realizations
do you think heroes/villains who wear a mask have to sometimes. repeat themselves because their enemy or whoever else didn't understand them. like imagine being held hostage by idk Black Mask and he's saying something super threatening to you and you have to be like
"...HUH?"
bro please that'd be so embarrassing for them 😭
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Shazam! | Captain Marvel (Comics), DCU (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Billy Batson & John Constantine, Billy Batson & Chas Chandler Characters: Billy Batson, John Constantine, Chas Chandler, Clark Kent Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, I mean it kinda is, not studying hahaha, Crack, just a little bit, Not Beta Read Series: Part 1 of I Took It as a Taunt Summary:
Billy Batson, current (child) Champion of Magic, spectacularly misunderstands when Superman gives him an invitation to the Justice League.
He joins anyway.
Everything is the same except Hal’s a shapeshifter. He can shapeshift into people/change his gender/appearance. He can’t shapeshift into animals yet because he’s still learning (and busy with Lantern stuff).
These scenarios would (most??? not sure) likely happen.
-hal going to a gala uninvited to annoy the shit out of spooky or getting the fancy food.
-hal changing to female!hal for another gala or something, and BRUCE WAYNE COMES UP TO HIM AND FLIRTS WITH HIM. hal immediately runs away once he figures out his secret co-worker is flirting /w him lol
-hal probably changing into oilver one time, and he gets bamboozled by press+people.
Man, Green Lantern and Batman hating each other and Female!Hal and Bruce Wayne borderline flirting+dating (?) each other would make a good identity porn fic.
God I swear I already wrote this hc once upon a time but I can’t find it for the life of me so!
Billy Batson, young and homeless, is looking to make some extra cash to survive starts working at Whiz radio station. He gets bounced around doing various odd jobs but gets roped into taking over the nightly superhero hour when everyone else comes down sick. Bill doesn’t quite know what to do, he’s not great with words and hasn’t been to school in years. So he just starts talking from the heart.
Billy talks about heroes, not just as paragons and icons but real live people being expected to shoulder the world. He brings up the various charities and causes heroes support and how ordinary citizens can be heroes in their own way. He never directly comments on current politics but instead speaks of morality and philosophy, not as a highly educated adult but a deeply empathetic child who has seen the worst the world has to over and continues to smile.
It’s an instant hit and Billy is brought on semi-permanently. He’s popular enough the radio forgives his odd hours and occasional absences and politely overlooks the fact that he ought to be in school/foster care. They give him a microphone that distorts his age and call him the Wizard. The show becomes so popular that it extends beyond Fawcett City and soon is being uploaded online and being broadcast around the country and behind. And some heroes listen in too. Barry listens to the program on his morning jog, it invigorates him to do better and makes him re-evaluate his role as a hero. Bruce will have it quietly in the background when he’s feeling low on a bad case to remind himself that all his efforts and suffering have meaning. Clark leans back in his chair at the Daily Planet and wonders how a civilian from the Midwest can understand the burden of heroism.
Billy is doing his program when the producer knocks on the glass window in a panic. Superman is here and wants to interview with Billy. Bill is freaking out, thinking he’s been caught but the first thing Supes does is gently cradle Billy’s small hands in his own and thank him for being a source of kindness and inspiration. Superman is thrown at first that the Wizard is a child, an obviously hardliving one at that, but presses on. The Man of Steel notoriously hard to interview but he chats easily with Billy, answering questions and debating morality and cause/effect of heroes and villains. The interview goes viral and soon even more heroes are stopping by.
Green Arrow comes and screams into the mic about the abuse of the government on underprivileged people. Wonder Woman and the Wizard have a fascinating, in depth discussion on gods and belief as both prove to be a wealth of obscure knowledge. One of the Robins comes and talks about kids in the hero biz and some unnnamed British man who keeps getting his swears bleeped out gives a kind of magic 101 which mostly translates to “don’t (bleep)ing mess with it”. Everyone wants to know who the Wizard is but his identity is locked down tight, first by Whiz radio, who knows they’ll be in trouble with child labor laws and the Justice League who has become obsessed with this kid. Many have wanted to adopt the precious bean to the detriment of Billy’s blood pressure.
Everyone always asks why Captain Marvel hasn’t come by for a visit. He’s so friendly and open and operates directly out of Fawcett City. Cap is sweating at the Watchtower when his friends are talking about the latest show and gently berating him for not interviewing. Billy is grimacing as his producer makes him ask, on air, if the Cap would show up for a chat. He just wanted to make a little bit of extra cash in his off hours and now he’s kind of an international sensation and unofficial hero whisperer. Maybe Constantine can help him with a sort of duplication spell?
