Synopsis: Worst couples date ever.
Cast of Characters: Billy Batson, Sunny Harlow




Billy Batson has posed:
Another bright day in the early morning on a certain stretch of coast. Shazam is holding court with Sunny. His subject is one he does not relish yet a crucial one for a superhero. His embarrassment is evident in his rosy cheeks.

This is actually a subject Billy became quite knowledgeable on back in those old dark days. "So... dirty fighting... or martial arts if you get formal instruction. The main thing to remember is your whole body is a weapon, hands, feet, knees, elbows, head... " He gestures at her, "Torso... er ahm... not so much..." He trails off, stops gesturing and clears the invulnerable throat.

"Anyway... come at me whenever you're ready. I'll go easy on you."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
A little shrug of her shoulders, Sunny had her arms folded under her bust and a little quirk of amusement on her lips at his little akward approach and comment.

"You know," she muses lightly, dressed in workout gear for the moment and with her hair tied back behind her head. "You can come -reaaaally- close to condescending sometimes there Lightning Boy. I've watched a few things and read a few books, but even if I hadn't, I know what a punch, kick, knee, elbow or headbut is..."

Poking her tongue out to punctuate, she moves to lift her hands and launch herself into a swinging combo of punches.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam begins ducking and dodging the combos, which are coming faster than he remembered her attacks before. "I'm... you don't learn this from books!" Duck, sidestep, dodge.

"Condescending?!" He waits for another charge and changes tactics, he will fly upward, wait till she rushes and land behind her to wallop her from behind with a two handed sledge. There's a nice soft cliff for her to land on. "Lightning Boy? Well you got Lightning Boy. Billy breaks easily." Leap! Pivot! Slam!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Of course, Sunny knew that...just like she knew that distracting one's opponent tended to help. still, he -does- have infinite strength compared to her admittedly increasing limits, which meant that even as she spun around to lift her arms defensively the impact still sent her zooming across the space into the cliff with an audible crash.

There was actually a pause before she surged out of the dust cloud, banking suddenly and using the physics of her turn to spin her into a high knee at his face.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam suddenly throws his strength into blocking her knee and grabbing her around the waist. "Stop! Stop now! We got company!" A haughty female voice calls from above, "Humans, is this a combat exercise we interrupted or something more..." Shazam sets Sunny down so she can also see the couple in lavender body suits floating in the air.

"Klum... I want a cape like his. flying people need a cape!" the ginger haired woman says. Klum floats closer to her, "Very well my dear, though the sun haired one does not wear a cape."

"Well, she's a dirty little raggamuffin. His outfit shows some flash. Get me the cape sweetheart. I'll deal with this filthy thing." The male suddenly dives at Shazam, they both dig into the Earth with the alien's impact.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Wait, what?! Sunny's sudden stop may well have been a shock were it not for what she could see next. Flying, floating beings...and they didn't look to be friends of Superman. Oh boy!

The woman's words brings a blink, the comment on the lack of her costume earning a instinctual insensed laugh, but she doesn't really have time to rebut the comment on her attire or the namecalling when Billy is suddenly tackled into the earth with a considerable impact.

Sunny opens her mouth to call out, arm reaching out to him when suddenly she's zipping upwards as the woman's fist impacts with the earth where she'd been moments ago.

"Who are you calling a raggamuffin?" Sunny counters, lifting her fists as she floated. Of course, for all her bravado the fact that Shazam had been taken off his feet made one thing clear: this was gonna suck!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam actually let the earth beneath him absorb most of the impact. It still hurt but he fought hurt before. Klum doesn't get a chance to snerk before Defender of Magic lands an uppercut on the... whatever's chin throwing the man out of the hole and onto the beach. Shazam emerges and gets a boulder in his face that he shrugs off. "You're throwing rocks already? Wuss!" Shazam braves a barrage of boulders to close with the man.

"How ya doing, Belle?"

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Well, Belle was fast enough on her feet to avoid a few of the strikes, but the sudden blow that hit her stomach had Sunny flying backwards and gasping for air. Okay, that really, really hurt! How was it that she kept running into people that were actually stronger than her? As the back and forth came with Sunny and the female daxamite, it was a little less fun.

Still, Sunny was nothing if not stubborn as she emerges from the dust thrown up from a hasty judo-style throw that sent her foe hurtling into the earth. "I've had better days," she speaks up, bruised and bloodied before she lifts her busted knuckles in preparation for the next 'round'.

Billy Batson has posed:
Klum suddenly yells, "Hey, Irre, we have a game changer!" Ruby beams blaze from his eyes, sand turns to glass and Shazam is surrounded by plasma. The pain is excruciating. He flies at Klum and covers his eyes, which turns out to hurt like Hell. Energy blazes between his fingers. Plasma explodes under them. Klum grabs Shazam's wrists, holding his hands in place.

"Try your eye beams, darling. It's marvelous. Oh what's wrong, Lightning Boy? Can't deal with some superheated plasma?"

"Lightning Boy? Shazam smiles despite the pain. He makes sure Sunny sees it.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Irre simply grins savagely, clearly excited by the concept before Sunny lands a heavy punch right at the brow of her nose. It wasn't quite as strong as the Daxamite, but it didn't take much force to make someone's eyes water or break a nose comparatively. Sunny didn't really want to find out if she was plasma proof!

The woman gives a pained and agitated noise, her eyes glowing bright for a moment as she whirls back around, ready to incinerate Indestructibelle on the spot...right as a handfull of sand is thrown right in her eyes, immediately superheated to glass and splashing the plasma right back in her own face, leaving the Daxamite screaming while Sunny weaved out of the way with a bloodied grin.

Not just a pretty face, seems Sunny had been listening to the idea of a little dirty fighting after all!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam's grin vanishes in a barrage of lightning. rolling thunder may pain Sunny's delicate inner ears, as well as that of the Daxamites. He doesn't merely invoke the Power of Zeus, he ramps up to it. He's in control -The Power of Shazam! Plasma is a very good conductor or electricity. The first moment leaves Klum blinded. Then two very strong hands grab his head and the barrage continues through his brain. The nearly invulnerable purple body suit gets toasted and rent. Shazam's costume shows the fury as its sleeves and cape fray. Shazam finishes with a headbutt. Then turns to the two women.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Brutal as it is, Sunny is sort of...caught in awe at te display of brutality...and that wasn't great as the sudden burst of fractured plasma catches her in the back and sends her sprawling, smoke rising from her as she tumbled into the sand by the angrily screaming daxamite.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam is a blur as he hits the screaming woman in the back. Yes. Like Blade Runner, he nailed a woman in the back. Tough. He takes advantage of Irre's momentary disorientation and throws a head lock on her. She ends up with her face in the sand.

"Belle, are you okay? I got her." Be all right.

Irre moans, "This was supposed to be fun. Stow away on a ship. Sneak off the landing field. Level a few towns..."

"Shut up," Shazam says.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"The -one- time I decide to try on some cute workout outfit instead of my costume for comfort..." Sunny murmers, rolling onto her back and looking up at the sky as Shazm mentions having contained her foe. "I get lasered. Don't think the returns are going to cover that!"

She's fine, or at least she's pretending to be as she sits up with a little whince.

Billy Batson has posed:
"Attention, Terrans. Release the woman and stand clear." The booming voice instructs from above. "We are from Daxam. We will handle these criminal stowaways. They will be returned to our world where they won't threaten anyone. Several men and possibly women now hover above Sunny and Billy. Shazam releases Irre. Two of the squad fly down to seize her.

The commander nods to the two heroes, then floats over Sunny. "If you require aid, our ship has advanced bio-regenerators. I am sorry for your injuries." He tries to smile kindly.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
More aliens, these ones here to clean up their mess, but as Sunny stands and folds her arms over herself for modesty's sake there's a shake of her head. "I...think I'll be fine, thanks."

She was quite happy to try and manage herself rather than volunteer for any alien examinations.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam gets up and wraps his cape around the blonde woman. Deja vu. "Thanks, we'll be fine. Watch out for the heat vision. Bye." Barring any remarks from Sunny the aliens take their prisoners and fly back towards the space port. He sits next to Sunny. "I think you should let Julia look you over. I can help you change. I'll close my eyes. As Billy."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I should be fine," the blonde protests, the cape earning a defeated sigh of annoyance. It was just her back after all, not like she was flashing the visitors from another world. "I'm just going to go run it under cold water for a while and...see how that goes."

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam says "Shazam!" Billy goes to gab his bag and pulls a bunch of towelettes out. He starts cleaning the blood off her face, pushing her hair out of the way. He regard her sternly for a moment. "Let me see your back. Those eye beams hurt. You were incredible, let me take care of you for a bit. I even got rid of that condescending Lightning Boy. There's just Billy who l... loves you." Too soon. Too soon he's sure. He tries to draw the cape away to peek at her back. Suddenly he's blushing.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I gotta keep getting stronger," Sunny muses as he starts to wipe at her face and fuss at her. She'd allow it, at least for now. His praise however earns a laugh. "I mean, I thought I was strong, but every second person who turns up seems stronger than me..." As for her back, she sighs, though his choice of words? Well, he mercifully can't see Sunny's face as she leans down to let him inspect the angry red flesh on her back.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam takes a deep breath. An acknowledgement would be awesome. <<Love is patient. Love is kind.>> Solomon counsels. He takes a water bottle and crack it open, pouring it on the angry flesh. "I think you're healing already... I hope Lightning Boy's hands are all right. Sorry, you got sand on your burns. Can't be good. There, done. And... you could've just taken a dip and done this." He shrugs.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I was going to take a shower..." she points out before turning back to Billy, hands coming up to gently cup his face and smiling lightly, touching her forehead to his. "And hey, there's a Sunny who loves Billy too...but right now, Indestructibelle is -super- sore, trying to keep her new outfit intact -and- lamenting that aspirin and stuff doesn't work on me."

A little kiss on his cheek and she looks skywards. "Maybe next time, lets try to do a normal date, rather than get ambushed by supervillains."

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam returns the kiss. "Good to know," he says. "I'll call on you for my cape. But uhhh... maybe we fight lam villains for a while till you've mended." He picks up her bloody and bruised hand and kisses it. "Does this help? I could go home with you. For medicinal purposes."
