Synopsis:
Billy Batson decides to track down his uncle Dudley. He arrives at the bus terminal, but doesn't have the money for a ticket. Beautia Sivana has followed him and gives him the money. She also hints that her father may have been involved in the death of Billy's parents.

Billy makes it to Albuquerque and locates Dudley. He apologizes for not accepting Dudley's help earlier and reveals his new powers. The pair decide to return to San Francisco to confront Sivana.

On the trip home, they hear reports of a UFO. Billy investigates as Captain Marvel and discovers that the UFO is Black Adam who has been brought back to Earth by Sivana. The two clash in the skies, but Captain Marvel is forced to give up the fight when Black Adam threatens an airliner. He vows to continue the battle later.
