Synopsis: When the Earth needs a Champion and Avatar to defend the planet, Billie Batson soon finds that she is the One.

[-][+][-]
I want to thank Lilith Langtree for creating the Comic Retcon Universe. This story is a re visioning of Captain
Marvel.

Well, here I am, a petite brunette dynamo with awesome powers thanks to me finding a strange amulet that gave me back the heritage that was stolen from me, leaving me an orphan who grew up learning about the dark side of the city, yet maintaining my integrity which gave me a moral strength to resist temptation.

[-][+][-]
My name is Billie Lee Batson. I am a senior at Fawcett High School where I a member of the Media Club. The Media Club produces the schools newsletter: Fawcett Gazette and operates the school's intercom as well as producing the school's yearbook.

With me on staff is my twin sister Mary Anne Batson and our friend Freda Freeman. Freda, Mary and I are cheerleaders, so are used to wearing short skirts and wearing hose during colder weather, which helped me when I found my destiny as a super heroine known as Queen Thunder.

[-][+][-]
I was taking the subway to the WHIZ Radio/TV station to meet with Doctor Thaddeus Sivana who was the Dean of Sciences at Fawcett University. I'd been granted an interview because of my article on him and his many doctorates.

WHIZ radio had branched out into the cable TV market by becoming an affiliate of W.G.B.S. in Metropolis, giving WHIZ a sizable chunk of the cable pie by broadcasting local shows and interviewing the various heroes and their friends as well as any villains deemed safe enough to interview.

[-][+][-]
I was wearing my school uniform of red blazer, white blouse, blue skirt and hose with my black loafers. I got off of the subway and found an amulet shaped like a lightning bolt. When I put it over m head, I found that I felt as if I was living lightning.

I started to head up when I saw an altar with the strange lightning bolt design that matched my amulet. I saw a series of women wearing short dresses with the lightning bolt on their chest with the one in white calling out to me.

BILLIE BATSON, YOUR HEART IS PURE IN SPITE OF THE WICKEDNESS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN. I CHOOSE YOU AS MY AVATAR ON EARTH..

"Avatar?"

YES. I AM ARTEMIS, DAUGHTER OF GAIA, GUARDIAN OF LIFE.

"And you want for me to help you?"

YES. IF YOU AGREE TO BE MY CHAMPION, YOU SHALL BE GIVEN THE GIFT OF A NEW BODY AND MY SPECIAL BLESSING TO TRANSMUTE LIFE.

"I accept."

THEN AWAKEN MY CHAMPION, QUEEN THUNDER.

I felt the amulet engulf me within a blast of living lightning that imbued me with more energy than I ever thought possible. I saw in a mirror that my school uniform was replaced with a white tennis dress with yellow hem on the skirt, sleeves waist and collar with matching yellow boots and my legs were encased in tan hose.

AS QUEEN THUNDER, YOU ARE BLESSED WITH THE WISDOM AND SKILL OF MINERVA, THE SWIFTNESS OF ARTEMIS FOR SPEED, THE POWER OF HERA, THE STRENGTH OF HIPOLYTA. AS LONG AS YOU WEAR MY AMULET, YOU ARE IMMUNE TO ALL ATTACKS..

"Will I be the only one? This amulet has three identical amulets hanging with it."

WHEN YOU FIND A WORTHY AVATAR, THE AMULET WILL KNOW.

"Okay. Do I bring them here?"

THE OTHERS WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU WHEN IT IS TIME. THEN USE THE AMULETS TO CALL ME AND I WILL COME AND WELCOME THEM INTO THE FAMILY.

"How do I return to who I was, and do I need to return home to get another uniform?"

TO ATTAIN YOUR MORTAL FORM, JUST WILL IT. YOU MAY ALSO WILL YOU MORTAL APPAREL OVER YOUR AVATAR GARB.

So, taking her advice, I willed my school uniform back on, keeping my new power handy, then I heard her once again.

YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO BE MY CHAMPION. AS MY CHAMPION, YOU HAVE THE BLESSINGS OF MY AVATAR. AS YOURSELF, YOU MAY TRANSMUTE ANY LIFE.

"But I thought that I had both Blessings in both guises."

THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH POWER. POWER CORRUPTS. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY

Then I was whisked up to the WHIZ building where I saw Doctor Thaddeus Sivana in the cafeteria, having lunch. He was a diminutive, bald powerhouse who bore a striking resemblance to the actor Patrick Stewart of Star Trek fame.

[-][+][-]
He looked at me as if I was a piece of meat. I could feel that he was a lecherous old fool who wanted to bed me, if he could. He had a reputation for bedding many women and had several bastard children that were taken care of through a trust fund. I refused to be his next victim.

"Greetings, Miss Batson. I see that you are early for our interview. Would you like to partake of a tea with me?"

I knew that all too often he laced the tea with a soporific intended to place me under his hypnotic suggestion. But with my transmuting power, I was safe.

I drank the tea that he passed to me and conducted the interview with the grace and poise of Clark Kent, knowing that Sivana was furious that his tea was not working on me.

When the interview was over, he tried to influence me into wanting to bed him, but failed miserably, leading to his actual assaulting me. Sivana grabbed my arm and tried to force me to the couch for a quickie, but a well placed elbow into his throat ended his attempt to woo me

I quickly flipped him over my shoulder, using the self-defense moves that Coach Betty [BOOM BOOM] Bryant taught us girls. She was a Marine reservist and felt that any young lady should be able to defend herself. If she knew that I had just used her teachings to great effect, she would be proud of me.

"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME! I SHALL HAVE YOU JAILED, BITCH!"

I smiled at him, "Oh, really? Then what will you do when your assault on me is made public?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

I pointed up to the security cams, "The station has a video record of your actions. And will broadcast the video when you have me jailed."

He did not know that I was bluffing about the video because I saw the telltale evidence of the cut leads that his henchmen had doubtlessly done.

"BAH! HUMBUG! YOU ARE NOT WORTH MY TIME!"

I relaxed when he stomped out of the room, but now my job was in jeopardy since he could pull a few strings and have my job. I decided to fight fire with fire and went to the station manager's office.

[-][+][-]
Dudley Fawcett was an elderly gent who looked like Ricardo Montalbá¡n, but talked like W.C. Fields. Mister Fawcett was a kind gentleman in his '40's who had no children, so when he found out that me and my sister were orphans, he adopted us, but let us keep our surnames.

Growing up as his adopted daughters we never got anything but the best that he could provide for us as a single male attorney fresh out of Fawcett University.

Unca Dudley had inherited the Fawcett Estate, but due to the mismanagement of funds by shady accountants, he had to sell the extensive estate to pay off the accumulated debt, but when his accountant friend Miss Dale Shaw got a hold of the books, she was able to prove that Angus Fawcett had bribed the accountants to bankrupt the University so that he could turn it into Fawcett Acres, a planned community.

Unca Dudley donated Fawcett Estate to the University which promptly converted the mansion into a student dorm and the surrounding estate property into the Fawcett University Sports Complex, home of Fawcett University Athletic Program.

[-][+][-]
Unca Dudley had brought Mary, Freda and I to as many of the games as he could, so I was well known on campus and had no trouble getting into his office located in the Administration/Drama Building. Administration was located on the main floor with faculty offices above and the Drama Theatre below in the basement where the stage held the central heating and storage was under the auditorium seating with a maze of back stage cubicles for wardrobe and dressing rooms as well as the offices for the Conductor and Stage Manager.

"Hey, Unca Dudley," I said as I hugged him as he was getting his daily fix of caffeine from chilled coffee. No hot coffee for him.

"Well, if it isn't Billie B. What can I do for you, my little Chickadee?"

I poured myself a mug, knowing that we both liked our chilled coffee the same way, "I just had an interview with that slime ball, Sivana," I fumed.

"The old letch tried his wiles on you?"

"Yes. He uses a drugged tea to bed his conquests. But I am now immune to such, much to the creeps annoyance," I smirk as I sip my coffee.

"OH?"

"My metagene," I hedged. I wasn't ready to reveal my new life as an Avatar.

Unca Dudley sat his mug of the heavenly brew down and had a good belly laugh.

"That Sivana called me to have you banned from the university. Now I know why. And how does it feel to be Gaea's Champion and Avatar?"

"WHA?"

"That amulet of yours is a Batson heirloom from your family’s days as practicing Wiccans. Your great granny Betty Batson was the last Avatar and until now, no other was ready."

"How do you know that I'm ready?"

"You were chosen, Billie."

[-][+][-]
"Chosen? How do you know that I was chosen?"

"Billie, I am much older than I look. I was born in Ancient Egypt as one of the Pharaoh's Court along with the Hebrew, Joseph. I witnessed the increase of the Hebrews and the edict that turned them into slaves as well as the events that led to the exodus and birth of the kingdom of Israel."

"If you were there, why did you not help them?"

"I listened to THE VOICE that told me that He was in control."

"Then what did you do?"

I left to continue my studies throughout the world and in time, found Atlantis."

"But Atlantis is a myth!"

"Far from a myth. Atlantis was the center of magical studies where Gaea was worshiped for most of the wheat came from other lands. Atlantis was a mountainous island the size of Alaska, shaped like a star."

"Why did Atlantis sink?"

The Atlanteans had conquered the surface of the world, so Gaea lowered the island down into a hidden cave and raised a fertile island for the Amazons of Themyscira."

"You mean that Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl are real?"

"Very much so. Their appearance during World War 2 has since spawned her myth in comics."

"What shall I do with my powers?"

"As Billie, you have Sivana as an enemy. He will soon become Queen Thunder's enemy as well."

"But why?"

"As Billie, you have denied him a victory. As Queen Thunder, you personify all that he hates in women."

"Will this always be?"

"The future is not set in stone. But it is his choice to make as well as yours to offer peace."

[-][+][-]
As I left Unca Dudley, I contemplated my new life. Here I was, a girl who had bested the city's leading scientist when he tried to seduce me. Did he know where I lived? If so, were Freda and Mary safe?

Then I saw an explosion at Fawcett Science Labs. I made sure that I was alone, then I touched the amulet and became Queen Thunder. I saw my reflection in the mirrored doorway of Sam's Cafe and liked what I saw. I was wearing the white tennis dress with yellow hems, slippers and star on my chest. As I took off, I noticed that my bloomers were white as well, while my legs were encased in suntan pantyhose. Just showing up would make any man drool. I landed upon a giant robot that was busy tearing open the lab.

"STOP THAT BIMBO!"

I looked up and sure enough, I saw Sivana wearing a pink long sleeve shirt with an "X" shaped equipment belt centered on his chest containing two mini cylinders in each quadrant. Gray gloves, and belt as well as green trousers tucked into red jet boots.

"Who's the guy who needs to color coordinate?" I chided.

"YOUR MASTER, BITCH!" he yelled as he threw a cylinder at me that expanded into a cloud of freezing gas. It enveloped me and froze against me, but only tickled as the gas touched my nether regions.

"That tickles," I laughed as I vibrated the ice away.

"THEN TRY VOLCANO HEAT!" he yelled and sent a fireball my way.

I knew that I wouldn't be harmed, but the heat would damage the surrounding property and gathering spectators, so I spun my arms like a tornado and sent it into the ice where it turned it into steam.

"Careful there. Others could get hurt." I quipped, but knew that he was out of control.

"THEN STOP ME, BITCH!" he yelled as he rocketed over to the freeway.

I kept pace, even flew ahead, but his leer as he saw my panty made me withdraw because of modesty.

"NICE ASS, SLUT! I BET YOU GIVE.. URK!"

I slammed my fist into his jaw, hoping to break it. "Never insult a woman, Sivana."

He leered at me with a bloody smile, revealing that his skull was made of metal, "Sorry, but I have enhanced my body far beyond the norm."

Had my punch damaged him, somehow beyond a bloody mouth? Then I heard the Voice of Gaea, HE HAS TURNED HIS BONES INTO METAL, HIS BODY INTO A NON_LIVING CONSTRUCT. HE IS ALREADY DEAD

Nanites?

OF CARBON-PLASTIC

Will my powers work on him?

ALL THINGS ARE SUBJECT TO MY POWER

Thanks.

I saw him about to lift a commuter train using some sort of gravity beam that was causing trash to fall up and shape into lethal arrows aimed at me. I caught each arrow and threw them as an armada at his jet pack, causing it to fail.

Uttering yet another curse, he stood on anti gravity legs to throw the train at me, but I broke the beams on the train and gently returned it to the tracks and increased its speed to send it safely on its way.

He stunned me when he hit me with his anti-gravity beams that sent me into Lake Fawcett, almost cracking Fawcett Dam that drained into the Mississippi River below where Fawcett Docks brought in most of the trade.

Rocketing up, I caught him in the chest with a haymaker that sent him to the moon as he spewed a steady string of expletives until he was out of the atmosphere.

Flying back to the lab, I saw that the robot was being loaded up into a series of S.T.A.R. Labs trucks. I landed by Professor Emil Hamilton, Sivana's rival as leading scientist. Emil was a brown haired man who kept himself physically fit, but hid the fact under a business suit and lab coat.

"Emil, are you taking the robot to your labs?" I asked as I landed, giving him a good look at my bloomers as my skirt flew up.

[-][+][-]
This skirt business was getting out of hand, so I called out to Gaea Why a damned skirt? Why not tights or shorts?

YOU CHOSE YOUR ATTIRE. ANY ATTIRE WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT UPON MALES

Okay. Why a female Avatar?

YOU ARE FEMALE. TO CHANGE GENDER WOULD CAUSE CHAOS AS YOU DEALT WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE

What about Unca Dudley?

WHEN HE CHOOSES, HE MAY BECOME A MALE AVATAR WITH GODS GIVING HIM HIS POWER

[-][+][-]
He scratched his head as my skirt lowered, "Who are you? And why the costume, not that I mind seeing great gams, but I am guessing that having men drool is a mixed blessing."

I smiled I like this man. He's like a kindly father and isn't trying to flirt I am Queen Thunder, Champion of Gaea. I have read your articles in the Daily Planet. And thanks for not drooling."

"You're more than welcome, Miss. As for the robot, it's going to my lab where I shall retro-engineer it to create battle suits for our soldiers."

"Good. Thaddeus Silvana created them."

He sighed, "I knew that either he, or Lex Luthor were the inventors. We three graduated from Metropolis Science Academy where I was Valedictorian, much to their displeasure."

"Oh?"

"We were all in the same year. But they are older than I. I graduated from Metropolis High School at Ten years old, then went to college where Anthony Stark and Reed Richards were my mentors."

What about Ted Kord and John Henry Irons?"

"They are graduates of Gotham Tech where they developed their respective battle suits. Irons is based more on durability and strength with a high powered sonic weapon, where as Kord's is built to enhance agility, speed and protection, making him a combination of Spider Woman and Bat Girl."

"Okay, thanks. Too bad there are that many male heroes," I sighed as I flew away, not caring that he could see my bloomers.

"Take care, Miss Thunder. There are many villains out there who would delight in defeating you."

"Not likely, Professor, not with my power!" I shot back as I headed for the moon to deal with Sivana.

[-][+][-]
On the way there, I heard Gaea's Voice TO LEAVE THE BOUNTY OF THE EARTH, FLY TO THE SUN AND HOLD UP THE AMULET

"I thought that Artemis was one of the goddesses who empower me."

SHE IS, BUT YOU MUST GAIN THE PROTECTION OF APOLLO TO WITHSTAND THE MIGHT OF THE SUN

I held up the amulet and felt the sun's power course through my veins.

GREETINGS FAIR MAIDEN. I SEE THAT GAEA HAS FOUND A NEW CHAMPION. I GRANT YOU FREEDOM TO FLY THROUGH MY DOMAIN

How great is your domain?

THE SOLAR SYSTEM. ALL BEYOND IS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF ZEUS

Thanks, Apollo

I couldn't be certain, but I think that I saw the sun actually smile at me, then wink and blow me a kiss. All that I do know is that the Earth suddenly glowed is a global rainbow for a second.

"Well, nice of you to meet me. Saves me the time and effort to find you, slut!"

I spun around and saw Sivana, unharmed from his time on the Moon. His feral smile bespoke of horrors that he intended to inflict upon me before he killed me and I saw that he possibly could now that he was powering up from solar radiation.

I slammed both of my feet into him, drop kicking him to the dark side of the Moon, Don't you ever learn? I asked via telepathic radio.

To Be Continued In Queen Thunder-3

Synopsis: When the Earth needs a Champion and Avatar to defend the planet, Billie Batson soon finds that she is the One.

[-][+][-]
I want to thank Lilith Langtree for creating the Comic Retcon Universe. This story is a re visioning of Captain Marvel.

As I flew to the dark side of the Moon, I felt a shift in my apparel. As I looked at my legs, I saw my suntan pantyhose become white tights and my slippers become boots. As I looked at my arms, they were encased in a tight fitting long sleeved top with yellow arm bands and my skirt rolled up under my yellow belt.

"SAY WHAT?"

I heard Apollo chuckle,HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR SPACE APPAREL?

"Space apparel? I look like every man's wet dream!"

DID YOU NOT BEFORE?

"Yes, but in the dress, I at least looked like a cheerleader! Now I look like I'm ready to bed some man!"

ALL OF THE GODDESSES KNOW YOUR PLIGHT.

"But can they get pregnant from some randy cad who will not take 'NO' for an answer?"

YOUR SELF IMAGE WILL DETERMINE HOW OTHERS SEE YOU.

"Meaning that if I see myself as a cheerleader or a Playboy bunny, then others will react, accordingly?"
.
YES, SEE YOURSELF AS A COMPETENT YOUNG WOMAN AND ONLY THE ONES LIKE SIVANA WILL STILL TREAT YOU AS LESS.

[-][+][-]
I flew on to the dark side of the Moon as I pondered what Apollo had said to me. Like Zeus, Apollo had sired many children among mortal women, so was a bit of a womanizer. But he also knew the Olympian goddesses who had bestowed upon me their powers.

As a goddess, they could easily appear as young or as old as they chose, but Aphrodite and Artemis were renown for their beauty. Aphrodite is the embodiment of Love in all of it's forms, and as such is also the sexiest goddess.

But Artemis is virgin goddess who many men drool over since she wears such provocative clothing as the Huntress. Wearing a gown that leaves her legs bare, she looks like a cheerleader. But funny thing is that the goddess Athena in wearing battle armor does not evoke such a response.

Then my self image began to change as Hera spoke to me,Ah! I SEE THAT THE CHAMPION HAS BEEN PONDERING UPON HER SELF IMAGE. THAT IS VERY GOOD.

"What? Are all of the Olympians going to be chatting with me?"
I joked.

I could sense the humor behind the stern warning,DO NOT TRIFLE WITH US, CHAMPION. WE ARE NOT TOLERANT OF DISRESPECT.

"What will you do. spank me?"

Then I heard her laugh,GAEA IS RIGHT! YOU ARE MORE THAN WORTHY TO BE THE CHAMPION.

"Thank you, but why the visit?"

I HAVE COME TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SELF IMAGE. BUT I SEE THAT YOU HAVE NO NEED FOR MY HELP. AS FOR MY ATTITUDE, TOO MANY RECENT MORTALS HAVE SHOWN DISRESPECT. I HAD TO ASSURE MYSELF THAT YOU WERE STILL PURE OF HEART AND NOT CORRUPTED BY THE MORTAL WORLD.

"Fat chance with Unca Dudley's teachings."

HE IS A MOST WORTHY WIZARD. HE HAS TAUGHT YOU WELL.

[-][+][-]
I felt much better now that Hera had spoken to me. I no longer saw myself as some sex symbol, now I saw myself as a woman. Oh, I knew that Sivana would still drool over seeing me, but Emil treated me with respect.

I intended to use him as my Science Adviser instead of my first choice, Sivana. How such a gifted mind could also harbor such vile thoughts was beyond me. He had created a persona of a suave and debonair man of the world such as James Bond or Remington Steele, but in reality, he was a letch of the worst sort.

Rounding the Moon's day side, I was soon assaulted with a storm of meteors aimed like daggers at me.

"See how you like iron, bitch!"

"Sorry, but I've had my recommended daily intake," I retorted as I sent them back to him with enough power to heat them into molten slag.

He tried to avoid the slag shower, but his solar powered armor was too slow. I heard a sizzling sound over his audio sensors as he was encased in molten metal, "I'm trapped, I can't get free! If I can't recharge my suit's batteries, I will die!" he exclaimed.

"If I take you into the sunlight, can you recharge?"

"If in the Earth's atmosphere, yes."

I grabbed him and rocketed back to Earth, fully expecting him to attack me as soon as he could and I was not disappointed. As soon as we were over the Atlantic Ocean, he tried to heat the slag up and encase me in it, but I dropped him only to hear him shriek in pain as the slag burnt away his costume, leaving him in only his kevlar bodysuit. I saw him hit the ocean near Paradise Island and a young brunette in a Grecian style dress pull him ashore.

"Why did you hurt him?"

"He is an evil man who detests women as anything but sex objects."

"Then why bring him here to Paradise Island, home of the Amazons?"

"I did not know that this place existed. I thought that it was a myth."

"We exist in Man's World, but are not a part of it."

"If so, then why be here at all?"

"We are here to guard the gateway to a prison that houses monsters that if freed would terrorize Man's World."

"Then let me take him away from here before he can cause you harm."

"No, by our custom, we must tend to his injuries."

"But according to Myth, no man may set foot on Paradise Island, Lest the Gift to the Amazons be taken away."\r

"That is true, but we are on the Island of Healing, not Themyscira, Paradise Island."

"Be careful of him. His kevlar suit might still hold surprises."

"Can you see if that is so?"

I looked at him and my eyes saw into the finest detail of the weave. I saw that the suit was for protection, only. I have Microscopic Vision. What other gifts of Sight do I have?

YOU EYES SHALL NOT BE BLINDED. YOU SHALL SEE IN DARKEST NIGHT AND THROUGH DENSEST FOG> YOU SHALL SEE AS FAR AS THE HEAVENS AND SEE UNTO THE SMALLEST DETAIL,announced Zeus.

"Thank you Father Zeus."

The amazon looked at me in wonder, "You just spoke with the King of the Gods of Olympus. Who are you?"

"My name is Queen Thunder: Champion of Gaea."

She bowed before me, "Welcome to the home of the Amazons. I am Princess Diana, daughter of Hippolyta."

"Do you not have a sister?"

"Yes, Drusilla."

"Now that I'm here will you two visit Man's World?"

"If it is decreed."

Then Diana began to tend to Sivana, carefully removing his kevlar suit to reveal skin tone Speedos swim trunks, making him look like a gelded male mannequin. As she tended to him, a younger version of Diana approached.

"Sis, Mother just got Word from Athena."

"What does Mother want?"

As soon as this MAN is well, we are to follow our sister Amazon to Man's World and become Champions of Peace."

"You mean me?"

"Yes, you."

"But I'm not an Amazon!"

"As Gaea's Champion, you are one of us."

I bowed to them, "I am honored to be an Amazon. But how will you get to the out side world?"

Then I aw a beautiful clear plane shaped like a bird land by them, "Our Chariot to MAN'S WORLD, built by Hephestus, Himself," informed Drusilla.

"According to Myth, both of you are Blessed by the Olympian gods with gifts. Is that true?"

Diana spoke up, "Yes, the Myth is true, but our strength is as great as Myth tells."

"What will you wear as Champions?"

Diana spun around and her Grecian dress and sandals morphed into a red and blue leotard with matching boots and suntan hose, "Why those colors and why the hose?"

"We will head to the Land of the Eagle where these colors have meaning. As for my legs encasement, I saw yours and wanted to try it."

"You like?"

"The encasement is appealing in many ways. Why do you wear them?"

"Same as you."

Then Drusilla spoke up, What about me?"

"Go ahead, Sister. Show us your Champions garb," laughed Diana.

Drusilla spun and like Diana, was garbed in a patriotic outfit, but her's was a red leotard with a red skirt and boots. Like Diana, she wore hose and sported a silver glowing lasso and matching bracelets.

"Why the bracelets and lasso?"

"The lasso is to control others and to send us elsewhere quickly. The bracelets are for protection," said Diana.

Then Sivana awoke and called his battlesuit to him, "Ha! Like any female, you leave my weapons near by!"

I rocketed up and stripped him of his armor and Kevlar, "You have proven yourself to be an animal. Now let the Judgment of GAEA be done!"

"NOOOOO!"

His body shrunk into a scrawny version of his former body, "The drugs that made you who you were are now gone. Live with the body you were born with.

Synopsis: When the Earth needs a Champion and Avatar to defend the planet, Billie Batson soon finds that she is the One.

[-][+][-]
I want to thank Lilith Langtree for creating the Comic Retcon Universe. This story is a re visioning of Captain Marvel.

Seeing him in this state, I began to wonder why he was the way that he was, "Sivana, who gave you the enhancements?"

"It was Lex Luthor! I took my formula for creating my enhanced body to him under the understanding that other men would benefit from my design. He did give me my enhancements, but he also turned me into his weapon. It was my arrogance that turned me into a monster," he sighed.

"No, you've always thought of females as nothing but slaves for your amusement and pleasure. The enhancements simply brought out your baser self," announced Diana.

Then Sivana morphed back into his other form, knocking us over, "GOOD TO SEE SO MANY SLUTS SHOWING ME THEIR PANTIES! WHO SHALL I DO FIRST?"

I hit him so hard that he rocketed into the atmosphere, "None, Sivana! How you returned,, I do not know! But I shall end your reign of terror!"

Dru got up and went over to her sister, "We must tell Mother about this so that Paradise Island will be ready."

"Then I will see you two, later?"

"I do not Know, Thunder. Only Hera does," announced Diana.

"Then, I'm off! Farewell for now."

As I rocketed after Sivana, I noticed that the islands below me faded away, leaving ocean behind. THE AMAZONS HAVE BEEN SECURED FROM MAN'S WORLD. ONLY ANOTHER AMAZON OR AMAZON MAY SEE VALKYRIES, NOW informed Hera.

"Valkyries?"

NORSE SISTERS OF AMAZONS.

"Who other than I may see Paradise Island?"

SOON, YOU SHALL MEET OTHER AMAZONS AND VALKYRIES IN YOUR FIGHT AGAINST YOUR FOE. LOOK FOR THE GREEN LIGHT.

"Valkyries? Are they not associated with Odin?"

THEY ARE THE AMAZONS SISTERS.

[-][+][-]
As I pondered what Hera told me, I saw my quarry fighting a giantess wearing a leopard skin leotard. She was holding her own against him until he hit her. She fell down and shrunk down to human size.

"AH, A SLUT RIPE FOR THE PLUCKING," he chortled as he landed by her.

"Why must you continue to be such an asshole?" I asked as I lifted him away from the sprawled form of Giganta.

"YOU SLUT! YOU SHALL NOT DENY ME MY PREY!" he exclaimed as he sent a jolt of electricity into me, sending me into a local pool.

I was getting sick and tired of him, so I rocketed into his back, sending him into Metro River.

"I won't let you hurt another! Try, just try anything!" I said as he came out of the river.

"YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN STOP ME, SLUT?"

"The name is Queen Thunder."

"THUNDER, SHMUNDER! YOU CAN NOT STOP ME!"

I saw Giganta awaken and row until she easily grasped him, "What about me?"

Try as he might, he couldn't get out of her grip, nor speak as all of the power in his suit went to life support.

"I'm Queen Thunder."

"I'm Giganta. Pleased to meet you. Have you met Jade?"

"Not yet. I've just come into my powers and have been tangling with THAT bozo. But I have read about you and Jade in Jimmy Olsen's page in the Planet and Gotham Gazette."

"Well, just wait for a bit and she'll be here."

"Okay."

[-][+][-]
While I was on Paradise Island, Jade's Ring alerted her to my presence.

ALERT! NEW META HUMAN OF INCREDIBLE POWER DETECTED

"Ring, where is this meta human?"

CURRENT POSITION, OVER ATLANTIC OCEAN, HEADING INLAND TOWARDS METROPOLIS

"Giganta is there. Can she meet the new Meta?"

ALERT! INCOMING TARGET OF POWER TARGET METROPOLIS

"Is this another Meta?"

AFFIRMATIVE

"Is it the same Meta?"

NEGATIVE. A NEW ONE WITH POWER EQUAL TO A LANTERN'S

"Is it after the other Meta?"

AFFIRMATIVE. YOU MUST MEET BOTH TO ASCERTAIN EACH ONE'S POWER

"Alena, meet me in Metropolis."

Alena's voice came back, "What's in Metropolis?"

"Two meta human. One is fighting Giganta, and she needs help."

"What about the other one?"

"Fighting the other, but we're both needed in case either or both go rogue."

"Why not call on Phoenix?"

"Only if we can't handle them."

"On my way."

Jade teleported from her ship to the Earth.

[-][+][-]
Alena was on patrol over Gotham City when Jade's Ring called out to her.
After ending the call, she saw a crook using a weird gun to open up the side of GOTHAM FEDERAL RESERVE BANK and cause the gold bars to levitate to a waiting van.

"Hey, Sparky! Those bars aren't yours! Put them back."

He turned around and fired a beam of light at Alena, "Little girl. I am Magno the Great! Master of Magnetism! I am beyond such as you!"

Alena's Ring easily reflected the light back to him, shorting out his guns, "The name is Green Lantern, Bozo."

"ARGH!" With that, he fell down, with the gold over his head.

Alena caught the gold and returned it to the bank and restored the building's wall, then flew to Metropolis.

[-][+][-]
Sivana squirmed, causing Giganta to loosen her hold, "Thunder! He's getting loose!"

"Let him go, I'll deal with him,"

She released Sivana and returned to her normal size. As she was morphing, I saw an aura around her that projected a hologram to keep the public from seeing her naked. Then as she regained her normal size, clothing reformed upon her.

Sivana headed up into the gathering storm and hurled a thunderbolt at me, "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE LIGHTNING!"

It hit me full force, but instead of hurting me, it empowered me.

"Sivana! I am the Champion of the Earth! I am empowered by Gaea! No natural force can harm me. Here! Have your thunderbolt back!" I announced as I sent the lightning from my hands.

It hit him and shorted out his battle suit, causing him to fall until a green armor suit formed around him, "I WAS TOYING WITH YOU BEFORE! NOW I SHALL CAUSE METRO NUCLEAR TO GO CRITICAL!"

He flew out of sight, heading for Mount Metro: the world's largest man made mountain. It was begun after the Korean War as a bunker against nuclear war. But over the years, new bunkers were built atop the older bunker until a nuclear reactor was installed to handle the power needs.

Mount Metro over the Cold War years had become the center for Cadmus Research Labs. Cadmus was responsible for America's stealth technology as well as genetic research funded by Wayne Tech, Queen Enterprises and Kord Corp.

Within Cadmus was a series of labs whose contents if unleashed, would devastate the planet, not to mention the nuclear reactor that powered the facility.

Mount Metro housed a large, divers assortment of military vehicles and O.M.A.C. soldiers whose purpose was to keep Cadmus safe as well as any Cadmus Allies. Atop of Mount Metro was Metro Lake, A thousand foot deep fresh water reservoir that provided water for the reactor and personnel as well as for Metropolis, itself.

I caught up with Sivana as he started to vaporize the water, thusly using the reactor to overheat. I inhaled, then released my breath, causing the top layers to freeze solid.

"WHAT MUST I DO TO STOP YOU, BITCH?"

"Sivana, if I must die to stop your evil, I will gladly do so!"

"HAH!"

I called up all of my power, infusing myself with the raw energy of the storm, "GOODBYE, GAEA!" I said as I hit him with the full fury of a hurricane, stripping him of his armor and sending him rocketing up where he was caught by a Lex Corp jet.

Seeing his body caught by the jet, I asked, "Is it over?" then I passed out and fell onto the frozen lake cracking the ice.

I awoke as Billie Batson. As I stirred, I saw Gaea standing by me, smiling, "You have done very well, my Champion. I am well pleased."

I stood up and bowed to her, "Mother Gaea, I am humbled beyond measure. But I am not worthy of your Praise," I wept.

"Why do you say that?"

"I gave up being your Champion to stop Sivana."

She hugged me, "My Child, THAT is why you are worthy. To willingly make that sacrifice tells me that you truly love the EARTH."

"I do. Shall I return to Unca Dudley?"

"No. You are STILL my Champion. Touch your amulet."

I did and I became Queen Thunder, again, "WOW!" I exclaimed.

"Wow, indeed. Now it is time to meet other Champions."

"Gaea, why are we not speaking telepathically?"

"You were not ready. Next time. Be ready," she said as she faded away.

[-][+][-]
Then I saw three green globs heading my way, focusing on them, I saw that they were Giganta, Jade and Green Lantern, "I am Queen Thunder, Champion of Gaea. I mean no harm."

They landed and Giganta came and shook my hand, "Thanks for the assist against that villain."

"You're most welcome. And his name is Sivana."

Jade looked pensive, "Where is he?"

"A Lex Corp jet caught him. I'd have followed, but I was too tired."

SHE TELLS THE TRUTH

"Was that your Ring?"

"Yes, I am Jade. I am here because my Ring alerted me about you and Sivana. Now I need to know if you are a threat."

"Is that why Green Lantern and Giganta are here?"

"Alena is here in case I need her help if you go rogue. But Giganta is here because she likes you."

"Then will you check me out? I know that I am no threat, but you need to know."

"Alena, scan her please."

She held her ring to me and I felt its green aura.

QUEEN THUNDER IS AN ALLY OF EQUAL POTENTIAL TO ME

"I am magical, in nature, being Blessed by Gaea with power."

QUEEN THUNDER MAY FLY THROUGH THE HEAVENS, HER STRENGTH THE EQUAL OF AMERICAN DREAM

"Thank you Heart."

"Do you wish to join my team?"

"Yes."

Jade passed me a ring, "Then wear this Ring. It will let you appear as anyone and act as a translator as well as let me or the others can contact you."

"Thanks! I can't wait to tell my sister Mary."

"I know what you mean," sighed Alena.

"By the way, I am also known as Billie Batson."

"We know," said Jade as they returned to Jade's ship.

To Be Continued In Red Thunder
