By the time Kityana turns 17, Aleksei has found a way to put her in a Boxing ring on National television. Her viciousness and good looks and surefire strikes get her well recognized. She becomes famous by 18, and married shortly after to Vic, who changes his name to Sorsin with pride. By this time, he's a fluent speaker of Russian. He beefs up a bit and he starts learning to coach Kityana and make astute observations like her father does for her. Once the other three members of Bowers Gang get the chance, they join the couple and act as support and security with her family. They move out to California.

When Kityana turns 19, she is asked to take on a movie role. She's to act lascivious, but it comes off as intimidating and strong, which nets her different roles. Stronger roles. Action roles. Vic ends up acting in a few of those movies as well, usually as a henchman. Sometimes they get the other three in those films too. It always amused the five.

Kityana and Vic have a son by the time they're 26. Then another at 27, and another at 28, then triplets at 30.

Bill becomes a prolific writer with perfect endings chock full of meaning. He and Bev date young and find they don't quite mesh well, so they split. His books are soon swiped for movies and he insists Kityana always portray certain characters. Every one is a motherly or big sister sort, because that's how he always sees her. It expands her roles to more than just hot action chick. He ends up marrying another actress and they have three kids by the time he's 35.

Ben becomes a well sought after Architect. It had hurt when Bev went for Bill, but the moment she seemed receptive, he swept in and asked her out. He was still a bit pudgy, but age had done him well. Beverly said he had a beautiful face when he looked at her, full of love and peace. She incorporated that into her vows, making the guy blush brightly and kiss her early. They have 5 children and are considered actual family to the Sorsin's due to Demitri adopting Beverly.

Beverly is a renowned fashion designer. She doesn't just do some high fashion, either. She does things the common folk can purchase and flaunt too. Said it was important lower income people get the chance to feel like a million bucks. It went over super well with the PR team.

Eddie uses his neuroticism to his advantage and tames it well enough to really function as a Risk Management Adviser. It takes seeing one of Richie's stand ups to make him realize something extremely important. He calls the comedian up and schedules a visit. Once he arrives at Richie's place, he marches in like he owns the place and finds some random woman in Richie's bed. Promptly, he tells the young woman to leave because he's about to make Richie the most miserable son of a bitch in the world. And without another word, suggests Richie stabilize his life by partnering with him.

Richie, a well known comedian, well liked, seems to fall silent. He gets up from his bed, naked and approaches Eddie who avoids looking at Richie for his nudeness. Then he latches onto Eddie's face and kisses him before laughing out a light sounding 'yes'. So they partnered, and when they could, they married. They bicker all. The. time. But Eddie figured out that a simple kiss makes Richie trip over his own tongue before switching gears. The arguing becomes something rather different, but no less passionate.

Mike becomes a very well renowned historian and ends up becoming a historic adviser to Directors and Writers. Something he honestly doesn't mind. He travels the world in the meantime and breathes easy everywhere he goes. He becomes passionate about preserving landmarks and educational programs and arts programs. Donates to national parks and volunteers during disasters. He's the only one who stays single and enjoys it. Though, he ends up adopting a couple kids from desperate areas, heart bleeding for their plight. Hell! He even builds shelters and irrigation systems for these areas out of pocket.

Stan becomes a very intelligent accountant and runs the accounts of the entire group with the grace he has always had. He never doubts his faith in any of them and checks the girl he falls for with both Bill and Kityana. Both of whom approve. He marries and has two children quickly. Words can never express how absolutely blessed he feels.

Belch, or, as he ends up going as when he hits 20, Reggie, finds himself a girl as into cars and fixing them up as himself! He adores her so completely that even Vic teases him about it. But he's happy to take it in stride. When he gets angry, as he has always been prone, the woman he adores meets his anger and they go running or hit up the gym to get rid of the energy and turn it into something else. It's therapeutic for Reggie. They have 4 children.

Henry ends up realizing he is not as straight as his father insisted he be. It terrifies him, but neither Vic nor Reggie mock him for it. Patrick does, but Henry has a history of ignoring the guy. But it does end up spurring a downplayed confession from Patrick. "I'm Pan, so, who cares?" That makes Henry a bit more comfortable about it. Not coming out comfortable, yet. He doesn't get that comfortable until he attends Richie and Eddie's wedding and reception. Meets his boyfriend there. He's still shy about it all, though.

Patrick swings himself around a lot, not minding who he shacks up with. He never settles, but that's how he likes it. He does have a penchant for trouble though, but reigns it in at the end because Kityana once told him that he'd miss out if he fucked up too hard. He never asked what he'd miss out on, but then again, it didn't matter. He didn't want to miss a God damned thing!

The group stays in touch and supports one another extremely often. Their children are friends and consider everyone rather akin to family themselves! Kityana's blood does come over and her mother and brothers are never mentioned. They all submit to her being the Head of the family with ease.

And in the distance of space, a giant turtle named Maturin is pleased at the outcome. He didn't involve himself. No, not directly. But sending a piece of himself to Earth directly after Deadlights, It, the Creature, went there was a brilliant idea. It may have landed on the other side, but, patience proved helpful. Everything worked out in the end and Maturin could finally meet his end in peace, assured things would be well.

Because they had no choice.
