I don't own any characters. Captain Marvel belongs to both Disney and the MCU. Shazam! belongs to both Warner Bros and the DCEU. I also don't own Fantasia, it belongs to Disney. I don't own Russian mythology either.

Thank you Movie Brat for choosing to favorite this story.

To all my readers out there who have been affected by the crisis, stay safe and try to find the beauty and hope in the world.


Somewhere in a dark and creepy place, Dr. Sivanna, Mister Mind and Yon-Rogg waiting for Carol and Team Shazam to arrive. Behind them, a bound Mr. and Mrs. Vaquez demanded answers and begged them to go.

"Please we have 6 kids! If anything happens to us, they'll be split up!" Mrs. Vaquez pleaded as she tried not to cry in front of them.

At her words, Dr. Sivanna gave her an evil smile as he answered "That makes things even better."

As he started to walk towards her with killing intent, Mrs. Vaquez screamed and cried as her husband pushed himself in front of her, warning the doctor not to touch her or else.

However, before the evil doctor could do anything, Yon-Rogg stopped him with "No! We need them alive! If Carol and Team Shazam arrive and find them dead, then they'll have no reason to keep us alive or do what we want."

"And what is it that you want from Carol, exactly?" Mister Mind questioned.

"I want her to tell me where my enemies are and where the tesseract is." Yon-Rogg explained.

"What's a tesseract?" Mrs. Vaquez interrupted, hoping to buy herself and her husband more time to escape and keep them busy.

Yon-Rogg gave the couple an amused look as he explained "It's one of five special stones that can be used to change the universe. What the tesseract does is that it can generate infinite energy."

"Why are you working with these guys and what are you going to do with it?" Mrs. Vaquez questioned as her husband quietly shrugged to free himself.

"Well, I'm working with these two gentlemen because your children are protecting Carol and I need her, because she has knowledge of where my enemies are and where the tesseract is. As for what I'm going to do with it, well I'm going to use it to win the never ending war between my enemies and crush them once and for all." Yon-Rogg explained with clear glee in his voice.

Mr. and Mrs. Vaquez exchanged worried looks with each other as they realized These guys are insane!

Mrs. Vaquez kept her attention on her captors as Mr. Vaquez continued to fight against the ropes.

"You made a mistake...our children couldn't have anything to do with this..." Mrs. Vaquez started to protest, but she was quickly interrupted by Dr. Sivanna as he answered "Your kids have everything to do with this. I fought them all a few months ago trying to calm my rightful power."

"Wait a minute! Now I know that you definitely made a mistake, none of our children have any power…" Mrs. Vaquez started to interject, but Dr. Sivanna was much more quicker and much more forceful as he took back control of the conversation with "You're dead wrong! The blasted old wizard chose Billy Batson, him of all people to receive his power! Him! Not me! When he first summoned me, he said I was unworthy! That I would never be good enough! Well, who's laughing now!"

With that, Mr. and Mrs. Vaquez looked at each with worry in their eyes as they slowly realized that almost nothing they could say could convince the group to let them go.

Still, the couple refused to give up. The children are depending on them!

As Mr. Vaquez continued with his struggle, Mrs. Vaquez decided to keep the group talking as she turned her attention to the small caterpillar and alien as she asked "So what's your story? You guys don't seem to have any magic as far as I know?"

Mister Mind turned to look at Mrs. Vaquez as he said "That is where you're wrong, my dear. I have had my dealings with gods and magic in the past, enough to name the gods, in fact."

The Vaquez couple blinked in shock. This caterpillar was the source of all of Earth's mythology?! However, Mrs. Vaquez much to her shock quickly managed to get over it as she asked "How many gods have you named?"

Mister Mind was taken aback for a moment before he replied "I have named all the gods in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, Russian mythology…"

"Wait a minute, Russia has it's own mythology?" Mr. Vaquez questioned.

Mister Mind frowned as both Dr. Sivanna and Yon-Rogg tried not to laugh. After giving both of his partners death glares, Mister Mind turned his attention back to the Vaquezs and said "Yes, Russia has it's own mythology. It may not be as well known as Mayan, Aztec, Egyptian, Greek or Norse, but it's just as awesome. They have Byelobog and Chernobog, also known as the white god and black god…"

"Oh, like Chernobog from Fantasia!" Mr. Vaquez once again interrupted.

As Dr. Sivanna once again started to laugh as Yon-Rogg gave the group a blank stare, Mister Mind started to lose his patience as he ranted "Stop interrupting me! You fools! I'm trying use you for bait and teach you about the history of the world which you clearly forgotten about! I do not know this Fantasia or this Chernobog, but they clearly sound like frauds and imposters!"

"Chill out, it's only a movie." Both Dr. Sivanna and the Vaquezs said at the same time.

Then, the 3 of them turned towards each other and said "You've seen it too?"

"Of course, who hasn't?" All 3 of them replied.

Then, Dr. Sivanna regained focus as he said "I don't have time for this, I need to take revenge on Shazam."

Thus light hearted mood that had started to form was quickly dashed and the Vaquezs quickly remembered why they had been brought here.

Still, Mrs. Vaquez was not one to give up and so she pressed on with "I still want to know more about Russia's mythology and the other gods who you named, Mister Mind."

That got Mister Mind's attention back and he seemed to be pleased that Mrs. Vaquez seemed to be interested in learning from him as he said "Byelobog and Chernobog are always constantly fighting even though they created the world together. However they are not the only gods in Russia, they have the thunder god called Perun, he's the head god after Byelobog. The Russians of old swore oaths by Perun. They have a cattle god called Volos, he's also the god of money and trading. Other gods include, Khors, a sun god, Dazhbog, a god of fire, Stribog, a god of wind, Simargl, a god of crops and Mokosha, the Earth goddess."

"And you met them all?" Mrs. Vaquez asked in an awed tone.

"Yes, but not just them. I've also met the Greek, Egyptian and Norse pantheon as well as others." Minster Mind stated.

"Tell us about them, please?" Mrs. Vaquez questioned.

"I like your interest in learning. You would make a good student, I wish we could've met under different circumstances." Mister Mind lamented.

However before he could continue with his history lesson on mythology, the sound of the ceiling being smashed open interrupted him as the room was quickly filled with cries of "Let them go!"

The trio of villains and the Vaquezs looked up to see the Shazam team and a blonde woman in a red, white and blue space uniform beside them as they floated in the air together.


I'm not making this up, Russia does have it's own mythology as many people from Russia can tell you.

What do you think?
