It was time to prepare for the trials. Since the arrest of the Chissian army members and Sonny's recovery, Corso spent his time going over his statements. The conversation that Sonny had scheduled with Duke Maddox, was carried out. As was the talks with Bleylocks son. All the while, Sonny tried to help Corso with his newly discovered Flux abilities. That was a real pain in the ass. He struggled to even summon his Flux. He couldn't control it. This frustrated Corso. Sonny shook his head as he watched Corso try, over and over again. He wanted this so bad, but pushing too hard kept the Flux just out of reach. Corso had to relax.
A few days later, Corso came out of their sauna. As he did, Sonny led him over to the massage bench and told him to lie down. Corso looked suspicious at him.
"I don't have time for this." He said. Sonny just smiled and pointed to the bench.
"You had time for the sauna and the sweat out in there, Then you make time for lie down as well." He ordered. "If you have time for a sauna, you have time for this too." Sonny concluded as he prepared some oils. Corso sighed but did as he was asked. Sonny took some oil and spread it on Corso's back. Corso sighed, getting massaged by his fiance like this, felt like carefully activated his Flux as Corso finally relaxed. Sonny smiled. He had no idea how the healing factor of his Flux worked, but that would soon change.

It was tense inside the Court room. Reporters from all corners of the Galaxy where there. This involved Technoid's upper echelons so of course they were. It involved multiple hostile take overs.
Famous Pirates and Paladins would give their testimonies. Sonny Blackbones himself was listed as a key witness.
Sonny looked calm and collected as he gave his detailed testimony. Sonny had sent a small nod to Maddox as he did so.
Duke Maddox nodded back, knowing this would make sure his enemies would be put behind bars.
Callie was in charge of making sure the galaxy learned the truth of what had happened.
The first day was explosive. Sonny had responded to Jar'Eel's request for his side of the story to his father's journals. Sonny corrected many of Bleylock's accounts with his own. It had been devastating for Jar'Eel to find out he'd been lied to all this time. His mother also sided with Sonny. This broke him even more and when Jar'Eel and Sonny passed each other in the court room, Jar'Eel launched at Sonny in a fit of rage. Sonny managed to keep him down as he was escorted to his cell. When Sonny was done, the day was over, and they returned home where Corso had prepared dinner for them. He looked at them as they came inside.
"How did things go?" He asked as he served everyone a bowl of stew.
"It was terrible. I taught it would never end.I am glad the pirates never stood trial like that. The spectacle around it is just...mindboggling" Sonny said, as he emptied a tall glass of water. Callie agreed. She had kicked her high heels, rubbing her feet.
"My feet are killing me. Tomorrow I will wear flats" She groaned. Corso smiled as he sat down with his plate.
"I'll make a foot bath for you Callie. I got some herbs that may help your feet" He smiled. Callie leaned over to kiss him.
"That would be wonderful Corso." She admitted. Corso looked at Sonny.
"What about you Sonny? Are you in need of some tender love and care as well?" He asked.
"If you could help with my neck, that'd be great Corso. I feel as if its a timber log in there, not muscles" Sonny said. Corso chuckled.
"Consider it done. After that, I will need to prepare for tomorrow. It's my turn to give statement against Lieutenant Marshall. Never thought I would see my own this way. I always saw myself as a soldier who just obeyed orders. That now feels so long ago." He said. Sonny noticed the change in Corso's mood and took his hand.
"Please don't let it eat you up alive. Just testify and everything will be fine." Sonny said. Corso looked at him.
"Tomorrow is Montague's turn. I don't trust him after what he did." He said. Sonny wasn't so sure about what Corso was saying.
"Professor Montague won't be a problem Corso. He's scared out of his wits when he learned what he was helping with. He's a smart man. We might even need him." Sonny assured him. Corso nodded and ate. As soon as they were done, they all put away the dirty dishes, and went to the bedroom for a comforting night.

The following day, Corso woke up first. Sonny kept on sleeping but Callie rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"Good morning Corso. Did you sleep well?" She asked as she reached for her bathrobe.
"Like a rock. Sonny might need a bit longer, though." Corso teased. Callie chuckled.
"Let him sleep. He had a rough day last night. he needs some extra sleep." Callie said. Corso chuckled as he got out of bed and into his bathrobe.
"Lets get a shower and get ready. I am trying to calm my nerves before I head out. Here's to hoping Marshall won't freak out on me like Jar'Eel did on Sonny yesterday." Corso sighed. Callie looked at him with compassion as she got out of bed.
"Lets take that shower to get you ready." She said as she turned on the water. Corso sighed as the warmth hit his neck, easing his muscles. Corso felt Callie knead his neck, before he felt a pair of other hands take over, followed by a kiss to the cheek.
"Glad you could join us Sonny." Corso sighed as he leaned into Sonny's hands.
After they all got out, they started to get dressed. Callie finished first.
"I'll put on the coffee. You handsome gents get yourselves ready." She winked at them. Once she was gone, Sonny kissed Corso deeply. Corso couldn't resist kissing back, sliding his hands through Sonny's wet hair and down his neck. Sonny had a sly expression on his face as he broke the kiss.
"Let's relax a bit before you have to go out." He said with a small wink. Corso just smirked, leaning in. He loved Sonnys idea of relaxation for sure.

This day was just as eventful as yesterday. Corso was waiting for his turn, thinking over just how the hell he got here, having once been such a loyal Chissian soldier.
When the warden came to get him, Corso knew Sonny and Clamp would be in the courtroom. This eased his mind a bit. He was sworn in and started his explanation.

It was finally over. Miller was punished severely for the abduction of Sonny, despite trying to claim it happened when Sonny was still a wanted man.
Even the bounty hunter Keiran testified against him, in exchange for a lighter sentence. Miller would be in prison for a long while.
Marshall was also punished severely, together with his unit, by the Chissian government, who denied any involvement. Corso knew that wasn't true but he also knew he couldn't fight them. Not at this point.

Corso and Callie started organizing a surprise party for Sonny's birthday. This wasn't easy to do. Sonny could pick up when people were keeping things from him, so they had to be careful. With Duke Maddox' help, Corso managed to track down some old Technoid friends of Sonny, so he could see them again. Sonny didn't suspect a thing.
When the night came, Corso and Callie led him into a rented place where his former coworkers and friends were hiding.
"You two want to tell me what you planned?" Sonny asked with a smile when they stopped clearly suspected something was up. Corso and Callie looked at him.
"We wanted to give you a chance to relive some good parts of your past. stop being so suspicious, this is going to be a fun time for you, I promise" Corso explained with a small smile. Sonny smiled back.
"What did you two do?" He asked again. Callie and Corso just shared a smile.

A little while later, the party was in full swing. Sonny was having a great time with former friends and co workers. Callie And Corso spoke with Clamp as they observed him with his old friends. Sonny was laughing and smiling, they even played a few brain games, dividing the guests into teams.
"I'm so glad we did this. He looks so happy seeing all his old friends." Corso smiled, noticing Sonnys team scored a point in the duel. Callie agreed.
"He's happy and safe. What more can we ask for?" She said.
The rest of the night, they both got to meet Sonny's friends from a distant did get some teasing about having double the trouble with two spouses, but he didnt much care. That was how he wanted it. As the party came to an end, Sonny pulled them both in for a kiss.
"Thanks for all this. I love it." He said. Callie and Corso smiled because of a job well done. Sonny looked at both of them.
"Six weeks until we get married. You two should organize the reception. Just remember there will be Royalty present." Sonny reminded them. Corso looked at him.
"You mean Solaris and Zoltar?" He asked. Sonny nodded.
"Not to mention the King and Queen. So this isn't exactly going to be a small affair." He said, winking at Corso. Corso sighed.
"I'll manage. Just let Callie and me handle this and things will be fine."

Callie looked at her dress. Beautiful, especially the jewelry. Mei had done an awesome job with her makeup. She looked like a star. Since she had no surviving relatives, Noork, her coworker through many years, would walk her down the aisle. Aaron had also been really supportive the last few weeks. Now, the big day was finally here. Callie smiled as Aaron stepped inside. He smiled.
"It's time, your two adoring husbands are waiting for you." He chuckled. Callie smiled as she stood up, Mei in tow and drove off to the venue.

The priest smiled as the three exchanged rings and kisses. A long time ago, he preformed the wedding service for I'Son and Helena. Both times, he chose his spouses wisely. these people, all of them would be the protectors, supporters and voice of reason that Sonny needed around him. Sonny stood in the middle, Callie to his left, Corso to the right, and turned to their guests. They raised their hands that bore the wedding rings as a sign. The priest could only smile as he heard the entire church erupt in loud cheers.

At the wedding reception, they chose to open the gifts in front of all of their guests. Callie smiled. What was gifted always came in three, so they all had their special item. Duke Maddox gave them a state-of-the-art professional programmed chef droid. Sonny chuckled as he saw the thin robot. Corso gave him a look that told him they wouldn't be using it at home. Sonny knew where his husband was coming from and agreed. The Trio sang a special song, just for the three of them. There was something that seemed changed with Solaris, and Corso was first to notice. He turned to Callie.
"Something's different about Solaris." Corso smiled as he snuck a kiss at the same time. Callie looked at Zoltar. He had recovered a great deal from they last saw him on Stellar Unix and was a very handsome young man. Zoltar made his way over to them.
"It's a good feeling to tie the knot, isn't it?" He asked.
"Thanks prince Zoltar. So when do we get to celebrate you and your wifes little one?" Sonny asked. Zoltar beamed with pride.
"It actually two Sonny, and they are due in just a few had to step down a bit, but she's handling it with grace. I'm so proud of her." He smiled.
As they continued opening the gifts, the King and Queen approached the happy threesome. Sonny, Callie and Corso stood up and bowed respectfully. King Aldoor smiled. He and The Queen had a special gift made for them. Three special bracelets with their names engraved on it, made from a metal only found on their planet. Sonny looked at the Queen.
He could hear her voice inside his head.
"Yes Sonny,This will connect you three in a way you can communicate telepathically with each other. That way, you'll always be there for each other.'
Corso looked at his bracelet.
"I'll ask about this later, much later. For now, let's celebrate." He smiled, looking at his ring. Callie also smiled, putting her bracelet on.
"Same goes for me. Let's save questions for later."
Sonny put his on, and he finally felt at peace, ready to start the life with his two spouses. It was all over. He could finally live without fear…

Brim Balarius had been in a meditative state for days. Time at The Flux Society was slow in peace time. Not that it would be much longer… Soon, he would be able to finalize his own plans. Well, not his… Things never really were his own plans. From birth, he had been a pawn to a much larger scheme. He just hoped that Sonny Blackbones wouldn't interfere. His Masters would be none too pleased. Especially with the allies he now had. Sonny was untouchable. And with his mastery of Flux, a threat. Then again, the threat that was coming was nothing they'd ever seen. Brim Balarius, knew the Fluxes origins. The seed of Shiloh was born from the destruction of a planet.
Him having married both Corso and Callie, made him stronger though. He had something to fight for now. Brim Balarius was about to end his session, when he found himself surrounded by dark figures. A chill ran down his spine. His masters…
"What do you want?" He asked. The shadowy figures came closer.
"Your time is up. We created you for one goal and you have failed that goal. We'll have someone replace you." A voice commanded. Brim Balarius took a few steps back, frightened at this point.
"Not yet! I-I just need a little more time, please." He begged. The shadowy figure seemed to think it over. Then, he slowly nodded.
"Six months. If I don't see results, you're gone." He said. Cracks appeared in the orb surrounding Balarius. He rushed back to his private quarters before anyone could notice what happened...things were moving. And soon, they would fall into place…
