Jennie had decided long ago that this summer was going to be devoted to getting all of her affairs in order. Having a job and having money was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. She had ambitions of having her own place one day and a career. Graduation was in site and she was gearing up to make a move in a positive direction. And just like anything when Jen wanted something she went after it and no one was going to stand her way, not no how. She was going to blow up one day, mark her words. In the meantime, she still needed to make money to support herself while she hustled her resume all over time.
Today she received a call from the photography company she occasionally contracted with and Jen jumped at the chance. She'd been idling, or at least that's what it felt like, ever since classes ended. The sudden freetime was appealing at first, but now she was ready to get back to work. It was a small photography company that dealt mostly in wedding pictures and the occassional high school. Today's assignment was a baseball team upstate. And they were going to be the best baseball photos ever! Okay... so the assignment wasn't terribly exiting, but a job was a job and money was money. And despite her altered pigment, there was a distinct lack of green in her life.
It would take her about two hours at the most to get to where she was going, so Jen decided to take her car out for the day, a metallic mint green Buick Skylark, which Jen had kept from Wisconsin and was now only running on a wish and a prayer. The train would have taken too long and she needed to bring equipment with her, so flying was kind of out of the question.
About an hour into her commute, traffic on the interstate came to a dead halt. And after twenty minutes, when traffic still hadn't moved, she had decided to flick on the radio to see if she might not get some kind of update on what was causing the delay. She didn't have to wait long to find out. The seismic vibrations caused by Major Disaster reached her before the Emergency Broadcast System did. Then came the reports of the villain on the loose.
Really? Oh God, that was ironic. Jade was highly unimpressed and severly unamused. She had a job lined up, which she still intended on going to, but couldn't let this continue. Not when some third rate villiain was breaking apart the freeway for shits and giggles.
"Please be here when I get back," she bid the sedan goodbye, as she pulled off onto the sholder of the road, and lept into the air. A green aura flickered around her, her ordinary clothes transforming into her white and green costume. Jade to the rescue!
A few hours later, Jade had things pretty much under control. There were obvious signs of a fight, judging by the fine coat of dust she was covered in and by the way sweat-soaked strands of green clung to her neck. Apparently he had the ability to redirect attacks, which Jade had found out the hard way. She was going to be sore tomorrow. But all that was said and done, the fight was over and now Jade had Major Disaster trapped in a large green jar, floating in the air waiting for the authorities to come pick him up. She herself was floating, legs folded, resting her hand in her chin. She was out the way of things, wondering how long this was going to take.
"You just chill out," she warned him, sternly, pointing a finger at him. "And then I'll think about giving you air holes." While he was locked away, Jen made a phone call to the photography company to let them know she had got held up.
"Hi! Its Jennie-Lynn," she put on her sweet voice, which was completely different from the tone she had just used on Major Disaster, eying him still and giving him the look of death. "I was just calling to let you know I'm running late for the appointment. Apparently there was some scuffle on the highway that was causing some major serious traffic. But it looks like its clearing up," she said spying the police lights opproaching from the distance. "So, I should be on my way! See you soon!"
She'd worry about her car later, because she was flying the rest of the way, just wanting to get to work and salvage what she could of the day.
