Curtis was looking at his hand with annoyance as Owen explained that it needed time to heal.

"And a wheelchair? Seriously?"

"Just until you are to the car ya divvy" Walter scolded, his delight in getting Curtis home making everyone around him smile "It's protocol. Can't fall and break a hip you poor old thing."

Curtis laughed as Walter had hoped, accepting help into the chair and then sighing as Owen did a big show of patting a blanket about his legs. It was when he produced the hot water bottle that Curtis realised he was taking the piss and started to laugh again.

"Come on love. I miss you" Walter said softly, letting his hand rest on Curtis' shoulder for a moment, squeezing gently as he thanked the gods for not being greedy. For letting him keep his love. "Maisey is working on the banner with Ton. Gods knows what it will say. Imp is writing a special song and I again worry about what might be waiting for us."

"Gracie?"

"Grace and LB are deep in the state of Fairydom. Apparently Fen has made a little fairy garden and is letting the girls all paint concrete mushrooms for along the path" Walter smiled as he started to push the wheelchair.

"Maisey will not like that" Curtis said softly "She would want to know where the dragon is."

Walter stopped pushing the chair. "You know … she DID ask that!"

"She thinks cats eat fairies too, she might ask about a fence or something to protect them" Curtis added happily then he frowned "What were we talking about again?"

Walter glanced at Owen who shook his head in response. He had warned him that short term memory might need time to reset. It was worrying but Walter remembered his Tad's brain damage after the attack at the school and held tight to the fact that given time … the brain can heal itself.

He also knew that Babs was working behind the scenes to try and solve who was responsible for this. They now knew it was not an accident, it was meant for Walter and it was not going to be easy to prove.

He also knew she would ferret the truth out.

And Tad would deal with it one way or another as he was probably one step ahead in the first place but letting Babs have some control so she might feel the satisfaction of her first ….er….command.

Poor bastard was gonna find out the hard way that you mess with the tail … you get the tiger.
