As Billy raced away, he suddenly stopped and looked around. He didn't realize how fast he went until he saw the school building. He stood for a moment and then slowly walked onto the sidewalk. Suddenly Billy remembered something.
Flashback...
"If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" Freddy asked. "Everyone would choose flight. You know why?" Billy looked at Freddy and smiled. "So they can fly away from this conversation?" He asked sarcastically."
Billy looked around the sidewalk and looked at the entrance.
Flashback...
"What you need your fake family to save you?" A bully asked after he and another boy took Freddy's crutch and pushed him to the ground. Billy turned around and picked up the crutch, walking towards them while they weren't looking. "Hey." He said. The boys turned and Billy hit both of them with the crutch and threw it on the ground near Freddy before running off.
Billy looked in the direction he ran before and headed there. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but it felt important. He reached a subway station and stopped.
Flashback...
Billy was on a train and relieved to have escaped the bullies. The train suddenly sped up, scaring Billy. Strange markings appeared on the subway sign as the windows fogged up. He reached a cavern and soon after met a man telling him to speak his name. "But I don't know your name sir." Billy said. After the man revealed it, Billy chuckled as if it was a joke but said it anyway.
Billy tried to remember the name but couldn't remember. He then decided to give up the search and go back home. When he got there, the door was open. "That's weird." Billy thought to himself as he walked closer. The doorknob had actually been smashed. Seeing this, Billy raced into the house and called out for the others. He was about to call the police before noticing Freddy's phone on the ground. It showed that a recording was made not long before he had shown up. The video showed the group just dancing around at first but then Black Adam smashed into the house and immediately started grabbing everyone, causing Freddy to drop his phone. "Where is Billy Batson?" Black Adam asked. "Nowhere that you can reach him." Freddy said. After a few seconds the video ended and Billy saw Freddy's crutch on the ground. A few hours later on a rooftop, Black Adam was holding the other kids up hostage when Billy arrived. "Let them go." He said. Black Adam looked at him and laughed. "I'm just getting started you child." He said. "This is between you and me." Billy said. "Leave them out of this." Black Adam smirked. "The wizards' champion begging for my another pupils life." He laughed. "I guess you hit your head harder than I imagined."
Flashback...
Billy turned around and a figure appeared and caused Billy to miss his step. Billy fell down the stairs and onto the ground. Black Adam watched with a smile as an officer came down and called for an ambulance.
"You were there that day." Billy realized. Just then more and more memories came into his head.
Flashback...
Seeing Superman...battling Dr. Sivana...the wizard. "Billy Batson, I choose you as champion." He said. "Call my name and my power will be yours."
"Any last words." Black Adam asked with a smirk. Billy looked at him and smiled. "Just one actually." He said. "SHAZAM!!!" The sky darkened and a lightning bolt struck Billy, leaving behind a thick wall of smoke. "How pathetic." Black Adam said. He was about to kill the others when the smoke suddenly cleared. "Miss me Black Adam?" Shazam asked. "Guess who's back." He said smiling. Black Adam immediately filled with rage and attacked Shazam as the two of them flew off and battled each other. "It doesn't have to be this way." Shazam said. Black Adam just kept attacking. "I didn't live for 5,000 years just to flee." He said. Just then Shazam had a plan. "Alright then, catch me if you can big boy." He said before shooting higher into the sky. Black Adam followed as they flew into the clouds. As soon as Black Adam was close enough he smiled. "SHAZAM!!!" He shouted. A massive amount of lightning attacked at once in Shazam's direction. Shazam timed the blast and dodged in time for them to hit Black Adam instead. The blast returned him to his human form and aged his body to the 5,000 years he mentioned, crumbling him to dust. The blast was so strong it shot him back to the ground and smashed him into his backyard. Another lightning strike hit him and transformed him back into Billy, who laid unconscious on the ground.
