Walter was standing in the main street with his gun raised, his head held high and the man on the ground writhing in pain as Walter snarled "Get out of my fucking town!"

"CUT!" someone roared "Check the gate! Mark it, print!"

Walter strode over and reached out his hand, helping the other actor to his feet and they shared a grin as the final scene for the day was shot.

"Wally!"

Walter turned and saw Ton coming with his new family and patted his friend on the shoulder before starting for them, absently re-holstering his gun. "Tonny! You have the newbies?"

"Evan and Hazel, this is my brother Walter. Everyone calls him Walt now. Or Piney on set" Ton said proudly as Walter stopped walking and held out his hand.

"Pleased to meet you, welcome to our village." He smiled, Evan star-struck as he let his hand slip into the large black one of someone he considered a god. Walter saw this and stepped closer, throwing an arm around the man and giving him a cuddle "Great to have new family. I am glad you are here."

Walter then stepped back and turned to Hazel, leaning in to kiss her cheek "And Hazel. Did you meet old Hazel yet? She will love you, such a good talker that one."

"Yes, we came from there. You know … her garden needs new colour. I will tell Dad and we will get some fresh plants in at the weekend, a few of the other gardens need a spruce up too." Ton said as he looked around "Where's Carla?"

"Over there" Walter pointed and Ton made a meowing nose, a little girl turning from where she was talking to others and her little DS face lit up as she ran for him making meowing noises back.

Ton lifted her and turned to his new friends "his is Carla. She is in the show. Carla has DS. See? She is also an actor like me. I am in the show sometimes too. You know … We have a few DS in the crew too. George over there does the cables!"

"I'm a grip" George corrected, his hat on backwards and a piece of tape across his chest "I make sure they can't trip over stuff. Ruins a scene!"

Evan was now enthralled as George took him over to show him the little monitors that show the camera views and Ianto finally spoke "And what about you Hazel? A Wardrobe kinda gal?"

She sqweed as she got to see the large room full of clothes and the lovely people there who fussed on her like she was a star.

Boz wished he could bring all his people here.

Where they belonged. In a world of love and acceptance.

He wondered … was there room for his family here too?
