In the last night WiP game a question came up: how a Possible power is played in the fiction? easy is self explanatory. Difficult need time, control or concentration. Borderline in a life threatening situation. But how a possible power is triggered, able to be used or played in the fiction?

You could trigger it after using advances to shift it down to Borderline 😉
Thats should be a use of the push move as I see it.
I usually treat it like a Phoenix-force, repressed power inside them that needs to be triggered to get out under extreme circumstances (though it’s not always that powerful or destructive of course) kinda thing. So I’ll ask the player what happened the last time they did it (powers of the Powers Profile are established because the PC has used those powers before so I’ll often ask players to tell me about the time they learned how to use X Power on their Profile – it helps differentiate between the levels and gets you some cool flashbacks).
From there, I usually work with them to figure out what needs to happen in order for them to unleash their full potential. It has even ended up generating some pretty cool story arcs a la Dark Phoenix Saga, and even when it doesn’t it’s a great way to get some backstory.
