I’m about to run with this.
I want this to backfire and the league decides a kid who can unconsciously create a sentient being, especially one as powerful as captain marvel, needs to be able to control his magic otherwise he could cause a lot of harm by accident. Zatanna volunteers to train him. Billy is trying to come up with an excuse for why that’s not necessary but it’s a losing battle.
This leads to lots of identity shenanigans with billy trying to act like he’s never met these people before as billy while dealing with everyone’s existential crisis over their friend being a figment of some kid’s imagination as Captain Marvel.
The cover story works for a while and has the bonus of learning magic from one of the most powerful mage’s in the world. Magic he could then use to help maintain the lie, like making it so captain marvel and billy batson can be seen together with illusions and such.
Though this can only go on for so long and eventually he slips up, though I propose the first person to find out the truth isn’t Zatanna or even Batman.
He hangs around sometimes when Z is training with billy and just so happens to walk in on billy de transforming.
Cue hysterical laughter from Constantine and billy trying to swear him to secrecy. Which just adds to the identity shenanigans.
This is all even funnier if captain marvel is going by Shazam so billy literally can’t say the name of the hero he supposedly created.
