So.
For the first arc of this book that doesn't not exist, but really, really, should -- we would ideally NOT find our beloved protagonist summoning some awful nasty something or other by mistake or trickery.
What WOULD we like to see?
Perhaps we open on Billy leaning back on the sofa of his and Teddy's apartment, face-timing with Teddy (who is off-world with the Ultimates--as escorts-- learning more about his destiny as Space King with the Knights Infinite) discussing the mundane, non-super-hero things he's been up to whilst Teddy's been gone. EVERYONE is doing fun hero stuff but him.
He's caught up with Kate and her P.I. shenanigans on the coast, and also got the scoop that Cassie is now Stinger and working alongside her Dad -- how cute -- and Tommy is back from space because Noh Varr had some meeting with the Inhuman Royals and just as he name drops Eli -- we notice a figure coming into view just outside the window behind him and the glass shatters, launching shards into the apartment.
Billy spins round, eyes sizzling with electric blue energy, hands fanned he crosses his arms in an X formation, and the shards freeze in the air. His pointer fingers and thumbs connect and the shards form a glass sphere that he gently lowers onto the sofa to repair later.
His phone, glowing with blue energy along the edges levitates toward his face and Billy tells Teddy "Ted? Hang on a sec. There's a ....thing." to which asks "You want a hand? America's here so she could--"
"Nah. I got this."
The mysterious figure hovers into the room and lowers their hood, revealing a very not human face and begins to speak very insistently in a very not human language.
Billy raises an eyebrow, confused, "Alright, so, you're not human so maybe you don't KNOW, but breaking into people's homes? We frown on that."
Billy takes an offensive stance and raises his hands again, preparing to blast the intruder.
The intruder quickly presses a trigger on it's wrist activating a momentary high pitched alarm, and Billy clutches the sides of his head trying to block the sound. When the alarm stops, Billy shakes it off, "NOT cool, Mysterious Alien Intruder Guy!" and raises his hands again, blasting the intruder to the floor.
The intruder recoils, fearful, raising it's hands to shield itself.
Just then Two additional cloaked figures hover in through the broken window and rush to the intruder's side, assessing his condition. It turns out the alarm was a signal, rather than an attack.
Billy lets out a groan and floats into the air, as a ring of shimmery blue energy lowers around him from head to toe, revealing his Wiccan costume in all its glory.
"Three on ONE, now? We humans aren't really keen on being ganged up on either but that's a lesson I'm happy to teach--" he states while his hands charge up for another blast.
"DEMIURGE WAIT!!" cries one of the hooded figures with an outstretched hand.
Billy pauses, stunned.
Billy: "Um..Did you just say Demiurge??"
Teddy from in the cell phone: "Did he just say Demiurge?"
Cue the Credit page.
The remainder of the arc would involve Billy being sought for aid by an alien race of people, of whose dimension he and his friends passed through whilst traversing the multi-verse. Their world is dying-- having it's life force drained by an invading entity. At it's conclusion, it would be revealed to be the same world/dimension we saw in Gillen's run where Billy's face could be seen as a constellation and those adorable little green fuzzy dudes quasi-worshipped him, and this is the story of how/why Billy became their "savior".
