Plot

At the "beginning and end" of the Multiverse, two godlike entities have been clashing: the Defender and the Destroyer. At last, the Defender, though wounded, gains the upper hand, banishing the Destroyer into the nothingness beyond existence, but the Destroyer jeers that it has won even so, as he has done too much damage to the proto-multiverse for it to blossom into anything new; there is not enough energy for a Big Bang left in the wounded fabric of reality. The Defender thinks for a moment and then decides to sacrifice herself, shattering herself into an infinity of pieces that fill all the cracks in reality.

Eons later, while sitting through an algebra class, a young incarnation of Jenny Everywhere is in mental conversation with her other selves, and asks how “Jenny Everywhere” came to be. She is told that none of the Jennies know.
