Honestly...I don't even know. I think I just have baby fever and wanted to write the Justice League being obsessed with a baby. But then I also wanted to write the justice league being obsessed with Wally because I love Wally. So then I thought...
This first chapter (honestly have no clue if there will be more) has the teeeeeny tiniest hint of batflash in it because my shipping ass couldn't physically write anything without putting my OTP in there. IF there is more in the future, ****IT WILL BE WHEN WALLY IS NORMAL AGE AGAIN.**** and seeing how this story is about him being a kid, it likley wont be a lot.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this shameless baby flash story. I literally pulled the method of his babifying/deaging straight out of my ass so sorry if it makes absolutly no sense hahaha.
"Flash, return to the monitor room immediately!" Diana's urgent voice rang throughout the watchtower via the PA system. The two had been on monitor duty together when she'd mentioned getting tired, so Wally had gone to get her an iced mocha, as well as a snack for himself. Less than a second after the announcement, a red blur appeared and came to a halt next to her, his eyes wide.
"What's the matter, Wondy?! You alright? Ah, shoot. I left your drink in the caf-"
"That's not important now. Look at this, " She began, pointing at one of the monitors near the center. Flash stepped up to take a closer look. On the screen was a crater that appeared to be smoking. Luckily, nobody was around to get hurt by whatever it was that had created it.
"So..I take it that wasn't there before?" He joked, earning a stern look in return. "Okay, okay. Let's go check it out then!" He turned and was about to take off towards the javelin bay when a strong hand gripped his shoulder.
"Wait, shouldn't we contact the others first? We have no idea what we are dealing with here." Wally turned around and, using a touch of super speed, appeared at her side. He threw an arm over her shoulder, leaning into her slightly.
"Relax, Princess. We'll just go take a quick look. J'onn's up here somewhere, he can take over the monitors while we're gone. If it looks like we can't handle it, then we'll call Supes and the others. Sound good?"
"But-"
"I'll keep watch from here, Diana." a voice interrupted. The two looked towards the voice to find J'onn phasing through the wall into the room. Diana sighed, but nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
The javelin touched down in the middle of a grassy plain somewhere in Colorado. Beside the tall grass, it was empty except for a few trees. Before Diana was even out of her seat, her copilot was already out of the ship and approaching the crater. Through the windshield, she saw the blur come to stop a few feet away.
"Flash, wait for me." She reminded him through the comms. He turned and looked towards the ship again, frowning, but decided against protesting.
"...Alright." he replied, but turned back towards the crater. It was only about five meters wide, but they were only truly interested in the object in the middle that had created it. By this point, the smoke had cleared and now a bright blue glow was emitted from the center of the hole. As soon as Diana landed next to him, they both carefully approached. She leaned over the edge, while Wally took initiative and hopped down into it. It wasn't too deep at the edges but got a little deeper as they moved closer towards the center. At the center, they found a glowing blue orb of some sort. It was perfectly spherical, only a few shades darker than the blue of the sky on a nice day. Right now, it stood out in the darkness of the night, practically impossible to miss.
"What do you think it is?" Wally asked, rubbing his fists over the lenses over his cowl to try to clear up his vision for a better look. Diana frowned, her brow furrowing.
"I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything like it before."
"I wonder where it came from.." The young man said as he took a few cautious steps forward, now only foot or two away. Diana, never one to be shy, approached as well. She was a few feet behind Wally when a beam of similarly colored light sprung from the orb. It was fast, but still dodgeable for the fastest man alive. He made to move out of the way, but remembered Diana was right behind him. With the beam moving at the speed of light, he came to the conclusion that he wasn't sure if he could get her out the way in time. So, in order to keep her safe, he decided to stay put. It was a good thing he came to this conclusion, because by the time the decision was made, his window to get out of the way had closed and the beam slammed into him. The light enveloped him and for a moment, he didn't feel anything. Then a searing pain overtook his entire body, forcing himl to his knees. A strangled scream forced its way out before he snapped his jaw shut. He heard a feminine voice shouting what he thought was his name, but it was hard to make out. He grit his teeth together, his hands came up to his head defensively although it did nothing. He felt as though he was being torn apart. That's the only way he could describe it. He saw memories of his life flashing through his head.
'Awh, shit. Isn't that what people say happens before you die? Am I gonna die?' he thought, and that was his last thought before the light around him glowed brighter for just a second, and then expanded. The force of the mini-explosion threw Wonder Women back, her body flying through the hair until her back collided with the wall of the crater. She sat up quickly and from a distance saw Flash's uniform lying on the ground. Her friend, however, was nowhere to be seen. Her eyes widened in horror.
"Flash!"
ooOOooOOooOOoo
"J'onn! What's going on?! He just van-" Diana cut herself off as she heard a noise. She shushed J'onn when he tried to respond. The sound was coming from the discarded uniform lying on the ground where her friend had stood moments before. It was a high pitched and appeared to be muffled. At first glance in the dark, she'd thought the uniform was empty. As she approached the garment, she noticed there was a lump underneath it. Even more, the lump appeared to be moving. Quickly, she cross the distance and knelt down next to it, observing for a moment before cautiously lifting the edge of the uniform. She leaned down and took a peek inside and she immediately dropped it, eye wide in disbelief.
"Diana?" J'onn's voice sounded. He must have still been watching the monitor.
Taking a deep breathe, she lifted the uniform again, this time pulling it all the way off. She stared for a moment before letting out a huge breathe.
"Hera..." She whispered. Turns out, the "lump" was a baby. An actual baby. Where on earth did a baby come from? He'd noticed her as well, his eyes locking on hers and he smiled, releasing an undeniably cute cooing sound.
Then it hit her. The bright sparkling green eyes. The pale skin. The wisps of ginger hair.
"Wally?!"
ooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
"J'onn...contact the others. I'll be up with...Flash soon" Diana said, carefully wrapping the infant in the oversized spandex uniform. It was a cold night, and she needed to get him someplace warm quickly. She held the bundle close to her body, flying back to the javelin. Now she just needed to fly a jet while holding a baby. Why didn't Bruce think to put a car-seat in here?!
ooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
After landing safely in the javelin bay, Diana quickly made her way back to the monitor room, precious cargo held safely in her arms. When she got there, she found that Superman and Green Lantern had already arrived and were waiting for her with J'onn. Both of their eyes widened when they noticed what was in Diana's arms.
"Is that-?" Clark started, unable to believe his eyes.
"What on earth is a baby doing up here?!" John shouted. Diana instinctively held the child tighter, pulling him away from John just a fraction. Why her instincts told her to do this, she may never know, seeing as she wasn't a mother. At her glare, John immediately calmed down.
"This is no place for children. The Watchtower is not a daycare." John said, approaching her carefully. The Amazon visibly relaxed, pulling the child away from her chest. She kept the bundle cradled in her arms, but allowed the others to see.
"Where else could I take him? He cannot protect himself in this state. As his teammates and family, is it not our duty to protect and care for him?" Diana questioned. The new arrival's eyes widened almost comically this time.
"Teammate?" Clark questioned. They finally got a good look at the squirming child. They took note of the green eyes, as well as what the baby was wrapped in.
"You mean..that's.." John trailed off, hoping Diana would deny what he was thinking.
"Wally." A deep voiced answered for her. They all turned to see Batman had joined them. He'd been able to come to the conclusion far quicker than the others - perks of being the World's Greatest Detective.
The four others looked and acknowledged his arrival before turning back to the child. John came around and carefully pulled the fabric away from the child's head, revealing the thin red hair. A tiny hand reached out and wrapped itself around one of his fingers. A soft high pitched happy noise came from the blanket, followed by some noises that could only be described as "babbling" as he pulled the finger back and forth. John obviously allowing the child to move his hand however he wanted. And just like that, the "no nonsense ex marine" of the Justice League cracked a smile. Although, with adult Wally being one of his best friends, his tough exterior shell had been cracked through a few dozen times already.
"Any idea how long he is going to be like this?" Clark spoke up, momentarily distracted by the cuteness that was baby Flash. Diana shook her head. J'onn replayed the footage from the monitors, showing the others exactly what they'd seen.
"I'll go take some samples and see what I can find. I have some tech that will allow me to do so without getting too close. In the meantime...you're going to need some supplies." Bruce said, pulling out a sleek black credit card and handing it to John's unoccupied hand.
"Whoever goes shopping, do so out of uniform. The last thing we need is this getting out to the public. Or God, forbid, a pregnancy-within-the-league rumor." He turned to face Clark, "Lois doesn't hear a word of this." The Man of Steel nodded in agreement. With a final look at the tiny human that was once is twenty-six year old teammate, friend, and sometimes more, Bruce headed planet-side.
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
Clark Kent, donned in blue jeans, a white t-shirt, a red flannel overshirt, and his glasses, was intimidated. Not by someone bigger or stronger than him, but by the store he was about to enter. Taking a deep breathe, he walked through the automatic doors of the Babies R' Us as casually as he possibly could. Grabbing a cart, he pulled out the list the others had helped him make before he left. Looking it over, he thanked the heavens that they had a billionaire on the team, because the amount of stuff they were going to need was ridiculous. Maybe they could have Wally take it with him to the orphanage when he was, you know, an adult again.
He made his way through the aisles, throwing what they were going to need into the cart. He was probably going to need another cart. He'd wanted to bring Diana along with him, but she was more likely to be recognized since she lacked a secret identity even though they had picked a store in a lightly populated area somewhere in New Mexico. It may have something to do with her reluctance to put Wally down just yet. Although it had only been a few hours, something about this was bringing out a motherly quality in her that the others had not seen before. Wally, however, had refused to release John's finger from his surprisingly strong grip. John had tried once and as soon as the tiny redhead had noticed it was gone, his little bottom lip stuck out and while it was kind of adorable, he'd just about started crying when Hawkgirl (who'd showed up during the list-creating-phase) had grabbed John's finger and put it back in Wally's little hand. He'd immediately calmed down and smiled. When the finger was pulled into his mouth, they'd been reminded to add a pacifier to the list.
Diapers? Check. Formula? Check. Clothes/Onesies? Check. Toys? Check. Crib? Bottles? Baby Soap/Shampoo? Bassinet? Playard? Check. Clark crossed the final item off the list and headed for for the checkout.
ooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
Hours later, Bruce walked through the doors of the conference room. All six of his teammates were already there, though two seats were empty. He scanned the room, finally finding the tiny redhead, now dressed in a white and blue striped onesie, cradled in one of Hawkgirl's arm. Her other hand held up a bottle, as this emergency meeting had apparently coincided with the infants feeding time. Wally's little hands were resting on the bottle as well, pretending to help. All eyes in the room were watching, almost with amazement. None of them had really cared for a baby before, so this was new territory for them all. Watching the two was a heartwarming scene. If they didn't know better, they all would've believed Shayera was the child's mother. Bruce cleared his throat and five heads turned towards him. Wally just continued with his meal, oblivious to anything else. At least some things don't change with age.
"I ran some tests on the samples I collected; nothing conclusive. I spoke with a friend who specializes in magic, she had a few ideas," Bruce began, taking his seat at the table.
"Wait a second, we saw the video. It was some kind of orb from space that did this." John argued.
"Yes. Apparently it contained a spell. In this case, one made to force someone to relive their childhood again. The spell was cast, but laid dormant until it found a... for lack of a better term, host. It could've been cast hundreds of years ago or last week. We have no way of knowing." The team took a few moments, letting this new information sink in. It didn't make complete logical sense, but then again, magic doesn't always need to.
"So now what? Is Flash going to be a child forever? Or does he have to grow up all over again?" Hawkgirl aired what was on every leaguer's mind. Worried looks crossed the faces of Clark, Diana, and John as they exchanged glances. Will it be 26 years until their friend is back to how he was that morning?
"After viewing the samples and video, Zatanna was confident the type of spell cast will simply run its course and then lift itself. He should be good as new within two weeks."
They all sighed in relief. Hawkgirl pulled the now empty bottle away from Wally, setting it down on the table. For a moment, they thought the infant was going to get fussy. But he stayed quiet for the moment, seemingly in deep thought. Focusing on something very important.
"Here, let me take him." Clark said, standing from his seat. Shayera just held him closer.
"Give me a few more minutes... we're bonding." She said, smiling down at the kid while she tapped his tiny nose with a gentle finger. Never in a million years did the rest of the team ever think they'd hear Hawkgirl talking all...cutsie. It was almost nauseating...but also adorable. Little Wally sure seemed to enjoy it, seeing as he was now smiling wide, showing off his lack of teeth. The others were discussing who was going to watch over Central City while Flash was out of commision when suddenly her exaggerated smile dropped. She looked around, taking note that no one seemed to notice. Perfect. She stood up quickly, handing the child to over to the Man of Steel.
"On second thought, he's all yours." She said, smiling innocently before making a beeline towards the door. That's when the others caught of whiff of what Shayera had.
And it was a few moments later that The Justice League, a group of beings capable of defeating entire armies, realized that they had no idea how to change a baby's diaper. The only one who may have a had a clue would've been Wally, seeing as he volunteered his free time at the orphanage so often. They all (except Batman) exchanged slightly panicked glances while Clark held the baby at arm's length.
"I'll call in reinforcements." Bruce said, stepping out of the room.
if you actually want more of this feel free to let me know and i'll see what I can do ahaha
