She takes a mental image of Katarina standing over a defeated Doctor Doom, his armor shattered. An adoring Jez is... tastefully draped over the princess. Infusing this image with a feeling of triumph, Sam turns it too in on itself, wrapping it around until it's a single light above the darkness.

One Week Later...
The Victorious Princess Katarina smiled at the smoking remains of the Defeated Dictator Doom lying before her, giving him one final kick with her foot to make sure that yes, he was well and truly defeated, smiling at his groaning. The Grateful Lover Jez pulled herself up on Katarina's shoulders, smiling as she pressed her body against the princess. Victory and peace, as Katarina wrapped her arm around Jez's waist and pulled her in...
And everything rewound...
The Grateful Lover Katarina supported the Victorious Prince Doom, his royal finery torn and tattered from the aftermath of the battle. But it had been worth it -- the Defeated Dictator Jezabelle lay on the ground, moaning, her leather catsuit ripped and burnt. Katarina reached down, cupping Doom's handsome face, and brought it up to her own lips...
And everything rewound...
The Victorious Dictator Jezabelle yanked the chain wrapped around the Captive Prince Doom's throat, yanking him to his feet before her. A smirk curled her lips as she dragged him away from the Damaged Lover Katarina, her golden body dented beyond all possible repair...
And everything rewound...
The Victorious Dictator Katarina laughed at the bruised and bloodied body of the Defeated Prince Doom lying before her. The Loyal Lover Jezabelle wrapped her arms around Katarina's waist, slipping her hands inside Katarina's leather catsuit as the two celebrated their victory...
And everything rewound...
