Billy found himself surprisingly nervous. The league was in conference now discussing whether to offer him membership.

He had worked with them on a regular basis and trained with Superman, who's powers were most similar to his own. Billy didn't have freeze breath, heat vision or X-ray vision; something that Kara often teased him about.

Billy on the other hand he wasn't susceptible to a certain green rock, and the Kryptonias were particularly vulnerable to magic, which just happened to be Billy's strong point. Tawny told him that one day, when he had proven himself, he would truly have all of the powers of the wizard Shazam and would no longer need to call the wizards name to claim his power. He would in effect BE Shazam.

He had also trained with Batman. Mr. Wayne insisted that he learn un-powered combat and escape. In particular he taught him to get out of every kind of restraint; Most of them involving some kind of mask, gag or other way to keep him from speaking.

That made sense given the fact that he had to speak to gain his power as Captain Marvel.

His sparing sessions with Dick Grayson soon made the two great friends, and a formidable team. Of course since being reunited with his sister he spent most of his time with her. That was okay with Dick, it gave him more time with Barbara.

Along with training he had often gone on assignments with the league, so they would have plenty on which to base a decision about him.

As Billy sat lost in thought two young ladies walked up to him. "What a beautiful sight this is." He said as he noticed their approach. The girls both smiled at the complement. "Hi brother, I heard today is the day."

The other girl, a certain young blond Kryptonian, asked. "Nervous?"

"Yeah, a little. I mean I'm still in the fight even if they turn me down but it would be so awesome to be part of the league. To sit at that table with your cousin...He really has been a role model for me."

"Well if it means anything he speaks highly of you."

"Thanks Kara, it does mean a lot to hear that. I owe him and Batman so much. They've taught me so much; And let me stay up here when it got too cold in the subway..."

Mary hated hearing about that. She never told Billy but she cried when she found out how her brother had been forced to live for so long. She decided to steer the conversation away from his days on the street.

"Well you don't have to do that now. And I get to have my brother right in the next room."

"And I'm happy to have you nearby to."

Kara couldn't help smiling. These two were just so darn cute together. She wondered if she and Kal were like that.

Then Billy remembered something else. "By the way Bruce got a hold of some old photos of our parents. Did you know that when we transform we look a lot like mom and dad."

"Really, you've got to show me."

With a smile he said, "Sure, as soon as we get the decision about the league."

"Okay," Then another thought occurred to her. She turned to her Kryptonian friend.

"I wonder when we'll be inducted to the league Kara."

"I know, Kal keeps saying he doesn't think I'm ready yet. I think he's being over protective."

"I can kind of understand that." Billy said. "I love working with Mary, and I don't want to hold her back...But in a way I do want to." He turned to her. "I couldn't stand it if something happened to you." He said as he put an arm around her.

With a smile Mary said, "No wonder they call you the big cheese." she punched him insincerely in the arm. "Do you think it would be any easier for me if anything happened to you?"

With a sigh Billy answered, "Point taken. I don't hold you back, do I?"

She had to consed, "No you don't. Hey, while we wait why don't we all go flying. They'll take forever in there, we have time."

That suggestion was well revived by the two other heroes. Soon they were off.

When they got to a comfortable altitude Mary chose a game for them, she turned to Kara and slapped her on the shoulder. "TAG, you're it."

Kara didn't miss a beat. Faster than a normal human could see she was off with the Marvel twins following close behind.
