sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

[Well, one more chance to make his PSA, kinda, it seems.]

I'm a werewolf. You can be born that way, but I was bitten by my dad when I was 12. He was born that way, though.

Some asshole shoved some magic junk in my head and now I can do who-the-hell knows what because nobody bothered telling me proper.

RADIATION EXPOSURE GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO REGENERATE IF I'M INJURED AND SOMETIMES IF I'M PISSED I CAN SHOOT A RADIATION BLAST FROM MY WHOLE BODY.

[He really really can't.]

[saveyourserpent]

I don't really have anything anyone'd call "powers", except, I don't know, the power of my fists? Knew a psychic, though.

[ Oh man, she's going to stalk this post to keep an eye on people (AND SHE'S LOOKING AT YOU, WEREWOLF BOY) because this is crazy useful, thank you friend.

Her contribution, though, is less than stellar. ]

What if you don't have any powers?

You know, there were probably way more tactful ways to ask that.

[JUST SAYING. Some people might be sensitive about that sort of thing.]

But to answer your question, I can do magic. [Which is not at all a secret even though maybe Zatanna shouldn't just go around telling strangers that, oops.] You have to be born with the potential for it, oooor go through some really wicked life changes, but those who can still have to develop their powers. It's as much a skill as it is an ability.

i don't know if i'd consider this a super power because it's more of like an extreme fucking annoyance but i pretty much can't die

[ unless you blast him with an electromagnetic pulse, but he prefers not to think about that!! ]

and i can possess people and... things?
or well i could, i don't know if i can do it here.

[Another one totally stalking this post, but for xenophobic reasons.]

I'm a biotic because of two freak incidents. My mother was exposed to element zero dust in a starship accident over our colony while she was pregnant with me, and then there was another one when I was a teenager.

Why do you ask?

I HAVE LOADS OF MAGIC! AS A MATTER OF FACT, I ESSENTIALLY AM MAGIC!

I CAN CREATE SEVERAL TYPES OF COOL BONE ATTACKS, AND I CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A SOUL! BUT ONLY IN ONE WAY.

[forfeits]

I don't know that it qualifies as a power, but I can use alchemy. Manipulate and transform matter, but I don't think it's really a power so much as it is a science.

[ so many people have found out about it by now, that it's likely no big secret at all. ]

[averagemedium]

I'm a medium- the "I see dead people" type, not the palm reading type. I mean, I do a little bit of that kind of stuff too but it's not related to my sense or anything, you know?

Practically speaking, the sixth sense business means I see and talk to ghosts as well as pick up on markers left behind where someone's died. I can sense living folks too, so long as they're not just baseline human.

[He's just leaving off the possession thing here, it's... not something anyone needs to know.]

As far as I'm aware, I was born with it, but I have no idea if it's genetic or what.

[ Trying to hide her own powers from the crew (even if she's already told/accidentally showed them off to some of them), this post naturally catches Elsa's attention. She's heard that others here have powers, though she's not really gotten into discussing them all that much.

And she's certainly never told anyone what hers are to a stranger before at least introducing herself. But she's interested, admittedly. She is reluctant to respond, but in the end goes for it. ]

I have the power to control ice and snow, to essentially manipulate it in whatever way I please. It's something I was born with.

[ Though it often feels like she must have been cursed... ]

Why are you asking?

[Andrew's getting a close up of Peter's shark-like grin.]

You know, using the word freak in this instance might not be the best move. One man's freak accident is another man's best day ever. Know what I'm saying? And to answer your question, I guess the faster than a bullet thing counts.

Kid, that is like the creepiest question to do over text.

Why do you want to know?

[ See he may have not figured out a good reason, but Bruce won't share without getting a good answer to that first. Not that it matters much; half the ship already knows what he is, it's not as if keeping the other guy a secret is a priority to him anymore. ]

who's asking?
And what for?

[ This sounds really suspicious. And after the last couple days she's had? Nope. ]

[Bruce makes good on his earlier promise, and much later this reply comes in:]

Dr. Banner told me you were looking for help understanding your powers.
