"So you're electricity?" I say looking at Seungmin trying to see the tattoo behind his ear

"Sure" he says simply. "More of energy in general" he says driving us down random roads.

"I better not lose my job because of y'all" he says checking his mirrors regularly

"Where are we going" Minho says speaking up

"To a person who can help you" he says as we turn onto a relatively normal street in a normal suburban neighbourhood?

"I'm going to get my van back right" Sam says confused but no one says anything. He runs his hand through his hair shaking his head clearly very upset and I feel sorry for him, we definitely can't leave him now.

"Here" Seungmin says pulling into the driveway to a normal looking house before killing the engine

He opens the door and we all follow suit, quickly moving from the truck to the door, just in case they are still watching.

Seungmin knocks twice and we wait for a moment when suddenly the door swings open to an older lady, she looks like any other person? This is whose going to help us?

"We have a problem" Seungmin says and she immediately steps to the side and lets us enter, quickly shutting the door behind us.

It's a nice newer home with high ceilings and open layout. "Come" she says leading our group into the kitchen from the entrance, it opens up to a living room as well. I see an older man sitting in the living room on the couch, it must be her husband?

"Bill?" She says to him and he pauses the TV and turns to us, finally noticing that there are 6 strangers in his kitchen.

"Oh" he says getting up from the chair, walking towards us.

"I'll go upstairs and order some food" he says walking past us

"Thank you bill" the lady grins and he nods? What is this?

"Take a seat, get comfortable" The lady says motioning us to the living room

I walk with Hyunjin to the couch and he sits on the arm seat and I sit down beside him while Jisung and Minho take the other couch. Seungmin and Sam decided to sit down beside the lady.

"You are all special?" She says looking around the room

"I'm not" Sam says speaking up and she nods

"He saw" Seungmin says and she nods again

"Explain what's happening here" she says confused

"They found me at work, they are the original 4, we destroyed the trackers" Seungmin says and she looks at us shocked

"You escaped?" She says looking at us

"Yes" Minho says answering for us

"How" she seems shocked

"Built a tunnel and bent metal bars then ran tell we found Sam" Jisung says speaking up

"Fascinating" she says "whose who"

"Hyunjin is fire. Minho is air. Jisung is water. And I'm Earth" I say answering the question while pointing to everyone

"Felix" Jisung says adding my name in and the lady nods

"Who are you?" Hyunjin asks the question we've all been sitting on

"I'm Alice, I was Ice until I was 42" she says

"Until you were 42?" I say confused

"Our powers find a new host every 21 years" Jisung says answering the question

"Yes" Alice says in agreement

"I found Seungmin here from his tattoo in an online form, he noticed it appeared and didn't know what was happening and I helped him" she says and smith nods

"There's more of you" she says simply a lot more"

"Where" Hyunjin says quickly

"They reside in Hawaii in a private tribe, they haven't had the main 4 in years" she says happily

"We need to get you all there, now more than ever" she says

"Why isn't Seungmin there" Minho says suspiciously

"Working to afford the plane ticket" he says simply. "I only found out a month ago. I've been learning as much as I can to catch up"

"We don't have passports" Jisung says immediately, plus we'll get flagged at the airport

"I will reach out to the tribe, if they know we have you 4 they will get you there" Alice says and suddenly the doorbell rings?

"Foods here" Bill says from upstairs as he walks down to the door.

We gather in the kitchen as Bill brings pizza in and drops it off on the table.

"Powers?" He asks Alice and she nods, he scans us once before smiling and grabbing plates.

"This one is dairy free, if anyone's lactose intolerant" Alice says to us taking one off the top and I've never been more happy to hear those words, thank god.

I grab a slice and Alice smiles

"You too?" She says

"Vegan" I say and she nods

We eat in the kitchen and continue to talk about our journey, finishing up and sitting around as the sun goes down outside.

"Well there are rooms and couches downstairs, you are welcome to stay here" Alice says and we thank her immediately

"Show me your powers guys seriously" Sam says now annoyed that all we've done is talk about them but not show them

"Fine" I say agreeing, it's the least we can do.

"Here" I say before grabbing his hand and laying it flat out on the table.

I concentrate as vines start to grow intertwining his fingers and palm and his face lights up.

"Holy shit" he grins and laughs

"Jisung" I say looking at him and he nods.

Suddenly drops of water appear over his hand falling down onto the vines.

"Minho" Jisung say and he grins and seconds later a gust of wind rips through the house and blows him back in his chair. If he didn't grip the table he would've fallen over, Sam laughs hysterically.

Alice claps in excitement watching us and Bill laughs, I never thought about what would happen to me after I lost my powers? I don't want to. What would they have done with me when I no longer had powers at the testing prison? I wonder where they are and if they know where we are?

"Hyunjin" I say now. "And be careful"

Hyunjin grins before looking back at Sam as the vines wilt and burn up on his hand falling to ash on the table.

"Fucking awesome" Sam says mind blown and we all laugh.

"Seungmin?" Jisung says looking over at him and he grins.

Seconds later a bolt of electricity shocks Sam as he flinches his hand back off the table and we all laugh.

"I feel so weak now" Sam says and Alice and Bill agree.

"Well it is already after dark" Alice says simply "we're going to go to bed but you're welcome to the food and downstairs, there's a tv down there" she says and we nod.

They walk to the stairs before leaving us alone, literally the sweetest lady I feel like we should thank her too but how would we.
