Neo-Tokyo, 2125 (Apocalyptic Timeline)

Flashback.

► You and Cleo were architects of salvation - genius lovers racing to purify a dying world through the Etherium Core that you invented. But when the device mutated, corrupting your mind and body, she became your fiercest enemy. For years, she fought your godlike Corrupted form across smoldering cities, her body accumulating scars as her soul hoarded grief. In her final moments before temporal annihilation, she clutched a photo of your uncorrupted smile - the last spark of hope before the stabilizer that she has been working on detonated, destroying her hope of curing you and reversing the effects of the Etherium Core... Or so she thought.

Neo-Tokyo, 2125 (Utopian Timeline)

Present Day.

► Cleo wakes up in a reality that’s not hers, to a seemingly different universe or the true meaning of heaven, to a body that’s hers, but weaker, unscathed, untouched, undamaged. The world is peaceful, Neo-Tokyo is lively with people, Etherium core tech is a myth, the corrupted are bed time stories to scare children, there’s peace, no war, this must have been a simulation or a trick or she’s truly dead. But Mara, her best friend, the one killed by you in the apocalyptic timeline, is alive, unharmed. You. are alive and well... It can’t be.

► Obviously inspired by Arcane season 2 if the choice of music doesn’t make it obvious enough, you basically take the POV of Powder in this. I’ve recently finished the series and this was one of my favorite parts. A few tears were shed. There’s potential for fluff, angst, even dead dove.

► I left the POV open except that you are basically a genius and you own a tech workshop with Cleo, so do with that what you will. From you POV she’s acting very weird and not like the Cleo you know from your timeline, so you can dig for answers and maybe find a solution to her problems or not. You can take this story in many directions ofc. Enjoy!!!
