Aurora Borealis ? Billy Batson x Reader

~5~ Food!

"You say that again and I'm gonna hunt you, Freddy." I say annoyed.

"Catch me if ya can."

"You have a crutch." I say referring to his stick.

"...And..?"

"And why shouldn't we help you?"

"Because we also need to set up the bottom bunk for Billy to sleep tonight so maybe you could do that while I do these dishes? If I'm done already, I'll come and help." Freddy reassures, as Mary steps over.

I turn to Billy who shrugs. Mary gives us an ok sign before grabbing a tea towel.

"Okay, see you soon Freddy."

We both head up the stairs and Maya follows, before I shut the door.

"I had no clue you were going to be here." Billy says to me.

"Yeah, I didn't know you were going to be a foster kid here." I turn to him.

He sighs, shrugging his shoulders. "If I'm being honest with you. I've been looking for my mother for so long. So many Batson's that I've gone to meet just to try and find my mom. I don't accept foster homes because I know my Mother's out there!"

I let out a sigh, putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry to hear that. But...try and give this place a chance."

"That's what they all say!" He groans swatting my handoff. I get a bit offended but quickly let it slide.

"I know. Believe me, I'm not a foster child but I wish I was one."

"Why? You have a real family don't you?" He asks me.

My heart pains a little. "Yeah...but they aren't nice. It's really scary there. Maybe one day, I'll tell you. But that isn't today. You should give this place a chance honestly. I wish this was my family but it's not. Freddy is my best friend, I see Darla like a little sister, the other three are good friends and Rosa and Victor are so loving and kind. This place is really nice, even if it's weird to the start."

"Is that why you were sinking in your chair?" He asks.

I sigh. "It's the reason why I didn't put my hand in the middle. Victor is nice but because of bad experience around other male adults, I thought he would yell at me because he already told me once I didn't have to put my hand in the middle."

"Oh."

"Yeah..." I mutter, lowering my head. We both stand in silence for a moment, as I look down at my feet.

"Sorry for asking." He states. I lift my hair up and sigh.

"Yeah, it's okay. I forgive you."

He nods his head and I shrug my shoulders.

"So..." He begins. "Do you have a real trident?"

"I do. Every heard of Atlantis?" I ask him.

"Isn't that just a kiddie storoohhh my god."

His jaw drops a little as I pull out the silver trident. It's a bit taller than me as I lower it in between my hands.

"How'd you find this thing?" He asks, as I put it in his hands.

"One day. By one of those really tall hills where the waves crash against the rocks. The sea was really rough. I picked up the silver trident and I knew it belonged to one of the men who swam in the sea. I tried to look for him but I couldn't find him."

He hands it back to me with curious eyes. "I am not lying to you when I say this. There is this squad called the Justice League and superheroes are real. I'm trying to meet them all one day. Because this belongs to the king of the sea."
