This version of Captain Marvel is bruised and flinches at fast movements from the male members of the League.(Billy is homeless and can’t stop his instinct to flinch.) He doesn’t speak much, and when he does, it’s in halted Greek.(He doesn’t want them to know he is from their time. He’s fully willing to let them believe what they want.) He hordes food. (He does this in Captain Marvel form, but he uses magic to hide it. His magic isn’t working as well right now, so he isn’t willing to risk wasting perfectly good food.)

Que, driving through Fawcett, trying to follow a theory: -And the lizard people running the government... hmm...

Billy, sat in the passenger seat cuz hes the only person qualified to give a tour of Fawcett and manage any issues that crop up: You mean Mayor Williams? He actually preferred to be called an Iguana person. Less generalizing.

Que, grip tightening on the wheel: I knew it...!

The theory trail brings them to the local park where Que is tracing energy signatures. Stuff Billy doesnt care to understand.

Que, holding a small beeping device: All my theories are correct... like the secret underground society of mole men...

Billy has a side gig. It’s something he’s recently cooked up as a way to get cash.

He’ll help ghosts pass on!

Now, granted, ghosts don’t carry cash, but! But, they can lead him to cash. Or food. Or safe shelter! Point is, it’s a very lucrative job. A job that Billy takes very seriously.

Female Ghost (FG):“Well, aren’t you just a dear?”

Billy: “Thank you, miss.” *takes out little notepad* “Now, can you tell me anything about yourself?”

FG: “Well, I was born in ‘09!”

Billy: “19?”

FG: “Yes, 1909. And I was a dancer when I was alive. The only thing I think I’ll need to pass on it for me to perform one last time.”

Billy: “I see, I see.” *scribbles down in notepad* “I’ll see what I can do, miss.”

Billy proceeded to get her a gig at a restaurant. It was safe to say she was floored when Billy corral her inside. She just thought the boy would gather a group of people and have her perform in front of them in the street. She didn’t think he’d get her anything professional!

Then there was a really fancy British guy. He’d been ran over by a train, and Billy could see his innards as he floated in front of him.

He wanted Billy to find a monocle. It left him digging for hours near a train track.

British Ghost (BG):“I believe it was a little further to the left.”

Billy: *digs around there*

BG: “Or was it the right…?”

Billy: *groans and digs over there*

BG: “Don’t groan at me. You are the one who decided to undertake this job, chap.”

It was three hours of searching until he found it. Thankfully, for all his trouble, the British man told him of a nice abandoned building that still had running water.

It was actually in the abandoned building that Billy got another job helping a ghost.

This time a ghost doggy.

Billy: “You want belly rubs?”

Ghost Dog: *barks and rolls over*

Billy: “Don’t mind if I do.” *tries to pet it but hands go through it*

It was through this that Billy went on an epic quest to find ectoplasm. He then dipped his hands in it and was able to eventually give the doggy belly rubs.

It passed on after giving a Billy a few licks on the cheek.

Billy: What did you want to be when you were small

Black Adam: hm?

Billy: you didn’t want to be this I’m sure of that. No child wants to become something like you.

Billy: I wanted to be an archaeologist.

Black Adam:*small laugh* an archaeologist?

‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗

With some contingency plans in place, the emergency nanny arrived at the Batcave just when there were no bats left to provide any context for this mysterious favor. But hey, Billy wasn’t about to let this opportunity to be a Robin’s babysitter pass him by!

Damian: I need to carry my sword with me at all times.

Billy thought, "Could it be like my emotional support plush? Of course it is! So then…"

Marvel: I wouldn’t say no to that.

Damian: And also my ninja stars and sais.

Marvel: Of course, Robin!.

"Positive reinforcement, that’s Batson! You’re a good babysitter," Billy thought.

Damian: And we should also bring the Batmobile… I’ll drive…

This last part was delivered with less conviction, but that didn’t stop it from being appreciated by our hero in vibrant red.

Marvel: Do you know how to drive?

Damian: It’s child’s play; of course, I’ve been driving since I was six.

Marvel: That’s amazing, Robin! What a relief! I only know how to ride a bicycle.

With great bewilderment and a slightly agape jaw, Damian climbed into the Batmobile, fulfilling a wish he had held for months.

He couldn’t help but think that he should have the Captain as his regular babysitter.

It was his first experience with a babysitter in the strictest sense of the word. Are all babysitters like this?

They've been called up for a reconnaissance mission in undercover, but everyone knows Captain Marvel SUCKS at it because he always shows up with a huge trench coat, sunglasses, a mysterious hat and his bright red suit would still be pocking up somewhere

But they really need Marvel to do it, and he's like "don't worry! This time I can really pull it off, okay? I promise"

But Mary is there, Mary listens and she smiles like a little devil

"The problem is that Cap is terrible at dressing up, he's such a workaholic that he doesn't even know how to dress without the hero vibes anymore. But that's okay! Mister Batman, can we have some money? I promise I'll make Cap look unrecognizable for this mission! There's just nothing really suitable in his wardrobe."

And Batman just says, "Okay, I'll send you enough money. Please, Miss Marvel, don't let him come in his suit again…"

And then they plan to have Marvel show up at the watchtower before the mission, because they need to make sure he's actually dressed for it. And well, it ends up with Guy Gardner setting off the alarms because of an intruder, but when they go see him, it's Marvel who's looking like the most dad-like guy ever.

flannel shirt, high shorts, tacky belt, a FAN PACK!!! and sneakers

But like, he looks so normal. Seriously. His hair is different, he even has some makeup on to fake frown lines and dark circles on his face. He looks very human, very civil, and he's so dad-coded. Captain Marvel is already dad-coded, but like, a super dad. This dad in front of them is just a tired and proud father with tired eyes but a smile that shows how happy he is in this role.

Mary comes next, she is also dressed as a teenager, and she is smiling so brightly that the stars are jealous.

She is very proud and thanks them so much for letting her do this. She always wanted to pick out Cap's clothes because he is terrible at it and she loved playing dress up with him for a while.

The undecover goes well, it's in a mall and no one even blinks at the dad!cap and daughter, both super casual and happy and normal

Later, Batman finds a video from a security camera, and it's 4 in the morning in a clothing store, Mary and Marvel are there and it really looks like they're playing dress up. Mary picks out things for him, he tries them on and goes to show them to her, he makes some jokes, parades, laughs a lot and everything

Bruce finds this father and daughter moment (because they really don't know they're brother and sister) really cute and it inspires him to ask his daughters to go shopping with him soon

Well, he deletes the videos for the heroes' safety, but he has a backup because he wants to show it to other league mates too. Plus, information.
