Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson pushes the paper plate away from him and says, "If the Seven Deadly Enemies had though to use apple pie against me... I would have caved... if it was this good." He covers his mouth and makes a muffled rude noise. Over in the living room the rest of the kids are already zonked out. The news on the television plays to no one in particular. "... in Carrol Gardens... "

"I'm sorry I missed out on this the other night but Silk and Spidey looked like they wanted to... talk over spider business. So I left," he says. "Let me clear for you, Mary."

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Mary grins, "Well, Aunt May gave me the pie, so I figured it'd be best to share it... she's really great. And it was nice spending time with Peter." She chuckles, "I'm pretty sure Aunt May would be working for the Wizard, anyway, not those creepers."

She looks over at Billy, "Thanks, and yeah, you know Spidey better than me. I mean, I just got a ride from him the other night, really. Though I guess he's Peter's friend and all, which is pretty cool."

Billy Batson has posed:
The volume of the television news increases, "Police are en route to Kew Gardens Mall where two super villains, the Rhino and Electro, are attempting to rob the mall payroll. Several bystanders are injured and Mall Security is overwhelmed but attempting to evacuate Mall goers!"

Billy looks at his sister and holds his fist out, "Wonder Twin powers --Activate! Shazam!"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Mary gives the fistbump, transforming with Billy, though she does say afterwards, "Never, //ever// call us the Wonder Twins again. That's way too Freddie of you." She grins, "Well, hopefully Spider-Man won't be mad that we're going to take care of his bad guys. Ready?" She looks down at herself, still not //quite// used to this... at least not as much as Billy is.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam jerks a thumb at the kids. They really lok like kids to him now. "No use getting them up. Besides... I think either of us could handle this alone. Let's go... Just let me get Google maps."

IN the Mall parking lot chaos rages. Electro sneers at his partner and shakes a bag of money (yes money is transported in bags) at him. "You fat lump, I'm telling you, I beat that scrawny little big mouth spider 12 times!"

Rhino chortles, grabbing a couple bags of loot. "Whatever let's you sleep at night, Max. You want to count that thing on the 59th Street Bridge go ahead. But Goblin saved your ass. No offense." Several bullets spang off Rhino and sizzle inches from Electro's skin. Electro whips a bolt of lightning at a police cruiser with explosive effects. People scream.

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Lady Shazam gets the directions from Shazam, then nods, "Not a second to lose then..." She takes the point, flying in and coming in for a landing gently. Superhero landings damage the pavement, after all. Looking at the scene, she uses her hypersonic speed to zip up right behind Rhino.

"Sorry, but Spider-Man's a bit preoccupied, mind if we step in? I'm afraid my banter isn't on par with his, however." If nothing else, she's occupying their attention and keeping innocents from getting hurt. Though she's ready to dodge what hits... thank you Speed of Hermes!

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam hears the quip and bristles. "What do you mean not on par! Show off!" He grabs the burning police cruiser, throwing it in the direction of the Harbor. Then turns to see Mary drawing the attention of both thugs. Speed of Mercury the rescue! He zips in front of his big sister to defend her, being bigger at the moment. Electro hires a massive bolt of electricity at Shazam and... the Rhino charges Billy Batson. "Holy Moley! Not supposed to happen!"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Lady Shazam blinks, "Whoa, watch out!" She zips in at Rhino, meeting the charge and, thinking quickly, pivoting him so that if Electro does fire at //her//... well, he hits his partner and not her.

Then she glances over her shoulder at Billy, "Say the name!" She strains a bit, since... well, she's strong, sure, but Rhino isn't a slouch.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam complies, "Shazam! ... no really I was going to fight as... a kid!" he leaps into the sky and dodges a salvo of lightning bolts, then starts countering with his own lightning. "Let's see how you like it! Have some Sparkle fingers!"

Electro says mockingly, "So Little Superman thinks he can throw lightning... " He doubles his electrical barrage and slowly the energy bursts begin to creep near toward him.

"Don't call me SUPERMAN!!"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Lady Shazam grins at Rhino, "Hey, you seem like you need to confer with your buddy. Here, let me give you a hand." With that, she pivots and picks up Rhino, spinning him around and hurling him directly towards Electro. Hopefully Electro is too busy with trying to zap Billy to notice the large projectile that is his partner...

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam was slowly losing the lightning war until Electro dives out of his partner's way. The lightning barrage stops and he dives down on Electro.

How to punch without being turned back? Rhino is groggy and getting to his feet as Shazam grabs him and >Whud!<>Whud!<>Whud!< That gets him a punch from Rhino, sending him flying, though Electro seems out of it and slightly squooshed

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Lady Shazam tags in as her brother goes flying, soaring in low and then giving Rhino a serious uppercut, her form one which Ryu and Ken would approve of. Landing on the ground, she glances between Rhino and Electro, wary for that lightning since... yeah, that could be awkward.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam? Where did he get to? A fallen column is shoved aside and he climbs out of the hole he made. Keeping a wary eye on Electro as sirens begin wailing, he rejoins Mary and pats her on the cheek. "You ok? They didn't hurt you? I mean, you're a Shazam but you're my sister... and the only fights you had before this were with orcs and elves and dice."

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Lady Shazam grins as both Rhino and Electro are staying down, "Yeah, I'm fine... I mean, I fought those kids with Spidey, but they weren't exactly super-powered." She pauses, and chuckles, "Yeah, well, I bet a bunch of adamantium four-siders would be the perfect caltrops..." She looks over at Shazam, "So long as you're okay. I didn't think his lightning could do //that//."
