So some of you wanted an epilogue...I'm sorry to say it's not about the 'Bots (oh no, they find out in their own way...). This one takes five years after the rest of the story, so Raf would be 18.

Epilogue

5 Years Later

"You're sure you're ready for this?" Mrs. Esquivel asked as she straightened her eighteen-year old's tie.

"I'm ready," Raf smiled, "Trust me…I've been through worse,"

"But you're…you're…" she closed her eyes, tears streaming.

Raf put a hand on her shoulder, tears streaming from his own blue-brown gaze.

"I'll be fine," he reassured her, "I'll always be your son. But I've got to know this family as well,"

"I know," she whispered, holding her son's face, "I just feel like I am losing my baby,"

"They lost their baby too, Mama," Raf murmured, "I'm eighteen, an adult…it's time for me to find my way,"

She nodded and embraced him one last time.

"I love you forever, my son," she sobbed, burying her head in his chest.

"And I love you even more," Raf smiled, "I promise, I'll come visit. I promise,"

He heard soft footsteps and looked up to see Alan and Flynn both coming towards them.

"Hey, kiddo," Flynn smiled.

Raf straightened up to his full five foot eleven height and smiled back.

"Hi Grandpa, hi Alan,"

"You ready?" Alan asked, "They're waiting for you,"

Raf nodded and turned towards his adopted family.

"Let's go,"

"So, we've heard rumors that you two had a child," the interviewer said, looking at Sam and Quorra, "Five years ago, you wouldn't answer us…why now?"

"Because we're ready," Sam answered, "And not just us…but he's ready too,"

"So the rumors are true?"

"Very true," Quorra nodded, "In fact…"

She and Sam turned towards the door, right as Alan and Raf walked in. The boy had changed since they had first met him. He had hit a huge growth spurt, towering over his mother and slightly past his father. His eyes had thin lines of blue running through them, but those had manifested from his time in the Grid, pale diamonds of ice blue crisscrossing through the brown that his eyes had taken on in his early years.

Raf sat down between Quorra and Sam, looking around nervously an blinking rapidly behind his glasses. He calmed down a bit when Quorra embraced him and Sam patted him on the back.

"I'd like to introduce you all, to Rafael Esquivel…also known as Rafael Flynn," Sam said.

And Gridlock is finished! Thank you all for staying with me on this wild ride. I put up a companion story to this one Tron: Primed, it's going to be focusing more on the Grid and the rest of the Tron world. If you guys want more...check out Another Type of Star: Shadow and Flame...and sometime later this year my take on the 4th Bayverse movie. I know it doesn't have the kids, but I'm remaking the movie :). Let's just say, Raf makes his way back to the Grid...but he's not the only thing from the outside world to come...someone who has a grudge against the little Half-ISO and has just found the Grid. Any guesses?

Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please R&R! :)
