A/N: I'm making myself depressed with all my serious stories. So here's a bit of comedy and cuteness. This is also a bit AU. Wally in this story is 7 years old and was born with his powers. Barry adopted him recently and is a single parent also Wally already knows Barry is the Flash. That's it. Enjoy.

O1: INTRODUCTION

To say Barry Allen was tired was probably an understatement. A big one.

His job at the Central City police department had him working double shifts for 4 days straight now. Not to mention his other activities. He managed to juggle it pretty well but it really took a toll on him. Now today being Thursday meant it was his day off from the lab! He already planned the today too. Sleeping in till 11am, going to IHop then watching a marathon of those Harry Potter movies. Autumn really made him lazy to be honest. The weather was great just to stay underneath the covers with warm clothing and tea. Just perfect. That's how his Thursdays usually started. Unless...

Superman calls you in for work.

It took a lot not to just hang up on Clark but he had such a persuasive tone that Barry couldn't get mad at. The world was perfectly fine. No invasions, bomb threats or missing hero's today. What could be the problem?

Barry was transported to the WatchTower, already in his costume and with his shoulders dropped. Gosh, he wanted to just fall asleep right now.

"Alright, I'm here" Barry announced trying not to yawn but failed, "What's the problem?"

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern...

Uh...What was going on?

Everyone was silent for a while as they watched Barry as if-

"Oh god! You guys is this another intervention?" Barry asked.

"No" Batman spoke in his die heart serious tone. Just then Superman turned to face Barry with something bundled in his arms. Whatever it was it was wrapped in a fluffy white blanket that had cute little clouds with smiley faces on them.

Barry pointed to the mysterious bundle, "What's that?" he asked.

Wonder Woman answered, "Barry, we know we ask a lot from you-"

"It's a speedster" Hal bluntly stated. Everyone glared at the Green Lantern making him put his hands up in defense, "What?".

Barry felt wide awake now with his curiosity heighten. He appeared in front of Superman in a second and stared at the bundled with wide eyes. He looked at Superman his eyes demanding he see what was inside. The Man of Steel complied silently and gently uncovered the blankets to revel a small baby. The baby looked to be a few months maybe even more. The baby was clothed in a bright blue onesie which made Barry believe the baby to be a boy. He had little hair but it was an adorable shade of red. The baby was sleeping comfortably in Superman's arms.

Everyone had their eyes on either Barry or the tiny baby.

Barry finally snapped from his trance but his eyes were still on the boy, "How do you know?" he asked.

"A few things gave it away.." Wonder Woman said with a large smile, "Apparently, the child does not like Batman all too well. He almost phased through his arms cause he was crying so loud"

"I've done an examination to ensure of its health and I made the discovery of its abnormal immune and metabolism much similar to yours" Batman explained.

"B-but where did you find him?" Barry asked.

"I found him" Hal stepped forward this time to get closer to look at the baby, "In Central City just this morning around 4 in the morning"

Barry took his eyes away from the boy, "What are we..going to do with him?" he dared ask.

"His chances of survival are very slim, Barry" Batman replied, "When you got your powers you were extremely unstable and the changes to your body were drastic to say the least. Imagine what it could do to a infant. He could starve to die without us knowing or perhaps fade from existence"

"What does this mean then?" Barry snapped, "You're just going to let him die?"

"It could be the humane thing to do" Batman said solemnly

"I can't believe you would say that or suggest that" Barry angrily retorted back.

"Listen, we will try everything in our power to help him" Superman cut in but not loud enough to startle the infant. His words were reassuring but Barry was worried that the kid might not even make it. He never thought of the possibility or even having another speedster, a baby even. However, something inside him grew as he stared at the helpless child. Protection.

"I'll take care of him" Barry firmly declared.

"You?" Hal smirked a little in disbelieve.

"Well..he's a speedster and I-I think he should be my responsibility"

"I do not doubt your ability to prove care for this child, Barry, but I think he should remain here till we know for sure he will survive" Wonder Woman said.

"Fine" the speedster agreed, "I'll stay here too. No matter how long it takes I'll be here" with that he removed his cowl and tenderly took the child from Superman. Everyone watched as Barry held the infant with such care and caution. He cradled the baby moving slowly in a rocking motion to sooth the still slumbering child.

"What a sight" Hal said, "Didn't think I would see 'Daddy Barry' so soon"

"Me neither..uh..he should have a name right?"

"That's how it usually goes" Hal joked lightly, "How about Richard?"

"What? No..then people will call him... 'Dick'" Barry whispered making Hal chuckle like a 5 year old.

"Okay okay, what about Dillon?" he suggested again.

"You're really bad at names" Barry replied, "I dunno I kinda like Wallace"

"You're joking right?"

Barry looked down at the child feeling his heart swell. Wallace was a nice name, he liked it.

"Then I can call him Wally! That's so cute!"

"Whatever man" Hal shock his head, "It doesn't sound like a chick magnet name but then neither is 'Bartholomew'"

"Don't you have a bar to drink?"

..INTRODUCTION..

Everyone got use to calling the baby Wally fairly quickly. They thought it was cute, minus Hal.

Batman had made a special sterilized chamber, a neonatal care unit to monitor his progress. If Wally even sniffled the Bat would know about it. Once Wally was actually inside the chamber Barry saw how little and fragile the infant really was. It made him sad and curious about his origin. Who were his parents? Did he even have any? What were his chances of survival? Barry wasn't born with his abilities it was an accident and from what he had experienced he couldn't help but feel scared for the child.

Wally was covered in wires most were IV's for fluids to keep him alive and well and others were just for monitoring his heart and lungs. It was only a few hours since Wally's arrival at the WatchTower and he was doing great. Barry was optimistic. He began thinking about taking Wally home with him, feeding him and playing with him. He imagined his living room being a cluster of mess with toys and bottles. The more he thought about it the more he wondered if he was actually ready to take full responsibility for Wally. He was still young himself and he was alone. He didn't have any family to go to for help but he did have the JLA for support. That should have made him worry free but it didn't. He couldn't rely on Batman to tell him what was wrong with Wally. No. He would have to learn everything on his own like every other parent. This was going to be a difficult challenge.

Barry woke up in a painful position. His head was resting back without support and as soon as he lifted himself he winced in pain. How he managed to sleep in a chair was beyond him then again he should have been use to it. There were no beds in his lab after all. Barry rubbed the back of his neck trying to sooth the knot. He turned his head to the side to test the tenderness when suddenly he spotted movement in the chamber.

It was Wally. His feet kicking at the blanket by his feet as if he no longer wanted the cover. His hands were in fists and looked like he was punching the air. He rubbed his fist into his face and across his nose. It made Barry laugh from the cuteness. Suddenly, Wally swiped his fist again across his nose and scratched himself making him burst into tears. He didn't draw blood but there was a red mark from where the nail traveled across.

"Ohhh no, poor thing" Barry reached inside the chamber to grab Wally. He was extra careful from disturbing the wires as he lifted him from his bed. Wally continued to wail loudly from the pain but once Barry held him to his chest he seemed to calm down. Wally made small whimpering noises and whines as Barry rocked side to side trying to reassure the infant that he was okay.

"I'll get you some mittens so that doesn't happen again, how does that sound?" Barry asked Wally with a smile. Wally made a small moan and put two of his fingers into his mouth for an answer. The scratch had already healed and soon Wally forgotten about it. The infant was now interested in Barry.

Wally's eyes were the brightest green Barry ever saw. The child moaned and made those adorable baby noises that made Barry melt. He was surprised to see Wally so calm. Normally, he thought, babies would be fussy and crying most of time but Wally was just relaxed.

Barry smiled down at the infant, "I'll take good care of you, Wally, I promise you".

Wally yawned softly before closing his eyes knowing he was in a safe embrace of his now and forever guardian.
