Epilogue:

Twenty years after we moved the Universe, I met Bubbles in a cafe.  Well
she was dressed as Miyako at the time, obviously.  Same old Blue.  She was
sitting there in a frilly yellow dress and waved me over.

I took off my sunglasses (purely for style obviously) and put them in my
vest pocket, "What's the news?  Did Momoko get a new boyfriend?"

"That wouldn't be news, Ms. Kaoru."

"I guess not.  She's go through so many thrills that it's a wonder she
hasn't been caught doing bestiality."

"Technically, we're not even mammals."

"Point taken.  I surrender,"  I held up my hands,  "So what's the big
news?"  I picked up the cup of tea she had obviously ordered for me.

"Taka-chan is cheating on me."

I put down the cup, "You don't look so upset."

"He's a good man.  He deserves children.  That's the one thing I can't
offer him."

"Not in any good way.  So knowing you, this isn't being left to chance?"

"Of course not.  I sneaked in and replaced her birth control pills."

"So how is this going to work, with you, him, her and the baby?"

"I suppose I'd best be hit by a truck or something.  I haven't worked out
the details yet," She looked up at the TV, which had cut to a news flash,
"Why does that hussy reporter always have to chase after monster stories?
Taka-chan has already introduced me as his wife, so could you?"

"Let me see if I have this straight.  I've got a picnic with Hitomi on one
of her rare days off and you want me to cancel out of that so I can go save
your rival from certain doom just so she can steal your husband away from
you?"

"If you would please."

"I'll add it to the tab you owe me, but all this sneaking around, messing
with peoples' lives, doesn't it remind you of somebody?"

"I only do it to help people."

"Yeah, I bet Nyarlathotep started out the same way."

Miyako just looked down at the table and said nothing.

There it was.  I had used the N-word on her.  We both knew that canceled
out what she owed me, and I'd be busy the next few years working off this
new debt as her errand girl.

I walked out of the cafe, turned a corner, switched outfits and leapt into
the sky.  I had a monster to go beat up.  I didn't want to slow down enough
to talk on a phone so I tapped into the cellphone network electronically
and told Hitomi I'd gotten called into work.  That wasn't a power that
Buttercup was supposed to have, but time was pressing.
