"So what was your weakness?" Yvonne asked me the moment I returned from testing. It had gone on for hours and I was beyond exhausted when it was over. My extra strength was tested to confirm if it was truly invulnerable and sure enough no weaknesses were detected even with any allergens. My telekinesis was tested and only possible weaknesses were any other person with similar powers or a place with zero gravity.

"The usual someone with similar powers could be a source of worry. Nothing some training can't help with." I said with a shrug, deciding to omit the anti gravity part.

"If we work together. We can overcome our weaknesses. Only weakness I have are allergens. Raw milk." She revealed to me.

"But raw milk is not only illegal, it's rare." I pointed out.

"Even though, I'd need to train harder to fight my weakness."

"Point made."

"We'd have to be prepared for the unexpected."

Toni walked into the room the room the moment we sat down. If it could be called a walk. She looked like she'd seen a ghost and she shivered as she ambled painfully.

"That was... the most... traumatising... experience of my life." She wheezed then planted herself beside us with great difficulty. "And I am the middle child in a Caribbean household who can't get a job because I have powers."

"That bad huh?" Yvonne asked.

"I was using my powers at max capacity for hours while they tested allergens and simulations of different powers on me."

"Did they find anything?"

"Nothing important. My weakness is something that doesn't exist. At least not for centuries."

"What do you mean?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"My only weakness is a Minuteman or Minutewoman." She revealed.

"Those haven't existed since the dreaded Amargeddon first landed here." I said, a little confused at the development.

"In fact, there has only been one of those." Yvonne added.

Most powers were recycled several times, sometimes people had similar powers in the same year. However, there were certain powers that went extinct over time. The first power to go extinct was the ability to manipulate time. There had only been one person with such abilities and nobody after that. Other powers were the power of hypnosis, animal abilities and being able to control more than one element. They all became extinct eventually.

"I think I am going to sleep for maybe a century." Toni groaned.

"Are you in pain?" I asked her.

"A lot."

"Do you need to see an attendant?"

"Maybe."

Yvonne sprang to her feet at the same time Jacqueline walked in with her hair dripping.

"Now what happened to you?" Toni groaned at the sight of her.

"I had to fight my way out of freezing water with ankle weights tied to my legs. Not only that, I had all kinds of icy simulations used on me. I was tested for allegies too. The feiry room was the cherry on top."

"That's rough buddy." I shook my head. "So what are your weaknesses?"

"I don't really have any." She shrugged and walked past us to plop down on the nearest chair. "I'm pretty sure I vomited in there."

"Ewwwww." I scrunched up my nose. "You better go wash your mouth.

"Way ahead of you." She retorted.

"Um guys?" Toni sighed from beside me. "Are you taking me to see an attendant or are we staying here all day?"

"My bad." I said apologetically and carefully helped her up.

Yvonne came over to lend a hand herself. "Sorry."

"What happened to you?" Jacqueline asked, her face taking on a mask of shock.

"You don't wanna know." Toni groaned.
