not having the crew turn hostile due to a lack of concern for their mental health [like, say, leavin em in suspense for their secret identities] would be great

you are incredibly late to the party, yeah - echidna cloned GU and jack slash, but not before cloning phir se and absorbing a time travelling version of herself, which boosted her power

Man timetravel is a pain in the ass
JackknifeBOT03-Mar-21 05:59 PM
"She quickly amassed an army, including clones of the triumvirate. Things got so bad that people began to pull out all the stops."
"The Birdcage was emptied and an international call for help were made to fill out the ranks."
Of course, that just meant that clones of rather more dangerous individuals were being made.

"And, after some time, another created an effect across the battlefield, sending Ciara and probably a whole lot of other people back in time."
randomhuman4403-Mar-21 06:34 PM
now that you're laying it all out it sounds incredibly contrived
like the author of your story kinda just half-assed a deus ex machina to send you back in time
JackknifeBOT03-Mar-21 06:34 PM
"The powers of the clones are somewhat altered from the originals, which is why Ciara makes copies of capes instead of killing them to take their powers."

Limina Idling | Hours03-Mar-21 08:20 PM
forcing bakuda into a fugue state so she's more easily restrained and disarmed, potentially cannibalizing her own tech, would work as a takedown method
we aren't 'standing by', we're gathering info to stop this at the source and not charging in like glory girl
