I know it's the dull answer, but if I could have any super power it would have to be flight. I've always been fascinated with the idea of it - connected to escapism I guess.
Magical healing also interests me greatly. I wonder, if you had those abilities, how you would ever cope with the guilt of taking a moment to yourself? Assuming that these abilities weren't common it could create a huge guilt complex - so many people in the world that can be saved by you, and only you, and you just don't have to time to get to all of them.
I write fantasy and science fiction based horror myself. One of my current projects involved me considering the idea of a world where having powers was relatively common, and how this would create an environment of envy. I mean, if you had the choice, I don't think *anyone* would choose to be normal over having powers. As such in this world the people who have the powers have an average life span of twenty two years. I wanted to throw something in there to complicate it, to shake up that balance a bit.
Got another idea brewing where the protagonist's ability is to unlock abilities in other people. I love the psychology of superheroes and fantasy worlds.

Sure, add me if you like. I normally go by the name Lentil, instead of Lunarsea. As for powers or whatnot, go with what you think would best add to the story. Dramatic value and stuff.
Perhaps you could test the doctor's need to keep their power secret? That'd make interesting conflict. I've always wondered if you'd get people who'd hire themselves out if they had those kind of powers - and possibly not even for life-saving treatment, but for cosmetic stuff too. Seeing someone else doing that could create an interesting tension for the doctor, who wants to point the finger but can't speak up too much?
Sorry, I've gone off on one now.
