'Run!' Signe thought to herself, her legs pumping under her as she looked around the camp for some sort of escape. Her breathe was heavy, her lungs burned and begged her to slow down. She had to escape. It was now or never. She slipped, falling down. 'Goddamnit get up Signe!' The young girl screamed at herself before getting up and dashing by the various buildings. The screeching alarms blared through her ears, the bright spotlights blinding her as she tried to avoid them. She focused, using her remote vision to look for anyone that might hurt her. She saw a man slightly up ahead, she quickly used the gun she stole to shoot him in the leg, hopefully it wasn't fatal. She couldn't use dark matter, she didn't want to wear herself out before she could get out. She saw a fence, this was her chance. Signe mentally high fived herself before making a small portal to the other side, escaping the compound. She ran into the woods, far enough so no one would catch her. Once she got out she practically screamed, jumping up and down, tears of joy came to her eyes. She sat down on the dewy grass, leaning back to look at the beautiful night sky. She closed her eyes, her mind slowly unraveling into deep thought.

It was a normal day. Signe smiled at her father, his lab coat brushing against her hand. It was normal for her father to let her be the test subject for his inventions. She loved to do it, it made her feel special. Her father saw it as a way to save money. He thought he had finished his project. A portal, something to help human travel between dimensions. She let go of his hand, stepping through the portal. She screamed, the things she saw scarring her. She couldn't breathe, her father pulled her back out but the damage was done. She screamed, her eyes turning pitch black and a blast of energy going off around her. She broke all of her father's inventions. He was furious, but intrigued at the possibilities with her. He called his contacts and before Signe could bat an eye, her things were packed and she was sent with strange men. They were known as the Black Leafs. They hated good and everything it stood for. Her father sold her to them. That's why Signe would forever hate him. She was very young at the time, she had just turned 14 when the incident occurred. The Black Leafs trained her to fight, to shoot, and to have their same beliefs. For a while she did. She believed that society was horrible, the world was broken, and the only way to stop good was with evil. She had a mentor to train her with her powers. In only a few years she had become a better fighter than most of the group excluding her mentor. She continued with their views until one day she just realized it was wrong. It hit her like a ton of bricks when she thought about it, perhaps she was too naive to understand the true way of the world. Signe planned, and then when she had the chance she ran. And now here she was. In the middle of the forest, while it was freezing cold, and no idea how the hell to get home.

Signe opened her eyes, her head repeating the past few years over and over through her head. She pursed her lips. "I have to make up for everything I've done." She said to herself with a smile. It was then she decided to be Jupiter, a hero. She made her way back home, to her mother who was told she had died. Her mother of course was overjoyed, she hadn't seen her child in years. She informed her that her father had went missing and that he told everyone Signe had died in a lab accident. Signe spoke out about what really happened, that she wasn't an imposter. Her mum of course was skeptical of her being a hero, but went along with it. Jupiter soon emerged, saving citizens and stopping crime. She was one of the few heroes hailing from Canada, and felt honored when American Liberty invited her to join the Heroes Union. So she left Canada and all the memories that haunted her and traveled to New York, excited for a new start and a new story.
