[h3]Episode 2: Mad World - CONCLUSION[/h3]

The plan was simple, at least Gypsy though it was. It made effective use of everyone's skills and hopefully achieved the intended goal. Shazam's question not withholding the man's plan was basically to use Gypsy's powers to distract the psychic villain, the way he asked was odd but it made sense; his comment on whether or not he disappeared was just a nice segue into his plan.  

A short discussion later the plan was being set up in action. Gypsy was off hiding on the roof making sure that Brainwave didn't see her. Once well hidden she did her part. Mustering all the power she could she made floating versions of the Captain and a small number of Toon Girls bouncing around. The psychic would no doubt easily tell these things were illusions, but as they were magic based and not psychic illusions, but purely visual it was enough to get him distracted to get subdued by Toon Girl.

Enacting on her plan, thanks to Gypsy's illusions, Toon Girl did the same thing she did last time, giving Brainwave a big ol' hug by appearing behind him with her portable hole. But this time she got him in a much more aggressive hug, holding onto him much tighter than before. It probably wasn't the most comfortable thing for him.

It was time to finish this. With the constructs destroyed, and Brainwave momentarily distracted, Shazam figured he would go in for the kill. Down both arms sparked Zeus' magic lightning, and in his eyes swelled the lust of battle; he streamed forward, a blitzkrieg assault. He bared no caution in his approach, and was flying fast enough to blast through any solid constructs which sought to deter his advance. Once he got close enough, he went in for the KO.

With one powerful swing accompanied by some shock treatment, Shazam blasted Brainwave with a hefty hook and enough force to knock him out with little resistance. Moments later the Green Lantern came to his senses and whatever constructs he was forming dissipated into the air. He touched down on the street where the civilians came to their senses as well. Approaching the heroes, the Lantern commented...

"It looks like Judgement bowed out. Some people aren't ready to join the big leagues. You three did good work. I was wondering when you'd go from defense to offense. After Brainwave wakes up from that one hitter quitter, I'd like to ask him some questions.... like what reason he had to attack Midway..?" Alan said to Gypsy, Toon Girl, and the hooded Capt. Marvel.

"Should we go back for Brainwave?" asked Doctor Polaris, his odd shaped helmet and metal armaments reflecting the flashing emergency lights of the building.

"I can teleport in and get him out of anywhere. Luthor wants to test his loyalty." Warp said picking up a metal relic from the Egyptian exhibit. 

"The first and second rule of the Society is you don't talk about the Society..." said the Scarecrow as he watched two security guards cower in fear.
