Golden Thunder paused because for the first time in a very long time, someone had connected to him at a deep level, "Shazam!" A blast of lightning that could be seen very far away fell from the sky and struck him, in a matter of seconds a young kid about 17 stood there staring at the winged mutant.

The boy spoke, his voice shaking lightly. "Two years ago I lost the love of my life to a bunch of thugs...I got to brave as a hero, some pretty bad men found out my identity and snuck in to my apartment, taped my mouth shut and tied Mary and I down, they tortured her...and I couldn't anything as they slaughtered my lover right in front of my eyes. The worst part is there was a Hero right outside...she was to busy stopping a building fire to save my girlfriend and I, but she sure as hell saw us, I have never been the same...but...you speak the truth...if these villains really do have something deplorable planned you have the support of Golden Thunder."

Jason whispered, "Shazam!" The lightning fell from the sky and struck Jason, and in a matter of seconds he was Golden Thunder, "My friend's call me Jason...it would be nice to have a few of those again." Jason extended his hand and tried to smile, "I think I'm done blaming people...I'll forge my own path."
