If I don’t pull off several miracles, my sister may only be the first of many casualties.

In November 1909, thousands of factory workers walked off the job to protest the terrible working conditions in New York City factories. Joining the picket lines was dangerous, with thugs and police officers harassing picketers, but the protests stirred action.

But nothing changed for workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and those workers would pay a high price for the company's dangerous conditions.

Name’s Jess, and I have superpowers. A lot of them. You’d think that would make life easier. Wrong. Dead wrong. Having many superpowers landed me my first job out of college.
