Epilogue
August 30th 2012:
8:45 AM - Tibet
Two months has passed since everything moved on with Seattle and the families still affected by the loss of their children from prom night. Even Steve and Cerin changed a lot too.
Cerin works for the Unknown being employed to Enya's secretary; Despite going from an uneasy start, Cerin is slowly getting used to his new job to which the money was largely great as Enya promised to cover both Julian and Cerin himself. He also begins to accept his role as a single father with Julian Wolfe. It made Cerin happy that he is being a father to someone who needed a parental guardian to look after him, Whist it was hard to help Julian with his powers, Enya does help Julian control them better.
Sadly none can be the same for Kayla and Ian Garetty who both loses their job and were shunned by the company due to their disapproving lack of care and knowingly hidden the secrets of Richard's crimes against his family.
However they were let off and spare a minor inflict of damage to the family since the city learned of the death of their son; They even being ordered by Enya to convince the world that Richard Detmer died during the destruction with the rest of the family.
As time went on, Ian finally went off the deep end of depression and filed a divorce with his wife her two months later, Ian now lives in Washington DC, living the rest of his life alone and in fear of the Unknown.
Kayla on the other hand, after being divorced, landed a job at a news company; She tries her best to live on but knows that if only she could've done something to help her nephew instead of abandoning them, her son would still be here and she'd still be with Ian. She sadly spends the rest of her life alone and ruined, turning to alcohol just like her brother.
Steve had Samantha got her memory alter for the sake of her welfare and sanity by Enya herself so now she has no knowledge of Andrew's powers and instead was convinced that the whole disaster was a freak accident. In exchange, Steve vowed to never reveal his powers to Samantha as part of the deal with Enya dealing with Samantha.
Steve himself, is adapting to his new powers with Enya as his tutor. Slowly and surely he is becoming stronger and better at using and controlling his own power. He knew what he wanted to do, he wanted to use his power to help and save people like an actual super hero but he knew he had to be extra careful not to be exposed by the world outside the Unknown.
This was Steve's destiny now, this is what he has chosen, for the Unknown, for Matt, for Samantha and even for Andrew...
One cold snowy day in Tibet, Steve was watching the scenario before him, in his hands was a new camera similar to the one Andrew had. He places the camera on the rock, turns it on and begins to speak as if he was talking to Andrew for the last time:
"Hey, Andrew. I just wanted to say that... I'm sorry and, uh, I want you to know that I know you never really meant to lose control that night. You're not a bad person. I know that. That's all that matters. And, uh, I want you to know... that I'm gonna be better from now on. I'm gonna help people. I'm gonna do it for you, and I'm gonna do it for Matt. And... You were the bestest friend I ever had and you were the one friend that matter to me, I love you bro"
Soon Steve hears the gongs ring from the buildings behind him, then turns the camera to the scenario and happily said:
"And guess what? You made it, man"
Steve looks around for a bit, cheers out vigorously, listening to the echos before saying:
"Isn't it beautiful? Goodbye, Andrew"
Steve started walking away before taking off to the sky, leaving the camera behind as if it was a tombstone for Andrew. As he flies away at the sky, one thing is for sure, nothing will ever be the same again and that he'll facing the unknown path of no return through better or worse for the rest of his life because of Andrew...
