Freestyle Checkers: A Tim and Damian Special OR “How can we make talking to people a competition?”
Billy who can still perform the same amount of magic as Captain Marvel when he’s his kid self, but due to the limits of his mortal body, he would literally burn up from the inside if he does too much or doesn’t allow himself to cool off first.
For a long while, he didn’t even notice. To be fair, it’s not like the wizard had time to give him the whole run-down before dying, and he never mentioned anything about performing magic outside of the Champion’s form. But sometimes, weird stuff would just happen out of nowhere?
He’ll only perform magic unintentionally when he’s extremely emotional. Not for everything, like “Man, I wish I could fix the holes in my socks.” But if he’s had a super bad day, and he just needs a good cry, he sees his hole-ridden socks and thinks, “Goddamnit, why can’t I just have nicer socks?” suddenly, they’re good as new! But he also feels the urge to lie down for a nap.
Some cops are sniffing around his neighborhood, and Billy is praying that he’ll be left alone. He doesn’t want to get kicked out of another semi-safe refuge. But right when the cops are about to discover his hideout, they’re called back to their precinct. Without warning, Billy’s chest feels hot. He suffers dizziness spells for a few hours and needs to wait a day before he’s back on his feet.
The real tipping point, however, is when he walks to school and it starts pouring with rain. He’s already had a rough morning so he just curses and ducks into the next bus stop. But before he can take cover, it’s sunny again, and out of nowhere, he’s running a dangerously high fever. He almost collapses in exhaustion. His hair is literally smoking, and that’s when he realizes what’s going on.
Now, Billy needs to be extremely careful with his emotional state. If he even thinks of something he wishes could happen, he might die. That’s why he can’t use too much magic, and it’s also why he talks to himself out loud so much. It’s easier to catch himself if he’s constantly reciting his inner monologue.
Later on, he gets some help with regulating his magic. Maybe John Constantine comes in and goes, “Okay buddy, we need to get you some breathing exercises,” because he’s in genuine mortal danger if he does. Maybe Billy tests his luck a few too many times and has to go MIA for a week because if he turns into Cap one more time, he'll burst into flames the moment he turns back.
But idk I am just so fascinated by the idea that this preteen who is literally the Champion of Magic harnesses the ability to level mountains while knowing nothing about magic because he has no real mentor, but he’s holding the potential to cause an avalanche if he sneezes the wrong way at the risk of his own life and he doesn’t have a clue.
Green Lantern: We need someone to drive the car. Cap, why don’t you get behind the wheel?
Captain Marvel: Nope, can’t do that.
GL: What? Why?
Cap, secretly 12yo: I…don’t have a license. It’s irresponsible.
GL: You don’t ha- This a covert mission! Just drive.
Cap, never even played Mario Kart before: It is my moral obligation to obey all traffic laws.
GL: Just drive the car!
Cap: YOU CAN’T MAKE ME
Hi I’m dying of the plague so here’s my favorite comic panel of the day without context, enjoy :)
That “Billy physically switches bodies with Captain Marvel whenever he transforms” AU where Billy’s mortal body ends up at the Rock of Eternity whenever he’s running around as Captain Marvel. Except Billy never visits the Rock as Captain Marvel so he had NO idea his mortal body went anywhere, he thought he was shape shifting or something.
Captain Marvel has to bring the Justice League to the Rock for [insert plot-related magic reason here] and he is just as caught off guard as the rest of them to see an apparently dead nine year old lying on the Rock. He has no explanation for his own “dead” body hanging out at his home base. Cue Wisdom of Solomon.
“Oh, he’s a… human sacrifice?”
Cut to about two months later after the JL held a proper burial for Billy 🪦 rip nameless child 🪦 only for one of them to be on a covert mission that took them to Fawcett, and Billy just happens to walk by, and the JL member is like ‼️‼️ and they page CM “look dude I can’t tell you for certain, but there’s either a mournful identical twin or a really bad case of necromancy in your city” and Billy is like 0.2 seconds from just telling them the truth because how is he hiding this one
Damian, coddling a stray cat he found on patrol: Oh, you’re such cutie patootie. Who’s the prettiest kitty? You are, yes! What are you doing out here on your lonesome? You need a bath!
The Batfam: *frozen in terror as they listen through comms*
18yo Damian and Jon doing their whole Good Cop Bad Cop Routine in front of this week’s villain
Damian: I hope you like small rooms because you’ll be locked away for a long— is that a puppy????
Jon: o_o
Damian: *completely ignoring the situation to pet the dog*
Villain: -_-
Jon: *cough* As my partner was saying—
AU where Jon disappears and ages like he did in the comics, but when he comes back, he’s almost exactly the same age as Damian to the day, but he can’t remember what day it was exactly, leading to several arguments about who is older now.
Jon: I mean, I think it was a Friday, and it was definitely mid-February, which makes me two days older than you, right?
Damian: No, you’re not accounting for the hour. I was born in the early morning and you were born late at night, and you disappeared at night, but came back in the morning, so those two days don’t count.
Jon: That doesn't make up for two whole days. You’re just grasping at straws.
Damian: No, I’m not. Do we even know it was the same day when you got there?
Jon: It definitely was. I’m older now.
Damian: Well, why does it matter, anyway?
Jon: You seem to care a lot so I think it totally matters.
Damian: Shut up, farm boy.
AU where Billy Batson is investigating some random magic issue because his powers have been depleted as a consequence, meaning he temporarily can’t be Captain Marvel, but he somehow accidentally tips off Zatanna who’s working in the watchtower that day. She senses the sudden lack of magic in Fawcett City and tries to contact Marvel to warn him, but he can’t be reached so she calls up a few members of the JL to check it out because they want to make sure he’s okay.
Batman, Zatanna, The Flash, and Wonder Woman start wandering through Fawcett with no plan, just looking for some kind of sign that Cap is nearby, when they see this kid in a tattered red hoodie open a PORTAL, and they’re like what the fuck?! So they slip through the portal right before it closes and suddenly they’re in this infinite magical cave, and the boy is pissed. And he’s really not open to questions.
“What’s your name, kid?”
“None of your business.”
“Where are we?”
“Also none of your business.”
The heroes aren’t idiots, though. They know this kid has something to do with Cap’s disappearance, so they ask him questions until he finally gets tired of them and says, “I’m his…protégé.”
“Cap has a protégé?”
“Yes. That’s me.”
“Prove it.”
“Superman works as a news reporter at the Daily Planet.”
“…Oh shit.”
Batman tries to talk to him about how he shouldn’t know this kind of stuff but the kid hits him back with, “You have like ten kids who know everyone’s identities too. Why are Captain Marvel and I suddenly breaking protocol?” Point taken.
So now there’s this magical kid who’s apparently in line to become the next Champion of Magic who knows all of the JL’s secrets through Captain Marvel, and they still don’t know WHERE Cap is so they take him back to the watchtower and try to get as much info from him as possible. It only makes them more confused.
“Where is Captain Marvel?”
“He’s stuck in eternity.”
“What does that mean?”
“He doesn’t have a corporeal form right now.”
“He- what the fuck? How did that happen?”
“His powers were depleted after a big fight last week.”
“But is that reversible?”
“That’s what I was working on.”
“And what were you doing, exactly?”
“I was…trying to help him get his strength back.”
“Okay? How can we help?”
“Umm, you can’t.”
“Is he okay? In eternity?”
“Yeah yeah, don’t worry about it.”
“How do you know he’s okay?”
“We…have a…shared consciousness?”
“Excuse me??”
“I take it back.”
“You can’t just take that back?!“
“It’s Champion of Magic stuff, okay?! You wouldn’t understand!”
The kid’s story just keeps getting weirder and weirder until he refuses to answer questions, leaving them more in the dark than they were before.
Damian: I can’t do taxes! My mother only taught me three things: gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.
Jason: Didn’t she also teach you how to kill people?
Damian: What do you think girlboss means, Jason?!
Hello. Jon learning Arabic so he can understand Damian’s silly little rants whenever he gets super passionate about something
That is all, goodbye :)
Love the idea of Damijon dating later in life and they still have the exact same dynamic they had in the beginning of their friendship but now they’re just holding hands. It would just be:
Jon: What’s up, short stack?
Damian: Eat shit and die.
Jon: As long as I don’t have to see your ugly face again
Everyone Else: You’re literally married??
Love how Bruce Wayne would totally say some astronomically dumb shit like “I’m training my heart to beat in Morse code just in case I need to contact Superman but I’ve been rendered mute,” and his kids would just be like “you need therapy” while Alfred is having a breakdown in the kitchen because how on earth has Bruce stayed alive this long
Absolutely adore the assumption that Bruce Wayne may be the richest man alive, but he’s literally so autistic that it trumps his trillions of dollars. Iconic
Tim: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??!!
Damian: Dick said he wants me to try acting my age
Tim: So you’re having a tea party with your pet cow in the living room?!
Damian: I looked it up. Kids have tea parties. I’m having a tea party.
Tim: Why are you doing this??
Damian: To get a good grade in acting my age, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.
Alfred: Would Master Batcow care for some more finger sandwiches?
