That would be a fun one! You could have a telekinetic ability that makes you stick to the wall, or the static cling one from earlier could help you get up. Instead of spiderman, you’re spider-borrower. Sam won’t be able to catch up!

This one would be particularly useful against rats. No one likes a mouthful of electricity (though in their case the weird tingling in their whiskers might serve as a warning). Lets just hope it’s something they can actually turn off when they don’t need it though…
They’ll have to work on practicing once they realize they’re doing it on purpose, that’s for sure. They don’t want to accidentally be lighting up the room when they’re trying to sneak away with supplies!
Via @enby-phoenix:
I think, especially the younger kids, this is perfectly possible. Luckily, in normal cases they don’t build up enough static electricity to stick to the walls, but if someone’s power is static electricity… Someone might come home to find an annoying younger sibling sticking to the wall and glaring daggers.
That kind of ability would certainly come as a surprise to the lil guy! Imagine as they grow older and get stronger with it, running around zapping their friends with mini lightning bolts when they’re bored, and sticking stuff to the wall with static cling!
There’s certainly a wealth of possibilities for what borrowers could have in the walls, and not all of them even realize they have it, or are like Walt, and never manifested it (the extreme stress he was under during The Ties That Bind is what broke his block in the end, giving him the chance to save his family).

I think Dean would be pretty jealous of that kind of ability!
If we classified this, it would probably be a very low-level version of Reality Warping, or essokinesis, one of the stronger abilities a borrower could have. It would take a lot of effort, and likely leave you with a headache and bloody nose when you’re first learning how, but it could be very useful in small doses.
I make it this because all borrowers are great at Macguyvering their equipment from very limited access to supplies, so to go beyond that is something special indeed.

If you have trouble with heights, this would be super useful! Just think, if you freeze up one time when climbing and fall, it would be the perfect way to keep from crashing into the ground! Practice enough and you could make it like hitting a pillow when you get a few inches away from the ground.

Not everything’s going to be useful when borrowing, and that’s okay! They’re useful survival skills, whether they help get food and supplies or not. Keeping the people in your community calm when there’s a disaster happening can be just as important as being able to snag a few extra crackers, and this kind of ability is perfect for that.

Knowing what they think of you can be pretty dangerous! It’s sometimes better to have a little mystery. I’m with you on the empathy!

Mantis is the secret weapon of the group, it’s definitely a great ability to have!

If you refine it enough, you could give Sherlock a run for his money with deductions!

It’s like you’re a cat! A borrower cat! Always land on your feet, even if someone drops you! (Don’t drop the borrowers, kids).
