I'm thinking of saying this is the beginning of part 2... but I'm not sure. I really don't want to make a new story thing that keeps running about Naomi and all that happens, but I really want to keep going so...

Well everyone here is Chapter 1 of part 2, also known as Chapter 51.

Shout outs!

X-Nerd: That's my Rael, he cares for Naomi which is obvious, but nothing more than friends and now they're brother and sister. Yay! And its gonna be so much fun now that they're related!

Chapter 51

Naomi dropped a bag onto the new mattress, in her new room, at a new house. She immediately went and pulled back the curtains on the floor to ceiling Gothic style windows with seats in them and in the peaks of the windows were designs in colorful stained glass. There wasn't a balcony, but there was a massive backyard.

"How are you settling in?" The soft voice of her new guardian came from the door.

"You're house is amazing Mrs. Tanners, I didn't know Rael came from such a well off family." Naomi went back to her suitcase and opened it, "Are you sure this room is for me?"

The melodious sound of her laugh drifted around her, "Please call me Riley, I hope eventually you'll call me Mom or some other synonym." She came in and sat on the bed, "This was my room when I was a younger girl, when Rael's grandpa passed we were given this house as well as an amount of inheritance. You'll meet Mr. Tanners tonight at dinner, I'm glad that your uncle would let us steal you and your new brother away for the next few weeks."

The shadow walker smiled and put some of her things away, "I'm really, really grateful for all of this," She sat down next to her guardian, "But I still don't understand why."

Riley patted the younger girl's hand, "That would be because Mr. Tanner was orphaned when he was a few years younger than you. He, unlike you, was put into the system and didn't get out of it until he was eighteen. When Rael called us and told his father what was happening with you and how you would end up in a situation like his, where there wasn't much chance for you to get out of foster care my husband decided that we had more than enough room and income to be able to take care of another like Rael."

The girl managed to keep her mouth from dropping open while her new mother explained things to her, "So he's trying to save me from the same cycle as he was in?" the other nodded, "Its really kind of you both."

There was a single knock on the door then Rael walked in, "Come on mom, she's staying at the house, she isn't going to up and disappear in a few minutes." He grinned, "Come on sis, I'll give you the grand tour."

Naomi looked quickly at Rael's mom, she smiled and nodded. Naomi jumped up and went after Rael, "I donno, it may take some adjusting to having a sibling."

She could almost see him resisting the urge to roll his eyes, "I'm still me, your still you. Think of the new arrangement like the snowball fight, I'm your new permanent bodyguard. Speaking of which, if Rune does anything stupid, and I'm sure he will," Naomi made an indignant sound, "I now have the right to beat him to near death without any repercussions."

Shaking her head at the smile on his face Naomi just followed her now brother down to the first floor thinking he liked that idea a little too much. "Why did you tell your parents that our powers are similar, they aren't anything alike in my opinion."

He shrugged, "They're both black, and we can make weapons at will, seems pretty close to me. Sure you can walked through shadows and have a world all your own, who's to say that my powers won't evolve into that too?"

This made Naomi laugh, "I guess I'll have to explain all of my powers to them eventually, so where we starting this tour?"

There were seventeen and a half different rooms in the house; the kitchen, a dining room, a in house bar which Naomi was told was strictly for Mr. Tanners' business clients use while the soda bar in a large gaming room was for free use, three studies, four and a half bathrooms, the entry way, a living room which doubled as a library, and five bedrooms. Naomi felt like she'd walked into a fairy tale while Rael led her from room to room explaining each one and how often they were used.

"Your grandparents were loaded." Naomi commented when she was looking down one of the two bowling lanes in the gaming room.

Rael shrugged again, "He knew how to invest. When we found out I was a mutant mom laughed about it saying that gramps probably was too, he could always predict the fluxes in the investing market." Rael grinned, "I remember he confided in me once that he was sure he was too, numbers and money stuff was always easy for him, they almost did the problems by their selves."

Naomi sat on one of the couches in the living room, "Your family is amazing."

"You haven't even met dad yet."

A voice echoed in the entry way, "I'm home, there better be another girl in this house!"

"Speak of the devil." Rael stepped out into the hall, "In here dad." A man with dark black hair, and Rael's green eyes came into the room. "Dad this is Naomi, Naomi this is your new dad, Greg Tanners."

He stepped in and before she could do anything she was swept up into his arms in a long hug. She went stiff at first but slowly relaxed and returned the gesture that she'd never gotten from her own father, "Welcome to the family Naomi." He said softly, she didn't understand why but she felt a few tears escape and she held her new dad tighter.
