The Gifted (Txt x Itzy)

Rain poured down on to the ground, a wonderful way to be woken up in the morning. They six of them scrambled for shelter, finding a park gazebo that they could hide under. Yuna bemoaned the state of her skirt that dripped with water, as the rest wrung their drenched clothes. "Well, that was spectacular," Jisu remarked. Kai coughed, "Yep, we're gonna be here for a while." Taehyun studied the grey messy sky, then dropped his eyes and was startled by the shining thread that seemed to beckon him like a crooked finger. "Taehyun, do you want a-" Jisu's outstretched hand held a packet of biscuits, but the said boy had began to sprint out from the shelter, allowing the rain water to gush down on him.

"Taehyun!"

He could only concentrate on following that shimmering string. Rainwater blurred his vision, but he fought through the unwavering rain. Then, to his utmost confusion, the thread split into two. In front of him stood two boys, almost identical. Jisu panted as she ran to his side, everyone trailing behind her. Nodding in realisation, Taehyun turned to the rest. "They're twins. That's why they moved so much." "You idiot," Jisu said, "That's what I said." The boy looked at her cluelessly in shock, and Yuna snickered lightly, "She did."

"How do we convince them now?"

"Easy, just say what we said to the others."

Taehyun stepped forward. "Hey, I'm Taehyun," He started out smoothly. The two boys tensed, but maintained eye contact. "We're like you," Taehyun assured, "See?" Fire danced across his palm, the two boys staring entraphed at the flames. "What's your name?" Jisu asked gently. The taller twin stepped forward, not to them but in front of his brother. "How do we know we can trust you?" He asked shakily. The younger put his hand on his brother's shoulder,"Hyung, it's okay, they are like us." "How are you so sure?" Yuna asked, then they surged forward and planted a hand on each of Taehyun shoulders, then leapt back raising their arms and-

"What the fu-"

"Language!"

The rain water around them collected, forming a shelter, the bubble rippling and churning and pulsating above them. Yuna gasped happily as she finally was able to dry herself while the others stared, dumbfound. The twins nodded in satisfaction, and approached them once more, with their rainwater bubble still hovering over them. "I'm Soobin, and that's Beomgyu," The taller introduced. "Hey, when will I get my power back?" Taehyun asked, eyeing the water bubble. Soobin grinned shyly, "Half an hour?" "Your thing is taking other's powers?" Jisu guessed. Beomgyu shrugged, "Mimicking and disabling, if we want to."

"Cool."

"Thanks."

"Please don't let the bubble fall down on us."

"But where else can we put it?"

"Around us?"

"Hm, but we haven't gotten a good grasp on this power."

"YOU LITERALLY JUST CREATED A BUBBLE WHAT DO YOU MEAN-"

SPLASH

"I don't like you two."
