Hey guys! Welcome to my first ever Dc Super Hero Girls story! At first, I never really liked the show, but after watching the recent episodes, I slowly got interested. So, I decided why not create a story out of it with an OC that has Shazam-like powers. Why Shazam? Because he's my favorite DC superhero, right next to Beastboy, and the Flash. Oh, and before we begin, I want to tell you guys that the girls won't appear in this chapter. The reason for this is because I want to write the OC's origin story before having him join the Superhero girls...I really need to change that name now, since the OC is going to be a boy...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OC's.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

We cue on the outskirts of Metropolis, where we see a boy sitting in a car with his girlfriend as they were stargazing.

"Look, a shooting star." The teenage boy says while pointing up at the falling star as his girlfriend stared at it suspiciously. "Quick, Sally, make a wish. Mine's for us to be together forever."

"Hey, it's getting bigger, Mikey," Sally says, ignoring his cheesy line as Mikey blinks confusedly.

"Uh, what?"

"The shooting star." Sally says as Mikey looked up and was shocked to see the 'shooting star' suddenly changing course...and it's heading straight towards them!

"Oh, my god!"

"It's coming right at us! Drive away, Mikey! Before-" Sally didn't have time to finish her sentence as the shooting star dropped down on them. Killing the teenagers as a large crater was created from the impact.

Stepping out of the carnage was an 18-year-old teenage boy with short black hair, pointed ears, fair skin, and black eyes. He wears a black bodysuit with a lightning bolt symbol on his chest, Egyptian golden bracelets, a yellow sash wrapped around his waist, and yellow boots. He also wears a black cape with a hood and a gold trim. His name is Teth-Adam, but he prefers to go by his champion name, Black Adam.

Black Adam looked at his new surroundings with a disinterested look. Not fazed by the thought that he killed two innocent children as he glanced towards the buzzing Metropolis, and took flight as he heads straight towards the city.

The next day, we cue at a small apartment where an alarm was going off as a 14-year-old boy groans, from inside of his covers, and hits the snooze button on the annoying device. The 14-year-old boy has curly black hair with green eyes, small dimples, and has a slim build. Currently, he was wearing a white tank top with black sweatpants and no shoes. His name is Damien Hart.

Yawning, Damien leaps out his bed as he went into the bathroom to do his morning routine, before putting on his everyday clothes. Which consists of a blue hoodie with a white shirt underneath, ripped blue jeans, and black shoes. Once dressed up, Damien went to the kitchen to make breakfast as he opened the pantry, and was disheartened to see that it was nearly empty. Except for the moldy old bread, expired milk, and what looks like a hotdog.

"Oh, right. I forgot to buy breakfast for this week...oh, well. I guess I'm going out for breakfast." Damien says with a shrug as he ran out of his apartment, and walked down the stairs as he saw a 30-year-old woman stepping out of her apartment. The 30-year-old woman has short blonde hair with blue eyes and a slim figure. She was wearing a black jacket with a white shirt underneath, a black tie, long black pants, and black high heels. Her name was Nora Quincely.

"Hello, Mrs. Quincely. You look really lovely today." Damien says, stopping to have a conversation as she smiled at him.

"Oh, why, thank you, Damien," Nora says as Damien looks at her attire curiously.

"Why are you dressed up like that? Aren't you a little early for your...night job." Damien says, looking somewhat uncomfortable as Nora frowned, and shakes her head.

"No, Damien. My nights of dancing around poles are over. I think I'm going to take your advice and get a real job. I'm going on a job interview in 15 minutes." Nora says as Damien smiled proudly.

"Good, for you, Mrs. Quincely," Damien congratulated as Nora smiled.

"So, how has everything been good so far?"

"If I can be honest, I'm barely getting by. Not that I'm ungrateful or anything, Mrs. Quincely. I'm happy that you gave me a home and money to live on, but the money you give me weekly isn't enough for me to survive the week." Damien says as he sighs tiredly, and Nora gave him a worried look. "Sometimes, I wish you can adopt me, so I can live with you, and you can become my mo-uh, nevermind. Forget what I said." Damien says while looking down embarrassedly as Nora smiled, and kissed his forehead.

"Everything is going to be okay, Damien. Trust me. Now go before your late with your interview with Mr. Kent." Nora says as Damien let out a small smile and nodded.

"Right. See you later, Mrs. Quincely!" Damien says, before running off. "I hope it all goes well on your job interview!" Damien yells as Nora smiled.

"I sure hope it does, Damien," Nora says while secretly hiding what looks like adoption papers in her hands as she put them on her purse. "Because if all goes well, you won't have to live on your own anymore...son," Nora says as she locked her door, and walked away.

Damien ran across his neighborhood to a local café as he was about to enter the restaurant when suddenly Damien noticed a couple of teenage boys dragging someone into an alleyway. Curious, Damien walked over to the alleyway and saw the teens trying to mug a homeless man. The homeless man is a middle-aged African-American man with long brown hair, a short beard, and green eyes. He wears an old dirty yellow hoodie with a black shirt underneath, blue jeans that have stains on them, and flip flops. His name is Tawny.

"Oh, come on, man. You really gonna take a bum's money? What's wrong with you? Didn't your mother raised you better?" Tawny says as the teenager scoffed.

"My mom left me when I was a child. Anyway, how am I gonna buy beer if this is all you have?" He says, pushing Tawny back as Damien's eyes narrow in anger.

"Hey!" Damien yelled, alerting Tawny and the teenagers of his presence as the young boy ran into the alleyway. "Leave him alone!" Damien demanded as the teen gave him an unamused look.

"Mind your own business, little man."

"Then just leave him alone," Damien says as the teenager narrows his eyes at him, and walked towards the nervous boy as he looks down at him, and raised his fist. Damien flinches as the boy smirked, and lowers his arm, only to suddenly kick Damien in the stomach as the boy groans, and fell on the ground.

"Got nothing to say now, huh, hotshot?" The older teenager says as he and his gang walked off.

"Sorry, captain," Tawny apologized while helping the boy stand up as Damien winced and held his bruised stomach. "The last thing I wanted was for you to get your ass whupped on my account." He says as Damien chuckled.

"Hey, he got off lucky. If he stayed, I would've decked him." Damien says as Tawny laughed. "Anyway, I was trying to do the right thing, sir. I couldn't let those assholes steal your money." Damien says as Tawny smiled.

"And that is why you're the captain, man. You know, everybody nowadays is looking for a change. Just want it to come from someone else, huh?" He says as Damien nodded and was about to walk away when Tawny spoked up. "Hey, um, speaking off, uh...heh. Well, I hate to ask, but..." Tawny says while holding out his hand as Damien gave him a blank look, which Tawny responds with a cheeky smile as Damien sighed and rummaged through his pockets.

"The only thing I have is this subway token," Damien says, pulling out a subway token as Tawny shrugs. Beggars can't be choosers.

"Works for me," Tawny says, grabbing the small coin. "And next time you see me, I'll hit you back with some change, captain," Tawny says before walking off.

"Heh, sure...what a weird guy," Damien mumbles as he turns around, and ran to the local café. Entering the small restaurant, Damien looks around as he spotted a glasses-wearing man sitting by a booth, and sat in front of him.

The man is 26-years-old with a muscular build, Caucasian skin, vivid blue eyes, and short black hair. His outfit consists of a brown jacket with a white-collar shirt underneath, blue jeans, and brown shoes. His name is Clark Kent, and unknown to Damien, he was also Superman. One of the most powerful heroes in the universe.

"Holy cow! Are all this for me?" Damien asked, eyeing the booth full of food in surprise as Clark nodded amusedly.

"Since you ate two breakfasts yesterday, I thought I'd better order you three today," Clark says as Damien looks guilty.

"I feel bad forcing you to pay so much money for a kid you barely know," Damien says, feeling guilty for troubling Clark so much, but the man didn't look annoyed.

"I don't mind, kiddo," Clark says just as Damien's stomach grumbled as he blushed embarrassedly, and Clark chuckled. "Besides, I think your stomach is telling a different story. Now, eat before your food gets cold." Clark says as Damien nodded, and began eating.

"Hey, I have a question, Mr. Kent. Do you really think the people who read your paper are going to care about some dumb kid that lives on the poor side of Metropolis?" Damien asked with his mouth full as Clark nodded.

"I think they're going to care a lot. And, I hope they'll do something to help you and the other kids with your...situation." Clark says, not wanting to offend Damien as he looks down, and noticed the reasonably large bruise on his stomach. "What's that you got there?" Clark says, pointing at Damien's stomach as the young teen looks down and shrugs.

"Eh, it's what you get when you try to be good."

"What do you mean by that?" Clark asked as Damien sighs.

"On my way to here, I saw a homeless man being mugged. I tried to help him, but I got my ass kicked...I should've just kept my mouth shut." Damien grumbly says as he picks at his food. "Be good and good will follow," Damien says as Clark raises an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"That's what my parents used to tell me. If I act good, then good things will happen." Damien says before scoffing as he gripped his fork in anger. "Well, I was good when my parents and sister died in a house fire. I was good when I was abused by my foster family. I was good when I was forced to live on the streets for 3 years. And I was good 5 minutes ago before I got kicked in the stomach." Damien angrily ranted as he then calmed down, and sadly sighs. "I'm starting to think that being good isn't all that is cracked up to be."

"It seems that way sometimes, doesn't it?" Clark hums as Damien nodded. "But that's because being good is hard being bad is always easy," Clark says as Damien stared at him, confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Damien asked as Clark smiled.

"Tell me. What happened to the homeless man? Was he hurt?" He asked as Damien shakes his head.

"No. I stopped those teenagers before they could do anything."

"Well, then that means you did do something. While you did lose the fight, you did stop those delinquents from stealing his money and hurting him. That has to count for something, right?" Clark asked as Damien thought carefully, before smiling as he nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I did help that man." He says before frowning. "But I still got beat up, though."

"Damien, being good is not about winning a fight, it's about doing the right thing. Even if you get hurt in the process." Clark says as he and Damien didn't notice Black Adam appearing outside of the dinner as he clapped his hands. Producing a massive shockwave that pushed everyone back and destroyed nearby windows. Damien groaned as he sat up from the ground, and saw Black Adam floating into the destroyed dinner with his arms crossed as he sneered at the sight of the scared child.

"I was not expecting a child." Black Adam says, landing in front of Damien as the 14-year-old nervously steps back. "But you are marked by the Wizard's energy. Chosen to one day inherit the mantle as the champion of Earth."

"I-I don't understand. Who are you? What do you want from me?" Damien asked as Black Adam smirked arrogantly.

"My name is Teth-Adam, but you can call me by my champion name, Black Adam. And what I want from you..." In the blink of an eye, Black Adam appeared in front of Damien as he grabbed him by his hoodie, and slammed him against the wall. "...You're life."

"Hey!" Clark shouted while standing up as he glared at the magical villain. "Stay away from him!"

Black Adam gave him a bored look as he lets go of Damien, and rushed over to the man of steel. Clark was caught off guard by the teen's speed as Black Adam appears beside him, and backhands Clark so hard that he flew outside of the dinner, and crashed through 2 buildings. With the annoying pest now gone, Black Adam turned to finish off Damien but was surprised to see him gone.

"Damm, little brat escaped before I could finish the job." Black Adam says, before smirking. "But it won't matter where you go, boy. Even in your mortal form, I can still sense the dormant energy that lies inside you. You won't be able to hide from me for long." Black Adam says as he bends down, and took off into the air to search for Damien.

"Ugh..." Clark groaned while popping out from the rubble as he took off his glasses, and ripped open his shirt, revealing a familiar 'S' symbol on his chest.

"You can't run away from me, boy!" Black Adam shouted while flying after Damien. Who was trying everything in his power to escape from the magical villain's wrath as he was running through an alley, but stopped as he ran into a fence.

Damien swiftly recovering as he climbed over it and dropped into a pile of trash as he quickly ran out of the alley. Black Adam blast the fence apart as he was about to fly after him when suddenly his Wisdom of Zehuti told him that a new plan was in order. Trusting his Wisdom of Zehuti, Black Adam looks around as he saw a nearby abandoned building, and smirked.

"Someone help me!" Damien screamed, running into the street as everyone turned to him in surprise. "A supervillain is chasing after me!" Damien screamed as the civilians stared at him silently, before laughing as they figured that Damien was playing make-believe. Their laughter came to a screeching halt as a large shadow fell upon them, and Damien looks up as he saw Black Adam lifting an entire building with his bare hands.

"This will do." Black Adam says as he chucked the building towards Damien and the civilians.

Damien screamed in fear as he closed his eyes, and waited for his death when suddenly a blue bur appeared as it grabbed the building, and set it down gently on the ground. The figure then turned around, revealing himself be Clark wearing his superhero outfit. Which consists of a blue bodysuit with a red/yellow "S" stitched on his chest, red trunks, yellow belt, red boots, and a red cape. Even his hairstyle had changed a bit as he now has a curl over his forehead. Clark Kent was now acting as his alter-ego, Superman.

"Whoa, Superman...I'm saved!" Damien cheered, relieved to get help from one of his favorite superheroes as Superman looked down at him and smiled reassuringly.

"Don't worry, son. I will take things from here." Superman says as Damien nodded, and ran off. Now without the worry of protecting Damien, Superman turned to Black Adam and glared at him.

"You fight for the Wizard's Champion." Black Adam asked, not at all surprised by Superman's presence since he heard stories about him, and his cousin from his exile in space.

"I fight for those who can't for themselves," Superman answered, not knowing what Black Adam was talking about, but what he does know is that he won't let an innocent child get hurt.

Black Adam smirked as he flew towards Superman, and slams him into the building. Superman responded by grabbing the former champion and slamming him into the building, before kicking him down as he landed on the pavement harshly. Clark didn't really want to go all out against the teenager, but Superman has a feeling that Black Adam is a lot older than he looks, judging by how he acts.

Black Adam winced as he sat up from the ground and clutched his bruised stomach. Teth-Adam has heard tales that Kryptonians grows stronger under the yellow sun. But Black Adam couldn't fathom the fact that someone other than Shazam, and the gods could be powerful enough to hurt him.

Black Adam glared at the floating figure of Superman. Thinking that Clark was mocking him as he raised his hands and blasted Superman away with a controlled lightning blast. Superman grunted as he crashed against the wall of a building, before landing on the ground as he groans, and clutched his chest in pain.

"That hurt way more than it should. I know that's not Kryptonite, so that can only mean one thing." Superman says as he glared down at the smirking form of Black Adam. "Magic," Superman says, slightly angry as he realized Black Adam will be a lot harder to deal with thanks to his weakness with magic.

Black Adam glared at Superman, before feeling Damien's magical energy moving away from him as he turns his head and saw Damien running away. Using the Swiftness of Heru, Black Adam caught up to Damien in no time as he was about to smash the teen's skull. But luckily, Superman came in as he flew past Black Adam, slightly surprising the former champion with the Man of Steel's speed as Clark grabbed Damien, and flew off.

"Why is he after me?" Damien yelled over the soaring winds as Clark looks down at him.

"I was hoping you can answer me that," Superman says as the clouds above them suddenly turned black, and a yellow lightning bolt rained down from the sky as hits Superman on his back. Causing him to scream in pain as Clark lost his grip on Damien, and the teen started falling through the air.

Damien screamed as Superman quickly recovered with his back still steaming as he flew after the screaming teen, and grabbed him. Just as Black Adam appeared as he fired a lightning bolt at them. Superman quickly placed Damien behind him as he held out his hand and punched the magical attack away, producing a shockwave that blew them both back. The hero and the young teen safely landed on the ground as Superman puts Damien down, before flying to face his magical adversary. Who recovered from the shockwave as he stared at Superman intriguingly.

"Indeed, you are strong as they say, Superman." Black Adam complimented as he noticed the scorch marks on his suit, and he grins. "But I sense one critical difference. A vulnerability to magic." Black Adam's body glowed with electricity as he cupped his hands together, and fires an electrical orb at Superman. The magical sphere expanded around Superman, trapping him as the magical ball started electrocuting him, and Superman screamed in pain.

"Superman!" Damien yelled, worried for his hero as he cursed at himself for not being useful enough to help him.

Superman grits teeth in agony, feeling every cell on his body being fried from the inside out as he slowly grows angry, and his eyes glowed red. Black Adam smirked sinisterly, before frowning in confusion as the orb turned red. Before exploding as Black Adam flew back, and recovered in mid-air as he saw a very pissed off Superman, glaring at him with his eyes still glowing red.

"Another difference...heat vision," Superman says as he fired his heat vision at Black Adam. Who was too slow to react as the beam sends him crashing to the ground, and a large crater was made upon impact.

"That was so awesome! You beat him!" Damien cheers as Superman smiled down at him in amusement, before groaning as he lost control of his flight, and fell on the ground. "Superman! Are you okay?" Damien asked as Superman grunted, and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Magic doesn't hurt me as much as Kryptonite, but it still hurts like heck." Superman says just as the area around them started trembling, and large cracks appeared on the ground. "Run! Now!" Superman screamed as Black Adam popped out of the ground, carrying a large chunk of the earth in his hands as he tossed it towards Superman and Damien. Thinking quickly, Superman pushed a petrified Damien out of the way as the chunk of earth landed on top of him, trapping him under miles of rock and dirt.

"Superman!" Damien shouted as Black Adam heard his scream, and looked down at him as he shot multiple lightning blasts at him. Damien yelped as he narrowly avoided the electrical attacks, and ran down towards the subway when suddenly someone grabbed him. Thinking that it was Black Adam, Damien pushed the mysterious attacker away, only to be surprised that it was actually Tawny. Who gave him a surprised look as he raised his hands in surrender.

"Whoa, captain didn't mean to scare you." Tawny jokingly says as Damien looks around for Black Adam nervously.

"Sorry, sir, I've been having a really rough day. Anyway, I have to go," Damien anxiously says as he was about to run away, but Tawny stops him as he grabbed him by his shoulders.

"Wait. Look, man. The change that I promise." Tawny says as he reached into Damien's ear and pulled out a coin. "Right here, ta-da!" Tawny says as Damien struggled in his grasp.

"Sir, please! I have to go, you don't understand!" Damien says as Tawny's happy demeanor suddenly turned serious as he hands Damien the coin.

"No, I'm serious, take the coin." Caught off guard by his sudden change of personality, Damien shakily grabs the coin as he noticed that it had a weird symbol of a lightning bolt on it. "Now, listen to me, you're going to take the subway," Tawny says as Damien looks down at the coin, confused.

"But why?" Damien asked as he looked up and was surprised to see that Tawny was gone.

Puzzled, Damien decided to follow the homeless advice and ran to the subway to catch a train. When suddenly, Black Adam appeared as he broke through the ceiling. Scared for his life, Damien jumped onto the tracks to run away from the magical villain. Damien's eyes then widen as two light appeared on the darkness, and the poor kid didn't have time to react as the train hits him, and he disappeared. Black Adam smirked as he realized that the champion was now gone, and he flew off to finish his fight with Superman.

"Aah!" Damien screamed, before calming down as he realized that he was alive, and was somehow inside the train. "Uh, okay, what just happened?" Damien asked himself as he was about to call out for help. When suddenly his pants started glowing as he reached into his pocket, and pulls out the coin Tawny gave him. Damien stared at it, quizzically as the coin radiated with magical energy and shot out blue electricity as it spread across the cabin, and the train started moving faster. Damien quickly grabbed a hold on a chair to steady himself as bolts of lightning bounced across the cabin. Before dying down as Damien warily looks around, and saw a couple of images appearing on each window of the cabin like visions.

The first window showed him as a 6-year-old watching his family die in a house fire and then attending their funeral.

The second window showed a 7-year-old version of himself entering the 'Metropolis Home For Troubled Youth' building and getting adopted by a foster family. They treated him nice at first, but it turned out to be a ruse as his fake parents only cared about receiving the money that his real parents left him, and didn't care enough to take care of him properly.

The third window showed a 10-year-old version of himself running away from his home in tears. The vision then fasts forwards to show him hugging himself for warmth on an alleyway as he was sobbing.

The fourth window showed a 13-year-old version himself begging for change, but everyone ignores him as his stomach grumbles. Damien groans as he hasn't eaten anything in weeks, and silently pleads for someone to help him. Suddenly, a shadow fell upon him as he looked up curiously and saw Nora Quincely staring at him worriedly. While wearing her stripper outfit as she offered Damien to go into her house. The next vision then fasts forward as it showed Nora feeding Damien, buying him an apartment that was close to her to live on, and helping him enroll him in school.

The fifth window showed Superman freeing himself from the pile of rocks as he flew towards Black Adam, who was flying out of the subway as Clark blasted him with his heat vision.

Damien slowly grew depressed from watching old painful memories from his childhood. But once Nora appeared, a big smile grew on his face. Damien felt he owe Mrs. Quincely big time for helping him live off the streets. If it wasn't for her, he would've probably died in some ditch somewhere. In short, Damien was grateful for everything she has done for him. And, deep down, secretly wished that Mrs. Quincely would adopt him, and raised him as her son.

Damien's train of thought was interrupted as another vision showed up, and he looked at curiously. Before blinking in confusion as it showed an image of a group of girls fighting against a monster as they all had an array of unique powers and abilities. Damien eyes then widen as he saw himself flying towards the giant goliath. While wearing a blue bodysuit with a white cape as he confronts the giant monstrosity with a fearless smile as he punches it. Damien felt exhausted after watching so many visions, but it appears that it wasn't over yet as more popped out.

The first vision showed an image of a girl with curly blue hair fighting a humanoid squid creature that was wearing body armor as she raised her arm. Showing a weird purple watch with an hourglass symbol on it as she slams her hand down on her watch, and a flash of purple light occurred. Once the brightness dies down, we see the girl transforming into a blue moth-like creature as she blew an icy breath at the squid-like being. Who retaliated by a summoning a yellow shield to block her attack, and pushed her back.

The second vision showed a teenager and a kid sparring with each other as the teenager wore a dark green Hawaiian shirt while the kid wore a pink shirt. The kid summoned a shield from out of thin air as he throws it at the teenager, who caught it with one hand as they smirked at each other.

The third vision showed a teenage boy wearing a wolf-like costume fighting against an army as he leaps into the air, and blew the enemy away with a sonic roar. Leading the group was a man wearing a red moth-like suit as he raised his crimson cane, and commanded his minions to take out the boy.

The fourth vision showed a teenage boy fighting against an army as the young teen wore blue body armor. The group he was fighting against blew fire at him from their hands as he gracefully dodges their attack, and summoned a trident in his hands as he charged at them. Behind him was a bald teenager with tattoos on his arms blowing a boy with a scar on his face away with a gust of wind.

The fifth vision showed a white-haired teenage girl flying in the air as she was fighting against a man with blue skin and vampire-like hair. The blue-skinned man fired a pink energy blast at her, and the girl responded by creating a blue energy shield as she withstood the attack.

The sixth vision showed a teenage boy laughing in joy as he rode on a pirate ship with a crowd of strange people as a small-winged lemur flew in and landed on his shoulder.

The seventh vision showed a group of kids running across a city as the kids were lead by a blue-haired girl and a blue creature that resembled a dog as they all laughed.

The eight vision showed a browned-haired teenage girl with brown skin fighting against a group of monsters as she wore yellow body armor and fought off the monsters by using large sharp daggers. Standing beside her was a teenage girl with long blonde hair blasting the army away with a magic wand as she laughed, having the time of her life. A brown-haired boy showed up to the fight as he protected the girls by using his karate skills to punch/kick every monster that was standing in his way.

The ninth vision showed a browned-haired teenage boy, wearing red body armor as he fought alongside a boy who generated two giant mechanical hands.

The tenth vision showed a boy with black hair standing on top of a hill overlooking a small town named Gravity Falls as he growled, and his eyes glowed blue.

The eleventh vision showed a boy with silver-colored eyes riding on a magical staff with a Hispanic girl as they tried to fly away from the local authorities.

The twelve vision showed an anthropomorphic black rabbit flying through the sky with his body glowing blue as he wore a blue sweater, white gloves, and a big red hat. The small bunny grins as he boosts up his speed and reached supersonic speeds as he made a sonic boom.

The thirteen vision showed a teenage boy, wearing black body armor flying through the air on a small spacecraft as he was trying to escape from his enemies.

The fourteen vision showed a black-haired teenage girl showing her powers to her friends as she wore pink body armor. A boy with spiky brown hair with a blue vest stared at in her in awe, while a girl with ninja-like abilities gives her an impressed look. A blue-skinned alien with telekinetic powers scoffed at what he saw. But reluctantly admitted that her Power Move was impressive as the purple-haired girl heard him, and blushed shyly.

The final vision showed him and the group of teenagers fighting against a large and powerful creature as it roared at them.

Overwhelmed by the number of visions that were shown to him, Damien didn't have time to react as the train suddenly came to complete halt, and he was sent flying towards the floor. Groaning in pain, Damien sits up as the doors opened to reveal a large cave that was lit up with torches.

"Whoa," Curiosity getting the better of him, Damien steps off the train as he walks through the mysterious cave, and came across seven huge statutes. "The seven deadly enemies of man," Damien says, reading the plaque above the statues as he noticed that each one has a word planted on it. "Lust, Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, and Envy." Damien read out loud as he looked at the statues with mild discomfort, feeling that their eyes staring into his soul as he took a few steps back.

"Damien Hart. We finally meet face to face." An old and powerful voice rang out, spooking the heck out of Damien as he turned around, and saw an old man sitting on a large throne. The old man has a bold head with a large white beard, pale skin, blue eyes, and wears a large white robe. His name is Shazam. "Although I was hoping we don't meet until 4 years from now. But alas, the threat is upon us now, my champion."

"How you know my name, sir?" Damien asked, feeling unnerved that this weird old man knows his name as Shazam smirked.

"Oh, I know many things for I am The Wizard...Shazam!" Shazam shouted with his voice echoing across the cave as a bolt of lightning dropped down on him, and Shazam caught it with one hand nonchalantly just as the cave started shaking. Damien nearly lost his footing from the small earthquake as the trembling stopped, and Damien swiftly recovered.

"Holy cow!" The young teen exclaimed in amazement as Damien realized that he wasn't messing with a regular old man.

"Sorry about that," Shazam says with a grin as he tossed the lighting bolt in between his hands like a baseball before throwing it away as it blew a hole in the wall. "That happens every time I say my name. It's got quite annoying after a while, especially when I want to introduce myself to new guests." Shazam says as Damien nodded, but looked scared as he wondered when Black Adam will find him. "Worry not, young Damien Hart. Black Adam cannot sense you here." The Wizard reassured his champion as Damien stared at him, surprised.

"Wait. You know about Black Adam?" Damien asked the Wizard nodded solemnly.

"Yes, I have known him for quite a while. I was the one who gave him his powers in the first place." Shazam says as Damien stared at him in shock.

"What!? Why would you give someone like him, powers? He's pure evil!" Damien asked, baffled at the Wizards decision as Shazam looks down in shame.

"I still ask the same question to myself every day, my boy. Black Adam was my greatest mistake. But he wasn't always like this." Shazam says as Damien stared at him, confused. Seeing this, Shazam realized he needs to explain Black Adam's origin to his new champion, and conjured a chair for him to sit on. "Come, boy. I have much to explain," Shazam says as Damien eagerly sits on the chair to hear his story. "Millennia ago, I choose Teth-Adam to be this world's protector. At first, he showed great promise in being a great champion. But then a gang of criminals killed his family while he was fighting someone else war. Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Teth-Adam turned against me and unleashed the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man upon the criminals who killed his family."

"T-That's horrible! W-Why would he do something like that? I understand the pain of losing your family, but why kill them and others just for the sake of revenge? That's not right!" Damian says as Shazam stared at him with a proud look, and nodded.

"Right you are, Damian. Eventually, Black Adam fell under the spell of the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man and craved more power. My power to be exact to become a god. But I won't let that happen, so after I had a talk with the gods, and imprisoned the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man back into the Rock of Eternity. I plagued him with the name 'Black Adam' and banished him to the farthest star in the sky. I've spent the next 5000 years, making sure I would not repeat that mistake ever again. I chose a new hero."

"Who?" Damian cluelessly asked as Shazam stared down at the kid with an amused look.

"Why, you, of course," Shazam says as Damien eyes widen, and stood up from his chair in shock.

"Me!? But why?" He asked as the Wizard smiled at him and shakily stood up from his throne.

"I've been watching you for quite some time now to see if you were worthy to carry the mantle of being a champion, and after watching you thoroughly. I can safely say that you have the traits of becoming a true hero. So, I will bestow on to you the Wisdom of Solomon, the Strength of Hercules, the Stamina of Atlas, the Power of Zeus, the Courage of Achilles, and the Speed of Mercury. With all those powers combined, you will become the Earth's mightiest champion, Captain Marvel." Shazam says as Damian shakes his head.

"This has to be a mistake, sir. I'm no protector, I'm just a dumb kid." Damien says as Shazam laughed, and placed his wrinkled hand on Damian's shoulder.

"No protector, you say? And yet despite enduring countless tragedies and hardships...you've somehow managed to protect your perfect heart." The Wizard says while pointing at his heart. "You, Damian Hart, are all that stands in the way of Black Adam again unleashing hell upon us."

"But...I can't." Damien says, still feeling doubtful as he believed that he didn't deserve the power of the gods.

"You must, Damian Hart. People's lives are counting on you, including your little alien friend." Shazam says as he used his magic to project a vision of Superman fighting with Black Adam, and he seems to be loosing. "Superman is a rather powerful individual. I dare say that he has enough strength and power to defeat Black Adam. But his weakness against magic prevents him from achieving victory. He needs your help, Damian. Are you willing to protect him and the world from people like Black Adam by becoming Captain Marvel?" The Wizard says as Damian stared at the vision apprehensively, but then his eyes harden as he nodded.

"I will," Damian says, tired of being weak and helpless to protect people as Shazam smiled, and held out his hand.

"Shazam!" The Wizard shouted as a lightning bolt landed on his hands, and he aimed it towards Damien. "Then it's time that you reached to your full potential, Damien Hart. Prepare yourself." Shazam as Damian nodded and closed his eyes.

Shazam screamed as he thrust the lightning bolt into Damian's chest, and the young teen screamed in pain as he felt his entire body being fried from the inside and out. After a few seconds of agonizing pain, the electricity died down as Shazam lets go of Damian, who blinks as he felt the pain stopped and looked down at his body curiously.

"There, it's done," Shazam says as he teleported back into his chair, and used his magic to open up a portal to Earth, specifically to Metropolis. "I opened up a portal to you to Earth, so you can face Black Adam."

"You're not coming with me?" Damien asked as Shazam shakes his head.

"Alas, as the Guardian of the Rock of Eternity, I'm not allowed to leave this place without immediately losing my powers. But I've full faith that you will be able to defeat Black Adam." Shazam says as Damian smiled, and was about to leave when he realized something.

"Wait a minute, I have one more question. When I was riding the subway, it showed me weird visions. Do you know anything about that?"

"Oh, the Ride of Eternity can sometimes show glimpses of the passengers past, present, and even his/her future. It can also allow you to see visions of other universes. But now is not the time to think about that. Go, my champion, and defeat Black Adam!" The Wizard shouted as Damien nodded and ran through the portal as he was teleported back to Earth. "Now, let's see what he saw," Shazam says as he used his magic to project the visions that Damien saw earlier, and his face paled. "Oh, dear. I hope you can survive the trials ahead young Damien Heart for Black Adam wouldn't be the last enemy you will face."

Superman grunted as Black Adam struck him down, with a magically enhanced punch, and sends him falling towards the ground. Superman moans as he tries to stand up but fell down as he slowly went unconscious.

"Whoa!" Damien exclaimed while falling through the portal that Shazam made for him, and landed on the ground. "That was...weird," Damien says before gasping as he saw Black Adam flying towards Superman, and grabbed the Man of Steel by his cape.

"One potential obstacle destroyed. Now to finish off the other." The former champion says as he was about to snap Superman's neck when Damien stepped up.

"Hey! Leave him alone, hobbit!" Damien says as Black Adam turned to him in surprise, and the young teen sweated nervously. "What the hell am I doing?" Damien asked himself as Black Adam chuckled.

"You're alive? An impressive trick." Black Adam said while tossing Superman away carelessly as Damien glared at him.

"Not as impressive as this!" Damien shouted as he charged at Black Adam, and threw a punch at his stomach...but it didn't affect the former champion in the slightest. Not willing to give up, Damien continued punching Black Adam while throwing some kicks as well. Black Adam gave the teen an amused look as he grabs Damien by his leg, and threw him off. Damien grunted as he landed harshly against the pavement, and looks down at his body in confusion.

"I don't get it. Why didn't it work?" Damien asked to himself as Black Adam heard him, and laughed.

"Amusing. The Wizard finally gave you your powers, but he neglected to show you how they work." Black Adam says as Damien's eyes widen in fear, and crawled away from the imposing villain.

"Superman! A little help here!" Damien shouted, but Clark couldn't help him since he was still knocked out. Black Adam grinned as he slowly walked towards Damian Black, and raised his hand that glowed with yellow electricity. "I need a little help here, Shazam!"

A bolt of blue lightning rained down from the sky as it headed straight towards Damien, and hits him in his chest as a dust cloud covered his body. Black Adam stared at the dust cloud apprehensively as Damien slowly walked out of the smoke, and looks remarkably different from before. Damien's facial features grew sharper, his body grew an inch taller, and it was much more muscular than before, and even his clothes had changed. The young teen was now wearing a blue bodysuit with a lightning bolt symbol on his chest, Ancient Greek golden bracelets, a golden sash wrapped around his waist, and golden shoes. He also wore a white cape with a hood and a gold trim. Damien Hart has now transformed into his champion form, Captain Marvel.

"Holy cow, I feel...awesome!" Captain Marvel says with a grin while noticing that his voice was a tad bit deeper as Black Adam roars in anger, and charges at him as he threw a punch. One which Captain Marvel caught with ease as he responded with an uppercut that sends Black Adam flying a few feet ahead of him.

"Whoa! I'm strong!" Captain Marvel says while staring at his fist in shock as large shadows covered him. The captain looked up and saw a horde of cars falling towards him. Captain Marvel swiftly reacted as he took off into a sprint and ran from the middle of the city to the Metropolis Park in the blink of an eye.

"I'm fast!" Captain Marvel says, overjoyed at his new abilities as Black Adam showed up while carrying a truck as he tossed it at the new champion. Eyes narrowing in concentration, Captain Marvel took off into the air as he made it Black Adam's position in no time, and punched him away. Sending the former champion flying halfway across the city as Damien cheered in excitement.

"I can fly!" Captain Marvel exclaimed, noticing that he was levitating in the air as he looked down at his hands, and saw that it was sparkling with blue electricity. Captain Marvel held out his hand experimentally as he shot a small lightning blast into the sky, and he flew back in shock.

"And I can shoot lightning!? This is the best day ever, and all I had to do was say, Shazam!" Captain Marvel says as a bolt of lightning appeared from the sky and hits him in his chest, transforming him back into Damien Hart.

"Oh, shiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!" Damien screamed as he started free-falling into the sky and was heading straight to the ground. "Shazam!" Damien yelled as a bolt of lightning appeared and changed him back into Captain Marvel as he quickly took flight and flew back into the air. "Man, that was close. Got to remember not to say the 'S' word when I'm flying." Captain Marvel says as Black Adam suddenly appeared and grabbed him by his cape as he swung him around and threw him into the air as he landed on the outskirts of the city.

"Huh, I guess I have invulnerability as well." Captain Marvel says as he noticed that the fall didn't hurt him as much.

"I did not spend 5000 years traveling across the infinite void of space to be thwarted by a snot-nosed brat!" Black Adam shouted in anger as Captain Marvel glared at him, not feeling scared any more thanks to his Courage of Achilles as he stood up.

"Well, I'm no longer a snot-nosed brat anymore. I'm now Earth's new champion, Captain Marvel, and I will defeat you!" The young champion heroically says as magical villain scoffed.

"Oh, please. We may have the same powers, but what differs us is that I have thousands of years of experience while you only had them for a couple of minutes." Black Adam says as Captain Marvel saw a glint on the horizon, and smirked.

"Well, I also note another difference." He says as Black Adam raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, yeah, and what is that?" Black Adam says, before being punched to a mountain by a pissed off Superman.

"I got back up." Captain Marvel says with a grin as Superman turned to him, and blinks in surprise.

"Damien? Is that you?" Superman asked as Captain Marvel nodded.

"Yeah, it's me, Superman-Wait, how did you know my name?" Captain Marvel asked as Superman sweated nervously.

"Uh, never mind that. But more importantly, what happened to you?"

"Well, when I was escaping from Black Adam, I met up with this homeless man that I've met earlier, and-" Captain Marvel, but Superman stops him.

"The short answer, please. We're kind short on time here." He says as Captain Marvel blushed embarrassedly.

"Right. Short answer, a magical wizard gave me powers, and I'm Black Adam's replacement."

"Then, let's replace him," Superman says as a loud yell caught his attention, and he couldn't react in time as Black Adam tackled him into the air, and started punching him.

Superman quickly reacted from the surprise attack as he shot his heat vision on the former champion's face. Blinding him for a second as Superman threw a punch, which Black Adam blocked as he kicked him away. Superman grunted as Black Adam was about to kick him again. When suddenly, Captain Marvel came in as he threw a punch at Black Adam's face, sending him flying to the ground.

"You okay?" Captain Marvel asked as Superman was about to retort when suddenly his eyes widen.

"Look out!" Superman warned as the young champion turned around, and saw a big boulder heading towards him at high speeds. Captain Marvel held out his as he fired a lightning blast at the rock, destroying it into smithereens. But it turned out to be a distraction as Black Adam suddenly appeared above him, and held out his hands.

"Shazam!" Black Adam yelled, before quickly moving out of the way as a yellow lightning bolt rained down on Captain Marvel, and changed him back to normal.

"Not again!" Damien screamed as he started falling through the air.

"Damien!" Superman worriedly says as Black Adam blasted him away and chased after Damien with his hand sparkling with electricity.

"Shazam!" Damien shouted over the soaring winds as Black Adam's eyes widen in fear, and quickly moved out of the way. Just as a bolt of blue lightning appeared as Damien changed back into his champion form, and stopped falling. "Nice try, dirtbag! That little plan won't work on me! In case you forgot our powers work the same way, you dummy. If you try to hit me with a lightning bolt, then I can do the same!" Captain Marvel says, his Wisdom of Solomon telling him what Black Adam was planning as the magical villain growled, and charged at him.

The two champions engage in fisticuffs as Black Adam threw a kick, and Captain Marvel grabbed it as he threw him off. Black Adam swiftly recovered as he threw a deadly lightning bolt at Captain Marvel. But luckily, Superman intercepted his blast with his heat vision, and before Black Adam could react. Captain Marvel flew towards him and grabbed him in a bear hug.

"What are you-"

"Shazam!" Captain Marvel shouted as a lightning bolt rained down on them, and transformed them back into their mortal forms as they started free-falling into the air. "Ew! Gross!" Damien says in disgust as he noticed that Black Adam's mortal form looks like a living breathing corpse, and lets go of him.

"You little bastard!" Teth-Adam cursed with a raspy voice as Damien cringed. "Shazam!" Teth-Adam screamed as he changed back into Black Adam, and charged at him with fury in his eyes as he was about to kill Damien. But luckily, Superman showed up as he tackled the former champion mid-air, and grabbed him by his waist.

"Now, Damien!" Superman screamed as Damien nodded.

"Shazam!" Damien shouted as he changed back into Captain Marvel, and flew towards Black Adam as he delivered a magically enhanced punch at his face. Producing a shockwave that caused Superman to let go of Black Adam, and the former champion was sent flying close to the Metropolis Dam.

"Why did he look like a zombie when you guys changed back?" Superman says as Captain Marvel shrugs.

"The Wizard told me he banished Black Adam thousands of years ago in space, so to survive. I guess he remained in his champion form indefinitely, and since he has been stuck in his champion form for so long. His body aged 5,000 years all at once." Captain Marvel explained as Superman nodded.

"Good to know, let's go after him," Superman says as Captain Marvel nodded, and they chased after the magical villain.

Black Adam grunted in pain as he landed harshly against the pavement, before bouncing back as he landed near the dam. Black Adam shakily stood up from the ground as he felt warm liquid leaking down his face, and froze as he realized that Captain Marvel had made him bleed. Seething in anger, Black Adam was about to charge at the heroes when suddenly his Wisdom of Zehuti told him that he could never beat them both at the same time.

Black Adam sighed, but reluctantly trusted his Wisdom of Zehuti as it told him that he needed to separate them to win. Looking around, Black Adam noticed the large dam planted in front of him as he grinned, and his hands glowed with yellow electricity. Captain Marvel and Superman arrived on the scene just in time to see Black Adam thrusting his hand into the dam, causing it to crack as water spew out.

"No!" Captain Marvel screamed as he flew after Black Adam while Superman dealt with the Tsunami. "Why?" Damien asked in anger while Slamming Black Adam into a wall as the former champion grinned.

"A necessary strategy. Divide and conqueror!" Black Adam screamed as he punched him away and flew off as Captain Marvel quickly recovered, and flew after him. Captain Marvel chased Black Adam for a while until the former champion suddenly slowed down as he landed on the road, cracking the ground beneath him as a car was heading straight towards him.

Without looking, Black Adam sticks out his leg and stops the car in its tracks. Sending the passenger off of her vehicle as Black Adam grabs the passenger with ease. Damien's eyes widen in terror as he realized that the passenger was actually his rescuer, Nora Quincely.

"Mrs. Quincely." Captain Marvel quietly gasped before narrowing his eyes as he landed on the ground. "Let her go, Adam!" Damien demanded as Nora looked in between them, terrified.

"P-Please, help me! I have a son at home! His name is Damien Hart! I can't leave him alone! Not after everything he had been through! Please save me!" Nora pleaded with tears in her eyes as Captain Marvel's eyes widen in surprise.

"S-She thinks of me as her son?" Damien says with tears threatening to spill his eyes before composing himself, knowing that one wrong move can kill her as he glared at Black Adam. "Drop her." He demanded as Black Adam stared at the quivering form of Nora with disgust.

"Is this who I was to protect? Why? Because they are weak?"

"I said, put her down!" Captain Marvel screamed as he was about to rush at him. But Black Adam tighten his grip on her neck, choking her a bit as Captain Marvel immediately stopped.

"When you crush an ant beneath your foot, do you feel remorse? No. Is this because you are evil or because you recognize yourself as a higher form of life? This is what the Wizard could not understand. If I was gifted with the powers of the gods, then am I not a god myself? Should I not be treated as such?"

"We are not gods, Black Adam. We may have the powers of one, but we are still mortal inside. We still have our weaknesses and limitations. Look, Adam. I know what you're going through." Captain Marvel says, stepping forwards as Black Adam stared at him curiously. "I know what it feels to lose the people you love. When I was 6, my parents and my little sister died in a house fire while I was away at a sleepover. Ever since that day, my life had gone straight to hell. I was sent to a foster family that abusive me for years until I ran away. And then, I spend the next 3 years living on the streets, begging for money, protecting myself from muggers and pedophiles, and nearly starving to death on a couple occasions."

Black Adam stared at him in shock. Not believing that a child had to live through that as his grip on the young woman lessened. Nora gave the young champion an odd look. Wondering why his backstory sounds so familiar to her as Black Adam slowly lets Nora down.

"Then why do you still fight, champion? No kid can possibly live through that without feeling broken." Black Adam asked as Captain Marvel looks up somberly.

"I nearly was, Adam. I was actually thinking of killing myself at one point to get away from all the pain." He says, surprising both Black Adam and Nora as Captain Marvel looks at Nora, and smiled warmly. "But then this kind woman came to me and took me out of the streets. She gave me a roof over my head, gave me money to buy food, clothes, and gave me an education. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here, Black Adam."

"And, who was this woman?" He asked as Captain Marvel pointed at Nora.

"Her. Nora Quincely, or what I like to call her Mrs. Quincely." Captain Marvel says as Nora's eyes widen, realizing that the only person who calls her that was...

"Damien..." Nora breathed out with tears falling down her face as Captain Marvel smiled.

"Hey, mom." He says, surprising her with what he said as he grinned. "We'll talk about this later." Captain Marvel says as Black Adam glared at him.

"Well, lucky for you that you have someone, Damien, but I have no one! Those bastards killed everyone that I cared about while I was out being playing hero! What's the point of being Earth's champion if you're alone?!" Black Adam shouted as Captain Marvel smiled and looked up.

"Shazam!" Black Adam gasped in shock as Captain Marvel willingly transformed back to his mortal form, and walked towards him.

"But your not alone, Adam. You can have me, and the Wizard as well if you guys make amends. You can even be part of our family if you like? What do you say?" Damien asked while raising his arm for a handshake as Black Adam stared at his hand and slowly reached for it. Damien smiled, thinking that Black Adam was going to shake his hand, but then gasped in shock as he smacked it away.

"Sorry, Damien. I'm too far gone." Black Adam says as he turned and tossed Nora away.

"Aah! Damien!"

"Mom! No! Sha-" Before he could summon his powers and save his mother, Black Adam came in as he grabbed Damien by his mouth, and gave him a regretful look.

"I'm sorry, Damien. Maybe in another life, we could've been family, but for now, the only thing I see is an obstacle in the way of me reaching full godhood." Damien trembled in fear as the former champion was about to snap his neck. When suddenly, Black Adam was blasted away by Superman's heat vision. Causing him to let go of Damien as the young teen looks up, and gasped in joy at seeing his mother being carried by Superman.

"Mom/Damien!" Damien and Nora screamed as they rushed over to each other and hugged. Clark smiled at the scene, before turning to a bewildered Black Adam as he glared at him.

"How did you stop the flood?" Black Adam asked as Superman grins.

"Freeze Breath," Superman answered as he points behind him, showing a giant glacier. "Another power you don't have." Superman snarkily says as Black Adam growled.

"Oh, yeah? Well, I have a power you don't have, magic! Shazam!" Black Adam yelled while quickly moving out of the way as a yellow lightning bolt hits Superman's chest. Causing him to scream in pain as he was sent flying away, and Black Adam chased after him.

"Come, on, sweetie. Let's go before that bad guy shows up." Nora says as she grabs Damien's hand, but he shakes her off.

"No, mom. I have to end this fight. Superman can't defeat Black Adam with his weakness of magic. I'm the only one here that can stop him...for good." Damien says, rather darkly as Nora stared at him in surprise. Nora was even more surprised as the skies above them darkened, and Damien's eyes glowed blue as his body radiated with blue electricity.

"Shazam!" Damien yelled, feeling angrier than he has before in his whole life as blue lightning bolt hits his chest, and transformed him into his Captain Marvel form.

Black Adam grinned at the nearly knocked out form of Superman as he was about to finish him off. When suddenly, Teth-Adam noticed the clouds above him turning black as the sound of thunder rang out, and he didn't have time to react as Captain Marvel suddenly appeared. Flying way faster than he had before as Captain Marvel punched his arm, effectively breaking it as the ground below them cracked from the force of his punch.

Black Adam howled in pain as Captain Marvel suddenly appeared in front of him, looking absolutely pissed as he punched him in his stomach. The former champion coughed out blood as he was sent flying into the air, and before he could recover. Captain Marvel flew in as he used his Strength of Hercules to punch Black Adam across his jaws, breaking all of his teeth as a shockwave rang out, and destroyed nearby windows.

The angered champion then grabbed Black Adam by his leg as he twirled him around so fast that it looks similar to a hurricane. And then hurled him towards the floor as a large crater was made upon impact. Black Adam didn't even have time to groan as Captain Marvel suddenly appeared beside him, and grab him by his neck as he lifted him in the air.

"Easy there, you got him," Superman says, not liking how rough Damien is acting towards the magical villain as Black Adam looks down at Damien smugly.

"It changes you, doesn't it, Damien? The power?" Black Adam asked before gaging as the young champion applied more force on his grip.

"It only changes that I can choose my own fate now." Captain Marvel says as Black Adam smirked knowingly.

"Like a god, maybe?" He asked as Captain Marvel gritted his teeth in anger, and his hands glowed with blue electricity.

"That's enough, Damien," Clark says as the teen shakes his head.

"He knows what I look like, Superman. He knows which city I live in, and knows who my mom is. I have to kill him to protect her!"

"How? By being like him?" Superman says as Captain Marvel's eyes glowed blue.

"No, by being stronger than him." Captain Marvel says as he was about to summon a Shazam bolt when suddenly Nora came in and gave her son a pleading look.

"Please, don't do this, Damien! You're so much better than him, you can stoop to his level! Please, son!" Nora screamed, not wanting her son to become a killer as Captain Marvel looked down at his mother.

"I have no choice, mom! I have to protect us!"

"But at what cost, Damien? Please make the right choice! Remember what your parents said about being a good person! Please be good!" Nora says as Captain Marvel eyes widen, and remembered his parent's words as his eyes stopped glowing, and he lets go of Black Adam.

"This is far from over. Only death will stop me." Black Adam says as Captain Marvel was about to respond, but was cut-off by a familiar voice.

"You're forgetting option number two...banishment. I will take it from here, captain." Tawny says, appearing out of nowhere as Black Adam's face paled at the sight of the homeless man.

"Tawny," Teth-Adam says while whimpering in fear as Captain Marvel stared at him in surprise.

"You know the homeless guy?"

"How do you know him?" Nora worriedly asked as Captain Marvel gave her a sheepish look.

"It's a long story, I will explain later."

"Still the Wizard's lackey, I see." Black Adam says as a white glow covered Tawny's body, and he transformed into a tiger

"Lackey, kid's guardian angel, superhero talent scout. Guess I do a bit of everything." Tawny says as everyone, minus Black Adam, looked at him in surprise.

"Okay, today I was almost killed by a supervillain, found out my son is a superhero, and now there is a homeless man that could turn into a tiger. Today is officially the weirdest day of my life." Nora says as Superman chuckled.

"Welcome to my life. This is actually a pretty average Tuesday to me." Clark says as Tawny gracefully leaped into the crater, and walked towards the frightened Black Adam.

"I was thinking this time, Shazam could send you so far across the universe that it will take you 10,000 years to get back."

"No, not again!" Black Adam screamed as Tawny grinned, revealing his sharp tooth.

"Oh, you better believe it."

"No!" Black Adam screamed while flying into the air as he glared down at his enemy. "You may have won this time, Captain Marvel, but know this! I will return!" Black Adam says before turning around as his body glowed with yellow electricity. "Power of Aton! The Swiftness of Heru!" Black Adam says as he suddenly took off, flying at Hypersonic speeds as he took off into space.

"Whoa! Can I do that?" Captain Marvel asked Tawny excitedly as the shape-shifting tiger laughed.

"In due time, captain. You're still a rookie." Tawny says as Captain Marvel pouted.

"You have some unusual friends," Superman says as Captain Marvel grinned.

"Yeah, but you too, right?" He asked as Clark nodded.

"Yeah, anyway now that Black Adam is gone, for now, it's time for me to take off," Superman says while slowly levitating in the air. "It was a pleasure working with you, captain," Clark says as Damien smiled.

"Yeah, it was nice working with you too, Superman. I hope we meet again soon." Captain Marvel says as Superman grinned.

"Oh, we will. See you tomorrow for breakfast!" Superman says as he flew off.

"Bye-wait breakfast? What is he..." Captain Marvel says before he stopped talking as he connected the dots, and smirked. "Oh, now I know what I mean. See you tomorrow, Mr. Kent." Captain Marvel quietly says as Nora walked up to him and placed her hands on her hip as she gave him a stern look. "We have a lot to talk about, don't we?" Captain Marvel sheepishly says as Nora nodded.

"Yeah, we do, but first...fly us home!" Nora screamed while jumping into his arm with childish glee as he chuckled.

"Alright, then." He says before turning to Tawny. "Hey, Tawny. Will, I ever see you or Shaz-uh, I mean, the Wizard again?" Captain Marvel hopefully asked as Tawny nodded.

"Of course, I will always be around to protect you, captain. And if you ever want to train or want to talk to Shazam, just go and take the subway." He says as Captain Marvel nodded, and took off as Nora squealed excitedly. "So, did he perform well, Shazam?" Tawny asked as an astral form of Shazam appeared standing beside him.

"Yes. Damien Hart performed way well than I expected, but I still worry that I gave him his powers too soon. We both know what happened the last time, I gave a teenager god-like powers." Shazam solemnly says as Tawny shakes his head.

"Nah, I have a good feeling about this one, he won't turn into another Black Adam," Tawny says as Shazam looks troubled. "What's wrong, old friend?" He asked as Shazam sighed.

"While traveling to the Rock of Eternity, Damien told me that he saw a couple of interesting visions. At first, I thought it was nothing, but I fear that in the not so distant future, a great terror will be struck to not only on this universe but many others as well. I need to go and talk with the Gods of Olympus, and summoned the Multiversal Council." Shazam says before looking down at Tawny. "Tawny, you must help me train Damien Hart because he will soon face men that will be hundreds more powerful, and more dangerous than Black Adam. It's interpretive that Captain Marvel must be prepared for what's about to come." Shazam says as Tawny nodded.

"I will gladly offer my assistance, Shazam," Tawny says as Shazam smiled.

"Good, because I think it's time that Project: Multi-League comes into fruition," Shazam says before fading away. Tawny sighs as he looked into the fleeing form of Captain Marvel, and frowns.

"Good luck, captain, You're going to need it," Tawny says before transforming back into his human form as he walked away.

Two weeks have passed as we see Damien getting up from his bed in his new apartment, and doing his morning routine as he put on his clothes, and went downstairs. Damien smiled as he smelled the sweet smell of bacon and saw his new mother cooking breakfast.

"Hey, sweetie. Your breakfast is ready." Nora says while putting down a plate of his breakfast on the table as she kissed his cheek. "Eat up. I don't want my little superhero to starve to death while he's fighting crime."

"Mom!" Damien says, feeling embarrassed by her babying him, but secretly loves the attention that he was receiving. After eating a delicious dinner, Damien put on his everyday clothes as he was about to leave, but his mom stopped.

"Oh, honey. I just remembered, after you get out of school, we need to go and get the adoption papers sighed. Now that I have a stable job and a nice home, they will finally allow me to adopt you." Nora says while excitedly squealing as Damien smiled.

"That's nice, Mom. I will be here...unless a crime happens and makes me miss the signing like last time." Damien sheepishly says as he rubbed his neck nervously.

"I still don't get it. You have super speed, how are you always so late?" Nora asked, annoyed as Damien smirked.

"I guess the super tardiness cancels it out," Damien says as Nora rolled her eyes.

"Just go to school, wise guy," Nora says as Damien laughed, and walked out of his house. Damien hums a little song under his breath as he comes across a newspaper, showing his face as he grabbed the paper and read Clark's story about him with a fond look on his face. But then someone grabbed his newspaper and crumpled it up.

"Hey!" Damien yells as he looks up, and was surprised to see the bullies from a few weeks ago, staring at him with a predatory grin.

"Heh, heh. Look, it's the hero." The older teenager says with a laugh as he grabbed Damien by his hoodie, and dragged him to an alleyway. Damien stared at the teenager with a blank look, not feeling intimidated at all since he had faced people much scarier than him. "Oh, look at that. Hero's got nothing to say." He says before leaning in on Damien's face as he grinned. "Come on, say something. I dare you. Come on, just one word." He says just as the clouds above them darkened as Damien slowly looked up to him, and smirked as his eyes glowed blue, and electricity bounced off his skin.

"Shazam!"

And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and remember to leave a review.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
