The Power of Shazam! #1 "App"

Journal log 001
It's been three months, Theo, Marilyn, and I have been searching for three months. Nothing has been successful yet. Theo says to hold out, but I'm beginning to not believe his remarks of the Egyptians. He seems like he knows too much about them, like he's making it up by now. It's quite alarming, and I don't want to be here any longer. I want to go home to Billy and Mary. Jesus they must be missing us right now. I'm sure my brother Ebenezer is doing fine taking care of them, even though he was never the kindest at heart. I'll write again tomorrow, Theo just walked into the tent with a knife, he's probably planning on hunting for food this morning.

I sit here, in this lonely subway tunnel, the only place I can call home. Ever since that horrible uncle of mine kicked Mary and I out. I'm not sure why I never thought of subway tunnels as a safe place. It allows the mind to stop and think. My attention is diverted when I see a bright yellow light coming from far down the tunnel.
As I walk down the subway tunnel I notice something glowing on the wall. It’s hard to tell exactly what it was, it looked like a weird animal symbol or something, I think I might have seen something similar from history class at school. I think….it was hieroglyphics that Miss Larson said they were. Yeah, there’s the cat and the weird dog! But why are they doing in a tunnel here on subway?
Actually, where did everyone go? There were about fifty people with me in this tunnel and now it’s empty. This tunnel is never empty, the Fawcett city subway system is always jam packed even outside the usual travelling times to and from work. I see a subway car covered in the symbols, and step inside.
I see a shriveled old man in white robes floating over a stone block. He wields a golden staff, with a blue rock on the top. He notices me and greets me.
“Hello William, would you like to save the world?”
“Uh, is this a joke? You can't be for real.”
“This is all real, William.”
“Eh, what have I got to lose? Sounds pretty cool anyway.”
“Let me introduce myself, I am the wizard Shazam, and you'll be my champion, my Captain Marvel.”
“When can we start?”
Eight days later
It's been about a week after Shazam took me in as his champion, and I have to say it's been pretty awesome. I've learned so many things I didn't even know existed, it's like school but less boring. He's taught me about where my power comes from, the stone on his staff called the rock of eternity, and even some talking tiger he used to know. But today is the day, I finally get to go out and show the world what I can do. I Shazam tells me good luck, and I yell the word ‘Shazam!’. My body becomes engulfed in lightning, and I grow to adult size. I'm covered in a red and white suit, with a yellow lightning bolt on my chest. I fly out if the subway, and arrive in Fawcett City, Philadelphia. I begin to soar above the City, but then I realize I never practiced flying, losing my balance, and eventually plummeting to the pavement. I wake up to see a crowd around me, and I pick myself up, looking around at the unfamiliar faces. A news reporter shoves her microphone into my face.
“Sir, can you comment on who you are? Are you related to Superman?”
“Boy, I wish I was Superman. I'm uh, oh right that was it, I'm Captain Marvel!”
Elsewhere
I walk from my lab and into my office. The television is playing a recent story on the news, a Metahuman in Fawcett City, they call him Captain Marvel. How foolish he is, so clumsy and awkward. If I had his abilities, I would accomplish great things. I'd conquer worlds, nothing would stand in my way. For I am Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, and I conquer all.
END OF APP
This was my Shazam app for the DCSG. I apped because I used to have the EWSG role, but that story will conclude in the issues of EWSG Justice League. I'll be handing DCSG Jaime Reyes off to John to continue using in his Blue Beetle series. I'd like to give huge thanks to 911Bug911 and Supremedalekdunn for editing the app, and helping with the writing process.
