Top five most desired superpowers, emphatically in order:
1) Flight. I fucking want to fly.
2) The ability to learn any new language in like, five minutes. Including programming languages and whatever it is the Technarchs speak.
3) Telekinesis. The stronger, the better—both the ability to rearrange atoms and the ability to launch satellites into orbit seem neat—but I’d settle for the ability to push my glasses up my nose (cr. The Girl With Silver Eyes), or to turn a page in a book. Or, let’s be real here, the ability to levitate my phone so I can read it for hours without having to hold it in my hands.
4) Telepathy. But the good kind, where you have to like, reach out to hear people’s thoughts, and not the kind where you’re relentlessly and involuntarily bombarded with them as if you were sitting in the middle of a noisy cafeteria full of shouting people.
5) Teleportation. I fucking want to teleport.
