I should have known my July 4th would totally suck since it would be my "coming out" event.
It started with the rain. I was going to make my first public speech, in front of the entire city of Metropolis (and who knows how many saw it on tv), and of course it had to rain, making my hair a complete mess.Unfortunately, super powers do NOT extend to hair control! I looked like a blonde dog that just stepped inside from the rain.
I managed to get through half my speech, about the only thing that went reasonably well, when some metahuman in the crowd decided to toss a lamp post. Really? Please tell me these things happen to you too?
Anyway, I confronted the jerk, but then all heck broke loose. Supers fighting metahumans, military fighting metahumans, dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!
All my best friends showed up: Captain Marvel, Captain Atom, Wonder Girl, and even my cousin. We saved a lot of lives, but the bad guys got away. Speaking of one...
There was one called Knockout, who sucker-punched me when I wasn't looking. I managed to get payback, knocking her across town (literally). But I have the feeling I will be seeing her again.
Anyway, it wasn't the July 4th I expected. Next year, I think I'm going to do a picnic instead. But with my luck, there will be giant ants from outer space...
