[ WP ] Almost everyone develops a superpower sometime before his/her 15th birthday . The later the power develops , the stronger the ability . You have not yet developed your power and today is your 18th birthday .

It was the morning of my eighteenth birthday. 
 “ Good morning, Regular, ” said Anna. She sat down next to me and began to stare at my glass of water. In a few seconds a whirlpool formed in the glass, throwing water all over the table. 
 “ Cut it out Anna, ” I grumbled. 
 It was a fairly useless power, developed when she was only seven years old. 
 “ Ken may yet still get powers, he was born in the afternoon! ” shouted mom from the other room. Unfortunately for Anna and I, she developed her power long after most. Her super-hearing was discovered at the late age of nearly seventeen. 
 “ I bet you ’ re going to be a Regular, just like Dad ” whispered Anna. 
 “ And there is nothing wrong with that dear! ” mom exclaimed from the next room. 
 But I didn ’ t want to be a Regular. Very few people those days did not have powers. Being a Regular was shameful, even if mother didn ’ t say it. But I knew, and so did Anna. Even a power as seemingly useless as Anna ’ s was better than no power. 
 Anna singled out a droplet of water and made it levitate in the air in front of my face. I watched it with a somber expression on my face. A mischievous smile spread across Anna ’ s lips, and she shot the droplet into my face. 
 I jumped to my feet, knocking over the chair I was sitting on. Anna jumped up too, and started running. I knew it wasn ’ t worth chasing her. Slowly I turned around and picked up my chair, and sat back down. 
 “ What ’ s going on in here? ” Dad said as he walked into the room. He didn ’ t need super-hearing to hear the commotion we had caused. 
 From the next room mother said, “ Anna is teasing Ken about being a Regular. ” 
 “ Oh Ken, there is nothing wrong with being a Regular. ” 
 “ I know, but I really wanted to get a power, like everyone else. ” 
 Father gave me a forlorn look. Not knowing what to say, he turned to make his morning coffee. 
 Sighing, I placed my head in my hands and closed my eyes. The sound of the faucet sounded like a waterfall to me, and I felt a mist of water on my face. Furiously I opened my eyes, ready to do battle with Anna. 
 But all I could do was smile; I wouldn ’ t be a regular after all.
