Things you ought to know:

-Clarence Vanderweele has been arrested under a court of law.
-Retrospec as a company has been shut down entirely and its operations are being restructured. The company has disbanded due to illegal practice.
-I'm not a lawyer or a cop, so the legal jargon is lost on me.

All I can say is that with this, everything should go back to normal now. No more weird illusions, no more destruction in the city, no more magic floating around.

And no more job for me. So I'm thinking...some of tech and I are going to do this the right way. Open our own operations, work on a volunteer basis, fix what was undone with the energy harvested by Vanderweele and put things back the way they were.

That is to say...you could have your old life back if you wanted. Or you can keep going. Keep growing. Keep regaining things. We'd be monitoring things more closely without the interference of outside forces.

It'll take some time to get up and running again, so consider this a break? We need permits and research and to strike a deal with the BBB, I guess.

I owe you guys for what you've done and the work you've put in the last year that I've been on board. So...whatever you need, may as well claim it now before the end. You know where to find me.

Catch you later, Retrospecters.

FINALLY.

Wipe my memory clean, reset me, I don't care. Free me from this and it'll really be over!

What were you like before you got Retrospec anyway? I didn't know you before the app. Are you more personable?

No.

Pity. Just don't have me run into you after your mind gets wiped where I am collecting your DNA samples at a crime scene. Please stay out of my work life.

[Derek's roundabout way of saying, "Please don't cause trouble."]

Sounds like you don't want a job anymore, with that kind of attitude.

I didn't know you cared. Are you planning to make sure I stay employed?

I don't want to ruin the surprise.

As flattering as your service would be, I respectfully decline and ask you to contribute positively to society, not negatively.

Society needs to contribute something positive to me, first.

It's card Karma.

My point still stands.

Would it kill you to do something good?

Probably.

Ever thought of risking it? Like a sort of adventure? "How much good can I do before I start dying?"

Well, the Chief is keeping me on the case. I wasn't sure if I was going to be kicked off for conflict of interest, but, near a fifth of our staff turns out to have been involved at some point over the last two and a half years. Count me out for any personal recompense, but I'm here for the duration for everyone else.

As for any civil followup, I'm looking to Mr. Murdock. I think you've got some backup from a few other people who suddenly remember being on the app.

That world is still not my world. It's right there, but it's still not mine. But there's a little girl up there who exists now, thanks to all of us.

So, thank you. From him, and from me.

Even thank you, too, Zee.

Thanks a lot. I guess you got what you wanted, too, huh? Retrospec is going away, and no one has to go back to normal who doesn't want to. This is probably the best way things could turn out for everyone.

[It feels odd, for someone who's always supported Retrospec. But she thinks of Poison Ivy, experimented on before she even knew it, a former delinquent who might have become a villain in another life if not for Principal Waller. Then she thinks of Mr. Tsushima, who shot down the hope she'd always depended on, that they'd inevitably go back to their old lives and she couldn't screw it up, but who was just afraid that he wouldn't have the choice to be a good person. And the officer himself, always talking about prosecuting Retrospec and punishing them like what they'd done was bad. Maybe it was.]

I'm going back home now. I mean, not -- you know. Even Retrospec can't bring Krypton back. But to the Earth with Super Hero High and my friends and my dog and Aunt Martha's mashed potatoes and the Capes & Cowls Cafe where Steve lets me order the weirdest drink combinations because it tastes like space food. But if everyone I lost here has their memories back now, I can't really leave Recollé behind either. So, uh, if you need anything?

Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Carlisle. And everyone else, too. ...is there anything I can do for you guys? To fix anything?

WE DID IT!

Now, didn't we say something about a pay day? :)

And...I like to keep my magic and keep growing, there are other threats out there, plus, I like my magic, sue me.

But, at the meantime we should have AN EPIC AS HELL PARTY!

As long as you don't burn down Mom and Dad's house.

I won't.

And, Congrats! Is there anything I can get you for your wedding?

Yes. Too many memories still missing. I still don't know everything about Draco I want to know.

And we haven't gotten to the registry yet.

Edited 2019-06-19 02:37 (UTC)

Even after all this time?

Huh, that's odd, but I wonder how much more magic we can get.

7 years of wizarding school and adult life.

Fair enough.

Hopefully I'll remember if we did anything against those Al-Tharman bastards, since they are back in the mix now.

The who now?

Remember Judar?

He works for them, and they want to destroy all of existence to free themselves from fate.

That megalomaniac? Eesh!

Yeah, I don't remember IF we managed to deal with them or not, so there's that to worry about.

Their cult could be working on behalf of some Unreality being, but that's just me guessing.

Seems like both of our other selves had to deal with crazy radical groups.

Was yours a secret group too?

Despite Judar shouting about it, I'm not sure many people in my world knew about them unless you were directly involved.

I'm going to keep going. I don't have all of Draco's memories back and I am curious as to what happens to him. How did he go from bring a brat, to a scared blackmailed teenager, to a decent father?

Besides, the cat if finally starting to like the owl. Took him long enough.

Also, I'm in the middle of planning a wedding, so if I suddenly forgot everything an my personality changes drastically again on my fiance... she won't be happy.
