"Where exactly are we going?" Freddy asks. Billy just keeps walking. "Why are adults so annoying? Why do they think that because they're old they know how to take care of someone, or be able to understand you? I just don't get it. For most of my life it's been me looking out for myself, if someone did really 'care' about me they didn't get me. I've seen plenty of adults who can't take care of kids half as good as other kids could." Billy rants in anger. "Yeah, true." Freddy says not knowing what to say.
  No one talks for a while so to ruin the awkward tension Freddy wants to film another video. "Hey this is a good spot to film. The lighting is perfect, i can actually see your face." Freddy tells Billy.  "Ok... um i guess i just say... Shazam." The lighting dust cloud strikes Billy and Billy is that weird muscular old guy again. "How do I look?" Billy asks in a deeper stronger voice while showing his biceps. "Like a fucking superhero!!" Freddy shouts.
  "Okay test #2 try take one. Invisibility. Go" Freddy says filming a sheet of paper with the information on it. Billy groans trying to become invisible. "Oh my god! It actually works! You have invisibility!" Freddy lies, and is enjoying Billy thinking he's invisible. Freddy is happy that he could help Billy out, but he felt jealous of Billy. Billy was stronger, cooler, better looking, and had the one thing Freddy wanted the most which was superpowers.
   When Freddy was a really little kid he went to superheroes for comfort because it was all he had. And, of course, a five-year-old Freddy thought he had superpowers. He looked at how happy Billy seemed when he was Shazam and wished he could laugh with Billy. There are so many things Freddy wished he could do, but just weren't possible because of his injury. Sometimes too he wished someone else could've gotten hurt instead of him, and he would be fine.
"Let's go!" Billy says. Freddy gets out of his daze and tries to catch up to Billy. "So I was thinking, what do you think of Lighting Fingers, or Spark man?" Freddy says looking up at Billy. "Eh they're good just not, 'the one' I don't know." Billy moves his hands expressively. "Can we stop a second?" Freddy says a little hastily. "Yeah sure," Billy looks down at him concerned, "what's wrong?" Freddy tells him, "nothing, it just hurts my arm to walk after a while on this thing and it gets annoying I'm used to it." Billy just agreed and didn't care much more which Freddy liked. They stood there for a minute, saying nothing, and then they started walking again.
"This park toy is a perfect spot to test how the lighting works!" Freddy points to a half circle metal thing someone could climb on. Freddy gets his video set up and Billy gets ready to make lighting with his hands. Freddy signals to Billy to start and he shakes his hand around to light up the apparatus. Billy feels a vibration in his hand and lighting shoots out of his hand. He felt so happy as Shazam, and didn't want to turn back and feel how he does as himself.
"Ahhh!" Billy and Freddy both looked over to a women fighting someone. Billy sped down quickly with his super speed and Freddy followed along. The women appeared to be getting mugged. "I'll help you old lady!" Billy said as he punched the old man and got him quivering to the ground. "I really didn't need your help, I was doing just fine on my own! And I'm the same age as you!" The women retorted, pepper spray in her left hand. "Sorry miss I just thought you needed help." Billy says, unsure of what else to say and Freddy backs him up, "You were a damsel in distress! You were screaming for help." The lady stares at Freddy and Billy goes back to punch the guy even more. "You know what who are you weirdos? Just take this money and leave me alone." The women runs off.
   "Man that lady was weird, right Freddy?" Billy looks down at Freddy counting money. "Dude, we just got 76 dollars!" Freddy yells. "You're joking?" Billy laughs. "No, we should defend buy some shit right now!" Freddy smiles excitedly. They walk two blocks down to a drugstore and walk in. They buy chocolate, chips, icees, donuts, and look for beer. "Hi can i have some of your good beers please?" Billy asks hoping he wasn't suspicious. "Uh yeah they're right down there." The red haired women points. Billy laughs nervously. They check out for $67.47 and head outside to eat the food. They manage to open the beer with Billy's strong gigantic hands and take a sip. Billy and Freddy both immediately spit it out and look at each other in disgust. "Beer is gross! I thought it would taste better than that!" Freddy says sticking his tongue out to get the taste off. Billy and Freddy open the chocolate bar, split it in half and start to walk away but two robbers run into the store, followed by yelling.
Billy's heart was pounding, this was his chance. He looks over to Freddy pulling out a camera. "You are not going anywhere without getting through me first." Billy says as stands tall. The robbers hold the money in place and look at him. They get their guns out and aim it at Billy, about to shoot. "Get em!" Freddy yells but the guy then goes over to Freddy and shoves Freddy to the ground and throws his crutch out the window. "Don't hurt him this is our fight!" Billy says grabbing the guy by his wrist. "Shoot me!" Billy nervously says, he didn't know if it would work but he didn't care either way. Plus it would just hit his shoulder.
The guy points his gun out shakily, "do it!" Billy urges. The loud gunshot muffled the sounds of Billy's scream as it hit him. There was no pain, he felt nothing but a touch above his left chest. The bullet had been crushed by his outfit and body. "Again! Again!" Billy says excitedly. Two more gunshots break out and Freddy gets Billy's attention. "We have to go before the police come Billy." Billy looks back at the robbers hearing the sound of the sirens and says, "shoot me in the face." The guys shrug out of fear and just do it, Billy felt a hard pinch in his cheek. But it didn't hurt. The sirens sounds wailed closer and Billy started to head out.
"Hurry Freddy!" Billy says waving his hand forgetting Freddy can barely walk. Freddy grabs the shelf next to him and pulls himself up and tries to walk over to Billy. "What's taking you?.." Billy abruptly stops talking realizing Freddy can't walk. Billy walks over to Freddy to help him and Freddy says, "I can walk I'm fine. It's not that hard." Billy walks back outside by the entrance waiting anxiously. Freddy almost makes it outside but slips on a newspaper and falls down. He feels so embarrassed and disappointed, he feels he is useless and can't do anything and just waits for Billy to come help him. Billy picks him up and they run away before the police can see them.
"You are so fucking cool dude, you have bullet immunity!" Freddy says on Billy's back. Billy doesn't respond. "Y'know for a while there I just thought you were some depressed, how do I say this? Opposite of Darla kind of kid? But i guess I was wrong." Freddy states. Billy just laughs, and puts Freddy down. "Shazam!" He says in a slight yell and they walk back home together
