"You told me this should be fun,
Thanks for the talk,
Are we done?"

"Yoongi! Control them!" Jaeho yelled from the condo porch while taking shelter from the rain.

"No, they need to fight it out. Or else they'll continue to be like this" the mind controller spoke from the kitchen table where he continued to eat his dinner without a worry in a world.

"They can solve their problems like men and talk it out!" Yoongi continued to ignore him, making the trainer groan internally before looking back at the fight duo.

"Taehyung! Turn big and stop them!"

"Why? Tonight I got a dinner and a show!" He said whilst sitting next to Jungkook on the swing that was located on the porch and sheltered from the rain.

Jaeho couldn't believe it.

Everything had happened so quickly.

One minute, Jin was teasing Namjoon and the next they were brawling it out.

He had never seen heroes such as these.

"They're outside!" The Athena trainer and Yoongi looked towards the bottom of the stair case where Jimin, Myunghee and you were currently running towards where the commotion was.

You weren't surprised when you heard from the elemental that they were fighting outside. Actually, you were expecting it but not this soon in to training.

You could already see the ice and the vines battling each other through the windows and once you stepped outside on the porch, you could see the two heroes.

Namjoon was currently on the ground while in his ice form and Jin was in the air with the help of the nearby trees to help him up.

"Yoongi, come out here and stop them!" Myunghee ordered whilst watching with anger flowing through her body at the two unreasonable heroes.

"Like I said, you guys should let them-"

"I'm going to make the hero council kick you out of the Protectors" the raven haired hero whipped his head towards the Athena trainer who was deadly serious about his threat.

"They have nothing to do with me-"

"This is your last warning" Jaeho squinted his eyes at the younger who in return glared back. Huffing out in annoyance, the mind controller pushed his way past the trainer and outside to where the others were.

"You must think you're so special!" Jin yelled before lashing another vine at his way, making it move like a whip almost.

The ice hero jumped out of the way, letting the vine snap at the ground instead of him.

"Funny, I was going to say the same thing!" Namjoon stomped his foot on the ground, making spikes appear on front of him and towards the plant manipulator where they had cut some branches that were holding up the hero.

Before Jin could fall, he regained his stance as he manipulated more branches to hold him up.

"You only got to where you are now because you're an elemental!" Discreetly, a vine had managed to sneak up behind Namjoon and wrapped itself around his legs before pulling him up in the air all of a sudden.

Gritting his teeth, the blonde allowed his powers to flow through to the vines and freeze them off of him, making him fall towards the ground but at the last second he flipped his body so that he could land on his feet and fist  breaking the ground slightly as he did so.

Slowly, he stood up menacingly and glared at the older with his clear blue eyes before really letting his powers go. The ground beneath his feet started to freeze over and gradually spread towards the trees around the area.

Jin watched with wary eyes as Namjoon came closer and with every step he took, ice spiked sprung out beside him.

If the others didn't know that he was a hero, they would surely think he was a villain.

Having had enough of waiting around, the purple haired hero was about to summon the vines at him again until he felt there was no plant life surrounding him no more.

And just like that, the branches that held him up snapped once they froze over by the ice. Without any plants that were alive near him, Jin fell to the iced ground harshly, breaking the ice as he did so and cutting his skin in places.

"Gah!" Jin wasn't in his element. The sun had set a long time ago and the moon wasn't helping his powers whatsoever.

He hated this feeling.

The feeling of being weak.

Namjoon had reached to where the fallen hero was and slowly, rose his hand over Jin, ready to use his powers to hurt him.

Just as he was about to use his ice spikes, Namjoon's mind went blank and quickly he retracted back his hand as well as returning back to his normal form.

Jin looked up when he realised that the younger was stood in front of him and he only became confused at how strange the other was acting.

"The both of you need to grow up" Namjoon's voice filled the air. The older looked lost as he tried to understand what he had meant until he realised that Yoongi had taken over his mind.

"It's none of your business" he muttered before standing up, hissing at the pain slightly as he did so. Yoongi watched through Namjoon's eyes as the other walked off towards the condo before sighing in exasperation.

"... I really thought you weren't going to let your anger take control of your powers, Namjoon... you proved me wrong" the ice hero, who was in his subconscious while his fellow Athena hero took control of his mind, felt angry with himself for letting his emotions get the best of him.
