In the [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|home universe]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]], a particularly reckless version of [[Jenny Everywhere]] from 1960s [[London]], “Miss Laura Drake” worked in the P.R. office of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]]. Jenny often went through her when trying to get in touch with the Taskforce, nearly always causing Laura unlikely headaches such as how to hide a submarine in the [[West India Docks]]. Despite their tense working relationship, Jenny managed to talk Laura into going on dates with her on multiple occasions, although, owing to the time period, they had to be discreet about it. On one occasion, Jenny phoned Laura ''ahead'' of time to warn her that she was about to do [[Godzilla|something extremely outrageous]] and the Taskforce had better stand ready to “deny any involvement”. The two then agreed to meet up the next Friday at the [[Piccadilly Circus]] tube station and walk for a while until they found a restaurant that tickled their fancy.

Jenny and Laura had another date in Soho on [[Epiphany]]. It was interrupted by the appearance of [[Jenny Everywhere | Jenny and Laura had another date in Soho on [[Epiphany]]. It was interrupted by the appearance of [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|another version]] of Jenny, the first Laura Drake learned of Cornelius's multidimensional nature. Despite her confusion at the situation, her good manners got the better of her and she asked the other Jenny if she'd like to joint heir outing.

Laura's superiors later sent her to [[Slough]] to investigate the cultists worshipping the [[Tenth Lord Grell]], based on a notion that a young woman would be “inconspicuous”, which Laura found rather patronising. The day before, she got a phone call from [[Jenny Cornelius]], who had received a tip-off from [[Crowley#In Jenny Cornelius's world|alternative means]], and unsuccessfully tried to convince Jenny to stay out of Slough. After finding the right building, Laura was, however, captured and tied up in a storeroom. Jenny defeated Lord Grallyx, though not before he set the building on fire, and used her powers to unlock the door, finding Laura halfway through getting out of her bindings by herself. Because Jenny didn't want Laura's bosses to know about her [[shift]]ing abilities, she took care to make up a plausible cover story before she used them in Laura's vicinity, claiming to Laura that she was actually using hypnotism to make her forget the means by which they escaped their dire circumstances (rather than them having genuinely teleported to the safety of Laura's home in the blink of an eye). Laura was personally unconvinced but agreed to write as much in her report, which she headed off to type, though promising to spend the night with Jenny as soon as she was done.
