The 7th
When the Wizard explained to Billy about his powers he forgot to mention that the Champion of Magic had a seventh patron who would manifest in his greatest moments of need. Although this one did not count as "official" since he was not exactly sharing his powers like the others.
So it's understandable that Billy would freak out at the new voice in his head telling him to steal a sandwich from one of the rude people on the subway.
Billy tried to argue with the voice about it since his parents had taught him all about good and evil but it had been a few days since his conversation with the Wizard Shazam and it had been weeks since his last decent meal other than leftovers. The Sandwich was packed and its owner wasn't paying attention, one little slip and he would have something in his stomach.
Solomon was very upset with the new voice, he was fully aware of who was talking and thought that he had left after the disaster with Adam but apparently the Ghost King had taken an interest in "The New Champion", Solomon had suspicions that it was because Billy was a kid.
The new voice introduced himself as "Phantom", he argued a lot with Solomon, didn't seem to have any moral and Zeus always muttered about his older brother's annoying best friend whenever he manifested. The boy did not know who the new God was but at least he gave good life advice. Or he liked to think so.
Phantom had many arguments with the other immortals, Hercules complained about his friendship with Kronos (which the boy found worrying but decided not to comment), Salomon about his recklessness, Atlas and Achilles bothered him constantly and Mercury kept challenging him to races. But it seemed that thanks to him everyone had become interested not only in helping Captain Marvel but also Billy!
Phantom even had a lot of good advices on being a young hero or keeping his secret from the League and for the first time since he got his powers Billy didn't feel so lost.

Chapter Five: Stand Your Ground
Tumblr media
Pairing: Persephone!Steve x Hades!Reader
Chapter Summary: Hades has a meeting with Thor to discuss the upcoming debate and Steve’s part in the drama.
Word Count: 1kish
A/N: Here’s a little filler sort of to see the relationship between Thor and Hades as well as perhaps hinting at some answers to some questions perhaps maybe...

The tea sat on the desk between them, the steam rising up and Hades couldn’t help but chuckle about how formal Thor always kept things.
“We never go for lunch during these meetings,” she said offhandedly, reaching for her mug. 
“That’s because you always refuse, I’ve simply stopped asking.” Thor sipped his own drink and raised his eyebrows over the brim, “would you like to go out? I know a lovely cafe, you’d love a salad they do there it’s magnificent.”
“Oh gods no,” Hades smirked and crossed her legs nonchalantly. Thor’s office was homely, cluttered with things from his children and places he’d been. Though she could pick out the touches of Hera, the parts that were neatly organised and her little sticky notes on his computer with reminders for him written in her messy handwriting. “Anything exciting happen in the past week?” 
You didn’t really think Hades was left out of the loop about the going ons behind closed doors in Olympus? Of course not. She may rule another domain, the citizens of Earth and Olympus may fear her and not want her present but Thor was her brother. They were family and there was no beef between the two. So they decided that every week they would meet, Thor would give Hades the minutes from his meeting with the twelve gods and the only ones who knew were those they could trust; Loki, Sam and Jane. 
“When was the last time you spoke to Loki?” Thor asked, testing the ice to gain some information about how Hades would take the news of the most current events and gossip amongst the olympians. 
“Not for a couple weeks, I believe we’re having drinks tomorrow though. Why? What has our idiot brother done this time.”
Thor chuckled a booming laugh that made Hades smile as he shook his head. “I almost want him to be the one to tell you.”
“Dear Gaia help me what have you boys done?”
“Loki had a suggestion for the council,” Hades rolled her eyes as Thor picked at the loose paper in front of him. “He suggested you join the council. Come to meetings and everything.”
“I imagine the first to disagree was dear Demeter,” Hades smiled but it was full of sharp teeth and fire behind her eyes. 
“I don’t understand the grudge you two have with each other?” 
“SHE CALLS ME SATAN!” She rose from her seat, the tea forgotten about and the papers on her lap spewed onto the floor. Her heart pounded in her chest and she felt her blood boil, she focused on what she could see around her. The keyboard on Thor’s desk; the plant in the corner of the room, the bookcase along the wall next to her. It brought her breathing back to normal and her powers at bay. 
“Hades,” Thor warned, still calm in his seat. 
“No Thor. That woman is nothing but cruel, I don’t know if the mortal’s way of thinking has brushed off on her or if that’s just who she is but she is not someone I wish to associate myself with.” 
“So you don’t want to rejoin the council?” Thor was curious, he wondered if she actually wanted this, if she wanted a seat beside him or if she was happy watching and contributing from behind the curtains. 
“What good would that do? It’s not like anyone on Olympus or in the council wants me here.” But Thor could see it behind her anger. A part of her did want to be on the council. A part of her did want to be respected and listened to in the same way Jane and Loki were. Thor wanted that for her. He wanted the council to know just how much she already helped them and Thor as he ruled over them. People forgot that they were the only two who ruled over a body of people, over a kingdom. She was the only one who understood the pressure he was under and the meetings they had each week allowed them both to discuss the matters they couldn’t discuss with the others. 
“That’s not true and you know it,” he took a deep breath as Hades sat back down and rolled her eyes. “I want you back on the council, you may not like to admit it but the way of the living affects you too.” 
“Uhh yes, with your wars, famine and disease sending millions to my gates. Like I would support that.” 
“Exactly, you deserve a say in the matter.” 
“You sound an awful lot like the God of Spring,” her mind drifted to Steve and his argument, his insistent fighting for her to be on the council, to ‘have a say’. It drifted to him sitting before her wounded and tired looking as Sam patched him up after he fell into her domain. She remembered his cuts healing as he argued with her.
“Oh? And how would you know the God of Spring? I can’t imagine a scenario where your paths would have crossed.” Thor smirked at Hades and raised his brows as he leaned forward. 
“So you didn’t send him then?” She questioned.
“Hades what are you talking about?” Now he was concerned, he wouldn’t it past Demeter to go behind his back and try and sabotage the debate, or just mess with Hades for the fun of it. 
“He sent me a letter, claiming I should fight for my right to be on the council, I thought it was a trick from Demeter at first but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I thought perhaps you sent him because you knew I’d play nice. Apparently he did so on his own though, interesting.” She continued to think of Steve, wondered if perhaps he liked the decorations on her gates, if perhaps Wanda had been nice to him like she thought she would be. She wondered if she was too harsh to him, if he would turn to resent her because of her pushing him away. 
“Steve isn’t like his mother.” 
“Apparently not, for one he didn’t refer to me as the devil.” She rolled her eyes again, she felt like she constantly was today. “She knows I’m not god of death right?? She’s met Thanatos?? Does she know of her own son’s fut-” An attempt to take the attention off of her interaction with Steve and perhaps to remind herself of where he came from. 
“ENOUGH, you know for a fact she doesn’t know of that, Bucky’s prophecy is only known between us and Loki, not even Steve knows.” Thor’s voice boomed over her and thunder rattled above them. Of course, how could he have forgotten, how could he have thought this was about anything else. The thing that was the final straw for Hades, the prophecy that set her mind to hide away in the underworld. He cursed letting her in the know, perhaps it was a mistake. Perhaps thing would have been difference. But the rift between Demeter and Hades had already been put in place before the prophecy had even come to Bucky, Thor knew, deep down, that whether she knew or not it wouldn’t change anything. 
“He should, his interest in the underworld proves as such. This is his destiny Thor, bringer of destruction, father to the dead. That's what Bucky told us. Steve currently only knows half of who he is. He is not just the God of Spring.” That stupid good for nothing prophecy. That stupid good for nothing promise of secrecy. 
“It’s for his own safety.” Thor bit back at Hades. His voice stern and it gave no room for argument. But Hades didn’t care.
“No it’s not.” She stood from her seat and began to walk towards the door, pausing to turn back to Thor, “it’s for Demeter’s.”
