"How are we going to do this?"

Hoseok's voice peeped from the back. Taehyung walked ahead, out onto the vacant open street. No one was nearby as civilians had been asked to stay at home. Hoseok had his eyes big, looking a bit nervous. It wasn't wrong for him to ask such a question. They had sort of just left campus with no guidance.

"Yeah. Uh. What's the plan?" Namjoon asked.

"There is no plan. We go in. We attack. We get Jungkook back." Yoongi said.

"Terrible plan." Jin muttered.

"Seriously? We're just going on a whim here? We don't even know if Jungkook's going to be there. We don't know where the villain took him! Maybe we should call the authorities. They'll get Miss Muscle, and- and-"

"Shut UP Jimin. Damn. Yapping for no reason. Loud ass bitch." Taehyung snapped. Jimin frowned, tensing. The boys looked at Taehyung nervously.

"Tae, Jimin's right. We have no clue what we're doing. We could get hurt, you know. I want to help Jungkook, but we have to look out for ourselves-"

"Great idea, Namjoon. Remember that when you become an actual superhero. Every time there's danger, be a pussy and don't face it. Look out for yourself. Yeah. That'll take you places." Yoongi said sarcastically, and Namjoon frowned.

"If you guys don't want to come then it's fine. I don't want to put you in harm. But-but we owe it to Jungkook to help, okay? You guys are assholes to-" Taehyung stopped mid-sentence, and then gulped. "We're all assholes to him. We all forget he's a person with feelings sometimes, and the shit we say and do hurt him."

The boys all side glanced at Jimin, who was picking on his fingernails, lips pursed. When Jimin noticed them looking, he stopped. "Oh sorry, were you saying something?"

"....Anyways. I agree with Taehyung. Even I'm an asshole to him sometimes because I've conditioned myself to believe Jungkook's fine being on his own. He might pretend he is, but he isn't. And if it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure the authorities are in on it already. They've been broadcasting about this villain for ages." Jin said.

Taehyung nodded, and then began walking, Yoongi beside him. "Do you actually have no plan?" Yoongi asked Taehyung.

"Of course I do. We go in. We attack. We get Jungkook back." Taehyung said simply. Yoongi smirked.

"Maybe I don't hate you anymore." Yoongi said, and Taehyung snickered.

The rest of the boys caught up with them. Namjoon sighed after a bit of walking. "It's terrifying."

"What is?" Jin asked.

"Like the idea that we're all people considered to be strong. That's why we got accepted into such a prestigious college. Yet, there are some people in this world that-that are way too strong... it's unsettling. Miss Muscle, Xeerus, the mind controller," Namjoon looked at Taehyung. "You."

Taehyung stilled for a second. "Why is there only a few people in the world that are this strong? How is it? And- and if they end up doing bad things like the mind controller and Xeerus then... shouldn't we stop them?" Namjoon said faintly, looking away.

"Who cares, Namjoon? Having more strength or more traits doesn't make them any stronger than us. Shut the fuck up," Yoongi grumbled, and Namjoon looked a bit taken aback by his brash answer. Yoongi continued walking, clenching his fists.

It wasn't the right time to be thinking about what Namjoon said, not now. They continued walking, but then Hoseok stopped in his steps. "Okay, fuck- fine. I'll help. I can't just no help Jungkook out because I'm scared or whatever." Hoseok mumbled. The boys all looked at him in confusion.

Hoseok reached his arm out. "Grab onto me."

The boys all stretched their hands out and grabbed hold of Hoseok, whether it be his jacket, his shirt, his arm, his shoulder. Hoseok looked back to see if everyone was holding onto him, and then tsked when he saw Yoongi.

Hoseok opened his palm out. Yoongi bit the inside of his cheek and laced their fingers together.

"We're gonna go really fast." Hoseok mumbled, looking the other direction. "I just- just need a general direction and place of where it is. I'll figure out the rest on my own."

Right, Hoseok had superspeed.

"It's in the outskirts. You know that old business park full of factories that got shut down few years ago?" Jimin asked. Hoseok nodded.

Hoseok then surged forward. Taehyung closed his eyes. He felt the wind rushing past him, felt the world moving around him, felt time pass by in a second. He opened his eyes. They were at the warehouse.

"Holy fuck." Hoseok let out as the boys left him. "Shit. I've never done that with people before. It- it worked. I didn't think it'd work."

"You're awesome, Hobi. Seriously. This kind of feature will be so useful during rescue missions, and-" Jimin began, giddily, a smile on his face. Hoseok nodded, but then turned his head.

"Yoongi? You can let go of my hand now," Hoseok chuckled softly. Yoongi looked at him with slightly bigger eyes, realizing he'd still been holding on this entire time.

"R-right." Yoongi uncurled his hand and brought it back. The boy looked away, clearing his throat. Hoseok smiled gingerly.

Hoseok then turned back. "Sorry, Jimin, you were saying something?"

"Nevermind," Jimin mumbled, looking away.

"No time for all of your nonsense. I think I see some people." Taehyung hissed, and then rushed forward to hide behind a tree. The boys followed, hiding behind the trees. Past the woods, they could see a big warehouse.

Two men stood outside. One had spikes coming out of his body, his skin green. The other man was lanky, tall, but he had white eyes.

"Most of these villains," Jin began, hushed. "They were shunned from society for being too different, too 'weird'. That's what pushes them towards crime."

"Yeah," Namjoon said. "Surely Jungkook is inside the warehouse since those two men standing outside were villains shown working for the mind controller dude. Here's what we do. We set up a distraction. Maybe fireworks. We make them come to the woods. Then, two of us sneak up to the door, bust it open, and then, we-"

Yoongi stood up from his spot, aimed his hands forward, and blasted two fireballs straight at the guys.

"Yoongi!" Namjoon shouted in surprise. "What the hell??!"

"We don't have time." Yoongi growled, and Taehyung stood up as well. The two men standing by the door shouted at whoever it was to 'show themselves'. Taehyung reached his hands out and electrocuted both of them.

They both collapsed to the ground, their skin charring. Taehyung and Yoongi ran towards the metal doors of the warehouse. The other boys got up and rushed after them nervously.

"Don't do that-! We'll get caught! There's probably more bad guys in there!" Jin snapped, pointing into the warehouse.

"We'll be fine." Taehyung said, but oh man did he speak too fast.

Because the doors of the warehouse burst and a bunch of more baddies ran out- and not the Instagram type, rather; the type that would fucking kill you.

They all had different mutations and abilities, whether it be sucking blood or having 8 arms. Numerous of these villains rushed towards with anger, ready to attack. Taehyung brought his hands out, forgetting his fear for a second to focus on fighting them back- but, with a sift motion, all of the 15 bad guys stopped.

They all stopped in their steps and began looking dazed, like their head was spinning, like their body was moving out of control.

"What- what is happening-?" Taehyung began, but then looked to the side and widened his eyes. Namjoon had his hands out, some sort of purple fire trickling out of his fingers. His trait was illusion manipulation. He was making all those men see some weird shit to make them feel crazy.

"Run past them." Namjoon said, eyes closed, throat dry. "I-I can't hold them any longer-"

"Joon we can't leave you here," Jimin said, and Namjoon shook his head, his arms beginning to tremble.

"Fuck's sake- just- just go inside! Go f-find Jungkook. I'll be fine." Namjoon shouted, and Taehyung nodded curtly, letting go of the anxiousness which was beginning to form at the pit of his stomach. Taehyung and Yoongi ran into the warehouse, Hoseok, Jin and Jimin following.

"Lock the warehouse doors so those guys can't get back in!" Yoongi said, and Hoseok speedily rushed to the side to pull a lever pushing the metal doors together. The door began closing a bit, but when there was a little gap left, they heard a shout from Namjoon.

"Fuck." Jin. "We- we can't leave him outside! He'll get hurt. He'll really weak right now. I-" Jin looked at them. "I'm sorry, Tae." Jin said softly. "But I can't let him get hurt,"

"Help him." Taehyung said with a nod, and Jin nodded and then ran out of the gates, between the gap.

Jin rushed outside, took a deep breath, and then made 50 copies of himself. It was hurting every muscle of his body to move around, to have all of his copies beat up all those warehouse guys who were conscious again. It made his mind flurry with a thousand thoughts and his throat close up.

"Jin," Namjoon said faintly, on the floor, his eyes looking grey. "Y-you should go help them, not me."

"Shut up." All 50 Jin's shouted. Namjoon tsked, shaking his head with a weak chuckle.

Jin beat the shit out of all the warehouse people, some of his copies getting stabbed, punched, or burnt in the process. And though his real self only received a small fraction of that pain, it still hurt when it was all together.

Finally, the 15 bad guys were down on the floor. Taehyung's electrocution must've messed with the clouds because it started raining down on the ground. Jin rushed up to Namjoon.

"Are you okay?" Jin asked, crouching down in front of the boy.

"Are you okay?" Namjoon asked back, and Jin smiled a little.

"That was pretty badass of us," Jin said with a giggle. Namjoon giggled as well, shy. "Hell yeah, it was."

They both stopped when they heard a cry from the inside that sounded like one of the boys. They both looked at each other in panic.

"Should we go in?" Namjoon asked. Jin shook his head. "We can't. Those metal doors only open from the inside, there's no way we can open it from out here."

"Shit. What do we do then?" Namjoon asked, and Jin looked away.

There was a small silence, and then; "I think we need to get Miss Muscle." Jin said faintly, and Namjoon nodded. They both got up hastily on their feet and ran away from the warehouse, back into the woods.

_____

When Jungkook opened his eyes, he found himself tied to something, on the hardwood dirty floor, with a rope around his mouth, around his wrists. He blinked his drooping eyes a couple of times, trying to adjust to what was around him.

Fear wracked his bones upon seeing so many villains in one place. He'd seen some on TV. They'd stolen, hijacked, murdered, and now kidnapped. What was their motive? Why did Jungkook have to get caught up in all this?

"He's awake." A girl said, standing on the side, flipping a knife over in her hands, smirking at Jungkook.

Everyone turned to look at Jungkook, who wishes he never opened his eyes. Jungkook saw a burly, buffed man walking towards him, teeth sharp. He reached down and gripped onto Jungkook's hair with his claw and then tugged. Jungkook cried out in pain.

"He's pretty." A man said, dressed in a suit, a mask on his face. "I wish I could do things to him," The man licked his lips. Jungkook felt his hands beginning to tremble.

"You can't." Another man said, and Jungkook recognized that voice. It was that man who took him away. The mind controller. Jungkook saw him properly this time. With his slicked black hair and grey skin. Jungkook wondered if his skin really looked like that.

The man was tall, but maybe earlier Jungkook's vision had been manipulated. He looked more normal now than he did back there, wearing a purple coat and trousers, holding a double-edged knife in his hand. Jungkook felt nothing but utmost terror looking into his vacant black eyes.

 The buffed man who had his hand in Jungkook's hand reached his other hand down and began touching Jungkook's side reaching his hand lower. Jungkook whimpered into his gag, shaking his head, tears reaching his eyes.

"Stop that, Dane." The mind controller snapped, and Jungkook noticed how Dane instantly stopped and walked away, robotic. It was obvious the mind controller was controlling his actions.

Jungkook let his shoulders fall in relief at the fact that they wouldn't touch him like that. But then suddenly he felt his chin lift up involuntarily and noticed how much closer the mind controller was to him now.

"Don't be relaxed, Jungkook." The mind controller enunciated his name and smirked when Jungkook paled. "We're not gonna go easy on you. We're just waiting." The mind controller said, and then crouched down. "Waiting for them to show up."

Jungkook felt shivers down his spine. He tugged on his wrists, but the moment he did, he felt his mind go uncontrollably crazy once more, seeing sights he'd never seen, feared to. His body began transforming from one thing to another, from one person to another, and it hurt his mind and skin and self, but he couldn't stop it.

Jungkook muffled screams into the rope around his mouth, feeling his body jolt itself forward so his face was pressed against the dirty floor, his backside up higher. Jungkook bean shaking, screaming, tears rushing down his face from the pain in his mind.

"Doesn't this feel good," The mind controlled growled lowly. "Jeon Jungkook kneeling in front of me. How lovely."

Jungkook looked up, tears soaking the rope binding his lips. Who was he?

"Who am I? My my, you don't know much about mind control, do you doll? I know what you're thinking. And I know that you're scared. That you're terrified. That you're waiting for someone to come save you, aren't you?" The mind controller whispered.

Jungkook sniffled. The man smirked, cruel. "It'll be lovely to watch someone you love die by my hands, won't it?"

Jungkook felt tears rushing down his face, wanting to scream out no, but he couldn't. He tried closing his eyes, but the mind controller kept them open. Jungkook couldn't do anything. He could only pray that help was on its way.

Taehyung, Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi walked through hallways of what seemed like a vacant warehouse. Hoseok looked at Jimin. "Your dad owned this place?"

"Um, yeah. It was a manufacturing factory for the clothing company he owned. But it's not in use anymore, at least I thought it wasn't." Jimin said faintly.

"It's away from the city. It's a huge place. Hard to navigate. Great place to hide, really." Yoongi said.

"You could probably become a villain if you tried." Hoseok said to Yoongi with a snicker.

"Nah. This city's already fucked up. Why try to do dumb shit and be wrong when you can just be a good person." Yoongi replied.

"Where's this energy when Taehyung wears a sweater vest to lunch." Jimin said, and Yoongi laughed.

Taehyung stopped in his steps, and then instantly ducked and rushed to hide behind a column. The three boys followed his movement. Taehyung was in alert, finger to his lips, gesturing them to be quiet.

They heard voices of the bad guys.

"Oh, they'll be coming shortly to save him, don't worry." A voice came. It belonged to the mind controller. Taehyung's eyes widened. "And when they do, we'll fight back. It's simple, really."

"Guys," Jimin whispered. He was looking behind a wall, his face pale, eyes big. He could see the mind controller, all his workers, and Jungkook in the far end, tied to a pole. Taehyung rushed to see and cursed under his breath when he saw Jungkook.

The boy was shaking, crying, probably losing hope as every second passed. No, Taehyung had to do something. But it'd be far too risky to attack them like this. The mind controller was far stronger.

"Hobi, why don't you super speed untie Jungkook and get him, and- and then we'll run out!" Jimin whispered.

"Are you crazy, Jimin? They'll run after us and kill us!" Hoseok cried.

"Only if you're a pussy about it," Yoongi snapped.

"You do it then."

"I'm not the one with the super speed trait, genius!"

A loud gasp came, and all four boys turned and saw a girl there, probably working for the mind controller. She looked at them angrily. "Sir, we have some uninvited guests!" She growled and then threw her knife sharply at Taehyung.

Taehyung moved in time, but it still gave him a cut on his neck. Some more of the villains joined. There was a buff guy, a guy in a suit, and another girl with her mouth stitched shut. The buff guy walked towards Taehyung, cracking his knuckles.

Taehyung brought his hand out and shot him with fire. He looked around. Jimin was getting attacked by that girl with the knife, she could create knife blades from her hands, terrifying. Hoseok was fighting the girl with her mouth stitched who could teleport to places. Yoongi was fighting the guy in the suit who could poison people with his tongue.

 Taehyung got punched in the stomach. He fell back, groaning out. The fire had no effect on the big buff man it seems. Taehyung sat up quickly and began shooting sharp icicles at him, but he flicked them away like it was nothing and brought his hand out to punch Taehyung again.

Except he missed, his fist went straight through the floorboards. Taehyung got up quickly and rushed past him. He brought his hand back and then pushed it forward, making vines grow around the teleporting girl who was fighting against Hoseok. That made her stop and get stuck on the floors, annoyed.

Yoongi was fighting the poison tongue guy with ease, fighting him with fire, not caring that it hit his face directly and was getting him burnt. Jimin was shooting his energy blasts at the girl with the knives, dodging them swiftly.

"Taehyung," Jimin suddenly called out while Taehyung was fighting the big burly guy back with water. Taehyung looked at Jimin directly. "Go." Jimin whispered.

"What?" Taehyung called, and Jimin gulped.

"Y-you go get Jungkook. We-we'll fight these guys off." Jimin said. Taehyung stilled.

"He's right. Go get him and run out of here. We'll be fine." Yoongi said, and Taehyung gulped but nodded hesitantly.

"Please be safe." Taehyung said to them, and then turned and dashed right into the room Jungkook was held in. Taehyung saw the mind controller standing there, looking at Jungkook, who looked very weak, unable to move.

"Sir!" A man, one of his workers, shouted. "Miss Muscle has entered the warehouse!"

"She has?" The mind controller grinned, wide, evil. "Good. Amazing. Go hold her back while I hurt Jungkook further. But let her get here. I want to fight her myself."

The rest of the men ran out of the room, leaving just Jungkook, the mind controller, and Taehyung hiding behind a wall. Taehyung gulped when he saw the mind controller reach forward and dig his nails into Jungkook's neck. Jungkook cried out in pain.

"Stop!" Taehyung shouted. The mind controller didn't even turn to look, just stopped in his steps. Taehyung closed his eyes and reached his hand out, hitting the man with a giant rock.

The man tumbled down. Taehyung ran towards Jungkook.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung gripped his shoulders. Taehyung shook them, making the smaller boy open his eyes. Taehyung took the rope away from his mouth. "Fuck, Kookie, are-are you okay?"

"Tae, g-get- get out of here." Jungkook said, parched. His words were coming as a mumble, he could barely separate his lips. "H-he'll hurt you."

"That's okay." Taehyung whispered. "I can take it. But I can't let him hurt you,"

Jungkook's eyes almost slipped shut, but Taehyung jolted him with a light bit of electricity to get a little energy in him, to get the blood rushing in his veins. Taehyung saw Jungkook look at him properly now, but then Taehyung himself felt his mind getting seized.

It's like the walls of his brain began squeezing into themselves. Taehyung began screaming, pain filling his body, agony infuriating his mind. But with Taehyung's pain came more.

The entire room lit on fire. Taehyung continued shouting out in pain, rocks beginning to fall into the room through the roof, all formed by Taehyung.

"What the fuck," The mind controller said in awe. "I haven't seen this since Xeeruz,"

Taehyung was on the floor, and then reached his hand out and tried freezing the controller. But the controller stopped Taehyung before he could, and smiled instead. "You might be far more valuable to me, Taehyung." The man said, knowing his name already from reading his mind.

"T-Tae run! Please!" Jungkook shouted, a lump in the back of his throat.

Taehyung couldn't move. Barely anything happened when he tried to electrocute the mind controller. Everything hurt. His mind was throbbing. The mind controller snickered.

"Your poor damsel's in distress," The mind controller said. "Won't it be fun for him to watch you die like this?"

"No!" Jungkook shouted. "Stop! P-please! Hurt me, n-not him-" Jungkook cried. Taehyung's felt his stomach pang at his words.

The mind controller reached his hand down and wrapped it around Taehyung's neck. Taehyung couldn't do anything. There was a fire burning all around them. The mind controller pressed his sharp nails into Taehyung's neck. Jungkook began crying. Taehyung shouted in pain. It was as if everything was happening at once. No one could think. No one could breathe.

Until.

"Oh, you fucking bitch." A low voice came. Taehyung was instantly let go of. He felt in control of himself again and looked up, and then gasped when he saw Miss Muscle. Her hair was drenched, in her red superhero outfit as always.

"Finally, you're here." The mind controller said, smirking. "I've been waiting to see you again."

"Don't." Miss Muscle growled. "Don't you dare say a word. You fucking- you monster. These are kids!" She shouted, and Taehyung halted. He'd never seen her this emotional before. Not during a fight. Not ever.

It was odd. It made him realize she was human too, and she felt anger, sadness, fury. All of those.

"Kill me, then. In front of them." The mind controller grinned. "But you won't, would you?"

"I will." Miss Muscle said. She then walked forward and punched the man in the face with all her might. The mind controller felt flying out of the warehouse, cutting right through the wall and out. It was comical, yet terrifying. Because he definitely hadn't died yet. Not so soon. Not when he was still smirking as he got punched away.

Taehyung got up, seeing her panting heavily. Taehyung rushed towards Jungkook.

"Kid," Miss Muscle said, and Taehyung looked at her with wide eyes. She stood there, a look on her face Taehyung had never seen. "It's fine. You've done a lot, you can sit down."

"I-I just want to help my friend, ma'am," Taehyung said in a small voice.

"I know." Miss Muscle said. Taehyung gulped, stepping away. He saw Jungkook looking up at Miss Muscle.

Miss Muscle took two steps towards Jungkook and then fell to the floor in front of him, wrapping her arms around him. "O-oh, my baby," She whispered out, holding him close to her.

"Mom," Jungkook hugged her tightly, crying out onto her shoulder like a child. "I-I'm sorry, mom. I didn't kn-know-"

"It's okay, sweetheart. It's absolutely okay. You did enough." Miss Muscle whispered gently, patting his back.

Taehyung's mouth fell open, eyes growing widest. Miss Muscle was.... Jungkook's mother? Real biological mother- oh god, that's why Jungkook's eyes always seemed so familiar. Holy fucking shit. Holy fucking shit holy shit Jungkook was Miss Muscle's child.

Taehyung was losing his mind. He slumped against the wall, watching them hug. It was the weirdest thing. Taehyung's mouth was wide open.

"T-they hurt me." Jungkook sniffled. "And said they were gonna kill you."

"No one can kill me, you know that." Miss Muscle said, and Jungkook hummed, nodding.

"I haven't seen you for almost a year," Jungkook said gently, and she tucked his hair away. "Are you gonna come back home now mama?"

"We'll talk about all that, Kookie. Don't worry. Just relax for now, okay? You're fine." She kissed his forehead. Jungkook nodded, slumping onto her shoulder.

Miss Muscle then turned and looked at Taehyung, who was looking, feeling a bit crazy. Jungkook's head was tucked in her neck so he couldn't see. She brought her finger up to her lips as if telling him to never tell anyone. Taehyung just nodded and then saw Miss Muscle look away and kiss Jungkook's forehead again.
