It was an off night for Thor.

He and Jane had broken up once more after getting yet another insignificant fight, his father was still bothering him to leave Midgard and return to Asgard, and, as if that wasn't enough, he found himself in the middle of a Keystone City fighting off a crazed boomerang throwing maniac because the resident hero was nowhere to be found.

"What are you doing here, blondie? I thought you'd be running around with that Avengers team o' yours!" The blue and white dressed man cackled as he threw boomerang after boomerang, all of which Thor was able to hit with Mjolnr.

"You are causing a disturbance to these civilians! I cannot allow you to continue harming them!"

With these words Thor aimed straight at the man with the funny accent, prepared to plow into him with full force. But, much to his dismay, the man threw a boomerang straight at the house beside them, which immediately caught fire with the charge the object held.

"By Odin!" Thor gasped, stopping before he hit the mad man to fly into the home.

Apparently, whatever the boomerang had hit was extremely flammable. Already the kitchen had caught on fire and the flames were slowly spreading to the living area.

Thor glanced from side to side, unsure of what to do, only to hear a small cough come from the top of the stairs.

"Who's there?"

That was when Thor found a small red headed boy dressed in casual clothing, a backpack slung over his shoulder as he rubbed at his eyes.

Without a second thought, Thor immediately grabbed the boy and flew out of the burning home, only to find no traces of the boomerang throwing man anywhere.

"Thor?! Oh. My. God! This is totally wicked!" The green eyed boy gasped as he looked up at the man that had rescued him, clearly amazed with who it was.

Thor ignored the child, doing his best to search for the villain with the boy still in his hands, but coming up with nothing. So, after a few minutes, he looked down at the boy with a tentative smile.

"Thor, you're so cool! I hope you know that you're the bestest hero out there, you're even better than all the Avengers and the Justice League put together!"

Thor chuckled at the boy's words, finding his energy quite refreshing. "Oh, you think so?"

The red head nodded wildly. "Yeah! I mean, you can fly, you're indestructible, you have a pretty awesome accent- I mean, what's there that's not awesome about you?"

These warm and clearly honest words were enough to make the god forget all about his foul mood from earlier, feeling like this boy was quite the refreshing breath he needed.

"What is your name, child?"

The boy's green eyes widened at the question, most probably not expecting the god to be so nice, but still answered readily. "My name is Wallace, Mr. Thor, but you can call me Wally!"

Thor shifted the boy onto his right hip, finding it slightly odd that he was so light. "Well, Wally," He said the name rather awkwardly, the sounds just too different for his much more refined vocabulary. "I am sorry that your home was burned down."

The boy only shook his head, "That wasn't my home. I don't even know to who it belonged."

Thor was clearly shocked by his words, and asked with alarm, "Child, where are your parents?"

The boy only shrugged. "I don't know. I've never seen them."

"What do you mean? That could not possibly-" Thor was about to question the boy's obvious lie, but his Avengers communicator sounded.

"Thor, where are you? Some godly assistance would be pretty cool right now." Iron Man's mechanical voice sounded through, making the god sigh. "Apparently Hawkeye and Hulk thought it would be funny to start messing with some of H.Y.D.R.A.'s old equipment."

"Understood. I will be there as soon as I can." Thor answered, then looked down at the small boy in his hands. "Well... Seeing how you have no family, where shall I leave you?"

The boy's good mood vanished as soon as those words left his mouth, his smile turning into a frown in an extremely small amount of time.

"Well... I guess... You can leave me at the nearest bus station... It was about time I left Keystone, anyways..." With this the boy tried to get down from Thor's grasp, only to find the god holding onto him.

"You would not surely ask this of me? I cannot allow a child to wander around aimlessly!"

"Thor, some assistance would be appreciated very much!" Hawkeye yelled into his ear and Thor only rolled his eyes as he heard a grunt come from the archer afterwards.

"Wally, I cannot leave you here... I have an idea."

Wally looked up at him with curious green eyes, even though he was still frowning. Clearly the boy was wary of strangers, seeing how Thor's novelty must have worn off.

"I shall take you to my quarters in the Avengers tower. You shall stay there until I get you... Then we can think on what to do next." Thor looked down at him, eyebrow quirked. "Do you enjoy this plan much more?"

The mega-watt smile offered by the boy was an answer enough.

"Very well then, hold on, Wally. Heimdall, open the bridge!"

And they were off.


In hindsight, maybe having taken a child from a burned home after a very big fight and leaving him in a very magical and dangerous room could not have been the best idea Thor could have come up with. Maybe it would have been better if he had left Wally in an orphanage or even in the care of Darcy.

But Thor couldn't find it in himself to regret this idea. The boy acted as if he had no family and... Well, Thor had always been a sucker for the puppy eyes. Even as a child he would take animals in to help them if it was needed.

And Wally was just the cutest human child he had come into contact with!

"Goldilocks, your timing couldn't have been any better!" Iron Man cheered as they entered the Avengers Tower from the jet, the whole time beat up but happy with the results of the fight.

"Thank you, Man of Iron." Thor spoke softly, slightly preoccupied as he wondered on Wally's whereabouts.

He had strictly told the boy what he could and could not do while in his room, but- knowing how most humans reacted to rules because of Hawkeye and Hulk- the Norse man was slightly worried about the boy.

"Now, Clint, Hulk. You and the floors of Stark Industries will be well acquainted by the time your punishment is over." Captain America growled at the two that had begun the whole mess, making Tony smirk at them.

"Now you know why you don't start messing around with technology well above your intellect." The billionaire told them as he crossed his arms, making Hulk growl back at him.

"Stupid rich man! I'll show you intellect!" Hulk raised his fist, only to have Captain America stop him with a very dangerous glare.

"I shall be retiring now." Thor mumbled as the men continued their dangerous dance, making Black Widow look at him with curiosity.

"So early, Thor? That's not like you."

Thor smiled back at the red head, trying his best to come up with an excuse while thoughts of Wally stopped him from just that. His hair was even brighter than hers...

"I am just tired, Natasha. Now, if you will excuse me."

With that Thor quickly left the room, not wanting any of his teammates to continue questioning him. And as soon as he was out of their sight, he took off flying to his room, worried about what he might find in the room.

In hindsight, he really should not have left such a young boy in such a dangerous room.

As soon as he was inside and the door behind him was locked, Thor looked around with wide and worried eyes.

Only to sigh in relief when he found the red headed boy sleeping on the floor, head nestled on Bilgey's stomach. The Bilgesnipe lazily looked up at Thor, yawning in some type of greeting before curling up against the boy to offer even more comfort.

Thor couldn't help but smile at the sight before him.

So, rushed beginning is rushed beginning!

But, seriously, come on! Wally cuteness with Thor obliviousness? There is nothing better out there! Except, of course, if you add Uncle!Ollie... But that will be later on.
