Loop End: (Turn 4/???)
There is something you feel as different as you follow the woman. The energy around you was not the same as that of the rest of the city, or even in the room. It was powerful, primordial, and broken. Something that was so powerful, that it was impossible to really comprehend.
"I…" your head hurt, as you looked at the thing, and then you felt her push.
"Quit falling behind, the boss wants to see us." The woman said forcefully, as she pushed you in front of her, feeling the electricity jolt through your body.
You blinked as you took a moment to think, trying to find your voice that was now lost.
The Energy you feel around you… it is not a natural energy that you remember. Not Magic or even technology. It is something far more powerful than that.
Far more powerful than your mind can comprehend.
"What is this?" You asked.
The Woman seems to lose her temper.
"Oh, I thought you could help us out, Chris?" Another voice said as you blinked, looking at the other gathered assortment of people that were there.
There were three, including the woman—all wearing silly costumes and had strange symbols that were on their arms, bleeding through the fabric.
The first was a man of ebony, his costume the same color as what little skin you could see from his skin from his fingers, his face completely covered by a mask. His piercing eyes were emerald green, and each blink was like it was stealing life force from you.
It was The Greatest Villain of the World, The President of Evil, so many titles, that it was hard to really keep count.
Jason Lincoln. Or as the Public knows him: Infinity.
Clue Gained: Infinity: The Greatest Villain in the world is involved in this?
The second was a woman, a woman that was dressed in a nice tuxedo, with red coloring all around, not even her shoes were left out of that. But it was her eyes, blank, black orbs that stared deeply into the soul that made you shiver. Made you want to leave. To die.
It was like staring into The Abyss. And the Abyss was staring back.
She was not human. She was…
The Human language does not have a single word for her. Save one. Mistress Hell.
Even though it was two words. Most people are stupid.
Clue Gained: Mistress Hell: A Being of infinite age and mortality, having taken human form to prevent the world from going insane. She is regarded as the last significant threat to all existence.
And the other woman you could not recognize.
You looked at the two villains and you blinked once. "I-"
Infinity took a moment to stop you, placing a finger on your mouth as he shushed. "Chris, the detective, is dead?"
You raised a questioning eyebrow. "I don't know?"
"Strange." He said as he rubbed his chin, even though his hands did not seem to move. Then you saw the energy radiating from his finger tips. "An infinitesimal chance for the loop to be broken, and you do not know if he is dead?"
You nodded. "I don't remember anything."
That made the Villain take a moment to look at his compatriots. "Is it possible?"
Mistress Hell nodded. "No. His body was vaporized when we started the process. He could not have survived."
"But Chris was in the Blast Radius, it was a miracle that he survived… is it possible-" The woman then stopped. "Wait stop-"
Then the world went dark.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tired eyes greeted you as you saw the Detective. You saw his hair, silverish and dyed, with a purple jacket and orange tie. Dressed well and dressed in a terrible fashion sense.
He smiled at you. "Remember yet Chris?"
You blinked. "How."
"Complicated. Really complicated." He said. "Thankfully, because my mind was turned into a magical prison, I just… hopped into your body, saving myself, and well, trapping you into this." He then paused as he then chuckled. "But it seems it has made you immune to the energy's effect. And you are still conscious."
"Who am I?" You asked.
"Chris Gladstone. A Shaper. You can shapeshift your body to suit your environment. Clothing fiber, heat regulation… all that fun stuff. Your mother is Christine Gladstone. The woman who tried to save you after you were murdered. You both were part of Infiniy's Crew to steal and use the Galdron Reactor, to harness it into Mistress Hell's cosmic powers to rewrite reality. Obviously, it failed. Instead, it only… stopped reality itself. Or in your case, looping it."
"Why… I was a supervillain?"
"Yes." Arthur Arc Replied, as the memory came flooding back.
"Did I kill you?" You asked.
"In a manner of speaking," Arthur replied. "You were having second thoughts."
"I was?" You asked.
"That's what you told me." He replied. "But it seems that there is something I'm missing. Something that I need your help with?"
"What do you mean, me?" You asked.
"You broke a clock." The only clock that matters.
You remembered your clock in the apartment. "But… How did that happen?"
"There was no clock, I was trying to help you. Things you remember are like details that were changed to fit my own perception." Arthur said. "But even I'm not perfect."
"What about Traveler?" You asked. "She was in my apartment?"
Arthur nodded, sad and wistful. "Yes. She was. She tried to stop you, but you knocked her out. And now she's stuck."
"How can I stop this loop?" You asked.
"We just have to solve the mystery." Arthur said.
"What Mystery?" You asked.
Arthur shrugged. "I don't know. That's something you need to remember."
-------------------------------------------------------------
You awoke in your apartment.
Loop 2… You are conscious again. Time to get to work.

[]Details: You need to remember the job… And why… Why? It was a hole in your memory.
