Introductory Superhuman Physics, Period 4 [10-21]

"Good afternoon, class," Jean-Paul said. "Take your seats and please be quiet; today is your midterm and I would hate to have to fail any of you." Well, actually he wouldn't, but. "Your task is simple: turn in to me by the end of this period a brief essay discussing a superpower you have or a superpower you would like to have, and the evidence for and against such a thing being possible beyond, 'Well, I can do it.' Begin."

Talk, fret, catch a last-minute nap...

Midterm? A test?! Momoko hadn't studied at all during break. "Not that it would've helped much with an essay test," she muttered as she fumbled in her bag for her lucky pen. "Man, I really need to read that school calendar."

Handwaved is fine.

Gavin thought for a minute before he started in on his essay. He'd finally decided on the superpower of controlling time for the simple fact that so many things could be prevented or put into motion if you knew what was going to happen in the future.

His evidence for the superpower was the rumors of time machines cropping up here and there and the fact that Fandom itself had people from the past and from the future so time travel was real even if how to travel time hadn't been discovered.

His argument against was that controlling something like time could be seen as controlling destiny and maybe no one should mess with destiny. If you're supposed to be on one path and you alter that, who knows how many threads you'll affect and maybe time should just be left alone.

Strangely enough, this was the first written test Ben had ever had.

His essay was a slightly ramble-y discussion of his ability to have perfect recall of conversations and events. He looked at it from a judicial perspective: how such an ability was useless in a courtroom setting because of how the mind could play tricks on a person in what it chose to remember, or how it could affect a person by the trauma they had to see over and over and over.

Ben might've given just a little too much of himself away in that essay.

Warren's essay was, naturally, about his ability to raise his temperature enough to burn things, about how he could control what percentage of his body burned, how he could throw balls of flame with no sort of core to fuel them, and about how, even if there was some sort of scientific explanation to any of it, he really didn't give a hoot.

Hence, "Well, I can do it."

Peter thought about it, then wrote an essay about wishing he had the power to better control his powers. He explained how he didn't mind borrowing powers from others, but that he'd prefer greater control over which ones he had or when they activated.

Francine's was, shockingly, about flight, winged or not. Her evidence for mostly consisted of (sometimes, rarely, she thought she was smart) "Well, you can do it" but she did go into how nobody from her own world could except in comic books. She also remembered the part about hollow bones, and how people don't usually come equipped with those.

Johnny's essay was kind of short. He wasn't a great elaborator. On paper or otherwise.

And writing about his superpower was relatively easy given the fact that he wasn't born with it. He talked a little about that: the before and after. Really he just wrote a paragraph on what he can do and that he wouldn't want it any other way.

Viki's essay wasn't exactly on topic. She, instead, wrote a great deal about the term 'superpower' was misleading as many of the powers and talents could be obtained, especially here, through other methods be they magic, or mechanical.

There was also a lengthy section of the essay devoted to why she didn't think people with superpowers were any better, or worse, than those without.

Viki did not particularly care if she got no marks at all for this.

Katchoo's essay was a long, rambling, increasingly illegible scrawl about being invisible and how if it wasn't really plausible, it should be, dammit.

It was also illustrated.

Morbidly.

John rambled, deciding to bypass making sense for the option of being enthusiastic about what he would do if he could fly.

Momoko chewed on her pen and wondered what to write about. She finally decided to start with how she first got her powers and the impossible to explain difference in the effects of Chemical Z exposure, including when Mojo created the Rowdyruff Boys.

"Ugh!" It disgusted her to even think about them. She stuck out her tongue at the page as she wrote their names.

Alec shrugged and sketched out an essay on his overall abilities, with a lot of the science included to back them up.

OMG so mean.

I think I need a nap.
