Chapter 16 | Page 23a: Dimensional Doppelgänger Drama  (Patreon)

Cassie Cruz may have cleared her name and outed the mole at Evil Inc’s Fairmount Branch, but the fallout is far from over. Angus the minotaur is still lost in a literary nightmare, Justice Ltd is making quiet threats from the sidelines, and now… there are two Lightning Ladies in the same apartment.

One is the original — charged with power and purpose. The other is her alternate-universe counterpart — barefoot, smug, and every bit as dangerous.

Lethal Librarian watches from below, waiting to see which storm takes the other down first — the air hums. Sparks fly.

This isn’t just a clash of powers — it’s a duel for identity. And there’s no room in this timeline for both.
