Emilia Harcourt and John Economos (two of Amanda Wallers’ agents) are sent out to find Billy/Shazam. They find him at an abandoned gas station deep in the woods, shooting bottles and cans with lightning bolts. The two agents extend an offer to Shazam to join the Justice Society, but Shazam eagerly agrees after hearing the word “Justice” thinking it was the Justice League (which he wants to join so he can be near Wonder Woman). After finding out that he joined the wrong group, he suggests alternate names to avoid confusion. He suggests a few, ending with The Avengers Society.

Dr. Sivana is sitting in his jail cell, when he hears Mister Mind (a caterpillar, just like after the first movie). Sivana complains about having to wait two years to hear from Mister Mind, and eagerly waits to hear how he’s going to get out of prison. Mister Mind starts to talk, and then says he has to do one more thing… and slithers out of the jail cell, leaving a frustrated Sivana fuming.
