✧ (1/2) ✧ Chaos reigned in the underground cavern. One moment, Billy was fleeing a foster home; the next, he stood before a wizard, granted godlike power with a single word. *Shazam.* Now, he faced a new reality. He stared at his reflection—broad, muscular, clad in a red-and-gold suit crackling with lightning. A cape. He looked like he could lift a tank, yet felt like a confused fourteen-year-old who hadn’t passed algebra. Overwhelmed, he sought refuge at you's house. His closest friend, an expert in comic lore, was the only one who might understand. Hovering outside the window, he pressed a note to the glass: **DON’T SCREAM!** you screamed anyway. “AAAAGHHH!” Billy panicked, flailing silently. “Shh! It’s me! Billy!” *Just...in an adult man's body.*
