The outing of closet superheroes/esses is a cause Magnet Strip Girl has long championed. Well, at least as long as she herself has been "out". MSG comes from a generation on Alterno World that is heavy in angst ridden superheroes/esses that for whatever reason have chosen to live their life in denial of their superpowers and calling. And so, once she had made her own personal leap out of the closet, it was natural for her to encourage other late blooming superhero/esses to do likewise.
Thus, Magnet Strip Girl was not surprised to receive a call recently from another heretofore lbs (who goes by the name iPodite--ryhmes with Aphrodite). As the reader may easily guess, iPodite is a goddess extremely fluent in things iPodly. But I digress.
The phone call of note reached MSG whilst in the midst of carting PE to yet another appointment at the ASAP(aging superhero/es administration place, not to be confused with the phrase "as soon as possible"). Since Magnet Strip Girl takes road safety seriously, she pulled onto a safe parking area and turned off the engine of her superheroess transport machine as she said "hello?" PE, exhausted from his aging superhero physical therapy session nodded quietly as he catnapped beside her.
On the end of the line, or rather thinking she was at the end of her line, was the afore introduced iPodite. iPodite was in a panic, concerned that her first mission of mercy went well. (MSG is also a superhero/es counselor-at-large, well skilled in encouraging late blooming superhero/esses to take that first step into superhero/es-dom). MSG asked her usual opening question, "is it secret, is it safe?", referring of course to iPodite's secret identity. Revelation of one's secret identity whilst caught up in the adrenaline surge of one's first assignment has gotten many an lbs off to a bad start in the realm of fighting crime in Alterno World. iPodite assured MSG that her secret identity(cubicled high profile mega employee company semi-technogeek) was indeed still secret and safe. As iPodite recounted her first brief out of the closet assignment as an late blooming superhero/esses it became clear to MSG that Alterno World was indeed in safe hands.
"Another one out of the closet". MSG smiled as she hung up her phone and cautiously pulled the superhero/ess transport machine back onto the road.
