[ Wp ] Everyone has their ultimate abilities.20 years of cooldown , using it at the most fitting moments is important .

I do n't know how anyone else sees it but to me 20 years is an awfully long time. 
 
 When we're born, we have no idea what our ultimates are. Most researchers seem to think they arise out of `` hidden potential''. After that, they remain in a state of permanency: when you call them again they'll have the same effect as the first time. 
 
 Some people never use their ultimates. They wait and wait for the opportune moment and it never comes; fact is, most people do n't have crisis `` make or break'' moments in their lives. It got to the point where the terminally ill would always be sent home when they reached critical condition; whilst most ultimates are harmless in the damage sense, some have explosive or violent potential. 
 
 I used my ultimate for the first time when I was 24. I'd just qualified as a nurse and was working diligently on some paperwork when the first victims came in. Some kind of experimental bomb had gone off in the upper atmosphere. Thousands with toxins in the bloodstream, unable to breathe. Those inside had n't been hit too hard at first but as the minutes ticked by and the vapours circulated around even the largest buildings, we started to feel the effects, myself included. 
 
 I did n't know what to do. We needed a solution but our chemists were stumped, and surgery was n't helping. People were dying. 
 
 I remember thinking that we needed a solution to this problem, right now. 
 
 I checked my wristwatch, noted the time, and dropped my ultimate. And suddenly, everything became clear. I knew exactly what I had to do. I walked to the lab, batted the confused technicians aside and worked harder than I'd ever worked in my life. 
 
 They called my ultimate a `` hyper-processing'' ultimate. They said it gathered things I'd already heard or seen or done and put them to use; even if I'd long since forgotten. A niche power that came through in the moment but did n't have any world-breaking applications. 
 
 They never caught the person who made that bomb. I wish they had. When the T Plague happened 10 years later, we could have really used my ultimate. Over 20,000 people died in six days. 
 
 The next time I used my ultimate was at the age of 46. I'd been in the bank when an armed robbery had started. They'd tied our arms and put bags over our heads to keep us quiet. The situation had built to a standoff between the Police and the thieves which kept getting worse. One of the hostages had dropped his super strength ultimate and been immediately shot by one of the criminals. The Police would not let them get away, and as the criminals prepared to shoot another hostage ( a young cashier ) she had screamed for someone to help her. 
 
 I remember thinking that I needed to save all these people from the robbers. 
 
 I dropped my ultimate. What happened next is a blur to me. But when my ultimate ended I was stood in the middle of the room with seven incapacitated criminals next to me. 
 
 My arms were still tied behind my back with a bag over my head. Blinded. 
 
 All seven of the criminals had dropped their ultimates. 
 
 I'd stopped all of them. 
 
 At the end of it all, the press had reported my success as a victory of `` brains over brawn'', where my own experiences watching martial arts movies and so on had been reproduced by my ultimate. 
 
 They'd said that my ultimate was a hyper-processing ultimate. 
 
 They were absolutely 100 % wrong. 
 
 I am now 66. Exactly 20 long years since my last ultimate. I have spent the past six years gathering supplies and restocking a lab. It's been difficult; the world has really gone bad in the last fifteen years. Economically, the entire country is bankrupt. The environment is worse than it's ever been thanks to a brief nuclear skirmish between some small countries. I'm still working at the hospital, but we ca n't help most of the people that come in. We simply do n't have the resources. Crime is high. And once again, people are dying. My own family included. 
 
 We need a way out. Too many problems, not enough solutions. 
 
 As I drop my long-awaited ultimate, I think that I need to be able to use my ultimate more often. 
 
 An hour later there is a solution on the table.
