Exes and Superher-o's

Part 20

"Alright, so here's the plan," Namjoon says the next morning.

Everyone is seated around the same table, supers and handlers spread out on either side. First, are you and Seokjin, seated close enough for your thighs to touch. Next are Yoongi and Jungkook, followed by Zephyr and on her other side, Siobhan. Taehyung stands beside Namjoon, Roa is seated on his other side, and at the other end of the table are Hoseok and Rowan.

Katie didn't appear after breakfast, which you're trying not to focus on.

"ISA is planning to demonstrate their control serum this morning at 10:00 AM," Namjoon says, both hands on the table. "The original plan was for Yoongi and Seokjin to attend as themselves and find a way to let us in. Luckily, now we have Rowan."

On the other side, Rowan nods.

"Now," Namjoon continues, "Seokjin and Yoongi will attend the demonstration alone. The rest of us will infiltrate ISA's facility disguised as a cleaning crew. Our goal is to find and destroy the control serum."

"Sure." Jungkook pauses. "And how will we do that?"

"Yoongi's located the coordinates of where the serum is being held," Namjoon explains. "We'll infiltrate the facility, proceed to the storage room and destroy all existing containers. There are a few pain points with the mission, of course. First, Chameleon's powers only hold within a fifty-foot radius, so we'll need to remain in view at all times."

Seokjin frowns. "Won't that be hard?"

"At some point, ISA is going to realize they have an intruder." Namjoon shrugs. "Our disguises will hopefully get us through the door, but they're by no means foolproof. Which brings us to problem number two –"

"Problem number one was pretty big," you mutter.

"Number two." Namjoon continues as though you haven't spoken. "The serum is designed to be used as an inhalant, so there's a chance we could enter the facility only to come under the control of the drug itself."

Roa stares. "What?"

"Luckily, I've devised a solution to this." Reaching under the table, Namjoon pulls out a small, blue vial. "Yoongi managed to procure the serum's formula, which I've been studying, and I believe I've concocted an antidote."

Taehyung lets out a low whistle. "Wow, that was fast."

Namjoon's cheeks redden. "Knowledge absorption," he says as he pockets the vial. "Not that impressive. So, we'll each drink one of these vials before entering, and carry another just in case. This should provide us with relative immunity."

"Should?" Jungkook frowns. "Relative?"

Namjoon pauses, then nods. "I'm as sure as I can be on this. Which brings us to the final problem. We don't really know what's waiting for us inside the facility. All the made supers could be under ISA control. The serum might be protected in a safe. We'll need to stay alert, act fast and adapt quickly."

"Not to mention this won't solve the main problem," you add, growing concerned. "We need to tell the public about Operation Made. How can we do that without the serum or made supers?"

Yoongi raises his hand.

Namjoon nods.

"I've got the solution for that," Yoongi says, putting down his hand. "I've compiled a dossier with every detail I found on Operation Made. Program logistics, 'testing' logs, the full details of why they branded you and Jungkook as villains. It's all been saved on the cloud and is ready to be made public – with the click of a button, of course." Yoongi pauses. "Or, if I die."
