After a while of riding around on his runner, Noah came across the gate leading to the tops. The penthouse, where he once called home loomed over the city. As he approached the gate, a member of Sector Security stood in front of his runner, and stopped him. "Where do you think you're going? This place, is for residents only, if you're not a resident, which I know you're not, then I'm going to ask you to leave." Noah sighed softly to himself, as pushed the stand on his runner out, so that it wouldn't topple over, before stepping off his runner and approached the officer. "Listen, believe it or not, I used to....rather I technically still do live here. My name is Noah Frost, and I realise I've been gone for some time, even presumed dead, but I've come home to see my family. Oh and before you ask, my code is 71853." He stated matter of factly, more out of curiosity than not, the officer begrudgingly entered the code into his console, and got an immediate hit.

He looked from the screen back up to Noah, and continued doing that, until the reality of seeing who was in front of him set in. "My God, it really is you? I should inform your Mother of this...." Noah grabbed the officers hand, and gently shook his head. "No, I'd rather surprise her when she comes home. I'm assuming the story about my father dying, is true then?" Noah looked away for a moment, and looked up at his home, noticing two children peeking out of the window. "Who are they?" The officer looked up at the window, and spied the twins, who quickly disappeared. "Firstly, the story was true I'm afraid, and secondly they are Leo and Luna. Your Mother's children from her current marriage." Well that certainly shocked Noah, he had half siblings? "So they're....family then? Would you mind buzzing me up, and telling them I'm a lodger that their parents has asked to watch over them?" The officer gave a nod of his head, before buzzing the gate open, and allowing Noah and his runner through onto his family's property.

"Damn it's been so long...." He muttered to himself, as he parked his runner up in the driveway, and proceeded to knock on the door. After some quick shuffling around inside, the door slowly creaked open. "Can I help you?" Came a soft spoken voice, as a boy with a ponytail appeared from the side of the door. "You must be Leo, I've heard about you. Your parents asked me to stay here, while they're away. To keep an eye on the two of you, hope you don't mind." Leo hesitated for a moment, before eventually letting Noah inside. "Come in. The fact that security let you through, is good enough for me. As you guessed, my name Leo and my sister Luna is here too. Though, she's a little shy around others." Leo stood confidently in front of Noah, and Noah couldn't help but smile. "You take pride in taking care of her, don't you?" Leo nodded his head, and smiled up at him. "That's what brothers do, I just wish I could've met my older brother. From what our mom said, he was awesome, and we would've loved him." Luna then slowly appeared from the hallway, holding onto not just a teddy bear, but a picture frame too.

Slowly she extended her hands out, and showed Noah the picture frame. Inside of it, was a picture of himself when he was a kid, alongside his Mother. "That takes me back." Noah muttered to himself, but Luna's face immediately lit up, and she threw her arms around Noah, and Noah returned the embrace. Though Leo looked confused, Luna turned to her twin in annoyance. "Leo! It's him, this is our older brother, now stop being an idiot and come say hi!"
