Shortly after defeating Ibac and Sabbac, Billy was watching the news at home. When he noticed all adults had disappeared, he scoured the streets of Fawcett City, and found many children helpless. He couldn't help, as he made his way to his Zeta-Tube. It didn't recognize him. While looking for another solution, he saw the Team's speech on television, and realized he had to get to Happy Harbor. At the local airport, he persuaded Amber Joyce to fly him there.[2]
Mary Bromfield went back Fawcett City after falling out with Zatanna and the Sentinels of Magic. Upset and alone, she wept in an alleyway, hurt by the seeming betrayal from her friends. All the while, a voice from without consoled her, mending the girl's bruised ego by telling her that the others were envious of her powers. Mary, vulnerable and adrift, acquiesced when the voice goaded her into breaking her promise to say the magic word and become Sergeant Marvel once again.[3]
Fawcett City is named after Wilford H. Fawcett, the founder of Fawcett Publications and original publisher of Captain Marvel/Billy Batson's character. For years, Marvel's exact hometown was subject to speculation and loosely fluctuated, at a time having been New York City and then San Francisco at another.
