She had “prophetic dreams” based on the knowledge of her other selves but no direct knowledge of her multidimensional nature, nor, seemingly, the ability to shift at will. She was once trapped in a tower, threatened by a [[Baron (Paying It Forward)|Baron]]. [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]], who had glimpsed her predicament, sent [[#Helping other Jennies|another Jenny]] to help her; the more modern Jenny slipped Genevieve a loaded gun through an arrow-slit, to use as part of an escape.

Jenny, [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and three male friends of theirs once partied a bar together. However, a version of [[Jenny Nowhere#Killed by a dinosaur|Jenny Nowhere]], whom this Jenny had never encountered in any form, slipped something in her beer which forced her and Kim to rush to the bathroom, where Nowhere confronted them. She revealed herself as originally a version of Jenny Everywhere who had become disconnected from the wider telepathic network. To Everywhere's horror, she viewed it as a liberation which she planned to “share” with her, willing or not. | Jenny, [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and three male friends of theirs once partied a bar together.

However, Nowhere had not counted with Kim's special abilities, which meant her tranquiliser drug had no effect on Jenny's friend. Forced to flee through [[shift]]ing, Nowhere was pursued by Everywhere through several landscapes. Realising sunlight was Kim's weakness and Kim was Jenny's, Nowhere shifted to the Giza desert at high noon, forcing Everywhere to shift Kim somewhere shady instead of continuing to try to capture Nowhere. However, Nowhere did not keep the upper hand for long; foolishly choosing to pursue Everywhere in turn to the cool jungle she had chosen as the place to take Kim, she realised too late that it was a ''prehistoric'' jungle and was mauled to death by a dinosaur. Kim later examined her body, finding the surgical scar above her left ear which revealed she was ''not'' the original Jenny Nowhere. Shaken by these revelations, Jenny Everywhere and Kim agreed to go back home for another drink — with no music.

==== Ulysses Dumas and the Eye of Tripoli ==== | |||
The year after the defeat of [[the Vampire King]], Jenny had to “stay up until dawn” to save the Internet from the [[Eye of Tripoli]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'', ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') The next morning, she was woken up by a phone callf rom [[Ulysses Dumas]], the musician she'd saved from the Vampire King, who said he had an “unusual” problem which he hoped she could help him deal with. She arranged to meet him the following night at the [[Faux Fur End]]. There, she learned from Dumas that he had been turned into a [[vampire]] himself; although he had mostly made his peace with it, he wondered how he could continue his musical career when cameras could often not detect him (due to vampires' invisibility in mirrors). Before she could think of a solution, she was called away on another adventurer: it was “raining frogs at the mosque again”. She arranged to meet Dumas again a few days later, and, this time, brought [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]], who was able to offer a solution to his problem.

At some later point, Jenny foiled thirteen-year-old supervillain [[Professor Awesome]]. Shortly after this, she [[shift]]ed to [[Universe A (Paying It Forward)|the universe]] of [[Cha Ni]] and visited the [[Temple of the Oracle]]. She exchanged some words with the Oracle herself before collecting a list from her. It was a list of other Jennies leading more difficult lives whom this Jenny could go help. Her first destination was the Eurasian steppes of [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|one universe]], where she found a [[#Stunt pilot|pilot Jenny]] who had downed her [[Everywhere Explorer|aeroplane]] and gave her the spare part she needed to get off the ground again. The pilot Jenny, in thanks, offered to fly her to her next destination. | At some later point, Jenny foiled thirteen-year-old supervillain [[Professor Awesome]].
