I couldn’t finish my fic in time for the last day of Billy Batson week so I wrote a quick thing instead!
Billy, turning on the tv at the watchtower: hmm I wonder what’s happening on the news!
[Shaky camera footage shows multiple reporters frantically running after a large, sharply dressed bipedal tiger. They are shoving eachother and shouting at him while he speed walks away.]
[The reporter catches up with the tiger and steps in front of him, trapping him in a sea of flashing lights and noise. She shoves a microphone against his snout and the camera gets uncomfortably close to his face.]
Reporter: Mr. Tawky Tawny, what do you have to say regarding the allegations? Are you truly an itty bitty kitty witty??
[He drops a smoke bomb, obscuring the view of all eyes and cameras. Coughing can be heard from multiple reporters. The smoke slowly clears, revealing a raggedy stuffed tiger in the place of the local celebrity/zoo attraction. Reporters murmur in disappointment. The camera is shut off as they disperse.]
Billy, remembering that yesterday was a slow news day and he accidentally spent an entire hour gushing live on air about how cute Tawny is when they’re alone together : Oh no.
Tawny, crashing through the door, followed by a baffled Justice League: YOU.
It takes a few minutes of fake wrestling (from Tawny) and fake crying (From Billy) for the JL to realize the tiger isn’t a threat. They calm down a bit but they never really get over the fact that none of them were able to harm the tiger or break apart the ‘fight’ despite all all of the worlds greatest hero’s teaming up against him. They try to avoid the tiger after that and get the chills every time Billy causally mentions his ‘sweet little kitty cat.’
