Ubican los au donde Billy adopta a Conner o Kon- El (como prefieran llamarle, yo le llamare con Kon), y bueno, Billy se convierte en un gran padre. Implementemos esto, por pasar tanto tiempo con Kon sumado a la interacción que tiene con mås niños. Su identidad secreta de Billy Batson no puede interactuar como un chico de su edad, sino que realmente los trata como personas mås jóvenes sin importar que son de la misma edad, sumando que es una persona descaradamente servicial, y bueno tampoco es feo.
AsĂ que imaginen esto, cuando Billy con 18 años revele su identidad y bueno despuĂ©s de "tenĂamos un niño peleando contra Darkseid", se vuelve habitual salir como civiles. Billy como un mini adulto realmente atractivo que no entiende las señales de citas o coqueteos, pasa por alto o literalmente rechace personas con un "Gracias, chico" y revuelve su cabello o lo mira paternalmente.
Hal, Barry y Billy salen a pasear por una de sus ciudades, por motivos cĂłsmicos llegan a una cafeteria. La camarera de la edad de Billy comienza a hacer ojitos. Lo que preocupa a Billy porque "puede que tenga secos los ojos, no es normal parpadear tanto".
La tarde sigue y Billy nota que se ve muy sonrojada cuando habla con su mesa, definitivamente "debe sentirse enferma, deberĂa tomarse un descanso, hay mĂĄs meseros que pueden atenderlos". No quiere señalarlo porque puede sentirse avergonzada o realmente necesitar el dinero.
Siguen comiendo y oh no trajo un plato que no de su mesa "debe estar empeorando". Parpadea y cruzas miradas con Hal y Barry que comen como si no hubiesen visto a la camarera soltar el plato y salir corriendo. Busca a la camarera y esta con la cabeza pegada a la pared con un par de meseros susurrando con ellos. Se siente mal por molestarla cuando se siente enferma, pero realmente no pidiĂł la tarta de nuez, llama a la pobre camarera y explica la situaciĂłn.
Ella se ve nerviosa y sugiere que se quede con la rebanada, pero dios, este hombre es tan amble y guapo y respetuoso y DIOS MĂO alĂ©rgico a las nueces (por la trama Billy es mortalmente alĂ©rgico a las nueces).
Billy cruza una mirada con Hal y Barry que miran a la mujer con lastima, ellos también deben a ver notado que se siente mal.
Terminan pagando la cuenta y Billy le deja un casi el total de la cuenta como propina. Ella se acerca con una libreta y una pluma antes de irse, sin decir nada la extiende a Billy y esta sonrisa deberĂa ser ilegal, desvia la mirada.
Billy escribe la direcciĂłn y nĂșmero de un mĂ©dico amable que estĂĄ cerca de la cafeteria. Lo regresa y explica que ese lugar la tratara bien, recalca que trabajar enferma demuestra perseverancia, junto con un recordatorio de cuidar su salud. Tras la mirada atĂłnita de la chica, vuelve a sonreĂr y se despide agradeciendo su atenta atenciĂłn con palmaditas el hombro.
Por alguna razon, Hal y Barry estĂĄn perturbados por alguna revelaciĂłn mĂstica.
You know those AUs where Billy adopts Conner or Kon-El (whichever you prefer to call him, Iâll go with Kon), and well, Billy becomes a great dad? Letâs implement that. Because he spends so much time with Kon, combined with his interactions with other kids, Billy Batson can't really interact like a normal teenager anymore. Instead, he treats people his own age like they are much younger than him. Add to that the fact that he is shamelessly helpful, and well, heâs definitely not ugly either.
So imagine this: when an 18-year-old Billy finally reveals his identityâand after the whole "we had a literal child fighting Darkseid" realization blows overâit becomes normal for them to hang out as civilians. Billy is this incredibly attractive mini-adult who completely misreads dating signals or flirting. He either completely overlooks it or literally rejects people with a "Thanks, kid," while ruffling their hair or giving them a paternal look.
Hal, Barry, and Billy are out walking through one of their cities, and for cosmic reasons, they end up at a diner. The waitress, who is around Billy's age, starts batting her eyelashes at him. This immediately worries Billy because "her eyes might be dry, it's not normal to blink that much."
The afternoon goes on, and Billy notices she looks very flushed whenever she speaks to their table. He concludes that "she must be feeling sick, she should take a break, there are plenty of other servers who can cover for her." He doesn't want to point it out out loud because she might feel embarrassed or really need the money.
They keep eating, and oh no, she just brought a dish that isn't for their table. "She must be getting worse." He blinks and locks eyes with Hal and Barry, who are eating as if they hadn't just seen the waitress drop off the plate and bolt. He looks around for her and spots her with her forehead pressed against the wall, with a couple of other servers whispering to her. He feels bad for bothering her when she's feeling under the weather, but he really didn't order the pecan pie. He calls the poor waitress over and explains the situation.
She looks nervous and suggests he just keep the slice. But god, this man is so kind, handsome, and respectful, and OH MY GOD, allergic to nuts (for the sake of the plot, Billy is mortally allergic to nuts).
Billy locks eyes with Hal and Barry, who are looking at the woman with pure pity. They must have noticed she feels sick, too.
They finish paying the bill, and Billy leaves almost the total amount of the check as a tip. Before they leave, she approaches him with a notepad and a pen. Without saying a word, she hands it to Billy. That smile of his should be illegal; she averts her eyes.
Billy writes down the address and number of a kind doctor located near the diner. He hands it back and explains that the clinic will take good care of her. He emphasizes that working while sick shows great perseverance, but adds a gentle reminder to take care of her health. Following the girl's completely stunned stare, he smiles again, thanks her for her attentive service, and gives her a reassuring pat on the shoulder as a goodbye.
For some reason, Hal and Barry look absolutely disturbed, as if they've just witnessed a mystical revelation.
