Whatâs My Age Again?

âI didnât mean to! Sânt my fault that dumb cat got all crabbyâŚâ He protested, tiny fists balled at his sides. âAnâ I donât need any medicine, Iâm fine!â He continued his defense as Snart ignored him and turned around.
Digger opened his mouth to complain but stopped short as his partner crouched down, seemingly genuine in the offer for a ride. In return, Digger was genuine in his surprise. He blinked a couple of times, unsure if he should hop onto the other manâs back or play it tough and call Snart out for trying to ridicule him further. In the end, childish desperation and an achy hand won the battle. Giving a little huff of his own, Digger begrudgingly climbed up and frowned into the hood of his partnerâs jacket.
Heâd never had much in the way of fond memories with regards to his brother, but he couldnât fight the creeping memory of being carried around the outback by the older boy after a long day out to play, especially given the similarities between then and just now. He screwed his eyes shut to try and drive the memory away, already feeling frustrated with his helpless state.

Not too far off, they came upon a consignment shop of sorts; Easy enough to break into without calling attention to themselves. First order of business was definitely finding clothes and mending Diggerâs wounded hand. What they would do afterwards was anyoneâs guess.
Len tried his hardest not to think about the ridiculousness of the situation at hand, but it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE given the fact that this was some sort of supernatural-voodoo-type thing. It was a pain in the ass to deal with, and he had not idea how he was going to do so. First and foremost, he had to remember that whatever plan they had beforehand was thrown away and it was time for a plan B.
Phase One was them finding clothes for the small bundle of pouts that was clinging onto Snartâs back at the moment. He walked briskly but quietly, not wanting to open up conversation for the awkwardness of the situation. Just stick to the goal, and weâll be done with it in no time, he told himself as he approached the still-empty shop.
Suddenly halting, Leonard dropped to one knee and let out a low âOff!â for the other to slide back onto the ground. He hoped that he wouldnât have to hold Diggerâs hand in order to keep him from wandering off, so he decided some sort of pep talk was in order.
âLetâs go ahead and mention some ground rules, all right?â He squatted in front of the little one and brought one finger up.
âRule number One. You will stay by my side at all times, or so help me.â
Now two fingers.
âTwo. You keep quiet and do whatever I say.â
Three fingers.
âThree---if you argue with me even for a SECOND, Iâm going to leave you to fend off for yourself. Iâm not being paid to babysit. Got it?âÂ
