The ride into town was about the only thing that would be normal about that day.
Of course, being a newly minted superhero, I knew I wouldn\u2019t be having any more \u201cnormal\u201d days, with all my new challenges and responsibilities. You never know when trouble\u2019s going to loom, y\u2019know.
Since you\u2019re from out of town, you may not have heard of me before. So, allow me to introduce myself.
For the first eight years of my life, I was just plain old Olivia Thrift, from Headingley, Manitoba, just outside of Winnipeg. A normal girl in a normal town, somebody who kept mostly to herself, with few friends. Other than my best one, Dixon Wells, whom I\u2019ve known since before we both had teeth. But even he didn\u2019t have time for me all the time. And my parents have to commute really deep into Winnipeg for work, so they\u2019re not always around or up and about when I need them. So, there\u2019s been a fair bit of time in my life when I was a total latchkey kid, alone with my books and the TV.
That\u2019s how my being a superhero came about. The animated ones on TV became my favorites, and then my older cousin Ella Thrift, who\u2019s the biggest fan-girl in the universe, got me into the comics. Especially now that there\u2019s a lot more women and girls in the superhero biz than there used to be. Of course, I didn\u2019t know then that I would become friends with them, let alone breathe the same air as any of them. Let further alone that I\u2019d actually be part of an epic, cataclysmic adventure with them. If you\u2019d told me that a couple of years ago I\u2019d be doing that, I would have thought you were out of your gourd.
But I did become a superhero, and it did happen. But, first, you need to know how I became who I am now for this to make any sense to you.<\/p>

*
I had just finished watching the tube one night, when I thought I heard somebody calling my name from within the set as the picture went dead. I crept forward, but, just before I got to the screen, a ghost appeared and startled the living daylights out of me, and I jumped back.
I\u2019d had a couple of glasses of ginger ale that night, which I didn\u2019t normally do, and my head was a little dizzy. So, I wasn\u2019t sure if I was imagining this or not. Like a goof, I asked it:
\u201cAre you for real?\u201d
To my great surprise, it said, \u201cYes\u201d.
Actually, \u201cit\u201d was a \u201che\u201d, so I should call him that instead. I\u2019m all about giving respect when it\u2019s deserved or earned. And he earned mine right away.
His name was Lightsound, and he was and is a deity who resides in all communication devices through which information is transmitted. Digital ones, mostly, since that\u2019s most of what they are now, anyway.
So, again like a goof, I asked him again:
\u201cYou mean you\u2019re from the telephone company?\u201d
\u201cNo,\u201d he said, clearly and patiently, but without any annoyance whatsoever.
He was an alien being sent to Earth to do good deeds, who happened to reside where he did because it was the only way he could avoid being attacked and killed by \u201cmy\u201d outside world. And he had chosen to reveal himself to me because he wished to do for me one of his good deeds.
\u201cMe?\u201d I asked. \u201cWhat did I possibly do to deserve something like that? I\u2019m not special.\u201d
He contradicted me. He noted my strong interest in super-heroics, and I didn\u2019t deny it. And then he noted a long list of things I had done in and around my home that qualified me for superhero status (in his eyes, anyway). I attribute that more to being a faithful Spark, Brownie and Girl Guide than anything else. As well as the many times I\u2019ve come to my best friend\u2019s aid when he needed it. Such as when I got into a vicious scrap with a bigger girl to protect Dixon from her bullying. I won the fight, but ended up getting detention for a whole week because of it. Because my hypocrite teacher of the moment thought that \u201cgirls should know better than to fight\u201d when he let the boys get away with it all the time. Who says life is fair?
But Dixon appreciated it, as he always does when I assist him in any way. He thinks I can fight very well, and never adds \u201cfor a girl\u201d to it, unlike some people. He\u2019s always glad if somebody stands up for him, boy or girl, because his being so short by guy standards makes it harder for him to defend himself by himself.
I\u2019m glad he\u2019s on my side.
Anyway, I had forgotten all of that, as well as the various animals I helped out if they were stuck in a tree or fell out of their nest trying to learn how to fly. Not that many – Headingley\u2019s very small – but Lightsound had somehow seen all of this and made a mental note of it all. And now, because I admired superheroes so much, he wanted to make me one, in turn.
\u201cSo how are you going to do that?\u201d I asked, still trying to come to terms with a dream that had the potential to come true. \u201cAre you going to\u2026.?\u201d
Before I could say any more, he shaped hands from his ethereal, non-corporeal form and put them on my arms. Then I got shocked with enough electricity to kill an elephant. Somehow, I survived, but I fell to the ground. Lightsound stood protectively over me until the charge faded, which happened soon afterwards.
\u201cWhat\u2026did you\u2026do\u2026to me?\u201d I said, once I regained consciousness, with a headache. \u201cI feel so\u2026\u201d
\u201cThe negative feelings will pass,\u201d he said. \u201cYou will begin to pulsate with strength and speed greater than anyone else your age. As well as a higher level of intelligence. The headache you feel is your brain expanding.\u201d
But he said I didn\u2019t have to be super all the time if I didn\u2019t want to. A great relief to me, because I know full well what an albatross being super 24-7 can be. He told me I could use key words to cue him for when I wanted to super up and power down. So, I picked \u201cFantastic!\u201d to cue my powers, using a jump in the air as a visual punctuation mark, and \u201cDone!\u201d for when I wanted to quit. Then he zapped up a uniform for my superhero identity, partially based on the pajamas I was wearing at the time.
(That\u2019s my old one, not the one I have on now. Long story, but you\u2019ll hear all of it soon.)
So, that\u2019s why I call myself Captain Fantastic when I\u2019m a superhero. Otherwise, I\u2019m just plain old Olivia.
The only condition Lightsound gave me for having my powers was that I show other kids the way they could unlock their potential the way he did mine. By translating their deepest mental desires into physical realities. Hence those famous kids-only seminars I hold once in a while. If they\u2019ll let me, that is.
Then he left, saying all I needed to do to contact him was call his name, and he\u2019d be there. Swell guy.
Anyhow, I\u2019m sorry if I wasted your time filling in my life story, but, like I said, the rest of what happened to me, then won\u2019t make a lot of sense to you if I don\u2019t do that first.
And speaking of the rest of the story\u2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
