✦・twenty two╭╯

"Who are you?" One of the kidnappers asked Jimin. The girl's voice could be barely heard over the platter of the rain overhead.

"It doesn't matter. I'm here for a reason." Jimin smiled. The pearly white mist dancing in his wake. Surrounding him, giving him a god-like aura.

The squad of kidnappers had frozen in front of him. They were trying to process what was happening. It wasn't normal to see someone produce white mist and have perfect control over it.

"You are here to get him, aren't you?" a blonde out of them asked. He was referring to J-Hope. "We won't let you take him."

The rest of his team nodded in approval. It was five of them against Jimin. He had powers unlike any of them, which he was going to use to his advantage.

They were four boys and one girl. All of them looked in their 20s. The boys were tall and well built. Muscles ripping out of their arms and chest. The girl wasn't tall compared to the boys but was tough and well built with muscles. All of them looked professionally trained.

"Surrender while you have the chance. We are armed, unlike you.'

Jimin sighed as they removed their guns and pointed it at him. He was confident he could heal himself if shot. The chances of them shooting him were high, they were trained to do it. He couldn't kill them. He would not take part in a cold-blooded murder. He racked his brain for a plan.

He could disarm them and then knock them out. Suddenly, he was happy that Night had brought chloroform with her. It was going to be very useful.

The warehouse was hollow and empty, making it easy for sound to travel. Jimin could hear footsteps of what was happening above him. If he called out for Night she would hear him and come down to help him.

"I don't want to hurt you." said Jimin, sincerely.

"We don't care." was the reply he got. He accepted defeat. They weren't going to be rational with him, and he had to take them down by force.

White mist surrounding him was still lingering around, slowly disappearing. He summoned some more. The mist moved forward and blinded his opponents. This wreaked havoc. They yelped on being not able to see.

Jimin moved his hands, directing the mist. It wrapped itself around their guns and snatched them out of their hands. He threw the guns down the stairs. Far away for the kidnappers to reach. He focused back on them. The mist taking the shape of a hand grabbing his opponents, making sure they can't escape.

"Vanilla." Jimin yelled on top of his lungs. Sweat trickled down his face, and he was growing tired. He won't be able to hold off those five for long. "Come down with the bottle of chloroform."

There was no reply from Night, but he heard footsteps. Relief washed over him. Night was coming down to help him.

"You called?" Night said, coming down the stairs, her ponytail bouncing happily behind her. She stopped on the last step, reading the room.

"Did you get the chloroform?" Jimin asked breathlessly. He left like he had run two kilometers.

Night smirked. "I'm surprised. You were the last person I imagined to do something wrong."

"Do you have it or not?" Jimin rolled his eyes.

"I do." She continued smirking.

Night walked forward, removing the bottle of liquid and a napkin. Jimin smiled, she had come prepared.

Night poured some chloroform on her napkin and moved behind the girl. She firmly placed the napkin on the girl's face. The girl tried protesting, but Night had a firm grip on her nose and mouth. In vain, the girl pulled her head back, hitting Night in the face.

Night's head fell back and her body followed her as she stumbled behind. "Ow." she pouted, rubbing her forehead.

"Are you ok?" Jimin asked. Concern filled in his voice.

Night smiled reassuringly at him and picked up the fallen napkin before placing it back on the girl's mouth and nose. After a minute, the girl lost consciousness.

Night ran and placed the napkin, which she had poured chloroform on again on a boy. She must have seen Jimin grow tired.

Jimin was trying his best to keep the kidnappers bound. Using his powers to such an extent had drained his energy. He continued holding them down while Night intoxicated them. He felt another drop of sweat run down his face and fall on the floor. It evaporated as soon as it touched the ground.

Night had knocked four when things went wrong. The blonde one managed to break Jimin's concentration and broke apart from the mist and ran towards Jimin before Night could stop him. The blondie was standing behind him, armed with a knife around Jimin's neck. Ready to slit his throat any second.

"One wrong move and I'll slit his throat." He told Night, who froze in front of them. Her eyes wide, she looked at Jimin. The blondie moved his knife closer to his throat. Jimin nervously gulped.

He looked at Night. She was standing in front of him with her fists clenched, not knowing what to do. He waited for her to look at him. She finally did.

I got this. He tried to tell her.

His hands were in between him and the blondie. He summoned a ball of light in each of his hands and blasted the blondie with minimal force. The blondie fell backward and hit his head on the wall behind him, instantly passing out.

Jimin fell on his knees. It had exhausted him. He saw Night crouch beside him.

"Are you ok?" she asked gently.

Jimin nodded. "Where's everyone?" He whispered. He took deep breaths, trying to regain his energy.

"Everyone's up, with J-Hope." said Night. She stood up and offered him her hand. Jimin held her soft hand, getting up. "Can you walk?"

"Yes." he said. He walked till the staircase shakily. His legs were wobbling with every step. He had exhausted himself. It was time to meet the great J-Hope.

-

"J-Hope?" Jungkook heard Taehyung say.

He ran to the door. Inside, indeed, was J-Hope. Jungkook's breath caught in his throat. He was standing in front of his idol. He didn't know how to react.

"Who are you two? I haven't seen you before?" J-hope said, frowning.

"I'm- I'm Kim Taehyung." Taehyung stuttered. Jungkook didn't blame him, he was sure he would stutter himself.

"I'm Jeon Jungkook." Jungkook introduced, surprising himself by not stuttering.

"Jungkook? Taehyung? Where are you both?" Yoongi called out.

"In the last room." Jungkook replied.

"Did you find him?" He questioned entering the dimly lit room. He stopped when he saw J-Hope.

J-Hope was sitting on his bed in the middle of the room, frowning at the three of them, "Why are you guys trying to find me?"

"So here's the thing, we are Phenomenal. We have powers and all-"

"Do you expect me to believe that?" J-Hope said, silencing Jungkook with a hand.

"Look, even I didn't believe what he's saying, but it's true." Yoongi said.

"Jungkook one of them is coming up." Zia tried to warn them from down.

She was late. One kidnapper came up and pointed a gun at J-Hope. "Don't move or I'll shoot him here."

"Go ahead." J-hope said with no emotion.

"But we're here to rescue you." Taehyung pouted, taking a step forward.

The kidnapper flicked his gun around and shot Taehyung in his left shoulder, just above his heart. Taehyung eyes grew wide as he fell back, the impact shaking his entire body. His shirt slowly soaking with the blood coming out of his bullet wound.

Jungkook could feel his blood pounding. He would not let Taehyung die. Taehyung was so excited to activate his powers, and he was going to make sure the former gets to activate them.

J-Hope was also staring intensely at the kidnapper. He looked scary. There was fire in his eyes. He clenched his jaw, getting up from the bed.

"Why did you hurt him?" He demanded.

Suddenly, the kidnapper's sleeve caught fire. The fire quickly spread from his sleeve and was burning his entire outfit. The kidnapper screamed his throat out, but Jungkook didn't move to help him. Instead he stood there, mercilessly watching him burn.

It was J-Hope who had set him ablaze. Maybe when the kidnaper shot Taehyung he remembered all the unpleasant things done to him, which activated his powers.

Taehyung was still hurt. Jungkook broke out of his trance and moved forward. He crouched down near Taehyung. Yoongi came down and sat beside him.

"It hurts." Taehyung told them. He had a small smile on his face. His eyes filled with pain. He was too young to die.

"You are not going to die. Jimin will heal you." Yoongi told him.

"Will he be okay?" J-Hope asked, coming beside them.

"Yes, he will be fine."

"Taehyung! What happened?" Zia asked as she entered the room. She was scared, seeing Taehyung lying on the floor covered in blood. Her eyes also caught the burning man. He had fallen on the floor, slowly burning to death.

" He shot me." Taehyung said in a feeble voice.

Zia sat down and took Taehyung's head in her lap and stroked his hair. Taehyung closed his eyes to the touch."Jimin will heal you. He'll come up when he has defeated those people down. Night has gone to help him, they'll be here quick." She sadly whispered.

"My grandma used to do that, when I couldn't sleep."

No one said anything. The only sounds were the screams of the kidnapper's, which slowly died down when the kidnapper dropped to the ground, dead.

"I killed him." J-Hope said, realisation hitting him. "And none of you tried to stop it."

Jungkook and Yoongi, both hung their heads in shame. Someone had died because of them. They could have saved him.

"We could have saved him." Jungkook finally admitted, guilt filling him.

"It's fine guys, everyone makes mistakes." Taehyung tried to reassure them.

"Killing someone is not a mistake." J-Hope said, eying the burnt corpse. Tears fell out of his eyes, but he did not wipe them.

No one said anything. Everyone stayed silent, mourning for the man they had just killed even if he wasn't worth it.

"How did he burn to death?" Night asked, appearing at the door. She was supporting a tired Jimin. Her eyes were at the burnt corpse. J-Hope's face gave her the answers she was looking for. "He activated his powers."

Yoongi nodded.

"Jimin, Taehyung needs you." Zia said.

Jimin and Night looked at Taehyung and gasped.

"How did it happen?" Jimin asked, his voice was weak.

"That man shot him." J-Hope spoke, bitterly.

Jimin looked tired, but he hovered his hands over Taehyung's wound. "Tae, it's going to hurt but I need you to stay still."

Taehyung nodded and closed his eyes, bracing himself. Jimin summoned white mist. It elegantly entered Taehyung's wound. Taehyung gasped, and Yoongi took his hand.

Jimin was slowly moving his hand above Taehyung's wound. Jimin's hand wavered for a second, making him lose concentration. The white mist disappeared and Jimin summoned someone. It came shooting out of his fingertips. Finally Jimin pulled the bullet out and a few tears escaped from the corners of Taehyung's eyes.

"It's fine, I'm almost done." Jimin reassured him. Carefully, Jimin placed his hands on Taehyung's chest. The bright mist shining against his palms as it healed Taehyung.

Jimin removed his hands when he was done healing Taehyung. Blood covered his palms. Jimin's eyes rolled up and fell forward.

"Jimin!" Jungkook said. It mesmerised everyone looking at Jimin heal Taehyung. "What happened to him?"

"He just used his powers too much. He needs to sleep." Night explained.

"Put him on the bed." J-Hope advised.

Jungkook easily picked Jimin up and carried him around to the bed, slowly laying him down.

Taehyung got up from Zia's lap and stood up, Zia following his suit.

"Will you be joining us?" Yoongi questioned J-Hope.

"I just killed someone. Why do you want me?" said J-Hope.

"I don't even use my powers, but I'm still here. This is a second chance to make things right. Don't give up on it." Night said, trying to convince J-Hope.

"If I do come with you, the media will recognise me. They follow me everywhere."

"You have activated your powers, no one from your old life remembers you now." Jungkook told him.

J-Hope looked at Jungkook, digesting his words. J-Hope was confused about what to do.

"What do you say?" Zia gently asked.

J-hope nodded.

"Let's go back. I'll take Jimin." said Jungkook, and everyone moved to the door.

J-Hope took one last glance at the burnt corpse and one last time. He turned around where a new beginning waited for him.
