Yesterday morning, with Billy. 

Adrien disappeared in the murder of crows. Again... Billy wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, laugh at his friend's dramatics, or feel annoyed. Truth be told, Billy had no idea what to do. He had these awesome powers now, and with these powers came responsibility. To be the guardian of the Earth. He had a duty to fulfill, but he was uncertain how to begin, or where. 

After brooding a little more, Billy decided to transform into his Shazam persona and fly around the Fawcett, maybe he would find someone who needed his help. After a quick cry of "Shazam!" Billy transformed into, he was still unsure what to call himself and flew off. 

Nothing... not a single crime. Not even an old lady waiting to cross the road. Billy was starting to get annoyed. He wanted to help people, but there were no people who required his help, he inwardly pouted and decided to fly somewhere else, if Fawcett was safe for now, didn't mean other cities would be too.  Flying was one of the most awesome things anyone could do. He loved everything about it. Wind in his face, gently ruffling his hair, spectacular view, as he passed various buildings and parks. Plus, everything was more noticeable from the bird's eye view. 

Billy was in the middle of admiring the ground when suddenly, he felt an invisible wave hit him like a ton of bricks. He faltered in mid-air and almost fell to the ground, but manage to hold himself afloat in the air. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was magic related, malicious and it was coming from the east, where Metropolis was located. 

He called upon the speed of Mercury and dashed towards the magical energy. When he arrived at the scene he barely restrained himself from squealing like a fangirl. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Flash were fighting some sort of oversized robot that was spawning even more miniature versions of himself. 

These robots... Were they the source of magic he felt? If yes then this situation was worse than he thought. Since when technology and magic worked together? To his knowledge, which came from the wisdom of Solomon, even the small amounts of potent magic made every technology around go bonkers if not ka-boom. The magical wave he felt was potent enough to fry any technology known to mankind. Billy was brought of his musing when he saw the hoard of robots gathering some sort of energy—spell most likely—to blast at the unsuspecting Flash's back, while he was distracted fighting of other robots. Billy took a deep breath, gathered magical energy, his eyes turning completely blue as he created a protective, mirroring shield around the speedster.

 As soon as robots fired their magical projectile, Superman and Batman screamed in unison. "Flash, look out!" 

They were too late...would have been too late if not for the shield currently protecting the scarlet speedster from the magical blast. As soon as the projectile reached the shield, it absorbed the magical missile completely and changed color from soft blue to violent vermillion. Shield evaporated, but the energy didn't disappear, it started gathering in front of Flash's face, and soon bolt of scarlet magic shot out, aiming at the robots, and annihilated annoying machines.
