Chapter 2

Nighttime at Xiao-Long/Rose household was Glynda reading a comic book and eating a slice of pizza.

Glynda:*eating pizza* Captain Punch really is a great comic.

As she was eating, she heard the sound of a car coming implying that the parents are back and to hide her comic.

Glynda: Nobody will never know I read that.

After she said that, the sound of a car stopping and putting on the parking brake.

Meanwhile inside the Xiao-Long car aka Zippy. Was Taiyang, Summer, Riot, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and a sleeping Neo.

Taiyang:*to the ones that are awake* Welp, home sweet home. Or your new home now.

Riot:*looking at the house* It looks like it built by a few people. Did you build it?

Taiyang:*impressed* Yeah. But with the help of my teammates, one of which is sitting to me.*gesturing to Summer*

Summer: Aww.

Cinder: Is there enough space for all 5 of us?

Summer: At the moment no, but we'll let you sleep on our beds till tomorrow. That's when you'll get new beds.

Mercury: Cool.

Taiyang: Anyway, let's head inside. You'll also get meet someone during our days in Beacon.

Emerald:*fascinated* A Huntress!

Cinder & Summer: Shhh.

Emerald:*quietly* Oop. Sorry.

Riot: It's alright.

The parents and the kids got out of Zippy and head towards the door. As Taiyang was about to unlock the door it opened revealing Glynda who was still eating a slice of pizza.

Glynda:*still eating* Welcome back. And yes, there's still some left.*looks at the kids with a raised eyebrow* Did Summer kidnapped them?

Taiyang: What?! No!

Summer:*offended* Yeah! Plus, I stopped 8 years ago!

Riot & Cinder: Wait, 8 years?

Summer: Raven didn't want to comply, so I took the initiative.

Glynda: You kidnapped Raven?

Summer:*correcting her* Adult napped.

Everyone else:...

Taiyang: Any woo, Glynda.*gesturing to the kids* Meet our new kids that we just adopted.

Taiyang:*points to Neo* This is Neo, the youngest and the same age as Ruby.

Neo rubs her eyes of sleep and waves at Glynda. Who waves back.

Taiyang:*points at Emerald who is clinging to Summer's leg* This is Emerald.

Emerald:*shy* H-hello.

Glynda: Hello there.

Taiyang:*pats Mercury's shoulder* This is Mercury.

Mercury: Hey.*gets elbowed by Cinder* I mean, good evening.

Glynda:*chuckles a little* Good evening to you too.

Taiyang:*head pats Cinder's head* This is Cinder, the sub-leader of this group. All three of them are the same age as Yang.

Cinder: Good evening, ma'am.

Glynda: Good evening to you as well.

Taiyang:*points at Riot* And this is the leader of the group, Riot. He's a year older than Yang.

Riot:*puts hand out for a handshake* Ma'am.

Glynda:*shakes his hand* Young ma-

*bones crack*

Glynda: Huh?*looks at her hand*

Glynda's hand was broken as a result of Riot's semblance.

Glynda doesn't say anything and just looks at her now broken hand with a shocked smile.

Taiyang and Summer are also equally shocked.

While Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and Neo had a look that says "Really, again?"

Riot: Oops. Sorry, semblance.

Glynda:*in pain now* It's alright. MY HAND!

? & ?:*from the corner* Uh?

Everyone: Huh?

At the corner between stairs leading to the bedrooms and the living room, is Ruby and Yang peeking at everyone.

Yang: Is this a bad time?

Summer: No, it's a great one.

Ruby:*behind Yang* It is?

Taiyang: Yep! Come here and introduce yourselves.

Riot's Pov

I look at the two girls coming from the stairs case. There's one with blonde and pigtails in a yellow outfit on. And one that has the same hair color as Summer and a red dress.

Taiyang: Ruby, Yang, meet your new siblings. Neo, Emerald, Mercury, Cinder and Riot!

Summer: And guess what Ruby. Neo's the same age as you.

Ruby:*excited* Really!?

Summer: Yep!

Taiyang: And Yang. Cinder, Emerald and Mercury are the same age as you.

Yang:*raises her arms in the air* Cool!

Taiyang: However, Cinder's the oldest of the group.

Yang: Wut?

Mercury: What he meant is that Cinder is the same age as us.

Emerald: But is few months older.

Yang: Oh...

I see Ruby looking at me with a questioning look.

Ruby:*looking at Me* And Riot?

Summer & Taiyang:*to Ruby & Yang* He's your big brother!

Ruby:*starry-eyed* Really?
Yang:*happy* For real?

Summer & Taiyang: Yeah. 😁

Ruby then walks up to me with stars in her eyes.

Ruby: You have the same eyes as me and Mommy!

I didn't know what to do or say so I picked her up and she looked even more excited than before.

Yang:*starry-eyed* And he's strong too!

Me: I'm...very thankful...to be you big brother

Cinder:*a little shy* And I'm t-thankful to your slightly older sister.

Next thing I know is that I'm hugged by Ruby. Again, I don't know what to do, but I remember Neo and Emerald would do this to Cinder, Mercury or I when Lady Kite yells or finished punishing them. So in turn, I hugged Ruby back and patted her head.

A/N: Thoughts='Thoughts' If it's someone POV.

Yang: 'Ruby's opened up to someone!'*proud sister noises*

I noticed that Summer-I mean, Mother? Is taking what looks to be pictures of us with her what's it called again? A scroll? I then see, Father? Outside vomiting rainbows? With another man doing the same. I also see a woman with black hair on the ground outside with rainbow colored foam around her head. Weird.

Glynda:*blushing* This is too wholesome.

Mercury:*to Glynda* Your hand is still broken, ma'am.

Glynda:*doesn't care* It was worth it, if I get to see this.

Looks like I have more people I need to protect and care.
