All movement in the room stopped and all eys turned to the kid. Wally knew everyone was still looking at him, but at the moment he was still focused on getting out of Len's grip.

"Sam, Mick, Digger come over here and meet the new kid"

The men at the table stood and walked over to the duo. The teens on the couch didn't need to be told what to do. They were curious to see who their new baby brother was. Almost all of them scrunched their noses. The man with brown eys and hair waved his hand infront of his face.

"Len the kid reeks"

"Gee thanks you know every homeless kid gets a chance to smell their best."

"Kid watch your mouth. Yes Sam I know he stinks"

"Bloody needs a bath is what"

"Shove off captain kola"

"Kid what did I say about the mouth? And yes Digger I know"

"Well then what are we waiting for? We'll show the kid around after he doesn't smell like a sewage line."

"I agree. James we're going to need to use a pair of your sleep pants and a t-shirt. Hartley can you set up a bed for the youngster on the couch."

The other teens, appearently named James (younger) and Hartley (older) nodded at Len and set off to do as they were told. Wally, who had gotten free from Len's grip and was now on the floor, looked up at the four men. He knew what they were getting at. He shhok his head and backed away slowly. The men somehow saw this coming and followed him, some how trapping him near a corner.

"Haha no way! It's bad enough that I'm stuck here but you are not making me get a bath!"

They chuckled and shook their heads. And that was how Wally found himself being carried with one man at either arm or leg. He squirmed the whole time. They finally got him to the bathroom (which he would admit to being bigger than he expected) they set about taking his close off. They had his pants and underwear off when they reached a problem with the shirt. Wally had his arms wrapped around himself as tight as he could. Sam and Digger ended up having to pry his arms apart and above his head inorder for Len to get his shirt off.

With that problem out of the way they were immediantly faced with another. They had to get the kid in the tub itself. And Wally wasn't making it easy on them. He had latched his feet and hands in the four corners of the tub. When they got one hand free the other moved back to keep him up. They were this far and now they were at a dead end.

Until Mick had enough, "Ok you know what? Get. In. The. Tub!"

He picked Wally up around the waist and dunked him in the tub, not caring he was getting his sleeves wet. Atleast the kid was in the water. Wally poked his head up sputtering while wiping the water out og his eyes. He immediantly tried to get out but Mick had a good grip on him. With Mick holding him down Len, Sam, and Digger went about washing him. Len washed his hair while Sam and Digger went about washing him else where. After all the struggeling Wally seemed to calm down adn let the men do as they wanted. Mick had let go of him seeing as he wasn't trying to get up anymore. He folded his arms on the side of the tub and looked down at the tirering ten year old. Wally woudn't ever admit it, but he actually felt more safe than he had in a long time. He looked up at MIck and saw the man smiling down at him. He smiled shyly and looked away. Soon following Micks example Sam and Digger were doing the same, as Len continued to wash his now reddening hair. It was almost as red as Hartley's.

"So I always thought you guys were bad and killed anyone who got in your way"

All four men chuckled. Mick reached over and patted his cheek affectionantly.

"Nope. Huge rule against killing and harming kids and women. We are soo stereotyped. Why do we scare ya?"

He managed to get a soft giggle out of the kid and they all smiled at it. By the time Len finished and rinsed Wally's hair the kid was in a half conscious state. Digger let the water out and Len helped the kid out of the tub. After getting him dressed in the clothes James had dropped off awhile ago Len knealed and brushed Wally's hair out of his eyes. Wally smiled, yawned and wrapped his arms around Lens neck laying his head on his shoulder. Len smiled and sttod up wrapping his arms around the kid. Sam opened the door and they walked out as a group. When they got to the living area they all said good night and went their own ways. Wally however wouldn't let go of Lens neck, so the man layed down with the kid on his chest. The kid was fast asleep already and he was so adorable the way he slept.

"He's cute I'll give him that"

"That he is Harts that he is"


So can you tell Im trying to give Wally and Len that father/son thing? I hope you liked it! I'm thinking about either having wally already have super speed and being able to hide it really well or he gets struck by lightning and gets it when out with his new brothers... Let me know what you think!
