Being Super!
Date of Scene: 04 October 2022
Location: Atlantic Ocean Coastline
Synopsis: The Moon is for lovers.
Cast of Characters: Billy Batson, Sunny Harlow




Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson was going to wear one of those flat board hats you wore when you graduated as a gag. ten decided not to since it was unlikely he'd graduate anytime soon. He arrived on the coastline, merely Shazam. Though as usual he had that backpack under his cape. Well... the place was deserted, strewn with boulders. It was clean which amazed him. Before Sunny arrived he removed a sheet and threw it on sand, weighting it down with some rocks. They couldn't feel cold, sitting anywhere was comfy. You were talking people who could fluff up a boulder like a pillow, but she was a lady and guys looked after things like this.

It was a forlorn stretch of coast. He'd nevr find her without GPS. He ponders throwing some lightning to direct hr further?

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Well...maybe he might. A sonic boom wasn't quite so subtle and this high and this far out? She could get away with that speed! Surging onwards, through the sky, the blonde woman moves over the coast looking to spot the tarp or their meeting place. After all, it should be something she could see from above right? Especially if he started throwing lightning bolts around!

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson hears the sonic boom! He thinks he sees her. When you're Shazam, you kind of make lightning your brand. He begins firing small bolts upward. Wow, mach one! She is getting good. He throws a big blast skyward as she does her fly by! Oops. the last one was a bit much. He's just showing off. Ah she ought to be 0kay!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Oh...alright then! She wasn't quite fast enough to avoid a lightning bolt so much as avoiding a where he was aiming. Giving a little spasm as she was hit by the bolt and the smell of burning spandex had Sunny shaking her head before turning to face him, grinning a little....and then there was an explosion of motion as she turned into a blonde bullet headed towards him intent on tackling him into the sand.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson was not used to dodging. He was also about to ask if she was all right. So he indeed gets tackled and goes down.

Maybe sh didn't know her own might? He goes down at a speed of a few hundred miles an hour. There is an explosion of sand. Maybe she got more than singed. Maybe she's angry? Time to take a short break to assess, after the sand settles. He throws his arms around the blonde fury to get her to stop.

"Hey quit it! Oof! Stop! Wait a minute!" Add to this he's trying not to grab anywhere covered by a swimsuit. Fighting a girl is hard!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Mostly her suit was intact save a singe here and there, elevation and thin air having helped prevent proper ignition. Their collision? Was it angry? Vengeful? Dangerous? Welp...given she was laughing as she was pulling back? Probably not. More likely than not? Indestructibelle was happy to have a 'playmate' who was as invulnerable as she was.

Billy Batson has posed:
The laughter was indeed a tip off. Billy knows the need for restraint. As Shazam he moves around a world made of cardboard. The upside is he can become Billy and go to a skatepark whenever he needs to cut loose. He's vey glad she didn't get hurt by the lightning or slamming him. However, suddenly all his plans of careful power analysis (he even brought a calculator and notepad!) evaporate. Maybe she hit him too hard? Maybe she hit him just right?

Shazam drops into a more defensive crouch and makes a c'mon gesture. Someone needs to cut loose.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Sunny was tough, but she wasn't a martial artist. One couldn't exactly train in proper trained fighting without giving away her secret or breaking someone...so it was mostly working it out herself or maybe watching a movie or two. Still beaming, she surges forwards swinging a punch, a flurry of strikes and swings before she takes to the air before attempting the 'Superman' punch.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson starts blocking the punches. As she jumps into the air he suddenly blurs to the side. Speed of Mercury! Not just for flying. If the move really suckers her in, he'll try for a grapple around her waist. That'll teach her to mess with a guy with three foster brothers and two sisters. Yah Mary was tough and the biggest till recently. Darla bit. The waist it is.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
No siblings, not used to people being stronger than her, she does land with the impact enough to throw up sand, but the sudden tackle brings a startled yelp from the Viltrimite as she's caught. Of course, being grappled and thrown around she couldn't out-muscle him...but she could throw her flight into the mix and accelerate further, trying to drive him off-balance for a moment and wriggle free.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson says, "Oh no you don't!" Shazam is momentarily thrown off balance by the bucking blonde. He hangs on and slips a his right arm up under hers and then behind her neck. Then he applies his own power of flight, to bring his beautiful playmate down into the sand, trying for a pin. He finds the scent of her hair (even though it competes with the smell of 'singe') quite nice. Likewise his cheek nuzzling the nape of her neck. Okay... go Hercules! Let's finish this before it turns awkward.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Hercules! The patron god of wrestling...but then most wrestlers couldn't really fly. They also couldn't propel themselves completely without run-up...but well, the blonde was an alien. Struggling, squirming even for a moment she does indeed seem pinned and turns her head to look at him with a pout...that might well have been a distraction to throw him off his game before she does something clearly -crazy- but certainly creative:

She flies -downwards-, smashing herself into the sand and effectively tunneling into the ground...of course, assuming this got her free she was going to burst forth about 10 meters from where she went in...covered in dirt and with her white suit looking decidedly less so...but a grin on her face.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam is sitting on the sheet he laid out. There's a big gin on his face and he's drinking from a water bottle. "You look like the wreck of the Hesperus!" he announces. "Want a drink? I got sand in throat and... everywhere." Yes a beautiful, blonde wreck. But you have to call time sometime. They could probably fight for days or weeks.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"The what of who now?" the blonde questions, shaking her head and trying to get the dirt out of her hair. A little chuckle, she moves over, reaching for the bottle and nodding her head. "I'm glad I kept my mouth closed...and I went for a bodysuit, or I'd have sand in some really uncomfortable places!"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam smirks. He gets up and says, "Here, let me help you clean up." this is usually something he doesn't have to worry about as Shazam. Gods and heroes never get dirty. It's a minor perk. He takes her by the arm and spins both of them around with blinding speed, letting centrifugal force do the rest. He sits back down and hands her another water bottle.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
It's a good thing viltrumite equalibrium is crazy or that spinning might actually cause some sort of problem. Still, aside from ending up a little windswept? She was fine, clea enough anyway. Shaking her head and fingercombing her hair into loose pigtails held by her fingers for a moment she does eventually free the blonde locks and reach for the bottle, taking a drink for herself. "I caught you off-guard with that tackle thing, huh?"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam nods. "Yeah, you can get a good shot in on someone out of your weight class with a che... surprise attack. Like Superman gets knocked around sometimes but actually hurting him is almost impossible. But sometimes stunning is good. I mean... you're coming int your powers. I guessing you'll be a heavy hitter some day. This is actually good experience. With me, it was the reverse. I had all this power and I didn't know how to apply it? That is much worse. I still hold back at first, suss out the other guy. I don't want to hurt anyone. Least of all you." He leans against her a little. She's far less immobile when he's Shazam. In fact, she seems more a princess than a hero. Everything is relative.

"You want to arm wrestle or something?"

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"A what now?" she pouts at the man, folding her arms underneath her bust and smirking a little before raising an eyebrow. I mean, you're kinda skipping the years that I spent trying really hard not to break everything around me..." she muses softly before shrugging at him lightly. "I mean, we can, but that might just let you show off."

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam nods. "We can do this," he finally says, slipping his arm around her shoulders. "I mean I can't help how I was given these powers. I can understand it was rough for you. But now, you got a... playmate you can't hurt unless you reeeeeeally try hard."

"Hey... you can help ME with something. I think you have a better sense of navigating than me. You said you went to the moon. Want to go again? I've only been in low orbit, by accident. Not needing to breathe was a nice surprise."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I didn't say -no-," She moves, lifting an arm even if she knew that while she could crush steel and concrete with her bare hands like it were nothing, he could do it with even more ease. Still, she finds herself grasped, grinning a little and then tilting her head to the side. "I mean, we could head towards the moon too...I'm a lot faster when I don't have to worry about air friction setting everything...including me, on fire..."

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam ponders the various wardrobe malfunctions Sunny probably had when she was home trained. He doesn't want her to feel bad; but hell Billy was better with her than Shazam. This should come as no surprise. He has the voices of Hercules and Zeus rattle around his head, not the most woke males. Then Solomon comes to the rescue.

"We can thumb wrestle. Strength doesn't matter so very much. It tests gripping strength and speed and I guess how durable your thumb is." Also pinning one or the other? Awkward.He doesn't relinquish his hug but extends his other hand in front of her. "Gripping strength is really important for us. It's not the same as lifting power."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"If you say so," she offers lightly before shrugging her shoulders and offers her hand to his then nods her head. "So...1-2-3-4? Right?" she questions...and jumps straight into attempting to wrestle his thumb down with her own, even if like this he still maintained the advantage!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam acks and gets pinned! He isn't used to someone as fast as her. Hercules scowls, he can feel it. <Batson, thwarted by a mere slip of a girl. I must wear a wineskin o'er my head. Try it again!>

It's his turn to pout, for a second anyway, in a manly way. "You cheated. Again. 1-2-3-4 go!" The thumbs rubbing against each other make a crackling sound. He's starting to grin now. He relinquished the hug, no conflicting interests here! Concentrate.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I seized the initiative!" she pouts before they come at the task again and he moves to match her without suprise now. Welp...this got a lot harder, strength didn't matter, but that whole 'speed of mercury' thing did kinda give him a little bit of an advantage that only their contact gave her a little warning.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam notes that manual dexterity is not Mercury's salient feature. They settle into the contest. Several minutes start and pass. Apparently they are evenly matched in this. Now he is grinning. She is a worthy opponent. <Feint boy, feint!> Hercules advises. Stay out of this. But he does drop his thumb under hers, hoping to slip aside and pin hers when she goes for a win.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
And...victory! A grin from Sunny as she quickly baits, lifts and clamps her thumb down on his. "One-Two-Three!" she declares as quickly and loudly as she could before releasing his hand with a bright whoop of victory and lifting her arms. "I beat Shazam...kinda!"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam smirks. "No 'kinda's about it. You won. You never know how you'll have to resolve a problem." He wriggles his thumb, testing it. Mercury let him down. "You want to see Iceland or the Moon or do you need to be at work or class or something? You want to stay here and hang?" He emphasizes the last choice. The Moon, well he isn't sure how long that'd take. He could show her Iceland but it is still day there and the aurora is beautiful at night. Without realizing it he takes her hand again, but not to wrestle further.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I have to work tomorrow, so even Supersonic flights might be tricky...maybe we just take a little trip -up- and see what happens." Grinning, it was -her- turn to wrap her arms around him lightly and then turn her attention upwards before zooming upwards, headed to the skyline and the promise of the stars above.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam comes with, as the saying goes, keeping her arms around his neck. He lets her set the pace. It is very easy to be a show off as Shazam with her. His lips part, letting the air out of his lungs. Not strictly necessary. He can't get the bends or have his lungs explode. But when he forgot to do that before he let out an excruciating belch the first time he opened his mouth.

Mach 1 straight up is pretty fast. Planes do not go straight up. In about a minute you leave most of Earth's atmosphere behind you and a normal human would need a spacesuit. He let go of her hand when she wrapped her arms around his neck. With nowhere else to go he grasps her waist and settles for seeing the stars reflecting in her blue eyes.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Apparently either of them weren't going to have to worry about pressure, heat, cold or radiation in space....sure Sunny hadn't quite developed that whole sustaining herself on sunlight thing yet, but she certainly didn't seem, bothered to be flying into the vacuum. She just needed to not try to breathe...but given she could hold the oxygen in her lungs for a -day-? That was probably going to be fine.

Now they're there, hovering above the skyline of the planet below that brings a smile to her lips before she released him, a silent giggle welling up in her throat before she turned took off with speed that may well rival him.

Okay, a lack of air resistance -clearly- made a difference!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam hears Zeus in his head <Chase her till she catches you!> He flies after her and the lack of resistance does make a difference. He's gone in a trail f lightning and it's a race. He raced the speedster Nitro before on foot. He knew he was faster in flight, but not how much faster. This was only his second time in orbit. Shazam pours it on and tries to catch Indestructibelle. He needs a win after losing the thumb wrestling! Go Mercury!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
He -could- beat her, he could overtake her on Earth? Then she could be beaten when the same advantage for her also worked for him. Obviously, they were headed for the moon, it was rather hard to miss, but she couldn't exactly say anything under the current conditions around her. Instead? She was simply left to smirk and shake her head as he blew by her.

Billy Batson has posed:
But he doesn't blow by her. He falls into formation flying on her right and letting her lead. He resists the urge to gab hr by the ankle and throw her back a couple miles. He has no idea what there is to see on the Moon and follows her lead. He smirks back when it is obvious he is sticking with her. He is totally enjoying the view.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
What was there to see? The moon! Of course, there was also a spot where she'd written her name in the dirt, a few traces of humanities missions and somewhere out there rovers and a flag, or humanties plaque left behind for visitors from beyond. It's amazing enough to see...if she could actually find it. It was a small thing in a big space!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam swings his legs down, not wanting to hit the Moon head first. I raises a plume of dust the quickly settles with no air resistance. Even his cape hangs limply. He opens his mouth, and of course, nothing comes out. So he writes in the dust 'Where too?' and shrugs. Then he remembers he has a phone. He texts and shows her the screen. 'Where to?" He looks back at the dust and erases the last 'o'.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
It's a landing she'd maded before, Sunny flaring out and touching down before she stretches out, beaming brightly and looking up at the star that was her namesake. Dropping down to sit lazily on the nearest crater? She stretches out and pats the spot next to her on the edge of the mini-canyon.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam's eyes widen a little and he goes to sit down. He goes and sits next to her. The Champion of Magic looks around. He's a little perplexed. What to do here? It's not like they can even talk. If you wanted privacy you couldn't do much better than the Moon. How does she come here and then go back to waiting tables or paying attention in classes? He finally turns to look at her, and says silently 'oh'. Not talking. Sitting close. Privacy.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
She had to keep her mouth closed, she couldn't create air or magically sustain herself. Instead she was left to silently lean against his shoulder and smiling as she looked out at the sight of the stars, sun and the planet that had become her home before her.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam likes being tall it turns out. He leans against Sunny and puts an am around her and sighs, though nothing really comes out. In a lazy, somewhat whimsical manner he throws some lightning sparkles out into the black and starry sky, providing a little entertainment for his sunny lady.

He can call her his lady, right?

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Lightning shows on the moon? It makes her laugh...silently though, her mouth remained closed while she waited. Maybe she needed to find someone who could build her a space suit or something? Either way, she lazily leans against him, looking out into the void and just...enjoying the moment. No jobs, no school, not even any crimes or cries for help out here!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam is indeed finding the quiet and the closeness nice. But after a moment e tuns more to her and points to his wrist, then her chest. He stops after a moment, waving his hands in a gimme a redo sort of way, then writes in the dust. 'How are your lungs holding out?' Then he adds, 'Air-wise. Not being a goof!' He blushes a little.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
<11 Hours,> she writes back, a clock that they'll probably not really have to try all that hard to beat since they'd have to return by then. Still, there had been an initial raise of her eyebrows when he'd pointed to her chest. Oh, of -course- he meant lungs.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam Feels like a goof, regardless. Nevertheless, he gets up, dusts himself off and mimes flying around. He draws a Moon and draws circles around it. Then he holds put his hands to her to help her up. Manners. Even if she culd probably launch herself into orbit based on her leg strength alone.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Flying? Sure! But she does pause for a moment to bend down and write after a moment, considering for a second. 'We probably shouldn't, or we need to be careful. There's a bunch of scientific stuff out here we'll freak out if we blow by it, or historical stuff we'll break.'

Spoil sport perhaps, but NASA was important. She even had one of their shirts!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam frowns. Then he writes, "Maybe we should head back. My phone stopped working. I left a bunch of stuff on the beach." Yeah come to think of it... didn't the Justice League have their Watchtower here? They might be on a monitor even now! Then he writes, Oooh, embarrassing. What if they kissed or something? They be in a video file between Kandor and Koriander!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Technically it was orbiting, not on the moon...she'd checked once, before getting -super- shy about it and flying away. Instead the girl snickers, nodding her head and shrugging. 'Still, not a bad way to finish a date right? Look at the view!' With that, she turns, leaning in to plant a kiss on the champion of magic's lips and smile, lifting her hands in a 'heart' gesture before waving and kicking off, taking to the stars and the zip back home.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shortly after this the ISS and several observatories report a mysterious, huge electrical burst near the Luna surface.
