After due investigation, she discovered that this ''was'' in fact a supervillain plot, with the evil magician [[Nefario]] having created a [[Sausage Golem]] he intended to animate to wreak havoc. Centennia destroyed the golem before he could finish the spell, however, and arrested Nefario and his henchmen. She then met up with the friend who'd informed her of the sausage-thefts, though she refused his offer of getting a hot dog. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sausage-Fest!

After intimate images of them in bed together were leaked, there was a scandal, although one from which both heroes' reputations were able to recover in time. Centennia was one of the figures depicted in a biopic of the Captain, leading to the real Centennia attending the premiere alongside the Captain.

[[File:Full-body Centennia in Meanwhile, On Earth.png|thumb|left|Centennia interrogates the pilots of “[[Ultimatron]]”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'')]]A different superheroic Captain, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]], attempted to reach her around the same time to get her to accompany [[the Odds]] on a mission to [[England]] to halt [[Insecto]]'s attempted invasion of a town, but he didn't manage to get in touch with her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'') Centennia was not present at the ceremony where Captain Perfect was to be given the Keys to the City by [[Mayor Wilson|the Mayor]] as part of his public come-back. However, after a robot called [[Ultimatron]] attacked and knocking out Captain Perfect — with [[the Odds]], despite their best efforts, proving unable to defeat it —, Centennia flew out of the sky and down at the robot like a missile, destroying it in a single stroke. She then got the three henchfolk piloting it from inside to confess who they were working for. | [[File:Full-body Centennia in Meanwhile, On Earth.png|thumb|left|Centennia interrogates the pilots of “[[Ultimatron]]”.

To her surprise, it was actually Captain Perfect himself, with the entire attack staged with the intent of providing the Captain with an easy, live-televised win. The Odds' unexpected interference had thrown events off-script, leading to Ultimatron quite accidentally knocking out the purported star of the show. With her sense of betrayal compounded by Perfect weakly attempting to convince her that the henchpeople were lying, she memorably broke up with him by punching him off into the distance. When Captain Evening expressed his sympathies and thanked her for the save, he took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to officially join the Odds, and she agreed. Evening threw a party at the [[Fortress of Evening]] to celebrate, inviting all of his superhero acquaintances; among others, Centennia was seen hanging out with [[Jenkins]], who confessed that he had long been “a huge fan” of hers.

[[File:Centennia versus Captain Perfect.png|thumb|right|275px|Centennia faces [[Captain Perfect]] in battle. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, In Queens (comic story)|Meanwhile, In Queens]]'')]]Soon after, the Odds were lured to a building in Queens by [[Armagedda]] to face an alliance of villains assembled by [[Evil Cloak]], alias [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Nowhere]] — which included Captain Perfect. When Nowhere ordered her villains to attack the Odds, Centennia soon found herself facing Perfect, but with them seeming evenly-matched, Captain Evening soon directed Centennia to instead take on [[Jesse Brain]] while [[Merv the Griffin]] handled Perfect. The battle was ultimately cut short when Nowhere was eaten alive without fanfare by [[Gazoom]], the demonic entity she had summoned as the final phase of her master-plan — with both heroes and villains feeling the loss (since Jenny had previously been posing as Jenny Everywhere with the Odds), they agreed to call the battle a tie and go their separate ways for the night. Back at the Fortress, Centennia admitted to the rest of the team that she did not, after all, feel up to being part of a team full-time, something they graciously accepted.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]However, before Centennia left, [[the Odds]] received a distress call from [[Mayor Wilson|the Mayor]], warning them that “a monster” was attacking downtown. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, In Queens (comic story)|Meanwhile, In Queens]]'') When they arrived, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]] taking stock of the situation, immediately ordered Centennia and [[Merv the Griffin]] to help some of the heroes already present with keeping the [[Cosmic Solution]] robot contained while they formulated a better plan, without trying to destroy it, as it absorbed the energy from any impacts and used it to become larger. | ||
Even she, with or without the other heroes' help, proved unable to hold it down for long, and she was hurled to the ground when the robot wrestled itself free of the heroes pile-on, but the Captain had managed to sneak behind the robot and connect him to the device built by [[Hank Richards]] to drain its power and thereby shrink it. This victory proved short-lived as [[the Protectors]], a third set of superheroes, arrived on the scene and pummeled the robot again, allowing it to grow even larger than before and tear into the heroes with renewed vigour, with Centennia narrowly avoiding being crushed by one of its now car-sized fists. | Even she, with or without the other heroes' help, proved unable to hold it down for long, and she was hurled to the ground when the robot wrestled itself free of the heroes pile-on, but the Captain had managed to sneak behind the robot and connect him to the device built by [[Hank Richards]] to drain its power and thereby shrink it.
