Out of the Void and to The Doctor

1. Out of the Void

Two dead people lay in front of him. They had been shot, but no blood leaked out of their still bodies, they looked as if they could be asleep. Two of the many casualties caused by the army of robots that marched through the streets before being sucked off into the sky. Obviously it was cool that they were gone, but the boy couldn't really focus on the enemy disappearing when the two bodies in front of him were his parents. The boy sat in front of them, his eyes glazed over and blank as he tried to process his finding of their bodies after running around the city looking for them, to no avail.

There was the faint sound of something approaching, though he didn't look up until it was too late. A group of robots flew through the air, and he happened to be right in their path. One looked straight at him as it approached and he stood up to run, getting one step away before its cold metal arm hooked onto his torso and suddenly he was being carried away.

He screamed and thrashed in its unbreaking grip, before realizing he had to give up, now nearly a hundred feet off the ground and he'd rather risk his chances with wherever he was being taken than falling to his death.

He was carried up to one of the taller skyscrapers in the area, and just as he thought that they were about to crash into the side of it, they flew in through a broken window and headed straight for a glowing wall.

He just had enough time to see two levers on either side of the room, two people next to either lever, holding onto a handle of some sort as they fought against the violent pull of whatever vacuum the robots were being sucked into. The girl looked preoccupied, but the man turned quickly, making eye contact with him, and the man's eyes widened.

"Wait-" The man shouted, but the room disappeared and now the boy was nowhere.

Then there was light. Well, a sort of thing resembling light. It felt warm and the boy was drawn to it. He had no idea how long he had been nowhere, this not-place seemed to not be connected to any sort of time.

He followed it until it was right in front of him. With it, a humming. A warm feeling, he reached his fingers out to it and they brushed over the light. He was drawn into it, the light folding over him until the nothing disappeared and turned into a large sort of room full of lights.

There was a person standing a ways away from the boy, looking upset, like he had just finished a particularly difficult conversation, though it didn't seem that anyone else was in here, so the boy had no idea who he could have been talking to.

Then the man turned and his eyes widened. "What?"

"What?" The boy echoed, though he was more confused about why the man was confused.

"How did you-" The man almost jumped over to the boy, crossing the room in nearly two steps. "How did you get here? Where did you come from?"

The boy opened his mouth, and then he realized he had seen this person before. "Wait, you're the guy in the-"

"Oh, you're the guy who-" The man started, nearly in sync with the boy.

"I'm Blue," the boy said abruptly, sticking his hand out.

"I'm- the Doctor..." said the man, taking Blue's hand and shaking it hesitantly.

"Doctor of what? That's not your first name, is it? Does everyone call you that?" Blue blurted out, before wincing and drawing his hand back. "Er... sorry, didn't mean to ask so many questions."

The Doctor did a sort of shrug then took a step back, looking Blue up and down. "You're that kid who went into the Void, aren't you?"

"That's what that place was? I guess that makes sense, it WAS rather... void-y... And 'kid' is kind of..." Blue looked down at himself, almost offended at himself for looking young enough to be thought a kid.
