A/N: Hey peeps, a bit of fun and humour for you now as I've focused mainly on the angst and romance so far, so I hope this little story makes you feel good ;) I got this idea as I've recently read loads of stories for some challenge about the CSI's getting superpowers? I have to say they were pretty awesome XD Enjoy!

Summary – During some down time at the lab, Henry and Hodges match their friends up to their suited superpowers.

Superpowers

Henry and Hodges were sat in the break room during some down time at the lab. For once, it what seemed like forever, they were having a slow crime day and had some time to kill (ironic huh?). The CSI's were at their desks catching up on paperwork, leaving the lab techs with little to do.

"If you had a super power, what would it be?" Henry asked with a thoughtful look as he sat down with his coffee.

Hodges was not at all stumped by the younger man's random questioning "Super strength" the trace tech replied almost instantly "You know…not that I think about it a lot…."

"Really?" Henry said wrinkling his nose. "No I don't think that would suit you" he said shaking his head and Hodges looked deeply offended. "Nick would be super strength"

Hodges considered this for a moment "Yeah I can see that, he does have the Clark Kent look about him."

"Not to mention his biceps" Henry blurted out.

Hodges gave him an unimpressed look "Don't be weird Henry"

"Sorry" the younger man blushed "So what would Grissom have do you think?" he asked trying to move on.

"Well… he's kind of like Professor Xavier and we're his X-men!" Hodges said excitedly "So I guess he'd be able to read minds and stuff… a telepath."

"Mmm that makes sense, he's all about knowledge. Although I don't know how I'd feel about Grissom being able to see my thoughts" Henry said subconsciously raising a hand to his head.

"How about Catherine?" Hodges pondered; the matching up of people to their powers was actually kind of fun.

"Hmm, I think she'd have force fields" Henry decided "because she's very protective. Then she'd have to have invisibility too because they always go together."

"Yeah that's a good fit" Hodges said "but I find it hard to imagine Catherine sneaking up on people" he didn't see Henry's growing smile.

"Boo!" a female voice said and hand grabbed hold of Hodges' shoulder, the trace tech nearly fell off his chair in surprise and Henry burst out laughing. "Thought disproved" Catherine said with a laugh as she went to pick up a coffee and then headed back to her office.

"Ok…" Hodges said shaking his head to regain focus "Catherine has invisibility and force fields. Thanks for the warning, by the way" he added sarcastically and Henry just shrugged.

"You should have seen the look on your face" the Tox tech said with a grin.

"Alright, alright" Hodges said with a roll of his eyes. "Ok, so Warrick should be invincible. That's a given."

"Yeah he's really tough" Henry agreed "I can't believe he was a geek in high school. He looks like one of the guys who'd force me to do their homework at my school."

"Same here" Hodges said with a sigh "but that's the cool thing about Warrick, he's got an equal balance of book smarts and street smarts. I bet he'd be good in a fight, so yeah he'd be invincible."

"How about Sara?" Henry said. He too was quite enjoying the game. "Oh I know! Pyrokinesis" he said with a happy smile. "Being able to create and manipulate fire" he elaborated when Hodges gave him a confused look.

"Ah because of her fiery, feisty nature" Hodges said and Henry nodded "That's a good one, although I already don't like to get on the wrong side of Sara, so if she could shoot fire… well that would be more than just bad."

Henry nodded in agreement "It already feels like she can sometimes. I like her a lot but… she's kind of intimidating sometimes."

"Oh man up Henry"

"But you just said..!"

"Greg" Hodges said resting his chin in his hand "What would Greg have?"

"Easy, super speed" Henry said with a grin "Just because he's so hyper and active, and he appears out of nowhere!"

"Yeah I could see that, he's just so eager. You should have seen him when he was a lab tech" Hodges added "But someone how Greg annoying me at one hundred times the speed he normally does is not very appealing."

Henry laughed "No I think Greg's a pretty awesome guy"

Just then the two were interrupted by Archie getting himself a cup of coffee "What are you two losers up to?" the AV tech asked as he waited for the pot to boil.

"Matching people up to their superpowers" Henry told him.

"Oh, and what do you guys have?" Archie asked curiously.

"Well I'd be a teleporter" Henry said with a smug grin "Because as lab rats we need to deliver results quick and locate CSI's fast… plus I just think it's awesome"

"Fair enough" Archie said "How about you?" he asked Hodges.

"Well… I guess the idea of walking through walls is pretty cool. Again I'd get places quicker… and I could freak people out, like a ghost" he said with an evil grin.

"How about you Arch?" Henry enquired.

"As If you even have to ask" he said with a role of his eyes "Technopathy" Hodges and Henry looked at him blankly. "Manipulating machines" he said as if it were obvious.

"But you do that already" Henry pointed out.

Archie laughed "No this would be at beyond human level, just think of it as talking to machines and them responding instantly."

"Well I think we'd make a pretty good team of supers" Hodges said smugly.

"Yeah!" Henry agreed "Better than the Avengers and the Justice League put together."

Archie's pager beeped "Looks like playtime is over guys. That's the bat signal. We got some real bad guys to catch"

"Alright, Lab techs away!" Henry exclaimed and Archie and Hodges laughed.

They may not have real superpowers, but fighting for justice of those who'd lost possessions and lives was super hero enough.

Hehe I liked writing this one, as you can tell I took each power into deep consideration XD do you agree? In fact tell me what your super power would be! I'm interested to know :) Also I love Henry and Hodges' friendship, its great!
