withamagicwordFour months lost in Hell, and he returns to Earth. Four months lost and he changes the rules. He finds a way, suing the help of eight of the strongest magicians ever, to maintain the Rock and not live there and the joins the fight with the others, to help the Universe and world he loves to live on.
It is a running battle, time going on and passing by. Every moment, every day, is precious.
Somewhere along the way, he meets a girl. It may be one he knew once, it may be someone new. But he lives and he learns to make his heart free to love, on the run.
Somewhere in there, he learns to let go of the shadow of the past, and set his eyes on the future.
He fights, he lives, he loves.
Billy is Captain Marvel. Billy is the Wizard. Billy is a member of the Sentinels of Magic,a group dedicated to stopping evil at it's source. Billy is in love.
Billy? Is no longer alone.
And somewhere in there, he learns it is okay to be happy.
And time passes.
Four months after Hell, four months after rescue, a fifteen and a half year old Billy Batson looks back and he remembers.

Billy sits in his chair, watching the sunset, watching the day end.
It has been a good day, he thinks, and smiles. Out across the waters of the lake he lives by, he can see the birds swooping after fish. Life is happening out there.
He leans his head back against the chair and remembers, casting his mind back.
Milliways, Zuko, Steph, Blodwen.
All if it, is in his mind, entangled, but clear as ever. He smiles softly as he remembers Stephanie, and her smile. He sighs as he remembers how Zuko and he treated one another. And he takes a long breath as he remembers what happened with Blodwen and after. He looks long and hard at it from a distance of eight months of a full, incredibly different life, and finds that the wounds have scabbed over and truly begun to heal.
He looks back on it and is surprised that he now wishes Zuko and Stephanie well. He doesn't like Zuko even now, but he hopes the boy can find peace and happiness. He hopes there is a chance for him.
He smiles with his eyes closed as he hears his girlfriend inside the house.
She has been his friend, his ally, his best friend, for just a few months,and truthfully. He knows it will end soon, but it is okay. They both know it, and they both understand it, and they share that caring. It isn't love, and never was, but it is a kind of care he knows and trusts.
He has learned communication is a two way street and so is understanding. You both have to listen and speak. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
Billy smiles as he thinks of the time passed. It has been a running battle, even building this house and getting the land with the help of his friends took a lot of little steps in the middle of a lot of crises and fights and entanglements.
He hears the faint chime of the doorbell and knows that his guests are arriving. He hears her call his name and he rises, then as he takes hold of the door to step inside, he glances out at the lake again. He grins as he enters, thinking.
Four months after hell, four months of life and running, life is happening out there. And it is happening in here too.
