Administrative assistant almost no more. Leaving Vancouver the loving care of an over protective sister for Regina, known to me as home, for the loving care of over protective parents. You may ask what a super hero is doing in Regina? The answer is that one of the best training schools for super heroes resides in this small and sleepy city. Plus, my parents believe small and quiet places are the best for retirement from superherodom and you don't get much smaller or quieter than Saskatchewan.

I'll be going back to Super School - I know, I know, not the most original name but super heroes are not necessarily creative. Actually, I think most super heroes are rather materialistic and not very artistic at all. It doesn't help that the most useful things for a superhero are technological and therefore a lot of focus is put on the technical and scientific aspects of our lives. We live in the twentieth century, just like the rest of the world, except our technology may be slightly better. Since superheroes do generally live in larger, urban centres where villains are more likely to attack, their children are flown in by jet daily. I, personally, have always felt lucky that my school is no more than a twenty minute drive away. A school for superheroes must be in a country away from anyone who might get hurt. On the outside is looks like an ordinary ramshackle barn surrounded by fields of wheat in summer and snow in the winter, common in the countryside of Saskatchewan. But underground there's rooms and rooms devoted to teaching.

I can't wait to return and begin my second year at Super School. I still laugh at the name every time I say it. Lately, I've taken to not saying the name of my school, but simply calling it school. The worst part is that Super Schools exist all over North America and in characteristic superhero creativity are simply numbered. I attend Super School 5. They sound more like prisons than schools.

School will come soon enough, for now it's enough to help my sister. I called myself an administrative assistant - minion might be a better word. I do whatever she doesn't want to do around the office. And there haven't even been any villains trying to take over Vancouver since I've been here. On the bright side, there hasn't been any rain, and Vancouver's famous for the amount of rain it gets. I'll just continue to wait and hope that the evil villains haven't all gone on vacation for the summer because I return home in four days and it would be a shame to not experience at least one attack by an evil villain in the big city. Maybe crossing my fingers will help . . .
