~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s a rapt knock on your door, arrogantly enough to draw you away from the paperwork you’ve been diligently doing for your… Superiors. Usually a distraction would be welcome, but in this case you know it’s no one you care to see. Letting out a quiet sigh, you fold your hands and call out regretfully for whoever to enter.
“Yes, come in!” The door opens promptly and in steps Williams… Along with another man you’ve never seen before. He’s taller, younger, and his smile is bright enough to blind you. Perhaps an aspiring new hire? Certainly no one with experience down here, no. The excitement is far too displaced. Williams marches straight up to your desk with the man, eyes wide as he gazes down at you.
“Good morning Dr._____.” You murmur a good morning back, bringing your cold coffee up to your lips for a sip. Honestly, you have so much work to do and such a tight schedule to do so. Playing Williams silly little games is always a nuisance, especially since he’s the one piling on the work. He tilts his head to the side toward the new man, an odd little smile on his face. It repulses you ever so slightly.
“I’d like to introduce you to Doctor Freeman. He transferred from this facility to another, but has decided to return after Andrews’… Unfortunate passing.” You nearly laugh out loud, something you’ll certainly have to reflect on later. Freeman extends his hand outward to you, and you shake it mindlessly. His grip is firm, nearly too tight as his hand engulfs yours.
“Dr. _____, I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s nice to finally put a face to the name.” His smile has been turning sharper by the second, eyes carefully hiding something away as they remain blank. It’s happening slowly, but with each passing minute you like him less and less. Clearing your throat, you manage to plaster on a fake smile.
“It’s nice to meet you as well. I’ll take it you’ll be filling Andrews’ position then?” He nods his head as Williams looks… Proud? Smug? You’re not quite sure. Is it possible you know this man? No, you’ve never seen him before, you’d remember the dumb way his head bobs as he nods enthusiastically.
“Correct! I’m excited to be stepping into my old shoes and taking off. I’d also like to work closely with you given the chance.” He steps impossibly closer and you feel the need to sink through the walls. There’s a sudden bang down the hall, the men ignoring it as you peer toward the door. Choosing to ignore it as well, you decidr to address the odd man.
“Closely with me…?” He hums as the banging continues, and you swear you hear a gunshot in the distance and… Screaming…? Perhaps it’s nothing to worry about. Perhaps it’s everything to worry about. The only thing you can currently worry about though is the way Freeman’s eyes nearly bug out of his head.
“Yes; I didn’t study psychology much during my schooling days but I find it quite… Interesting.” Interest is fine but his interest unsettles you wholeheartedly. Tapping your pen against the table a few times, the banging becomes louder steadily, and then stops. The three of you look toward the door, both men flinching as the loudest boom yet echoes from somewhere down the hall. You can’t even describe it; like some sort of guttural scream mixed with metal being torn.
“What was that sound…?” And then comes the screaming. The desperations echoes its way down the hall, the voices frantic enough to make you uneasy. It’s pretty clear what’s going on, but Williams just clears his throat and shrugs his shoulders like it’s nothing to worry about.
“I’m sure it’s nothing. Now, I wanted to ask you about that paperwork-“ He doesn’t get to finish his sentence before your door is ripped of its hinges and thrown into the wall, a blur flying through the room and onto Freeman. You catch a flash of silvery hair as both bodies fall to the ground and oh.
Oh. Oh no.
“Yoongi! Yoongi, hey, come on-“ You’re up and around your desk in seconds, torn between keeping your distance and trying to calm the obviously very pissed off Nightmare. It’s a fifty-fifty toss up between him going on a killing spree and coming down from his blood-lust, but you’ve got to try something. You slowly step closer, only to spot Williams taking something out of his pocket. You gape as pulls out a taser of all things, the oversized object clearly trying to make up for something.
You step between him and Yoongi, eyes blazing as the Nightmare continues to snarl down at the newest Doctor with malice. Williams tries to sidestep you, but you continue to use your body as a sort of wall between them. It’s shocking that none of these absolute morons have figured out how to deescalate a situation like this. What does he think he’s going to do? Taze him and not die horribly?
“Do not.” He scoffs but backs away, clearly not willing to risk his own precious life. It’s curious though; it’s more than he ever would have done for Andrews… Turning back and taking a step forward, you stand directly behind the Nightmare, hovering with an outstretched hand as he drags the other man off the floor.
“I’ll fucking rip you apart. Skin you alive, gouge your eyes out and eat your insides for a fucking snack and string the rest up on the walls. Would you like that?” He snarls his words darkly, spit flying as he chokes out Freeman. The doctor is starting to turn a shade of purple, his head cracking against the wall as Yoongi shoves him into it again. You can only begin to guess what he’s done to make Yoongi so angry in such a short amount of time. How long has he even been here?
“Please, Yoongi,-“ Finally touching his shoulder lightly, you try not to gasp in pain as a hand shoots out to grip your wrist violently. He drops the man and turns toward you, likely ready to kill, but thankfully gives pause. He stares, and you stare back quietly, eyes gentle and trying desperately to convey that it’s okay. That he’s okay.
Fully taking in his appearance, it’s obvious he’s already caused some sort of chaos. He’s covered in blood, splashes of it littering his face, some of it smudged as if he tried to rub it away. His pupils are blown, nostrils flared, but otherwise he looks like himself. Blood drips off his hand and onto your jacket, staining the perfect white a crimson red, but you don’t falter.
After comprehending just whose wrist he’s about to snap, a litany of emotions wash over his face before he settles on something grim. He looks anywhere but at you, his hand loosening and letting go slowly. Not thinking much about it, you grab his hand as he tries to draw away, his eyes snapping up towered yours, the shock there evident.
“I-Doctor I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to.” It’s quiet. It’s apologetic. Hell, it even sounds a little desperate. You wish he could tell how important all of them have become to you, that you know that they’re people too, that they matter. You nod your head, tightening your hand ever so slightly to try and sooth any remnants of his anger as pain twinges up your wrist.
“It’s okay, it’s alright. You didn’t mean to, I know that.” He continues to nod, composure growing slightly more anxious as he hunches into himself. You understand; vulnerability in front of these assholes isn’t something he desires, and so you try not to lean into that. But, you do need to get him out of here, and quickly.
“I need you to listen to me though, okay? You’ve got to come with me so we can get you washed up.” Looking him directly in the eye, you try to tell him. Try to tell him he’ll go down there, try to tell him that you don’t want that. You don’t want him to be tortured, you don’t want him to lose himself. You don’t want him to rot.
There’s a sudden rustling of clothing, a groan from the sad mess on the floor. Yoongi lashes out relatively often but there’s always a reason. Always. So, you’re sure Freeman’s broken face is somehow justified, especially as he starts to speak.
“No, I’ve missed 061309 quite a bit. I would love for him to join us down below instead after an episode like that.” Freeman’s voice is raspy, gross, absolutely grating on your poor ears as he cuts in. Glancing down toward the floor, you try not to giggle at the poor excuse of a blob laying there. You knew you were right about him. You knew, and you’d like to know more. You’ll have to speak to Hoseok on the matter; it’s been too long away no anyway.
“Well Doctor Freeman, I don’t really care what you would love. He’s my patient, he’s staying on this floor and he’s taking a nice hot shower. Also, I would appreciate if one of you would call to have my door fixed.” Taking the Nightmare by the arm, you start to drag him toward the door unceremoniously. There’s a shuffle as Freeman stands up, his whole body covered in grime.
“I wasn’t done talking to you.” It’s hard to take him seriously with his eye nearly swollen shut, and so you don’t. Not even turning back fully to acknowledge him, you finally enter the hallway with Yoongi on your heels. He doesn’t try to run or cause chaos, apparently having no issue with following you. You’re glad he’s in his right mind to understand the consequences of doing so.
“And I was quite done talking to you. Now, if you’ll excuse us.” Ignoring that you’re leaving those two alone in your office, you lead Yoongi down the hall, dead set on getting him cleaned up. You know he doesn’t like the mess when things die down, when he has time to calm, and something tells you he wasn’t very excited about this particular massacre.
“I didn’t mean to.” It’s quiet as he whispers it out, the almost desperate tone coming back. Stopping in the middle of the hall abruptly, you turn him toward you slowly. He won’t look you in the eye, staring past you but not with a hint of malice. Keeping your hands on his arms, you allow your voice to be the gentlest it’s ever been with him; with any of them.
“I know Yoongi. There’s really nothing to apologize for, though I do appreciate the gesture immensely. I can tell you’re not fond of Freeman so lashing out isn’t an uncalled for response.” You think that perhaps mentioning Freeman wasn’t a good idea as Yoongi’s face morphs in disgust. He takes deep breaths, clearly trying to control himself but not altogether able to.
“He’s disgusting. He should rot. I should have slaughter-“ Before he can fully fall into his anger again, there’s a soft call of ‘Yoongi’ from the other end of the hall. Glancing that way, you spot Jungkook standing there and looking immensely worried, still in civilian clothes and not his usual uniform. Once he catches your eyes, he starts to jog over.
“What happened? Are you okay?” The man actually grabs Yoongi’s jaw without hesitation, softly turning his face from side to side as if to examine him. You let the Nightmare go, fully allowing for Jungkook to take over the situation. You don’t think he realizes just what a blessing he is in situations like this; the nightmare certainly would have ripped off anyone else’s hands.
“… He’s back Jungkookie. I’m sorry, I almost ripped him apart for you, I wanted to make a pretty picture but-“ Jungkook blinks owlishly, wide eyes lost for a few moments but like a snap, they harden. He doesn’t let go of Yoongi as the man nuzzles into his hands, now likely feeling safe and yet still distressed.
“Freeman is back, huh?” Jungkook directs it at you, and you nod hesitantly at his correct guess. Clearly the man had some sort of reputation around here, and clearly it’s very, very bad. But as much as you’d like ask more questions, you have to get Yoongi to the showers. Holding a hand out, you gesture that you have to keep going.
“Ah, yeah, hold on. Come on Yoon, we gotta get you cleaned up. That’s a lot of blood ba-“ He cuts off, clearing his throat as he drops his hands from the Nightmares face. Yoongi whines, whines, and grabs the other man’s hands, gripping it tightly as Jungkook starts to tug him along. You hide your silent smile well.
“Jungkook, I trust you can take care of this yourself…? I have some matters to attend to. If any issues arise please come directly to me and I’ll handle them accordingly.” You give he man a knowing look, taking a few steps back to take your leave. After your little talk with Dr. Kim a few days back, you know it’s in your best interest to check in. Jungkook looks torn for a second but gives as Yoongi practically shoves his face into his neck.
“Yeah I got this, but. Uh… I think you and I need to talk. Later?” You give a curt affirmation that that’s fine because really, you want to know what’s got one of your Nightmares in such a tizzy. So much to do, so little time…
“Yes, later. Be safe you two.”

— PART 24 / previous post / masterpost
It’s about one in the morning when you sneak out of the room with gentle steps, making sure to not wake the one who sleeps on the armchair beside the bed, his soft little snores still heard until his presence disappears with the closed door.
The hallways are as silent as it was back in the room, the only thing heard is the sounds of your footsteps echoing through, and as you close your shawl closer to your body, you look around to make your way to the familiar steps that lead outside where the greenhouse stands.
The doors are left unlocked so you let yourself in and step through the glass doors, closing your eyes for a moment to breathe in the scent of the greens all around you.
It’s during lonely moments like this you feel your heart craving for some sort of familiarity. Not just the presence of your Reapers but for the presence of your manor itself.
For years you spent hating that place more than anything because that was where everything happened; where you were born, where you grew up, watching your mother hating you with every fiber left in her, chasing after your father’s attention, shedding tears on top of gentle shoulders, trapped behind the steel door of a white room, training, meeting good people, meeting bad people, everything.
Everything.
You can’t recall when the feeling of dread and disdain turned to eyes seeking for it, feet yearning to step back into it. Maybe it was the moment your father died, when the dynasty he worked so hard to build broke down into pieces like a house of cards, when you took over and made it into the home that it is now starting to feel like.
You returned to it after Leehyun, locking yourself in the comfort of your room, knowing that if you were to step outside, your Reapers would be right there with the smallest calling of their names. It served as your escape when it used to be the very reason you hated your existence.
The manor has become home and perhaps the only reason it’s able to be such a thing is because of what you’ve built it to be.
You want to escape, to return to it and simply hide in it and have no one bother you until you’re ready to step out yourself.
On the bench where Alexander sat this morning, you take your seat and close your eyes, trying to manipulate your mind into thinking you aren’t in Norway, that you’re back in Seoul, back at the manor, and not somewhere far, far away.
It’s exhausting doing this, your revenge plan. It’s exhausting having to put up a front, exhausting having to freeze up and recall unwanted memories that you wish could bury forever in the back of your mind.
But buried memories can’t always stay buried. They return, eventually, in time, whether you’re prepared or not.
You can’t tell how much time has passed but when you feel something against your feet accompanied by small little pants, you open your eyes to find the little puppy that accepted you from the moment he laid eyes on you.
You look down at him and he returns your gaze with a tilt in his head, tail wagging, and swirls about in a circle once before using his nose to poke at your leg again. He reminds you of the children at The Academy, how they’ve never been scared of you despite wanting to always push them away with your cold demeanor. It’s like Kiwi sees right through you, just like them, and in your silence, you pick up the small little thing to bring him onto your lap.
His tail wags a little more and when you run your hand through his fur, he gets a little more excited and affectionate.
Besides the children, there’s someone else you see in him.
“You remind me of someone,” you say as he nuzzles into the feeling of your palm. “Though unlike you, he wasn’t too fond of me in the beginning. It took some time for him to warm up but once he got to that point, he wouldn’t stop following me around.”
You fall silent again, thinking, remembering, reminiscing, and your fingers stop playing around with the little puppy on your lap.
The memories aren’t as hazy as they used to be, they’re a little clearer, a little closer to home. You can feel it in your heart when something feels like it’s just stabbed it, and in your stomach when you feel a little drop.
“I’m sorry for being selfish,” a voice whispers into your ear. “I’m sorry for only ever thinking about myself.”
But the thing about that is, you cannot be sorry for something that is within your nature, you cannot be sorry for wanting to put yourself first in a cruel, cruel world. When everything feels wrong, when the world feels like it’s always against you, when you do not know who to put your trust in.
If you were a little more mature and a little more brave, would you have been able to tell him the things you want to say now?
Things like; it wasn’t your fault. Things like; it’s alright, and you’re okay, and rest well.
Rest well, rest well, rest well.
You lean your head forward to the sky, gaze closed, as if hoping the things you spoke within your heart could be heard from him wherever he stays.
And as the silence continues, you feel your consciousness eventually slip away as your shoulders loosen their tensions with the feel of the little puppy resting well in your lap.
You didn’t realize it, that you had fallen asleep, but you know yourself waking when you feel a presence closing in and immediately opening your eyes to meet the old man who has a blanket hovered before you, his eyes falling a little surprised because he hadn’t expected you to wake up so easily.
“It’s good to put your guard down a little, you know,” Alexander says with a small chuckle as you accept the blanket to drape it behind you.
“I’ve learned my lesson with that,” you answer him and scoot over to the edge of the bench in order to make room for him.
He takes his seat beside you though leaves enough space in between and you’re thankful this man is observant. Kiwi’s awake but remains quiet and still, head resting against his paws with his tail swaying side to side.
“Do you have anyone you can trust in this world?” Alexander crosses a leg over the other and you look at your watch to see that it’s about four in the morning.
You managed to sleep in an unfamiliar place while knowing there weren’t any Reapers that could come to you at any second. How odd.
“There are always chances someone can stab you in the back.” Maybe the presence of Kiwi helped you. “It’s never a good idea to put your full trust in anyone.”
“You say that but one day you might come to know it feels rather nice putting unconditional faith in someone.”
You shake your head, brows furrowing. “Even if that someone has a good heart and good intentions, it doesn’t mean it hurts any less.”
There’s only been one person you know you can truly trust but he’s gone from this world, only ever being able to see him again when he wishes to visit you in your dreams. He’s the only person you’d ever allow to hurt you over and over again, even if it isn’t the real version of him.
Mister Butler can hate you and betray you but you’d let him do it again and again and maybe that’s because in your heart, you know those versions that the nightmares give you are simply from your own imagination and that he’d never truly come to hate you. He’s incapable of betraying your trust. Someone like him, who stayed by your side when he didn’t have to, isn’t a man who can have his heart easily swayed into hating you.
“Are you tired of betrayal?”
“I’m tired of everything,” you admit and he looks at you up and down, eyes narrowing slightly.
“And yet here you are, out in Norway.” Alexander knows a thing or two, he isn’t dumb, and you aren’t someone to think otherwise. He wouldn’t be in the position he is now if he was, and you don’t deny what he implies in his words. “You run straight into the very things that make you tired.”
“Because it is the only way I can feel alive.” You look on straight ahead before you, watching the pretty sky that pokes out from behind the plants of the greenhouse. “Otherwise I’d be in my room, rotting away. There is no purpose in running away, there is no purpose in leaving things be. My father did not leave this world for me to simply carry on as if he never existed.”
Some may take that as you carrying on your father’s legacy and whatever Alexander is thinking, you don’t care too much for it because all it matters is what you know. You didn’t kill your father just to stay silent for the rest of your life. His death was the beginning of everything.
Your turning point.
“And no one can stop a mind that’s already been made up.” Alexander nods, understanding, and doesn’t push for answers, but perhaps in the back of his mind, he’s a little curious about you and your goals and aspirations in this life. What drives you, what made you into the sort of person you are today, but Alexander is wise unlike many old men you’ve met throughout your life, so he doesn’t question things beyond your boundary.
And so he diverts the subject once again, turning it to the puppy in your lap.
“Perhaps you should adopt a pet of your own, to help you ease your mind a little,” he tells you with a fond gaze at Kiwi. “Humans can be quite disappointing, but a loyal pet will stay loyal for the rest of its life. Not to mention they’re the greatest comfort when someone needs it.”
Maybe that’s true. Maybe you should turn to a dog rather than humans in your time of need. Humans are disappointing creatures after all. But, “It’s too much of a hassle,” you say. “I can’t even take care of my own self properly, it’d be unwise of me to try and take care of another being.”
“...Is that so?”
It becomes a daily occurrence; the talks in the greenhouse, and soon you come to realize that Alexander isn’t one to let just anyone into his greenhouse. The doors that are usually locked during hours when one should be asleep are kept open, and perhaps that’s because he’s come to realize that you don’t sleep a lot, at least not in the house of a stranger, so he leaves them open for you to visit when you need your space.
And in the morning, around four or five AM when he awakens, he’ll come along and strike up a conversation and the two of you will speak about the things he brings up. Things like Seoul and of the Reaper gang, sometimes he’ll ask of Master Kitagawa, other times he’ll ask how far your skills go.
You speak to him in vague terms, careful not to tell him everything, but he comes to know that you were an only child, married once in an arranged marriage, but divorced. He doesn’t seem too surprised by that fact probably because everyone knows this happens all the time.
And in him knowing a little more about you, you come to know a little more about him as well.
Like when Kiwi came into his life and the fact that he’s had other pets throughout his lifetimes before but they’ve all died and left him.
You asked him why he continues adopting pets when he knows they don’t live as long as humans do, why he hurts himself over and over again, but he simply smiles and says that sometimes being able to love is better than being lonely. That it doesn’t matter how many times he has to watch them die and that he’d never regret loving them.
Alexander believes in reincarnation, that the souls of his first puppy dies and returns in the form of the other pets he’s had, so he’s never truly lonely, and something about that, believing in such a thing, though it sounds a bit absurd, is a little bit beautiful in its own way.
If you could believe Mister Butler died and returned through someone else, it’d be a nice delusion to live in, and despite the fact that there have been one or two guys that have reminded you of him, the truth is, no one can ever be Mister Butler.
Not Hoseok. Not Mingyu.
Because Mister Butler is like family. He was.
Through your marriage with Namjoon, he was your older brother, but he always felt closer to a father figure to you, and perhaps that’s because your father was never there for you. Mingyu is closer to an older brother. A companion. A friend.
And Hoseok?
The one that got away.
The right person at the wrong time.
And because of that fact, you don’t allow yourself to be near him for too long, hence denying his companionship when Jungkook told you it’d probably be better if Hoseok were standing guard at your side rather than him.
It’s true, Hoseok would be better. You wouldn’t be as cautious towards him as you are of Jungkook, but it’s that exact reason that you cannot let him near.
You cannot let him shake your core, so you endure what you can and let Jungkook stay near you despite the constant reminder of what he did all those years ago.
It’s not entirely his fault but as you’ve said, it doesn’t hurt any less.
In your time getting closer to Alexander, he’s refused the appearance of Karl several times. Asher says if he has to, his grandfather will meet him elsewhere. Just not in the house. The guy has come to guess that you’re here because of Karl, and if he’s guessed it, maybe Alexander has too.
Though the old man never brings it up despite the plenty of chances during your greenhouse talks.
“Any progress?”
Dawn remains in the sky as ever and while Jungkook sleeps, you sit on the windowsill to take a call from the other side of the world. It’s a bit chilly to head out today so you stay indoors this time, making sure to keep your voice low.
“Plenty. It’s been quite peaceful these days, it feels a bit out of place.” Alexander’s kindness wasn’t something you expected the first day you walked into Norway. You expected things to be harder after meeting Asher but surprisingly, things are quite…easy, to say the least. “I have a feeling it won’t last too long.”
“No?” Namjoon sounds a little confused on his end. “Why do you say that? Should we come over earlier than planned?”
“No, don’t do that. Come as scheduled,” you say and look away from the window to the man who’s moved from sleeping on the armchair to the bed. It took some time to convince him initially but eventually Jungkook agreed to take the bed since you don’t really sleep anyway.
“You have something planned, don’t you?” There’s some suspicion in his voice and you want to laugh a little at how things are right now.
Who would have thought you’d be back on speaking terms with the man you thought you’d push away for good? But here he is, back and ready to give you his trust. You don’t know if he’s smart or stupid or both. Maybe there’s a bit of both, but it probably took some time for him to consider it, being as the whole thing was about his brother whom he loves very dearly.
Namjoon’s finally using his head.
Though you aren’t too sure if you like it so much.
“Maybe I do, maybe I don’t.”
“Y/N.”
“It’s nothing bad.”
“I don’t know if I can trust those words so easily. The last time you left the country, you disregarded your life just for that plan of yours.”
“Listen.” You roll your eyes. “I’ll be fine.”
There’s a pause on his end before he speaks again. “You didn’t assure me that you won’t do something reckless,” he notes and you internally click your tongue, “which means that feeling of the peace not lasting for long is you actively causing that to happen.” When you don’t respond, he goes on. “Will you stop being so secretive and let me know what you’re thinking? Maybe then you won’t be in the same position you were with Leehyun, and me and my boys and the Reapers will know how to help you.”
Well.
“You can’t keep hiding, Y/N. Stop being so reckless, you’re too reckless.”
“Watch me.”
He lets out a heavy sigh. “That wasn’t a challenge.”
“No?”
Another sigh and he knows he can’t win. “Just…if you decide it’s better for me to go over sooner rather than later, let me know. I’ll be waiting. Right here, just a phone call away.”
“...Sure.”
You don’t think too much about it. You don’t want to think too much about it.
So when the cloud gives way to the sun and it shines higher in the sky, you finally take up Karl’s request to have tea and catch up, deciding you shouldn’t keep running away from what you’re trying to face.
You have Yeonjun stay by your side this time, rather than Jungkook, in case Karl says something out of line and Jungkook will hear more things than you want him to. You stay in the garden of Alexander’s mansion, keeping a little distance away from the building itself, and with the feel of eyes from a window behind you, the conversation begins.
“I remember him,” Karl points at your escort when he takes his first sip of the tea. “Jun? Joon?” Yeonjun doesn’t make an effort to fix him and simply remains quiet. “Right, never one to talk but always by your side.” His eyes settle back on you, a small glint of mirth in them. “You have quite the loyal companion.”
“Yes..I do.” You ignore his gaze to take a sip of your own tea, keeping your replies short.
“I’m still a bit hurt you didn’t reach out to me about your father’s death. We were good friends, you knew that.”
Of course you did. “I apologize, it slipped my mind.”
“Slipped your mind?” He raises a brow, unconvinced. “Hmm…and here I thought, I left a good impression in those four months I stayed in Seoul.”
You did.
You did indeed leave an impression that will last a lifetime.
“Maybe I should have tried harder?”
That mirth in his eyes. Again.
You want to punch him.
“How did he die though? The man I knew isn’t someone who would have easily died and he would have updated me about his health had he fallen ill.”
“He was betrayed,” you say, not batting an eye, and Karl puts his cup down after hearing that.
His eyes are blown out. “Your father? Betrayed? And he didn’t see that coming?”
“They were smart.”
“Even still..” He can’t believe it, though you don’t blame him too much. The father you both know is not someone who’s easily trusting of others, therefore he’s always right there to pick out someone who will betray him before they can execute their plan.
That’s why it took so long to manipulate him into believing you were a daughter full on worshiping his ground without an ounce of betrayal in your veins. That’s why your masterful plan took so long. You had to convince your father into believing he had won in manipulating you to his side when all along, you had been waiting to stab him in the back. Facing a man like him, smart, calculating, a manipulating gaslighter who thinks the world centers around him requires more than just simple brains and planning.
It took years to execute your plans and even then you feel like you could have done better with everything. For one, not letting anyone see what had happened, aka Bangtan. But what’s done is done. Dwelling on past mistakes is just stupid and a waste of time.
“And what about you?” When Karl points the finger at you, his gaze narrows, brows slightly furrowed. “You’re his daughter, his perfect little doll. You didn’t see that someone was plotting your father’s death? Is it not your job to protect him?”
“That’s right,” you give him nothing to fight against, just simply accepting the accusations placed upon you. “I failed in protecting him. I am an incompetent daughter who should have done better.”
Karl stands up, running a hand through his hair. “Your father did all that he could for you and still, you–”
When he looks at you again and meets the gaze you send him, his word stops mid-sentence. Your stare isn’t threatening, it isn’t a glare, nor one that is meant to scare him off, yet something in them lies a hidden threat either way, were he to continue speaking. Karl, seeing that, lets out a chuckle and he closes in on you, patting you on the shoulder before simply leaving his hand there.
You look at it for a second before giving him the attention he wants as he leans in, nose inches away from you.
“Your father created you into the weapon that you are today, my dear little Y/N, and you’ve even been trained under Kitagawa, so why is it that you failed to protect him? Huh? Tell me.”
From the corner of your eye, Yeonjun moves slightly closer, though he keeps his distance and doesn’t dare to make a move unless you instruct him otherwise.
The breath against your face, the touch of skin burning through the thin cloth of your dress, the sides of your knees meeting one another, back straightening up, heels rising from the ground, fingers intertwined into each other, sitting on your lap.
You keep your eyes open, meeting his gaze, but internally you’re counting in your head and holding your breath, hearing the beat of your heart that might as well rip through your rib cages and past the barrier of your skin to physically beat widely before Karl himself.
Maybe he hears it, maybe he can feel it, but whether he does or not, he has no will to move away from you and you know Karl, he isn’t dumb. He knows exactly the effect he has on you right now. He saw it, knows just how you felt all those weeks ago when you were in the living room and he touched you.
He knows and doesn’t care one bit.
Just as he was all those years ago.
They never change.
“What is it that you want from me, Karl?” He doesn’t fix you into calling him uncle this time. “Do you want me to repent on my knees and beg for forgiveness? My father’s already six feet underground, it’s not as if he’ll hear me now, but as his close friend, if you wish for me to do just that, I will. Just for you.”
There’s malice in his eyes, a scoff that leaves him when he watches you, and finally, he moves back. Just a little. “You’ve gotten quite bold, haven’t you? Now that your father isn’t here to teach you a lesson.”
“And if I have? What will you do about it?” You push back, leaning forward, challenging him despite your body screaming at you to run away. “Go ahead and do whatever you’d like with me, there’s no one here right now that can stop you. I can tell Yeonjun to pluck his eyes out right now and he’ll do just that. He won’t say a word and he won’t move unless I tell him otherwise.”
At the mention of the boy, Karl looks over between you and him, and then something in him lights up slightly as if he’d just remembered something. As if he’d just realized something.
“That’s right...what loyal companions…” He steps back, releasing your shoulder, and tilts his head back as he laughs obnoxiously. “Is this all about that little boy I messed with? Him?” The laugh rings a little louder, a little more crazed. “You pretend you’re so cold and have no feelings and yet here you are, chasing after me all the way from Seoul, just for a boy, the second you got the chance. If your father were still here, he wouldn’t have let that happen, but now that he’s gone…-”
He pauses again, and after hurling over laughing, stands back up straight again as the laugh dies all too abruptly. So you stand up from your seat, the corner of your lip curling over as you notice just why he’s gone silent.
By now the tea is slowly getting cold but you don’t care much for it as you stand tall, hands held together before you in a formal manner.
“The person who betrayed him…” His eyes narrow. “Who was it?”
“Oh uncle,” you mock that title, mirth in your eyes, “I think you know exactly where that answer lies.”
Danger.
Something screams danger when his gaze darkens in realization.
And yet you seem to only be attracted to danger as it is the only thing you’ve ever gotten used to seeing every day. The danger of being born as a mafia heir, married to a mafia powerhouse, spiraled into a hellhole you cannot ever seem to escape so you run towards it.
Directly into the fire.
Into the danger.
Provoking your enemies, knowing exactly just what their reactions will be, because danger seems to be the one thing in your life that will never leave and abandon you out of nowhere. The only thing you can forever trust to catch you were you to fall blindly into it.
And blindly you fall, trusting it to come.
And comes it goes, directly your way.
Never disappointing.
Never disappointing.
Namjoon called you reckless and for the first time in forever, you might have to agree with him. Because being reckless means not caring for the consequences to come after committing a rash action. The reckless ones do not care what happens to them, they live off adrenaline, they run towards the fire when everyone else runs away.
Towards the danger despite knowing there will always be a chance they may not survive. Unheeding, stubborn, thoughtless, careless, negligent, imprudent. Unwise, unwary, incautious, hasty.
A fool.
A fool.
A fool.
But misguided and left on their own. Lonely, abandoned, hurt, isolated, rejected, forsaken. An outcast and unloved, a disappointment and broken.
Broken.
A broken little soul whose heart lies empty with a hole pierced through the middle.
You are reckless. You are broken.
And broken things do not know how to save themselves, they only know the warmth of the fire. That is the only thing they can rely on.
So you stay within his vicinity, within Karl’s reach, watching, simply standing there, keeping still, as if keeping vigil. Like you’re just waiting, just expecting for something, anything, the inevitable, to happen. And when it comes in the form of a harsh, harsh slap across the face that has your body turning over to the side and having to hold onto the table to keep your balance, you can’t even say that you are surprised.
It feels like being in the presence of your father all over again, in the face of danger, of a manipulator, of a gaslighter, of an abuser.
He returns hard and so vividly in the form of anger, in the form of a ghost, a spirit whom you see standing right behind Karl. He stands as still as ever, hands held behind his back, simply watching.
Watching.
While you stand before him in front of a man he’s using to command orders over him. Using violence through others because father never raises his hands, father never puts in the effort or strength or power into physical forms. He does it through others, he commands through others, he hurts through others.
Watching until he’s satisfied.
But he’s never satisfied. He’s never satisfied.
And on your end, you can do nothing but accept it all willingly.
There is nothing else you can do, there is nothing else that can be done. It is like being in his presence all over again. Yeonjun, the Reapers behind you, standing still, told to not do a thing, to not move an inch, and your father behind the violence, keeping silent with a deadly gaze.
You return to the past.
You see him.
He’s right there.
And Karl raises his hand again.
Trading my sleep for this was one of the best desicion I've ever made!
I love the story and how the characters evolve. How the 'good' and the 'bad' are not just black and white but there is gray too, and a lot of it. How each of them were connected by that fateful night.

“I’m going to visit my parents for the holidays, so don’t bother me.” You finish counting the final stack of money from yesterday’s “donations,” securing the loose bills together with a tie and place the stack inside your bag.
Hoseok looks up, dropping the bracelet he had been threading onto the table top. Working tediously on his new hobby kept his mind off the storm outside, his body busy so he can think about something else rather than the drop in barometric pressure and violent lightning nearing closer. “Does Tae know?”
You roll your eyes. “What is he, my keeper?” You grab another stack of bills, fanning out the money with your fingers.
The papers on the table scatter from a controlled gust of wind; a miniscule push of power by Hoseok. “You’re taking more than your share,” Hoseok warns.
You pout. “I have to buy Christmas presents! C’mon, you and I both know we’re the ones doing most of the work, just think of it as a holiday bonus!” You look at him hopeful.
Hoseok goes back to threading beads, shaking his head. “Don’t let the others hear you talk like that. We all contribute equally here, y/n.”
You pull your bag over your shoulder, belligerent, keeping the extra cash. “Yeah…” You agree, leaning over his chair, draping your arms over Hoseok’s shoulders, chin in the crook of his neck, studying his new art project. “But we’re the most powerful and you know it, Weather Man. Plus, I deserve compensation for being partnered with Jin last night.”
Hoseok scoffs, unable to hold in his laughter. “Oh really? I heard it was the other way around, that you spent most of the night thinking about ghosts to scare Jin,” he shivers.
“Jin started it,” you mutter, unable to tell Hoseok being in a confined space with the mind reader, who spent the night teasingly pressed up against you had sent your mind straight into the gutter, much to Jin’s utter amusement. So you decided to amuse yourself as well.
---
Taehyung’s latest undertaking involved flipping the vote of every legislator who opposed his new environmental preservation act, which meant overtime for the snarky mind reader who spent his time shadowing each legislator, listening and searching for a dirty little secret he could use against them, because the only thing more powerful than money is knowledge.
Bribing his competitors worked pretty well in the beginning, and the group liked the idea of using their own stolen money against them, but threatening them with a piece of information that could ruin their entire career…well, threats just worked so much better than bribes, and provided Taehyung with lasting allegiance.
Seokjin learned quickly that politicians are such egomaniacs they think mostly about themselves, which can provide him some good quality scandals, but the better ones, the life-ruining ones, those always seem to come from family. Which is how you ended up stuck inside a bedroom closet while Jin listened in on the thoughts of his latest target’s wife and children.
Apparently, Seokjin absolutely needed you there in case something went wrong. Jungkook had rudely materialized inside your apartment uninvited and hopped you to Seokjin before you could even protest. And protest you did, in your mind, torturing Seokjin in your own stubborn way.
And so that's how most of your nights now went, forced into helping Taehyung with his endeavors one way or another. At least it paid well.
---
“Are you going back home too?” You ask, using your telekinetic powers to help the bracelet’s string go through the bead when he misses.
“Probably not,” Hoseok sighs, leaning his head back against your shoulder. “Tae has to stay in the city, and I know Jin and Jimin are staying too.”
And truth be told, Hoseok doesn’t like visiting his hometown.
Before his friends helped him learn how to control his abilities, Hoseok’s emotions ruled his powers. The aftermath caused too many pained memories around his old family home. Hoseok prefers the safe company of his friends instead.
The memories still haunt him, a younger Hoseok in the kitchen of his old family home arguing with his mother, his own uncontrolled adolescent rage transferring to the lit stove, sparking a huge blaze that burned his mother. A faulty switch, they said, an ‘accident.’ But for Hoseok it was a reminder of how truly devastating his powers could become.
‘Jimin's staying?’ There goes your ride. ‘Ahh, that’s right,’ Jimin did say something about his new assignment. Your roommate was going undercover this Christmas, a present for a very unlucky daughter of one of Taehyung’s targets, because who would ever suspect a cute little puppy?
“We're having Christmas dinner at Governor Kim's mansion, you sure you want to miss that?”
“Hmm I'll just get JK to hop me a plate,” you joke, standing straight. “Okay, well, see you next year!”
Hoseok grabs your wrist. “Hold on!”
His tone was sharp, you thought he was going to yell at you again for taking the extra cash, but instead he pulls a colorful bracelet from his tray, stretching it over your hand.
“Merry Christmas.” He places a reassuring kiss on the top of your wrist before shaking you away. “Be careful, Yoongi says back home isn’t like what it was when we were kids, it’s dangerous past sunset now.”
You see your name written out in beads. Even if Hoseok has become a lot more moody in his adulthood, you see the old him shine through sometimes, and after all the times he’s saved your ass on heists, you can’t help but appreciate him and his powers. “I’ll be fine.” You grumble, admiring the cute bracelet.
“I’m not worried about you, I’m worried about everyone else!” He yells after you.
“Hey y/n.” Min Yoongi enters just as you’re leaving.
“Hi and bye, see you next year!”
He watches your retreating figure and turns to Hoseok with a look of skepticism. “What is she talking about?”
---
You knock on steel, one two three times in a special pattern. A familiar pattern to alert the occupant inside that you were alone and meant no harm.
“Y/n?” A sleepy Namjoon stands in front of you in sweats and messy hair, scars littering his toned torso that make you instantly regret seeking him out. The cuts; a consequence of fighting Jimin in his tiger form. You heard about it afterwards, but seeing the evidence now...now that you’re here, you think you’ll have to find a way to heal him. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing! What? I can’t even check in on you anymore?” You lean on the door frame away from him with your arms crossed. You used to see Namjoon every day, then it became weeks, now your only interactions with him were becoming the times you ran into him as ‘RM,’ where he looks at you with such contempt in his eyes.
Joon keeps his arm placed by your head, blocking you from entering.
Namjoon frowns. “What does V want?”
Ever since you’ve aligned yourself with Taehyung, it’s been like this. Joon doesn’t trust you, which is fine, you’ve lied enough to him to know you deserve his ire. But the way he acts like you are now Taehyung’s lackey, or worse, girlfriend, is infuriating.
“I don’t fucking know! I’m not here because of Tae,” you say, irritated.
“Why are you here at two in the morning then?” He looks you over, eyes zoning in on your cleavage, and you don’t need to be a mind reader to know exactly where Namjoon’s mind went. He leans on his arm, pectoral muscles jumping, waiting for your answer.
“Not for that either,” you cough. “I wanted to know if you were going to go visit your family for Christmas.”
“Why? Planning to do something while I’m away?”
You ignore his accusations. “Oh so you are? Me too.”
Namjoon cocks his head to the side, “You are?”
You nod. “Yeah, err well I was planning to stay there until the new year. I felt like getting away,” you swallow down the rest of your words, looking away.
“You’re going by yourself?” He moves to the side, letting you into his apartment.
“Well, yeah? I mean, that’s also why I’m here. Did you want to go together? My parents still ask about you,” you add quietly.
“It would be nice to see them again,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck, hoping to relieve the awkward tension he was suddenly feeling.
“Okay, we should go together, yeah,” he says uneasily. If V’s most powerful super supporter was going to leave the city, it would only benefit Namjoon to keep an eye on you. Like the old saying goes, ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’ Namjoon didn’t know what you were to him anymore, but as long as you were with him, he felt reassured Taehyung wouldn’t try anything too villainous. And then…he’d get to spend time with you…
“When did you want to leave?” you ask, looking around his living room, missing the close connection you once had. This shouldn’t feel so cold and foreign to you, Joon shouldn’t-
“I was going to catch the first bus out this weekend.”
Catch a bus? A bus? Eh?
You were hoping to catch a ride with him by means of super powered flight. Of course Joon would choose not to use his powers, instead picking the most difficult means of transportation. You laugh to yourself.
“What’s funny?”
“Nothing, I know you don’t need a license, but you should at least learn how to drive, don’t you think, Joon? It might come in handy. What if ‘RM’ had to steer a careening delivery truck off the highway or something?”
“I would just stop it with my body.” Joon says, missing the point.
You frown, “What about the passengers?”
“Uhh I’d fly them to safety before impact!”
You glare at your old friend's simplistic viewpoint, crossing your arms. “Looks like you have it all figured out then.”
“It’s my job,” he pats your head, pushing you softly and smiling smugly.
You stumble backwards, trying to calm the heat in your cheeks. “Yeah, maybe it’s for the best that The God of Destruction doesn’t operate a moving vehicle.”
“Hey, you know I hate that nickname.”
“Yeah I do, that’s why I used it.”
Namjoon scoffs, leaning against his kitchen counter, his scars prominently on display.
“Here, let me fix that, I can’t stand looking at it.” You move closer, placing your palm against his torso. You expect him to stop you, but he watches silently.
“I’ve felt this before,” he mutters.
“Yeah, well you get hurt often, don’t you?”
“You know, I always thought it was from my own powers. That I had super healing powers or something,” he laughs bitterly. Now that you’re not around, and his muscles ache more than ever, he knows the truth.
You concentrate, “Your body is different. It’s a lot easier to heal you than other people, so maybe you do and I’m just speeding it up a bit,” His body radiates warmth against your palm, the energy at your fingertips adds to the heat.
Namjoon closes his eyes, feeling the pain in his joints slowly disappear as well. “Ahh how do you do that?”
“I don’t know, I just concentrate, if I concentrate enough I can start to get the physics of what’s going on, down to the molecules. When I concentrate I can feel your blood pumping through your veins…that sounds pretty gross, huh?” You tease, but Namjoon peers down at you with soft eyes.
“You could do so much good in the world, y/n.”
You look at him pointedly, not wanting to hear this speech again. “Yeah, I’ll just become the next Mother Teressa while I’m at it.” Doing this is draining, does Joon really think you’re willing to sacrifice your time and energy to fix everyone else’s problems? Martyrdom does not suit you.
Namjoon bites his tongue, keeping in his protests for now, already thinking of ways to persuade you once you’re out of the city and away from Taehyung’s clutches. He wants his best friend back, even though he will never admit it.
“Okay,” you stop, satisfied now that the redness was gone, the energy in Joon’s body already increasing now that his joints didn’t feel so tired, “I better go.”
Namjoon stops you, grabbing your hand before you can fully pull away and you look up at him confused. You’ve seen that apprehension before in him, unspoken pleas swirling in the dark irises of his eyes, desires he holds back. He wouldn’t, not anymore, you already know that, but part of you…hopes.
“See you this weekend then.”
You nod, stealing a kiss before you leave. Namjoon stiffens, acting unphased. Namjoon’s willpower is becoming as impressive as his powers. He doesn’t reciprocate, returning your affection now would feel like he’s accepting all the wrongful actions you’ve chosen. No, Namjoon is too good for that.
But you, you rather be bad.
---
“Here, I got it.” Namjoon carries both your suitcases and his as if they weighed nothing, packing each case in the bus’s cargo and offers to help other riders store their luggage too. You can’t help but smile, he’s never going to change. Despite everything, he will always be the helpful caring man you’ve fallen for. So you leave him to it, stepping on the bus to find your seat.
“Hey y/n.”
“Yoongi?!”
Yoongi stands up, smiling deviously. You realize to your horror his seat is directly behind yours.
“What the fuck are you doing here?!” you hiss. Min Yoongi is going to ruin everything, Namjoon will never believe a word you say now. He’s going to think you set him up and push you even farther away.
“I’m going home-”
“On our bus? Do you think I’m dumb? Did Tae put you up to this?!”
“‘Our’ bus? Finally made it official with him? You could do better.”
“Shut up, shut up!” You press Yoongi’s shoulders down, trying to hide him from view, but he’s too solid and too stubborn. You are truly panicking, completely forgetting you have the power to move him and the entire bus if you wanted to. The irony is not lost on Yoongi who can’t help but snicker at your distraught state. He smirks and his eyebrows raise, outstretching his neck in a lazy gesture for you to turn around.
“Y/n? What’s going on?” Namjoon takes in your frightened state and Yoongi’s smug demeanor, jaw clenching when he notices his old childhood classmate turned super villain, reminding him of the rift between you and him.
“I swear, Joon, I didn’t know-”
“It’s fine.” He stiffens, he could tell you weren’t lying…or perhaps you had just gotten better at it in his absence. “Hey Min.”
“So formal, Namjoon.”
You look between both men, able to feel the tension thick in the air. Oh, that’s right.
Yoongi’s feet are kicked out from under him as he falls back into his seat, glaring daggers at you for using your powers on him.
You quickly sit down, taking a calming breath in. “Um, Joon?”
Joon stands conflicted. If he was a lesser man he would punch Yoongi for the way he rudely treats you. Namjoon just thinks about it instead. He sighs, moving his glasses to rub at his eyes and hesitantly lowers himself in the seat next to you.
---
A bump in the road wakes you up. You lift your head up, see unruly brown hair, the top of Namjoon’s head pressed to your chin. You had fallen asleep with your head against the window’s glass, and Joon had fallen asleep against you. You look outside, where the scenery changed from the familiar gray block structures of metal and concrete into greenery and winding roads and you smile to yourself. Joon softly snores against you and it reminds you of your childhood, and the nostalgia of going back home hits you all at once.
You smile, happy, ignoring the pain inside you that aches in a steady rhythm.
---
“We’re here, y/n.” Joon’s calming deep voice wakes you up. “Let’s go.”
You yawn, stretching. Namjoon had woken up before you, watched you sleep softly against him, your arms protectively tight around his shoulders even in your slumber, and stayed still until he couldn’t any longer.
He insists on carrying your suitcase, he insists on walking with you.
“I’ll go with you, y/n. I’m walking that way.” Min Yoongi barges into your conversation. “I live closer to you, right?”
“She’s not going to her house, she’s going to mine.” Namjoon says defensively and drapes his arm over your shoulders, pulling you in.
“I…am?”
“My parents made us lunch,” he says sheepishly, confidence waning.
“That’s great!” you over-emphasize your excitement, trying to lift his mood. “I can’t say no to your mom’s cooking. If only she taught you a thing or two.”
Yoongi watches you leave with the undercover superhero, annoyed at the way he keeps you protectively close.
Everyone noticed the way you held your powers back around RM, even (not so) discreetly protecting him from the other’s attacks when he showed up to stop them. It had become a liability for Taehyung, who asked Yoongi to help find a way to put an end to your unwavering feelings for the superhero, hoping to stop the annoying Vendetta RM had taken up against him the closer you became with the group.
Taehyung had started to feel his own contempt for the superhero who kept getting in the way of his plans and kept holding you back from your potential. Yoongi agreed because Yoongi noticed it too. Unlike the others who worked to hone their abilities under Taehyung’s guidance, you didn’t use your powers in the same way, you stayed comfortable in minimal effort feats of power, getting away with it because your ability was so vast. But Yoongi wanted more for you.
---
Spending the day with Namjoon and his parents made you see how right your decision to come back to your hometown had been, you could go back to pretending you were normal and Namjoon and you were best friends again. Namjoon’s family was always so warm and welcoming to you. They loved you like a second daughter, and they definitely loved the fact that you now ran your own business.
Namjoon’s father wasn’t pleased Namjoon hadn’t found a suitable career yet, knowing how bright his son was. Namjoon had the grades to go to any college he pleased, to become a lawyer or a doctor, but Namjoon chose the life of a superhero instead.
His father didn’t know why his son decided to work odd jobs instead, he didn’t know of his super powers. His father tended to be as dense as Namjoon about things. But his mother, she knew why. She even sewed his first superhero suit, and though she couldn't talk about his accomplishments with her friends, she was the proudest of her son. She joked Namjoon should work for you, which you wholeheartedly agreed with, laughing at Namjoon’s disapproving face.
Namjoon’s mom knew her son had super strength from the very beginning. It was nearly impossible to hide his strength when he first acquired his power, and as she took care of the home, she noticed something strange immediately.
You will never forget that day, you were both working on homework in his family room, or well, Namjoon was working on his homework and you were stealing his answers, and when Namjoon left you to grab drinks you heard an ominous crash, running into the kitchen to see your childhood best friend holding open the refrigerator door which had been entirely disconnected from his fridge.
“W-We can explain!” you had yelled, hitting a stunned younger Namjoon who dropped the door right in front of his mother.
“Oh great, I’ve wanted a new fridge for years. Dear, please pull the door off the stove as well, I want a matching set.” She smoothed her son’s hair down, adding...
“Dear, you sometimes float when you sleep.”
Even though you never used your powers in the beginning, you always wondered, if she knew about you too.
---
By the time you left to go to your family’s home the sun had begun setting and Namjoon and his mother insisted he take you.
“I know you don’t believe me, but I didn’t know Yoongi was going to follow us.”
“It’s alright, this is his hometown too.” Namjoon sighs, always trying to defend.
“Well, I don’t like it. I feel like they are keeping tabs on me, it’s creepy. And why are you smiling about that?” You shove him using your hands and your powers and he stumbles.
“I’m not smiling!” Namjoon laughs.
“You are! You’re smiling. You’re laughing now!”
Namjoon laughs louder, and you can’t help but laugh along with him. This is what you missed, what you yearned for, what you killed for-
A loud yell pulls your thoughts away from Namjoon. Somewhere there’s a fight, you could feel it, three different bodies. You and Namjoon hear another loud yell, screaming for-
“HELP!”
“You can’t!” You grab Namjoon before he can fly away. “Don’t you think it would be a little suspicious if ‘RM’ suddenly showed up right before Christmas in this small town?” you hiss. “Remember the rumors the first time we left?”
“Y/n,” he warns, “I can’t just-”
Another cry for help echoes in the night.
“Ugh, I’ll handle it, okay?! Stay back!”
And off you run, to fix things, to protect Namjoon.
“Uh, excuse me?” Two men stand over a third. The last man has a bloody nose, frightened eyes, dirt covered clothes. You address him first. “W-What’s happening? Why are these guys hitting you?”
“I-I’m d-delivering f-food! T-They are trying to t-take-”
“-your bike?” He shakes his head no, shivering from head to toe. One of the men runs towards you, grabs you and drags you to their victim, screaming at you to be quiet.
“Your...wallet?”
“Y/n!” Namjoon turns down the alleyway you found yourself in, his large towering figure in the distance seen by all four of you.
“Give me a second please!”
The robber tightens his hold on you, thoroughly pissed off you’ve been ignoring him. The delivery man is shaking his head, and the other robber swings back to hit him. You lift a hand up and to the delivery man’s surprise, the robber stops his assault, arm suspended in midair.
“What t-the fuck?”
“What are you doing?! Hit him!”
“I’m s-stuck!”
The robbers bicker amongst themselves while you try to calm down the scared delivery man. “What are they trying to take?” You ask again, still being dragged closer.
“My w-watch! My w-wife-”
“Ohhh!” See, that you can work with. All it takes is a little tug with your mind.
“Here.” You hold out the man’s watch.
“WHAT THE HELL?” Frozen robber yells.
The robber currently holding you reaches for the watch, but you are too quick, pulling when he pushes, and he too stands, well, leans, frozen. You walk over to the delivery man, handing him his watch.
“H-How did y-y-you...”
You wave your hands dramatically, “Magic. I’m a pretty good magician, yeah?” Then you look over to the frozen robbers. “Um, you should probably leave before the magic wears off, right? Go home to your wife. Tell her you fought off two men for that,” You look at his watch, laying a hand on his shoulder soothingly, and he nods quickly before jumping onto his delivery scooter.
“Y/n! You can’t do that! Stop, it's stealing.” Namjoon scolds, now by your side. You have both robbers’ wallets, pulling out extra cash while the men stay frozen and watch you terrified beyond imagination.
“What? This money is probably stolen anyways,” you argue.
Namjoon grabs the wallets out of your hand, exasperated. “Why do you have to be like this? Why?!” he yells, upset. You never acted this way until you started working with V and it angered him. When in reality, you had used your powers all the time to get the things you wanted and only held back when you were in your old friend's presence.
“At least with my way we don’t have to call an ambulance,” you mutter, annoyed.
“I don’t-I don’t mean t-to” he stutters, hurt by your words.
“I know, I know.” You are instantly filled with regret, but your temper doesn’t permit you to apologize. “Why are you getting so mad?! These are bad men aren’t they?” You glare at the frozen pair, their arms and legs still stuck in odd angles in front of you.
“Because we have to be better than them, y/n! They steal from someone so you steal from them and then when does it end?!”
You want to argue, but the way he looks at you fills you with guilt. You sigh, “...fine, we’ll do it your way.” You retake the wallets with Namjoon’s permission, walking towards the frozen men, you pull an ID between your fingers.
“You heard the man, consider yourself lucky.” You put the wallet back in the robber’s pocket and flip the identification card over, tucking it in the man’s front pocket. “I know your names and faces now, and where you live, so don’t think about breaking any more laws, because next time, we do it my way.” You grab the man’s cheeks, pinching his face between your fingers, “And my way involves you losing the ability to move permanently,” you warn, patting his cheek.
After you return the other man’s wallet and ID, you let them go, turning to a very stern looking Namjoon as they scurry away out of sight. “I didn’t mean it, I just said it to scare them.” You cross your arms, “Don’t tell me you’re mad about that too.”
Namjoon sighs, the entire ordeal went better than he expected at least. He pulls you back towards the road. “No. I’m glad…you helped… Why did you let him grab you like that? Are you okay?”
“Well, going in fists first is your thing,” you say, hooking your arm in his. “And I’m fine. Why, you were worried about me? C’mon, I fought you, you really think those assholes could hurt me? What, were you jealous?”
Namjoon scoffs. “Shut up,” wishing he could quiet you with his lips instead.
---
Something feels off. You know your childhood room was tiny, but there was a strangeness about it that unsettled you. You are officially home now after having Namjoon over for dinner. Your parents had been ecstatic to see you both again, grilled you and Namjoon on your relationship status much to your annoyance, and Namjoon left with the promise to come visit again tomorrow.
You loved your parents, but you accept your relationship is better when you’re only around them in small doses, so after dinner you went straight to your old room to unpack. You needed some alone time, but right now you didn’t feel alone.
You look around, eyeing each of your old electronics still sitting exactly where you left them. An old cordless phone that is still connected to the wall. Your TV and CD player haven’t moved. You notice your old computer, the web camera is still attached. Your eyes narrow when the odd feeling increases tenfold. Yoongi wouldn’t dare.
You glare at the piece of old technology, facing your body directly at the computer screen, and decide to test your theory by putting on a show.
Slowly, very slowly, you unbutton your blouse, until your front is left uncovered.
Hmm. Yanking off the clothing, you stand in your bra, turning your head to the side, trailing your hands over your body teasingly. At this point, you’re hoping Yoongi is watching, otherwise, acting like this for absolutely no one feels dumb. You pull off your bra, standing topless in the middle of your old bedroom. Okay, maybe you are dumb.
Giving up, you pull on a nightshirt and start unbuttoning your pants when your computer screen light turns on, white text letters beginning to fill the blank screen.
‘NICE TITS.’
How do you murder someone six houses away?
You move closer to the web camera, talking directly into the speaker. “Yoongi, what the fuck are you doing?”
‘LET’S TALK.’
Then the screen goes black and a notification pops up on your cell with a location in the center of town.
---
An old electronics store. ‘How convenient for him,’ you think.
The lights were turned on but no one stayed inside and the doors were locked. You sigh and easily unlock the door with your powers. Your break-in triggered an alarm, but it was silenced almost immediately, and you knew somewhere lurked the tech talker.
“Stalking me? Got a crush on me now?” you yell inside the empty store.
“I just think it’s a shame you’re holding your powers back for a man, not very 21st Century woman of you.” Yoongi appears behind a tall shelf. “You think those punks are going to become newly reformed citizens just because you threatened them?”
“I knew it, I knew it, you’re spying on me!”
Yoongi moves closer, rolling his eyes. “I’m making sure you are not playing both sides.”
“I’m not on a side,” you huff, “I thought I made that clear.”
“And yet, somehow Taehyung is always the one you’re standing next to when things go south,” he smirks. “But yeah, you’re totally not picking a side.”
“If you think I’m so powerful, why are you trying to piss me off, hmm?” The dirt starts to vibrate around your feet.
“Maybe I like a little pain.”
You smile. Yoongi’s right, you’ve been holding back, but you have no problem letting go now. The shelves by your sides begin to shake-
The speakers around you screech, the sharp high pitched noise is the worst sound you’ve ever heard. And it doesn’t end, loud and persistent, ringing in your eardrums. You scream, falling to the ground. While Yoongi, prepared with earplugs, walks closer to you, boots on either side of your head.
“Come on!” he yells, “JK never shuts up about how powerful you are, is this all you got?”
“I could-” You hold your pounding head, trying to hold your thoughts together, unable to concentrate, only able to destroy a quarter of the speakers in the store. “-rip your body from the inside out if I wanted to.”
If Yoongi was startled by that statement, he didn’t show it. However, the sound thankfully stops and he pulls out his earplugs. “I don’t think you want to do that, but I’d like to see you try.”
You turn onto your back, breathing heavily. Looking up at him, flicking your arm so every remaining electronic falls to the ground and breaks. “Your power seems to have limitations. It kind of…sucks.”
“Think so?” He bends down and places his hands on the ground by your head. “I might have agreed with you if we were born in another century. But now? I can feel it all around us, even in the ground, can’t you?”
You concentrate, feeling the hard twisting wires running beneath your body, in the floor, up the walls. Electricity covers the building, the sidewalks, running into the ground. Telephone, internet, power. So much power.
“You think my ability sucks? Sorry to break it to you baby, but out of everyone, my power might be the most similar to yours.” You roll your eyes and cross your arms behind your head, too tempted to crash an appliance into his smug face. This man did not just call you baby.
“We both use energy, mine is just a specific kind.” His fingertips hover over your shoulder and you flinch from the static electricity. The tiny hairs on your skin stand up, charged by Yoongi’s presence.
His hand hoovers over your body, down your neck, and then-
You yelp, arms covering your chest, glaring while Yoongi laughs softly.
His laughter stops when the air becomes tight around your bodies. His feet leave the ground as he hoovers, trying to balance himself with nothing to hold onto.
You lift yourself up, dragging your feet first, until you’re upside down, slowly flipping your bodies around until Yoongi is the one who’s on his back as you both float in the air.
Yoongi might have been right, but you weren’t going to let him know that, or let him believe you were anywhere in the same league. You plant your feet to the ground with a satisfied smirk as Yoongi struggles in midair. He throws his head back, glaring at you.
You cross your arms triumphantly and lean closer to his temple, whispering so close your lips graze his soft skin. “Tell me, any cool tricks to get out of this?”
The lights flicker and go out, the soft glow of the advertisements outside barely reach your bodies, but it almost looks like Yoongi’s eyes glow with them.
You can feel the static pull on the ends of your hair, but you’re too stubborn to let him go now. Shit.
Invisible power danced around you, zipping through the air until you felt that power hit through you and out.
You knew the current of electricity that hit your bodies was Yoongi’s doing, but the explosions afterwards, the collapsing building, was that you?
---
“Idiot, wake up.” Yoongi’s sleeping form zaps you again.
‘Pain in the fucking ass.’ You have spent all night trying to wake him up after healing both your bodies and fixing the whole goddamn shopping plaza. The destruction was worse than anything you've ever seen Namjoon cause, and it frightened you...
You hated how frightened you were, it reminded you of the first time you tried out your powers. In the beginning you were always afraid, never purposely used your abilities, unlike Namjoon who dived head first into his powers, it took you years to tediously build up your telekinesis.
You’re exhausted, you’re scared Namjoon is going to find out it was you, and you’re worried Yoongi’s family will wake up and find you hovering over their son in his sleep like a crazy stalker.
Eventually, too tired to keep trying, you pass out next to the slumbering tech talker.
You only closed your eyes for a second, at least you thought you did. Jolting awake, you notice your position is now switched with the tech talker, your tired body under his covers while he sits hunched over next to you, head resting on his crossed arms.
He lifts his forehead up, holding out your cell for you, “Namjoon won’t stop calling, I texted back saying you were busy, but I don’t think he believed it.”
You snatch the phone out of his hands, glaring. Namjoon is the person you should be with right now, not waking up in Yoongi's room. You turn around burying your head in his pillow, thinking of an excuse for Namjoon, upset you had to start your vacation lying to him again. What happened last night felt like a nightmare.
You never had anything against the aloof tech talker until now. There was a point last night where you thought you had put Yoongi in a coma and he’d never wake up, but he looks down at you now so indifferently it makes you want to rip his hair out for crying over him.
So you do, yanking at his hair, twisting the strands tightly in your grip, you can feel the tears welling up in your eyes again. “We could have both died, you idiot!”
He winces, reaching for your hair too. He’s much stronger than you, yanking your body back down. “Y/n, why aren’t you using your powers to get out of this?”
You can feel angry tears escape you, frustrated and still so tired, not understanding the point he’s trying to make. “Because I don’t want to use them?! You and everyone else act like what happened is a gift, or a calling; an improvement to your shitty fucking lives. I never wanted any of this! It’s a fucking curse!” The entire property shakes in your rage. It’s too much, you feel everything. You can hear the worried cries from his parents waking up in the other room. “Let me go,” lowering your voice, you cry softly. Yoongi looks down at you, sharp eyes still searching for something, cradling your head.
“Calm down, don’t let your powers control you,” his words are stern but soft and he waits for you to stop crying. “Thinking it’s a curse or a gift, it’s not going to change anything, it’s part of you. You always hold back, we all notice it, you need to learn how to master your abilities.”
“Why?! So I can do all the things you and Taehyung tell me to do?” you cry, dizzy, unable to control the shaking in your voice and the shaking of the house.
His finger wipes the wetness off your cheek. “No, not for us, for you. You don't listen to us anyways,” he smiles. The affection from him, after everything...just upsets you more. You didn't want to accept it felt comforting, instead you shove him away.
“Why do you care so much?!”
“Why do you care so little for anyone who’s not Namjoon?!” he asks, irritated, “when all you do is fight?!”
You really want to shut Yoongi up, you really want to open up a hole in the ground and fall inside. You did revolve your life around Namjoon since you were children, after all, and honestly, in this moment, all you really want is Namjoon to come save you from Yoongi’s horrible truths. “You’re right, just p-please stop.”
“Promise me you’ll think about what I just said. Taehyung helped all of us master our powers, we can help you.” He wipes away your falling tears until you calm down, until you finally nod at him.
---
“What do you want now?” you stand in front of Yoongi in your pajamas and a jacket, freezing. You received Yoongi’s message to meet him at the park via your computer.
“Come sit,” he motions to the empty swing next to him, moving back and forth on his own swing.
“You know these late night hook ups are not doing it for me.”
“Still playing hero with Namjoon I see” he asks. He didn't like the fact that you spent the entire day with Namjoon, he had thought he had finally gotten through to you last night.
Did you and Namjoon go to the annual Christmas festival this morning, yes. It was for a good cause, you told yourself. The funds raised would help the town and the community. Did you also happen to use your powers to save a performer from hurting himself when he accidently fell off a horse dressed like a reindeer, yes. It made Namjoon smile at you, your favorite dimpled grin, for the first time in months, and you were discreet so no one could tell, you told yourself. Yoongi could tell.
“And so what if I am? It’s none of your business anyways,” you say irritated, sitting on the empty swing in a huff.
“Because you’re not a hero.” You know you’re not. But for some reason when Yoongi says it, it greatly offends you.
“Fuck you. Maybe I took your advice and decided to embrace my powers for the greater good.” ‘Ew.’ “You know, ‘New year, new me,’”
“Planning to become Namjoon’s little sidekick?”
You scoff, “He would be my sidekick if anything, you ass.”
“So...are you going to betray us then?” he asks, suddenly serious.
You roll your eyes, how many times do you have to defend yourself to Yoongi? “I never said that. You guys are so goddamn annoying sometimes.”
When you agreed on using your clean up business as a cover for Taehyung’s illegal operations, you didn’t think you would become as close as you are now to the group. On paper, your old classmates worked for you, and their superpowers made cleanups so much easier, but more often you were pulled into their hijinks, asked to help steal, spy...punish. You did it because the people you were punishing were the type of people who never faced the consequences of their actions. You did it because Taehyung’s goals were a beautiful fantasy you hoped he would someday accomplish, even if his means were violent. It’s not like the rest of the world wasn’t just as violent. It’s not like you weren’t violent, your own powers unfortunately thrived in chaos.
Yoongi scoffs, “Do you think I want to spend all my free time watching you in case you flip? I have better things to do.”
You glare at him. “Then fucking leave. I’m not going to stop Joon, I thought that was clear when we decided all this.”
“Yeah, well, we all thought you’d get over your childhood crush eventually.”
“He is not my crush, he’s my best friend.” You grit out, trying to calm yourself as little specks of sand levitate at your feet.
“Is that what Namjoon would call you now, his best friend?” The sand falls back into place as you swing quietly, defeated. He's right, you were best friends. What were you now? Have you just been living in the past? You can’t even say for sure if Namjoon even likes the person you’ve become now, much less consider you a friend.
Yoongi sees your fallen attitude, and he feels bad for pushing you, even if it needed to be done. He needed to make sure Namjoon didn’t turn you against them. He stands up and swings you instead, softly holding your shoulders with every push. “Listen, I’m not trying to make you feel like shit, but after listening to you guys all day…” he groans, “Namjoon doesn’t understand you.”
You and Namjoon didn’t always see eye-to-eye on things, but his convictions make him the person you’ve always admired, and maybe you needed something like Joon, someone who makes you a better person.
“Are you willing to change everything about yourself to make him happy?” You stay silent, letting him swing you back and forth. The swing creaks, and you don’t utter a word. “Like I said before, you can do better.”
“Oh yeah, who? Taehyung?”
He stops the swing abruptly, hands around your waist, pulling you back.
“No...” His warm breath tickles your cold cheek. You can see the clouds of your own heavy breathing forming.
“...let me go.”
He obeys, untangling his arms from around your waist and letting you swing forward with the momentum.
“I’m not only here to visit my parents. So if you’re going to keep up this good girl charade, don’t interfere with what I have to do.”
“Let me in on the details.” you ask, curious.
Yoongi shakes his head, pushing you higher “Ah ah ah. How do I know you aren’t going to tattle on me? How am I supposed to trust you now?”
You sigh, turning your head to your left. “Feel that?” you whisper.
“Saw them coming on the CCTV.”
“Oh look, outsiders! Don’t you know it’s not safe to be out after dark?” You and Yoongi turn to see a group of young men, clearly looking for trouble. How dare they call you and Yoongi outsiders. Kids these days.
“Oh, perfect timing! Since I can’t hit him,” you keep swinging, gesturing to your companion. Yoongi laughs darkly. The group look at you with a mixture of confusion and greatly misplaced overconfidence.
“Gonna help or just watch?”
“Go right ahead,” he yawns, stretching, “I’m not going to hold you back.”
---
“I like your style, y/n.”
“Thanks.” you stretch your neck, walking home with Yoongi. You hand him the stack of new phones you acquired (since you promised Namjoon no wallets). “Find anything useful?” You watch as the screens go haywire under Yoongi’s touch.
“Nah, just a bunch of punks.” He stretches again, massaging his shoulder. You notice when he winces.
“That’s still bothering you? You know, I can fix that for you,” you hum, hands in your pockets. “I’ve done it for Joon.”
“Alright,” he says, placing the phones on top of an empty bench, all except one. “I’ll take you home first.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever snuck a guy in my room before,” you laugh, holding the window open for Yoongi.
“Not even Namjoon?”
“We would usually meet in the forest when we wanted to sneak out. You know the one close to the school?”
“Yeah, I used to meet my friends there all the time.” he says, lying on your bed, making himself at home.
You sit on the floor next to him, remembering the night you and Namjoon saw the shooting star. “At night? Take off your hoodie.”
‘Yeah,” he says as he removes the offending material. You reach under his shirt, The moment your skin touches him you feel a shock of static electricity, yelping from the jolt.
“Is that a normal thing?” You ask, annoyed. He grunts in confirmation. You move your arm higher, following the length of his body until you settle on his collar bone.
You concentrate on Yoongi’s shoulder, where the muscles are more tense and tight. “Do you remember the night you got your powers?” Yoongi grunts again. If you weren’t trying to heal him right now, you’d smack him. “Were you in the woods then?”
“Yeah, just figured it out?” Yoongi adjusts his body, slumping into your covers. “Thought you were smarter than that.”
Your eye twitches. This man really likes to annoy you. Inside your own bedroom, while you are helping him, no less. “Did you find it?”
“Find what?”
“What caused the green light, Joon and I looked all night...”
“No, I was with Jin at the time. The moment we saw it, Jin started freaking out. He said he was hearing voices, he almost passed out from all the noise in his head. I would have thought he went crazy, but then I started hearing noises myself.”
“You did? How the hell do your powers work exactly?”
“So you can tell your superhero boyfriend how to take me down? Are you going to tell me how you do this?” He gestures to your position.
You lean on your free hand, watching Yoongi comfortably rest while you do all the work. Even if he annoys you so much, you can’t imagine a scenario where you would betray him like that.
“I don’t even know how to explain it, to be honest. It’s like when you look at a forest. You don’t think of anything particular, you see the whole forest for what it is, but if you start concentrating, it becomes all these tiny little pieces that fit together to make up what you see; animals, insects, rivers, trees. I manipulate one tree and then another, eventually I’ve changed the forest. I feel you the same way.”
“I can feel your energy too.”
“Really?”
“I studied about it when I first realized my powers. Human bodies create electricity. It’s small, but it’s there.” But you, radiate the most he's ever felt.
You always thought Yoongi’s powers were pretty limited, but you’re learning every day there’s more to him. “So could you take energy, could you drain a body?!”
“Damn y/n, that's dark. No, I don’t control things like that, the closest I can explain it is-I’m borrowing energy. It’s a flow, a line of communication I can tap into, with more sophisticated devices it can become a whole conversation, or as simple as, ‘off’-” The lights turn off, plunging you into darkness. “-or ‘on’-” the computer monitor turns on, screen light filling the space.
“Hmm, still don’t really get it.” You press the computer button off with your mind. You understand the physical. You can feel currents of electricity but you can’t pick them up, move them like you would a tree or a desk. Even Hoseok’s lightning can knock you off your feet if you’re not paying attention. “You tell my lamp to turn on and off, are you saying my lamp could decide not to listen to you?”
Yoongi laughs. “You could think of it like that, it happened a lot in the beginning. I couldn’t control my powers. You could say I learned to be persuasive.”
“Same with Joon.” You’re tired. “Scoot over.”
You fit your body next to his on your tiny childhood bed. “What about the others? They were in the forest too, then? Do you know what happened to them?”
“Yeah,” he grunts, “Taehyung was with Jimin and Jungkook. They said they immediately felt the effects too, it was pretty crazy for them. Hoseok was all alone, he was biking along the forest when he saw it.”
“Oh shit.”
“He said he didn’t even know he had powers until he got upset one day. It took him awhile to even believe he was doing it.”
“Poor Hobi.” You look down at his bracelet still around your wrist.
“Yeah, he was in bad shape, luckily he crossed paths with Taehyung and the others, they helped him get control of his powers. I wish Jin and I had met Taehyung before moving to the city.”
You ask something that has been bothering you ever since you found out Namjoon and you weren’t alone in your abilities. “Why didn’t you ever reach out to Joon? That video was all people could talk about.”
“We figured it was someone from our class, but we didn’t know it was Namjoon! Jin had no control over his powers until we met up with Tae. He encouraged us to train our powers like a muscle. And no offense, but we all thought ‘RM’ was pretty dumb going public..”
“He was doing what he thought was right,” you frown, defending him. “You should have reached out, things could have been different.”
Yoongi scoffs, “And what about you? You were his best friend and you didn’t even tell him you had powers.” You guess he has a point there. “How did you hide it from him?”
You smile, Namjoon was smart when it came to books, other things...not so much. “The morning after, I felt different, but I didn’t think anything of it. Then after everything that happened with Joon, it scared me. I think my body just repressed everything out of fear, until...”
“Until?”
“Joon was being an idiot, really. He realized he could fly too, but he couldn’t properly land. He’d make massive holes wherever he went and run into trees and things. He was going to crash land into a car, I didn’t even realize it was me who moved it, I just wanted him not to get hurt.” you murmur, remembering how stressful those days were. “Once I finally came to terms that I had powers, Joon was already going out in a cape saving people like a real superhero. I couldn’t tell him then.” You had been too afraid he would have persuaded you to join him.
Yoongi flexes his fingers, sparks of electricity jump between his finger pads. You cuddle against his shoulder, sleepy. “It’s like you recharged me,” he says quietly. You hum.
“Now tell me your plans here, other than keeping an eye on me.” Yoongi stays silent. “Come on! I thought we were having a moment!”
Silence. “Or I could just break your arm and heal it again until you tell me,” you mumble into his shoulder impatiently.
Yoongi laughs at that, “Go ahead, I wanna see you do it.”
“Well now you just took the fun out of it,” you grumble. “Yoongi?” He grunts. “Do you ever think about what would have happened if you stayed friends with Joon? Became a superhero instead?’
Yoongi knows it’s not really him you’re asking for. “All that attention sounds like a nightmare. Also me in spandex?”
“Your hand runs down his torso, feeling his muscles as you pull your hand out from under his shirt. “I think you’d look pretty good.”
Everything is calm now, and you look at him without any resentment in your eyes, even though he was currently trying very hard to ruin your relationship with your oldest friend. Yoongi would second guess himself, if it weren’t for the fact that he could feel just how much energy was radiating off your body in that moment. “Would you give me a chance then, if I was a superhero?”
You snort. “What do you mean ‘chance’? I already got you in my bed,” you tease.
In your dark bedroom, you can only see Yoongi’s silhouette as he shifts his body to look at you. “I have a feeling I would piss a lot of people off if I decide to do what I’m thinking right now.” He teases you by running his fingertips along your arm. In the darkness, blue sparks emerge between your bodies.
“Whoa.”
“It’s coming from you, y/n.”
“Pretty cool-” You wiggle your fingers against his palm, watching sparks appear and dissipate. He grips your hand in his, so energized now, his powers were reaching to the satellites above the sky.
“I see now why they fight over you.”
“What are you saying, it’s not about my lovely personality? I’m offended.”
“If I was Joon, I would fight every day to be by your side.”
“You would lose.” you say dismissively.
He smiles, “I would still fight. You’d be worth it..”
You look up at him, “You just want me for my powers.”
“Yeah,” Yoongi agrees. “To have someone who wants to heal me just because she notices I’m in a bit of pain, someone as loyal and as beautiful as you, of course I’d want that.” There's more truth in his words than he wants to admit.
“That is definitely not going to work on me,” you lie, already feeling overwhelmed by his words.
Yoongi smirks, moving closer to you. “Okay then, maybe I just want to see these again.” His hand squeezes your breast, thumb rubbing your nipple through your night shirt.
Biting your lip, you arch your back into his touch. “Now that I believe.” You softly moan as he moves his body over yours, hands digging into your waist, pushing the end of your nightshirt up until your breasts are exposed.
His tongue runs along the curves of your breasts, sucking the sensitive nub into his mouth. The feeling is electric. Actually electric, small shocks of pleasure jolt through your body. He massages your breasts in his large hands, burying his face into your cleavage. You keep your moans quiet, but the bed creaks dangerously loud, a reminder you’re not alone in your apartment, you’re at your parents house, where the walls are paper thin.
“Y-You should go,” you hold his head in your palms, squishing his cheeks, and despite Yoongi’s sharp eyes, you think he looks cute.
His hand finds its way inside your pajama pants, dipping a single finger inside you, pressing into you until he hits his knuckles. “You sure?” Yoongi’s movements are skillful, and his touch, like his personality, gets straight to the point and doesn’t waiver; if he wants you to come for him, you will.
You groan in pleasure and bite down on the newly repaired muscle of his shoulder, testing him to see if he would pull away. But he looks into your challenging eyes with a challenge of his own, until you’re overwhelmed by pleasure, forgetting your indignation, eyes rolling back in pleasure instead, mouth releasing his shoulder, opening wider in a soft moan as your body shakes in rhythm to his fingers.
Namjoon was always careful, even if he didn't know his strength. Yoongi on the other hand, did not treat you gently, he took what he wanted, let pleasure rule above all. He may not be as strong as Joon, but he acted just as imposing and intimidating, an impressive quality that you’ve always liked about him. And now...
As he was brutally pounded your body into the carpet of your old childhood room, his dominance made you tingle. Or maybe it was his powers. Your skin felt hot under the rub of being pulled back and forth against his hard length. His tongue in your mouth stole your breath away, it felt so good, his soft lips and demanding touch.
“Y-Yes, fuck me harder.”
That was something Yoongi definitely had no objections to.
---
“Where are we going?” You follow Namjoon deep into the forest.
He carries four large bags, you follow behind him, telepathically moving tree branches out of the way that threaten to tear the plastic, your old friend not even noticing the way he bumps into the scenery.
“You don’t recognize this place?” he teases.
You did, yet still an uneasiness settled inside you even though you’ve taken this path a hundred times before. It was the path you and Namjoon used to take when you were kids.
“I remember.”
“Come on then!” He jumps on top of a familiar rock, one you used to lay on and watch the stars together on school nights. The sun beamed down on your old friend high above you, and he felt so far away. Yoongi's words were getting to you. Tired from the climb, you float your body next to his, peering into one of the bags.
“What’s this?!” You smile and drop down, seeing a garland of popcorn in one of the bags.
“We’re decorating a tree!” Namjoon smiles cutely. “When we arrived you seemed upset your parents had already set up theirs. You used to always help me with mine.”
You smile, wondering if he really missed you as much as you missed him. “Hmm yeah that was fun.” Tilting your head back you survey the massive trees. “This might be the biggest tree we’ve decorated yet.”
Namjoon hoovers above the ground, the sight makes you realize he really doesn’t use his flight unless he’s doning his RM superhero outfit. “Doesn’t look that big from here!” he yells.
This reminds you of the days you spent together before he took his powers so seriously. Your spirits are lifted up by how carefree he’s acting.
And so, you, lift, too.
---
You spent all day decorating the tallest forest tree with edible ornaments for the wildlife and zooming around the forest with Namjoon, lost in your own world. Namjoon helped of course, but mostly watched you, mesmerized by your powers.
When you were alone together you didn't worry about anything else, he didn't feel the weight of his responsibilities out in the forest, he didn't have to do anything, he just had to make you laugh.
Like now, your laughter filling the quiet forest. Namjoon picks you up, hands around your waist, so you lift his body up using your powers, and he flies you both higher, over the forest.
“It's cold!” You laugh, leaning into him, burying your face into his chest until he brings you both down again.
You chanced a kiss, warm in Namjoon's embrace. And deepen it when he kisses you back.
Namjoon kissed you pressed up against a tree, holding your body firm. He missed your soft lips and your hot mouth, he missed the curves of your body, the softness of your breasts and stomach, the heat of your sex, but most of all, he missed the throaty melody of his name moaned out by your voice.
He missed it so much that when he comes he doesn't stop, his hips thrusting into you until his name leaves your lips again. When Namjoon comes for a second time, he can feel the hot wet pulsing of your walls around him as you let go, your bodies wound tightly around one another too much like lovers, your eyes staring into his with so much love and desire he has to recatch his breath.
---
At the end of the day you both lied under the decorated tree, admiring your handiwork and watching birds flock to the edible decorations.
“This was fun,” you sigh, lying against his warm chest.
“Just keeping you out of trouble,” Namjoon jokes, but you don’t see the humor in it.
You sit up. “What do you mean?”
Namjoon can already tell you took his joke the wrong way. “Calm down, I was only kidding.”
“Do you think you have to keep me in check? You think I’m a danger to society or something? Is that why you brought me out here into the middle of the forest?” It was hard not to let your insecurities surface, with the fear that once you leave your hometown Namjoon will become cold and distant to you just like before.
“What?! N-No! We always used to come here!”
“You know, before you found out about my powers, I was constantly cleaning up your messes. I still do!”
If you wanted to go there, Namjoon would go there. “So it wasn’t you who trapped a dozen men inside the jungle gym last night. The fire department had to cut them out, it was all over the morning news, y/n. They could have frozen to death outside.”
“You’re being dramatic,” you mutter.
“What were you doing last night? Looking for trouble with Yoongi?! You could have called me for help, or you should have called the police-”
You snort. “Yeah, looks like the police have everything handled around here. It was never like this when we were kids. The police budget's tripled here and crime is the worst it's ever been, maybe RM should look into that before telling me I can’t-”
“Alright alright,” Namjoon pulls off his glasses, rubbing his temples. Another argument with you was exactly what he was trying to avoid. “I get it, I get it. You think you’re above the law.”
“THE POLICE THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW.”
Namjoon groans, “Your sound like V!” Namjoon yells back at you, slamming down his fist. “DO YOU THINK THAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO KILL PEOPLE?” It always ends up back to this argument, and you never are going to apologize for that. The impact from his fist crumbles the rock under his fist, creating a large crack down the middle and shaking the ground.
He looks at the broken rock, years of his childhood now blemished. “Shit. Fix it, y/n, please.”
“...no.”
---
“Wow, so you actually come out in daylight.”
You lean against your parent’s door in your pajamas. You were planning on staying in bed until the new year passed, and then your mom dragged you out of your room, talking excitedly about a handsome stranger asking for you.
“Get dressed, I want to take you somewhere,” Yoongi says.
“Why?” you ask skeptically.
“You’re a ‘good girl’ now, right?” Yoongi mocks, “We’re gonna go do some good around here. Hurry up!”
You glare at him, utter annoyance replacing your pathetic despondency. You turn around swiftly, headed to your room. “Wear something you don’t mind getting dirty!”
You walk silently next to Yoongi, curious as hell as to where he’s taking you.
“That festival you went to, did you know the town Governor holds that every year?”
“Yeah.”
“All those ticket sales, he’s supposed to use those donations to help our community, right?”
“Yeah…”
He leads you by the hand to a group of volunteer tents, introducing you to one of his friends. “Hey, has The Governor given any financial aid to you guys since winning re-election?” His friend just laughs at him instead of answering. Yoongi hands you a bucket full of tools.
“We’re here to actually help our community. You, beautiful, are going to help ‘fix-up’ these houses while I ‘fix’ their electricity.” He leads you into a run down neighborhood. The houses on the street look all but abandoned. “Most of these houses belong to senior citizens, really old, so they won’t notice when you use your powers. However-” he whispers. “Take this opportunity to work on your subtly,” he places your hands down to your sides. “Our powers come from our mind. I don’t have to say, ‘on’ and ‘off’ anymore, you shouldn’t have to move your arms for small things like this.”
---
You sigh, “You know, Joon would have loved to help with something like this. You should have let him come too, Yoongi.”
Yoongi nods. “I know. I did.”
“What?” The wistful smile on your face falls.
“Your friend tends to be rigid in his ideals, can we agree on that?”
“What are you saying?” you ask confused.
Yoongi pulls the end of his shirt up to wipe the dirt off his face. “A lot of these people are squatters. They refinanced their homes to pay off debt and couldn’t keep up with the interest.”
Yoongi sighs, “I gave them stolen electricity, y/n, something the power company can’t turn off. I let him know what I was going to do. He didn’t want to be a part of it, but he promised not to stop me. I’m sorry I kept it a secret from you, mad at me?”
“I’m not mad.” you say, stunned. “Did you really explain it to him? About why they can't pay?”
“Should I have to? I think it should be a basic human right, don’t you?” he shrugs, “You can try though, if you want. He’d probably see it differently coming from you,” he runs his finger across your cheek, wiping away dirt. “He doesn’t like me now that we’re close.”
“Joon isn’t like that.”
Yoongi could have told you Namjoon threatened him to stay away from you. But the way both of you have been acting recently, clearly upset with each other, he didn’t feel like upsetting you even more, screw Taehyung’s mission.
An old woman comes over to you and Yoongi, handing you a loaf of fruit bread she made as a thank you gift for fixing her home, the new insulation and heat will keep her warm this winter. You give Yoongi half. In many ways Namjoon and Yoongi still act the same as when you were kids, even when the most life changing phenomenon happened to all of you, Yoongi still finds ways to help those who can’t help themselves. Namjoon does everything in his power to do what he thinks is just. But you’re starting to realize you’ve changed a lot.
---
Knock Knock Knock. It’s become a habit to knock in the pattern Namjoon knows.
“H-Hey.”
You haven’t seen him in awhile, not since you blew up on each other. “Hey. Your mom wanted me to come over and help her make dumplings?”
“Oh. OH! Oh thank god, come inside, she keeps making me redo mine,” Namjoon whines, pulling you inside and dragging you to the table you used to do your homework on.
“Y/n! You came! Hopefully my son will cheer up now.” She gives Namjoon a stern look that makes you laugh.
Throughout your stay you tried to bring up Yoongi, but Namjoon dismissed all your attempts. You wondered if he really disliked Yoongi that much, and why.
When you walk home that evening, head full of questions; when you walked passed a fight, you almost didn't stop. But you did, regretfully.
You noticed the struggle outside a convenience store, a man and police guard fighting. The man looks very familiar-
“Hey! I thought I told you not to do that anymore!”
“Oh fuck no, no no no-”
“Stop struggling!” The guard yells, trying to secure handcuffs around the robber. You cross your arms over your chest, willing the robber's body to stop moving.
The police guard shoves the man into the concrete, screaming again, “Stop resisting!” But he's not resisting, because you are purposefully keeping him still.
The robber screams in pain. You see the items he stole scattered around the concrete. Food and...baby formula.
Fuck. What would the old you do? Mind your own damn business. What would Joon do? Let the police handle it? No, you can't believe he would do that. What would the you in this very pivotal moment do?
You search for the closest street camera, looking pleadingly for help. Pulling out your cell out, you start recording the officer. “Yoongi,” you mutter under your breath, “Help me out here,” hoping for once the tech talker was still stalking you via your electronics.
“Are you recording me?”
“Yep. It's almost Christmas, can't you just let him off with a warning?”
“Ma'am if you don't step back right now, I'll arrest you too!”
There is a loud sound, like someone pressed onto a car horn and kept their hand down, folllowed by the familiar sound of police sirens, the guard's car activated and blaring it's lights. Then the street lights and store loses power, bathing everyone in hues of blue and red. You mentally thank Yoongi.
“It's h-her! S-She's doing it!”
“First of all, no, second of all, I'm trying to help you out here, asshole.”
The police guard reaches for his gun and that's when you really do use your powers.
Now that the guard was knocked out, you release your hold on the robber. “Here,” you hold out your arm, baby formula in your hand. The robber swipes it, holding the can close to his chest. Struggling with what to do next.
“Crazy witch, stay away from me!”
And Namjoon finds this rewarding?
---
You were not spying on Min Yoongi.
You had just grown accustomed to his late night requests. And when he didn’t ask you to meet him today, you just wanted to make sure he was okay. So you might have searched for him using your telekinesis, but it wasn’t spying!
You went to the tallest point you could find and tried to “see” him in your mind, concentrating until you found a figure that took up a Yoongi-sized space, who moved in a distinctive walk like Yoongi, who radiated an insane amount of energy...
So that’s how you found yourself out for a midnight stroll, on the opposite end of town, close to the neighboring powerplant.
“There’s cameras everywhere, you think I didn’t notice you?” The tech talker turns around, staring in your direction. You step out from the shadows, not spying.
“What a coincidence that we just ran into each other like this.”
“Lucky me.”
“Well, what the hell are you doing across town, the night before Christmas lurking around like the Grinch?”
“Oh, just here to cause some trouble. Going to stop me, Miss Magician?”
“What do you mean ‘cause trouble’?” A powerplant and Yoongi in the same equation, sounds like an answer you’re going to regret solving.
“I’m destroying that.” He gestures to the plant. Yep, instant regret. “Now that you’re here, can you do it for me?”
“Yoongi, what the hell?!”
“Fine, make it difficult for me.”
“Why is it always the hot guys?” you sigh. “You’re absolutely insane, you know that right?”
“So you think I’m hot?” Yoongi smirks.
Your eyes narrow on him, “Don’t act like it’s a revelation. If you wanna destroy this powerplant, be my guest, but you think Joon won’t notice if suddenly half the town loses power on Christmas Eve?”
But Yoongi is not paying attention to you, he’s already walking towards the quiet building.
“You’re going to be ruining a lot of Christmases if you do this!” you warn.
Yoongi scoffs, hands in his pockets.
“Wait wait wait!” you tug on his arm, stopping him momentarily.
“Looks like your boyfriend is rubbing off on you after all.”
You clench your jaw, trying to calm yourself, “He’s not my boyfriend.” The lights flicker around you, and you’re not sure which one of you is to blame.
“Can you just explain to me why you need to destroy this powerplant?”
“Sure. This plant has been overcharging customers for years. Would rather pay fines to the government because they still make more off of scamming our community. I destroy it, a new company Taehyung has lined up takes over, and these selfish bastards get fucked-”
“Okay…Okay…can’t it be after Christmas then. You’re trying to fuck over the company, right, not the residents, don’t take away their Christmas! Please Yoongi, please.” Hoping to convince him, the last thing you need right now is to get stuck in another fight with Namjoon.
“Alright,” Yoongi relents, “But before the new year this power plant is shutting down.”
---
“Thank you, for the compromise,” you walk slowly through the town with the tech talker. “I mean it, thank you.” You didn’t want to fight with Yoongi too, especially on Christmas Eve.
“I take it Namjoon doesn’t compromise very often.”
‘Try never,’ you think. “Anyways, it’s past midnight, Merry Christmas, Yoongi.”
Yoongi grunts. But then he stops you, pulling on your elbow.
“What’s wrong?”
“Merry Christmas,” he says, pulling you into a hug.
“Ow,” you giggle, receiving a small shock of static electricity as his head moves away from your cheek. Yoongi laughs softly, unwilling to move away any further. His presence was something you were growing to enjoy, so when his nose nudged yours, you didn’t try to stop him or push him away.
Before your lips touch, you feel Yoongi’s familiar spark, pricking the delicate skin. His lips drag along yours, warming up your insides in the winter cold. You almost don’t notice the wind that shifts, a figure zooming into the night sky. Almost…Namjoon.
“You…d-did that on purpose…” you say, pushing Yoongi away.
“Yeah I saw Namjoon coming,” he says, yanking you back, “But I kissed you because I wanted to, y/n. Fuck, not everything has to do with Namjoon.”
His body tenses and he falls to his knees. You looked down at him, held him there, trying not to cry or scream or destroy everything in your radius. Namjoon had seen you kiss Yoongi. You and Namjoon weren’t together, so why did you feel so devastated?
Captive in your powers, he didn’t resist. He didn’t look afraid like your usual captives, Yoongi just watched you silently while your emotions swirled around inside of you, your own restraints tightening around your heart.
You want to go to Namjoon, but you knew you would only make things worse. Falling to your knees in front of Yoongi, you release him from your telekinetic hold. You don’t know what you expected him to do in that moment, but you hadn’t expected he would wrap his arms around you, pulling you into a comforting hug.
---
A soft rapting on glass wakes you up. You peek outside your curtains and see RM standing outside your window. It was Joon, in his signature superhero suit, transformed into RM.
“Joon? What’s going on?” you ask apprehensively. You jump outside, shivering, a light robe hastily pulled around your body. He stood stoic, you couldn’t see the anger he felt, but you knew Namjoon long enough to notice the glimpses, the cracks, in his demeanor. He stood, strong as a god, tortured with his thoughts.
“I wanted to give you this before I go back into the city.”
“You’re leaving right now?” he nods as you hold a small gift wrapped in green paper. “I have something for you too.” Placing a hand behind your back you pull Namjoon’s gift from your bedroom, it zips through the air and lands in your palm. It was a pocket watch. You engraved it yourself using your powers.
“I love it.” Your gift box held silver drop earrings, the ends came to a sharp point like two tiny daggers. “They’re beautiful.”
“My hero…” he reads the engraving outloud, voice breaking.
You bite your lip, unable to feel anything but sadness. You busy your hands by putting the earrings on. “How do I look?”
“I saw them and thought of you.” He touched the end of the earring with his finger, the sharp point pricking his skin. “Beautiful and dangerous,” he laughs sadly to himself.
You grab his hand, pressing your fingers on his, his cut is gone when you remove them. “Dangerous only when I want to be,” You try to joke with him, holding his hand, you notice his red knuckles, “What h-happened?”
He lost his temper, he lost control, he used his superpower for his own selfish reasons, he had wanted to destroy things, use his fists to release the anger he felt inside watching another man kiss you.
You shiver and wrap your arms around your body, and Namjoon surprises you by pulling you into a hug.
“I wish it wasn’t like this.”
“Y/n...I hate doing this alone. I hate fighting with you.” A naive part of him thought you would have changed your mind by now, want to be by his side.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I upset you.”
He pulls away from you, “From now on, we should stay away from each other.”
“W-What? W-Why?”
“When I’m around you...I-I’ve done things I’m not proud of...you’re changing me. It was supposed to be the other way…I can’t do this with you anymore.”
Your heart felt divided, cracked by his words.
“Namjoon, I love you.” You proclaimed your love, even though you knew love wasn’t enough to save your relationship.
Yoongi watches from inside your bedroom. “Don’t do it, don’t do it,” he mutters under his breath, watching Namjoon fight his feelings for you. He wanted Namjoon out of your life for his own selfish reasons now. What can he do?? He uses all his power to form a strong electrical charge, red sparks flash across your ceiling behind you, lighting up your room.
“Just stay with me until the New Year, please,” you plead, eyes welling up with tears. Hoping to mend the last threads of your friendship. You can fix everything, why can't you fix your relationship with Namjoon?! But Namjoon has made up his mind, he received the message from Yoongi. The strongest man in the world can’t have any weaknesses, he can’t have you.
Sighing, Yoongi sends Taehyung a message now that you’re alone.
‘RM is headed your way. Y/n is with me. Keep him busy.’’
“How did you find me?” You continue watching the stars in the sky, lying on the familiar rock, the crack Namjoon accidentally created is now gone.
Yoongi lies down next to you. “I haven’t been out here in forever.”
Settling down by your side, Yoongi reaches over to touch your left ear. “Let me guess, a parting gift from your dear friend?” You hum. “It’s a tracker,” Yoongi says. “I tapped into it.”
“Is it?” you say, unphased. You probably should feel betrayed. You feel nothing.
“I just think it's strange, he wants nothing to do with you, but he wants to know where you are all the time.”
You stay silent. Right now you didn’t want to talk to Yoongi, you just wanted to forget about Namjoon.
“I’m just saying, those aren’t the actions of someone who wants you out of their life.”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” You didn’t want to talk about it or think about it, and you knew the irony of coming to the place that held so many memories for you and Namjoon. But it was easier pretending to be back in the past, where you and Namjoon were best friends again and not enemies.
“I’m sorry,” You’re not used to hearing Yoongi without his usual detached drawl. His tone is soft and soothing, and you melt into the way he runs his hands along your arms comfortingly. “I know you’re hurt, but you’re not alone.”
Turning on your side, you look into Yoongi’s eyes, “I don’t want to talk about it.”
You held in your cries. You couldn’t let out your pain, but you could let go of your inhibitions. You rest your head against his, mouth moving closer. His lips, that’s what you wanted to feel instead of this sadness. His soft grunts of pleasure, that’s what you wanted to listen to instead of speaking about your pain. So you kissed him harder, ran our hands down his body, searching for a replacement for your pain, hungrily exploring him until you found it, moaning Yoongi’s name, your hand in his pants.
Your actions turned frantic, fingers tightly wrapped around his rock hard dick, slipping over his length, tasting his soft skin, licking his neck, taking what you wanted.
Yoongi wasn’t going to stop you, and pulled your hips down on him closer when you sat your body on top of his, not when it felt so good, and he had grown attached to the sweet flavor of your wildness and incredible power.
---
“Miss me?”
“Why don’t you just look into my mind and find out.”
“Oof, it’s like a Lifetime movie in there.”
You take a deep inhale, and then...throw Jin off the building.
“Ahh!”
“Shut up! You’re going to get us caught,” Yoongi hisses at Jin, who is currently suspended in mid air over the side of the building, trying to breast stroke his way back onto the rooftop. “y/n, come on, play nice for me.”
You roll your eyes, pulling Jin back. “I’ll let that one slide since you’re all mopey,” Jin says, fixing his jacket.
“I like the new look,” Jungkook materializes behind you and then materializes in front of you. It wasn’t a cape, but the long black coat you wore did look pretty cool. The dagger earrings Namjoon had gifted you dangle in your ears. You didn't care if they were trackers, you wouldn't part with them.
“Stop hopping around, you’re making me dizzy,” Seokjin complains.
“It’s kind of hard not to when I literally have to be in two places at once,” Jungkook appears behind Seokjin. Not only was Jungkook currently helping Yoongi, he had to keep Taehyung safe from a very irate RM, but he couldn’t tell you that.
“You and I could have handled it,” you whisper to Yoongi.
“Think of it as a team building exercise.”
“But not too loud,” Seokjin adds.
“What are we waiting for?” Jungkook pops up between you and Yoongi, draping his big arms around you both.
“Yoongi is pulling data files right now,” You say. The group plans to expose just how much electricity each house is using compared to what the company is billing the residents.
“Almost done. Jungkook hop through the building and send whoever is left inside back to their families, give them the night off.”
“Aye aye.” And Jungkook disappears again.
“And Jin, get the fuck off of y/n and do your job. Make sure we haven’t been spotted.”
“I can multitask,” Jins says, pulling you into a headlock. “Oh no he’s getting jealous.”
Jin relaxes his hold, hand nudging your chin, he points to a very flustered Yoongi. You smirk, “Are you?” The tech talker glares at the mind reader and Jin (telepathically) receives the message. He coughs, untangling himself from you.
Jungkook appears, letting you know he cleared the building. Only the guard, stationed at the front of the entrance, watching manipulated cameras Yoongi altered, remains.
“Ready?” Yoongi asks. You interlace your fingers, nodding. You extend your hand to Seokjin, “Want to watch the show or hop out?”
Seokjin hears your thoughts, the dull howls of anguish your brain manifests. The sadness you can’t escape and try to ignore, this current state of mind becoming your new normal. Just a glimpse into your mind makes him feel trapped in a hell.
“I’m staying. Can’t get rid of me so easily.” He holds your free hand and intertwines your fingers with his, laying a brief peck across your knuckles, trying in his own small way to lift your spirits. You roll your eyes, but smile at him, and inside you’re weeping.
Your eyes remain indifferent as you stare around at the powerplant you’re going to have to destroy, you didn’t really care about the mission, you were willing to flatten everything into the ground if they wanted you to, and part of you hoped they would ask.
Seokjin squeezes your hand, reminding you to focus. Your heels leave the rooftop, your feet leave the ground. You lift the men beside you too. Yoongi has gotten used to your levitation act, but Seokjin flounders next to you, that alone is worth using your powers on the pair. “Hop back in five, Kookie. ”
“Make it ten, gotta check on some things,” and the teleporter disappears once again.
You were used to fixing things, rebuilding buildings, never destroying one. Namjoon was The God of Destruction, not you. Namjoon… That's all you can think about again.
Steel snaps, machines fold in on themselves and explode, concrete disintegrates into a massive pile of dust, and when the dust clears the three of you overlook the massive hole where the large powerplant once stood.
Seokjin breaks the silence. “Goddamn.”
---
“Where’s Jungkook? He's late!”
“Put your hands up!”
The three of you turn around to beams of blinding light. Flashlights and guns point at you and your teammates. A pair of officers scream at you, aiming their pistols at you. “I thought JK said there was only one guard,” you hiss, holding your hands up.
“They were patrolling the area.” Seokjin says after listening to the policemen’s thoughts. “Damn unlucky...for them,” he mutters, hands in the air.
“Err it’s not what it looks like?” Jin speaks with a weary smile. Wearing all black had originally been a good idea, now the trio of you just looked way too suspicious.
“Get on the ground!!” Too quickly, the officers escalate the situation, hitting Yoongi and dragging him to the ground.
“Stop!” you yell when the officers attack Seokjin next, your temper quickly reaching it’s breaking point. You emotions already too wild, anger consuming you.
You catch Jin’s eyes, speaking in your mind, ‘Tell Yoongi to stop all the police cameras on my signal.’ He nods quickly, struggling on the ground.
You push down your anger, putting on your best impression of a helpless frightened woman. “What are you doing?! Please, please, don’t do this!” your voice quivers, on the brink of tears.
“Shut up and get down!” At your feet Yoongi yells loudly as the officer kicks him in the back. The second officer points his gun straight at you. And that is when you truly snap.
“Please, please don’t shoot...him.” you whimper, looking at the other officer. “Don’t shoot your partner…”
“What the hell are you-” he turns his head to his partner, who has his pistol pointed straight in his direction. “What the fuck?!”
“It’s not me! I c-can’t-”
“ What's wrong with you?! Put the fucking gun down!” The other officer draws his pistol again, aiming it at his frightened partner’s head.
You look at Yoongi. The signal he needed.
Two bullets fly as the cameras cut off.
The officer you controlled falls to the ground writhing in pain. Two intercepted bullets lodged in each of his legs by to your powers. “You should be thanking me. Your ‘partner’ was aiming for your head.” You kick him in the jaw and he falls unconscious.
You turn to the second man, paralyzed by fear and well, by you.
“Look at you,” you sigh, crouching down to look at him. “You’re so used to going unchallenged. You think you can do whatever you want because of it, hurt whoever you want, because you’re above the law, right? So how does it feel?” you ask, flicking his badge, “to have a taste of your own medicine?”
“You really shouldn’t have pissed her off, woman is not stable,” Jin quips, cradling his bruised ribs. The officer is red in the face, drooling from his struggle to free himself from your invisible shackles.
“What’s his name?” You ask Jin, looking straight in the eyes of the trembling officer. Jin says his full name. You reach for his pocket, pulling out his wallet.
“His address?” you ask, going through his cards, while Seokjin recites his home address.
“You missed the Apt number,” you flip his identification card between your fingers, “Number 1301.”
“Floor 3” Seokjin adds. A corner apartment.” He scrutinizes the officer’s wide eyes. “The keypad code is 64..50.” He laughs. “When you try not to think about something, your thoughts just become louder,” he taunts.
Your eyes narrow on the officer. “What is his wife’s name?” You can feel his body struggle against you when Seokjin answers.
“Does he have any children?”
“Wrap it up before more of them show up,” Yoongi warns you, he sends messages to the rest of the team, ten minutes have passed and Jungkook still hasn’t hopped back.
“Two, a sixteen year old and a five year old.”
You stand up, glowering down at him, speaking slowly to make sure the officer hears every veiled threat in your words. “What are their names?” Jin hesitates, wondering just how pissed you were, and searches your thoughts before he answers as the officer sits stunned and terrified.
“Where do they go to school?”
“Look at me, we know where you live. We know the names of your wife and children. We know where they go to school. The next time you’re there I could make you take your gun out just like I did right now…” you wait, emphasizing your point, “Or you could do us all a favor, find a way to explain that camera footage away and pretend this never happened.” You give him back the ability to speak and move his head.
He nods, too scared to speak. “Here’s your wallet back, I’ll keep this,” you hold onto his ID.
Jin stiffens, and then punches him in the face, knocking him out.
“What was that for?” You throw the officer’s ID into the pile of rubble, hoping your mind games worked on him.
“I didn’t want to hear his thoughts anymore.”
“Are we in the clear at least-”
“Whoa, what did I miss?” Jungkook materializes next to you.
“Let’s go!” Yoongi yells, the CCTV cameras alerting him you all needed to get out.
---
“What do you want? I told you not to bother me until after the New Year.”
It was Jungkook. He hopped himself beside you, you were back at Namjoon's spot, shunning everyone, watching the last of the decorations be consumed by wildlife. “Is this what you’re going to do? Mope around here while RM goes on a rampage?”
“A rampa-FUCK JUNGKOOK WARN ME.” you gasp, floundering on the floor trying to regain your sense of direction. “Is tha-”
“Warning!”
“Uggh.” You groan. “Yo-Yoongi?”
“Heal him. Hurry. He said you’ve done it before.” Jungkook had transported you to Yoongi’s passed out body, and then both of you to an abandoned building. “I’ll work on the decor.”
Yoongi had a black eye, swollen lip, gash over his temple. He looked thoroughly beat up. He moves, gaining consciousness.
“D-Did Namjoon do this to you?”
“No, it was probably some other overpowered pissed off superhero,” he wheezed.
“This won’t be pleasant.” You concentrate, using all your energy to repair his broken body quicker than you’ve ever done before, rejuvenating him so much so his entire being crackles with energy, energy you’ve given him.
“Whoa, I didn’t even have time to hop a table.” Jungkook appears, lying across two newly appears chairs, before disappearing and reappearing with aforementioned table.
“What happened?”
Jungkook appeared with a wide screen television and Yoongi used his powers to turn on it on to the news. A newscaster reports over the town wide electricity outage, and then the mysterious powerplant explosion, which left one police officer dead.”
‘DEAD? Jungkook, I thought you made sure-”
“I did!”
The face of that familiar officer’s partner flashes across the television. It was the face of the partner who you left with gunshots in his legs, very non-life threatening gunshots!
“Yeah, he was very much alive when I hopped them back to their police car.”
“So what the hell?!”
“Jin thinks his partner murdered him”
“He murdered his partner?! I definitely did not tell him to do that.”
“Well we're being blamed for it, RM figured out it was us who destroyed the powerplant.” Yoongi grunts. “RM blindsided me, used an EMP on me. Fuck, that shit hurt.”
“Jungkook, take me to Tae.”

The sunset seemed to shine brighter today. The motions of Taehyung's plan to fix what you had ruined in your hometown were progressing. Electricians from the all over the town and neighboring cities were working under the tech talker's supervision, an investigation into the Governor's spending was underway.
Which just leaves...
“Back already? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.”
“Y/n, come with me.” RM floats high above you. Body tense, expression full of anger.
“Going to expose me to the world as a super villain?”
“I will do what needs to be done to make sure you don't kill anybody else.”
You roll your eyes. You didn’t want to explain what really happened, try to make him see your side of things anymore. If Joon wanted to think you were truly a villain, you were going to let him.
“I know you're stronger, but let's see who's faster?”
So you and RM fought like enemies. When you threw the rubble left over from the powerplant at Namjoon, you pushed down your worries because you knew he could take the beating. When he held you in his crushing grip, it wasn't a warm embrace anymore. It hurt more to think he wanted hurt you rather than the pain itself. Before you could make one of the worst decisions of your life, Jungkook appeared and teleported the pair of you across the town until you both landed hard on concrete at the feet of a crowd.
“I thought we agreed to a warning,” you wheeze, still restrained by RM. “Oh, I know you,” you grunt, immediately recognizing a face in the crowd. Actually, you recognized almost all of them.
There was Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, Hoseok, Yoongi, and Jin, along with the punks you dealt with that night with tech talker, the robber you helped escape among the crowd.
Yoongi had used the cell you gave him not only to keep tabs on the men, but reach out to them. He made a deal with them, in exchange for helping Taehyung, he would help them make money and they would all help make this town safer for their families.
“RM, let her go, it's not her fault,” Taehyung says calmly.
“Yeah, IT'S YOUR FAULT!” Namjoon charges Taehyung and you quickly freeze him.
“The officer died after we took the powerplant down, the reports were falsified, let us explain.” Seokjin says.
Namjoon breaks from your telekinetic hold momentarily as you struggled to hold him still, already brought to your knees fighting his superhuman strength, your shaking arms pressed into concrete, focusing your eyes on him, you finally release him when you feel him stop struggling.
Yoongi goes to your side, lifting your tired body up. “If you don't want to listen to us, listen to them,” Yoongi says.
You and Namjoon stay quiet as each man tells their story, the injustices they faced, especially at the hands of the police, constantly targeted, always fighting, always surviving, asking the hero to help them.
“Let's work together this one time, RM.” Taehyung says, keeping his distance. “There are criminals on both sides, we will help you stop your criminals, if you help us stop their criminals. Then if you want, we can go back to hating each other.”
You found out what happened to the dead police officer. Yoongi played you and RM the police car's dashcam audio. His partner shot him, killed him. His partner knew if he didn't cover up what happened, horrible things were going to happen, but he wanted to punish you, arrest you, get vengeance. They argued heatedly, the pain in the officer's legs made him angry and narrow sighted, and in the end, his partner killed him because he couldn't trust him.
Namjoon turned to you instead, you looked so different to him, yet there you stood, the dull eyes you had before glossed over with emotion again, his earrings shining in your ears.
“Are you really going to help me?”
“I'll stand by you, but I'm not wearing a cape.”
“No...” Namjoon utters, crossing his hands over his large chest. “No cape, no deal.” His gaze softens only for a second, only for you.

The whole town is out tonight watching the fireworks. One hour until midnight.
It didn’t matter what part of town you came from, sitting under the night sky and watching the magnificent light show put into perspective how tiny you were in this world, how spectacular living could be.
Somewhere in the crowd sits Namjoon and his parents, you could feel him close by.
You find the tech talker on his own, away from the crowd. You sit next to Yoongi. You check his expression, but he remains impassive, watching the fireworks quietly. You can see the bright colors reflected in his eyes.
“What are you thinking about?” you ask him quietly.
“I knew you would come sit here,” he sighs. The fireworks crackle and pop, loud booming noises followed by hundreds of sparks in the sky.
You scoff, ripping out the soft grass around you with your fingers and reattaching the strands, practicing with your powers, manipulating and “healing” the organic material, something new you were trying to master. Rainbows of colors light up Yoongi’s face. “Oh yeah? What made you come to that revelation?”
“Because,” he drapes his arm over your shoulder and leans in closer, knowing somewhere Namjoon was watching you. “We’re alike”
You laugh. “Oh, you also have feelings for our superhero?”
“I have people I love too, that I want to protect too, it’s safer for them if I keep my distance,” he says during a break in the display, when the night goes still and quiet again, “You did the right thing, letting him go.” After that night, to uncomplicate things, you decided you weren't going to ask for anything more from Namjoon, hopeful it would make your partnership easier.
“Great,” you sigh, leaning your head on Yoongi’s shoulder, resting your arm on his thigh. “We’re just a pair of lonely assholes.” The fireworks crackle again and colorful sparks fall down like rain, painting the night sky in dazzling light.
Yoongi smiles and holds your hand. You raise your eyebrows at him, “Why aren’t you kissing me?”
He scoffs, “You okay with that? With an audience?” You answer him with a kiss, pressing your body closer. He holds you while the fireworks around you explodes in flowers of light.
“Want to see something cool?” He whispers against your cheek, continuing to kiss you while his fingers play with yours, interlacing your hands together. “I’m gonna need a charge.” You feel his power pulling, energy flowing between your fingers. The loudest boom erupts from above, a firework exploding closer than the rest, making the crowd ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh.’
“Cute, but I’ll give you one better.” You use your powers to light a couple extra fireworks earlier than intended. The night sky illuminates with all the colors of the rainbows and the crowd cheers. You fall into a fit of giggles and Yoongi uses your distraction to pull you closer to him, tackling your body and laughing with you.
And poor Namjoon has to endure watching it all.

“Don't you think it's funny how he is the one up there? When we definitely are more powerful.”
You laugh at that. “Is that what you think?”
“You’ve never fought him, Jin. He does not give up,” Jungkook shudders.
“Hobi beat him!” Seokjin argues.
“It wasn’t easy,” Hoseok adds in a serious tone.
You bite your lip, “No, out of everyone, Joonie scares me the most.”
The start of the year meant a New Year ceremony from Mayor Kim. You watch Taehyung, surrounded by your new friends, as he gives RM a key to the city. It was a tradition now for the superhero, who was less than pleased it was Taehyung who stood opposite from him this year. Now that you were all back in the city, the agreement had dissolved. The crowd cheers loudly, unaware of their secret rivalry.
“You, scared?” Yoongi raises his eyebrow at you.
“She’s telling the truth,” Jin adds. “Can’t believe it,” he mutters.
“His heart is too big, he holds his power back, and that makes him the strongest. If you think I am the one holding back, you have no idea, because if Joon didn’t hold back, if he fought with all his strength...” You smile, “RM would be unstoppable, trust me.”
The group falls into uncomfortable silence at your words. “If I wasn’t here, you would all be toast,” you say smuggly.
You watch from the crowd, catching his eyes. He sees you and the rest of your team, frowning. Yoongi places his arm on your shoulder possessively, and your heart clenches at the glare Namjoon sends you both. You turn away, hugging Yoongi, keeping your back to the stage so the superhero can’t see your face anymore.
“You really believe that?” Jungkook asks, standing behind Yoongi, watching Taehyung shake the superhero’s hand, fake smile offering congratulations to another fake smile.
“Yes, I do.” You swallow, listening to the cheers of the crowd. “I believe in RM.”
---
I have my opinions on him, but I want to know, do you want RM to change or do you think it’s better that he stays “good” and y/n should be the one to change?? In the meantime, Yoongi and y/n are cute, right? Do you think Yoongi is the person who y/n needs right now or is he just manipulative? Dying to see another pair?
