biography.

kollok, washington. a seemingly idyllic place, funded by synchroneity technological conglomerate. there are few people in town who actually seem to know what synchroneity does. in truth, the company works with a place called the bank of mammon, in order to draw egos from other universes and pull them into the bodies of their own universe. embeth grew up with her mother and father in kollok, when an event caused her to get exposed to phobos' energy, which gave her the superhuman power of freezing time. she was taken to an fbi facility where she was supposed to learn how to use her powers. while there, she learns that half of kollok has been destroyed by another powered teen. while at the fbi facility, she meets with a group of teens calling themselves "the kollok radar" (billy baker, mickey jones, marcus bennett, skye hawkins) who plan to go try to save others within kollok. on the way there, fed up with everything taking so long, she uses her powers to head into kollok and survey the damage before returning to report that everyone is dead. billy bond with em over using his powers to make him cool, and she displays her abilities by messing with his clothes, before admitting while going to check on the state of kollok while using her powers, she stole money on the way back and that she probably would do it again, making her as uncool as him.

while they venture inside the destroyed part of kollok, em argues with the others about the right way to do things. she says that telling tibby not to heal people when he has the ability to is a waste of powers, but is eventually swayed. when faced with the stonemasons, em blames them for what happened at synchroneity, and demands answers for the powers she feels burdened with. filled with rage, em stabs the head stonemason in the throat with a knife, though it doesn't kill him. just before she's about to use her powers to kill the rest of the stonemasons, marcus bennett uses a tranquilizer dart on her. she uses her power to freeze time, but the tranquilizer knocks her unconscious. after recovering from her time in the time void, she finds herself back at the fbi facility. she gives a statement to the fbi, then reappears behind skye hawkins while she gives her own statement, just seconds before calling em crazy. the two talk with larson, and em states that she isn't crazy, and doesn't have problems with anyone except for marcus for stabbing her with the tranquilizer dart.

skye believes this means em wants to kill marcus. after teasing skye a little, the two of them meet with agent bucket, who tells them that the rest of the kollok radar was headed to the waterfall in kollok to meet with whoever was behind a message that had been left with mickey jones. em tells bucket that despite being stabbed by marcus, she's had a month to think about what happened and that she no longer wants to kill marcus. she then reveals to skye that her powers aren't teleportation, but instead she is able to freeze time around her, and that every time she does, the amount she spends in the void gets a little longer.

skip forward some time, skye and em are awoken by a worried bucket, telling them that marcus never checked in with him. eventually marcus does, and they head to the address given, only for em to find a manic sammy reilly trying to kill marcus. she tries to talk him down, but clarence anah appears behind him and snaps his neck. em tries to fix sammy, but his head is "on the wrong way". she drops him when she sees marcus, running at him and pushing him against a wall, telling him that he needs to think about his actions. she tells him that she was left in a tranquilized state for a whole month, alone, and he apologizes for leaving her like that. skye asks if she can investigate the south tower, and bucket agrees that she should, sending em and sayaka with her to do so.

em, skye, and sayaka omari sneak out of the mikelson's house, all agreeing that they need to keep a low profile. they decide to head to the taco bell express, not knowing that it's one of busiest places because of the rush at the gas station. while there, the three of them discuss how exactly they want to get into the building without being seen. it's then that they realize that they've been followed, and meet the invisible nick blakely. sayaka manages to convince nick that he's dead, and that he can fly, which causes him to jump from the top of the taco bell and hurt himself badly. the three of them argue about what to do, and em decides to take control and use her powers. she covers nick in hot sauce and brings him to the fbi facility, dropping him off to get medical care. em then gets tacos and brings skye and sayaka to the south tower. with the rest of her time she heads to the beach for vacation, nearly forgetting to head back to kollok in time. when time unfreeze, em is so happy to hear skye's voice that she hugs her, much to skye's surprise.

the three of them are distracted by a broadcast of mrs. wu, who details everything that happened in the explosion at synchroneity, blaming it on the stonemasons, and revealing the identities of many of the affected kids. shaken, they head upstairs, avoiding the guards, and find a completely white room with a single window that has "i don’t need all of you alive. behave.” written on it. across from them, a woman stands in a tower waving at them frantically. suddenly, the three are then cornered by one of synchroneity's monsters, and when skye tries to activate her power, she touches em's right arm, paralyzing it. em activates her power again, and brings them all, including the woman, back to her home. and in order to keep her family safe, she locks them in the basement.

this time, when they come to, em recoils away from skye, hiding her paralyzed arm. the clarity clone explains who she is, and that she's wants to get to greer farms to find "james", and hide from clarity prime. they agree to help, and have em use her power so that they can sneak out of the city without being seen. em tells skye what she did to her arm, and skye apologizes. she then activates her power, which will last this time for 8 months. em spends seven months just driving around, but returns before the time void can break. though she tries, her mind still deteriorates in this time. when time begins again, em is emotional in a similar way to when she hugged skye before, having not heard another person's voice for 8 months. they let the clarity clone head into greer farm, only to hear a gunshot go off a little while later.

em, sayaka and skye are later greeted by a man with an owl. he tells skye that she is out of time, and in order for her to go back to her own time, em and sayaka need to die. the three of them head into the farmhouse after sayaka uses her powers to take the electricity from the building. when inside, brooke greer and her son tell them that they're in danger, and give them clarity and james's son, aj, to take care of. they head back with the newly named "j.a." where it is revealed to them that bucket is dead. em is originally in denial about this, but eventually comes to terms with what happens. after a talk with agent bilfroy, they head to a mostly empty room to rest, when tibby heals em's paralyzed arm.

the group heads to bed, only to be awoken the next morning by a group of military team wearing all black. em awakes and activates her power after she sees billy get shot with a tranquilizer dart. she is stuck in the void for 16 months, and spends that time exploring the facility and getting rid of the team that assaulted the building. for the first 4 months she spends her time as she did before.before time unfreezes, em cooks the group breakfast and brings bilfroy into the room, who reveals that lexi has destroyed portland. when the radar goes to break clarence out of containment, they hear explosions outside, and the group flees the facility back towards kollok.

while at the hawkins' house discussing skye's condition with her mother, the house is attacked by two of synchroneity's monsters, the one from the south tower, and the one that killed marcus's dad. em is caught between two situations, and skye sees this, and calls out to her not to use her powers. she asks skye how many times they've watched home alone, skye isn't able to answer, and em asks again. when skye has no answer, em drops her journal on the ground and stops time. knowing she has three years, em settles into calming herself down. she heads outside, but hears the sound of the monsters behind her, realizing that they've adapted to her abilities. em jumps into an armored van, but it refuses to start, and the creatures tear up the wheels. she instead runs towards her house, and loosens a gas line and lights her sweater on fire. em knows that she can't affect things unless she touches them, but she knows that if something happens to her, it will break the time freeze, and the gas will explode. she sacrifices herself in order to kill the monsters.

after she dies, skye mourns her death as she reads a letter written to her in em's journal. it details that she's probably dead, and that she loved skye, both versions of her, and that she wanted skye to tell her family how much she loved them.

abilities.

• FREEZING TIME. Embeth has the ability to freeze time. Each time she does so, time stops for everyone except her. With each time she uses this ability, the amount of time the time is "frozen" lengthens, keeping her stuck alone in a frozen world for longer and longer with each time she uses her powers. Her powers will be slightly canon divergent in that the time that gets freeze doesn't double each time, but instead has a couple of second added each time instead, so that she can use her powers a little more often before it becomes an actual burden, but still be enough of a concern that she has to use the powers sparingly.
