Alice
Her face.. It was one thing to see the rude mirror version of myself outside of the mirror, but this was... "You have really pretty eyes.." I muttered, unsure of what else to say.
"Thank you.. You too." Elizabeth replied slowly. The girl was blushing profusely, though I wasn't sure if it was because of the compliment or because I was naked.
Carefully, without speaking anything more, the two of us began to slowly circle each other, examining the other as we thought to ourselves.
"Can I?.." Elizabeth whispered sheepishly.
"Of course." I smiled back at her, knowing exactly what she meant. As far as history goes, I didn't actually know that much about Elizabeth, other than the details outlined in her profile within the cube. From what I could gather, it seemed the older woman was by all means, very reserved.
I gasped and moaned a little from the soft squeeze of her hand on one of my tits. They were huge now, heavy as hell too but I could manage without a bra for long enough.. In fact, I didn't think I really needed one. My tits felt really... Really good. I easily lost myself in the sensation as usual, but I managed to bring my attention back to my.. Former self? "What do you think?" I asked, catching her off guard.
Elizabeth didn't say anything at first. Slowly pulling her hand away from my massive orbs of perfection. The blush on her face had increased drastically and I struggled to hold back a laugh but I tried my best to be polite. I was genuinely curious, considering that we clearly shared many similarities, but still were drastically different from each other. Almost like sisters.
"They're.. Soft.. I like them.. But, I don't think I could handle that kind of body.. Everyone would be looking at me and-"
"Elizabeth, you are adorable." I chuckled with a warm smile while reaching out to pat her on the head. She nearly recoiled at first, but Elizabeth nodded and leaned into my hand.
"Winston was the only person who knew I liked that.."
"Winston.. You mean.." I racked my brain to put the pieces together. Timelines and history were so screwed up just in my own head, trying to sift through it all should've been difficult, at least I assumed so. However, the typical sensation of being overwhelmed by compounding information felt entirely absent for some reason.
"He's my boyfriend.. Or he was.. I-... I'm sorry for everything that's happened to you. To us.." Elizabeth visibly relaxed when I shook my head, we were both smart enough to understand each other despite our differences. Even if our mentalities weren't mostly congruent like with Mirror Alice, we were still the same person in many ways.
"How is this possible? The cube is.. but wait, I shouldn't be able to think right? I'd been dumb my whole life.." I shivered. The new timeline created by Millie's last ditch attempt to destroy me.. It wasn't as solid as the other timelines, but I could still remember it.
"Arc, he fixed you." Elizabeth sighed. "He's the one who brought me here. Pulled me out of time or something, he's kind of like uh..."
"God?" Ryan said finally speaking up.
I was about to say something except my attention had been taken by an oddly palpable sensation pressing at me, like some kind of ethereal force.. It was overwhelming one second, and completely gone the next.
"Me." A warm voice I'd never heard before called out from somewhere nearby without a clear source. Then just as suddenly, they appeared out of thin air, having stepped out from behind literally nothing as if turning a corner. The new stranger seemed.. Normal, like just a normal guy. He looked like he could be a bit younger than me, maybe early to mid-twenties? His eyes were as dark as his fluffy black hair which wasn't big enough to be an afro. In fact, it seemed rather messy, much like his olive green pants which were somewhat covered in fresh dirt around the knees. Other than that, he wore worn tennis shoes and a faded red sweater; the guy was handsome at least, but otherwise entirely ordinary.
"Sorry for the mud, I was just gardening before I noticed things going haywire over here." Arc apologized rather unnecessarily while rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway, I know you're all really wanting answers; ask away-"
"Bring her back!!"
I screamed after realizing that this.. This guy, was responsible for all of this, the universe was fucking GONE and he wanted to have a fucking Q&A!? I was pissed as hell, but mostly I just wanted Mei Lin.
Everyone else was visibly shook by my outburst. Arc most of all, given by how hard he jumped, though the man relaxed surprisingly quickly.
"I can assure you Alice, I am already working on it. Normally this would be a snap of the fingers, but an infinite amount of continuity errors is going to take a few minutes." Arc explained patiently, I felt the gaze of his eyes reflecting genuine empathy at me.
"You better." I grumbled like a pouty child, sniffling. Everything I've been through was because of him, he caused this.. Or was it Millie? Where did she even go?
"Millie left this universe already. The Infinity Cube had two main void components which allowed it to function as it had. Including a small fraction of my own, of which was stolen by Heliya who took Millie with her."
"So.. She's gone?" Elizabeth spoke up with a somewhat forlorn expression. It made me wonder just how close the two were before..
"Yes, and I can't track them down for now." Arc sighed, putting his hands in his pockets and beginning to slowly walk around the empty space.
"Wait but you're like.. God right?" Ryan asked, looking about just as confused as I felt annoyed at the situation.
Arc shrugged, "If that's what works for you. In truth, I'm just a normal guy or at least I used to be. One day I ended up ascending to the highest form of existence. It's kind of a long story, but I can't maintain the local omniverse and exist as an individual simultaneously. Even after ascending my human consciousness still has its limits; spread myself too thin and I'd have nothing left to think with."
