Some Ignorant Guy: Magic Isn't Real! It's Just A Stupid Children's Trick.

Some Ignorant Guy: Magic isn't real! It's just a stupid children's trick.

Captain Marvel literally existing: This motherfu-

Imagine if a villain was able to infiltrate Captain Marvel's mind and the Justice League had to go into his mind to save him. When they go in, they're greeted by two doors. One door is huge, made of marble and has delicate details carved in and the other is a small broken old wooden door with graffiti barely holding on to its hinges.

First, they enter the marble door and are transported into a battlefield with many of the old avatars of Shazam, all fighting monsters that seem to be trying to get to an orb of pure magic. With the help of the league, the monsters retreat for some time, but not forever. One of the past avatars tells the justice league that they need Captain Marvel to be able to stop the fight, but in order to do that, they need to find Billy Batson.

The team is sent back through the marble door to go through the wooden one. When they enter, they see a room in an abandoned building with very little inside and see a mirage of a little boy. They try to touch him but their hands go straight through, the boy starts to move to the door to leave and the team follows. They keep doing this, learning about Billy's life by going back in time to CPS meetings, foster homes, Billy's uncle's place, and finally to his family's home.

Where they see Billy's family and where Billy can see and interact with them, not as a mirage but his actual conscience. He's obviously reluctant to go, but they convince him it's what he needs to do. He goes back with them, reunited with the power where it fuses with him to create Captain Marvel and defeats the monsters, returning everything back to normal.

I love the idea of the Shazamily being overprotective of Billy, especially Mary! I was thinking of the comics with Guy Gardner calling Captain Marvel "Captain Whitebeard" and Cap being annoyed explaining that his name is Captain Marvel even going as far as spelling it out.

If Mary or Freddy were there they would try to fight him but Cap would stop them before they could do any real damage. So they would have to resort to being petty like name calling, pushing his chair out before he sits, ignoring him, malicious compliance, and not being in a hurry to help him in anyway. Captain Marvel would act annoyed but would do the same if the roles were reversed! Don't mess with Billy or any of the other Shazamily!

Injustice AU

I really want to see a short story where Billy is transported to the Injustice universe after his alternate version of Captain Marvel has already been killed and must find a way to return home while navigating the differences in this alternate reality, helping to stop Superman, and protecting Fawcett City. Like can you imagine how crazy it would be to see your own burial then pretend to be the revised version of your alternate self to go into a war. While also facing the idea that the person you idolize for years has become an evil dictator and is the same person who murdered you. Billy having to face his alternate foster family who just lost their son/brother while looking and acting exactly like them (If he had a foster family). Also having to face the scary fact that despite his powers he can get hurt or worse killed, still choosing to protect the world despite the fact it's not his because it's the right thing to do. With a happy ending, of course!

Shadow Switching AU

Imagine if there was a villain that was attacking the Justice League or just Captain Marvel and used a spell that "revealed their true self". It hit Cap but didn't change anything because Captain Marvel is still Captain Marvel and is a different person from Billy. It did however switch the shadows of Billy and Cap so now a 8"3 demigod has the shadow of a 5"3 little 10-15 year old boy and vice versa. So now Billy and Cap are both desperately trying to find ways to stay away from anything that can cause a shadow like the sun and artificial light.

Batman: Who is Captain Marvel Jr?

Cap: What do you mean by that? I don't understand the question, give it to me again! What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand what the hell you're saying!

Batman: Who is Captain Marv-

Cap: I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE SAYING!

Batman: ...

Batman: Can you explain to me about some magic?

Cap: Yeah, absolutely!
