My eyelids flutter open, and my head's throbbing has died down.

I discover that I'm in the nurses office, on the examination bed. Lights are shining on me, and I squint.

"Hello?" I say in a weak voice.

I've just realized that the distant buzzing is back.

Wait. I remember now! Why I fainted!

I discovered that I have powers!

My body tenses up, ready to go into faint mode again. I turn it off.

So, I can hear other people's thoughts, and I have X-Ray vision.

Awesome!

But how?

Duh! The healing serum must've done it!

Did I add the wrong ingredient? What did I do to make this happen?

Anyway, this is close to impossible.

In fact, it's scientifically impossible.

Is this a dream? I pinch myself to make sure.

Nope. It's real.

I fight the urge to scream out loud.

I HAVE SUPERPOWERS.
