On the outskirts of London town a black taxi pulled up outside a large building. A small sign beside the buildings front door read 'Saint Andrews, Foster Home For Boy's'.

A rather large man stepped out of the taxi carrying a small suitcase, he held the door open waiting for the two passengers to follow. The three then walked up to the home currently swallowed by the darkness of the night. The man rung the door bell twice before it was answered. An old woman in her fifties opened the door. The light from the inside shown out onto the steps and illuminated the two young boys.

The elderly lady looked at them and stepped forward "You must be the Tennaman boys" she sounded sympathetic and kind but the voice heard next added contrast to her own

"Ms Hocket my name is Mr Sanders, the boys have been in my care until they were placed in a home. If you could please sign some papers I'll be on my way"

"Ah yes, well why don't you come in"

Once inside they were lead into a small office with a fire roaring in the fireplace. Whilst Mr Sanders prepared the papers, Ms Hocket was taking a good first look at the two young boys. The taller and obviously eldest was Jack. He behaved older than a ten year old, even just by how he stood was odd. He was currently glaring at Mr Sanders, no emotion on his face at all. Still that would be normal for someone who had just lost their parents in a house fire.

She then looked to the younger boy, David. He was smaller than Jack and took it as an advantage to hide behind him, shy of course. She was entranced by his mad hairstyle of spikes, for a six year old, he sure had a handsome head of hair. It was clear these two would be inseparable, and she was sure if she could get to know them better she could surely gain their trust, just like many of the other boys at saint Andrews.

"No relatives then" she asked

"No, none that we could find" Came a voice from the desk "No guardians of Godparents either, the parents weren't religious and didn't have anyone assigned to them if anything were to happen"

"How unfortunate, hopefully we can find them a new home"

"Indeed, if you could just sign here, then the boys will be your responsibility and I'll just be on my way"

Meanwhile on the opposite side of the room a rather furious young Jack whispered behind him to his younger brother "Doc, I ain't staying here"

Little David stepped closer to Jack and whispered back "What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean Einstein, they ain't going to be nice to us here, they'll lock us in our rooms and feed us slop"

"You don't know that"

"Oh don't I, remember when we watched Annie?"

"Yeah"

"No different, except we're not getting a bald millionaire as our new daddy"

"I don't want a new daddy, I want our daddy, I want our mummy, Cap I wanna go home"

"Yeah well there dead, we've no home to go back to and look where that's left us" When Jack heard a small sniff come from behind him he turned around to see David crying silently "Hey, look at me. I'm sorry i didn't mean it. But it is true, they left us on our own to fend for ourselves. I'm in charge now so what i say goes. I'm your big brother, so it's my job to take care of you understand? I'm not going to let anything happen to you. So if that means leaving this dump, then so be it, anywhere is better than here"

Jack took hold of David's hand and lead him out of the office before they were spotted. Once outside they fled the building and away from the property.

"This is it Doc" Said Jack as he practically dragged David by the arm away from the home "You remember this, we don't need anyone and no one needs us, we're free in the world, free to do whatever we please, eat chocolate for breakfast, stay up late, play games all day long, the works"

"Cap i'm scared" replied David

Jack stopped running and grabbed David by the shoulders "Don't be, we don't need anyone, you got me and i got you. The Doctor and the Captain, blood brothers for life. No one to stand in our way"

"Just you and me?"

"Just me and you"

David smiled and gave his brother a hug, the hug was returned warmly before they heard shouting coming from behind them. The yells of Ms Hocket and Mr Sanders among them. David grew scared "Jack!"

"Don't worry Doc, it's just the monsters"

"The aliens?"

"Yeah, we can outrun them, we can't let them catch us our they'll send us back to the home. It's just another adventure, like the ones in your storybooks"

Jack took David's hand one more time before leading him off into the night. Both boys vanished into the trees never to be heard from again. The runaways were reported missing but the case was closed after two months of the search. Many believed the boys to have been dead or kidnapped, none believed that the two young boys could have survived for so long by themselves and still not be found. But they were wrong. Never underestimate two young boys with the power of imagination, their combined skills and the death of their parents on their shoulders.

I planned to write this story a while ago I just never got to it. It's a work in progress but i hope you all like it. Please read and review :)
