sayshazamBilly wasn't really a "terror that lurks in the night" sort of superhero. He was more a "friendly neighborhood" kind of guy. The fact that his costume was bright red, white, and gold with a glowing lightning bolt kind of made any lurking that much more difficult even if he wanted to. But he didn't really want to. Sure there was a time and place for that but he liked being a hope and symbol. Heroes didn't just have to scare bad people, they could inspire good people.
But sometimes they definitely needed to scare bad people. Like vampires. It wasn't like the city was overrun with them or anything and sometimes they were good people. But tonight he was after some that definitely didn't fit the "good vampire" category.
The vampire (or something that acted a lot like a vampire) in question was currently leading a handsome, blond young man with a dazed look on his face down an alley. The creature glanced nervously around- but never looking up- before whistling and two more of his friends came out for snack time. It was like toddlers all rushing to get a juice box.
"Hey guys!" Billy-as-Shazam called out as he floated down to the mouth of the alley closest to the group. "You definitely shouldn't do that! Technically I don't know exactly what you were going to do but it doesn't look good."
"Oh shit," the original vampire said, stepping away from the human.
"Who the fuck are you?" another asked, furrowing her brow at Billy. He kind of liked it when they didn't recognize him. Then they didn't run.
"He's 'get-the-fuck-out-of-here!'" the first vampire said, grabbing the other two and yanking them toward the other end of the alley.
"You don't want to go that way!" he called out after them. "Trust me! That's the scarier way! Like... way scary! I'm the friendly option!"
