Mutant

I’ve been dreaming of having hidden superpowers since I was young. Thinking about how I could use them in many different ways thrills me. If only I had superpowers, I would’ve done anything and everything I want and need with no hesitation. I want to have the power of absolute word. With that, I’d only have to state what I desire to have it.

 I did a lot of play fights with my brother back when I was still a kid. We acted as if we knew mixed martial arts, as if we had superhuman strength, as if we were mutants. Being a girl and a year younger than him meant I was weaker. I would often find myself wishing I were more clever, stronger and braver.  Had I possessed such power, I would’ve beat off people I hate and criminals and put them to jail.

I want to be able to use not just one, but all five elements of nature.  Just like Aang from the cartoon series ‘Avatar,’ but with an addition of the element space, I want to master water, earth, fire and air bending. That way, I could do air bending, fly up to the sky and lie down and relax in the fluffy clouds as I watch the sunset or the beautiful night sky. I could also do some water bending and surround myself with water in blazing hot weather. When camping or just when I feel like it, I could setup bonfires and roast marshmallows.

 If I were to choose between having telekinesis and telepathy abilities, I’d choose both. There’s no in-between. I want what I want. I love animals and with telepathy, I could converse with them normally through mind link. How awesome would that be? I could also listen to what people think in their minds and discover their secrets effortlessly but only whenever I want to. I could wander around in people’s dreams and interfere with them. With the power of telekinesis, I could be able to levitate and move things without needing to stand up and reach for them. I’m just too lazy to get up and physically touch stuffs I need to. I could also use the ability to protect myself. All I had to do was use anything near me as a weapon. Heck, telekinesis itself is a weapon. Oh! I almost forgot, I could pass or even perfect my tests with telepathy! 

The combo of teleportation, invisibility and time travel is superb! Imagine having to travel in the past where there were only flowers, grass, trees and small houses from afar. That would be wonderful!I could go back to old moments and make even more memories. With invisibility, I could explore the past without people seeing me, thinking how different I am from them. I could take breath-taking pictures of the land, the sky and the water. I could take home souvenirs from the past or from the future. I could own and access all the high-tech gadgets and inventions from the future while people are stuck on their Iphones and Androids. Just my imagination of the place where I want to be is all that I would need for teleportation and time travelling. No need to save up for money. No need to worry about costly expenses. I just have to dream and think of all the best things in life to achieve them.

Having an x-ray vision and the ability to phase walk are also on my list. I could peek at both girls and guys without them knowing. I could just pass through tangible objects without needing to walk the lefts and rights of the path. I could own an invisible space car and drive to school or wherever I want in straight routes without the maddening crowd and traffic. I wouldn’t have to worry about stoplights and running over people, well, Filipinos, who are born jaywalkers. 

Lastly, my list of  hidden powers cannot be completed without the power of self-cloning or self-multiplication. Being the lazy person I am, I could just replicate myself and send my own clone to school while I savor my 15 hour beauty sleep. And when my replica arrives home, she'd do my schoolwork and homework for me. After she's done with everything, we would play and hangout and shop together like normal people. We'd go to arcades, have food-trips and lots of fun as though we were twins, something I know I will never experience.  

I could so much stuffs done in no time. I could study the courses I love the best, Biology and Astronomy. I could paint all I want and make a name for myself. I could play with animals and take care of them, travel the world, establish charities for the poor and give them necessities like homes, foods, clothing etc. 

If killing weren’t a sin, maybe more than hundreds of people would be dead already. I know it's hypocritical of me to say I want to be prevent crimes, but let's be honest, who wouldn't want to torture and execute someone who has raped or killed children or worse, a relative of yours. To be honest, I find it hard to believe there are people who stay innocent. 

I would be careful If I were to acquire such power of absolute word.
