Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D This one has been my absolute favourite to write thus far, and it felt like everything fell into place while writing it.
Entertaining kids with those tops isn't necessarily a terrible suggestion on Sam's part, but also not a particularly good one, all things considered...some tops have been reasonably kid-safe over the years, but you'd hate to give a kid the one with machine guns. I mean, even he thought that’d be a bad idea :>

Oh gosh, thank you! I want Digger to have human depths even when he seems like a trashfire, and he obviously loves his son -- it'd be nice to think he could extrapolate that care for other kids in need too. The other Rogues are (mostly) concerned about her welfare in their own ways, but don't know how to relate to or talk to a child in distress. Only Digger has that experience.

Oh, definitely not alone, I see it a lot! And it's pretty common for people to say something along the lines of "Wally's my Flash because he did [something in JLU but not in the comics]", so that's obviously the incarnation which sticks in their mind or endears him to them.
The JLU version is my favourite Wally too, for what it’s worth.
