(I think Dizzy made it clear that the Doctor Draconic of *this* story doesn't look like this; my sketch must depict some alternative, as-yet-unseen version.) Tag: visualeditor-wikitext |

As the Shifter and Doctor Draconic had their first face-off on a rooftop, Jenny readily recognised “Doctor Draconic” as Laura, leading to a moment of awkwardness between them as Laura admitted that she had made the alias obvious in the hope that Jenny would still miss the connection, so that she could then taunt her with how obvious it had been once she did choose to reveal herself. Laura ended up feeling so moritifed that she ended the conversation by urging Jenny to get on with “thwarting” her.

=== Lauren Ipsum Drake === | |||
In [[Universe (Truth in Labeling)|one universe]] where superheroes were commonplace, Laura Drake was actually a [[Dragon]] who had taken human form, adopting the alias “Lauren Ipsum Drake”. Her human form was a red-haired woman, who sometimes wore dresses. She maintained this civilian identity but also a superhero identity in which she made no secret of her ability to “shapeshift into” a huge draconic form. She was friends with [[Jenny Everywhere#With Lauren Ipsum Drake|the Shifter]], who was also active as a superhero. | |||
On one occasion, a [[Robot (Truth in Labeling)|giant robot]] attacked downtown [[New York City#Attacked by a battle mech|New York]] half an hour before Laura and Jenny were slated to have lunch. With the Shifter finding her teleportation-based powers ineffective against the mech, she tried to persuade Laura to step in, though she was reluctant, as she was in civilian clothes. Successfully persuaded, she finally shifted into her true form, entrusting her human clothes to Jenny, and charged in Dragon form at the robot, who was significantly smaller than her. She easily knocked it to the ground and mauled it until it ceased moving. Jenny was much impressed with this display, suggesting that their preset lunch date was fast turning into an actual ''date'' in her mind.
