"I wasn't expecting THAT..." Ditto1 thought to himself absorbing his 3rd duplicate, after the man identified as "Ben" revealed himself to be the Deathstroke impostor who killed himself minutes later.

Ditto1 walked over to the injured Ditto2, who was being helped by Black Canary and Booster who was shot himself.

"I can take it from here, wish I could do the same for you 'Boost." Ditto1 said absorbing his last duplicate and becoming whole once again. 

"It's not nearly the worst I've taken. I hope this is the last time you guys see this much death. 'Tiger just fell off the deep end, it's happened to the best of us at times..." Booster Gold commented while holding his leg. 

"Don't make excuses for the man. I lost my significant other, to him no less, you didn't see me going out and executing the badguys or the League because of it did you? DID YOU?!?" Black Canary said a bit loud at the end and shaking some debris with her voice and resonance. 

She walked off with her head down.

"You'd think seeing the man who killed your husband dead would give you some form of closure. Our 'den-mother' is clearly dealing with a lot of stuff." Ditto thought still trying to take everything in, including the now mostly hairless Fenrir.

[b]Days later...[/b]

Billy Batson, now around 25-27 years old himself, is now the mentor of the kids in the team while Canary takes some time off to sort through some things. After moving some debris around the last few days in between rocking as a new radio DJ on the local Star City station, Batson decided it was time to just be Billy around the young heroes and not Shazam moving the stuff in the HQ around. After saying the magic word, lightning struck in the central hub of the underground HQ and the young heroes began coming around after dealing with the death and destruction of days earlier. The newest hero Bast was taken back to Gotham for an undetermined amount of time, not so much that she couldn't deal with what had happened, but because Catwoman couldn't. But there stood Billy, with floppy black messy hair and stubble, in jeans and a white t-shirt.

"I put a call into the Flash to help me finish up here with my speed of Mercury," he began pulling out a few credit cards, "these are basically company cards for the League in times like this. With the fire and cave in a lot of your things were destroyed. You guys split up and go shopping, catch a movie, just go out and be civilians for awhile..." he continued.

"Fenrir, Magnus, whatever you're going by now... Hawkman called earlier and said to be expecting a package soon..." Billy said in closing.
