⑰ To the future → Is it everything you've dreamed? Is it horrible? Whatever happens, you're here to witness what happens to you in the future. Either you take the place of your future self or you're just there to watch. Might cause some confusion if people start seeing double though...

⑪ I saw you → you saw the other person doing something bad and you need to confront them about it.

Shit.
[Hank stands there, hands on his hips. He just missed the fucking guy, he knows he did. Since this guy started doing shit like this Hank's had to move as fast as he's ever gotten to crime scenes in the last three years - probably even more than that, faster than when he actually tried, mostly, to get to them while they were still fresh. And he still didn't catch him.
Sure, the suspect's right here in front of him. But it's the most frustrating possible victory.]
Goddamn, motherfucking superheroes...
[He heaves a sigh, rubs at his beard, looks around - okay. Witness time. And he's got to be quick about it. The kind of people who stick around and tell you they were witnesses are usually the kind of people who get a kick out of wasting police time, and he really doesn't want all his rushing here to be for nothing. He starts walking, looking out for any movement, ready to try and follow anyone who looks like they're trying to make tracks. Or, hell, sneak up on them if he can, although that's not usually something that actually works for guys like him - but if it turns into a chase, there's not actually a lot he can do. You can tackle a suspect, if you need to, but that'd be hard to justify to catch a witness to something that's not even technically a crime. If Hank wants anything he's going to have to try and get to someone before they think about getting away.]
no subject
But Shazam handles everything pretty quickly, which is fine, and usually he'd fly off to turn back somewhere else, but... the place they're meeting is close by and he needs to be Billy when he gets there so. With the Speed of Mercury, he rushes off to a nearby alley and,]
Shazam!
[Lightning, smoke, all that, and Billy's back. He'll have to cross through the crime scene, which might be tricky but who's gonna pay attention to some kid... is what he thinks when he notices a cop like, right there. He just casually puts up his hoodie and starts walking away. He'd run if he wasn't worried that'd end him up in more trouble.]
no subject
Well. No, he wouldn’t. But that’s got nothing to do with money. The point is, Hank’s instincts might not be right one hundred percent of the time but they’re worth listening to and he listens to them now, keeping his eyes locked on the small figure in the hoodie in case the kid tries to find a crowd to lose him in.]
Hey!
[He has to follow that up with something quick, something stupid enough to get someone’s attention. ‘Can I ask a few questions’ usually works on the skittish types about as well as yelling ‘Stop! Police!’ works at calming people down, but if he can get whoever this is off balance for a second he might have a chance. Hank speeds up a little to try and keep pace, calling out the first bullshit hopefully-attention-grabbing phrase that comes to his mind.]
You got a moment to talk about our lord and savior the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
no subject
Okay, admittedly that stops him. Which is embarrassing considering how many times he has gotten away from police, but that has got to be the stupidest thing he's ever heard one of them try and he's torn between laughing and rolling his eyes.
Instead, he turns around with a concerned look, maybe a bit nervous too.]
I- Sorry, mister... I've actually got a PSAT prep class and I'm running late and- Maybe we can talk on my way back?
no subject
Don't worry, it'll only take a second. In fact, you might of even seen him already. Red spandex, white cape, likes to dump suspects on busy detectives but hates showing his work? If you could just fill me in a little on uh, where our flying savior miracled himself off to I'd be real grateful. I might even forget to uh, take down contact info for all my witnesses here so none of em have to be late for anything.
[Was Hank actually going to round up witnesses for this superhero shit when the crime his actual suspect - the guy tied up behind him there - committed didn't even happen here? Probably not. Does this kid need to know that? Definitely not. The implied threat of keeping a guy around long enough for the legal system to appreciate his contribution, Hank wants that, hopes that little hint of pressure, along with the carrot of being let off before he has to deal with it, might be enough to at least find out whether this kid actually knows anything or if he's just acting like he is because he doesn't like being around cops.]
no subject
[What would be nice is this not happing in the first place, but what can you do? As annoyed as he is, he's been doing this act for years so it's almost second nature to him.]
But if you're talking about Sh- ... I think this week it's Red Cyclone, but whatever. I think he went- [Billy points towards the sky] up, up, and away.
no subject
[Would they really? Hell, someone might try it. He wouldn't be surprised. The point is, the kind of answer Hank wants here is a lot more specific.]
How about how he went up up and away? Just tell me whatever you saw, if I figure out how to just talk to this guy it'd be a hell of a lot easier to arrest that asshole tied up back there. Anything you saw could help me put him away, even if it's just some stupid little detail.
no subject
[Which is a weird question to ask, but whoops. Billy pulls out his phone, and is a little surprised to see a text asking where he is. He's gonna be even later though if he doesn't sort this out.]
He's got YouTube and Instagram and a bunch of other stuff so I could comment and say, "hey there's an emergency here!" and see if he'll respond. I don't know how long it'll take him to get here, but... will you let me go to my class if I do that?
no subject
Still, Hank moves to try and see the phone screen, wanting some kind of proof that all this isn’t a joke - and, honestly, just kind of wanting to see a superhero’s instagram.]
Social media. [He mutters it as he moves, not quite sounding disgusted or anything but definitely not sounding impressed.] Why am I so surprised?
Yeah though, that’ll work. I’ll just need your name before you go, a phone number or something. [He sounds distracted when he says it, because he’s focusing mostly on his real thought-] What the hell? This guy has better PR than the actual cops do.
no subject
emergency!!
with the address of where they're standing.]
That should work? And uh, my name's Freddy Bromfield. My number's [a random string of numbers, but with the right area code.] Can I go now...?
i'm assuming billy does go here, if he would stay instead i can edit
In any case, this isn't an official thing. Also, fuck it. Hank gives a halfhearted shrug, waving the kid off.]
Yeah, thanks. I'll let you get back to your uh, studying, or whatever.
[And if the kid walks off Hank will just wait. He'll call someone to pick the suspect up, take him back to the station, start the paperwork to hold him for a while - super people tying a guy up and dropping them off qualifies as reasonable suspicion, sort of, unofficially, but that doesn't mean there's not paperwork.
And then Hank will wait here, trying to convince himself that getting to shove that paperwork off on someone else is worth the time he could ordinarily have spent this evening fucking off to a bar somewhere. When - well, if - Mr. Random Superhero Name himself shows up Hank will be leaning against a wall and typing on his phone, leaving a comment on the picture that calls the guy 'Red Cyclone'. You might as well call yourself Shark Week, he says, and then looks up and around, trying to decide how long he's going to wait before he calls it a day and gives up on the whole stupid idea. Even if the guy got here he probably wouldn't cooperate, anyway. Superheroes don't like doing footwork, gathering hard evidence; that tedious shit's for ordinary mortal peons like him.]
Whatever. [He pushes himself off the wall, having successfully worked himself up enough that he can just give up on this without thinking too hard about it.] This was fuckin stupid anyway.
no subject
[And with that, he's off. When he's out of view, he sneaks into a nearby alley and considers turning into Shazam right then and there to make this guy's life a little easier. But would it seem weird if he immediately showed up? How long does Batman take when he gets the Bat-Signal? Then again Batman doesn't have the Speed of Mercury so...
Hopefully this whole thing won't take too long...]
Shazam!
[He flies around a bit, making sure to come from a different direction than the one Billy headed off. Then he lands all dramatically right in front of Hank, the way he had seen Superman do in a video.]
Greetings officer.
no subject
[Hank stops and hooks his thumbs in his belt, his righteously annoyed exit stopped in its tracks by just the person he'd just convinced himself wasn't going to come.]
Is that really how people call you guys for help these days? By leaving comments on your shit? That'd probably be a little easier to keep on top of if you had a uh, hotline.
[You know. Like 911. No, it's fine, superheroes are cool, there's no resentment here.
Taking shots at the guy isn't the point, though. Hank will get to the point in a minute, as soon as he sizes up this guy, watches how he reacts to being lied to - or, well, misled - about the whole emergency thing.]
no subject
No, I was... I was already on my way here long before your comments! I could sense something was wrong, that you needed something from me.
[Technically, the wisdom of Solomon can do that on rare occasions. Not this particular occasion, though.]
Oh, and the newest one. That's my name. If you were wondering. [... he can't say his own name which makes so many things difficult.]
no subject
[Hank takes his phone back out and tries to figure out how to get back to looking at something he doesn't even have the app for, talking as he does it. It's convenient, having been sort of prompted to look at his phone like this, it lets him ask the question casually, like he's not really thinking about it.]
So that's how you know when stuff needs to get done? When laws've been broken and all that fun shit? You just sense it?
[It'd be a lot better for him if the answer's not yes. Because if it is yes... well, he doesn't know what the fuck that'll mean for working with the guy. It might mean he can't actually take in any suspect the guy catches for them, not legally. Or it might- hell, he doesn't know. He's trying not to make assumptions yet.]
no subject
[While he might be the Earth's Mightiest Mortal, he's still technically mortal. Also, he's still a kid.]
But what's the problem, officer? Did the bad guy get away and you need me to catch him for you again?
no subject
Nah, we figured out how to find our asses with both hands and a map just last week so uh, I think we can just about figure out how to get one tied up guy into a cell. What's gonna be a pain in the ass is keeping him there. This wisdom shit, what does it tell you exactly? Does it tell you what to look for or do you just pick up anyone your supernose tells you smells like a bad guy?
no subject
[Very basic superhero-ing. The sort of stuff he did the first day he got his powers. The someone in question thanked him and got away quickly, and look he didn't even ask for money as thanks this time! Well, that's partially because...]
I saved the bullets if you want 'em.
[Bullets that hit superheroes go for a lot on eBay.]
no subject
[He starts patting himself down, trying to figure out where, then holds his phone out toward the guy.]
Here, take this so I can look for it better. And uh, while you’re at it, could you open up the picture you were talking about? It’s going to take me a million years to figure out how to get back where I was so I can see what your name is.
[It would be nice to have his phone hand free. It would be nice, too, if this guy took the phone and happened to leave his prints on it. Getting any prints solid enough to actually use isn’t a certainty - in fact it’d be kind of lucky - but what the hell, worth a try.]
So, are you willing to testify about that, the whole robbery thing? Or did your wisdom tell you the victim’s name and phone number so we can get in touch with them?
no subject
As for testifying-]
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. [His wisdom did not tell him any of that.] Superheroes don't really... do that?
no subject
What, neither one? What do superheroes really do? What do you want us little guys to do without any stolen property, without a victim, without a witness- did you and the cops in this city make some kinda weird pact before I got here, you drop the criminals off and we wag our fingers at them real hard and hope they decide not to do it again?
[Hank looks away, sighs, shakes his head. He'd intended to be nicer about this. More polite, anyway. Create a good working relationship with this guy, since he's not going to be able to avoid him. Does he still want to do that? Does he want to walk that back, apologize?
Nah, he decides. Nah. No fucking way. He sucks at his teeth, making an unhappy face at the empty space next to him, then looks back to SHAZAM! and holds out one hand with the evidence bag, and holds out the other for his phone. He wonders, idly, if you're supposed to say that in all caps too. Other people might not say it that way, but he himself kind of wants to shout the guy's name. A little bit. For a second. Mostly what he wants is a quiet drink.]
no subject
[Shazam hands over his phone and takes the evidence bag, just sort of holding it with his very large hands for now.]
Do Batman and Superman testify about stuff? Cause that seems weird.
no subject
[For a second he just focuses on trying to hold onto the phone in places the guy - he's not used to Shazam yet, it still feels kind of dumb to think about him that way unironically - wasn't touching it, and trying to hold it that way instead of putting it back in his pocket.]
You're the one who could call em up on the Batphone and ask. How much contact do you even have with the cops, if no one's even asked you this shit before?
no subject
[He's probably had more contact with cops as Billy Batson than as Shazam. Speaking of Billy... He looks around, like a kid who's waiting for the final bell to ring.]
Is that all, officer? The bullets are back in my lair, so I'll drop them off later if that's cool.
(no subject)
