of cleavage, she had only a small amount of lipstick on and her long black hair was pulled back into a high ponytail leaving only a single bang of hair to hand over the left side of her face "Wow."
Wonder Girl smiled "I'll take that as a compliment."
Harry shook his head "Sorry, you look amazing."
Wonder Girl looked him up and down and smiled, he was wearing a simple pair of dress slacks and simple black dress shoes, a green button up short sleeved shirt which showed of his toned chest was tucked into his pants which were held up by a simple black leather belt "You clean up good yourself."
Harry blushed slightly but smiled "So shall we get going Wonder Girl."
Wonder Girl nodded "sure, but don't call me that, my name is Donna, Donna Troy."
Harry nodded "Sure, my name is Harry, Harry Potter."
Donna smiled at his he held out his hand which she took "So shall we head inside?" Harry nodded and headed inside with Donna walking next to him.
…
Harry found himself smiling as he and Donna were flying about above the Atlantic ocean, both of them still in their casual clothes having just left the dance "I see you're having fun."
Harry looked at Donna as she flew around him in circles "I guess I am,"
"You sound surprised?"
Harry shrugged as he floated with his back just above the water and his hands behind his head "Maybe a little."
Donna floated just above him facing him "Don't you ever just get out and have fun?"
Harry shook his head "Not really, my life is one struggle after another. It has always been forced on me though."
Donna nodded "So are you a hero or a villain, because your dad seems to switch between the two."
Harry sighed and looked up into her eyes "I'm still just trying to find my place in the world, at the moment I guess I'm just another second generation super human who's trying to figure out who he is. Not all of us find our place in the world as easily as you did."
Donna smiled at him and shocked him when she raised her hand to his face and cupped his cheek "You speak like you've seen hell. You're lost."
Harry frowned slightly before he accelerated across the surface of the ocean leaving her behind as he yelled "I'm not lost, and you have no idea what hell is!"
Donna took off after him "Harry wait up!" Donna struggled to catch him "Wait Harry what did I say?" Harry stopped suddenly and Donna almost flew right into him "Are you alright?"
Harry shook his head "I'm sorry, I just" he was cut off as Donna hugged him from behind "What?"
Donna shook her head "It's okay, guess I over stepped the boundaries of our relationship huh?"
Harry turned his head to see her out of the corner of his eye "Relationship?"
Donna smiled as she flew so they were face to face again "Yeah, I had a fun evening, and this was technically a date, I just got this feeling when we met and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing where this goes" Harry looked shocked and all he could do was nod as he looked at Donna's smiling face "This is the part where you kiss me Harry."
…
Harry grinned as he waited just outside Donna's school for her, and as she passed him he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled him into his chest "Hey."
Donna smiled as she leaned into her new boyfriend "What are you doing here?"
"Had to get away from my dad, I don't want him to find out about us just yet."
Donna nodded "I haven't told my sister yet either, guess me both have some family issues huh."
Harry smiled sadly "Yeah, problem is our families are different from most."
"True, so what do you want to do?"
Harry grinned "How about a movie, I've always wanted to go."
Donna looked back at him as they walked along "You've never been to the movies before?" at Harry's nod she frowned "How come?"
"My family on my mother's side weren't exactly thrilled to have someone like me living in their home, I still don't know why they even took me in when they hate both me and my mother."
Donna could sense how much talking about this hurt him so she changed the subject "So what kind of movie do you want to see, action, horror, romance?"
Harry shook his head "I bow to your superior expertise in this subject."
Donna grinned and grabbed his hand and led him towards the movie theatre "Alright, then let's start with a horror movie, the newest Resident Evil just came out and I want to see it, the perfect blend of action and horror."
…
"So what did you think?"
Harry smiled as he exited the cinema with his arm around Donna's shoulder "It was good, I probably have to see the first three to understand it better but it was still good."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, want to get something to eat?"
Harry looked down at her and nodded "Sure, how about Chinese?"
Donna smiled "Sounds good to me."
But before they made it more than half way down the street there was a large explosion several city blocks away, Harry sighed and smiled at Donna who looked conflicted "Well, what are you waiting for?" Donna looked up at him as he stood more than a head taller than her "Get in there and save the day."
Donna smiled and reached up and kissed his cheek before she ran down an alleyway and moments later he saw Wonder Girl take of upwards above the buildings and fly towards the large flames which could be seen from his current location. Harry turned to walk away but found himself unable to, he sighed before he ran into the same alleyway Donna had "SHAZAM!"
Kid-Adam flew to the scene of the explosion and saw Wonder Girl trying to put out the flames so she could get into the apartment complex, so he flew right past her at the building surprising her, he then used his super strength and super speed to create a shockwave of air by clapping his hands, the blast of air hit the fire and snuffed out most of it.
Kid-Adam turned back to Wonder Girl "Well what are you waiting for, get in there hero."
Wonder Girl smiled at him and flew inside the building through a broken window, as she did Kid-Adam flew around helping to put out the remaining flames around the building, but as he flew around the building he was suddenly attacked from behind and send crashing into the street below sending people running about screaming.
Kid-Adam glared up at the girl who struck him and recognised her immediately "Mary Marvel, what the hell is your problem?"
Mary Marvel back at him as she floated above him "Don't play innocent with me Black Adam!"
Kid-Adam scowled and rushed her catching her by surprise as he shoulder checked her and threw her down the street "Stupid girl!" he rushed after her but before he made it very far he was attacked again, but this time by someone much larger, he looked up as a large fist was buried in his stomach and was the only thing keeping him upright "Captain Marvel?"
"Who are you, you look like Black Adam?"
Harry groaned as he was dropped to his knees "You and you sidekick attack me without provocation and you expect me to answer you. Go to hell Marvel!"
Captain marvel shook his head but before he could do anything Black Adam came rushing from nowhere and slammed into Captain Marvel and began to slam his fists into the superhero's chest with great force "Leave my son be, if you want to start a fight then fight me!"
"You're his son?"
Harry glared as he got back to his feet "That's right, call me Kid-Adam. "
Before Mary Marvel could respond to his hostile tone Harry attacked and began to punch her in the stomach repeatedly "You started this fight! Now I'm going to finish it Marvel!"
Kid-Adam threw her to the ground where she laid holding her stomach but looked up at him with a scared look on her face, Harry sighed and turned "Consider yourself lucky, next time don't attack me if you aren't prepared to fight."
Harry took off towards where his father was fighting Captain Marvel but before he could reach them he was struck from behind and the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was a streak of red and blue and he knew that the Man of Steel had arrived.
…
Donna flew down to the ground and set down the young boy she pulled from the building, the boy thanked her and then ran to his mother, she looked around expecting to find Kid-Adam standing of to the side feeling awkward but there was no sign of him so she flew over to a police officer "Excuse me, have you seen the guy who put out the majority of the flames?"
The cop nodded "Yeah Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel arrived to deal with him."
Donna's eyes widened before she took of upwards looking for them and when she spotted Black Adam fighting Captain Marvel she flew in their direction, but as she flew she spotted Harry down below get struck from behind by Superman knocking him unconscious. Once Superman passed and headed to help Captain Marvel she dropped down to her secret boyfriend and tried to wake him.
"Get up Kid-Adam" She smiled he woke with a groan and held his head "You ok?"
Harry shook his head "No, first I get attacked for no reason by the Marvel's and then I get blindsided by Superman, is this how you heroes fight?" Donna shook her head but Harry kept going "If this is how you heroes fight then I don't want to be one."
"No it's not like that! Please just let me talk to them we can solve this peacefully!"
Harry shook his head and then took off towards his father and slammed into Superman from behind and tried to knock him away from his father, but he knew it wouldn't work so as superman turned to face him he yelled "SHAZAM!" and then backed away rapidly letting the mystic lightning bolt strike superman in the chest.
As Superman crashed into the street below and Captain Marvel was distracted by watching as the Man of Steel fell both he and his father took off at high speeds away from there and Harry knew he was in trouble when he was forced to tell his father everything, and when he learned of his sons secret relationship with Wonder Girl he wasn't very happy.
…
Teth-Adam sighed as he threw his son through several stone houses "You're an idiot my son."
Harry flew out of the rubble at high speeds aiming to land a punch on his face but his father easily saw it coming and dodged at the last moment before he kneed his son in the stomach using his own momentum against him "And once again just like with her you're acting without thinking. Did you think for one second of the consequences of your actions?"
"What are you talking about, what consequences?"
Teth-Adam grabbed his son by the collar of his shirt and lifted him so they were face to face "Think! What happens if you chose not to live the life of a hero, and the two of you are forced into combat, what if your relationship is discovered, do you think that her mentor and the rest of the League will just accept it. All you have done it set yourselves up for disaster and heartbreak!"
"Just because it happened to you doesn't mean that it will happen to me!"
Teth-Adam shook his head as he threw his son to the ground "Until you are willing to listen to me, leave and don't come back."
Harry looked up at his father in shock "Father?" But Teth-Adam turned and walked away leaving his son to his misery.
…
Harry was a wreck as he flew around Metropolis looking for Donna, he didn't find her, she found him and she wasn't alone he realised when two lasso's wrapped around him pinning his arms to his sides "Donna?"
Donna looked upset as she stood just behind her sister and mentor Wonder Woman "So you're Black Adam's son?"
Harry turned back to Donna "You told her?"
Donna looked down but nodded as her sister spoke up "Yes Donna told us all about you."
"Why did you betray me?"
Donna looked even more upset as tears began to fall from her eyes as she shook her head and took of flying away from them leaving Harry alone with Wonder Woman and like his father predicted a broken heart, he was expecting to be taken in to the Justice League so he used his strength to pull her along after him as he flew at high speeds in and out of buildings throughout Metropolis, she held on for a while but not soon enough did the Lasso slacken and he managed to escape and fly away at high speeds and never looked back.
…
Harry sat as still as a statue on top of one of the many tall rooftops of Gotham City in his mortal form, he knew that he was running a risk of having a run in with the Batman but he figured that was better than another run in with Superman or the Marvel's. Since his father sent him away he flew around for a while, he lost track of time not having to eat or sleep and when he stopped flying he found himself above Gotham so he decided to hang around for a while.
"Leave me alone!"
Harry stirred when he heard the terrified female voice, the voice was young, most likely around his age. He wanted to simply ignore it but a scream of pure fear made him act, he dropped from the building he was sitting on and accessed his powers even though he wasn't transformed, so he couldn't fly at incredible speeds but he could levitate himself.
He descended down to just above street level and looked around down all the alleys as he flew past them until he heard the sound of the girl crying, then the sound of ripping clothes, another scream followed by the sound of flesh hitting flesh "Shut up whore!"
Harry's eyes narrowed as he took an educated guess as to what was about to happen, but not if he had anything to say about it, he flew down the alleyway and found them, some homeless looking thug with a knife was standing over a young girl, the girl was beautiful in his opinion, she had blue eyes and long hair which from his current light looked to be a mixture between blonde and brown, like it couldn't make up its mind. Her shirt was ripped exposing her creamy flesh and her breasts which were now only covered by her white bra, she was holding her arms over her chest and she had a handprint on her left cheek.
Harry rushed in and tried to grab the thug but as he did the thug was alerted to his presence by the sound of sirens, the man turned to look down the alley and saw Harry floating towards him.
"What the fuck!" the thug grabbed the girl who was crying and looking at him with a hopeful look in her eyes as the thug held the knife to her neck "Back up you freak!"
"Please help me!"
"Shut up bitch!"
Harry glared at the thug but spoke to the girl "Everything is going to be alright, what's your name?"
The thug was getting angry as the girl replied "Stephanie, Stephanie Brown."
"Stop ignoring me freak, get the hell out of here!"
Harry glared at the thug "Let Stephanie go now or else I'll kill you."
The thug began to panic but still tried to mouth his way out of this "You hero's don't have the guts to kill someone, now back up!"
"That's where you're wrong, I'm no hero. Expelliarmus" the thug was shocked when the knife flew from his hands but before he could do anything Harry rushed him and landed a solid punch to the guys face sending him crashing backwards and the girl fell into his arms crying.
"Thank you!"
Harry smiled slightly "Hey no need to thank me, are you alright?"
Stephanie shook her head into his chest "No."
Harry nodded "Sorry, that was a stupid question, come on let's get you to a hospital and get you checked out to make sure you're physically ok."
Stephanie nodded as she stepped back slightly but still holding onto him, but the next thing she knew was pain and the next thing Harry saw was blood spurting from her neck as a knife ran across it from behind before she was pushed back into his arms covering them both in her blood as Harry caught her and lowered her to the ground. He looked up quickly to see the thug running away with a bloody knife before he looked back down to Stephanie "Fuck, hang on Stephanie I'll get you to a hospital just hang in there."
But he knew it was too late as she went limp and her eyes went dull as her breathing stopped and the last thing she saw was a tear falling from her hero's eyes as she thought to herself that crying didn't suit him and wished she could see him smile. Harry sat there for what seemed to him like hours just staring at Stephanie but in reality is was only a few seconds before he carefully laid her out down on the ground and then screamed to the heavens "SHAZAM!"
…
The thug who was still holding the bloodied knife ran through the dark alleyways of Gotham, suddenly he heard movement behind him and spun about but found nothing there, so he turned and kept running.
"Coward, you attempt to rape that girl, and when I stop you, you take her hostage, and then you slit her throat! There was absolutely no reason for you to do that!"
The man shook his head as he ran away from the voice "Shut up you freak!"
"I'm not the freak here, you are!"
The thug turned around the corner of the alleyway and ran right into something solid, the man looked up and saw the tall teenager with pushed back black hair and glowing green eyes with the lightning bolt emblem on his chest "Kid-Adam!"
Kid-Adam glared as he reached down and grabbed the man by the throat making sure to dig his thumbs into the man's Adams apple to make it painful "You're scum, people like you deserve as much mercy as you give to others!" Kid-Adam tightened his grip and the man coughed slightly but it was cut off as blood sprayed upwards from his mouth like a fountain "So I'll make sure that you receive no mercy and die a painful death."
The alleyway was filled with a squelching sound as Kid-Adam crushed the man's throat with ease and then simply dropped the body to the ground and without a second glance at the cooling body Kid-Adam took off into the sky at high speeds back towards where he left Stephanie's body, he intended to make sure she was returned to her family and received a proper funeral, but when he arrived all that awaited him was a puddle of blood.
"Do humans have no respect? Why would someone take her body, she deserves to be laid to rest peacefully!"
Kid-Adam slammed his fist into the nearest wall will all his strength and then took off into the sky as the building began to collapse but he didn't make it far as suddenly two steel cables shot from the shadows and wrapped around him tightly stopping him from leaving.
"You're not going anywhere Kid-Adam."
Harry turned to see the Batman and Batgirl emerge from the shadows of the next rooftop "Leave me be, I have done nothing and yet you heroes do nothing but hound me."
The Batman scowled at him "I wouldn't call murder nothing!"
Harry glared at he tore apart the steel cables with some difficulty "That piece of trash deserved worse for what he did!"
"You mean that puddle of blood there, tell me everything, now!" Harry scowled but relented and told Batman everything "I see. I believe you. I'll make sure she is found and her parents informed but I'm still taking you in."
Harry nodded and noticed that Batgirl was spaced out slightly "Something wrong Batgirl?"
Batgirl shook her head and Kid-Adam shrugged before he noticed Batman's attention shifted to his young female counterpart and quickly flew skywards and away from Gotham City before Batman decided to try and arrest him for murdering that thug and Batman turned to Batgirl "You knew her?"
Batgirl nodded "Stephanie was a friend from school."
…
Harry rushed away from Gotham and as he did he struggled to figure out where to go next and spent the next several weeks simply flying about only stopping once to eat and sleep but he couldn't sleep as images of Stephanie's dead body continued to flash in front of his eyes and his failure to save her haunted him.
…
