6 SHAZAM

"Why are you so quiet, your godliness?" Tony asked Loki who did not even give him a single glare. His eyes were focused on Shazam. "Hey bud, I think you broke his godly mind."

"I don't think so. He is smart enough to have his mind broke. I think I just gave him trauma with my bitch Slap," Shazam answered with a smirk on his face.

"Bitch Slap, huh? I wonder how you did it," Tony was trolling Loki and Shazam was going to play along.

"I can perceive everything in just micro seconds what would take most half a minute. I saw how when my slap landed on his face, it rippled as if a small explosion just occured in his skin. His eyes rolled back into his skull, his tongue hanging out as spittle flew out of his mouth, his body been lifted up, his toes curling..."

"Enough! I am a god and I will be treated as such by you lowly creatures!" Loki boomed, his collectedness breaking with every detail of how unsightly he looked when he was given his warrior's stain. Shazam smirked even more.

"I forgot to say the little sound you made, the sound of a little girl trying to scream but no sound coming out..." Loki tried to launch himself at Shazam but Ironman and Captain America pushed him down albeit with little luck. Shazam took his scepter and looked at the inconspicuous mind stone imbedded at the tip.

"I have to ask, how did you get this energy? It feels so vast it is like I am looking at a brain that is computing at inhuman speed and infinity energy! Is this what you used to control those agents?" Shazam asked Loki who was surprised.

"You managed to deduce that with one look?" Loki asked.

"Well, wisdom of Solomon," Shazam answered, vaguely. 'Future knowledge too but I will keep that to myself.'

"What would happen if I was to use it on you?" Shazam asked as he gave Loki a glare. The Asgardian squirmed when he saw the look then his heart started beating wildly when he saw Shazam coming closer and closer to him, the tip of the scepter going ever closer to his chest. With the confident look on Shazam, he had an uncomfortable notion that he knew what he was doing.

"Heads up guys, there's a storm incoming," Natasha announced. "You boys better stop playing with your toys and get strapped, it might be rough." Shazam sighed in disappointment and kept the scepter.

"Saved by the bell!" Ironman said as he went to sit down. Suddenly, they heard lightning strike the quinjet's roof. "Bud, tell me that's not you." They then heard something land on the roof, run towards the doors which were ripped open and in came a very fit Chris Hemsworth. From the armor he wore to it's cape, he looked regal, like a dream come true to many girls. The dream was however broken when a beam of lightning hit him out of the quinjet and into the trees below.

"Don't know who that was but I don't think he's on our side," Shazam said. "I'm gonna go and confront him."

"Are you saying he is alive after that?" Captain America asked in fright. That beam was made of lightning, surviving that would be crazy!

"He has. If I don't go after him he might destroy the quinjet to get what he wants," Shazam said as he started going towards the doors but Ironman got hold of his shoulders.

"I'm not gonna let you go alone. Besides, I missed the fun before, not gonna let this pass," he said before flying off after Thor.

"Captain, I hope you can keep Loki from manipulating Nat. She's not strong enough to overwhelm him but with you she might have a chance,"

"Sure. If you can, bring him alive. We would like to know why he attacked us," Captain said. Shazam nodded, giving the oddly quiet Loki with a side glance before he flew after Ironman.

Thor groaned as he pushed a tree with the girth of a barrel off of him. Since he could remember, he was the one playing with lightning, hurling it at his enemies, loving how they squirmed under the voltage. Today, he was given a taste of his own medicine and he hated how it made his body laggy. As a warrior, a debuff meant death and now a Midgard warrior made of metal landed in front of him

"You can still move after that! Got to hand it to Peter, he was spot on. Now, I'm gonna ask you this once, why did you attack us?"

"You Midgardians do not know what you are playing with. Give me back my brother before I decimate you all," Thor answered with slight arrogance. Tony scoffed inside his armor.

"Not gonna happen, Shakespeare!" he answered before firing his repulsers at Thor who dodged perfectly before throwing his hammer at Tony but before it hit him, Shazam appeared and punched Mjolnir away, shocking Thor once again.

"Who are you?" Thor asked as he recalled every Marvel's fans favourite weapon.

"You go right I go left," Tony told Shazam who nodded. Thor had centuries upon centuries of battle experience. He might be more powerful but he had the fighting experience. This was the Wonder Woman Superman conundrum once again. She has the experience to beat him but he has the strength to overwhelm her, so Shazam had to ask Tony for help as his brain worked on how to subdue Thor fast. He knew he was one of the good guys but he had to have this victory under his belt. It's a matter of bragging afterwards.

Tony charged to the right while Shazam went to the Left. Thor smiled with anticipation, showing his battle maniac side. Tony started with a repulser towards Thor's face who dodged. Shazam took this chance to accelerate as a huge battle-axe materialized in his hand. He brought it down hard but Thor's experience kicked in, going for a side flip, making the axe smash on the ground with such force a small earthquake erupted and every tree for a quarter of a mile was uprooted by the shockwave! Thor's whole body broke out in cold sweat when he saw that damage. He quickly armed himself with Mjolnir just as Tony charged and tried to punch him. Thor got hold of the fist, crushing the metal with his bare hands before looking behind him suddenly and throwing Tony towards Shazam who was coming in hot.

Using his accelerated thinking, Shazam thought of how to work this for their favour then smiled. He got hold of Tony's hand and threw him back towards Thor. Tony had a good brain on him so when he saw himself going towards their target, he suddenly turned so that his feet turned towards Thor then fired his thrusters, dousing the god of lightning's face in fire. Thor panicked a little but he proved his experience in battle by blocking Shazam's hammer with Mjolnir, leaving him with an opening which Tony exploited by landing a fist on Thor's ribs and a repulser fire right on his head, making him stagger.

The battle went on for a few minutes, the exchange between Thor and Shazam so devastating half the forest was gone, the weather above them appearing like two gods were fighting. Tony was in on this ride and in all his life, he would never forget the one time he felt weak enough to remind him he was actually a normal human being. One of the moments was when Thor was about to knock him out with his little hammer, which he noticed could dish out its share of damage, but Shazam appeared in front of him and took that hit for himself. The shockwave from that actually pushed him backwards a few metres while Shazam took two steps before he a actually coughed out blood!

"Those three are gonna destroy the whole forest. We don't know if there is any one else in there!" Natasha told Captain America who nodded.

"I never knew my brother would actually meet his better in Midgard!" Loki said in slight fright. Just then, another shockwave swept the sky, destroying another quarter of the forest, leaving only a quarter of it untouched but the fight was actually starting to heat up that even Ironman took his leave. When he landed on the quinjet, he actually went down on one knee.

"Those two are crazy! The shockwaves were enough to actually make me feel like my organs were about to rapture!" Tony said, getting out of his armor.

"We need to stop them from fighting," Captain America said with a slight frown on his face.

"Good luck with that. I'm not going down there again," Tony answered.

"That's where I tag in," Steve said, took a parachute then jumped out of the quinjet.

The two were having just a field day, each one of them actually enjoying the battle the more it went. At one moment, even Tony could not take the pressure anymore so he left but Shazam had actually caught the rhythm of battling Thor thanks to his amazing brain. The ground beneath them was been turned to craters with each hit or they miss and actually hit it.

Thor smiled maniacally as he charged Mjolnir by spinning it whilst floating, the sky above him turning even stormy. Shazam smiled as he knew that it was the final blow, go hard or go home so he floated too, his whole body started sparkling with lightning that even his eyes disappeared, appearing as if what was inside his body was just lightning. Thor pointed Mjolnir at him and fired his lightning while Shazam was about to fire his kamahameha beam at him when Captain America appeared in front of them, his shield intending to block the lightning from Thor. The problem was just like a broken dam, he could not stop his beam. He quickly aimed at the sky, sending the beam to the sky, actually parting the stormy sky. By rules of Dragonball, his Kamehameha was bigger meaning he won! For the first time since he gained this body, he was exhausted!

"Shazam!" he involuntarily said. A golden lightning bolt landed on him and when the two looked over, they saw a young man in his twenties, well build falling from the spot Shazam was. He landed on his feet but he wobbled a little before sitting down.

"Hey there!" Peter shouted at the two bewildered people. 'I could have gone unconscious with the kind of damage Thor dealt on me and if SHIELD or Hydra were to take my DNA as Shazam it might be bad news. Better they take Peter's than Shazam's.
