Someone is always playing with time. Whether it's a magician or a villain, but most often it's ancient artifacts in old tombs that even the Gods have forgotten about that play with time. And who finds these old tombs?

That's right, archaeologists.

CC is a little surprised when he finds himself in a strange place. He looks around and sees stars in the windows. Is he in space? By the way, who are these people looking at him in shock?

CC: Hello?

People start making noise, especially the guy in the red suit who was talking too fast. CC looks at the table and sees the artifact he found. His mind starts to guess.

CC: Tell me, what year is it?

A woman in an Amazon costume answers him. CC frowns. Too far in the future. Mary and Billy have definitely aged.

CC: Well, what's your name? I'm CC, but my colleagues call me Captain Marvel, haha!

Everyone introduces themselves. Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Green Lantern.

Batman: Do you have a theory on how to get back to your own time?

CC: Sure! Most artifacts of this nature work on the same principle. You just have to say the spell backwards! At least that's what my wife says.

Flash: You have a wife?!

CC: Yes? She and two kids. Since when did that get weird?

Wonder Woman: It's not weird! You just look so young!

CC: Thank you? By the way, you look a lot like a woman I met recently. Hippolyta. Does that name mean anything to you? She's an Amazon like you.

Wonder Woman: Yeah, I know her, but I haven't been to my home island in a long time.

CC: You should definitely visit her, she misses you very much.

Wonder Woman: Definitely.

Superman: I think you need to go back to your time.

CC: I think you're right, Superman, sir. I think I know you too, but I can't remember how. Batman, say hello to Patrick for me.

Batman: What?

CC: Patrick Wayne. I hope he gave me my hundred dollars back.

CC casts a spell and is transported back to the tomb to his wife.

Marilyn: You took too long.

CC: I just met some very interesting people.

Marilyn: I had no doubt, but now we need to continue the excavation.

CC: Whatever you say my love~

Billy enters the conference room and senses that something is wrong. Everyone is staring at him as if they saw a ghost.

Marvel: Guys, what happened?

Flash: Nothing happened, CC.

Billy chokes on air and teleports away from the Watchtower in a panic.

Captain Deadbeat

I love with the idea of Captain Marvel looking scarily similar to C.C Batson and it being a well known 'fact' among heros and villians that they're the same person because it's hilarious to imagine people think Marvel is just letting his 'kids' go off and do whatever (Billy being homeless and Mary being adopted by another family) AND hes adopted two teens, who he seems to spend all his time with instead of his biological kids.

Also, with him acting fatherly, it brings up a lot of confusing feelings for younger heros who've interacted with him and had him act like a parental figure to suddenly be faced with him being a DEADBEAT?? Like this giant sunshine father figure demigod abandoned his kids and has the audacity to treat everyone as his children while his biological kids are off on their own???

AU where CC and Bruce are actually half-brothers

Based on the idea of Cap looking like CC Batson and that Captain Marvel's body is whatever Billy wants it to be. Because Captain Marvel is a magical carbon copy of his father, it made a copy of his blood.

Billy gets hit really hard or something that makes him think 'damn, that should’ve really hurt' and so it does, and now he’s bleeding. Thus, Billy is in the infirmary at the watchtower for like the first time ever being treated. He doesn’t really know what to do so he lets the nurses and doctors do their own thing.

And that’s how Batman finally ended up with a blood sample from Captain Marvel. At this point in time, he didn’t even know Cap had blood. So, he obviously runs some tests, including DNA testing and lo and behold he gets a match, with himself and his father.

(No time bubble around Fawcett, but there was something keeping the outside world from finding them, so CC doesn’t show up in any database outside of it. Billy’s identity is safe for now)

Bruce thinks the system made a mistake somewhere but there’s nothing wrong. He goes to Alfred for answers. Apparently his father had a history of one-night stands before getting with his mother. So not only did he get confirmation that Captain Marvel was at least human, but was also his half-brother, older half-brother. He doesn’t know what to do with this news.

—--------------------

At one point sometime later, it becomes gossip among the entire watchtower, maybe because someone overheard Batman asking Superman and WW for advice on it. Everyone thought that Cap was going to do something about it, even Bruce, but he did nothing.

Everyone’s a little taken aback by the fact Captain Marvel, the world’s most friendliest guy and #1 sweetheart, seems to detest the idea of family, or at least Batman as his family. As a matter of fact, he moved his chair farther away from him at the meeting table. He ignores the gossip going on around him and skips over the topic entirely if someone mentions it.

Billy is fine with the life and family he has now. It’s everything he ever wanted. He doesn’t want Batman butting in and taking over. He even does some digging of his own trying to find evidence to disprove it but eventually comes to terms with the fact that Batman is his uncle (an upgrade from his other one). He may actually have some rights to Billy if he finds out his identity. Batman is the “world’s greatest detective” so he tries to keep his distance. He needs Batman away from Fawcett and far away from his personal life.

Surely, Batman wasn’t actually thinking of forming some brotherly bond, right? Well, even if he did, the batchildren got to him first. They wanted to meet their uncle!

[puppetwoman17]

Just thinking about how one of, if not the reason Billy doesn’t trust easily is because his dad was killed by the man they saw as an uncle. CC was LITERALLY stabbed in the back and left to die. And mind you, right before that, he forgave Theo Adam and went to go get him some help.

I’m just thinking about how that must’ve shaped Billy as a person. Trying to stay kind and forgiving. Always willing to abide by “be good and good will follow”, but where did being good get his parents?

[spompom]

Hi guysss, this started as a conversation with myself about how Billy got to the RoE in the first place which escalated into ‘wow getting hit by the train must’ve been terrifying’ to this. This is my first real animatic so it might be a little off 🫶

JL meets C.C.

So, the Justice League goes back in time to 1957 because some villain, let’s say Lex Luthor travelled to back then too for whatever reason. So now they have to stop him. Cue shenanigans and then while they’re trying to find Lex, John (I think this is my first post with John Stewart as GL) sees a newspaper that has C.C. and Marilyn on it. The newspaper talks about an Incan artifact they found. As they have literally nowhere to go, they go to see if C.C. can help them as they could use the extra firepower. (They think he’s Marvel and also literally everyone is against them, Lex turned the government against them by calling them foreign invaders. Remember this is both less than 15 years after WW2, and this is also two years into Vietnam.) C.C. would get dragged along because Lex thinks he’s Marvel so he’d also get shot at and all that. Here’s some interactions I think would happen:

Batman: *Takes off cowl because there’s no way Marvel should know him, and future Marvel already knows his identity*

C.C.: *stares at Bruce for a bit and thinks he’s Thomas Wayne* “Hey… you’re Patrick’s boy, right? Why’re you running around in a bat costume? Also how did you age thirty years in the two months since I last saw you?”

(Let’s say this is the same universe as the Great Grandpa Wayne and C.C. post)

Batman: *Gets flashbacks*

or

*Under heavy fire from robots because Lex teamed up with the government to mass produce robots for the war effort, money and so he could kill them. C.C., Flash, and GL are all kinda laying on the floor while bullets rain above them*

C.C.: (By the way, all of them are yelling over the sound of the bullets, cause bullets are really loud) “Can we wrap this up? I want to get back to my wife.”

Flash: “You have a wife?!” *completely shocked and betrayed one of his best buddies didn’t tell him this*

C.C.: *grabs some stuff from around them and starts making something* “Yeah.” *pauses his making his thing and sighs dreamily* “Marilyn.” (Bro really loves his wife) *goes back to making whatever he’s making*

GL: “What’re making?”

C.C.: “What?”

(Again, they’re yelling over a bunch of bullets)

GL: “What are you making?”

C.C.: “Oh! A shrapnel grenade!” *Finishes and throws it out of one of the many holes made by the bullets*

*loud explosion, guns stop. The three lay on their stomachs on the ground in silence*

GL: “Why do you know how to make that?”

C.C.: “I wasn’t able to dodge the draft.”

or

C.C.: “You’re an Atlantean?” *Slowly looks over to Arthur* “Tell me everything.” *pulls out pocket notebook that’s decorated with stickers, courtesy of a seven year old Mary*

Aquaman: *Happy to share anything about his culture and people* “I can tell you anything but its location.”

C.C.: “Fine by me! I just want to know everything.” *suddenly gets super intense*

*League looks at each other cause this is a rare time Marvel is actually actually serious*

You ever think about how Captain Marvel looks like CC Batson because that is who Billy sees as a hero, but overtime he might take on attributes from the other heroes. Do you ever think about how one day Billy might look into a mirror as Captain Marvel and realize he doesn’t see his father‘s face anymore?

Yeah me neither

let's think about it now then bcs its genius

(I don't know if you're citing this post here but it exists if you want to take a look! well and this is a good take to revisit)

Billy has always assimilated his magical form to his father, but it's not like he periodically looks in the mirror to reaffirm this. It's also not like he enjoys seeing his own father every time he sees his reflection… it's a good symbolism and tribute, but imagine when Billy loses a fight? When he fails to save a life? The last thing he would want to see is the sad look on his own father's face, the look of disappointment in himself so he avoids mirrors, or looking at himself in photos, and it's not like he has much internet access to see the videos or news he appears in. Sometimes he catches a glimpse of his reflection, but he's not one to analyze it. Until one day he catches Mary staring at him as they look out over the city from a rooftop

Marvel: Is there something on my face?

He'd ask innocently, knowing it wasn't until a few minutes ago that they ate some ice cream the stand owner gave them for free. Maybe his face was dirty? But Mary just shrugs, and although she looks a little uncomfortable, she doesn't say anything

This happens a few more times, and Billy knows it can't be just a coincidence no more

Marvel: What is it? Just tell me, please. Did I do something?

Mary: No! You didn't do anything, it's just… I saw a picture the other day of your first appearance as Captain Marvel. And you looked a lot like Dad… a lot, and I noticed that recently you don't-- look that much anymore…

Marvel: What...? Like, am I getting older? I didn't think my Captain form could age…

Mary: I don't think that's it. I don't know what it really is at all. You just changed, you know? It's not bad, it's just… you're more you, you know? Less like Dad, more like you if you were this magic greek fridge

Marvel laughed, though he didn't understand what that really meant. He decided it wasn't anything important. Mary said it wasn't bad, so there was no need to worry about it

But then, in the watchtower, when he was on a boring monitor duty late one night, he found himself staring into space, and eventually his vision blurred and he saw his own reflection, obscured by the background, but it was him…

He was drifting off, not paying attention, which is why he was even more surprised when his brain computed that the reflection wasn't of someone he knew…

He started and turned around in fright, searching for whoever was in the room with him. But there was no one

He looked back at the window, focusing to see his own reflection, and then his breath caught, and suddenly everything made sense. It was him. It wasn't his father's face, or his own baby face, but it was him… his face, his features…? Okay, maybe there was a little something here and there that he could tell came from his coworkers, but it was a big change

His image used to be a replica of his father, but now it was himself, with some influences from his heroes. but mostly him...

Billy couldn't say he was happy to no longer have his father's reflection in the mirror, but another kind of feeling mixed in his stomach. Anxiety? Happiness? Pride?

This was his way of finally realizing that he'd become something good enough? That he'd become the hero he wanted to be. Not just his hero, but a mix of several he adored, loved, and was inspired by, including himself. He'd finally become someone he could call good enough? Something he was proud of. Is this his way of understanding that he was happy and satisfied with being himself? instead of just imitating others?

He certainly felt a few tears stream down his face, but he tried to save this new knowledge for when he was alone and not working

Loving the idea that the Batson parents only planned one name for their baby, so when a second one popped out they just kinda picked at random.

I was originally gunna do Billy being the unnamed baby but it makes so much more sense with Mary like-

C.C: Look at our darling boy! We planned this for MONTHS- I dub thee William Joseph Batson!

Nurse: Right- thank you Mr Batson, and what will your daughter be called?

C.C: -Uhhhh… *looks to his wife*

Marilyn: humnn…*looks to her husband*

C.C: -Mary!-

Marily: -Charlotte- Clair!

Nurse: ????

C.C: Yup! Mary Charlotte Clair Batson, our beautiful daughter!

Nurse: But- that’s just both your names???

Marilyn, dual wielding babies: and what great names they are.
