Secret Identity Blues

“I just used my control over interdimensional vibrations to disrupt Dr. Malevolo’s cosmic tuning fork.” said Jenny Everywhere, defender of all that is good and just.

“Sounds good to me,” said the Sea-Queen. “But wait, you said a date with Paul tonight. How can you keep it without giving away your secret identity?”

“I, uh… I haven’t seen it yet.”
