== History ==
=== Background ===
Megan grew up in Portland, Oregon.{{book ref|Firefight|34}} Her house burned down when she was very young, and she has nightmares about this. {{book ref|Firefight|36}} Megan joined the Reckoners sometime before the book starts. She appears to have a genuine hatred for epics, however supports Steelheart for the stability he brings. She appears to have joined the Reckoners with his knowledge (at least as far as no lenience is shown towards her or her cell from enforcement or Nightwielder). She actively works with the Reckoners towards their goal to defeat Steelheart.
 
=== [[Steelheart]] ===
==== Meeting David Charleston ====
David encounters Megan when he attempts to meet and join the Reckoners in Newcago. While interacting with Megan, David found that her emotions were inconsistent as seen when she is nice to him in their first interaction and later crude and snarky in later chapter. Megan later betrays them when they begin to target important parts of Steelheart's infrastructure. She was revealed to be an Epic, explaining her fickleness before the revelation. Megan was killed while escaping from their Conflux hit on a motorcycle. [[David]] defended her and confessed his infatuation for her while she died. [[Prof]] brought her back to the hideout with [[David]], and burned her with their base. However, she still reincarnated because she was dead before the fire ever touched her. Later, during the [[Steelheart]] hit, David found Megan listening to an audio recording of her death, including David's confession. She told him to stay away, however, or she would shoot herself, as it meant nothing to her anymore.
While scavanging for the Reckoners, David encountered Megan while the Reckoner was planning a hit on the High Epic, [[Fortuity]]. When another Epic named [[Curveball]] appeared, David assumed that the plan was going awry and he intervened, ruining the entire plan. After Megan and David take down the two Epic, Megan takes the eager newcomer to her team. While interacting with Megan, David found that her emotions were inconsistent as seen when she is nice to him in their first interaction and later crude and snarky in later chapter.
 
==== Sudden Loss ====
Megan was killed while escaping from their Conflux hit on a motorcycle. [[David]] defended her and confessed his infatuation for her while she died. [[Prof]] brought her back to the hideout with [[David]], and burned her with their base.
 
==== Reappearance ====
While fighting Nightweilder, David finds Megan and comes to the conclusion that she is the Epic named Firefight as reincarnation is one of her abilities. It is revealed that Megan betrayed the Epics when they began to target important parts of Steelheart's infrastructure by infiltrating the organization and feeding information to Steelheart. Intitially, she seemed to be unable to recall any past events before her death as seen when she struggled to remember David's identity. Later, during the [[Steelheart]] hit, David found Megan listening to an audio recording of her death, including David's confession. She told him to stay away, however, or she would shoot herself, as it meant nothing to her anymore.
 
=== [[Firefight]] ===
==== Resurfaced ====
In the beginning, Megan is secretly helping David. Before David almost drowns after his encounter with [[Obliteration]], Megan saves him despite the fact that the Reckoners believe that she killed Sam, another Reckoner that was part of [[Mizzy]]'s team. David later finds Megan and decides to keep his encounter and her location a secret from Prof and the Reckoners. Megan makes several revelations about her powers and her current status. She reveals that her Epic ability to create illusions are actually the her reality warping powers. She also shares her fear that her reincarnation abilities may actually be resulting from her subconsciously pulling parallel existences of herself to replace her when she dies. David and Megan become closer and a romantic relationship between them begins to blossom. Megan later reveals that she came to Babilar in hopes that [[Regalia]] would somehow be able to remove her powers in the same way that she claims that she can gift and augment Epic powers. When David is trailed by [[Val]], he is believed to have been working with Regalia all along and that Megan is seducing him. Prof, in the guise of David, texts Megan to meet her where she eventually dies trying to save David from a burning building. While David fights a corrupted Prof later in the book, Megan reincarnates and saves David from his battle with her reality warping abilities. Because she confronted her fear, the corruption from her powers lessens greatly and she is able to use her powers more freely. Her fear of fire and it being her weakness leads David to believe that Epics' weaknesses are linked to their past somehow.
==== Saving David ====
While David fights a corrupted Prof later in the book, Megan reincarnates and saves David from his battle with her reality warping abilities. Because she confronted her fear of fire, the corruption from her powers lessens greatly and she is able to use her powers more freely. Her fear of fire and it being her weakness leads David to believe that Epics' weaknesses are somehow linked to their past somehow. She, Mizzy, and David are the last remaining Reckoners in Babilar as Prof killed Val and Exel and Tia's status remained a mystery.
