Jennifer finds herself in the living room of the house, waiting for Luther to hoist down the screen and tape to what they want to show. While she waits with Allison, Klaus, Diego and Vanya. She looks around the room to distract herself. It's quiet, apart from Klaus drinking.
Allison turns around to her, looking her slightly up and down. "Where did you come from?" Allison asks, folding her arms over her chest as she looks down at Jenny.
"Leave her alone, Allison." Diego says as she can hear him from behind her.
"No, i'm curious. She suddenly showed up at Dad's memorial and no one seems to care." Allison says, arguing back. "She isn't part of this family and yet, Five keeps her around."
Diego makes a scoffed sound but Jenny beats him to an answer. "I didn't suddenly show up." Jennifer says, folding her arms. "Seventeen years ago i fell in some weird coma and have been in coma until two days ago, where i woke up in this house. Turns out, my own parents had a crash fifteen years ago and your father was kind enough to take me in. So yeah, i didn't suddenly show up, i was here for fifteen years. But you wouldn't know that because he didn't want anyone to know."
Vanya turns to Jenny. "Why? What makes you so special?" She asks softly.
Jenny turns to Vanya, shrugging her shoulders. "Nothing." Jenny says as she leans back against the back of the couch. "Although, maybe the fact that i'm Roland and Helen Norris' only child. And you must know what they meant to your father."
Which seems to make all eyes turn to her. "Roland and Helen's kid? No one told us she was here? We didn't know much about you and were told after your parents' death that you were being taken care of." Diego says frowning at her.
Jenny shrugs her shoulders. "I was just upstairs, being in a coma." She casually says, not really bothered by the thing.
"You slept upstairs? Not aging, but how?" Vanya asks her, her voice still soft as she tries to make herself look small.
The young girl tilts her head. "It seems so." Jenny answers. "And if i understand correctly, i fell in a coma the same day as Five disappeared but after he ran off. And i woke up when these thunder sounds were fading away so, i believe it is somehow connected to Five. Originally when Five time travelled into the future, i didn't wake up until april the second." Jenny explains.
Vanya looks at her, tilting her head to the side. "Do you have powers or something?" She asks her.
But Jenny shakes her head. She promised Five to keep quiet about them. "Not that i am aware of, no." She lies to the siblings. She can't tell them that her powers are a reckless act of craziness that she can't control.
She has all the sibling's eyes on her, but Allison seems to look at her as if she's not supposed to be. A look of disapproval. "You slept for years and yet, you're ordinary." Allison says to her, her arms folded over her chest and looks at Jenny in a way that tells Jenny that the woman doesn't like her.
