Fawcett High School.

This high school is the school where "Shazam" Billy Batson currently attends.

It was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and in the counseling room, the Gotham City villain "Scarecrow", who was pretending to be the school doctor "Dr. Phil", was packing up his things.

A few months ago, a mysterious man who claimed to be an "outsider" rescued him from prison and gave him the task of constantly using his expertise to trick Billy Batson.

But now...... Mission over.

Under his repeated psychological suggestion that "the power of the incapable will only cause disaster", yesterday, Billy Batson had shared his power with his father, the biological father [CC Batson].

The purpose of the "outsider" was achieved.

So now? There's no such thing as a scarecrow—

Scarecrow knows very well that from the very beginning of giving Bane a nuclear bomb to try to murder Batman, to now quietly hiring him, using his knowledge of fear to guide Billy Batson's fears, and then allowing the other party to share his powers, the man in front of him, who calls himself an "outsider", has always been the ultimate black hand hidden behind the scenes.

Whatever he wanted to do this time, it had to be a big conspiracy.

But what does this have to do with his scarecrow? The scarecrow didn't care what they wanted to do, it was just a deal.

"Since you're here, come in early."

The scarecrow said without looking back.

Squeak.

The door to the counseling room was opened. A man with a bowler hat and a civilized stick in his hand, with a pale face, walked in first, and it was the "outsider".

Behind him, Dr. Sivana, with one eye filled with thunder and lightning, followed.

The outsider didn't speak first, but Dr. Sivana walked up to Dr. Klein with a smirk on his face, "Dr. Crane!" (Gotham City villain Scarecrow's original name) long time no see! ”

As he walked over, clouds of colored mist erupted from his ears, condensing the image of a meditative mite.

He seemed familiar with the scarecrow, but before he could greet the scarecrow, the outsider preemptively spoke, "Dr. Crane, what do I want?" ”

"Here."

The Scarecrow ignored Dr. Sivana, who seemed much friendlier than an outsider.

He turned around and pulled out a bucket full of yellow liquid from the cabinet in the back: "Powerful Dread Gas, 30 times more powerful than the regular version on the market. ”

Dr. Sivana snapped his fingers, and the lid of the bucket opened. He sniffed it from afar, then immediately closed the lid.

"Good goods. What a scarecrow. ”

"Of course." The scarecrow turned around slowly, looked defenseless, and continued to pack his luggage: "Then, my task is also completed, and I will ......"

However, when he turned his head, he saw the muzzle of the outsider's black hole.

There was a mocking look on his face.

"Are you going to kill me? From the time you finally told me your plan a few days ago, I knew you had no intention of letting me out alive. ”

"Goodbye." The outsider's answer was concise and to the point.

Bang!

However, the bullet missed, and the outsider turned to look at Dr. Sivana who had just used his magic to deflect his arm, affecting the trajectory.

Burst!

The bullet hit the ceiling, but instead of penetrating, it slowly stopped as if it had hit something viscous, and the invisible thing absorbed not only the kinetic energy, but also the sound waves from the shot. The meditative mites had already planted a magical barrier in this room, and no matter what it was, they couldn't get out.

Yikes!

The scarecrow rolled over and put on his own scarecrow mask, followed by a violent spurt of fear gas from the corner of the room. He lunged at the window, as if trying to jump out of it.

Bang!

However, he slammed into the magical barrier like a bullet, and the scarecrow suddenly realized what was happening, and his eyes showed a look of despair.

"Fear of gassing? It's still the old way, Dr. Crane. The outsider said.

His face didn't change in the increasingly dense poisonous gas of fear: "Do you really think this kind of thing will work for me?" ”

He turned his head to look at the Meditation Mites and Dr. Sivana, "Let this damn gas stop." ”

The dreadful gas jet was quickly blocked by Dr. Sivana's magic, and a bolt of lightning shot out of his eye, mercilessly twitching the scarecrow's body.

But his face was ugly.

"You're mistaken, Mr. Outsider."

Facing the outsider's inexplicable gaze, Dr. Sivana stepped forward and picked up the scarecrow who had been electrocuted unconscious.

He removed the scarecrow hood from the other's face, revealing the emaciated face underneath.

Then he reached out and smeared it on that face for a moment, wiping all the makeup off that face.

The outsider's face also became extremely ugly in an instant.

"It looks like the famous scarecrow, Dr. Klein has played us all." Dr. Sivana said: "He had already sensed our intention to kill him, and hypnotized one of the teachers at the school beforehand, using psychological cues to distort the other person's thinking, so that the poor creature thought he was a scarecrow and stayed in the counseling room in his place to wait for us to arrive, while he himself ran away early." ”

"What about the magic tracking I let you put on the scarecrow, Meditation Mites?" The outsider turned his head to look at the meditative mites that existed at the scene in a visual state composed of colored smoke, "Can you find Dr. Klein's location now?" ”

The meditative mite was silent for a moment.

"I can't do it."

"What?"

"Surprisingly, the scarecrow seems to have mastered some magic tricks. He cast the magic of the wizard Shazam to eliminate my tracking, and the wizard Shazam I am talking about is also a member of the wizard's council, who bestowed the power of thunder on Billy Batson's old wizard [Shazam], and his strength is so unquestionable that his name has become a spell that summons the power of thunder. Only his spells can resist my magic. ”

"But where did the scarecrow learn the magic of the wizard Shazam...... Wait, Billy Batson's magic book, Scarecrow as Billy's psychiatrist must have peeked at that book. ”

The Magic Worm exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "What a breathtaking magical talent, and the people of Gotham City often surprise me." ”

"So now that the scarecrow has run, there's a chance he'll leak our plans." The outsider said.

"Don't worry, my friend."

"Dr. Klein has limited knowledge, and it's too late. ”

"And our collaboration is coming to an end, meditative mites." The outsider said.

He pointed to the bucket of fear gas left by the scarecrow: "I also brought you what you wanted." ”

"It's time for me to go back behind the scenes."

He turned, "Bring me Pandora's box, Meditation Mites, and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore." ”

"Of course, of course." "Rest assured, my allies, everything is going according to plan. ”

"We've mastered the power of Thunder Shazam, we've mastered the key."

"What else can stop us?"

……

……

……

"Your experience is inevitably sunny, it won't be a muddy face."

Chen Tao said.

"......" Billy's biological father, Batson Sr., froze in place.

This is the Justice League Justice Hall, and while Chen Tao is busy with other affairs, under Alfred's control, the entire Justice League has been set up in a rough framework.

"Aba?"

The muddy face, who was wearing a Robin uniform next to him and was slumped there like a piece of real mud, heard Chen Tao calling his name, and immediately triggered the keyword.

He turned his head blankly and aimed what looked like his head at Chen Tao, and then his eyes gradually returned to clarity, like a puppeteer manipulating many dolls focusing on a certain part.

"Batman, what's the matter with me?"

"Nothing, dear Clayface Robin."

"Oh. Abba Abba Baba Baba Abba ......"

Seeing that the mud-faced doppelganger switched back to happy cerebellar palsy mode, Chen Tao turned his head and refocused his attention on the old Batson in front of him.

He crossed Erlang's legs.

"What the do you want to join the Justice Alliance?"

This questioning, like an underworld membership assessment, confused Billy's father, Batson Sr.

He turned his head to look at Billy with a pleading gaze, so Billy hurriedly spoke: "Batman, he's ......"

"Your biological father, I know." Chen Tao looked at Old Batson with a provincial gaze: "But I'm obviously asking your father himself." ”

It's very strange, although the preconceived idea that Billy, the "biological father" who suddenly emerged from the horns, must have a problem, but Chen Tao has used a lot of means to screen the other party after the other party came in, but nothing has been found.

However, this made Chen Tao more and more convinced of his own judgment.

"Ah, I didn't want to join the Justice League, just Billy said......"

He suddenly smiled brightly.

"Oops, hee-hee-hee-hee, I'm not kidding you." He smiled and patted old Butson on the back, and then his face suddenly calmed: "You are now a member of the Justice League, welcome to be a superhero, Mr. Butson." ”

He stood up and patted the muddy face beside him, and the other party suddenly turned into a blonde half-naked beauty.

“……”

Chen Tao's face suddenly darkened: "It's wrong, start over." ”

The mud face snorted again, and turned into an oversized dog. Chen Tao took his reins and led it towards the Hall of Justice.

"Let's go, Billy, and Mr. Butson." He said like a tour guide, "I'll check you in first, the first meeting of the Justice League will be held tomorrow afternoon." ”

He turned to them and said, "We're going to talk about how to take down Steppenwolf and a magical worm called the Meditation Mites." ”

He looked at old Batson: "Things are busy, and you can't let people stop, do you?" ”

……

……

……

After the outsider and the meditative mite were separated, they went to a place where there was no one.

The pale-faced man turned on the projector on the civilization stick.

What appears on the image is the mechanical superman.

The voice of the mechanical superman rang out.

"Well done, outsider. Everything was planned. The meditative mites have done most of the things we can't do. The bug thought that [help me open the passage to the Apocalypse and summon the coming of Darkseid] was nothing more than a trick to trick me into the gang, just as he tricked the alien blood mage Atositas into the gang. ”

"He was stupid enough to think that he had pulled me into our alliance, not that the two of us had deliberately designed it."

"He was foolish enough to think that Pandora's Box would be able to open the passage to the Apocalypse Star, but it was just a lie."

"At the end of the day," he said, "only Daseid is in control!" ”

"Of course, of course, my allies." The outsider bent down with some exaggeration: "It's all up to Darkseid!" ”

In the corner where the mechanical superman could not see, the corner of the outsider's mouth curled into a smile.

"Stupid guy ......"

……

……

……

"Batman...... Forehead...... Is there anything wrong with finding me alone? ”

In the room, Billy was somewhat flattered to take the tea that Batman had poured him.

It was a training room, and Chen Tao summoned Billy in the name of solo combat training, and used the magic of the bat mage to completely seal off the room where they were talking.

Then he spoke:

"Even though I've heard it from Alfred, I'm going to ask - Black Adam and the Seven Deadly Sins are still on the run, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Billy Chick nodded like a peck.

"Oh, I'll just ask." He heard Batman say, "Hey, Billy, I'm asking you something." Sometimes...... Have you ever wanted to be an ordinary person? ”

Billy was stunned, then honestly said, "Ah, of course. I wasn't meant to be a superhero. ”

"I'm not a hero, Batman, I mean, I lack the talent to be a hero. ”

"In my short time as a superhero, I've killed a lot of civilians, and even after gaining the ability for so long, I'm still a novice. My dad is so much better than me, you know? He had just gained the power of Shazam, and he beat Black Adam all over the ground to find his teeth! ”

"Maybe the wizard made a mistake by choosing me, I should ......"

Billy babbles on and on that he's too embarrassed to tell this to his new biological father, and he can't tell it to his adoptive parents, who don't know anything about his superhero career.

Phil, the school's psychiatrist who likes to play with scarecrows, may be a good match, but the other party also doesn't know his superhero identity.

Therefore, looking around, in daily life, he did not have anyone who could say something sincere.

Therefore, when facing Batman, he actually felt a little sorry for himself at this time, and he couldn't control his posture.

But what he didn't notice was that the gaze in Chen Tao's eyes was getting colder and colder at this time.

It's almost entirely certain that someone is instilling Billy with his ideas, instilling in a teenager that his own ideas are so simple that they are so easy.

"I'd love to comfort you, Billy, but I'm sorry, sometimes it does. Because of your age, you can't afford the power that Shazam has bestowed upon you. Chen Tao said slowly:

"The situation facing our planet is extremely serious, and every ounce of strength is precious. So, Billy, have you ever wondered ......"

"Share your power with me, as you did with your father?"
