Hongjoong and Yeosang were hanging out in their room. "So...the tv says BigHits main mutants escaped. And now the ninth district? This night seems never ending." Yeosang sighed, leaning his head onto his hyung. "Right? We just got here and we may have to leave." The leader took an abnormally deep breath. "You okay?" The birthmarked boy looked to his left.

"Yeah...just worried. What if we're next? What will happen then. We just debuted and we're doing pretty damn well but still " hongjoong kept rambling until a very pissed off Wooyoung appeared at the door. "Hyung, Jongho is doing it again...making me feel stupid, I'm no booboo the fool! Tell him to stop!" The younger whined, the two cuddle buddies getting up and walking to the living area. "Jongho, quit teasing Wooyoung...we're not letting this become america 2.0"

"What? He started it! Getting on my nerves during performance practice...saying I wAsN'T dOinG it RighT..." He stated with mockery sneaking into his words. "Look...just don't murder each other. That too much to ask?" Yeosang face palmed, Seonghwa walking in. His expression showed that he was completely unphased by the current situation. "They at it again?" He asked, Yeosang nodding as calmly as possible.

"Look...last thing we need to do is be arguing at this moment in time." Seonghwa sighed, walking to the kitchenette to get another cup of coffee. Yunho walked in, hair disheveled. "Why are you all so loud? I'm trying to sleep." All everyone did was point directly to Wooyoung and Jungho with calm, irritated faces. "Ah...okay..well I'm up now so, that's a new thing." The tired boy flopped onto the couch, hugging the pillow close.

San soon joined, hugging shiber on his chest. "Everything okay out here? All I know is I heard noise." Everyone simultaneously said yes and went back to what they were doing. "So...what're we gonna do? Idols are going insane." Yeosang sighed, honestly having no clue. "I dont know...I really don't, we may have to wait and see." A different tone spoke, mingi walking in mid-conversation.

"We have to be safe about this. We can't just separate." Hongjoong piped in, mingi looking in his direction as if he were crazy. "And...what if we have to separate? What happens then." They were about to argue until an amber alert came through on their phones, telling them to turn the tv on.

{Hello, this is the Seoul Police Department. Another group from Juvenile Youth Penitentiary has escaped in a black van. Please be on the look out for Jackson, Mark, Yugyeom, BamBam, Jinyoung, Jaebaum and Yungjae. If spotted alert us immediately. Thank you for tuning in and have a good rest of your night.}

"Damn...another group?" Jongho cocked and eyebrow, Wooyoung sighing, "We're screwed." "No. No we're not. Have faith." San clutched shiber closer, his optimistic views making the other members freak out even more. "Guys?" Everyones mind went blank, not allowing a proper thought to go through their heads as everyone separated.

They did the one thing they promised not to do, split up. And that would be their downfall, for a sudden rumble of thunder clapped in the sky. They all looked up, seeing the beautiful array of lightning streaking through the night sky. "Isnt it beautiful?" Hongjoong asked, everyone nodding in agreement.

"So leader, what do we do now? We're all outside. You give the call." Yeosang smirked, his birthmark almost disappearing. Everyone eyed the second eldest fondly, waiting for him to speak. Hongjoong took a deep breath, letting it go as he spoke in a disturbingly calm tone, "give em hell...elementals."

((Slightly short of the others but I hope you all enjoyed it! Also its short cause I am just getting into Ateez--and you should too--so bear with me if I don't type much for them. Anyway, plot starts in the next chapter! Can't wait))
