___________________________________________________
The summer is hot in Seoul, even at night. Racing through blackened back streets in a jeep, the wind is a welcome relief. Baekhyun's hands are tight on the wheel, controlling the vehicle like a professional would. Chanyeol is at his side, fighting to keep the strands of hair that fell from his ponytail out of his face by tucking them beneath the slender headset he wears.
A crackling voice sounds off through the headset, interrupted so heavily by static that Chanyeol can only respond with a very short, "What?"
"I said-- you-- -- -- me!!"
Now, at least Chanyeol can make out that the voice is unhappy. He does wonder if it's only because of the bad reception though. "We need cell phones.. instead of this radio thing."
Baekhyun looks to be more amused than bothered by the apparently failing conversation, "What's he saying?"
Chanyeol responds with a very convincing impression of the white noise.
"It's okay," Baekhyun says through a short laugh, "As long as he didn't get too far from where he said he was last.."
Kai knocks his headset down to rest around his neck, giving a short but clearly frustrated sigh. He doesn't have the cool wind to block him from the heat, and tracking a single red force has never been so exhausting. She's moving fast, much faster than expected.
Heels click loudly from somewhere near. He just catches a glimpse of her feminine figure before he disappears in a black cloud of smoke. He appears again from a safe distance, on top of a high building, staring down from there at the sidewalk below. Just as he thought, if she was walking much faster, her legs would be a blur beneath her. She's not just any red force. She's had a power up.
To make matters worse, he can see cars passing by on the next street, as well as a small group of people on their way towards an even more populated area. When he looks back at the red force, it's easy to tell she's noticed movement ahead and she's picking up her pace, surely aiming to make those humans her victims.
As he feared, he'll have to make contact. First, he lifts the tiny mic that hangs on his headset, speaking into it once. "If you can hear me, I'm about to do your job."
He can hear a faint "What?" from the speakers around his neck, and again sighs.
He teleports, another black cloud left behind as he reappears on the street below, just behind the red force woman. Unfortunately, she's ready for him. As he reaches towards her, she spins around to face him, shoving hands aimed at his chest.
Kai stumbles back from the force. The strength is a step above what he's used to from her kind. Even so, he's quick to react, a fist swinging mercilessly for the woman's pretty face. It's a hit that misses when she ducks down. She's fast. He's faster.
As she tries to shove again, her hands meet smoke. It's disorienting enough that finally she's caught off guard when Kai grabs hold of her from behind and throws her away with all of his strength. Even he's shocked to see her collide with the hood of a speeding jeep.
Baekhyun applies the brakes, coming to a screeching halt. The woman bounces off the hood limply, but hasn't even hit the ground by the time Chanyeol jumps out of the car, abandoning the headset he wore in the seat. He tosses a look towards Kai to shout, "Hey! Nice throw!"
Kai drops to sit on the sidewalk, looking tired, yet watching attentively as Chanyeol rounds the car.
The woman lies on the road, glowing red eyes shining at Chanyeol.
Chanyeol's fingers wiggle and a small flame appears in his hand. His unearthly deep voice is calm and patient when he speaks to her. "So, are you going to say anything useful or..."
She's bouncing up towards him and he's fast to react. The flame in his palm leaps forward onto her, growing to consume her entire body in a flash. Yet soon, both she and the flames are gone, leaving behind red smoke.
Zelo is still blinking at the space on the opposite roof where Kai was, seeming impressed.
"What the fuck are they?" Bang lays on his stomach, watching the group on the street through a pair of high-tech binoculars, their bluish lenses the only thing visible from the ground. He's revved up after watching the fight, a twitch away from jumping down to take them on, just to see if he can.
"Not human, that's for sure." Himchan seems lazy by comparison, chin resting on his folded hands as he casually watches the aliens below. "And they seem so.. energetic." He smiles to himself, as if it were a brilliant joke. Bang lowers the binoculars to glare at him, unamused.
Zelo straddles Bang's back as he sits, leaning over to look at the group himself. "They're superheroes," Zelo explains.
"They're not superheroes." Bang lifts the binoculars again, not seeming to mind his new accessory.
"Then I don't know what they are," Zelo admits. "I know what she was," he tries.
"Red force," Bang cuts him off. "We fought them off of our planet before the power failure. Looks like they've moved on to this one."
"So they're killing red forces," Himchan summarizes. "They couldn't be superhumans..?"
"There's no such thing as superhumans or superheroes." Bang huffs, pushing at Zelo with his shoulder. "Get off me."
Zelo gets up, letting Bang get to his feet.
"What are you doing?" Himchan sits up, seeming startled.
"I'm going down there." Bang smirks, turning to head back for the stairs.
Himchan chases after him, "Wait a second!"
Zelo smiles, following them.
Baekhyun runs around the jeep now that it's situated against the sidewalk, checking the hood for damage. He sounds rightfully upset when he announces, "Oh dent. Big dent."
"Yeah, but one more down." Chanyeol returned to the seat of the jeep in order to fix his hair, pulling it up in a neater version of his ponytail before, which still manages to look messy. He doesn't spend any time perfecting it, but hops out of the jeep again to walk towards Kai. "You okay?"
"You caught up faster than I expected," Kai says, if a bit unenthusiastically. He's back to his usual self anyway, seeming on the verge of falling asleep. He does look pathetically hot, sweating visibly.
Chanyeol kneels next to him, swiping his own hand caringly over Kai's forehead to swipe some of that sweat away. "Well that's because Baekhyun is a badass behind the wheel." He grins.
Baekhyun grins too, still a distance away from the two as he lingers by the jeep, looking for something in the seat. "Kind of. Yep. I am."
"She wasn't like the others," Kai says more seriously, "She had combined."
Chanyeol becomes instantly more serious, "Already..?"
Back to ground level, Bang passes the binoculars off to Zelo and begins confidently striding toward the group and their jeep. Zelo tries to follow after him, but Himchan pulls him back by his arm.
"Ah-ah. We're backup."
Zelo scowls.
"Hey," Bang calls as he steps closer, "Who the fuck are you?"
The three look towards Bang with some alarm. Baekhyun hurriedly moves closer to the other two and asks under his breath, "Did he see something?"
Chanyeol doesn't answer Baekhyun, looking steadily at Bang. He rises to his feet feet, forcing confusion. "Who, us?"
"Yeah, you." Bang stops a few feet away from Chanyeol, crossing his arms. "Where do you come from? What are you orders?"
"From Seoul," Chanyeol says confidently.
Baekhyun puts on a grin, copying the feigned ignorance. "And I'll have a large with pepperoni?"
"Don't fuck with me." Bang glares at them, unamused.
Baekhyun's grin is replaced with an immediate pout and he turns towards Chanyeol to quietly ask, "He's not one of them, right?" He should already know. Red forces are all red eyed, while Bang's eyes are clearly as dark as the rest of theirs.
Kai speaks up then, more awake as he looks curiously up at Bang. "On Earth, you say who you are before you ask who someone else is."
"I'm not from here." Bang smirks, challenging. "Accommodate me."
Kai raises a brow and gets to his feet, obviously more interested. “We’re not from here either. We came to purify red forces and restore our planet.”
“Where are you from?” Bang seems impatient, like he wouldn’t ask again if they dodged it.
“A galaxy far far away,” Chanyeol says as easily as a joke.
“E-X-O.” Kai confirms.
“Never heard of it.” Bang‘s unimpressed. “You must be pretty weak if you let the red forces take you over.”
At once, they all glare at Bang.
“Our world was awesome,” Baekhyun tells him, “Super awesome.”
“Was,” Bang repeats, not spitefully, just reminding Baekhyun of what he himself just said. “I’m from B1A4AP224, or maybe you know it as B-A-P.”
The planet has a far-reaching reputation as a warrior planet and it’s people as ruthless enemies, but invaluable allies.
“Never heard of it,” Kai says calmly, hiding the spite.
Chanyeol looks back at him, but it’s too late to stop him from saying it. Instead he sighs and looks quickly back at Bang. “Why are you here?”
“Reconnaissance.” Bang snickers silently, “It’s boring.” He looks at Kai, smirking cockily. “I was gonna offer to help, but if you’ve never heard of us, guess it wouldn’t make a difference.”
“Erm,” Chanyeol scratches his ear, looking awkwardly at Kai. His pride is a bit hurt too, but certainly he’s interested in an ally. More importantly, he knows that the leader, Suho, would be as well - especially if that would-be ally has dealt with red forces before. “He’s just tired. We’ve heard of you.”
Baekhyun steps a little closer, looking intensely at Bang. “Help wouldn’t hurt..”
Bang grins. “Let’s make this happen.” He glances back behind him and Zelo immediately runs over, binoculars bouncing around his neck.
“Yo~” Zelo greets, raising a stiff hand with a grin.
Himchan is much slower to join them, still not caught up by the time Bang speaks again.
“We kill some red forces for you, and you give us a place to crash.” He smirks.
Zelo crosses his arms as well, copying Bang’s smirk.
Himchan pauses next to them, sighing.
“That’s easy,” Baekhyun smiles.
Chanyeol looks around, “How many of you are there?”
“Three,” Himchan answers quickly. “We just need something.. temporarily. Our ship is out of power.”
“Our place is a little bit outside of the city,” Chanyeol explains, “And I can’t say for sure it’ll be a comfortable fit, but if our leader is okay with it, you’re welcome there.”
“I’ll ask him.” Kai promptly disappears.
“Temporarily,” Bang reiterates. It’s clear that he doesn’t like asking.
Zelo lowers his arms, seeming relieved, he smiles at Himchan. “Power~”
Himchan pats him on the shoulder. “Power.”
Chanyeol looks questioningly at Bang. “Are you the leader?”
Bang nods. “Bang.” He points with his thumb. “Zelo.” He flips his hand, pointing with his forefinger. “Himchan.”
“Pleasure.” Himchan snickers.
Zelo raises his hand stiffly again.
“Oh, I’m Chanyeol.” He gestures next to him. “That’s Baekhyun. Then there was Kai...” He stares at the empty place by his side.
"Kai teleports," Baekhyun explains.
With perfect timing, Kai reappears, looking carefully at Bang. "He's excited to meet you."
"Great," Baekhyun grins, "So we'll give you a ride." Looking towards the jeep, he questions, "We can all fit, right?"
Himchan nods at it, "This is fine."
“I can drive.” Bang raises his hand, grinning.
Baekhyun frowns, looking uncomfortable. “Someone else? Drive?”
Chanyeol frowns at him, “He’s the leader.”
“Yeah, you can drive, okay.” Baekhyun’s smile seems forced.
Bang holds his hand out, still grinning. “Keys.”
