The last thing she remembered was sitting behind a desk and saying hello to… somebody. Then there’s something like a flicker? Certainly a result of her missing memories. Lost time. It was the only thing that made sense. Otherwise, there was no time between her pleasantly saying hello to someone and then being impaled on a girder while battle waged around her. In the last moments of her life, she couldn’t understand how she could possibly be dead… had denied it right up until things went black.
Then she awoke, only fragments of memory in what she quickly realized was in a morgue of some sort and managed to find clothes to cover herself. She found a fragment of a report on a clipboard near where she was lying. The handwriting was barely legible in places, but there was a lot of water damage. Her given name was… Mina, maybe, and the surname was a T, that was certain. There was an age, but a look in the mirror made her question whether it was even her file. She didn’t look that old… but then… she felt like it was accurate?
She would eventually call herself “Mina Truth”, ridiculous, but it spoke to her hope to find the truth one day.
In the course of getting out, she encountered other bodies set out for examination and dressed in their costumes. She realized she knew them… but then… everybody knew them. Legacy, Tachyon, the Wraith, Bunker… and Absolute Zero’s shattered power armor. Shock at the death of such heroes and confusion trying to consider her own weird sense of familiarity with them… a deeply personal loss that didn’t make sense with her blank memories. Had show known them? Maybe it was parasocial? She stumbled out into the city.
Over the course of the next few months things only got worse. The city started with a sort of normalcy, save the mourning people were doing for lost heroes. It was in the papers, but she never could bring herself to read just what enemy had killed them.
And then an alliance of Baron Blade and the Citizens of the Sun brought down an attack on the world that the other heroes were unprepared for.
Cities were devastated and the surviving heroes were forced into hiding. She discovered her powers as she was “killed” and cosmically reformed more than once, her body progressively changing each time, until she stabilized in her current form. Only her grey eyes remaining the same.
She eventually realized that this is what happened the first time, only whatever power this was hadn’t been complete yet and she only reformed slowly. But now it had changed her body to something that could be readily recovered. First her body had become younger and maybe her nervous system had changed… but slowly the changes spread through her body.
She took on the hero name “Verity”. Might as well lean into the ridiculousness.
Mina encountered some other empowered people trying to talk about a striking back or at least creating a safe place for bystanders to hide. She had to learn the fighting part, but she seemed to have a knack for efficient organization of people. It looked like they could settle into a resistance.
Then Blade and the Citizens betrayed one another.
In the midst of that conflict, Gloomweaver’s cult summoned him forth as Akash’bhuta rose up. The Earth became progressively devastated.
Then the portals came and led her group of bystanders and other surviving heroes through… in time to take part in OblivAeon’s assault.
In the wake, things have finally calmed down for the group of displaced people. They can’t go back to their own world, but they strongly suspect there’s not much left of it to go back too. So, they’re looking for ways to fit in in the new world. Pitch in as it were.
In the course of many interviews, she found herself speaking to an old man in a bathrobe, t-shirt, surfer shorts, and flip-flops. He was vaguely familiar to her, but eventually they got to the topic of the mystery of her powers. He hmmed at her inquisitively, adjusted his glasses, examined her for a few moments and commented that her mind and body did not seem to be from the reality and the cosmos was trying to figure out what to do about it. He went on to say that her mind resonated with the universe she was currently in.
Verity blinked and realized that she had, against all odds, come to find herself closer to the truth.
