Author's Note: This is an AU inspired by a 1943 Margaret O'Brien film titled "Lost Angel." It's also occasionally influenced by the novel "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card and is probably a blatant rip-off of Sliders and Stargate, but what the heck. The Seven are all kids in this one.
Special thanks, as usual, to my trusty beta-reader, Marnie, and also to Gina, for their help and encouragement.
Note for readers: The boys are frequently referred to as numbers rather than by their names in this AU: It should be pretty clear who is who, but just in case:
One = Josiah
Two = Chris
Three = Buck
Four = Nathan
Five = Ezra
Six = Vin
Seven = JD
