Chapter 2

A New Family

10 years later


In the Musutafu police station we see a fourteen-year-old Billy Batson settled in front of the detective who helped him that day he had come to know as Naomasa Tsukauchi. Naomasa is a tall man with short, black hair and somewhat rectangular black eyes.

As a member of the Police Force, he is normally seen in his uniform, which consists of his signature tan overcoat and matching hat, underneath which he wears a black suit, a green tie at his neck with matching slacks, and dress shoes.

And beside him was the hero who brought him in this time the Magic Hero: Majestic. He is an adult man, with a slim body and a goatee. His hero costume recalled the appearance of a wizard, with a short orange robe and the characteristic scarlet pointy hat. He wears several fabrics and sashes of various patterns and colors tied around his costume, with one of them blindfolding him.

"Billy you've run away from foster homes in 6 prefectures," Detective Naomasa says, tossing a file on his desk and rubbing his eyes. "Geez kid you tryna set a record or something," Majestic says with a raised eyebrow at Billy. Bill huffs and crosses his arms, "I can take care of myself." Rolling his eyes, "When you're eighteen." Both adults say in unison, Majestic looks at Naomasa with a grin "Jinx." Naomasa ignores him as he walks around his desk, stands in front of Billy, and points out his office window at a dark green-haired woman and a man with black wild hair. The woman has large circular eyes. Her eyes are also green. Her hair is straight and shoulder-length, with a small and spiky ponytail at the back, and the man has a short mop of fluffy black hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, His eyes are large and somewhat circular, irises are black like his hair. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. "Give these people a chance…'cause that's what they are giving you." Billy looks back at the couple, the woman is clearly nervous pacing back and forth while her husband is attempting to comfort her Billy sighs and shakes his head, he stands up and walks out with the detective. Seeing the boy and detective walking to them from the office the woman grips her husband's hand and by his grimace, she squeezes a little too hard. Billy gives the couple a small smile and wave,

"Mr. And Ms. Midoriya, this is Billy Batson. Billy, this is Inko and Hisashi Midoriya. They will be your new foster family. Say hi. " Naomasa introduced, Billy stepped forward and gave them a small bow with a disinterested look on his face. "Hi." He says simply, the couple shares a look with the detective who just shakes his head letting them know not to take it personally. The lady Inko walks up to Billy with a small caring smile, "Hello Billy we are extremely happy to have you staying with us. We have a son, Izuku. He's at home getting the room ready for you." she said her husband nodded along with her words. "Now if you'll follow me we've got a couple more papers for you to sign then you can be on your way," Naomasa said, pointing them to the main desk. Nodding the three follow him to the desk, as the group walks away Majestic watches from Naomasa's office he looks at Billy for a moment then smirks and disappears in a flash of glittering lights.

I am just finishing my new brother's bed. "My new brother, I still can't believe it. I wonder what his quirk is." At that thought I freeze. "How will he react when he learns that I'm quirkless?" Before I can ponder on that for long my phone started ringing. Pulling my phone out I see that it's my dad calling, answering my phone I hear my mom in the background thanking someone. "Hey, kiddo we are getting the car heading your way, is everything set up?" Dad asks, I nod before realizing he couldn't see me. "Oh Uh yes I just finished making the bed." "Great, we should be home shortly. Love you, see you soon." "Love you too, bye." I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket and decided to watch the news in case any new heroes were debuting. As I'm writing in my hero journal about the new hero Mt. Lady after her arrest of a low-level crook named Stanley Stinky or something like that, my parents and foster brother walk in. "Izu honey we're home!" my mom shouts as she opens the door. I look up from my notes and see them walking into the living room. "Izuku, this is Billy Batson. Billy, this is our son Izuku." my father says,

I look at Billy he has on a red jacket unzipped showcasing an All-Might shirt. He had worn jeans and Converse. On his wrist was a limited-edition All-might watch that looked worn with age. Billy must've noticed where my gaze was locked since he pulled his sleeve down and glared at me. "Ah I-i am sorry I just- I have one just like it. " I say nervously looking at my feet. Billy sighed after a moment and pulled his sleeve back up so I could see it. I got it at THE All-Might meet and greet ten years ago." My eyes widened as the room stilled. "i-is that when… " Mom trailed off, not able to finish her sentence. Billy nodded and looked down. "They were caught under falling rubble," he said sadly. "I'm so sorry Billy." I say, "it's fine, can you show me to my room? " he says, looking away. I nod and get up off the couch and lead him upstairs. "Your room is next to mine so if you need anything just give me a knock." he nodded as he entered, closing the door behind him. I sigh and head back to my parents.

"It happened on a normal day. I was on my way to work like always. I don't remember doing anything special. I walked into the building, I got in the elevator with everyone. That's… when things got weird. When the elevator doors closed, there was some kind of electrical surge. The lights went out. And when they came back on, everyone else was gone. The elevator started falling! faster and faster. I thought I was going to die. Until it just stopped. The doors opened I was somewhere else. And that's when things get a little fuzzy… I heard someone calling my name I followed it. I saw a row of thrones, some of them broken and shattered. They were all empty except one. There was an old man with a long, shaggy beard sitting on it. He said something about being worthy. He asked me questions there was a lot of smoke. lights. Then the old man seemed to get agitated. "NO! NOT YOU!" he shouted then there was another explosion of lighting. And suddenly I was back in the elevator."--"I was back in my bedroom."--"I was back home."

A wall of monitors is currently playing interviews from everyday people claiming to have been summoned by a wizard. "I don't know who the old man was."--"The guy was kinda mean." In front of the monitors, a bald muscular figure is seen with an old worn book in his hand as he listens to the interviews. "He didn't say his name."--"he just said 'SHAZAM.'"--"SHAZAM." "SHAZAM!" a man speaks up from behind the bald figure. "What do you think, Doctor Sivana?" Dr. Sivana straightens up, "I think thirty-seven people from across the world with no connection whatsoever all seem to share a similar experience." The man steps closer to Sivana as he speaks. "They walked into an elevator or out of a tent or onto a bus and in a Burst of lighting–ended up somewhere else. Somewhere strange."

Dr. Sivana turns around and holds up the book, on the cover is a lightning bolt with a silhouette in the middle. "This isn't the first claim of 'mystical abduction'. When these accounts are taken as a whole, the details start to tell a tale that correlates almost exactly to the legend of BLACK ADAM." "Who is he?" "he was a slave, until the day he walked through the door of his cell and found himself in a fabled fortress known as the Rock of Eternity. A hidden castle where the world's first sorcerers and sorceresses shared their secrets. Black Adam was chosen to be their CHAMPION, he was bestowed great magical power. But after saving his country of Kahndaq from the seven sins, he vanished." Dr. Sivana explains while flipping through the book. Snapping the book closed he turns to his assistant. "The tale of Black Adam is more than a simple story. It has to be!" beginning to walk out of the room he continues, "I spent my life trying to unlock the secrets of science to save my family. But science failed. They need a miracle. They need Magic. Magic exists. And at last, I know how to find it."
