16| This can't be

"He's still not up?"

"No... He needs this rest though. Bunny's powers are not to joke with."

"This is a mess, we underestimated him."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows as he woke up from a long ass sleep and heard voices he wasn't familiar with.

"Oh my god, he wakes up!"

Confused, the boy opened his eyes, getting met with the view of three young boys looking down at him, with soft smiles, kind of comforting him.

"You are so pretty!" one of them exclaimed after a small while of silence, to which another hit him. "Jimin!"

Taehyung slowly sat up and looked around, stunned by the cave-like room. "Where am I?" he questioned, eyes still wandering around.

"The headquarters," the brunet guy who had scolded so called Jimin prior explained, which didn't help Taehyung at all though.

"Headquarters?" He questioned and a burning pain suddenly shoot through his head and he groaned lightly. One of the males that hadn't said anything yet, quickly ran away, coming back with a glass of water and painkillers. "Drink this and relax."

Taehyung thanked him and drank the water, before looking to all the males. "Who are you all?"

Giving him a warm smile, the brunet male began talking. "I am Seokjin, Jin as short and hyung for you. Guardian of water and the sea," he explained and Taehyung's eyes widened as he almost spat the water put again. "Y-you have superpowers?!"

"Yep, we all do! My name is Hoseok, J-Hope in disguise and my power is-" in the blink of an eye, he stood on the other side of the bed Taehyung was lying on. No, his power wasn't teleportation, like Taehyung's, his power was- "Superspeed."

Taehyung just stared at him with an open mouth, not believing what he was seeing.

The third boy then cleared his throat. "Hey, my name is Jimin and my power is elasticity." Taehyung's- still unbelieving- eyes rooted on Jimin's arm that suddenly doubled in length.

Seokjin saw Taehyung's weirded out and surprised expression and chuckled. "Did you think it were only Bunny and you that have some kinda powers?"

Hearing the familiar name of the person Taehyung dearly loves, but also hates made hsi tummy turn and he shortly remembers what happened before he fell unconscious. "B-Bunny... Where exactly am I and since when?"

"Well, these are the headquarters of us heroes and you've been unconscious for about... 2 days," Jimin explained.

"Two days?! How?"

"I'm not gonna tell him," Hoseok suddenly was gone and Jimin scratched the back of his head. "I think I'm gonna check up on him, so yeah, bye!" Jimin was also quickly gone and Seokjin sighed as he turned back to the clueless Taehyung.

"Then I'll tell you... Bunny has the strongest powers among all of us. Fire is just a medium to what his actual power is... Destruction."

Taehyung's eyes widened. "Wh-what?"

"Listen carefully now, I'm gonna explain... our powers, I guess.." Seokjin slowly adjusted in his seat. "Basically there's a reason we have these powers. They were given to all of us 7 at the same time-

"Seven? there are more?" Taehyung asked and Jin nodded. "I'll introduce them to you later. They were given to us at the same time, because we all suffered at the same time. It sounds dumb, but we all were picked and got rewarded with these powers for how we handled our miseries. Deaths, accidents, broken hearts or in your case for example seeing someone you love suffer.."

Taehyung looked at Seokjin with the same confused eyes with which he had looked at him the whole time. "Y-you know about it?" About what happened when Taehyung and Jeongguk were so young?

Seokjin nodded. "Bunny and you were the only ones who didn't get an invitation together with your masks in the packages, when we received our masks two years ago. We all did and gathered here together, learned about our powers, trained to use them and what not. We got assigned to keep our eyes on you two, because you two aren't completely done with the past and you had to figure it out together."

"B-Bunny and me? But I have moved on." Taehyung couldn't follow Seokjin at all.

The seemingly older male hummed. "You'll understand why, when the others are back and we'll tell you everything. But first, the reason you were unconscious... is because Bunny used his power on you. Look at your wrist."

Still dazed because of what he just got told, Taehyung slowly lifted his arm, eyes doubling in size when he sees a black capitalized 'B' on his skin. "Wh-what does that mean?"

"I don't think you know how much Bunny is in love with you." Taehyung's breath hitched. "And you turning your back at him must've hurt him so much that he finally reached his limit and his powers took over him, controlled him. Still do in fact. This B," he pointed to Taehyung's wrist, "as long as it doesn't fade, which might take a few hours or days, you won't be able to use your powers."

A gasp left the blond's lips and he quickly tried to teleport, but nothing happened. He looked back to his wrist, that was now shaking a little. "H-how?"

Jin sighed. "We're not sure, but we know Bunny wasn't and isn't in his right mind currently. His powers are leading him, not he himself and... He is destroying Seoul in every way possible."

Dizzy with all these new overwhelming informations and all these feelings running through Taehyung he slowly sat up. "Destroying? What is happening?"

"Well..." Seokjin took a remote and the panel that was against the stone wall got turn on. Taehyung watched with horror as he sees Seoul, completely destroyed, fire everywhere, people crying and running for their lives. "This can't be..."

Jin sighed, turning the video off. "It's not him acting, but his powers. We were aware that they were way to strong to be in possession of someone with so much wrath towards himself and people, which is why we kept an eye on him and let you take care of his actions."

"Why me?" Taehyung then asked, heart still beating wildly inside of him because of what he just saw.

"There's a simple explanation, but you'll probably be shocked as hell," Seokjin turned to the panel again. "We have profiles of all people with superpowers, which until now are you, Bunny, Jimin, Hoseok, me and two more, called Yoongi and Namjoon aka Suga and RM. We know your identities and also almost everything about your private relations and your past. The same goes with Bunny and it's probably easier to explain what is happening between him and you if you know his real identity."

Taehyung's heart picked up a fast pace, head spinning lightly. Bunny's real identity? He will find out who Bunny is and the thought about it scares him more than the fact that these people here know so much about him.

"I know this will probably be hard for you, I know about your liking towards him. And I also know about his liking towards Taehyung."

Seokjin pressed a button and suddenly seven profiles appeared on the panel. Taehyung read the names and saw the pictures of seven masked persons, two of them very familiar to him. Himself- Vante, with the purple mask- and Bunny, with the black mask.

"Once clicking on one of our profiles, our real identities will be displayed and much more," Jin explained and then gave Taehyung, who was staring at the screen in amazement, a sympathetic look. "I think I'll leave you alone now. Maybe you need time. Just press this button and Bunny's profile will be opened." He handed Taehyung the remote.

The blond boy just looked at the remote in his hands as Seokjin left the room.

Taehyung was scared, he has often questioned who Bunny might be, never thought that he would find it out though.

His thumb rested on the knob that will probably change his whole view on Bunny with one small press.

Eyes glued to the photo of Bunny, Taehyung took a last deep breath before he pressed down on the knob and revealed the person behind the black mask of his enemy.

And he instantly felt the world crumble down on him when he looked at the new photo of the person most dear to him. "J-Jeongguk..."
