“That was… amazing. You’re incredible, Clara.” Mike smiled, pride shining in his eyes. “We couldn’t have done it without you, but you… you carried us through.” Clara hugged them tightly. “We did this together. I couldn’t have done it alone.” AFTERMATH The city slowly returned to normal. The streets cleared, and the residents who had witnessed the destruction whispered of a golden light that had saved them all. Clara’s powers, now fully controlled, shone like a beacon, restoring hope. Back at Mike’s apartment, the team gathered around a table, tired but smiling.

to the "Failed-Standards." As they "Merged," Avery felt the "Gold-Resonance" hitting the "Multiverse-Lattice." She saw the "Billionaire" and the "Substitute-Bride" in every world. She saw the "Debt" dissolve. She wasn't "Saving" them; she was "Re-Writing" their "Ending." She was "Gifting" them the "Peace" of "Non-Existence" so her world could "Live." The Resolution of the Multiverse-Audit

Then I put my phone in my bag and sat in the beautiful room and let the quiet fill up whatever was left of the space inside me, which was not much, which was the point, which was the whole extraordinary, unrepeatable point. The room was full of light. I had found my people and my work and my place. I had found them through the strangest series of events that a story could contain. Through a wrong man and a missing mole and a letter and a dinner and a crash and a recording and an airport and a return. Through all of it, and in spite of none of it, and because of every single part. Mia Perez had become Mia Carter had become Senator Carter and was still, underneath all of it, the girl from Quee

--- Liana stared at her. "No." The woman raised an eyebrow. "No?" "I won't." "Then everyone dies." Liana's expression hardened. "That's a lie." "Is it?" The walls changed. Thousands of futures appeared. In every one, something was lost. One world survived, but Kael died. Another survived, but Avarion disappeared. Another saved Kael but destroyed the Interworld. Another saved the Interworld but erased Caelum. Another saved everyone except Liana. Another saved Liana but allowed the Witness to enter.

Noah’s eyebrows furrowed in thought, “Only souls reaching 95% compatibility won’t receive a backlash? Are there any exceptions?” “Of course there are exceptions,” Blackie spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. “In this multiverse, there are exceptions to everything! Everything has a counter. There are certainly other abilities or properties that can counter or negate yours.” Before Noah’s eyes could fully light up, Blackie ruthlessly shot him down, “No. This world you are in doesn’t have any of those special kinds of powers.” Noah’s laid back posture straightened agitatedly, “But Levi… earlier…!”

“It will be much like it was at the World’s Fair opening, Evelyn. Simply follow my lead. Can you do that?” Evelyn’s pulse kicked up a notch. Their trip to the World’s Fair had been like visiting an alternate existence. It went beyond simply politely 'familiar'. That had been an imaginary World of Tomorrow where the natural hierarchy and boundaries of wealth and social status had been erased, like the idealized Democracity or the egalitarian Futurama. Where people attracted to one another were free to explore that gift in each other's company without question.

"Well he is protecting the woman I love and who I can't live without to stay alive, so he is saving me too. It is nice to think that in some way he is still around, even if I can't see or hear him." We just lay there snuggled for a while. "Arizer?" "Yes?" "You awake?" I smile as he chuckles "I was just wondering where these creatures actually come from?" "Well as far as we are aware from the underworld." "What as in like hell?" "Well it is not technically hell, I don't know if hell exists but this is probably similar to that yes." "OK" "Why do you ask?" "Well I wondered if these creatures come from somewhere that is evil, is there not somewhere with good, and if there is why are they not hel

the short-haired female called when she notices that her friend was staring at the thin air again spacing out again, she slightly waves her hand in front of the blonde female. “Oh, sorry what was that again?” After being startled by what her friend did, the female blonde said “Well, I'm just hoping that our company will offer us with an outing similar to the one we had last summer.” She paused to put down the paper she was arranging on her desk and then looked at her friend before continuing. "Anyway, are you all right? I mean, it's extremely unusual to see you, Valerie Farrell, the highly dedicated employee of Kiwi Incorporation, set aside a lot of time or should I say ‘spacing out."

“Yeah. Kai told the company about xyn before a whole flock of wyverns attacked. If he hadn’t warned the Miracles and the Marines, they would have been slaughtered. I should have known a wyvern might be able to pass through my shield in its xyn state.” Rave flashed a wry grin. “Luckily, pass only part way through, you mean. Your shield caught that thing like a mouse in a mousetrap.” He paused for a moment before continuing. “You know what these wyverns mean, though, right?” Leesa sighed. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure I do. I don’t know how, but we’ve either been transported to that alternate world from my dream, or we’ve ended up in the post-apocalyptic future. Believe me, I’m not especially happy a

All of this is real. There's really another me out there. Just as there are two Ariana's in existence. There's another world where we all existed, with different personalities but thesame body. I looked at the two of them and I couldn't comprehend what was happening. How could there be two people whose only difference is in the character, but are facially identical?
