jla_watchtower The thing that was once Aleister Hook, perched upon the ruined building as he scanned the once proud city. He didn't know how Fawcett came to this state, nor did he care. His only concern was that the children needed him, they needed his gift now more than ever. Especially if what he had been told was true. The heirs of Shazam were in this city, and they were vulnerable.
His name was Skyhook, and he was reborn from the power of the Lady Blaze, daughter of the wizard Shazam. Once he was a physician in London over a century ago. During that time he sought children, and slayed them. He did not so so out of hatred or some perverse fixation, but to free these innocent beings from the future torment they would be forced to bear. The people of London in all their sin and hypocrisy, cloaked in their worship of a "benevolent" god, burned him for his actions. Knowing he would receive no mercy from his enemies' patron, he called out to any being that would listen. Thus the Lady Blaze saved his life, and gave him a new purpose. He would no longer have to kill the children, rather, he would bring them into a new, higher state of existence, free from all of Man's inherent flaws. Twice he attempted to so in the New World city of Metropolis, and twice he battled the "Superman".
Now things were different, he had a new ally in his crusade, and he would succeed. He must bring the heirs of Shazam into his flock, making the wizard's powers his. Nothing would stop them, his children would feel the skies. As if in answer to his thoughts, the flutter of a multitude of wings could be heard as his present flock shared in their "father's" anticipation.
"Come my children," Skyhook spread his massive wings as he took off. "It is time to find your future brother and sister."

Date: 2011-01-27 08:46 am (UTC)Helping the city recover from the ground level. Freddy ushered in and twisted his wrench, trying to torque down a pipe above him. The Fawcett homeless shelter was completely overran with the city's recent catastrophe and it was all hands on deck for the time being. The repairs were both major in some places, and general maintenance in others. But at least there was work, and helped provide him somewhere to sleep.
Under his breath, however, Freddy repeated as many words as he could. A glimmer of hope that somehow, someway, he'd find the right trigger. "Trigger. Gun. Pistol. Pistol Pete. Pistolera. Bolero. Bowl. Bowling Ball..."

She stood still, waiting for the lightning bolt to hit her.
But nothing ever came.
"Uh, Freddy...I think something's wrong with me."

Date: 2011-01-30 10:50 pm (UTC)"Yes, I can feel it. I can sense the power of Shazam nearby." The creatures eyes appear almost like a searchlight as he scans the roof, almost as if looking through it. While not true, he can sense the lifeforces of the humans within. He stops as he comes upon a shape, and he knew his search had ended. "Come out, heir of Shazam! I am willing to forego hostilities against the rest of these humans if you acquiesce. If not, my children will bring this shelter down on your heads!"

Date: 2011-02-10 11:02 pm (UTC)Still holding onto Freddy's hand, Mary closed her eyes, deciding to give it another shot...
"SHAZAM!"
The lightning bolt came down from the sky, making contact with both Freddy and Mary....
"I...I did it," she breathed excitedly. "Freddy, it worked!"
Except...where was Freddy?
And why was her voice suddenly deeper?

Date: 2011-02-26 08:25 pm (UTC)From over the shoulder. Funny thing is, he didn't feel any of the crashing about that he should. As a matter of fact he felt nothing at all. "Is...is this it? Am I dead? Mary? Where are you? I know you're...hang on, is that...who IS that?"
Freeman got a strange feeling about this whole situation. But he was sure it wouldn't last that long, especially if this pack of monsters had its way.

Date: 2011-04-09 03:55 am (UTC)"It seems I have to handle this myself." With that Skyhook spreads his wings and launches himself at Marvel.

Date: 2011-04-09 04:10 am (UTC)'Strong, but yet..not complete.' Skyhook bursts from the rubble. He dusts himself off as he looks back at his opponent. "I wasn't aware the wizard granted his power in this manner."

Date: 2011-04-09 04:49 am (UTC)"Of course they are innocent! That is why I'm here! They must be freed from the cruel cycle of mortal existence. Soon, very soon, his vision will be a reality!"
Skyhook shoots forward again, this time with a kick heading for Marve's chest.

And...nothing. No bolt, no strike, no response to the former CM3's command. "SERIOUSLY?"

"It doesn't really matter, truth be told. We're leaving Skyhook. Gather up your children and let's be off. I have what I came for." A glint from a metal object can be seen in Sorrow's shirt pocket.
