Ever since the events leading the four boys together, they've been inseparable. They've formed a family.

They trained under Eden for years before it was decided that they were ready. Now they were something like superheroes. Fighting against the bad things in the world in order to protect the humans.

"Like Korean Avengers!" Mingi had said excitedly.

They were looked up to a lot by the humans that they saved. And they obviously attracted a lot of attention from the media, none of which they liked.

Who would like to walk around with cameras in their face the whole time?

The team stayed at a base in the heart of the city, right in the middle of everything. It made it a lot easier to reach threats on time.

Like the one they just got the alert for now.

"I need you guys in the meeting room, now, it's something big," Hongjoong's voice said over the speakers.

Mingi made his way to the meeting room from the kitchen. He sat down next to Hongjoong, who had a serious and concentrated look on his face.

"What's wrong, Joong?" he asked, watching the older boy carefully.

"I'm afraid our actions in the past have come back to haunt us," Hongjoong muttered, cryptically.

Mingi furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. But before he could ask any more questions, the other two team members arrived in the room.

San sat next to Mingi, and Yeosang next to San, leaving a lot of space in the large meeting room.

"What's the matter, Captain?" San asked.

"We received an alert about attacks in the city, but not just regular attacks. The attackers are witches."

Yeosang's eyes widened. "Witches? I thought we were the only ones known."

"Well, apparently the other four have come out of hiding, and they aren't on our side," he stood up, putting his tablet down. "It's time to go, this is urgent.

In a matter of minutes, the boys were on the plane ready to go. Hongjoong was busy tapping away at his iPad trying to figure out more about their targets.

"There's four of them," he mumbled. "Red, Green, Purple, Blue."

"I thought those two were dead," San said from his seat next to Yeosang.

Those two made Mingi feel single.

"We watched Jimin die," Yeosang said. "I thought Nayeon and Jihyo were murdered."

"Maybe they gave up their powers before they died," Mingi suggested.

"But Jimin had his powers when we fought him," San said, "I don't remember seeing anyone else there."

"Someone had to have been," Hongjoong muttered, still not looking up from the screen in his hands. "Okay, remember the powers, Red is the mind, Blue is death, Green is plants, and Purple is illusions, good luck."

"I thought purple was love," Yeosang frowned.

"The purple witch is supposed to represent love, but he's kinda like a siren, so be careful," San answered, smiling lovingly at his boyfriend.
