AN:Here's a christmas treat that will be about three parts long, maybe four, hope you enjoy the festive goodness in this little spin-off! (I don't know if this will ever at any point be cannon to the main story or not)


Pint Sized Pied Piper:

Christmas Special part 1

Hartley happily placed the Angle on the top of the christmas tree that the Flash Rogues and others were decoration. Len was currently holding the boy so he could reach to place the Angle there. Lisa watching happily from the side line along with Rescue, who along with Lisa no longer wanted him to be changed back to his normal age.

Not because he didn't normally like Piper, it was because he believed along with Lisa that they could probably do a better job than Hartley's real patents.

James was dancing around the hideout from room to room, belting out deck the halls with bells and holly at the top of his voice leaving mistletoe and other such decorations in his path. Not in the most nearest order either as the holly branches currently leaving a trail to where he was showed.

Mark was currently out making a snow storm. Mick sat next to the fire with a cup of hot chocolate content with the warmth he was receiving. Sam stood trying in vain to remove all the tinsel from the mirror he uses to travel to a from in the base as he had nearly swallowed the damn stuff when he traveled there today. James had thought it funny to use some form of extremely strong glue.

Digger grumbled about the gordy coloured tree and decorations, he was sat in a armchair with a black 'scrooge' christmas hat on. He had a can of beer in one hand and a teddie Hartley had given to him to hold in the other.

Hartley was placed down and Len went back to trying to remove the pink tinsel James had slung around the tree. Hartley wobbled over to Digger holding out his hands, wanting to be picked up. Digger did so still grumbling.

Hartley happily sat watching the chaos. Digger downed the rest of his beer, hopping it would dull the colours of the tree. Hartley sucked his thumb as he buried himself deeper in between Digger and the arm of the chair.

Earlier Hartley had helped Lisa and Roscoe bake cookies for Santa and the rogues had taken Hartley to meet Santa at a christmas factory thing. Well, James had also wanted to see Santa acting more like a kid than Hartley until Digger dragged James away from the toys by his ear and scolded him as this day was about Hartley, not him.

The Santa was great with Hartley as he knew sign language, or at least enough to communicate with Hartley while he was there.

Hartley was so happy, getting a new toy from Santa, then Hartley dragged Digger to the reindeer stables to pet the new baby reindeer. Len had not missed the opportunity to take a picture of Digger hugging a baby reindeer. Mainly because Digger in the Photo looked content. After they left Digger nearly attacked Len as he wouldn't delete it.

In the main room of the base there was a tree and a plate of cookies and carrots with a glass of milk for Santa when he came. Stocking lined the fake fireplace and it was decorations galore throughout the entire place.

Lisa and Roscoe were trying to see how many ball balls the could attach to Len without him knowing. They got to ten before he caught on.

"Oy, Hartley's nearly asleep over here." Digger kicked Roscoe in his calf to gain his attention without having to raise his voice over the christmas music.

Lisa quickly came over and scooped up the young child up into her arms. She smiles at the boy who looks at her eyes drooping with the need for sleep. "It's been a big day for him." She cooes. "Time for bed. Say goodnight."

Hartley sleepily signed what should have been goodnight, but was hard to distinguish one movement from the next.

"Night!" Is the chorus of voices that follow Lisa and Hartley up the stairs.

Once in Lisa and Roscoe's room, where they had set Hartley's bed. Lisa kissed Hartley goodnight as she laid him down. She left the room with Hartley's night light on.

As soon as she got back down Len and the others were placing the presents under the tree. Mark has just arrived back from covering the whole town in snow for christmas, well for Hartley.

They were guessing Hartley had never had a good christmas and were determined to make this his best christmas ever.
