After Ruth and Leo met [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] and they decided to go to the [[Great Leader]]'s underwater base, Ruth was remapped to become the sole priestess of Poseidon so that she would be able to summon the [[Chariot of Poseidon]] to get there. The Great Leader forced them to take part in a game during which she worried that she might have unknowingly been a [[traitor]] to Benny, but, following the Great Leader's destruction, Benny assured her that that was not the case.

When Benny proposed a toast to her new family, Ruth was worried about how she had no idea who she was before Atlantis.

Ruth kept Benny at a [[safe house]] on Leo's orders to keep her safe and helped her in a failed attempt to escape when the [[Hierophant]]s came for her.

Ruth and Benny then went to reboot the Great Leader due to the stability that he provided, but the [[Transuniversal Export]] building had transformed into a spire and they waited at the top of it as [[nothing (substance)|nothing]] destroyed the city.

[[The Epoch]] took Ruth and Benny and made them watch two other versions of themselves in different [[reality|realities]] to work out which version of them was the real one.

One Ruth was teleported to the London reality, but the other remained behind due to the device running out of [[battery]] and trapped Benny in a [[stasis chamber]] to survive the destruction of the reality they were in.
