Found Family

Being a parent friend with out knowing it

This is going to be a build up of a headcanon I have. The headcanon is that Nick(Tinman) is the dad friend in a since and Scarecrow sometimes being the back up dad. This is a disconnected play of sorts. Plus this is not connected to anything else in this book. Plus this is my own version of events.

Scene 1

The Wicked Witch of the West stood on top of the cabin, laughing as she spawned some fire near the Scarecrow. Scarecrow fell on his back and started scooting away from it out of fear.

"Fire, someone put it out please" Scarecrow shouted out of fear.

The Wicked Witch laughed more as she disappeared. Dorothy looked around to try to find something to put out the fire.

"Dorothy, stay back, I'll put it out" Tinman told Dorothy as he started stepping out the fire.

Tinman quickly put out the fire and Dorothy helped the Scarecrow up.

"Thank you, Tinman" Scarecrow thanked Tinman. "Saved my straw made self there" Scarecrow nervously chuckled as he tried to make a slight joke of it.

"No problem, Scarecrow. I'm just glad you're ok" Tinman happily said as he hugged Scarecrow.

Scarecrow hugged back with some confusion.

Scene 2

Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tinman went deeper in the forest. Toto was ahead some.

"Stay close Dorothy, there's a lot of wild beasts here and I don't want you to be hurt before you get home" Tinman said while putting his axe in front of him.

"Ok, but if something tries to hurt Toto, I won't hesitate to help him" Dorothy chuckled some.

Tinman chuckled along with Dorothy.

Scene 3

The Winged Monkeys ripped the Scarecrow apart, chasing the Lion, and trying to get to Dorothy but can't due to Tinman's protection by using his axe to scare them. One of them got brave enough to try to grab the axe for only Tinman to spin around with the Winged Monkey ahold of the axe. The Winged Monkey lost their grip. When the others were distracted by that, Tinman grabbed Dorothy's hand and started to run were Scarecrow was. Dorothy was holding Toto close to her.

"Tinman, they're catching up on us!" Dorothy shouted out of fear.

"I can see that" Tinman shouted back. "Dorothy!" Tinman shouted with worry as a Winged Monkey grabbed Dorothy.

A few more Winged Monkeys grabbed ahold of Dorothy and pulled her from Tinman's grip. The Winged Monkeys started to fly more West.

"Dorothy!"

"Tinman!"

Before Dorothy got too high in the sky, she tossed Toto to Tinman and he caught the dog.

"Don't worry about me right now, help Scarecrow first then me and keep Toto safe" Dorothy shouted down to Tinman.

Scene 4

Tinman found the Scarecrow with the help of Toto. The Scarecrow had most of his straw torn out of him, his legs were on the other side of the clearing, and an arm on a tree branch. Tinman grabbed Scarecrow's legs and went to his side.

"Oh Scarecrow, what did they do to you?" Tinman sadly asked, already knowing the answer.

"Well, they tore me apart" Scarecrow responded.

Lion came running into the clearing. Lion saw how Scarecrow was.

"Scarecrow, are you ok?" Lion asked his friend.

"I will be" Scarecrow replied. "Can you please get my arm up there Lion?" Scarecrow asked Lion while pointing at it with his only attached arm.

"I'll try" Lion replied.

Lion ran up to the tree and jumped up to knock the arm down. He picked it up and took it to Tinman. Tinman put Scarecrow back together again with some needle and thread he bought just in case. When Tinman was stitching his legs, Scarecrow had his head on Tinman's shoulder for support.

"Nick, where's Dorothy?" Scarecrow asked Tinman in a whisper.

"She was taken, I tried to protect her and escape the Winged Monkeys but I failed to keep her safe" Tinman said on the verge of tears.

Scarecrow used his only attached arm to wipe away the tears.

"Please don't cry now, Nick. We don't have the oil can at the moment and you can cry all you want when we save Dorothy" Scarecrow hopefully said.

Tinman nodded and forced himself to stop crying. Scarecrow finished wiping his tears. After Tinman was done putting Scarecrow together and stuffed him with straw, he helped Scarecrow up.

"Can you walk?" Tinman asked Scarecrow.

"I believe so" Scarecrow said as he took a step forward but failed.

Tinman caught him and he helped Scarecrow to get used to walking again. After that, it was time to save Dorothy.

Scene 5

There was a fire on Scarecrow's arm. Scarecrow was waving his arm around due to panic. Tinman tried to get him to stop so he could put out the fire. Dorothy picked up a bucket of water and poured the water on Scarecrow with some getting on the Wicked Witch. Scarecrow calmed down when the fire got put out but that quickly turned back to fear when he heard the Wicked Witch screaming. She was melting.

It was a horrible sight. Dorothy looked horrified by it. Lion went next to Dorothy to use a paw to cover her eyes, Tinman went behind her to cover her ears, and Scarecrow went to her other side to hold her hand. Dorothy started to cry silently.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to" Dorothy cried out.

Scarecrow tightened his grip on Dorothy's hand to comfort her. Tinman picked up Dorothy quickly and he signed to leave the room. Scarecrow picked up Toto as they left. Scarecrow gave Toto to Dorothy when they were out of the room. With that, Tinman fell to his knees with Dorothy in his arms and started to cry along with her. Lion lend his right paw for Dorothy to hold for comfort while Scarecrow hugged her and Tinman.

"It's ok, it's ok, everything is going to be ok" Scarecrow said in a comforting tone.

Dorothy took a look at Scarecrow's arm that had the fire set to it. There was a burned patch big enough to spill a good amount of straw out.

"You're hurt" Dorothy said with tears to the Scarecrow.

"I'm alright, Dorothy" Scarecrow said in a weakly calm tone.

Dorothy looked up to see Scarecrow crying too. Dorothy hugged her friend to help comfort him and to comfort herself.
