=== Origins === | |||
Jenny was native to 1960s [[London]] in [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|one universe]], living about a thousand feet from [[Carnaby Street]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Folly of Men (short story)|The Folly of Men]]'') within a “secluded mews” in central London. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dog Days of Sumer (short story)|Dog Days of Sumer]]'') Due to them knowing about her powers, she was in the good books of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]], who sometimes asked for her unofficial help in dealing with delicate situations. As well as [[Captain Stewart]], with whom she also flirted (unsuccessfully), this was what put her in contact with [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Miss Laura Drake]], who worked in the P.R. office. 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.

When asked how she and Cornelius had met, [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]] couldn't exactly recall, explaining that they “must have run into each other at something, early on” and had subsequently “[seen] each other off and on for a while”. Eventually, around 1958, she suggested they go somewhere together out of the blue. After Laura declined “a marathon ride on the Tube”, driving through the countryside in Jenny's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini Mini], or travelling to “far-away, fantastical lands, wondrous imaginary places only found in the wildest fantasies? [[Neverland]]! [[Tir na Nog]]! [[Oz]]! [[France]]!”, Cornelius settled on an idea without telling her what it was, and drove her at to [[Liverpool]] to see [[the Quarrymen]] play, the significance of which was entirely lost on Laura at the time.

On her way back home from shopping at [[Marks & Spencer]], Jenny stumbled into [[Mr Fell (The Folly of Men)|Mr Fell]], who explained to her that he was having trouble with a [[Hounds of Tindalos|surviving Hound of Tindalos]] who'd been let loose by a [[British Museum]] curator's careless with a certain [[Sumer]]ian artefact. After the creature attacked them, Fell mentioned to Jenny that in the old days, he'd fought the creatures using fire; with Fell no longer having access to a [[flaming sword]], Jenny handed him [[Jenny Cornelius's lightsaber|a replacement]] she'd picked up [[Star Wars Galaxy|very far away]] at some point. After the ravening creature was duly dispatched, Cornelius pocketed the weapon again and headed on home.

=== Post Office Tower date === | |||
Eventually, Jenny persuaded [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]] to spend the night at her place. In the morning, Jenny found to find that Laura was already fixing breakfast, making eggs instead of Jenny's usual Marmite-covered [[toast]]. After they ate together, Jenny unveiled her plan for the following night's date: eating out at the [[Top of the Tower]] restaurant which had recently opened on the top floor of the newly-constructed [[Post Office Tower]]. Though she had [[Intelligence Taskforce|work knowledge]] of [[Sygon|aliens]] in the basement, Laura greed, and Jenny went off to take a shower while Laura washed the dishes. She was interrupted by a phone call from aliens known as the [[Misterion]]s who began to threaten her with some kind of evil scheme, but after she deadpanly informed them that Jenny couldn't come to the phone right now, they agreed to call again later.
