Veil

Veil was a villain and companion to Coin, operating from Rocket City

## Origin

Meagan Dillard had not gotten along with her parents for most of her life. Her powers emerged when she was in school. Aroused by her school boyfriend during a late night drive along The Bluffs, she accidentally caused him to black out with her powers - crashing the car. Despite him surviving the experience, Meagan was terrified of the consequences and decided to abandon both him and her regular life.

## Crime Spree

Meagan would eventually start making a life for herself using her powers - initially starting small to give herself a safe place to sleep and food to eat, she soon realised the potential on her powers were limitless. Meagan would use her powers to access the finer things in life, eventually making a home for herself in a Saint Heights penthouse overlooking the city.

In these elite circles, she soon met a similar-minded young woman named Dina Larsen. The two hit it off instantly, recognising the potential that their joint powers had to make other succumb to their will. Although the pair crossed paths with the Super Legion on occasion, they were treated more as nuisances rather than true villains - and always escaped conviction.

Eventually Dina was manipulated into an experimental treatment, turning her into a living weapon for the benefit of her elderly husband. Dina was disgusted by the ordeal and asked Meagan to help her escape his controlling ways. Using her telepathy, Meagan forced a divorce and Dina moved into her penthouse in the city. Unknown to Dina - Meagan also used her powers to deeply traumatise the now ex-husband, making him incredibly unstable.

## Together

Meagan and Dina lived together in relative peace in the Saint Height's penthouse; using their amassed wealth to live the best version of their lives. During this time, the two also became romantically involved - finding comfort with each other after disastrous past relationships. Soon the new couple were thrown into action when the Night of the Netherworlders erupted, with the titular creatures destroying their home on their hunt. Meagan and Dina escaped, making their way outside of the city through luck alone. As they looked back at the carnage, Dina felt a sense of regret for not doing something to help - which contrasted greatly with Meagan's desire to escape and keep them both safe. The issue divided the two - with Dina returning to the city and Meagan leaving on a yacht to places unknown.

## Apart

Meagan travelled the world for a short period after this - trying to avoid the harsh reality of the attack on Rocket City, but also the breakup of her relationship with Dina. Seeing that she was now calling herself Coin as a member of the Externals; Meagan wanted to reconnect and returned to the city. Using her powers to cause trouble, Meagan soon caught the attention of the fledgling team, and demanded that Coin return to their previous life - refusing to believe that she was now on the 'good guys' side after their time together.

Coin refused to join her, but offered her a place to stay and time to talk. Unfortunately this coincided with the reveal of External's member Chi's true motives. A battle erupted between the team and Chi; who revealed the true extent of his power - crushing and destroying the Midnight Bunker with the team trapped inside. In her last moments, Meagan reached out to Coin telepathically - telling her she loved her, before being killed by the falling debris inside the bunker. Coin decided to honour her fallen companion by carrying out the work of the heroes; vowing to not let villains destroy more lives in the process.
