The Late Shift (comic story): Difference between revisions

|hero(es)= [[Jenny Everywhere 4 (The Late Shift)|Jenny Everywhere]]

While about to be executed by a firing squad, [[Jenny Everywhere (Third Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] begins introducing herself, noting that her current predicament is nothing for her to worry about. She proves this by [[shift]]ing away from the burning, war-torn city in an instant. As she is dematerialising, she notes that "there are [[The Doctor (Third Universe)|many people]] who get in more trouble than [her]", as evidenced by the fact that [[The Doctor's TARDIS (Third Universe)|a blue box]] is even now materialising in front of the firing squad in her stead.

Resurfacing in [[Jenny Everywhere 2 (The Late Shift)|another body]], Jenny continues to expound on her nature and abilities. As she uses her scarf as a lasso to escape from the jaws of a [[T-rex (The Late Shift)|T-rex]], she mentions that her [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] belonged to "[[Jenny Everywhere's mother|her mom]]", who was apparently a famous air-pilot before she disappeared. Mid-explanation, Jenny ends up in [[Jenny Everywhere 3 (The Late Shift)|a different body]], at the controls of a biplane herself, and in the middle of a dogfight at that — whereupon she laments that she does not actually know how to fly a plane herself.

As she is coming down using a parachute, she realises that she is late for something, and hurries back into this particular consciousness's [[Jenny Everywhere 4 (The Late Shift)|original body]] — a retail worker who is late for her shift! Ironically, although she does not appear to notice, a few of the Jennies whose bodies she borrowed during her explanation appear to be waiting in the queue, too…

 

=== Worldbuilding ===

==== Jenny ====

**[[Jenny Everywhere 4 (The Late Shift)|The one]] whose consciousness is focused on is a retail worker with the standard Asian look, short, straight black hair, and a checkered shirt.

** A [[Jenny Everywhere (Third Universe)|Jenny]] with Asian features but short pale hair, and wearing a tiger-stripes jacket is in the middle of an adventure in the [[Third Universe]].  

** [[Jenny Everywhere 2 (The Late Shift)|A black-skinned Jenny with braids]] is having an adventure in a prehistoric Earth, meeting a dinosaur.  

** Finally, [[Jenny Everywhere 3 (The Late Shift)|one Jenny]] who has the standard look but wears square goggles is in the middle of a WWI-style biplane dogfight.

==== Universes ====

** [[Third Universe|The first one seen]] is home to [[the Doctor's TARDIS (Third Universe)|the Doctor's TARDIS]]. Only one location is seen, a city in flames where Jenny was facing a firing squad.
