With a mom who was a stuntwoman (a certified badass) and a father who flew some of the fastest jets in the world (not to mention one of the best pilots in the world), their kids were bound to be adrenaline junkies.
Add in the fact that Uncle Benji was also still an active stuntman, as well as actor, Uncle Mickey, while retired, was always in the air, and Aunt Natasha still flew with their father, the girls had many influences that led them to that lifestyle.
Best friends with Mickey's kids and Phoenix's kids, the girls had one of the best groups growing up. They were all as tight as could be, although none had dated which was a relief to their parents.
Hangman and Coyote lost the bet that had on at least two of the kids getting together, to which Phoenix promptly smacked both of them.
The oldest Finch daughter followed closer to her father's footsteps.
Although she became a pilot, she stuck with a helicopter, working mainly with search and rescue wherever needed. Occasionally, she was a med-evac transport when it was a dire situation. But nothing as death defying as her father had done during his flying days.
The youngest Finch daughter had followed in her mother and uncle's footsteps, becoming a stunt woman.
Both girls had been trained in self-defense, but Jia and Reuben never wanted to force them into something they didn't like.
So when their youngest continued to show interest, they were happy she was doing what she loved.
Where she differed from her mother was how she wanted to move forward. She wasn't interested in becoming a coordinator.
No. She had her sights set on Fight Choreographer. She wanted to be creating the fights and teaching it to the actors and her stunt team.
Jia herself had done so well as a coordinator that she was consistently sought after.
Big directors wanted her for their blockbuster movies. High stakes TV shows wanted her to run their stunt teams.
Jia was booked and busy, but she always made time for her family and friends.
Reuben had stayed with Dagger Squad for a number of years, just like everyone else. But soon, people were retiring or moving up in rank.
Mickey had talked with him about retiring, wanting to spend time with his own family. He was still over at the house all the time, so it's not like he disappeared from their lives.
Reuben continued on in the Navy, rising through the ranks slowly but surely. As he rose, the higher-ups wanted him to teach. He started out with some guest lectures, a few technical demonstrations here or there.
Soon enough, Reuben was teaching at Top Gun, thriving in his position and helping the new generations of pilots.
The Finch family had soared through life, taking risks and having fun. Their story was one of love and laughter.
It was the perfect life.

Just a glimpse into the future of our family. I honestly couldn't think of names for the girls, so I hope it wasn't too confusing.
