Doom, Death, and Destruction (A Tale of Superpowered BTS)

Chapter 8

"Why should we trust you?" Yoongi spoke up and eyed the scientist uneasily. The scientist had been trying to egg the subjects out of the cell for half an hour but they weren't budging. Even Namjoon remained silent, looking conflicted.

  "The Major is planning on wiping all of my research and giving it to another scientist. I want to make sure that doesn't happen." Siwon adjusted his lab coat and stared them all down. "That includes removing your presence from this area. I have a way to get to an asylum for mutants. There I will be able to continue my research and work within my ethical bounds."

  "You're pretending you didn't decide to torture us on your own." Seokjin said as he stood up.

  "I have all the research I need from those endeavours." Siwon entered in his code then swiped his key card, opening the cells. "Besides, i have two young men that need your help. It seems there are some late maturing mutants here." His expression twisted into one of contempt.

  "It worked." Namjoon breathed out, his eyes widening. "It really worked?" He left the cell as fast as he could, in full disbelief from what he had heard.

  "It did. So we need to leave now." Siwon nodded stiffly and Namjoon nodded.

  "Okay, I'll get them ready."

  "You won't do anything." Hoseok snarled. His hands sparked with electricity as his weary eyes stared the two men down.

  "We are leaving. He is going to take us to an asylum for mutants, then we can split ways. That easy." Namjoon said. His stature straightened as he stared subject one down confidently. "Siwon was working to make a serum to create mutants. He just used on someone and we need to get them to safety and help them survive that."

  "We shouldn't just leave them for a life like ours." Jungkook whispered to them. He bit his swollen lips, not stopping even when he tasted blood.

  "Just because we saved his life doesn't mean he is one of us." Yoongi glared at Namjoon. "We don't have to listen to him or that bastard."

  "I am going." Seokjin reluctantly walked out of his cell. "What do we have to lose anyways. There is nothing left in our life but sitting in these dank rooms and letting our lives be sucked out. Even if he's lying, we can make our way out then leave him."

  "Fine." Hoseok reluctantly walked out, purposefully pushing Namjoon as he did. "Take us to your experiments." Siwon nodded and led them to the lab. The five knew their way so he wasn't doing much, their feet were well used to following the path set for them.

  Namjoon cursed when he saw two familiar bodies on the ground. He bolted for them and almost slid into them. His anger was flooding through his body setting his very soul aflame with indignant frustration. "Why them!" He felt Taehyung's forehead, staring worriedly at his unfocused cousin. He could hear his cousin muttering but nothing made sense to him. He checked Jimin out and sighed in relief when lucid eyes met his.

  "Have any drugs?" Jimin mumbled his fingers curled in on themselves and he shuddered as his body groaned in protest at even a simple movement.

  "Give me a moment kid." Namjoon got up and went to the medication cupboard. He picked up every single container of pain meds. "Where is the bag?" He had barely finished talking before Siwon had passed him a backpack. Namjoon stuffed all the relevant medications he could in before he went of over to Jimin. "Alright, are you going to be able to swallow?"

  "I have to." Jimin mumbled. "Why does it hurt so much?"

  "That's a stupid question." Yoongi rolled his eyes and took the medications from Namjoon forcing them into Jimin's mouth. "Swallow it up. I don't want you holding us down."
