DC PROMPT #2:
When Captain Marvel gets hit in a fight that was a little too magical in origins for everyone’s comfort, he turns back into Billy Batson, scrawny homeless kid (actually a teen now, thank you very much), a clear difference from his healthy, strong adult form.
Billy knows that he is fine, he just needs to rest a bit and he’ll be back to being Cap. He is freaking out for a second about getting his cover blown. That is, until-
the rest of the Justice League, who on the other hand do NOT know that he is fine-
think that one of their founding and most senior members, their heavy hitter magical expert dude, is suddenly de-aged due to an attack of unknown origins.
Billy just decides to go along with it.
———
Billy, dragging himself out of the rubble of a building: “Aw shit.”
Wonder Woman, flying over after tying up the bad guy of the day: “Oh Zeus! Captain Marvel, are you still yourself? Do you feel alright?”
Billy: “Uh—”
Flash, dashing over: “What’s going on, what was that bright light— HOLY SHIT IS THAT CAP?!?”
Billy: “Ye—”
Batman from the Watchtower: “Wonder Woman, please report.”
WW: “It seems that Captain Marvel was hit by some sort of magical attack.”
Billy: “Well—”
Batman: “Is he compromised?”
Flash: “BATS HE’S A CHILD?!”
WW, sighing: “Yes, as Flash put it, he has been turned into a child.”
Batman:
Batman: “Bring him back to the watchtower and we’ll see if we can fix this.
Billy: “Shit, aiight I guess”

imagine being childhood friends with toji. he was not allowed to go out of the house but he still did because he hates his home. do you even call it a home? he was a child but he understood pain clearly.
he was all alone, playing with shells and sands on a beach. you recognized him because your mom and other aunties in the neighborhood told you and like every other kid to stay away from him. but you approached him anyway. he was cold at first when you wanted to be friends with him, hesitant as to why would someone be nice to him. he never knew kindness growing up in that horrible household. but he is a child who found comfort in your kindness.
you both started playing often, trying to keep it a secret as he knew you'd be in trouble if your mom knew. he enjoyed finally smiling without having to force it, until one day you disappeared. he thought you finally fell into the trap of those rumors about him. but you were taken away to a new city when your parents saw you being acquainted with him. they did not want to be associated even with the shadow of any zenin.
he waited and waited on the same beach, at the same place, but you never come back. the sandcastle you built together crumbled under a big wave.
