After being with so many foster families Nosedive had seen almost everything. Poor houses, rich houses with butlers, half brothers, half sisters and even grandparents but something about this house was different. It was empty, not only physically but mentally too. When he and his brother Wildwing first got adopted by the Featherstones everything was great. They clothed them, fed them, played with them and something they hadn't seen in a while; loved them. But ever since Ms. Featherstone died things had changed.

It didn't help that Robert Featherstone got married to a local whore only a couple weeks after. Right now they were on vacation on some island resort. They didn't even hire a baby-sitter, not that he cared. It's as if they didn't care about him or Wing. They just left his brother to look over him, which he did too much these days.

Nosedive couldn't stand being alone, he needed some attention. He took off with his coat in hand. Twenty minutes later he arrived in an ally after kicking a can, not looking where he was going. He bumped into a big tough figure. Immediately he was pushed back.

"Hey watch it you little brat!" A dirty scratched up drake about sixteen said. Looking down he smiled showing yellowish brownish teeth.

"Sorry." Nosedive muttered. The drake held his shoulder causing him to fall to the ground.

"Take off your shoes!" He ordered.

"No!" The younger Nosedive tried to get away but it didn't work. The drake had got on top of him and was hitting him causing visible bruises on contact. After two minutes he blacked out.

Nosedive woke up, immediately feeling pain in his face and upper chest. It took him a second too realize where he was at, his house. Wildwing jumped on his feet and went over to his brother.

"Dive! Are you okay?!" His brother asked.

"Yeah just give me some aspirin I'll be fine after the truck stops spinning." He smirked.

"I see you haven't lost your sense of humor. What happened to you?"

"This guy jumped me for my shoes." He said looking down at his feet.

"Do you know how long you've been out? It's been three days! You're lucky I found you about an hour after it happened or else I don't know what coulda happened to you."

"Thanks for saving my tailfeathers, bro." He smiled rubbing his face to rid the pain.

"Ya know, your the only brother I got." Realizing the frown behind nosedive's award winning smile, something hit him. Something has been up with him the last couple a weeks. That sparkle in his eyes were gone, not a trace left. He hated it when Nosedive kept something from him.

About a year back when they weren't with the Featherstones, but at the orphanage Nosedive had kept what he was feeling from him. He was depressed about having no parents, everyone at the orphanage felt like that but Nosedive had a slightly higher degree of it. When he had finally confronted Dive, he deigned it but Wildwing didn't accept it. Nosedive gave in, telling him he was thinking about committing suicide, which scared Wildwing to death.

Ever since then Wildwing always worried about his brother. If he didn't ask Nosedive what was wrong that day, he would have been dead. He decided to ask that lifesaving question once more.

"You have been acting a little strange lately, is anything wrong?"

Nosedive thought hard, since the injury made it difficult for him to remember things. "Something about dad and that whore, they just left us here and no baby-sitter or no one to take care of us." His green eyes narrowed.

"Yeah I feel like that too but they do care."

"They?! All that woman cares about is his money. We should really leave." Nosedive said not thinking about what he just said.

Wildwing thought for a while then something clicked. "You know your right, we should leave here."

"..What?" Shocked that he was actually right for once. He regretted not thinking before he spoke.

"Think about it! They aren't going to be back for about a week and it's not like they care about us anymore." Wildwing winced at what he said.

"Yeah, but what if they do care? It might seem like they don't but."

"But nothing! You just said that they don't care! You and I both know that they don't care, even though we want them too.. it's not going to happen." He wished what he said wasn't so true.

"I know, all I want is a family, all I ever wanted is a family." He frowned. "Should we go back to the orphanage?" Nosedive sighed.

"No, they might look for us there... if they even look. Just follow me."

Nosedive was obedient. He wished they wouldn't have to leave but it made no sense to stay. He had no idea where they were going but anyplace was better than here. He hoped they would find someone that cared about them like their own parents. Even though he never knew his parents, he wished they we're alive so he and his brother wouldn't have to live like this.

The two headed off looking for some sort of place where they would be safe and be loved. Through the woods, houses and local ice rings they searched. For about two months they keep looking, almost on the edge of starvation. The next day they collapsed in front of a brick house. The couple who lived there; the Flashblades found them and instantly felt something for the children. They had took them inside their house. Finally Wildwing & Nosedive found those special parents that took care of them, loved them and everything else loving parents would do. Finally Nosedive had a family he could call his own.
