 "His name is Billy Batson, and he is nine years old.  When I first looked at his birth records it said that he was born to CC and Marilyn Batson and that he had a twin sister Mary.  when I took a more thorough look at his birth certificate, I found out that it was forged while the Batson's were at an archeological dig in Egypt almost a year after Mary was born," Batman stated.

  "So, Mari has been with the Batson's for the past eight years?" Supergirl asked.

  "No CC and Marilyn Batson both died on an archeological dig around three years ago when Mari was probably around six years old.  Thier daughter Mary was also with them and was never found."

  "What happened to Mari?" Superman asked in a worried voice.

  "Mari was with his Uncle Ebenezer for about a year, and after that Billy went missing. If I were to guess though I would say that he was kicked out by his uncle.  Because it appears that his uncle stole the money that Mari's parents left to him.  Mari hasn't been to any schools since he was seven years old, and he hasn't been placed in any foster homes either.  There is no trace of Mari having any guardian since his uncle kicked him out, he's probably been homeless somewhere in Fawcett City for the last two years" Batman said through clenched teeth.

    "We have to help him; do you know where he is" Wonder Woman said.

  "I don't have an address or anything, but I have narrowed it down to a few different Neiborhood's that he is more likely to be at and I already have the team and the robins searching for Mari.  They will contact us if they find anything, and I can give you a list of places where you might find Mari so that you can start looking for him."

  "Ok, what does Captain Marvel have to say about all of this?" Superman asked.

  "Haven't you heard", Wonder Woman asked surprised. "The Captain, has been missing since yesterday.  He never came to mount Justice to supervise the team and hasn't contacted anyone."

  "Thats a little strange" superman said with a frown," but I'm sure he'll be fine he's just as strong as me or possibly even stronger."

  Billy woke up to an overpowering noise that felt like it was splitting his head in two.  "What is that Billy asked the gods.  

  "Billy what's wrong" came Zeus's concerned voice.

"Can't you hear it?" he asked from where he was curled up in a ball trembling on the subway floor.  

  "Billy, you need to calm down", Zeus said in a worried.

  "What's going on!!!", Billy shouted in a frustrated voice as tears starting to form in the corner of his eyes.  

"BILLY CALM DOWN!!!!!" Zeus screamed as Billy began to shoot lasers from his eyes once again.

           ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Any sign of the kid" Babs asked Tim through the bat communicator.  

"Nothing yet but I'll keep looking, I'm heading to an old subway station that was shut down years ago.  I'll tell you if I find him, and by the way has anyone heard anything from Cap yet. 

  "Nope, but I'll tell you if I hear anything, Okay", Barbra replied "Bye"

  "Bye" Tim said just as lasers cut a tree in half that he was walking by.  He was still a little shocked when the same boy from the pictures Billy, or Mari ran out of the subway tunnel clutching his head as if he were in pain.  

  Before Tim could reach the Boy, the kid suddenly shouted a word that he had only occasionally heard Cap use during big fights.

"SHAZAM!!!!!!!!"

  Tim watched in mute shock as lightning struck the small boy turning him the familiar Captain Marvel earths mightiest mortal.  Cap quickly flew out of sight still clutching his head.

  "Hey Babs, can you check my suits camera and the video to Batman and the League.  You're never going to believe what I just found out", Tim said in an awed voice.

                       --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  "Diana my daughter, your family needs you." Zeus said as he appeared before Wonder Woman.

  "Of course, father" Diana answered while quickly kneeling before the god.  "I will help my family to the very best of my ability."

  "Good I need you to make sure that you make sure your younger brother is well taken care of".

  "My younger brother", Diana questioned her father.

  "Yes, I do believe that your team is trying to find him already.  His name is Thavma but your colleagues call him Mari," Zeus explained.

  "But Mari is a Kryptonian" Diana argued.

  "He is only half kryptonian, I met his mother in a very strange way" Zeus said, "You will find him on top of the old movie theater" and then Zeus left just as quickly as he had come, leaving Diana with a hundred questions.

     "I need to talk to the rest of the League" Diana said to herself as she walked towards the Zeta Tubes.
