"Walter, I was the bully. Okay, I was a punk kid, okay? And the only thing that finally got me to stop was getting my ass kicked. So go in there and kick his ass." - Tim
Walter had reached a new level of angry. He didn't know who he wanted to go for first- Tim or Drew. He knew both had to pay. Drew wasn't going to have any chance of getting near Ralph now though- with what Walter had hacked into his record Drew was no longer even able to come within 100 metres of a school. He'd had Tim flagged on every list possible- he wanted him found and punished for what he'd done. Whether or not Scorpion was the one to find him was another thing altogether.
Walter thought back to his dreams and smiled as he imagined blasting Timothy into space. His dreams still felt so real- Walter wished it was. The thought of having Paige in his arms dancing with him and kissing him and forcing Tim into the depths of space with no spacesuit or oxygen gave him a great feeling of satisfaction.
As Walter brushed Paiges hair in preparation for her visitors he spoke softly to her "Ralph will be here soon. He's been working hard on his Art project for school. I know I say don't see the point in studying Art myself, but I know you'd enjoy his work. He's painted his own interpretation of a piece by Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin". It may have been Walter's imagination but he could've sworn he saw Paige smile. Maybe the Arts were worthwhile after all?
"I don't blame you Slyvester" Walter whispered after Cabe left with Ralph. Sly had been standing in the background. Not wanting to draw attention to himself in his guilt. Sly exhaled a breath he hadn't realised he was holding. He felt responsible for Drews new ammunition. The team had been worried that Drew had won the battle for Ralph that they'd been unaware he'd been fighting. "You couldn't have known. Don't worry I have it all under control. Ralph may not be my son, but I'll fight for him until I take my last breath." He said matter-of-factly "No one messes with our Cyclone" he finished menacingly. He kissed Paige's forehead and stroked her hand getting lost in thought. It took him a moment to realise Sly had spoken again "What was that?" He asked, needing the younger man to repeat himself. Sly cleared his throat before speaking again "It wasn't easy but I've just got the news we've found Tim. The team just needs to know your plan".
Walter kissed Paiges hand before letting go of it and turned round seriously to Slyvester "My plan is to make him suffer. Make him pay for what he's done" he snarled. Slyvester gulped and nodded. He had suspected as much.
A/N More coming soon :) I'll be back to writing this evening. Let me know know what you think.
