"Claims he's a prank king. Popular, likes ice cream, homophobic- what is this?" Taehyung slammed the file down onto his manager's table, slightly angry at the last piece of information.

Usually, Taehyung was timid, calm, quiet, and never really complained. So his manager knew he had every right to get angry when he was assigned a fucking purple.

"Taehyung, calm down. I know it's a lot to process but we've been keeping an eye on this kid since birth, and I've been training you since birth too. You know everything about protecting inside out and we need him to join this programme to help. We don't even need more than one. One of his kind is more than enough to control the whole Earth, and it's a shame he doesn't know what power he holds-"

"So what? You just want me to fucking be his friend?" Taehyung growled, his eyes flashing blue and green for a moment.

"Remember who you're talking to, Kim." His manager spat, standing up and easily towering over him.

Taehyung took a deep breath to calm himself down, apologising gently.

"You start in a few hours, get moving." He said sternly, earning a polite bow and the sight of Taehyung leaving his office.

Taehyung had green and blue powers. His mother and father came from different clans and fell in love, but it was forbidden. They joined the protection programme to keep Taehyung safe and never came back. His manager refused to let him know what happened but Taehyung had a strong feeling his parents didn't have a very happy ending, which put an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Mixing blue and green powers weren't uncommon, but the children never survived and died quickly due to their body not having enough strength to process their combined powers. The protection programme gave Taehyung some antibiotics that were still being tested, but it was worth the risk, because he was alive now. He learnt how to use his powers pretty quickly and was a rather bratty child,  but that all changed when he met someone named Yoongi. Yoongi was his protector up until he turned eighteen and always taught him how to control his powers in a sensible way. 

Taehyung never got to say goodbye to Yoongi the day he turned eighteen. The elder just vanished from the entire country, leaving no trace. Taehyung wanted to make Yoongi proud and happy, so he followed in his footsteps and here he was, getting assigned to a fucking high school kid. At first, he was disappointed but finding out he was a purple just made him want to do this even more.

Purples were extinct or hiding out in snowy places, so it was shocking to see an entire popular high school student going around as if he owned the damn city. Taehyung spent a lot of time studying Jeon Jungkook, and found some pretty upsetting things about him. Like how he was homophobic and once beat up a baby duck for trying to follow him home. Taehyung loathed brats and honestly refuses to acknowledge the fact that he was one when he was six. Plus, there's a difference between being six and eighteen. 

Taehyung had promised Yoongi he would protect his precious Earth no matter what and still had the scar on his hand to remind himself everyday. If only Yoongi could see him now.
