You wake up and you're standing on a stage at a podium, spotlight's on you. You've got 15-20 minutes to give a Ted Talk (aka speech) on a subject you know by heart, no prep. If you fuck up you die (I'm adding this part in for dramatic effect). No, you can't use your powers to get out of the situation because no one cares about your powers or how sexy and badass you are in this scenario. You're giving a Ted Talk. It is what it is.
