I thought Billy and Courtney were a really sweet couple in JSA and hated the way that storyline went. So this fan fic is for the fans of that cute couple. An alternative timeline, what if....
Alternate Universe Fan Fiction inspired by Billy's and Co...
"Too many people already know. Sivana. Black Adam. Nothing good comes out of this."
"The JSA are friends. Team mates you can trust."
"One mole. One betrayal is enough to destroy you."
"Courtney is more important than anything in the world... More than anything, period."
"Think with your head, not with your heart. You have responsibilities."
"I love Courtney."
"You are going to outlive her, outlive everyone you love, but your secret must stay intact."
"Once they know you are a kid, they will treat you like one. They will look down on you. This will render you ineffective."
A myriad of thoughts ran through Marvel, no Billy's head.
"Flash," Marvel's intense blue eyes bore into Flash's. "Appearances are deceiving."
Jay's gaze softened.
"You, Wildcat and Green Lantern are in your seventies? Eighties? Yet you don't look a day over thirty," the Captain continued.
"And?" Jay tilted his head.
Billy grimaced as he shut out all thoughts but his love for Courtney. Bracing himself, he continued, "Come, I'll show you."
He flew to an deserted lot with Jay running below him. There he landed, motioning Jay to stand back.
"Shazam," he whispered.

Lightning cracked through the cloudless sky and hit the tall, heavily muscled red-suited man.
Smoke cleared.
In the place of the big man stood a skinny boy no older than sixteen.
The boy stepped forward and offered his hand. "Hi, I'm Billy Batson. I'll be sixteen next month."
Jay's jaw dropped as he took the boy's hand. He closed his mouth and opened it again repeatedly like a goldfish. No words came out.
"I appreciate if you keep this to yourself," the boy gestured at his smaller frame.
"Yes, Courtney and I are dating," he continued.
Jay finally found his voice, "Courtney can date Billy, but not The Captain."
"I am the Captain," Billy spread his legs out and crossed his arms to look threatening, but came across as adorable instead.
Jay massaged his temples trying to clear his head. Their heavy hitter's a skinny fifteen year old kid. This is The Captain they send to take down Superman when he's not in control of his own actions.
Jay ran both his hands up and down his face.
"Green Lantern, Wildcat and Mr Terrific have to know about this, at least. We'll work something out," he added.
"Fine," Billy grinned.
Jay could see The Captain in those brilliant blue eyes, jet black hair, square jaw and dimpled smile.
"Shazam!" Shouted the boy. Thunder roared as lightning split the sky hitting the small form.
The red suited figure corded with muscle towered over Jay once more. With a mischievous salute, he flew off.

"What are you saying?" Green Lantern's brow furrowed. "Marvel's a kid?"
"So's Stargirl and she's proven herself on the field," Wildcat examined his nails, unperturbed.
"S.T.R.I.P.E. keeps an eye on her," said Terrific.
"If he gets there in time. Half the time, she takes care of the threats before he arrives," Ted replied.
"What say you, Jay?" Alan Scott turned to The Flash
"Marvel's proven himself time and again. Nothing's changed in terms of his JSA status. The issue is the potential scandal," replied Jay.
"As long as they aren't seen cozying up in public, that shouldn't be an issue," stated Mr Terrific.
"Shall we tell the rest?" Asked Ted.
"No. I gave him my word," Jay shrugged.

Rap rap rap..
Courtney raised her head. The big red cheese hovered outside her window.
"Billy, what's up?" She unlocked the window to let him in.
The Captain called down lightning as he dropped through the window. Billy Batson landed in Courtney's study.
"Flash knows about us. He told Cap to stop seeing you," blurted Billy.
"What? No. You didn't?" Courtney stuttered.
"Relax Court," he pecked her cheek. "You are more important to me than my secret," he grinned as she visibly let out the breath she had been holding.
"I showed him," he continued.
"And?" Courtney's eyes widened.
"I thought he was going to get a heart attack or something," he grinned.
"Who else knows?" Her eyes filled with concern.
"He'll have to tell Green Lantern, Wildcat and Terrific. I can date you as Billy, but kinda have to stay away from you as Cap," he frowned. "He's worried about the scandal that would break out if Captain Marvel is seen dating a minor."
"Are they gonna treat you like a kid too?" She pondered.
"No idea. But he is kinda freaked out that Cap's a 'helpless' fifteen year old half the time. They're planning intensive training for me as Billy," he frowned.
"Oh, and if Cap and Stars work together at any time, we get a chaperone," he rolled his eyes.

Notes from writer
Personally I hated it when in the comics, Billy chose to keep his secret identity a secret from the JSA and broke up with Courtney.
Then again, was staying with her and telling JSA his secret a big mistake?
