Listen to mama here

I might have talked a few times about Billy and his radio show on Whiz Radio before, but I had another idea pop up

Y'all know that one about Billy, secretly Whiz Kid, radio show host beloved by the Justice League for his views on heroism and opinions? Well, what if one day, while he's doing just another regular radio show segment talking about, idk, villains and the levels of redemption possible, and the other heroes are listening in wherever they are. At home, on a flight, in the car, etc. They're just enjoying hearing this kid talk about really profound matters with maturity and respect, honest to good soulful journalism.

Then, out of the blue, a villain crashes through the building of Whiz Radio and holds all of the employees hostage on live air. The whole encounter is heard by the heroes and Billy is made to report on the event as it happens, trying to be brave and holding back the urge to knock out this bozo ruining his show. The villain makes Billy plead for help on the radio, asking for an insane ransom in order to set the hostages and Whiz Kid free.

The internet goes nuts. The heroes are furious. This was Whiz Kid! One of the best kids around, and a darling of Fawcett city whose voice reached thousands. Everyone expected Captain Marvel to come right away to their rescue, to save Whiz Kid and teach this bad guy a lesson. Maybe this would give Captain Marvel a reason to finally be on the show to be interviewed! More listeners listened in to the channel by the second, waiting for what was to happen next.

Only...Captain Marvel never shows up. It's his city to protect, but for some reason Captain Marvel isn't anywhere to be seen or heard?? What the hell???! Is he seriously ignoring Whiz Kid?!?

Billy can feel his JL communicator buzzing like crazy. The other heroes are trying to get into contact with him because they all love Whiz Kid, but little do they know that Captain Marvel wasn't going to be there to save the day....Billy Batson was going to have to save the day

He had no idea how he was going to do it, but he felt the courage of Achilles burn inside of him to stand up for himself and the other employees.

One by one, Billy takes calls live on the radio show from all over the country, and even one from space?! Oh wow. An anonymous caller from Gothom, a reporter from Metropolis, a forensic scientist from Central City, and some ginger in space (Billy didn't like having to acknowledge Guy Gardner). All these callers found a way to help Billy take down the bad guy with hints and hidden advice, and by the end of the night, Billy was hailed a hero for essentially, "Home Alone-ing" the bad guy through the Whiz Radio building. The bad guy was begging to be arrested at that point.

That episode saw the rate of listeners go sky high! Earning Billy a bonus and many other heroes stopping by to congratulate him for doing such a good job!

However, Billy has a tough time explaining to the League as Captain Marvel as to why he couldn't save Whiz Kid, being thoroughly interrogated by his coworkers on the matter of time management and etc.

#billy batson #dc captain marvel #Shazam #justice league #dc comics #Silly little idea #whiz kid #I saw the post about Billy being Whiz Kid and adored by everyone so I wanted to add on to it #I couldn't find the post tho #I want to write this fic #But too many assignments and WIP's already #If there are spelling errors you did not see them #Cried today so I needed to talk about Billy Batson #Already feeling much better

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Supporting Character Supplemental - Whiz Kid

Takeshi ‘Taki’ Matsuya was a preadolescent when he and his parents were involved in a terrible car accident that killed Taki's parents and left him paralyzed from the waste down. Young Taki was placed at Saint Simon's Academy, a private school for children with special needs and abilities. Whist there, Taki excelled at the fields of computers and engineering.

A Mutant possessing the X-Gene, Taki’s special powers first manifested when he was working on a project and discovered that he was able to manipulate the form and functionality of pieces of machinery. He came to realize he possessed a rare form of telekinesis called ‘technoformy.’ This allows him to alter materials to function in accordance to his specifications, even to the point of being contrary to the laws of nature and science. The ability enabled him to build all manner of incredible devices, including an anti-gravity seat to replace his old wheelchair.

During his time at Saint Simon’s, Taki befriended the fellow Mutants, Artie and Leach and the three of them joined the X-Terminators so to assist The X-Men during the Inferno event. Given the codename of ‘Whiz Kid,’ Taki was later recruited into Avengers Academy.

More recently, Whiz Kid has relocated to the Mutant nation of Krakoa where he has acted as a member of the SWORD support team known as The Six.

Whiz Kid first appeared in X-Terminators #1 (1988).

A-T-3 175 G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid - Play That Beat Mr D.J.

Tommy Boy classic from before 'hip hop' became synonymous with 'rapper' and the DJ was just as important. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life was still a massive hit when this record came out but records about DJs had been popular since at least the 1960s, I'm thinking the excellent Hey Mr. DJ by Bobby Moore. Tracks about DJs became more numerous with disco, where club DJs were becoming as powerful as radio DJs for breaking new records

Interestingly, even though we'd had The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel, The Grand Mixer Cuts It Up by Grand Mixer D.St (A-T-2 103), and Malcolm McLaren and The World's Famous Supreme Team's Hobo Scratch (A-T-2 102) etc. Play That Beat Mr D.J. is still about a radio DJ rather than a DJ in a hip hop group, or turntablist. Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay (the b-side to the single Hard Times) is about to change all this when that track is released at the end of 1983. Despite G.L.O.B.E missing out writing about his DJ as a musician and going on about 'request lines' Play That Beat Mr D.J. is one of the earliest examples of a call and response record between a DJ and an MC

MC G.L.O.B.E. was a member of the Soulsonic Force and the Zulu Nation, he was also on the terrific B-boys Beware by Two Sisters. Sadly Whiz Kid's life was cut short, he was a pioneering DJ in the early days of hip hop. DJ Skribble and Gangstarr paid tribute to Play That Beat Mr D.J. in the late 1990s

Play That Beat Mr D.J. was a big record, it's still a source of much sampling, popular in the Miami bass scene as well as with turntablists

The other story to tell about this record is to promote it Tommy Boy records came up with a competition to remix it (an idea that is still used for promos), and in the process they would change musical history

Continuing with the theme of strangely brutal violence toward children in this comic, look at how Whiz Kid gets stomped on by this gigantic man. Like, Whiz Kid doesn’t have any physical powers. He builds things. And he gets completely squished here. He’d be a pancake. But beyond all comprehension, he survives this, and awakens to this Junji Ito hellscape.

Ahhhh Jesus kill me again!! Kill me again!! It makes no sense how Taki survived getting stepped on by a 10 ton man, but imagine going through all that and then waking up to a room full of this shit.

“I don’t care if this kid was paralyzed BEFORE he got stepped on, he can talk, SO TALK.” Jesus Cable!! Why are all the adults treating the children in this comic like Hollywood producers on the set of the old Dennis the Menace TV show! Is this a reflection on Fabian Nicieza’s views on kids?? (New Mutants Annual #7 – 1991)

Expectations: Chapter 3 - Ego Crusher

Word count: 2030

Summary: Are we just pawns, is that it? Villains, Heroes or Lucky? Right.

P.S: Btw Whiz Kid doesn't have a real name, so I name her Tatiana Reed (for the sake of the story). She'll be call Tatiana Reed in this fan fiction, and all my future ones I'll use that Marvel Hero~

Wednesday, July, 26. Bella's POV. Ashley High School: Building 7 - 2 floor. 10:00 am.

I don't feel like I mind Wally. She is pointing to stuff with such an amazing sense of humor. 10 minutes ago, she called the Cheerleaders, "Stuck-up bags of emptiness. The disappointment of freshman when they try to hit on nothing just an empty body with brainless interest". They glare so much at her while Wally walks away with these flow around her.

She is very confident, and she hardly asks me anything. I am not sure which one it is. She doesn't want to ask because she doesn't want me to ask her questions, or she just doesn't care? I am going with the latter.

She seems like the type of girl not to care about anyone, but her own wellbeing. I can completely see that one. I don't mind truly. Honestly, I prefer her to anyone that starts asking about my family. Heroes do that a lot I feel like.

It might be a racist thing to say or stereotypical. I just feel they would do something like that and try to fix things for the better; however, they end up making it much worse than it already was. That's a very sucky way to be a hero if you mess something up that bad.

At first glance I can say Wally has her own sense of fashion. She is wearing black skinny jeans with a rose pattern. They specifically on her right thigh. I thought those kinds of jeans were out of fashion; however, it seems they aren't in Wally's fashion style. She has a shirt I can't really read the words because her green winter jacket is halfway zipped.

She is either a punk or in love with the color black. Her backpack looks like a chick camera, long black nails to complement, and black long boots to top it all off. The only thing I do find captivating is her necklace. It's like a rain drop that crystallized so perfectly. I can't stop glancing at it from time to time. I have got the need to ask what is it? Crazy, right? I mean, it could be just like a gift she got. Yeah, that's about right.

"This is building 7 floor 2. This floor holds the principal’s office".

Wally and I glance towards a door at the end of the hall to our right. There stands a male with white hair. Everyone around became extremely silent. Wally shrugs off the weirdness as if it wasn't happening. She points to a room telling me what it is, but I am unable to actually pay any attention to it. A breeze flows on the hallway one after other teenagers appear in front of the male. I watch each of them curious how is that possible.

I have never seen something like that occur. I am pretty sure that's not normal. How can they just appear without a single effort? Do they teleport or something? That's not normal. Yeah, it's a school of heroes. Nobody is normal here. Still, that's just not normal.

"What are they?", I whispered to nobody in particular not able to stop myself. Wally didn't look at me. I glanced at her surprise that she didn't respond even though I wasn't looking for an answer. A look I have never seen before covers Wally's eyes. I follow her eyesight to see Wally and the white hair male locking eyes. His blue orbs lock with Wally's deep blue eyes.

They stare at each other for a very long while before Wally takes herself from the stare. She glances back at me with a calm expression, "What did you say?", she asks me while I glance at the group of males across the room to our right. Wally follows my eyesight this time. She sighs heavily not very amuse, "Figures that you want to know about them, right?"

"Yeah", I quickly added not really looking at Wally. My lips press together before I ask the question that's been bugging me, "Who are they?".

Those simple words attract a few of the members of the group to glance our way. Wally is perfectly positioned to be the only person they see. We are at the far corner closer as soon as they see Wally. They look away as if they have lost interest. Wally sighs heavily once again, " Those are Ashley's Pride and Joy like any normal school has joggers. We get speedsters". I nodded at her words, not taking my eyes off the speedsters. Wally gives me time to grab my mind around it. She looks back at me, and I look up at her. Wally rolls her eyes at my form, "What?".

"Don't go falling in love now. You have a better chance of romance with the X-men", Wally sarcastically points out locking eyes with me. A wind came from our left just as quickly as the words left her mouth. A Pink Floyd t-shirt with a silver jacket. Brand new blue jeans with shiny sneakers with baby blue laces.

He is wearing a watch on his left wrist while crossing his arms. His belt comes to be visible with all sorts of accessories on it. He has headsets around his neck and goggles on his head. He is wearing it as a headband. A silver-gray hair boy stands there could be around 15. I won't give it much older than that. The silver hair boy stares at Wally, "That's not a very nice thing to say, Walls".

A 'tsk' left Wally's lips as she looks at the boy, "So?". He chuckles a bit while Wally rolls her eyes, "Oh, who is that?". My eyes fell down on a beautiful color skin female. A black crop top with a flowing yellow maxi skirt. She has an unzipped varsity jacket with similar colors as her outfit. Yellow and black sneakers. She leans closer to me, and I am able to see her backpack that's written in graffiti font "My Chemical Romance" at the back. She must be a fan of the band because her phone case says the same thing.

The silver boy grabs the female back, "Tatiana. You know the rules. You can't just move into somebody's personal space". Tatiana pouts, still looking at my form with a light in her eyes. Wally glances at the silver boy, "Don't you have anything better to do?". She didn't seem amused to have two speedsters close by us. That or the obvious crowd we have gained. Tatiana wears a smile ear to ear as her brunette hair falls onto her right shoulder, "Nice to meet you...?"

"Bella", I responded without thinking. Wally snaps her head at me as I gulp. The atmosphere became a tiny bit hard to breathe. Was she hoping for me to ignore them? She nicely kind of asks. Was I supposed to do that? Isn't she a hero. Aren't all heroes’ friends? I would believe that. Is that stereotypical? I don't see it that way as all heroes believe every single person that lives in Oster is a vicious villain. I could apply to that with a Big. And. Fat. No. We aren't all Villains. We aren't all bad. I have considered myself a survivalist. I am neither a Villain nor a Hero. I don't want to fall in today's Expectations. The moment you fall into it. There is no way back.

Tatiana smiles at me while she waits for me to shake her hand. Wally stops me from doing it, "First rule, never shake hands with a speedster. There is no way to actually know what they are planning. They are mischievous little machines", I nodded keeping a note for that. Wally knows what she is saying. She has seen them more times than I have. A sadden expression covers Tatiana's features. She sighs heavily glancing at Wally before speeding away in a blur of yellow and black, "That was a compliment, Wally. You are always full of surprises". Wally didn't seem to fall under the silver-gray hair boy charms. She stands her ground as she glares at him.

The bell rings, making all sorts of students populate the halls. Wally soon lost interest in the boy as she gives in, "She is Bella Guilmore. She is the new girl here at Ashley's. I am showing her around, better Peter? Leave". She explains as quick as she snaps at him. Peter nods before walking away into the crowd, "That wasn't so hard, was it Wally?". He speeds away before Wally could say anything back to him. She sighs looking at me, "Stay very away from them. They can't settle down or keep one girl". I nodded, keeping a note of this before she guides me to my first period.

Wednesday, July, 26. New Character's POV. Vigorous Preparatory: Her room. 10:15 am.

A sigh escapes my lips as I rest my head on my fluffy pillow. A soft fluffy pink blanket covers my body while I look into nothingness. My mind can't recover from the news I got a few months ago. I have been missing classes on the excuse of sickness.

A tear runs down my cheeks as I hug my pink fluffy panda doll to my chest, "Lady Stella". A gentle voice calls for Stella. She hides her face under her pink panda. Stella's door room softly opens, "It's been 2 months, Lady Stella. Ms. Lloyd wonders where you have gon-".

"I am not home! I am not leaving! I am not going", I shouted at the top of my lungs. Silence creeps through for a few minutes before Stella hears a voice, "As you wish, Lady Stella. You are not home".

A soft click alerts Stella that her door room is finally closed. A peak out noticing her door shut. A soft tear falls once again down Stella's eyes. She doesn't know what to do anymore. She doesn't want to leave. She'll stay in her room until Bella returns, or she is transferred to Topwells.

Heroes city.

How can Bella's parents go there? Heroes hate anyone from Oster. What if they bully Bella? I want to be able to protect her. Hehe. That's funny. Bella has been always there for me in good and bad. She has kept me safe from the Bad Apples. They aren't very nice around here.

I can't believe Bella is actually gone. She is gone. It was so quick and sudden. I didn't realize it until it was too late. I told her to stay here with me. We could stay in my preparatory room as roommates. I would bring her food and keep her cozy. I would have done it.

Bella is my best friend after all. We are supposed to be together forever and ever. I watch her back and she watches mine.

A sigh escapes my lips while I sat up on my bed. I look around feeling the weight of everything fall upon me. I try to hold it, so the emotions don't come out at all; however, I slowly start to tremble uncontrollably. I glance at my hands appreciating the pink nails, "What if... she never comes back?". A sob comes to the surface. I shut my eyes pressing my palms on them, so I can stop the tears that are threatening to burst out.

Don't Bella would never leave me! She would never do that! We are best friends!...

We are best friends...

She is my best friend!

That's all it took for me to cry with no stop coming...

Quote

It’s jarring to read a story about a neighbor calling the police on a nine-year-old Black girl spraying for invasive lanternflies, describing the girl to a dispatcher as a “little Black woman walking, spraying stuff”, and then switch over to another tab with a story on the 30-year old “crypto kid” who might’ve just made an oopsie with billions of dollars of customer funds. On one hand, literal children are portrayed in the media as adults, and treated as such in the prison system; on the other, a man who’s been old enough to vote for over a decade is being described as “a young man in need of both defense and a friend” offering refreshments to a reporter “as if we were there for a playdate”.
