Death is only the beginning, unless you are Nameless. Condemned to spend eternity in Purgatory with the rest of the Between, Nameless is the most hated soul who never lived. After centuries of searching for a meaning to her dull existence, her answer comes in the form of Ben Telem, a curious soul who finds himself travelling to Purgatory in his sleep. Tasked with helping Ben control his unusual ability, Nameless finally has a reason for being, but helping Ben sets in motion events she could not imagine and grabs the attention of many adversaries who have agendas of their own... Can Nameless protect Ben as well as herself from forces far more powerful than she is, or will she always remain the most Between of all the Between?

Every super villain has a nemesis... You know how The Joker has Batman? Well, in Starlight City, I have Mercury Strike. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "You do recall that I'm the villain right?" I pointed out. "Considering that you almost took my hearing last night while trying to rob a bank... Yes, I do." Mercury Strike - also known as MS, sat on my bed with his arms crossed over his chest. Although he was trying his best to look stoic, I saw his eyes pleading me through his red satin mask. He desperately needs my help... "So, let me get this straight. If I help you, I save the city from 'imminent danger' as you put it and get to keep my secret identity a secret. If I don't, then you reveal Jupiter as Banshee?" "Basically." MS shrugged his shoulders. " Wow, looks like superheroes ARE still human. " " What's that supposed to mean?" " C'mon...blackmail? Stealing information? Giving me no choice but to agree? Sounds like something Banshee would do. Don't you think? " I teased. MS's eyes seemed to light up instantly. "So... is that a yes?" "Gosh your slow... yes, it is." I said, rolling my eyes. "But you have to promise to honor our deal." "You do recall that I'm the good guy right?" This time, it was MS's turn to tease me. "Honor is what we're all about." With that, a bolt of lightning blinded me temporarily. Once I regained my sight, I found my room empty. Mercury Strike was gone. Superheroes and their dramatic exits. I thought to myself, laying down on my bed. 'Jupiter,' I thought. ' What the heck have you gotten yourself into...'
