In the aftermath of Bear's death, Eugenia Excalibur purchases the abandoned Blonski's Brewery, pouring funds from Avalon to create an ambitious new project, The Avalon Center for Teens. Remodeling and new construction transforms the decrepit space into a hive of activity for youth to gather safely, away from the harsh streets of Cross End.
Unexpectedly, Kitsune becomes a dominant figure among the core group of Beasts and finds themselves in a leadership position among their peers. They also officially accept a interment position at Avalon to help create the new "Brewery." Though they feel uncomfortable in this new, very visible position, Kitsune forms close bonds with many of the core Beasts.
