Just Us Three-But It Doesn't Have to Be

"If you are going off that logic, it is rather rare for fire to have any sort of combination." Yugyeom said, his voice half thoughtful. "I would say, incredibly so. Fire tends to be very volatile, even before the Government began to search for elemental users, and even before they hid themselves, Fire typically did not combine with other elements, and as I am sure you are more than aware, there is a reason that Fire split itself. The fact that they managed to have more than one fire user is very...shocking, to say the least." 

"Hey, Yug, I am curious, do you think that it is possible that they could relearn their elements alone?" YeonJun asked. Felix and Jisung both stared at the boy totally uncomprehending. YugYeom, at least for his part, tried to make sense of what the other was saying before stating that it made no sense. Eventually, he just sighed and leaned back onto the couch, lifting his head to watch YeonJun, glancing towards the other gang as though asking them to translate. He had no good trying to pick apart the other's words. YeonJun eventually seemed to realize what he said made no sense and huffed an embaressed laugh. "I meant, since Fire itself split into three, do you think it is possible for three people to learn how to use it as a whole once again?" The other three finally figured out what he was saying and everyone, even the BTS Hyungs, dropped into thinking about it. 

"I am not really sure," NamJoon finally spoke, startling them slightly. They had not expected him to actually answer the question, in fact they had not expected any of BangTan to bother listening and then trying to figure it out. "I am sure that it is possible, but...I am not really sure. It would not be easy that is for sure." He shook his head at the thoughts that were springing in his mind, wondering if it truly was possible. The element had been broken apart for so many years, and most of the time the ones who held it did not even live long enough to manage to think about learning how to control the other parts of the element, and many were too frightened of their ability to bother even trying. 

"It would not really matter if we think about it." Jin said, cutting through the thoughtful atmosphere that YeonJun had managed to create, he turned to look at everyone and sighed as they waited for his reasons. "Well, think about it. The element has been cut for so long, and even if they had not been, we dont HAVE three elemental users that use fire. Even if we did, most of them are doubles of each other, it is not exactly common to have three elemental users of Fire that have all three variations." Jin shook his head, pursing his lips. "But even if we did, I don't want to put them at risk like that. Especially considering the thought is just experimental. We are not experimenting on anyone." 

"Whoah, Jin Hyung," Felix said simply, raising his hands in surrendor as he stared at the eldest in BTS. "We never said we were going to...to experiment on anyone. It was just a thought. Rather careless one, we apologize. That was not what we meant." He said, glancing through to the other there before keeping his gaze fixed on Jin. "We would never experiment on them, ever, much less with such a dangerous element." 

"Good," Jin huffed, folding his arms and Yoongi just rolled his eyes and fixed the four of them with an apologetic look. 

"Jin is a bit protective of the runts." Yoongi said simply. Jin glared at him, hitting his shoulder leaving Yoongi to yelp. "I let you do that." He said with a pout. Jin rolled his eyes. 

"Hey, your magic doesn't even work properly around the kids, don't go talking like that."

"Wait...wait, wait, wait, what was that?" Yugyeom asked, suddenly leaning forwards and very interested. Jin cut a dark look towards him. "No, seriously, this could be very important, and you are the ones who want us to train them, it is very important that we understand what is going on." Felix nodded, looking incredibly serious. 

"It is, especially if we want to eliminate the potential risks that come with anything we may want to do to help teach them." Jin sighed at Felix's words but he did agree. He himself knew teaching was difficult, and that it was best to be over prepared than under-prepared. 

"Yoongi, his magic does not really work around the other three. As a matter of fact, neither does NamJoon's. When we met them in the Alley NamJoon used his magic against them but it had no effect." Yugyeom stared at them, his brain trying to wrap around that fact. 

"At all? Not even partially?" NamJoon shook his head. 

"It was the first time that my magic failed so thoroughly. I could not believe it." 

"Being honest, that was part of the reason that we decided to take them in." Hobi admitted. "Partially because it was obvious that they needed training, and also because we wanted to know what it was that kept our magic from working on them." Jisung huffed, of course that was part of the reason. The BangTan hyungs were not known for picking up stragglers for no reason after all. 

"Do you know if anyone's magic is like that when it is tried to be used against them?" Yugyeom continued to question. Hobi shrugged. 

"No, we don't, we just know that our powers don't work on them. We never bothered to test it, we did not want them getting suspicious." 

"Good, but also, that means that we are going to have to see if it is everyone's magic that fails against them, or just yours, and if it is everyone's, whether it is just one of them, or all of them that have that affect." 

"And how exactly do you plan to do that?" Jin uttered, beginning to get protective again. 

"Don't worry, it won't be harmful. I will make sure of that." Jisung said simply, staring Jin down resolutely. The latter reluctantly nodded.
