Sivana didn't know the real name of the heir before. He only knew that the old man had already chosen the heir. However, the heir was too young and immature when he inherited the power, so he directly registered a superhero for himself on social media software.
account.
When the Justice League selected young superheroes to go to Mercury for training, they also paid attention to this emerging superhero named Shazam.
Billy is an ordinary little boy living in an adoptive family. He has no means to counter the Federal Shield and the FBI. This kind of law enforcement agency can track down eighteen generations of his ancestors along the network cable, and his personal information will naturally be transparent.
As the principal of Gotham University and Gotham Academy of Magic, Sivana has dealt with Amanda, and after learning about Shazam's situation from her, she was basically certain that he was the heir that the old man was looking for.
Having said that, the specific information is still with Amanda, and Sivana only knows a name, but for people with investigative skills, a name is enough.
After getting the name, Dick called Tim.
Tim, who was sitting in the Wayne Group office, was checking the information database and said to the other end of the phone: "The FBI's information database shows that this guy's main activities are in Wisconsin, and he is most likely a small-town boy.
.”
"You can search around Fawcett City, make some noise, and he will appear naturally."
Dick hung up the phone and told everyone Tim's plan. They all agreed. In this case, they had no time to conduct a blanket search. The quickest way was to lure the snake out of its hole.
The raven teleported everyone to the suburbs of Fawcett City, which is a small city in the Midwest of the United States. It is far less developed than the coastal cities, and the city is also relatively old. You can almost see the end of it from flying.
"What should I do now?" Raven asked: "How about I shout with magic? Or do I get some special effects?"
Dick touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "When you and your father were on the phone that time, I took a look and I thought his image was quite majestic. How about you make a smaller version?"
"That's too scary." Raven hesitated a little, and she said, "It's one thing for super criminals to endanger the safety of the city, but it's another thing for the devil to come. Are you sure he won't be scared away?"
"If I scare you away, can't you just work with your father?" Dick obviously thought more than her. He said: "It's not good to always use funds and fail to achieve results. If you can scare away a few superheroes,
, I will be more confident next time when I need funds.”
Raven thought about it, it was true anyway, if he could be scared off just by looking at his image, he couldn't be considered an excellent superhero, at most he was a coward, and he would have no psychological burden if he was scared.
The raven closed its eyes and floated into the air. Soon dark clouds enveloped the sky above Fawcett City. A huge figure loomed in the clouds, and passers-by stopped one after another.
A pair of eyes burning with hellfire appeared, and the citizens began to scream. The police chief stood in front of the glass of the office and cursed, and hurriedly began to organize manpower.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the American police were in place, but the so-called superhero Shazam was still nowhere to be seen.
Jason observed the situation in the city with a telescope, and soon he put down the telescope and said: "Rachel, stop, if you go any further, it will really cause panic."
Raven had no choice but to withdraw her magical powers, scratched her head in confusion and said, "I didn't see any superheroes. Are you sure it's this city?"
"The ghost you created can be seen in several nearby cities. If he wanted to come, he would have come a long time ago." Aisha turned into a smaller body, squatting on the roof of the building and constantly scanning the city, and then said
: "The photos he posted on his account are quite deceptive. I didn't expect that when the real disaster strikes, he won't even dare to show his face. No wonder he couldn't go to Mercury."
"I think there's something wrong with this." Jason frowned and fiddled with his phone. He said, "I'll send a message to his account and ask what's going on."
Several people came over and saw that Jason was in the private message channel of the social media software, asking him for help in the tone of a citizen victim.
This guy didn't show up, but he responded to the message very quickly. He replied after more than ten seconds, "Don't panic, I'm thinking of a solution, but there's something wrong with my ability, I need time to adjust..."
Seeing this reply, Dick frowned and said, "There is something wrong with my ability. Isn't this a coincidence?"
"Do you need help?" Jason replied. He thought for a moment and then added, "We are a young superhero team, and there are also people with superpowers in the team. Maybe we can solve your situation."
The other person was silent for a long time, as if he didn't quite believe Jason's statement, but it seemed that he was indeed at his wits end and had no other choice. After a while, he replied, "I'm in the parking lot at the corner of No. 24 Beech Street."
"
The Young Avengers team set out. Because the city itself was not big, it didn't take long for them to find the Beech Street. They walked around here for a long time and found no parking lot.
"This kid is quite cunning." Jason said.
"Wait a minute, is that the sign over there for the underground parking lot?" Aisha pointed to a sign at the end of the street. Jason patted his forehead and said, "Pretend I didn't tell you, let's go."
When a few people got closer, they discovered that this was indeed a parking lot, but it was an underground parking lot. The entrance was so small and narrow that you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.
After entering, the light was very dim. Everyone was on alert, worried that it was a trap, but after walking around inside, they didn't see anyone who seemed to be a superhero. Finally, they walked around in the innermost corner and found one.
A child huddled in a car.
Yes, they are children. They look about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although Dick and the others are not that old, they are all college students anyway. The one in front of them looks like a junior high school student.
Dick knocked on the car window. The little boy seemed startled. Dick sighed and said, "Are you Billy?"
"How do you know my name?"
"We have investigated you...forget it, you are the superhero Shazam, right? What's wrong with you?"
The little boy had a complicated expression and seemed a little unspeakable. He rolled down the car window and said, "Aren't you surprised? The great hero Shazam is actually an underage child..."
"The famous hero Batman is still a teenager pretending to be young." Jason said nonchalantly: "Seriously, man, what's wrong with you?"
Jason's simple street temperament seemed to give Billy a little sense of reality. Only then did he dare to look at the people outside the car door, and saw that they were all young, dressed in fashionable clothes, and had a little girl with them.
It really looked like a boy group, so I was relieved.
"I don't know, but there's something wrong with my ability." Billy looked out the car window and said, "I can't transform into Shazam."
As soon as Jason pulled the car door, the door opened directly, which shocked Billy inside. He had obviously locked the car door.
"It doesn't take three seconds to pick the lock of this broken car. You come down first." Jason said.
Billy had no choice but to get out of the car. Raven looked at him and shook his head at Dick. Elsa also looked at the boy in front of her carefully, but just clicked her tongue.
Dick walked over and put his arm around Billy's shoulders, and they started chatting as they walked out of the parking lot.
Billy was a little clever, but not much. He was incomparable to the clever little guys from the Wayne family, and he was quickly tricked out of his words by Dick.
Then they understood why Billy's powers disappeared.
Shazam () is actually not a word, but the initials of the contractor of all the abilities of this superhero. S represents the wisdom of Solomon, H represents the strength of Hercules, A represents the endurance of Atlas, and Z represents Zeus.
of divine power, A represents the courage of Achilles, and M represents the speed of Mercury.
After seeing Zeus, I believe everyone has understood that Shazam's contractors are the Olympus gods.
Now that something happened in Mount Olympus, there is something wrong with Shazam's ability. Now he can't transform even if he calls out Shazam.
Billy can only teleport directly to the Rock of Eternity in the state of Shazam. In the state of an ordinary person, he can't do anything, and the clue is just cut off.
Just when Dick and the others were discussing how to investigate next, Billy seemed to finally get over the sadness of losing his superpowers. He looked at them with excitement and said: "Are you really a young superhero team? Can I
Join you?"
"Only adults are allowed to join," Dick said.
Billy immediately stared at Elsa. Elsa rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Look what I'm doing. I was born at the same time as this universe. I just look smaller."
Billy obviously didn't intend to give up and kept pestering Dick and the others to join the newly established Young Avengers.
Dick thought for a while, Billy's ability was related to the gods of Olympus, and if contact was restored in Olympus later, he might also be able to act as a messenger.
What's more important is that this guy is too young and has a relatively simple personality. If you just let him grow up alone, if he is led astray by others, the consequences will be disastrous, so it is safer to keep him under your nose.
So Dick nodded and said: "Okay, we are short of manpower now. It is not impossible for you to join, but you must obey the management, and during the training period, you may be away from home all year round..."
Billy wanted to join the cool young hero team, so he didn't think too much and excitedly agreed. However, he didn't expect that this so-called superhero training was actually not about fighting crime at all, but about receiving an elite education and getting into a good university.
.
At this time, Raven raised a possibility. The name Faust was not very common. Although he might be an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, as long as he had been active in human society, he would definitely leave traces.
If such traces could be found, it might be possible to find other people who knew Faust and thus learn his location.
Dick called Tim again, but in fact Tim had already thought of this method, and he even thought about it more than Dick and the others.
It may be true that no one in this universe has come into contact with Faust, but this is not necessarily the case in other universes. As long as you find someone in other universes who can contact Faust, or even ask Faust himself, you will of course be able to find his hiding place.
at.
The real difficulty is how to get this cunning guy to hand over the Key of Tartarus obediently.
